Darkness Brutal (The Dark Cycle Book 1) -- Book Review

Recommend Darkness, November 1, 2015

Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Darkness Brutal (The Dark Cycle Book 1) (Kindle Edition)

I can hardly wait to get into the next book. It was really good for the most part. Some annoying moments with the whole Babylonian magician thing made me really distrust some of the characters. The frantic "protect sis at any cost" thread that wove the whole thing together was a setup for disaster from the start.

That being said though, it's an urban fantasy, so expect some darkness. I do highly recommend it.

on AMAZON

I did want to like it a lot more than I did like it. I do want to read the next book. A kid and "baby sis" with a magic secret or two gets hooked up with a group of misfit magic users led by a self-proclaimed mysterious magician displaced in time travel to defeat the evil wizard and save the time space continuum. Or something like that.

That being said, if you can get it for < $1 it's way worth it, and it's a good commuter read.

Review: The 10 Biggest #Workout Mistakes

The 10 Biggest Workout Mistakes: Are one of these mistakes slowing your progress? by Dr. Len Lopez My rating: 3 of 5 stars So/So. Average. 3. yep. If you took a handful of bullet points, wrapped them in repetitive catch-phrases, and added in some links to your other projects, you'd have this book. Would it be at all helpful to anyone? Yes, if you are needing to do actual aerobic exercise and need to be smacked in the face with it over and over and over until it works finally - this might be the book that does that. If you're trying to get in shape or achieve some specific level of fitness, then no. View all my reviews

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
