Book Review: Limo Bill the Undercover Assassin




Limo Bill the Undercover Assassin
Bill Ames (Author)


Book Review
By Michael Beas



Your next limo ride will never be the same again!

Author Bill Ames has crafted an amazing story that is entertaining, fun, exciting and jammed packed with action in a sexy provocative way that left me smiling and wanting more. Think Jason Borne / Jason Statham on overdrive with an original storyline and plot theme.

In short, this is a story about an assassin that dubs as a Limo Driver in Myrtle Beach.  Sex, Parties, Girls and Action are the forefront for this epic story. Having lived close by and visited Myrtle Beach the better part of my life I could only smile with the authors vivid descriptiveness, especially when describing the different landscapes and scenery of sandy Myrtle Beach. Yes the nightlife is pretty crazy sometimes.

What else can be said, other then this is a well-written book that is Captivating, Humorous and Thrilling in a unique memorable manner. I have become a new fan of Author Bill Ames and Limo Bill the Undercover Assassin.

5 Stars.

Book Review:The Porter's Wife




The Porter's Wife
Lisa Brown (Author)

Book Review
By Michael Beas


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.

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: The Elder Unearthed: Tales of NasNoroth and the Cult of the Elder




The Elder Unearthed: Tales of NasNoroth and the Cult of the Elder

Book Review
By Michael Beas





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!

5 Stars!

Book Review: Broken Sky




Broken Sky 
Saurav Dutt (Author)

Bookplex Review
By Michael Beas



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.

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.

Audio Book: History of St. Augustine Florida





History of St. Augustine Florida: Whimsically Illustrated History of North America's Oldest City
Written by: Jesse W. Love
Narrated by: Josh Engel
Length: 38 mins 

Audio Book
By Michael Beas



As a once Florida Native and a history buff I have always wanted to plan a road trip to St. Augustine with the family. I am planning on going back to Florida in May and St. Augustine will be one of the stops we have on the itinerary. Time is always limited these days with children and so on, as such I thought it might be best to look for an audio book the could I could listen too before visiting this magical place. I stumbled across the “History of St. Augustine Florida: Whimsically Illustrated History of North America's Oldest City,” by Author Jesse W. Love, and thought it would be a great way to learn more about this amazing historic destination.

The Audio Book was narrated beautifully, it was informative and well thought out as well as written. Total length is appx. 38 minutes and is filled with grand descriptiveness that took me on a historic adventure ride where I had the privilege of meeting fascinating characters the likes of which include: St. Augustine including Spaniards, French, English, Native Americans as well as many others.

Author Jesse W. Love has deffiniatly painted a vivid picture of what I consider to be the highlight of our trip. I am already imagining myself walking down the Spanish fort the Castillo San Marcos, that dates back to the 1600’s and retracing one of the oldest historical towns in America.

I cant wait for the trip to start and am so grateful for having the opportunity to listen to this fantasic desctiptive book that will help anyone who is interested in learning more about St. Augustine or like me, planning a trip.

Astounding job with this audio book. 5 Stars!

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.
