Astral Alignment Addendum

by Randall Sharpe

Supernatural horrors haunt the Earth as it approaches its apocalyptic collision with the astral plane in this ten-part anthology, the second installment in the Astral Alignment saga. In rural Montana, a teenage girl destined for greatness is hunted by a precognitive sasquatch, while her father confronts the ghosts of his past, in a quite literal sense of the term. Meanwhile, two best friends battle an army of lake monsters, fanatical cultists, and the sinister Delta Freya. Along the way, the pair befriend a self-proclaimed superhero, and a mysterious entity that offers one of them power at a terrible price. Elsewhere, a San Francisco vampire finds that her own kind may be less than desirable company, as her lawyer employs blackmail to force her into the local coven. This, on account of felony charges pressed by a seventh-dimensional guru, who later casts aside his physical form to seek wisdom in the swirling chaos of the aether. Then, as a consequence of his transcendent meddling, a certain legendary king reappears on the British Isles, just in time to thwart the plots of an alien sorceress. Finally, a rideshare driver has a chance encounter with a deranged alien abductee. After her plot to steal from the lunatic is realized, research into his ravings earns her fame as a renowned conspiracy theorist. So renowned that she winds up kidnapped by Delta Freya and held hostage on a submarine, where she is forced to lead a perilous expedition into the Earth's hidden underground world.

I won this book in a goodreads drawing.

A bunch of horror tales. Some were definitely better than others.

Disclaimer: I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I didn’t read the first book. I’m going to be honest that I had absolutely no idea what was going on. That is okay though. It sort of reminded me of Drive-In in terms of the complete chaos.

My issue was that I felt this could have been tighter and shorter. There were sections that felt repetitive and a lot of weird spacing and punctuation issues. I liked what I was reading, but it needed some extra polish.

That being said, the ideas and the writing here are overall good. I wish I could give partial stars because this was a 3.5 for me. Great dialogue and ridiculous scenarios are exactly what I hope for when I pick up a book.

I won the Kindle version of this book in a Goodreads giveaway. Since it was part 2, I bought part 1 because I didn't want to be lost, so I read that one first and I couldn't wait to read this one next. I even bought the rest of the Kindle books in the series. This is such an interesting science fiction story to read.

This book has 10 parts and approximately 10 chapters in each part with a story of different characters. They're like a mini story focusing on certain people. Some go back to certain people to continue their part in the story. Very interesting to read in this manner. I don't want to give anything away.

Anyway, it's so good and I can't wait to read the next book.

Good Book

This was a good book. It ended up not really being one of my favorite genres, but having said that it was still good. Lots of action. Pretty cool “monsters”. I believe there are more books which would explain the loose ends.
