Cruisin through books ’cause books make life worth livin’ with Aly #RileyAmosReviews, 4/26/2015 part 3
Beyond the Ashes by H.L. Baker
This book was a bit slow for me. It seemed a little wordy for me in places but I liked the idea of the book. The story did keep me guessing once it got moving better and I enjoyed trying to figure out what will happen next. I was not very scared, I have watched worse movies that never scare me. I would read something from this author again because I always like to read a few things from one author before I decide to keep reading their books or not and this is the first thing I read by H.L. Baker. * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review* 3/5

Mary Hades: Beginnings by Sarah Dalton
This was a set I enjoyed. I love a good mystery and this book gave me this. I enjoyed the authors introduction in to each character. Sarah gave us good details! This book kept me on the edge of my seat and I would be happy to read the next book. *I received this set from the author through a LibraryThing giveaway in exchange for an honest review* 4/5

I, myself, do not follow the government issues very much. I found this book to be a captivating account of the events that created the Board and also the effectiveness of the Board in trying to save Jewish lives. The author allows the reader to come to their own conclusions and gives a detailed and well-researched account of the WRB. We do not learn from our mistakes. You are interested in WWII or in history in general you should check out this book. I am not big into history and this book caught my attention and kept me wanting to read more. * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*
4/5

Dear Killer by-Katherine Ewell
This book is a different way to look at serial killers for sure. I was shocked that the killer is a young girl but it is a family business. I was not as captured as I wanted to be by this book. I liked the story but I wanted something more from this author in this book. It was a very different point of view on a serial killer story from anything else I have read. The way the killer picked her victims was very unique as well. It you like books about serial killers you should give this one a try. 3/5

#SupportIndieAuthors, amending to support small press authors, too edition!
Let me give a warm introduction to Michael Schutz-Ryan.
My novel, Blood Vengeance, was release just under a month ago. Thank you in advance!
Blurb: A dead serial killer and his slain prey haunt the shabby San Francisco apartment where they died. When Brennan Cooper moves in upstairs, he fights to free the souls of the victims, trapped for all these years with their murderer.
Bio: Michael Schutz-Ryan was born and raised in the frozen tundra of Wisconsin. A lifelong diet of Ray Bradbury and Stephen King whet his appetite for the macabre. A lover of all things horror, he plumbs the depths of Netflix in search of scary movies. He lives in northern California with his husband and the enduring spirit of their cat, Catie.
1. What do you do to keep your spirits up through a bad review?
There’s no use dwelling on bad reviews. I have to forge ahead and keep writing. If the criticism is warranted, I can use that to make my work better.
2. What has been your greatest inspiration for writing your story?
The books I read are my inspiration: Stephen King, Peter Straub, and John Sandford are my current favorites. But at the beginning there was Ray Bradbury. Reading his gorgeous language, reveling in his singular imagery, made me want to create.
3. Are there any people you feel need a shout out for supporting you?
My mom and dad bought me my first typewriter…and my second when I wore out that first one! And it was my dad who introduced me to the magical world of used book stores. Without them, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
4. Has self-publishing taught you any lessons that you feel will help you in life?
Working with a small press is a hands-on experience. I used to think that when the writing was finished, my job ended. Not so true. Writing, like life, is a constant challenge. The rewards of both will only come if I continue to move forward.
and last, What’s your favorite color?
My favorite color is yellow, though I’m sympathetic toward orange. Is orange anyone’s favorite color?

#RileyAmosReviews, Sara dropping another one edition!
by Christina McMullen
Usually I pass up books of this genre, but my interest wad piqued when my man told me how much he enjoyed reading this book and the new spins on zombies. Outbreak wasn’t initiated by normal paths, but rather by an artificially created substance, dispersed over a very wide area. Multiple outbreak zones, zombie animals, mass evacuations, are just some of the elements that Going Green has. There’s multiple reasons this book was a delight, especially with the epilogue and the wide varying points of characters. There’s so much more I’d like to say, but don’t want to give away more of this story. Five stars out of five!
