Card + Energy reading review
This review is for @arcreads who I engaged for a mixed reading!
So I had some deity mumbo jumbo that I wanted to get to the bottom of in a more in-depth manner, and Arc really delivered! They were really nice about structuring my reading and my queries, and there is just something very different about their way of reading that I really like. It’s like you can feel it... I dont know how to describe it in a succinct way but if you know, you know! It left me feeling very empowered!! The way they work is really inspiring to be honest.
Check out all their services here!!
Review for ArcReads
@arcreads is a fantastic diviner!
First of all, his information pages are very concise and to the point. His rules are very reasonable, as are his prices. And he offers free readings as well as paid ones for a good price. In fact, with his skill, I’m surprised he doesn’t charge more. He will also work with you on questions and what you need exactly.
Second, his readings. They are delivered via e-mail in a PDF, which is very nice to have on hand to refer to over and over. He does them in a timely manner, and doesn’t ask for payment until after he has delivered. They are also accurate and very insightful, never leaving you feel like it was a waste of money.
And last, he makes sure you understand the reading, keeping the dialogue open and offering to draw any clarifying cards if needed. And of course, Arc is very kind and understanding, and happy to help what he can.
I highly, highly recommend his services if you need any cartomancy or energy readings. I have paid for two of his readings so far, and they were worth every penny. They really helped me with insight into the questions I was asking. I would go to him again, and recommend him to anyone looking for a trusted and skilled diviner.

HUGE Shoutout
I got a free VISAGE reading from @arcreads, and while I’m still chewing on the content, I definitely recommend Arc as a reader. I got an energy reading with deity messages, and then the Glyphs deck kinda hit me upside the head with a ‘you’re looking in the wrong place, remember your roots’ message as well.
Worth the time and money, and definitely delivered quicker than promised.
(Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some work of my own to do, with the messages I was given.)
I just got a paid energy reading from @arcreads. Wow! What a surprise! Not only was it relevant to several things in my life, but it gave a great “jumping-off” point for me to go forward with. I got the reading in a neat PDF via email, and Arc messaged me to ensure delivery and satisfaction. So great customer service there. The reading itself was direct and to the point, which I found very helpful. Yet, it had its subtleties and was not without parts that spoke to me personally and my spiritual journey.
Not only would I use Arc’s service again, but I would highly recommend anyone seeking divination to go to them. And, they have free readings as well!
The Ties That Bind Us (The Bonds of Fate #1) by Deidra Duncan
3 Stars!!
Thank you to Deidra Duncan for an ARC of this book for review. Thoughts and opinions are my own.
The premise of this is interesting, but the execution kind of fell flat, IMO. Not quite sure what it was, but the book was very slow in the beginning; the author trying to introduce you to everything all at once really bogged things down. Things picked up towards the end, but there was a lot to get through to get to that point first. I'll admit to skimming a bit because it was a lot and I couldn't tell if I was just uninterested, if it's the author's writing style, or what.
As Sean, and even David, started getting more involved/realizing things, the info-dump slowed down but then it felt like it was a little bit there as needed. I did like the past memories/lives aspect as things went on. The whole soulbond/mate thing is intriguing but also I kind of feel like Isobel can't be trusted?
The end is kind of a cliffhanger but not, but it also tears at your emotions! Holy hell does David get put through the ringer! Really hoping that whatever comes, he's able to find his way out of this because Anna really is for him, no matter what either of them seems to think/what magic is at play. And the epilogue makes it seem like others know this but maybe there's something in the way.
Overall, this book is intriguing. It's a little heavy/dense at the beginning as the author attempts to throw a lot at you all at once, but it's not a bad book. And I'm definitely interested to see how stuff falls out between Sean/David/Anna and the soulmate thing. Plus the epilogue.
