Crow Hollow - Book Review

Anachronistic American Colonization, November 1, 2015

Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Crow Hollow (Kindle Edition)

I enjoyed the slightly anachronistic look at the American colonization. It pulled me into the story after a handful of pages wondering just what the heck was going on. After I got into the swing of things though it all fell into place. The ending was never quite cast in stone until that last couple of pages though. It was not all that predictable to me anyway.

I really wondered near the end if they were supposed to cast Kevin Costner in this one. Hint hint. So a career diplomat/spy has to rescue a colonial woman to save his reputation and they fall in love along the way. Lust, whatever. It was nicely done, and only a few minor leaps in logic to make it all fall into place. Then you have to wonder about that career in the diplomatic corps?

If you like a historical romance that's not really heavy, this is a good choice.

Review: Intermittent Fasting Lifestyle

Intermittent Fasting Lifestyle: How To Be Healthy, Lose Weight, Burn Fat, Get Lean and Build Muscle Without Life Sucking by R.J Strife My rating: 4 of 5 stars If you're totally new, or just curious about Intermittent Fasting, this is a good 30,000' view. If you're vaguely familiar with IF, this shows a couple of optional protocols to follow. If you want in-depth info, this isn't the book, though author does touch on some concepts on long-term use. If you take some of these ideas and do some of your own research, you will quickly be able to make your own decisions. A handful of relatively minor editing errors. View all my reviews

Eternal Redemption - Review [#horror #fantasy]

Eternal Redemption by Paul A. Wunderlich My rating: 2 of 5 stars Rating this: under the little star at position 2nd from the left, there is a little balloon that pops up "It was OK" That's about it. In general, the tone and language seem like a fervent attempt to imitate high fantasy. There are a series of editing errors that cause some confusion. It's tough to write a protagonist who drifts in and out of their own head. Time slips around in circles. An entire world of minions is disposable. When you're sitting at the top of an Everest sized pile of skulls, what's the next big challenge? Oh, yeah, trick the master trickster. Well, you get exactly what you ask for. With a little syrup on the side. View all my reviews

Taste [book review - #vampire #dystopian #postapocalyptic]

Taste by D.S. Murphy My rating: 4 of 5 stars The story was fascinating. Dragged me right in. Vamps, hints of what might be shifters, rebels, villages essentially selling their 17 year old girls into a type of slavery, never to be seen again just to ensure they have enough food and access to their magic elixir of life. Sadly, it's a beta, a teaser, a potential promise of what might be in the first book in a series. It's quite short. I expected as much. I usually check the number of pages in the Amazon listing, and try to keep some shorts around to fill in between other books. As far as cliffhangers go - it ends with a bang. You're waiting for the very next sentence, and it's not there. Again, I went in with my eyes wide open. I loved it just the same. Why 4? It has a lot of little editing errors that are tough to overlook. Hopefully they'll be ironed out when the real book is released. View all my reviews
