Flash review of Granny Irene’s Guide to the Afterlife – Revenge Part 1 by Ingrid Hall – Review by JUNE STARRS
Morning everyone
Well, I am feeling INCREDIBLY excited by these all new FLASH REVIEWS. I have had a really positive response from people offering to take me up on my invitation of reading and reviewing. In case you missed my earlier post flash reviews are reviews of the first 1000-2000 words of an indie author’s work. The aim is this is to promote the author as widely as possible and hopefully help them generate more sales. You can find out more by reading my original article… Interested? Contact me either using the contact form on this site or by emailing Ingrid@grannyirene.com Please show your support by SHARING these reviews…
I have two flash reviews to post today and I will post them both individually first up is GRANNY IRENE’S GUIDE TO THE AFTERLIFE - REVENGE PART 1 BY INGRID HALL AND FLASH REVIEWED BY JUNE STARRS
Irene’s book cover looks mystical and lures the reader to open the book.
Ingrid informs the reader at the start that this is not written in a conventional style or the Queen`s English. I agree upon reading this but why not try reading another writing style? I was glad I did.
I agree with Ingrid, this extract (the book too I should imagine) may challenge any personal beliefs or opinions you may have on the afterlife. It certainly made me think about the existence of and afterlife.
This is written in the first person by Granny Irene, speaking from the afterlife.
Irene`s opening question grabs you straight in there, I wanted to read on, “The dead can dream, can`t they?”
The extract I read is weaved with menacing tones hooking the reader deeper. Why is Irene`s Grand-daughter Chloe stood vacant looking, at the side of a busy motorway? What is Chloe nurturing in the backpack? Who is the driver of the white van? There are several cleverly written menacing tones keeping me wanting to know what has happened and what will follow?
Granny Irene watches Chloe. She tries to communicate with her. Can she?
As the events unfold a shiver runs down my spine as I watch the picture before my eyes. Granny Irene desperately tries to communicate with her grand-daughter.
The extract I read ends on a cliff hanger. Granny Irene`s dream “cuts out” too.
Intrigued? I am.
