Mikel Wilson Jr.- A Fallen Kingdom

Genre: Fantasy/Vampiric 3 Stars Good story A Fallen Kingdom by Mikel Wilson Jr. is a good fantasy story. It also has a bit of supernatural in it, as a knight meets a vampire, and sparks fly. There are a lot of ups and downs, especially on both sides, when their connection to each other is practically forbidden. As his castle crumbles, so does the kingdom. I've read work by Wilson before, and I enjoyed it. This is an interesting tale, and it comes down to love or loyalty. This

William J. Craig- All Along the Watchtower: Murder at Fort Devens

Genre: True Crime/Murder 3 Stars Interestingly written True Crime Tale Craig writes about the Murder at Fort Devens in All Along the Watchtower: Murder at Fort Devens. I am a fan of true crime stories. This is the first book written by this author that I've read. The story of Elaine Tyree, a soldier at Fort Devens and how her husband hired another Green Beret, to kill her. This book was written very well. It's a good book, and it tells the story of a murdered woman. There are

P.L. McMillan- Echoes in the Dark

Genre: Horror 3 Stars Four unsettling stories! What an interesting collection of horror stories in Echoes in the Dark by P.L. McMillan. There are four stories in this collection, Family Roots, Unseen Cost, Affirmations, and Warm. I read each one, and they were pretty good. I don't know if I would call them all horror, maybe some paranormal or witchy. Each one was interesting and written pretty well. I actually liked the story, Warm, the shortest one in the book. Echoes in the

D.S. Pais - How to identify my greatest passion in life

Genre: Self Help 3 Stars An interesting approach What an interesting title in How to identify my greatest passion in life by D.S. Pais. I have read work from this author before, and she writes in different genres. This book gives steps about how to identify what someone's passion is, and how to achieve it. It's a step by step, and I'm sure this is a process that this author used. One thing, though, chapter two, seems to be common sense. It's called "List down our interests an

D.S. Pais - Tiene

3 Stars Good read. What a good story in Tiene by D.S. Pais. This author writes different genres, and the books are always interesting. In this novella, Tiene is a superhero. It's the job of Tiene to fight a monster who attacked a kingdom. The story is pretty much well put together, and there are enough details to get the story. To be honest, when I first saw the title, I thought it had a Spanish meaning, but tiene in Spanish just means "have." So, I like the character having

Jeff Debing - Killing the Reapers

3 Stars Interesting world building What an interesting story in Killing the Reapers by Jeff Debing. I haven't read work from this author before, and I enjoyed this story. At first, and sometimes during the story, I feel like there should be a prequel or something. Anyway, I did like characters and wish I had known just a bit more about them. I read a lot of stories, and I love the different writing styles and story telling abilities. Debing can tell stories. This story was ve

Flashback Fridays Hollow by Charles Marleau

3 Stars A good read Hollow had a mix of religion and magic, and both were the center of the story. There was an interesting character building and growth within the story. It was a really good read, and the author was able to focus on the story, bringing the reader in. The characters had depth, and chemistry, and they were likeable. It's a good story, and flowed well. I look forward to more stories from this new author. #3Stars #Marleau #ABSR #Flashback

Flashback Fridays Lost in Tanganyika by Thomas Thorpe

3 Stars Great Premise It was an interesting book with a great premise. The story unfolds on an African adventure, filled with culture as well as slavery. Husband and wife, William and Elizabeth undergo a dramatic journey. It was a good story and well written, but there could have been more emotions and chemistry between William and Elizabeth, as well as feelings that coincided with the fight against slavery and slavers. #3Stars #Thorpe #ABSR #flashback

Perfect by Savannah Kade

3 Stars Sweet story Kade pens a sweet story in Perfect. I haven't read work from this author before, and I did like this story. I liked the premise of the story, and of course, the main character, Baily Ann, is someone to get used to. I wasn't sure if I liked her, but then I realized that could be a good thing. I understand the wanting to be perfect, but no one is. The premise of the story was intriguing, as two high-school sweethearts, now grown have reconnected. There is a

Fate Looked Back by Vera Schneider and Bevin Smith

Full Title: Missunderstanding- Fate Looked Back by Vera Schneider and Bevin Smith 3 Stars Interesting read Missunderstanding- Fate Looked Back is an story. I haven't read anything from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. I say an interesting read, because one, this volume is labeled .5 which probably means the prequel to whatever stories come next, and two, it felt like a backstory to Yuta and Kenta. It's an erotic story but also emotional, especially for Kenta, who

Memoirs of a 20th Century Gentleman by James B. Hansom

3 Stars Good and interesting Read. Hansom pens a unique memoir in Memoirs of a 20th Century Gentleman. I haven't read anything from this author before. Hansom writes about his life, and calls it innocence, part I. He expresses his experiences very well, and in some places, there may be a bit too much information or detail, while waiting to get back to the original story. I like his mind and how it brings him into different places, and down different paths of life, learning le

The Lost Son by Aidan Lucid

3 Stars A good read Lucid pens a good story in The Lost Son. I haven't read work from this author before, and I did like it. The idea of the story was intriguing, and it was a fast-paced story, which is good but there are places it could have slowed down, and there are places in the story where there is too much detail, and didn't add to the plot. I thought the concept was great, and very interesting. I do read a lot of stories, and this was a good read. It fit within the gen

Matters of the Heart by D.S. Pais

3 Stars Interesting romance Pais pens a good romantic story in Matters of the Heart. I have read work from this author before, and I did like it. The characters were sweet and a little dynamic. I personally didn't feel the chemistry between Kate and anyone, but the story is a good read. Kate is looking for something new, and her new job may just land her in the right direction. Kate has a good backstory, and is looking forward. It's a read that is different from Pais's other

Lady Killer by Jeff Richards

3 Stars Interesting plot Richards pens a unique story in Lady Killer. I haven't read anything from this author before, and I liked this story. Mitch considers himself one of the world's greatest lovers, and here he is, divorced with two children. There is a lot of tension and characters within Mitch's world. It's a novella, and is one of those chilling stories that have creepy characters, stalker-ish characters, and some that just have those underlying secrets. The story got

The First I Do by Sarah N. Ham

3 Stars Interesting Read Ham pens an interesting, but improbable story in The First I Do. I haven't read anything from this author before, and I did find the story a bit cute and interesting. The premise was interesting, as there are such things as prearranged marriages, but I don't think this quite fit that premise. The characters were teens and though it is tailored to the young adult, there were parts (swearing) that were bleeped out, as if the book or language was censore

The Black and White House by Robert James Bridge

There is chemistry between the characters, and makes them feel realistic and flawed. It's a good thriller, and it also has a historical view. The story was interesting, and worth reading the entire story. The title drew me in, but the story made me stay. This story was intriguing and kept the reader guessing. I look f

Collateral Damage by Miski Harris

3 Stars Good story Harris pens a good story in Collateral Damage. I have read work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. The characters, Ron and Jordon, were interesting and intriguing, especially when the backstory isn't told all at once. The author's writing style works for this type of story. It was a good read, a few small things felt like the Ron and Jordon were not compatible, but the story ended up working for them. Angst and intimacy fit the story genre, a

The Sinister Urge by Frances Newton

3 Stars Interesting read Newton pens a very taboo story in The Sinister Urge. This is the first work of this author's that I've read. The characters were both disturbing, and connected in more ways than one. There were good qualities in this story, but there were also some things that make this "Hidden" romance a definite taboo. Maybe even more than just taboo, unacceptable in many societies. However, it is an interesting story, and a very unique one at that. I haven't ever r

The METHOD: A Self Help Guide by D.S. Pais

3 Stars Good Read Pais writes different genres of books, and The METHOD: A Self Help Guide is a self-help book. It was written with what the author calls "The Method" which the author gives "12" rules for living. It's an interesting read, and sounds like it is written from experience. The rules make sense, depending on an individual's life, and journey into the future. It's a good and interesting read. This book is recommended by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. #3Stars #Pais
