Book of Death – S. EvanTownsend

S. Townsend has done it again. Bringing you an action packed book that will not disappoint. You may already know who the villain is but it won’t stop you from wanting to read on and find out what trouble our agent gets himself into this time. Also how can he get out safe? With a mix of magic, military and the famous blood thirsty vampire on his tale you will be on your seat edge through each eager page flip. What better way to spend your afternoon then watching a true action film in your head? (no this is not a movie though it probably should be).









One Eyed Jack –Christopher Lynch
 
Make sure you have a full afternoon to enjoy this read because you won’t put it down once you open it. One Eyed Jack is one of those stories where you end up pulling for the villain. Intense and gripping book that pulls you in more and more as you flip each page with great descriptions and very realistic and well-rounded characters that don’t let you go. A perfect book for any reader fan and even a good choice to convert people into reader fans.






Children of the Enemy– D. J. Swykert
 
*WARNING: NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN UNDER 16 OR WEAK OF STOMACH OR HEART. USES FOUL LAUNGAUGE, DESCRIPTIVE ABUSE, AND DEALS WITH DRUGS*
This is a down right in the dirty world gritty tale. I almost had to stop reading it myself because it was just so descriptive I didn’t want to know this stuff was still around. But it is and I finished the book just to find out how it all ended. There are no veils to protect your mind from what it is about to read and not hidden truths. Everything is in black and white and thrown in your face for you to take notice. Parts are even bone chilling to know what people live with and through. And some don’t live through. From the first page you are sucked into the world of Drugs, Abuse, Bad Choices and revenge.







Of time and Place –B. R. Freemont
 
A real question on life and the real consequences from your actions. As you slowly read through this story (And yes I did have to read through it slowly to understand and because parts of it were very drawn out for me) you start seeing firsthand how one choice can make another person’s options change. And how you are pulled more and more into choices and decisions and how each outcome could or could not happen. Even if we think we know how it will go it doesn’t always do that. This book takes some time to really warm up and get into it but if you have a rainy day with a few free hours plop down in your favorite big cozy chair with some coffee or hot coco and dive into this book. You probably won’t look at your own choices the same again.






Don’t call me Angel -Alicia Wright Brewster
 
Novella’s take a skill to write. They give you more insight then short stories but also are cut short of novels giving you less time to really connect with the characters in the tale. I find this to be great story but rushed to fit so much into a small space. Six is strong and I would have loved to know more about her. But as it stood I felt she wasn’t developed enough and made it hard to connect to her on any level. I found the relationships to be unclear. Ultimately the story is good and descriptive but to short. I would have much preferred reading a longer story that let me connect and understand the characters more. I will be looking for more from Alicia in the future though as I find her writing style is wonderful. I just want more of it.








Wild Princess – Mary HartParry
 
I understand we have to change things. I understand that a story is more enjoyable to more people if we fudge some of the facts. But to just throw out common known facts about the life of the family you want to portray is disrespectful in my mind. I don’t know if they needed the facts to be different because of some random reason or if they didn’t do research or if they were looked over in editing. But I can’t give a book a high review when they take the story they are telling about real people and just make it up. Even though they do disclose that the story is a work of fiction in the beginning. I was hoping for a bit more truth behind the characters.





Queen Morgana and theRenfairies – Teel James Glenn
 
This book has it all. This was the first of Teel James Glenn’s books I have read but it will not be the last one by a long shot. As you read through the comedy, love, hate, passion, and adventure you will find yourself with a mix of emotions that will just keep you reading on. The characters are very well detailed and alluring you into their lives as they float through the story with ease. All around a great book and one that I’m sure it will have you hooked as a Teel James Glenn fan. It hooked me.







Dark Inspiration – RussellJames
 
Trouble really does seem to prefer some people over others. And this book proves it. After a new move for a fresh start things just turn the opposite direction and become even worse. Keeping me on the edge of my seat from page to page I couldn’t put the book down. I think nightmares could come from part of the sections of this book. As dark forces are at work and creepy sounds with unknown origins are heard you get to follow along as secretes are unturned and the truth is slowly unveiled. You will find yourself so caught up in the book you could experience goose bumps, random acts of jumping in your seat, and the possible even shriek of surprise. The ending will blow your mind and then you’ll just want to reread the whole book and lose yourself again.  






Forged in Flame –Anthology by Xchyler Publishing
 
Was a bit iffy I’d enjoy this as much as I did because I am not into the steam punk style. I honestly just think it is a bit weird to me. However, this book was right on the mark for me. I loved the different stories and styles. The tales and adventures. I am so glad I gave it a shot. Dragons are mystical creatures and these stories are no different. They pull you in from the first words and don’t let go till you’ve read it all. Each story offering its own unique adventure that leaves you wanting more even after the story is done. Just to jump into the next story and have it happen all over again. Looking forward to more Anthologies and books from these authors.


 

Forest of Shadows –Hunter Shea
 
A book that keeps me giddy and on my toes from the start to the end has me sold. Hunter does this. After reading what the book was about and looking at the cover the book was practically calling me to read it. So I obeyed. I was caught up in the web of characters pretty quickly and found myself peeking into what I thought their fates would hold and to have something change causing my theory to leave and be replaced over again. As his stew of clues, people, personalities, and bump in the night noises started to boil I felt myself want to jump in the pages and be part of the story. When the last page was turned I couldn’t help but want to read more. Hunter Shea is a new collection on my bookshelf and I think he should be on everyone else’s too.






Life is a balance -Philip Nork
 
Real. That is what you get when you read Life is a balance. (Or its earlier counterpart Misguided Sensitivity.) We have all been there and done that. Tried to fit into a new lifestyle, tried to find our path to the future, and tried to find and collect friendships and relationships on the journey. As we flip from page to page we are guided through Phil’s journey. He holds nothing back and unveils all leaving nothing protected. It isn’t thrown in your face but it is brought to the surface of the constant struggles and decisions we are faced with as we grow.
