"The Necklace" by Amanda Lawrence Auverigne 

My Opinion:

Social Media is viral.  Sometimes some good Vloggers go behind the camera and do an excellent job with their followers; however, we have Linda Grace, who was set with her Videoing.  We also find out from the read that Linda had a temperament about her that wasn't always nice...like the way she spoke to her maid or helper as Rose called her and a person named Faral Hawkins that she treated severely.  As the story goes on [by the way, this is a short read of 12 chapters], we learn more about Linda, Grace Clan, and the wrenchers.  One could tell Linda liked what she was doing with the bloggers, and having 230,000 subscribers wasn't wrong with her.  She even got money from the cash app from some of her followers. Everything seemed to be going OK for Linda when her vloggers wanted her to go shopping...using her video...live, and streaming it.  Linda went shopping and bought a Keurig, some shoes and a cherry Slush.  However, she had a problem with a sales clerk who didn't want to be videoed and by Linda.  By Linda not liking what was said and all with dealing with Christopher, she got her followers involved, and they stepped in going to Christopher's Instagram, Snap Chap, Linked In, and TikTok and not staying nice things.

As she continued her shopping, one of her Vloggers [Lady M] suggested that she check out an antique store. Well, things went down from there for *Miss Linda, and I will stop and stay; you much pick up this good read to see what she will encounter while visiting Meredith Treasures and Antiques as she insisted on purchasing a specific item that wasn't for sale.

The ending was on point, and that was one should 'Always remember to Stay Graceful.'

Thank you to the author for the read of your story of 'The Necklace.'

Gylded Wings (Golden Wings) Kindle Edition by Linda Nightingale

Profile:

"Angels in slavery? Brit Montgomery cannot believe it, until she is sent on a rescue mission to another dimension and witnesses the cruel practice first hand. The angel, Gyldan, is the most beautiful being she’s ever seen. She is drawn to him but sometimes beauty disguises wicked secrets. This man who rocks her world seems more demon than angel.

Gyldan, born into slavery, has one desire—fly free. When he escapes to Earth, he faces an alternate self-realization full of dark glory…and disbelief. Gyldan is bent on experiencing his newfound powers unmindful of the harm to Brit or others. 

Confused and hurt by Gyldan’s erratic evil actions, Brit turns away. While Gyldan’s journey of self-discovery pulls him further distant, Brit finds acceptance in a solitary, comfortable life of her own until she realizes the day of reckoning has come. Will Gyldan be her final ruin or has he come back to her with a gift more precious than life itself?"

"Gylded Wings" by Linda Nightingale

My Thoughts.....              

If you are in to paranormal tales and fantasy's you have come to the right place because 'Gylded Wings will give one quite a entertaining romantic read.  This story was of Gyldan [an angel born into slavery and Brit [who was a human and there to take him to Earth]. I will say you will have to keep up with this story because there will be a lots of twist where the reader will find that on Gyldan's flights of discovery from Anachrys to Earth as he will suffers from  the uncertainly as well as the acceptance of the truth.  I like the description of how this author delivers a wonderful description of Gyldan running from the castle, with a horrible winter landscapes upon them as they are on there way to the portal to Earth which happens to be Miami.  Having been treated so horribly in Anachrys as a slave and now being treated with great reverence was somewhat mystifying for Gyldan and learning just who his rescuer was that brought him to Earth was quite interesting. As Gyldan is now in a new world and seems to have lost his memory and will have to learn and get help from his new friends. What will happen as "Gyldan is bent on experiencing his newfound powers unmindful of the harm to Brit or the others."


As the story continues on will this Angel truly be the slave Gyldan or will he become someone else?  From his flight back to Anachrys with Brit will Gyldan be able to save his sister and son?  By the end will this 'Fallen Angel' get the redemption that he wants and become a 'Guardian Angel?' How will all  of this work out for Gyldan and Brit?   Be ready a well written story with developed and portrayed characters from ... Gyldan, Lianas of Hamlin [Brit], Sarah, Seph [Gyldan sibling Sephiroth], Adamus, Miriam, James, Rikbiel,  Zophiel, [Paimon & Astanoth],  Jaluha, Yahriel, Sandy, Lucifer, Beelzebub to name a few that will give the reader one fantastic story from the 'Gylded Wings.'
