Rachel Reviews: Diamond Star Halo by Tiffany Murray
There are some books, for whatever reason, that just manage to find their way into you more than others, like a tattoo and they become part of you in ways that others don't. These are your five star reads, where you finish reading and yet, the book remains in your consciousness afterwards AND whilst you have moved on to other reading material.

Get Over It!
This story comes with a mild Dharrsheena warning - mention of animal death This was inspired by the fact that Sunday was National Get Over It Day in the USA. This was originally going to be published by me on Sunday but I opted to write one about mothers instead as it was Mother's Day in the UK.

A Mountain View. Content Warning.
"Why have you brought me here?" Julia stood in front of the window and looked at the amazing view. The mountains were just breaking the early morning haze and their outlines were hesitating to show themselves but gradually, in the warmth from the sun, they were revealed. Snow striped the steep sides and the lake's milky green contrasted with the slopes' solid greyness.

Mother's Day. Content Warning.
As she rounded the corner, she was met with a face that was just like hers. But Amy could sense that this woman's spirit was different. There was a cautious wariness to her, like she'd been wounded again and again and not all of the scars were sealed or healed. With every movement, she looked cowed.
