Long Road Full Speed Ahead
By:  Emily Walker
 





Synopsis - A young girl struggles with abuse, addiction, and abortion
all while trying to go to school. Somehow she hits rock bottom and
finds an unlikely love story.

Blurb - Grace finds herself with a toxic friend and a brand new hobby
when she discovers meth. She had a promising future before Grayson
came into the picture. A wolf in sheep's clothing he soon shows his
true colors and they are painted with black and blue. The drugs cause
more problems than they fix, but lost in the intoxicating world of
numbness she must find herself through abuse, addiction, and abortion.
Will she let the drugs take her out of the world, and be forever numb,
or will an unlikely love pull her out and make her feel again?


My Review
5 *****


I would have to say that after reading this book it has hit a nerve in my heart. Emily Walker did an amazing job with the story line and the depiction of characters. Sometimes I just wanted to scream at Grace for putting up with her abusive boyfriend for so long, but when you're young you see things in a totally different perspective. Love is completely blind at that age, and when you mix in drugs and self-esteem issues it feels like it'll be the end of the world if you don't have that certain person with you.
In this book you see how Grace's somewhat normal life gets transformed into a world of danger and drugs. In comes new friends and new ways of life. I don't personally relate to Grace in this book because I was never into the drug scene, but with the way the story was written out I felt like I was right along with Grace and experiencing everything that she was and feeling the torment she felt at those low times. Long Road Full Speed Ahead is not a happy fairytale book. It gives you the inside scoop on how teens live their lives and the brutal reality of it all.
Emily Walker gives you a heartwrenching tale with Long Road and I wouldn't recommend this book for young readers. There are some intense situations that would require more mature readers. It's definitely a book worth reading.

New Cover Reveal!
“Rourk” By: Julia Crane...
Here is the brand new cover reveal for Julia Crane’s next book “Rourk”.
(Cover design by Eden Crane Design).

 
 
 
Here is a little teaser excerpt for you all as well! Hope all you enjoy!

Keegan groaned. “I wish you would have woken me.”
His lip twitched as he tried not to smile. Waking Keegan at five am would pretty much be impossible.
“It’s going to be hard having you gone again so soon.” Her face was drawn and sad, though she was trying to hide it.
Rourk traced his fingers through her hair, wishing he could do something to take that look off her face. “It’s hard for me, too.”
Keegan leaned into his touch, moving closer to lay her head on his shoulder. “I know you love it. You don’t have to pretend for me.”
“But I love you more,” Rourk said seriously.
“Why don’t you come over here and show me?” Keegan gave him the impish smile that drove him crazy.
A grin on his face, Rourk tossed his shirt off and joined Keegan under the covers. A plate smashed to the floor, and she giggled. Gods, he loved the sound of her laugh. He couldn’t get enough of her, and knew he never would. Keegan was his chosen, his other half, and she made his life worth living.

Both, I’m a write after all……

6.    Day or Night?
Night, I can’t really tell you why. I just love the way things feel at night.
 
7.    Cash or Debit Card?
I always seem to use my Debit card everywhere for some reason, it just seems more convenient.

Ashamed to say it but, text.
