📚 Book Review 📚 The Fortune Teller be Gwendolyn Womack was a fun intriguing read. Swipe to read the synopsis. •

I picked this up on a whim. Not having heard of the author but the beautiful cover and synopsis had me hooked. Semele Cavnow is an intelligent women which adds depth to the story. Then you have the sexy Theo Bossard who you’re not always sure of his intentions. I love how the book switches between an ancient manuscript and present time. There’s enough adventure and mystery to keep the pages turning. 🌟🌟🌟🌟/5 •

✨✨✨✨Cover Reveal and Giveaway✨✨✨✨
If given the chance would you want to see your future???
Today I’m revealing the stunning cover for The Premonitions Club by gwendolyn.womack. It is coming out in April 2025.
Blurb:
When Liv and her friends stumble on old boxes of psychic predictions that were never meant to be found, they are put on the radar of dangerous people who’d do anything to get their hands on those predictions.
The future can be changed. You just have to see it first.
When Liv Hall and her friends find boxes of letters hidden in her grandfather’s attic, they discover hundreds of psychic predictions addressed to the Premonitions Bureau, a bureau to investigate psychic abilities that mysteriously closed in 1993. As the group reads decades-old premonitions, they stumble on letters from powerful psychics who mailed in their predictions and then disappeared
A post online about the found predictions alerts a black ops group in charge of the military’s paranormal research, who will do anything to get their hands on the letters and the psychics who wrote them. Liv and her friends now know too much, and they’re directly in the crosshairs. To survive, they’re going to have to rely on each other and the unlikely help of psychics who thought they’d left the dangers of the Bureau behind forever.

Este livro está na minha estante desde dezembro de 2021.
Lendo, me pergunto por que não o li antes?
Tudo tem seu tempo. Como um mistério.
Quantas vidas cabem dentro de uma vida?
Quantas memórias?
Nossa geração não teceu a rede da vida, somos um fio deste emaranhado.
Onde realidade e ficção se misturam, e onde se separam?

Today is a blue day. It’s gloomy and chilly here in Chicago which coincides perfectly with my dreary mood. .
.
On a brighter note, I just finished How To Love A Duke in Ten Days by kerriganbyrne and it was phenomenal! I’m now impatiently waiting till 2020 to read the sequel. I really need to start checking release dates before I start a new book. But I don’t regret reading it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!! I have a full review up on my blog(link in bio). .

Do you have any fun weekend plans? .

The Time Collector by Gwendolyn Womack. (gwendolyn.womack ) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
-
I truly loved this book! I had never read a book about Psychometrists before and I was so intrigued and captured by the concept.
-
Our main characters are Roan and Melicent. They are both Psychometrists meaning they have the ability to touch objects and see the imprints of who it belonged to and basically read the history of any given artifact.
-
I loved the strong character development, the chemistry between characters, the mystery and puzzle solving was on point, and I thought the pacing of the book was excellently done.
-
This book has it all mystery, danger, strong characters, a touch of romance. It draws you in and takes you on a delightful adventure. I enjoyed it so much and can’t wait to recommend it to people when it comes out!
-
Thank you Netgalley for my free Advanced Readers copy of this book!

The Premonitions Club by gwendolyn.womack
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book was a total surprise from the moment it came on my desk to me randomly deciding to pick it up all the way through to the final pages. The story was firmly YA while also surprisingly adult with the government aspect of it. A very different take on the paranormal and I loved how it wasn’t so fantastical and very real-world based.

Another great collection of kindle reads and audible listens. My favorite was definitely The Last Labyrinth, but they each had their charms 🥰

For me, The Last Labyrinth was like Outlander on meth. This story grabs you by the short and curlies right from the get-go. Gwendolyn Womack stirs up a big pot of feminine power and then lets it loose on the reader with an unmatched ferocity.
I love a good time traveling storyline that`s woven with historical figures, themes of magic and music, and some great characters. The Labyrinth kept me enthralled until the last page.
In fact, I turned the last page, expecting more. I felt like the Fool with one foot dangling over a cliff edge, about to discover what path I`m really on. I honestly had no idea the book was finished, and I do hope there is another coming. It wasn`t enough for me - I need closure dammit.
I don`t rate books, I read them.

Picked up from a discount store based on its premise -- which is that Roan can sense an object’s past by touching it, an ability known as psychometry. Psychometrists are rare, and when they start to go missing after investigating strange objects that are found wildly out of place, like a ring belonging to Descartes that was found in prehistoric stone, Roan realizes he and Melicent, a newly-discovered psychometrist, are in danger.
The synopsis on the back was interesting enough to make me grab it, but I was quite let down by this book. There was so little character depth to Roan or Melicent, despite the fact that we spend the entire book with them and watch them fall in love in a matter of days. The relationships that had more potential, like Melicent trying to connect with her teenage brother, whom she has been taking care of since the death of their mother, felt superficial.
The Time Collector is at its best when describing the vivid flashbacks that psychometrists receive upon touching objects, and I wish Womack had pressed a little harder on this concept. The most moving scene was a flashback to one character’s childhood experience with the horrors of the Korean War, and the subsequent understanding of how that shaped what she chose to do with her life. It was a little disappointing to see her left in the background of a less interesting cast of characters.
This book is a short, fast read -- I got through most of it in one sitting and finished it in less than a day, but it wasn’t the most satisfying.

BOOK REVIEW: The Fortune Teller by Gwendolyn Womack
•
Semele Cavnow, accomplished antiquities appraiser and graphologist, lands the gig of her dreams--the chance to appraise the infamous private collection of recently deceased Marcel Bossard.
•
Tucked away in the midst of Bossard`s vast collection, Semele finds a mysterious and ancient manuscript that isn`t accounted for anywhere, and as soon she begins to translate the archaic words, her carefully curated life begins to unravel at the seams. Soon Semele understands that the manuscript is at once a memoir and a prophecy--one that is connected to her in ways she never would have imagined.
‐----------------------------
Womack gracefully weaves present and (several) past narratives into a cohesive story with the help of tarot card imagery. There`s almost a sense of foreboding that`s always lurking around the corner (the page?) that I quite enjoyed, though the ending felt a little incomplete to me. I flew through this novel in the span of about two days, and can say it`s a fun and not too heavy read. I`d recommend for fans of light historical fiction, or those interested in tarot or divination. Overall, I`d give it ★★★☆☆ (3.5)

The Premonitions Club by Gwendolyn Womack
4⭐
While cleaning out her grandfather`s attic after his death, Liv finds boxes with her dad`s name on them full of letters addressed to The Premonitions Bureau, a group dedicated to verifying the premonitions sent to them. Liv and the entire group of her friends that saw the letters are now being investigated and hunted by a group that wants the letters for themselves.
This was a super fun and quick story that brings together themes like, YA, science fiction, paranormal, and historical fiction. It was fast paced with plenty of action and interesting enough characters. I recommend checking this book out if you`re interested in YA paranormal books.

A thrilling page-turner from Gwendolyn Womack, the USA Today bestselling author of The Fortune Teller
Travel through time with the touch of a hand.
Roan West was born with an extraordinary gift: he can relive memories across centuries and glean history first-hand. A highly skilled psychometrist, Roan is able to perceive the past of any object he touches. He has spent his life as a voyeur, using his talents to find and sell valuable antiques, but his quiet life in New Orleans is about to change. Stuart, a fellow pyschometrist and Roan’s close friend, has just unearthed several “ooparts”: out-of-place-artifacts that challenge recorded history, including a ring belonging to the seventeenth-century mathematician and philosopher René Descartes that was found buried in prehistoric bedrock.
The implications are staggering, but soon after the discovery, Stuart disappears, making him one of several psychometrists who have died mysteriously in recent months or vanished without a trace. When Roan comes across a YouTube video of a young woman who has discovered a priceless pocket watch by “sensing” it, he knows he has to warn her—but will Melicent Tilpin listen? And can Roan find Stuart before it’s too late? The quest for answers will lead Roan and Melicent around the world, and to forgotten corners of history, before it brings them closer to a startling truth and to each other in the latest romantic thriller from Gwendolyn Womack—the bestselling, PRISM Award-winning author of The Memory Painter and The Fortune Teller. .

Obsessed with this new book that comes out tomorrow from author gwendolyn.womack from camcat_books . I love YA personally but even more I love to be able to share it with the teens in my life. Books that are appropriate, engaging and can let you mind sink into place that may be different than the typical.
I especially love the appendix at the end of the book! But you’ll have to get the book to find out what it is!
