Book Review: Welcome to Deep Cove (Vellian Mysteries)




Welcome to Deep Cove (Vellian Mysteries)
Grant T. Reed (Author, Illustrator) 


Book Review
By Michael Beas

An amazing and captivating story of classic proportion!

This is one of those books that you simply will not be able to put down once you get started. I was completely enthralled with this original storyline and plot theme that swept me away to the tiny coastal town of Deep Cove. All of the characters are developed perfectly, my favorite being Garrett Willigins, who was made detective but is still trying to scrape two pennies together to make a living.

Words to describe this book are: Fun, Exciting, Thrilling, Suspenseful, Descriptive, and Captivating in an adventurous way that will leave you wanting more.

An extremely well writing tale that will have you going into work late the next day and leave you wanting more. I was saddened to see it come to and end and can assure you that it will engulf the imagination well after you are done reading.

5 Stars

The Diabolical Doctor: A Steele Russell Thriller [Kindle Edition]

Book Review
By Michael Beas





Book one of a two part story is a medical thriller that will have you clinging to the edge of your seat.

Part 1 will simply take you away in a suspenseful manner, and while there are many words to describe “The Diabolical Doctor: A Steele Russell Thriller,” by Author Robert Carlson, only one truly gives it justice: Gripping!

A lethal web of diabolical characters sets the stage for an all out rush to the end. From the very get go you will be enthralled with twist, and turns that will leave you breathless and have you sleeping with the lights on. Stem Cell Research has never seemed this dangerous.

Author Robert Carlson is the master of trepidation and his books are chilling in an astounding manner. This is a well written story with an original plot theme that surly will last the test of time.

5 Stars and cant wait to read more! Can't wait to go out and purchase the next.

Book Review: Spades (Book Two)




Spades (Book Two)
Kristy Evans (Author)

Book Review
By Michael Beas


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.

Book Review: RomperSuit





RomperSuit
Allen Jarvis (Author)

Book Review
By Michael Beas



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.

Time Killer 

Todd M. Thiede (Author)

Book Review
By Michael Beas


A gripping thrill ride that will keep your eyes glued to your reading device.

This amazing storyline takes off from the very beginning and does not stop until the very end. Author Todd M. Thiede in his novel “Time Killer,” presents an original plot that will keep you on edge the entire time.

The story starts off with Stephen waking up alongside his wife only to be surprised that they are both bound and gagged. If that is not enough to get your attention try adding the fact that the masked killer is in the room and waiting to do his dirty work. Stephen’s wife is butchered and two policemen begin what would be a long investigation of not just this killing, but many more that begin to occur.

Words that best describe this book are: Thrilling, Mysterious, Suspenseful, Original, Gripping and Captivating in all the right ways. 

Highly recommended and cant wait to read more from Author Todd M. Thiede.

5 Stars!

Book Review: Drowning Mermaids




Drowning Mermaids
Nadia Scrieva (Author)

Book Review
By Michael Beas


Drowning Mermaids is simply amazing.

This novel has it all: Action, Adventure, Romance, Fantasy and even Humor.

I am huge a Fantasy buff and as such the world that Author Nadia Scrieva created captivated my senses and imagination. In many ways I found this book to be a cross between “The Deadliest Catch” and the “Little Mermaid.” It has the makings of a movie that I envisioned in my head as the pages turned effortlessly.

The main characters Trevain, Aazuria, and Callder are original, they are developed exceptionally well and their personalities are easy to relate with. The storyline is grand and epic and the plot and over all themes will keep you on edge the whole time. I was sad to see it come to an end and can not wait to read more

It took me two-nights to read this story to completion. After reading, I recommended it to everyone in my family. They too have found it to be an amazing novel of classic proportion.

What else can be said? I am addicted to Drowning Mermaids, and I highly recommend it to everyone. 5 Stars and wish there were more stars to pass out.

Book Reviews: Armageddon and the 4th Timeline





Armageddon and the 4th Timeline: A Spiritual Odyssey Through Time & Eternity
By Don Mardak (Author)

Book Review
By Michael Beas


Time Travel, War and the Supernatural all collide in an astounding fashion that will sweep you away.

From the very get go this story will engage you on an all out thrill ride that will stand the test of time. It might come as a shock to most but this “end of world,” tale does not involve Zombie’s or Aliens from another plant.

That is much a relief in my view!

There’s nothing wrong with Zombie’s or Aliens, it’s just that our Planet Earth needs to find a new way to come to a ghastly end. The good news is that Author Don Mardak has found the way in this epic non-stop action thrill ride that is both original, and simply mind-blowing. It will literally take your breath away and keep your eyes glued to your reading device way into the late night hours.

In short it took me a total of three days to finish “Armageddon and the 4th Timeline: A Spiritual Odyssey Through Time & Eternity.” The characters and storyline develop with skill and class of a season veteran. This is one you don’t want to miss and without a doubt is a Must Buy.

5 Stars and can’t wait to read more.

5 for 5 Star Amazon Review! Strump A World of Shadows






5.0 out of 5 stars
 Strump will be hard to top March 14, 2014
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I was merely five pages in when I put Strump down to collect myself. So I pulled my hair back and got a cup of coffee before I began again; this was some serious fantasy and I intended to be all there for it.

The world inside Strump is enchanting. And I mean every corner of it; from the names of characters, places, things, to the description and dialogue. This author has an incredible imagination and the mad skills to transport his readers into a land divided in two. I should have waited to write this review because at the moment I’m tongue-tied with adjectives. All I want to do is put everything in caps and end it with exclamation points. I don’t often gush, but that’s all I seem to want to do.

At its heart of heart, this is a story of two brothers who both want the keys to their father’s kingdom. One is nefarious, the other virtuous, both powerful. By birthright, yes, but also because of the allegiances they form. And this is just the main vein. So many subplots and delightful characters abound.

I agree wholeheartedly with the previous reviewer who said this is a great bedtime story. I thought the same thing! Like, somebody cue Fred Savage and tell him to climb under the covers because Grandpa’s got a real doozy for him this time around.

Definitely the best fantasy I’ve read in a long, long time. I loved it.
