One of this author's most prominent talents is the development of his characters. They are fully formed people in every aspect and that is reflected his books. This time he outdid himself. The main character, Piter has a many faceted personality and his second, Gwendolyn – well, let's just say I know who she is … Continue reading Blue Sail (The Iron Age of Piracy Book One) by Aaron S Gallagher
Adventure
The Adventures of Brett and Molly By Jeffrey Warren
I enjoyed the first book in this series and looked forward to catching up again with Brett & Molly. This book starts two years later in 1961 as Brett and Molly are finishing high school and preparing for their wedding and start at the university. As they set out with friends on another sailing adventure … Continue reading The Adventures of Brett and Molly By Jeffrey Warren
The Coin by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra
As the Indie Author’s market is developing, I am seeing more and more books that appear just as professional as those coming out of the traditional publishing market. However most of the time the Indies have a better story and this is a perfect example of that. In the theme of great mystery authors, like … Continue reading The Coin by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra
Michael McGillicuddy and the Most Amazing Race by Trevor A. Dutcher
Need a book that you can curl up with and forget about the rest of the world – this may be it. My reading for an hour on Sunday afternoon turned into several hours because I just had to know what was going to happen. This book is filled with adventure, interesting characters, challenges, and … Continue reading Michael McGillicuddy and the Most Amazing Race by Trevor A. Dutcher
The Betrayal of Ka (Transprophetics #1) by Shea R. Oliver
This is not a light Sci-Fi book in all the good ways. As I read this I had the feeling that I was reading through a trilogy – there is that much contained in these 267 pages. Ka and his other characters took me back to when Sci-Fi was darker and more intense than a … Continue reading The Betrayal of Ka (Transprophetics #1) by Shea R. Oliver
Saving Thandi (Adventures of Jabu & Friends) Book 2 by Kate S Richards
I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this middle school adventure and could not wait to see where Jabu would lead us next. A nice surprise was the return of the character Ice, who added a lot more depth to the attitude of the other characters. This is a series that I have now recommended … Continue reading Saving Thandi (Adventures of Jabu & Friends) Book 2 by Kate S Richards
Rise of Villains (The Anuk Chronicles Book 2) by Abdur R. Mohammed
While this is the second book in this series, it does well as a stand-alone. This is an intense read with a lot going on, so bring your A-Game reading skills. There is a jump back in time about a third of the way into the book that gave some great information and clarified a … Continue reading Rise of Villains (The Anuk Chronicles Book 2) by Abdur R. Mohammed
High White Sun by J. Todd Scott
This federal agent turned author impressed me with his first book and this, his second was the same level of intense prose and consuming read. The book picks up shortly after the first, The Far Empty, ended. However, I do think there are enough tie backs that you could read it as a separate book … Continue reading High White Sun by J. Todd Scott
The Last Titan by Craig Wainwright
I get asked, a lot, why I read Indie Authors when there are so many “proven” authors and best sellers out there. This book is one of the main reasons. The book was laid out and presented in a way that shows the time and effort this author dedicated into creating his book. He also … Continue reading The Last Titan by Craig Wainwright
Our Bloody Pearl by D. N. Bryan
This YA book, like its characters, is a unique mix of several genres. There is a bit of steampunk, adventure, budding romance, sirens, family relationships, and gender identification. I have been spending some time with the young teens in my life, while I was reading this and their responses to certain subplots have been amusing. … Continue reading Our Bloody Pearl by D. N. Bryan
