Reviews

[Rox Burkey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Author S.K. Ballinger provides an in-depth character development of Kain Edward. Kain faces trials and tribulations, suffering huge losses of family and survivor’s guilt. His belief in mythological beings existing among humans drives his education and lands him a journalist position.

Kain, supported by friends in times of need, distances himself from those who do not share his beliefs. He needs to prove his werewolves, vampires, and other such creatures exist. His journalist position allows him to travel and continue his extensive documented research. After each step, his conviction dictates that he will expose these beings with only a bit more effort.

The audible quality was good. The narration style of Richard Yzaguirre left out some of the passion I would have expected injected into the listening experience. The voice intonations were inconsistent as characters returned in the story. I found this a good novella for those interested in learning details of the characters from the larger Swanson Series. Fans of mythology will enjoy this story and learning character details. In addition, this cover though busy is mesmerizing.

Ahhh, Kain Edward. A man who believed that there were more than just the human living on this earth. He went through hell and high water to find such all while finding not a damn bit of proof. While being mocked he continued to follow his dream and searched what he believed to be true. Does he find proof or is it another scam?

This book is another of the series by S.k. Ballinger and I love how each characters short story helps to unfold the main. I loved how we are taken through all of the events leading up to the initial meeting and I love the spin of calls.
