Review:

If life was so perfect

Would we be us?

Would we be the same?

Or would we just adjust?

- If (Part 2) by Melina Turner

I am eager,

To know.

Of what,

I am not.

But,

Should be.

- Destiny by Melina Turner

Pieces of Mel is a collection of poems spanning various themes. I admire anyone that can put up their poems for the world to see. Unlike most novels, poems tend to be far more personal and show the writer's vulnerable side.

Through this collection of poems you can see the writer's journey through different phases of her life. It allows you a look at snippets of her life as she sees it - The questions burning in her mind, the moments that have shaped who she is, the things she has seen, the person she has become.

Its quite wonderful really to see her transformation through these poems as they progress throughout the book. I loved the paranormal undertones in some of the poems. Some of the poems were like a complete story in poem form. I just wish the book was a bit more fine-tuned and edited a bit better, it would have made the book a stellar read.

Some of my favorite poems were A Hero in Blue, A Villan in Red, Loving One in Vengeance, and Deathly-Roses Poetry Part 1.

The Deathly-Roses Vol 1 by Melina Turner

Blurb:
(TDR is a flash fiction novella series)
I had scratches and scars all over me but they were slowly disappearing, which was great and would let my beauty settle in. I looked at myself focusing on different parts of my face, something was different. Was it my full lips? The cleaned face? The well-plucked eyebrows? No, it wasn't. It was my eye color it had changed... 
Meet Wisty, a teenager forced by her family to bond to the richest, in Acrelain. But dire punishments have given her something she never believed was true. Join Wisty as she sets off on her journey between good and evil to find the very truths...that could break her or make her stronger. 


I'm not scheduled for a review, I know but for a prelude to that thing down there (the sketch... isn't very good I know) I thought I might as well post it.

Review:

The Deathly Roses...

The title itself would make me want to read the book. The first time when Melina told me about this book's title I loved it! I thought it’s different; it’s got a cool ring to it and it’s mysterious… I set to read it and finished it rather quickly.

I’d say this that I’m not a fan of this style of writing but I really liked the story line. By the time I was done reading it made me anxious to find out what would happen next.

Only negative, it just needs a little more polishing for me...

It’s not very often that I’m inspired to sketch, but after reading the book I kept thinking about the title and ended up sketching... Any book that can inspire me to do anything is definitely a must have for me!

A fast paced gripping story and an original take on things. Can’t wait to see where she takes this journey to next!

My well sketch :P

Lemme know how it is?

Take Care!
