Taking a job testing products was my mother's idea. I had no idea how it would change my life. And boy, did it ever. I lost a lot of weight, became stronger, and now have superhuman abilities. Great, huh? Not so great, when you realize you have to use these abilities against something heading to Earth who are called the Destroyers.
My name is Sophie Martin and I'm a leader of a little group called the Oracles. We're the only ones who can face what's coming. I'm no hero, but it's up to me to do what an alien race couldn't--defeat an alien race that's determined to destroy everything in their path...

A Mother's Pain
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2024
A Mother’s Pain by A.R. Grosjean is a story of a young mother named Anna who rises above the horrible treatment she receives from her mother. Anna demonstrates grace, compassion, and tolerance way beyond what her mother is able to show. She is steadfast and persistent until she achieves her most important goal. I won’t say more than that because to do so would spoil the plot. I think many women will relate and benefit from reading this short, easy-to-read book.

Mother of the Dragons
BORN OF DRAGONS
HIS IS A BEAUTIFUL AND HEARTBREAKING STORY AT THE SAME, THE STORY IS SWEET BUT HAS THE ELEMENT OF LOSS AND DEATH THROUGHOUT THE STORY. AND THE WAS SWEET AND WONDERFUL!
NARRATION WAS AMAZING!
I CANNOT WAIT TO LISTEN TO MORE BOOKS FROM THIS AUTHOR!!!!!
Scarlet Pimpernel
Strange New World
White rabbits know more than you might think.
I loved the zany dream logic of this tale. Kevin accepted almost everything that happened to him immediately, but he was also struck by the cognitive dissonance the moment he tried to make logical sense of anything. This reminded me of lucid dreaming as well as of how funny it can be to try to describe a wild dream to someone the next morning after you’ve woken up and realized that half of it is rather nonsensical. What made sense while one slept is now confusing, and what was mildly confusing in the moment can feel like mashing six different genres together without any care given to continuity or plot development. It seemed complicated to put together despite being an homage to such a famous story, so I must tip my cap to the author for doing it so well.
There’s nothing like chuckling one’s way through a short story. This was my introduction to Ms. Grosjean’s work, and I already think I’m going to love her sense of humour if I’m lucky enough to read more from her in the future. It was tricky for me to figure out which examples of what she finds funny to include in my review that would give a small hint of what to expect without sharing too many spoilers. Let’s just say that tree huggers have an entirely different connotation in this universe than they do in our own, and I laughed out loud once I figured out what the sentient creatures who lived there thought of them.
The conversations were some of my favourite sections. Sometimes it felt as though Kevin and the various creatures he met on his adventure were speaking two completely different languages due to their different interpretations of the same word and expectations of what might happen next. This is where the author’s writing abilities really shone through the brightest in my opinion. There is nothing like using wordplay to make the audience giggle and nudge the plot forward despite all attempts to grind it to a halt so a caterpillar can pontificate a little longer.
Strange New World was a creative romp through a world many readers already know and love.
