Book Review: The Siren Chronicles - Book 1 By Douglas J. Sloan

The Siren Chronicles - Book 1 By Douglas J. Sloan

Imagine being ordered away as you see someone devouring your parents. Or, walking along the beach and finding someone practically on death’s door, covered in seaweed. Or, waking up in a frat house with people staring at and pawing on you. Or, crying in a cave.

Imagine a whole lot more than that! The Siren Chronicles by Douglas J. Sloan offers a great deal of excitement as three mermaids embark on their earth quest. Each one faces challenges as they learn to maneuver themselves on land and deal with humans.

One of them gets the answer to something that has haunted her since childhood.

All three get a taste of evil that will take every ounce of their strength to defeat. Can they do it? They have to. Their underwater world depends on it.

I enjoyed The Siren Chronicles immensely. I couldn’t put it down and can’t wait to read Book 2!

Book Review: Purge on the Potomac by David Thomas Roberts

Purge on the Potomac by David Thomas Roberts  
Available 30 August 2018

As most of our blog readers know, we don’t normally read fiction. It is very difficult to review fiction because you don’t want to give away any secrets that might spoil the book.

On the rare occasion that we do read fiction, it is difficult to find any fiction book in keeping with our Christian values. Too often we find books that are really cheesy romance novels, with a very little bit of plot mixed in between the raunchy sex scenes.  

Purge on the Potomac (The Patriot Series) by David Thomas Roberts is different. It is a very exciting and, at times, funny book about the very real threats we all face since many of our elected officials, at all levels, think we serve at their pleasure rather than the other way around.

It does use the Lord’s name as a curse twice, once on page 192 and again on page 316 of the paperback edition we were given as an advanced media copy for review. This explains why our star rating is not all five stars. Our review policy states up front not to send us any books with the Lord’s name used in vain.

Other than that, this book is the most exciting and interesting fiction book David has ever read. It takes place here in the State of Texas. What is really interesting to us is that the author, David Thomas Roberts, has a scene take place on a ranch in Shiner, Texas. Mr Roberts may be aware that there is just such a ranch, owned by the Roberts family, that resembles his description in Shiner, Texas. We know the Roberts that purchased said property is David’s maternal grandpa, Leon Wallis Roberts. He is buried in the Shiner cemetery.

The author does an outstanding job of capturing the sentiment that is held by most Texans regarding the second amendment and interference in The Great State of Texas. It is not a question of IF Texas will secede, but when.

Purge on the Potomac is the kind of book you just can’t put down. It is very exciting right up to the last page where you have to sit back and say, “Wow”.

Book Review: Dream Walker by Larry Prosor

Dream Walker by Larry Prosor

I thought I had read just about every kind of story imaginable. Dream Walker by Larry Prosor proved me wrong.

I don’t normally review fiction because it is so difficult to do so without spoilers.

I just need to tell you that this book is like no other I have ever read. It provides a look at how our Native American ancestors lived in the past and what challenges they went through.

Prosor did an excellent job at weaving a story in such a way that the reader learns a lot about Native American culture while reading a truly fascinating and mind opening tale.

We give Dream Walker all five stars. We would love to read more by this author. He proves that a very well-written story can stand on its own without graphic romance scenes or lots of vulgar words. There is only one profane word in the book.

Even though this book is not written to be a Christian novel, Dream Walker is one that we can wholeheartedly recommend.

We were sent a complimentary copy of this book. We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.

Book Review: Three of Cups by Kathy Wilson Florence

Three of Cups by Kathy Wilson Florence

I was a bit concerned about reading this book due to the use of tarot cards early on in it, but I am glad that I gave it a chance. It is a great book!

Three of Cups is the story of the lives of three women of two different generations. There is love, family, war, deceit, and tragedy. There is laughter and there are tears.

I (Suzanne) couldn’t put this book down. It had my mind going on hyper mode trying to put it all together, making connections between this person, this situation, and that one. It kept me wondering how the author would pull it all together for resolution at the end, and would it have a happy ending or would lives be ripped apart.

Kathy Wilson Florence is a great storyteller who weaves us in and out of the timelines and lives of the three main characters and support people along the way.

There is minimal use of profanity (and none of the major profane words) and there are no graphic intimate scenes. I give Three of Cups 5 stars and think that you will find it hard to put down, too!

We were sent a complimentary copy of this book. We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative. We are disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255.

Book Review: Gulag 401(k): Tales of a Modern Prisoner by Richard A. Marin

Gulag 401(k): Tales of a Modern Prisoner by Richard A. Marin

The category listed on the back of Gulag 401(k): Tales of a Modern Prisoner by Richard A. Marin is fiction. I am not at all sure that is correct.

The back of the book states “In this book, the author recalls his career and explores how to afford retirement…” I am not sure all of that is entirely accurate either.

Readers really aren’t given any significant investing for retirement information. However, readers are treated to an inside look at the life of the author. This look does not appear to be fiction. Who could make this stuff up?

We live in a completely different world from the author. Marin does not see a $35 parking ticket as a significant expense, whereas we will drive out of our way to keep from having to pay a $1 toll on the toll road in Houston. For us, $35 is 3% of our monthly income.

We really would love to read more of Marin’s writing, especially a little more detailed look inside Bear Stearns and Bankers Trust.

We give Gulag 401(k): Tales of a Modern Prisoner all five stars. It is an extremely well-written story that takes us through the author’s very interesting career. We follow Marin from his first day at work on his first job at Bankers Trust to his time as a teacher at a university, all the way through to his planned retirement.

One can learn a lot about the financial world. Marin does a better job at describing the financial meltdown at Bear Stearns than many of the books we have read that were written to specifically address that particular era in American history.

We would love to read a book that was a compilation of this author’s in-the-trenches stories of big business and big finance.

Yes, the back of this book is a little misleading. However, readers will not be disappointed. Readers will be entertained and they just might learn a little bit about preparing for retirement through the eyes of someone who has blazed a trail ahead of us. You should order your copy of Gulag 401(k): Tales of a Modern Prisoner by Richard A. Marin today. Maybe give one to a friend.

Book Review: Deadwood and Beyond by Kip Meyerhoff

Deadwood and Beyond by Kip Meyerhoff

Kip Meyerhoff proves that one can write a good mystery book without having to have graphic sex scenes every chapter and without having to have profanity.

Deadwood and Beyond is a great detective story about a private investigator and multiple investigations. The question is, how do all these investigations tie into one another? One simply has to read the book to find this out.

There are all sorts of mysteries in this book. It isn’t your typical “figured it out in the first chapter” kind of book.

Deadwood and Beyond is very well-written and very entertaining. We give it all five stars and a pot of coffee to boot. If you are tired of reading the drivel that normally makes up a mystery novel, you will be pleasantly surprised with this book.

Book Review: Forgotten Violets by Martin Niewood

Forgotten Violets by Martin Niewood

Forgotten Violets by Martin Niewood started off slow for me. Maybe I’m just too old for this genre, but it was very confusing to me...at first. I couldn’t follow what was happening. It was this way for the first 96 pages or so. However, on that page, it took a turn with a revelation. This is the way the last 100 pages went. I couldn’t put it down after this point.

Wow! There are many twists and turns packed in the last half of this book. Just when you think you may have it figured out, you find out that you don’t, and are a long way from figuring it out.

I am afraid to say much of anything for fear of spoiling it for you!

Nothing is as it seems. Meadow (the lead character), Elizabeth, and Parker try to sort through all of the chaos to get to the truth and not get killed in the process. This book has battles, both physical and mental, romance, friendship, and betrayal.

There is one intimate incident, but it was very conservatively written, not graphic at all, and only a sentence or two long. There is one scene describing illicit drug use, its consequences, and suicide.

If you like mysterious and supernatural story lines, you’ll enjoy Forgotten Violets.

Book Review: Jobmobbers: Under the Watchful Eye of the Coyote by Patricia Komar

Jobmobbers: Under the Watchful Eye of the Coyote by Patricia Komar

For the first time in a long time, we are able to review a fiction book that is what it is. By that, we mean that the book is exactly how it is presented.

Too many times recently we have been presented with books that were supposed to be mystery books that turned out to be disguised romance books. We have read countless fiction books that go into great detail about the clothes the heroine is wearing in order to have loads of product placement.

Jobmobbers is a great story that draws the reader in and holds their attention. It is a story about bullying in the workplace and one brave woman who faced most of it alone.

We give Jobmobbers all five stars. It is well-written and entertaining. We think you will like it.

Press Release: Forgotten Violets by Martin Niewood

Forgotten Violets

by Martin Niewood

Sometimes things are not as they seem…

DEBUT FANTASY Y.A. NOVEL TACKLES DECEIT, BETRAYAL AND AN UNCONVENTIONAL LOOK AT THE AFTERLIFE 

 

What would you do if you suddenly realized everything in your life was a complete lie? That is just what protagonist Meadow Noone is facing in the thrilling new Y.A. fantasy novel, Forgotten Violets [November 2017], by standout debut author Martin Niewood.

The book opens just as Meadow is being released from her captor’s cellar. But she soon realizes that this isn’t the end of her problems, but only the beginning as she is quickly arrested for a crime she didn’t commit. Feigning amnesia, she is determined to hide her secret at all costs – one too terrible to reveal.

In a place where nothing is as it appears, her trial in Thornbridge is unnerving, as the formidable interrogator, Quinn Cerpen, knows more than he is letting on. Pursued by real and legendary demons, Meadow’s enemies are closer than she could imagine.

With no one to turn to, she relies upon her friends, Parker and Elizabeth, to retain her sanity. Overwhelmed by anxiety, she succumbs to Elsyn, a mysterious and addictive fruit. She wonders if the Elsyn is powerful enough to free her from the past that haunts her. Before long, she realizes that there is more to this sinister plot than her abduction and that the Elsyn is part of the puzzle.

Forgotten Violets is the story of Meadow’s journey through a psychological landscape of deceit and betrayal that causes her to question her relationships and beliefs. She knows that she is changing, but changing into what?

“Things are not always as they appear at face value, especially for young adults these days with the added pressure of social media,” Niewood says. “Sometimes in an effort to fit in or to make ourselves seem more important, we buy into the lie that everything must be perfect. But we can all benefit from learning how to look past facades to ascertain what is truly happening in someone’s life.”

MARTIN NIEWOOD lives just outside of Philadelphia where he is a full-time writer. He attended Johnson & Wales University before moving to Los Angeles to work in the talent industry. An avid sports fan, Niewood loves all Philadelphia teams but especially the Eagles. His writing partner is his dog, Mattie.

Forgotten Violets is Niewood’s debut novel and the first book in a three-part series. He has two additional novels releasing in 2018 as well.

Connect with Niewood on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram and at www.martinniewood.com.

Forgotten Violets will be available on Amazon and in select brick-and-mortar retailers as of November 2017.

Book Review: Beach Detective Woman Overboard By Fred Fuld III

Beach Detective Woman Overboard

By Fred Fuld III

Beach Detective: Woman Overboard is a fast read. The story moves at a fairly rapid pace and the reader’s interest is held throughout the book.  

The characters are believable and interesting. We think it makes a good read and moves well.

Fuld, the author, did an excellent job making his readers feel like they actually knew the characters.  Who doesn’t remember those awkward times at high school when boys and girls come together in social setting?

Our hero is hired to find a missing girl, a girl he once knew from high school.  

Throw in a mystery body and an additional client who won’t take no for an answer, and you have an interesting recipe for a mystery.

We think you will enjoy Beach Detective Woman Overboard by Fred Fuld III.  We give it all five stars.  We think Fuld makes an excellent mystery writer.

Book Review: Jaybird’s Song By Kathy Wilson Florence

Jaybird’s Song

By Kathy Wilson Florence

If you like smiles, you’ll like this book. If you like books that make you cry, you’ll love this book.  All the way through, Jaybird’s Song was an emotional experience.

This book does a bit of time travel in that in one chapter, you’re in the turbulent 1960s and in the next chapter, you’re in 2003 and 2004.  This was a bit frustrating for me at first because I tend to prefer chronological order.  But, it grew on me and the back and forth rhythm became a bit of a comfort, a respite from the sad parts of one time frame or the other.

There are lots of smiles and tears shared, along with memories of events during the Civil Rights movement, integration, and personal family heartbreaks.  We get to witness some of the trials of the teenage years, some rather graphic, and those of the not-so-very young years.

Jaybird’s Song ultimately becomes about the struggle of the little girl inside of a hurting middle-aged woman, struggling to reconcile the love and the hurt of her family’s past and bringing that love - and forgiveness - forward to share with her children.

It is a great book and I give Jaybird’s Song all five stars. It has made me do a great deal of soul-searching myself.  Maybe it will do the same for you.

Book Review: Lowcountry Book Club

Lowcountry Book Club: A Liz Talbot Mystery

By Susan M. Boyer

Well, here we are back on Stella Maris. Susan M. Boyer takes us back for a fun trip to the South Carolina coast.

We have to say, we love the Liz Talbot mysteries.  They are very entertaining and they help us to enjoy what would otherwise be a same-ol’ same-ol’ life.

Life on Stella Maris is never same-ol’ same-ol’. Take in a crime, which may or may not be a murder, add in a cast of characters who all have some type of secret to hide, stir in a cast of good ol’ Southern people, mix in a guardian spirit, and poof, you have the perfect recipe to overcome the same-ol’ same-ol’.

Boyer is not like many writers of a series.  Instead of becoming predictable, dry, and repetitive, each new book is like a continuation of the last and takes new twists and turns.  

These book are well-written and just plain fun.  Our author makes us hungry for good old Southern comfort foods.  This makes our mouths water and our tummies plead for some of that good old food.  We give Lowcountry Book Club all five stars along with two snaps up in a circle and some ham biscuits, too.

Even yankees can like the Liz Talbot books.  They can read them and pretend they grew up in God’s Country.  When you order your copy of this book, order all six books that have been written so far.  Just like eating certain potato chips, no one can read just one.

We were sent a complimentary copy of this book.  We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.

Book Review: Lowcountry Bonfire by Susan M. Boyer

Lowcountry Bonfire

By Susan M. Boyer

Lowcountry Bonfire is book #6 in the Liz Talbot Mystery Series by Susan M. Boyer. All of these books are great, but Lowcountry Bonfire is, I think, the most powerful one yet!

Once again, we are treated to Mama’s wonderful, drool-inducing cooking and Daddy’s antics, which aid in his favorite pastime of getting Mama riled up. Also, there is a bit of after life assistance as Liz and Nate seek to uncover the mysteries of the most recent crime on the island of Stella Maris, South Carolina. They have a few sticky moments that might cause you to hold your breath for a moment or two.

This one kept me wondering for the longest time about who did it and the answer was a definite surprise to me.  The wrap-up on this crime was a very sad one that left me on the verge of tears.  The discovery of “whodunit” was an emotional situation that was very believable. I could see it happening.  The sucker punch was enough to throw anybody over the edge.

There are some bad words in this story, one being the “f” word near the end. There are no really graphic intimate scenes. This book is pretty clean as far as that goes. I like this because when I read a crime caper mystery, it is for the mystery, not for any romance.

Lowcountry Bonfire gets all five stars. If you love a good mystery, you can’t go wrong with this one!

Book Review: Cutie Meets Mr. Lizard by Felicia Di John

Cutie Meets Mr. Lizard

by Felicia Di John

We have to say that Cutie Meets Mr. Lizard is a very sweet and cute book. The illustrations are wonderful.  In fact, if one did not know that some of the trees in it were not real, they would have a difficult time telling it.

Cutie gets tired of eating the same old thing day after day, so she starts off on an adventure while her mom is at school.  This leads to her realizing that she has things pretty good at home.

We give this book all five stars.  It is well-written and well-illustrated. We think the child on your list will love it, too.

Book Review: Lowcountry Bordello By Susan M. Boyer

Lowcountry Bordello

By Susan M. Boyer

Have you ever read a whodunit book that drags you in early in the story so that you just can’t put it down?  Lowcountry Bordello by Susan M. Boyer is that kind of book.  

This is the fourth book in the Liz Talbot Mystery series. This book might well be the best so far.  From the very beginning, there are so many people who could have done it that the reader stays engaged with the story throughout the book.

We feel Lowcountry Bordello rates all five stars.  It is very well-written, spellbinding, and entertaining.

We look forward to reading the next in the series and hope the series will go well beyond the promised sixth book in the series.  

The pinnacle of Lowcountry Bordello is so exciting and dramatic that we know any mystery lover will love this series.

When you order your copy of Lowcountry Boil, the first in this series, you should go ahead and order all five of the books that are available so far.  That way you won’t have to wait on the painfully slow next day air delivery.

We were sent a complimentary copy of this book.  We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.

Book Review: A Home For The Redeemed By Sue Behnke

A Home For The Redeemed

By Sue Behnke

A Home for the Redeemed by Sue Behnke reads a good deal like the Left Behind series.  We don’t mean that it is about the end of times.  We mean that it is an entertaining book that draws the reader into the story.

This book is very well-written and very well-researched. It is a fictional account of the struggle a modern day church faces in its everyday existence.

A Home for the Redeemed is deserving of all five stars. We think it would lead into a series very well.  We feel this would make a great lead into a series of discussions within a church.  Churches may well wish to start a reading circle to read and discuss this book.

We think you will enjoy A Home for the Redeemed. It is one you should add to your “to read” list today.

We were sent a complimentary copy of this book.  We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.

Book Review: Lowcountry Boneyard By Susan M Boyer

Lowcountry Boneyard
By Susan M Boyer

 

Wow! is all we can say about Lowcountry Boneyard.  This is a very intriguing and entertaining book.

We love the Liz Talbot books because they are set in our homeplace.  Susan Boyer, the author, is from South Carolina and incorporates a lot of real South Carolina places and even some real South Carolina citizens.  

In Lowcountry Boneyard, we are given the facts and suppositions in doses just large enough for us to create our own theories of who done it. Most of the time we are wrong but, the evidence that actually leads up to the criminal is there all along.

This is a great story of how family is supposed to work, and so often doesn’t, alongside another family that just doesn’t work like it should.

We give Lowcountry Boneyard all five stars.  It is masterfully written with all kinds of excitement.  Many mysteries today leave you asking yourself, “Why didn’t such and such happen?”  This is not like that.  The evidence all fits very well together.  There are no loose ends like in some books out there.

Too many fiction writers fall into a predictable rut and readers who have been following the series can guess the outcome early in the book.  So far Boyer has not fallen into that rut.

Lowcountry Boneyard is anything but predictable. We read it straight through, only stopping for a quick bite to eat. You won’t want to put it down, either.

Grab your copy and put on a pot of coffee and enjoy Lowcountry Boneyard.  You will love it.
