Alpha Max ... by Mark A. Rayner

Full Title: Alpha Max: An Existential Romp through an Absurd Multiverse by Mark A. Rayner 5 Stars Magnetically humorous!!! Rayner pens a wonderfully satiric and humorous story in Alpha Max: An Existential Romp through an Absurd Multiverse. I am a big fan of this author's writing. Satire and humor is not as easy as it sounds to put on paper. This author brings the story to life. First, I love the word "Absurd" in the title, and some areas are just that, absurd, but it is a wo

The Devil’s Road to Kathmandu by Tom Vater

4 Stars Interesting Road Trip Vader pens an interesting story in The Devil’s Road to Kathmandu. I haven't read work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. The characters were on a road trip, and it was not the trip they were planning. This author brings the story to life. The characters had a lot of depth and were very realistic. This author has a great imagination and I'm glad it's being shared with stories. Dan, Fred, Tim and Thierry are best friends, taking a ro

Fallen Star: The Divine Devils by R Weir

5 Stars Chaos and Mayhem, what a combo! Weir pens a dramatic and thrilling story in Fallen Star: The Divine Devils. I am a big fan of this author, and reads whatever he writes. The characters were raw, gritty, and very determined! This author brings the story to life. Hunter Divine needs to figure out how to help Megan Getz, a Hollywood celebrity.

Sip Lake by Joe Basara

5 Stars Magnificent read! Basara pens an intriguing and thrilling story in Sip Lake. I have read work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. Once again, we're here at Cypress Lake, and of course, it's not what it seems to be. The story is told from Owen's perspective, and not only is it interesting, and almost hard to believe (I said almost), it's a wonder, as he becomes entranced with the painting that is now his very own "coloring" book. This author has a great i

Miss: The Girl in Disguise by Z Jeffries

4 Stars A great sequel Jeffries pens a grand story in Miss: The Girl in Disguise. I have read work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. This is the second book in the Hide & Seek Chronicles. I read the first one, and it was a wonderful read, and I liked this one as well. Chase is a complex character, with a lot of depth. The story is in a world where people have to hide their true being, so, it's very, very realistic, even though is a YA fantasy. Chase and This a

Blood Queen by SM McCoy

5 Stars Magic, mystery and divinity! McCoy pens a magnificent story in Blood Queen. I am a big fan of this author! Whatever this author writes, I read. I love it when a Legacy author sends me more of their work! I read the two books in the Divine series and enjoyed them. This author brings the story to life. It's a magnetic vampiric story filled with monsters, demons and one heck of a Queen. Survival is key, and so they must release something that they're not sure is the rig

Hunt for the Troll by Mark Richardson

4 Stars Grand read Richardson pens an interesting, character-driven story in Hunt for the Troll. I haven't read work from this author before, and I enjoyed this story. This author brings the story to life. The characters had a lot of depth and were very mysterious and assorted. I know assorted characters sounds strange, but the characters, each had their own uniqueness that brought a lot to the story.

Forest Dawn by Michael Forester

5 Stars A grand read Forester pens a wonderful collection of essays, poetry and inspirational thoughts in Forest Dawn. I have read work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. I was impressed with this author's collection, and found the words came from the author's heart. The writing showed passion and an interesting perspective from this author. I found the one title, "Taking Refuge" caught my eye more than once. The words just emoted across the page in despair, "H

Life After: Zugzwang by Bryan Way

5 Stars You have no idea how happy I am ... Way pens another "Life After" story in Life After: Zugzwang. I read all of his Life After books, and many were read years ago. I am so happy that Way is gracing his audience with new Life After Stories. Here we go again, Jeff and his friends he meets along the way on his quest, still dodging zombies or the undead as they preferred to be called. Who doesn't love a grand story about the Undead, and the non-dead who are just trying to

When It's Winter by Karen A. Wyle

Illustrated by Barbara Dessi 5 Stars Wonderfully whimsical story Wyle pens a grand children's story in When It's Winter. It was fun to read, and very enjoyable. The illustrations were as amazing as the story itself, and even if a child didn't know how to read yet, the illustrations tell the story. It would be a great story to read to your child, and even as an adult, to bring you back to the time of making snow angels in the snow or sliding on the ice. I loved the last part o

Red's Soul by Sherif Guirguis & Isaac Michaan

4 Stars A grand sequel Guirguis & Michaan pen a fantastical story in Red's Soul. I read the first book in this series The Chronicles of Agartha and enjoyed it. The characters had a lot of depth and were very real. I read a lot of stories, and I love the different writing styles and storytelling abilities. These authors have a unique writing style, and though it is penned by two authors, it's interesting how there aren't distinctions between one author's writing and imaginati

Ashes and Blood by Katie Zaber

4 Stars A very mystical story Zaber pens a mystical story in Ashes and Blood. I haven't read anything from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. Enter a new realm, a new reality and the ability to morph. It's starts as a normal adventure for Megan and her friends, as they travel (basically through light). It's a grand read, and very interesting. I like how authors can create mystical and magical worlds or realms, a whole new reality. A very well-written story, and I en

Jestus by V.S. Sury

4 Stars Interestingly unique Sury pens a very interesting and intriguing story in Jestus. I have read anything from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. There was something very different about this fantastical story, and first, it was in first person. I know, not unique, but in this story, this makes it complex and unique because our main character has different aliases, and puts himself in different situations, where somehow, he makes it out the other end. It's a cr

Dawn of Luminance by Daniel McMillan

5 Stars Earth shattering survival of the fittest! McMillan pens a survival of humanity story in Dawn of Luminance. I have read work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. First, I love McMillan's writing style, it's very clean and precise, and brings the reader right into the story. The war between the Sylvans and the Ascended affects the beings' relationship with a crumbling world, and a world of death or survival. It's an exceptional book. This book is wonderfull

WATCH ME DIE: Last Words From Death Row by Bill Kimberlin

5 Stars What a way to get the "Inside" track! Bill Kimberlin, Psy.D, writes about "life" behind the walls of death row in WATCH ME DIE: Last Words From Death Row. I haven't read work from this author before, and this book really intrigued me. Kimberlin not only talked to the death row inmates, in Ohio, but sat down to eat with them, interviewed them, and even were some of the inmates last person to talk with the inmate before their death. It's not just about the inmates, them
