Realm Protectors #1
Hellbound
"The Realms of Existence are under attack..."
In a city full of weirdos, Harold Storm thinks of himself as normal. He's young, kind of good-looking, and has a head full of failed aspirations. What isn't normal about that? At night, he drinks to drown his sorrows, but keeps a low profile to stay as unimportant and unnoticeable as possible.
That is until a dying Wizard gives Harold an odd key, and tells him he might be the most important being in all of Existence.
The key throws Storm into a supernatural war where Vampires, Wizards, and Satan's minions known as the Shadow Eaters will stop at nothing to get it back. But with the key comes great responsibility. And Harold will have to master its powers in order to survive.
He is a Realm Protector. He is the world's last hope. And now, he is a lot more important than he thought...

Needs work
Mild spoiler alert
Ok, I liked the power concept with the weapons and the protectors. They were fairly original and had a good spin to them. But the author needs to slow down and tell the story. This book should have been at least one hundred pages longer. Everything felt rushed. Build the characters up some and explain better than why the character's power suddenly grew. At the end in the car the main guy finds a way to control his powers in what took me less than 30 seconds to read. And it still didn't help much. And the final battle made as much sense as a dog humping a cat. Slow down and tell the story. We get he was in pain and that's pretty much all we got. You've got a good idea here now follow it up.

Insipid urban fantasy.
Free read so thought I'd try it on a boring day....made the day even more boring. A wimpy, whiny protagonist, thrust inexplicably into the role of protector of humankind from evil devilworld creatures, manages to survive and fumble his way to the nonconclusion of this book. He should have been killed every other page, always escaping death for no plausible reason. Other characters are one dimensional.

Could not get into main character
I started reading this book and wanted to put it down in the first ten pages or so. I then thought it HAD to get better. I was wrong. I staid with the book until around 75 percent before giving up. The main character has no redeeming qualities and is whiney as all get out. The book rem j ended me of leaving land Vegas.
