   The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . CLARITY CASTLE . . . Hello, Clare. For me this was like taking a trip through one's mind. Clare finds a castle that has many different versions of herself. She had to confront these different version of herself in the alternate world she walked into. As we are different, we are the same. Our minds hold keys to our innate differences. Marie-Hélène brough these differences to the forefront in this not so easy journey for Clare. She discovers much about herself and the world around her. It was fantasy, but it also was reality in the mind. Make one change in an action, an event, a choice and this could change who you are. Something to think about.

Sophie Snow was a new voice to me and it was a pleasant one that fit the genre. She was strong and feminine. There were slight difference in the various carbons of Clare. I liked that. It was nice to know when it was clearly Clare and not one of her alter egos. I think this helped because of the narrative it was told from. Thank you, Marie-Hélène.  

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Marie-Hélène Lebeault. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

Clare Knox discovers a castle where the old quarry should be, while walking in the woods near her home. When she realizes it's actually a realm with an infinite number of alternate versions of herself, she can't believe her luck. But things aren't all sunshine and rainbows. Strange rituals are happening at Clarity Castle. Will Clare rise to meet their expectations of her, or will she crumble under the weight of her own negativity?

Q&A with Main Character Claire Knox

• Your friends are speaking unfairly about a mutual friend. Do you speak up?
  • I hate conflict. I know our friend is bound to find out and be upset. I won’t be able to sleep until everyone is friends again. Yes, I’d speak up to defend my friend and remind the others that they wouldn’t like to be the object of such talk.
• If you won the lottery, how would it change your life?
  • My mom works so hard to pay for everything on her own. If I won the lottery, I’d put money aside for college and give the rest to my mom so she could pay off the mortgage.
• If you could relive one day of your life without changing anything that happened, which day would you choose?
  • The day I found Clarity Castle, of course!
• Who were you closest to as a child?
  • Other than my mom, Sam’s the one I’ve always been close to. We met in kindergarten and have been best friends ever since. He gets me.
• How would your parents describe you?
  • My dad died when I was two and I don’t remember him. But mom and Nana would describe me as sensitive, caring, helpful, and smart.
• Do you stay up late or wake up early?
  • I’m in bed every night at nine and up with the sun.
• What do you do if you can’t sleep?
  • I take a melatonin tablet and watch TikToks until it kicks in.
• Are you more of a text person or a phone call person? Why?
  • Text, definitely text. I hate talking on the phone. Who talks on the phone anymore?
• Can you lie easily?
  • No. I’m the worst liar ever. My face is so expressive that people would know right away.
• What’s the weirdest job you would be willing to do?
  • I wouldn’t mind stocking shelves. I’d love to be the one to align all the cans. So long as I could listen to some tunes and didn’t have to talk to anyone.
