Historical Fiction at its very finest!

Author Lisa Brown has done an astounding job with this fantastic tale that has captured my heart and imagination. While there are many words that can define this novel one in particular stands out amongst the rest: Gripping!

How can one write a review on such an amazing story that will engulf the mind and imagination well into the late night hours? In this story you will embark on a great number of adventures that will simply take your breath away. A voyage aboard a steamship across the Atlantic Ocean dating back to the early 1900’s is just one of the many treats that will sweep you away. Main Character, Sarah Berry was developed perfectly in an easy to relate, easy to follow manner that is multi-dimensional, not an easy task to accomplish as an Author.

While I have never been to Manchester, England I felt as if I was walking down the streets in the early 1900’s watching the flames of the dancing candles lick the glass off of the oil lamps hanging by the windows. The characters are bold and strong, the world Brown has created for the reader is extremely descriptive and places you in the heart of the story. The plot theme is original and unique.

Words to describe this book are: Emotional, Realistic, Inspiring, and Descriptive in a well-written manner. Wait I have more: Fear, Doubt, Sorrow, and Regret will enthrall this senses in an epic way that will have you thinking about this book well after you are done reading. If you are a fan of Ken Follett then you will love this “The Porter Wife.” What can I say other then I have become a fan of Author Lisa Brown and can’t wait to read more of her works.

5 Stars and wish there was more to pass out.

Book Review: The Rainy Day Man

The Rainy Day Man

Book Review

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00IWN7X4I/thkibo-20

Main Character Danny Simon takes center stage in this epic all out adventure ride that will have you clinging to the edge of your seat.

I purchased the “The Rainy Day Man” the other night and got through it the same day. It was gripping and filled with nonstop action the likes of which I have only seen in Daniel Silva novels. In short this is a story of an Israeli secret agent that’s main duty is to collect data. Seems easy enough but the journey is far from that as he is thirsted into a world of danger and espionage. There is no one he can trust and he is forced to come to grips with his own self in the process.

The ending made me grin, smile, and gasp for air in a memorable fashion that left me wanting more from Author Amnon Jackont. Simply brilliant and unique is a sweeping fashion.

5 Stars!

An astounding collection of short stories that will engulf your mind and imagination!

Three words that best describe “The Elder Unearthed: Tales of NasNoroth and the Cult of the Elder” are: Creepy, Dark and Gripping. Author Michael Garza has does a fantastic job in this book. All of the characters are developed smoothly, and in a sweeping fashion that will set that stage for on the edge suspense.

In short this is a collection of twelve pieces in total. Nine of these pieces are stories, with the other three brief poems. All of which are haunting in a memorable way that is well written and original. The best quality that I like about Author Michael Garza is his writing style is his descriptiveness and his use of words. Both are simply brilliant and captivating that enthrall the senses in a picturesque fashion that is not easy to match.

I highly recommend this book to all interested in sleeping with the lights on!

A multi-dimensional series fit to last the test of time.

Spades is book two of an amazing series that stands in a class all on its own. Author Kristy Evans does a fantastic job in this second book in the series that has managed to captivate my mind, heart and imagination in a sweeping fashion. From the very start of the book you will be engulfed in amazing fashion by way of vivid descriptiveness that can only be pulled off by a great Author. 

The storyline and plot theme are original and the main character Calise Thomas is developed in a superb fashion with depth and feeling. At times I found myself rooting for Calise while as others I found myself wondering what she was going to do next. The writing style is gripping and this is one of those books that will keep you glued to your reading device all throughout the night. No spoiler but the end is simply unpredictable and will make you want to go out and purchase the next book in the series. That is the next thing I am going to do as soon as I finish up with this review.

In short this is a well-written book in an astonishing series that flows perfectly. I have become a fan and highly recommend.

A visually rich story that will engulf the mind and imagination in a mesmerizing fashion fit to last the test of time.

This is definitely a lengthy book that took me all of three days to put down. With that said, it is also a page-turner that will keep you enthralled the entire time. All of the characters are developed lovely and are easy in my opinion to engage and relate to. I like the fact that the secondary characters are mentioned and play a role in the overall plot theme of the story without overpowering the main characters. Most books in this genre allow the secondary characters to take lead and thus cause the book to sound confusing, especially with a book of this size. That was not the case in this book. Author Saurav Dutt does a fantastic job of allowing the story to flow naturally and fitting in a way that is easy to read and understand, not an easy task to accomplish.

The stories deeper message of “what or how far would you go to help someone you love?” This in particular resonated with me personally having lost a father due to brain cancer and the truth is that a person will do almost anything to help / save the person they love. Words to describe this book are: Emotional, Inspirational, Suspenseful and Well- Written in a way that has captivated my heart and mind well after I was done reading.

5 Stars and can’t wait to read more from Author Saurav Dutt.

London takes center stage in this amazing story of classical proportion!

This novel has it all: Real Life Correlations, Action, Humor, Violence, Sex, Marriage and a whole lot more. Everything comes together in an all battle the combines on an epic scale to capture the mind and imagination. While this is a work of fiction, the author’s descriptiveness engulfed my curiosity more oft then not. I sometimes even found myself wondering if the Pumphouse Gang actually existed.

Pealing back the layers of this astounding book you find the deeper meaning Author Allen Jarvis is trying to convey. In short this is a story of how people fight to make a difference and change in their lives.

Definitely an amazing book you don’t want to miss. This novel is an epic read that will surly last the test of time. The storyline and plot are original, the story is fast paced, well-written and easy to read and I believe will be enthralling to all who pick it up.

First time author debut in an epic and sweeping fashion!

This book in my opinion is well written and highly addictive in nature. The storyline and plot kept me engaged the entire time engulfing my imagination and senses in memorizing fashion.

In short this book focuses on main character, Ray Ryan who is a young English boy that longs to become a writer. Things don’t work out as planned no thanks to a number of circumstances primarily being his friend who changes his destiny in a shocking and appalling manner. Along his journey he faces and deals with those tribulations in unique ways that makes his character stand out from the rest.

At times I found it a little complex to follow but then best sellers are not straightforward. It was friendly and engaged me in ways that found myself relating to the main character. I was sad when it came to an end and left me wanting more.  Overall it is definitely an original tale of fantastic quality that has earned 5 stars in my book.

IT'S HERE!!!!!!

The official cover to the first book in the Strump trilogy has been released. 

More Details coming soon.
