I know this review is long over-do but instead of explaining why, I will spare you the excuses and just get on with it. This novel "Hillserpent Academy" by Richard Denney was one that I was really looking forward to. In fact, when the book first came in my mailbox, I dropped everything I was reading at the time to start it. It's a very short book with pretty large print so it took no time for me to fly through.
The story follows Owen Davinforth, a teenage boy who happens to More...

So first off let me tell you that this review has in no way shape or form anything to do with my friendship with Richard. How I rate books doesn't take into the affect of me and the authors relationship if there is one. I can hopefully say from the youtube bookcommunity that Richard is one of my dear friends. So now on to the review.
Let me just say that I do really love fast paced books. This is a real fast paced book at it's best. Mr. Denney's writing style really shines through. Of c More...

This is a short fast-paced novel. It has Harry Potter elements to it, in fact the author does not hide this fact. It is an American, modern HP twist. Owen Davinforth is a witch (he prefers this over warlock) and gets thrown out of Hillserpent and then is allowed back in after a few months. Things have changed in those few months. The school now allows other paranormals to go to the school - vampires and werewolves. Strange things start happening to Owen before he starts back at the school and mo

Very entertaining and a fast paced read. Completely worth the $1 for the ebook. The writing flowed very well and jumped from one action scene to the next. My favorite part was the word used for the bad guys, Witcheisters I thought it was very imaginative. Great story with very interesting characters and storyline.

I read this book on my PC because I don't own an ereader. Let me say, the idea of sitting at your computer reading a book did not really thrill me, but I was eager to read Hillserp with my friends on youtube this weekend.
Skip to now...after I've read the book.
This book rocked my socks off!!!! The book opens and you are immediately taken on a ride full throttle. I was so glued to my PC screen, I almost forgot I was reading an ebook file. The entire story was action packed f More...

Truly an awesome face-paced second book by Richard Denney! :D I had the opportunity to read Hillserpent Academy before the release date of June 14th. I'd first gotten a gander at the first few chapters in the serial that was released, but now that I have the completed book in my hands and I must say I want more. There are some scenes that incorporate fear, while others incorporate mystery and suspense. But like Denney's previous work "A Girl's Guide...", the little elements of comedy m

*3.5/5 Stars
Really surprising read! Definitely my favorite self-published book I've ever read! Since I enjoy watching Richard's YouTube videoes (mrricharddenney) and I love how much personality he puts into them, I loved being able to read certain passages and say, "Yeah! That DOES sound like something he would say!" I'll definitely read Spellbound (the sequel, and I believe final book) whenever that comes out (I think 2012, but it may be later).
