This, in the keg, is amazing.  Phenomenal flavor, the cinnamon is there but not over powering.  The blue berries are there but not over powering.  There’s still a weird “soapy” flavor in the keg.  I haven’t bottled the 1/2 gallon yet for Drew but I plan on doing that tonight.

Keg is gone.  It was good but still had a “soapy” flavor.  I’m hoping the beer I just keged isn’t soapy.  There’s still a half gallon in a glass carboy that needs bottled.

Wow.  The twists and turns in a Berry book….I didn’t see it coming.
Isaac, the boy who lives struggles with survivors guilt.  He and Jules have a relationship apart from Therapist and client.  Jules isn’t all there either though.  She struggles with disassociative disorder.  Amber and Mark (Isaac’s mom and dad) struggle to keep him from going….Off the Deep End.

I’m giving this book a 10/10.  I loved it.

Amazon first read.  Started on 2/22/24.  Never read the author before. Finished on 2/28/24. 6 Days.
Daaaayyyyuuuummmmm!  I’ve got to see what else this author has written.

Rae, a dominatrix had a hard life, she was trafficked and mom didn’t want her.  Her friends passed and then when she was 8 months pregnant the couple that took her in wanted to steal her baby.  Jump ahead and back.  Chapters were short and characters were very well written.  Giving this book a 10/10
