Reviews for Arrow of Time Chronicles, Book 2: Inevitable

Top Reviews: 5 Stars! As usual, Karen Wiesner draws her readers right in and doesn't let go. I have no idea how she always manages to handle a complex plot and such a huge cast of characters. It's totally jaw-dropping! I love the way the characters develop. All the descriptions are vivid, the interactions between the human and alien cultures are fascinating. This would make an amazing TV series because it has the right mix of suspense, romance and…

Fall of the House of Ramesses, Book 1: Merenptah covers

Reviews for Fall of the House of Ramesses, Book 1: Merenptah by Max Overton

Amazon Reviews 4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth a read After a rather slow start, the book got better and better. I will definitely look out for the next in the series. Problems with the copy-editing prevent me giving 5 stars. There were random question marks in little boxes scattered throughout the ebook text, which I found distracting. Also felt it got a little bogged down when the same event was told from different character's viewpoints. This…

Reviews for Sterling Lakes Series, Book 1: Light of the Heart by Regina Andrews

Amazon Reviews 5.0 out of 5 stars An Awesome Romance! I enjoyed reading Regina Andrews' outstanding debut novel, Light of the Heart, in her Sterling Lakes Series about the talented stained glass artist Cascade Preston and project manager Dan McQuay. Andrews has created wonderful characters and a lively, interesting plot in Book One. Cascade's unhappy childhood gave her a strong reason for not wanting to return to Sterling Lakes to design and make stained glass windows for St. Luke's…

Reviews for The Show Photographer by Peter Woodruff

Amazon Reviews 5.0 out of 5 stars Mark one up for the good guys! This is a very fast moving, plot twisting, edge of the seat sort of read. Woodruff skillfully leads the reader through a chilling and ever-so-real crime story scripted in a contemporary setting of America's northern heartland. The characterizations, the situations, the author's style, all casually center the reader amidst masterfully foreshadowed and dangerously developing circumstances. Though a rich palette of schemes and themes brilliantly…

Reviews for Prynne’s Island by Claralice Hanna Wolf

Top Reviews 5.0 out of 5 stars The truth told gently I highly recommend this beautifully written book. The language is entrancing, not least because the author has captured well the music of Isaiah and Zephaniah in her words of prophecy in the story. It is an allegory of the hopes and dreams of many of us, but also about the fallen nature of humanity. I don't think it is a spoiler to say that it ends with disaster…

Reviews for Dangerous Waters Trilogy, Book 2: Ghost of a Chance by Dee Lloyd

Top Reviews I give this novel ****1/2 out of five stars. A funny thing happened to me while I was reading Ghost of a Chance by Dee Lloyd. You see, I don't read romance novels--it's not that I don't respect them, and it's not that I don't know that it has been, and remains, one of the most popular fiction genres out there--it's just that I never got around to reading one. What I know of romance came pretty…
