Review of 'Emergency Broadcast'
Emergency broadcast
Grab your backpack and head for the hills.
Something is happening. No one seems to know what. Or if they do, they ain’t telling. People are going crazy in Witherton and though no one is saying it, the Z-word lingers in the imagination of the reader from the word go.
This book has some good pacing. There’s no chapter that doesn’t have tension, and dealing with different characters and their points of view kept the whole story from being pigeonholed into a standard Z-word story.
As for the characters, there’s a lot of them. Be prepared to take notes to remember who’s who. That’s probably the one downside of this book, there’s a lot of characters. The reader cares for them at different levels and wants each to survive for different reasons.
Morality takes its place in the story as well when characters are given choices they have to make and watching them struggle with what to do is a good part of the tension.
Overall, the book handles a multiple POV quite well. It keeps things hopping and keeps the reader guessing what’s going to happen and who’s going to be around to talk about it.
A good Z-word book. I’m looking forward to the next in the series.

Review of 'Survival on Walker Mountain' by Rod Myers
Survival on Walker Mountain: Life Behind the WallThis book was a little hard to get into at the start but I think it’s because I was a corrections officer and already knew many of the ins and outs he describes in the opening chapters.
I appreciated the way he went about describing the intricacies of working at a prison. He started out with five rookies and followed them through their training. In this way, he was able to show the reader what it’s like to be a corrections officer without a lot of exposition.
Even so, the training sessions were a little long, and the really interesting, ‘can’t put this book down until I find out what happens’ part wasn’t until he started to incorporate the inmates’ stories in the narrative.
Once that happens, this book is a runaway locomotive. I devoured chapter after chapter wanting to know how it turned out.
Murder, mayhem, extortion, drugs, blackmail, it’s all here. The story centers around a drug ring inside the prison and how they try to root it out. Along the way, bad things happen and the rookies have to make a choice about how they’re going to handle them.
If you’re looking for a lot of tear shedding, you won’t find it in this book. The author treats it precisely like a corrections officer would. Clean up the mess and find out what happened so we can prevent it next time.
Strangely enough, the emotional story comes from the inmates’ side of the bars. When we’re brought along for a character’s story that involves some soul-searching and evaluating of the nature of his crime.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to work in a prison, this book comes about as close as any fictional story I’ve ever read.
Once it gets going, it’s a serious page-turner that I would recommend to anyone except the kiddos. Obviously, due to the graphic nature of prison life, that is very well portrayed, this book is not for the younger set.

Review of 'Ten Davids Two Goliaths'
Ten Davids, Two GoliathsThis book was easy to read thanks to its many similarities to the Star Wars universe. It was a quick read. (I finished it in under an hour) It reminded me of watching just the space battle portion of any of the Star Wars movies, only delving into the thoughts and fears of the pilots as they waited for and eventually waged their battle against the evil empire. One thing that took me out of the story was the constant mention of the gods they prayed to. There were more than you could shake a stick at. It became distracting when they took time out of an action-packed battle to say the name of some obscure god. I especially find this ironic seeing that the title refers to the Bible, yet the text seems to name many other gods except the Christian one.
It was easy to pick up on who was who and which side they were on due to the many Star Wars ish terms such as Alliance and Empire. I also liked the descriptive language in the battle scenes and the way the author focused on saying laser without using the word laser.
The battle scenes themselves were well done and briskly paced. In fact, this was a page-turner that was hard to put down for as long as it was.
Relationships played in this story as well with concern being the main emotion shown. The tension was also nicely paced and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.
Bottom line, if you like Star Wars type space battle stories, this one is for you. It shows inside the head of the fighters as they wait for the attack all the way up to the aftermath.
I’ll be reading the next part of this story when I get a chance.

Review of 'The Fertility Project'
The Fertility Project
Altruism gone wrong.
Researching a cure for infertility. Giving couples hope when they’ve given up on having their own children. How could that possibly go wrong? And yet it does as we find out from the very first paragraph.
Yet another book where the author does a masterful job of creating tension throughout the entire story. He does it in an interesting way, by showing the team of soldiers going in to investigate what went wrong first.
He switches back and forth between following the team in the present as they reveal the horrors of a horribly failed experiment and the past where the researchers made the mistakes that led to disaster.
Even the subtitles of the chapters in the past keep the tension flowing with how long until disaster. Giving even the seemingly innocent events leading up to it more weight.
The tension never abates as we slowly find out what’s happening and a mystery reveals itself. What’s happening to the subjects of the experiment? How can the doctors help them? Why are these strange things occurring?
Pieces of the puzzle fall into place as the reader switches from past to present and the bigger picture comes into focus.
As I read the past and saw the researchers struggle, I found myself wanting things to turn out ok and deluded myself into thinking that they could somehow avert the disaster. But then I realized that in the present the soldiers were already fighting for their lives to salvage what they could out of a horrible situation.
A taut horror story that starts out innocent but turns terrible through mistakes, delusion, and betrayal.
Highly recommended.

Review of 'They came from the Mall' by Boris Bacic
They Came From The Mall
When a group of friends goes urban exploring, they find much more than they bargained for.
It was supposed to be a fun little trip to an abandoned mall for a group of friends. Just a quick examination, with a camera, to make their video the best and most popular one ever. But they had no idea where their investigation would take them and what they would discover along the way.
This is one of the best horror books I’ve read in a long time. Not because it splatters so much blood my fingers feel sticky from turning pages like other horror books, but because of its pacing and tension. This book hooks you from the moment they step into the mall and doesn’t let go until the surprising end.
The author did an excellent job of placing the reader in the moment. I felt like I was exploring alongside them, and therefore I felt every bit of the taut atmosphere as they found themselves delving deeper into the mysteries of this abandoned mall.
With believable characters who each have their own motivations for being there, and tension that comes not only from the creatures hunting them, but from within the group itself, which tetters on the edge of falling apart at any moment.
Exploring the characters and their stories as they explore the mall is yet another way the tension is dialed to eleven in this tale of youthful exuberance giving way to the wisdom of experience. But will the wisdom come too late and at what price?
I’ll say there were more than a few times when I held my breath unknowingly as I read this book. I didn’t want to put it down for anything, even sleep.
An excellent read that will keep you up at night until you turn the final page.
Highly recommended.

Review of 'When darkness falls'
Review of When Darkness Falls
Having previously read another of Ms. Harryman’s serial killer stories I have to wonder how she comes up with her ideas. It seems she knows the serial killer mind a little too well, if you know what I mean. I find myself concerned for her neighbors’ safety. Lol
All kidding aside, this is another solid thriller from an author who has proven to me she has a good grasp on the bloody knife of the serial killer genre.
She jumps right into the story and doesn’t let up on the tension until the end. You’ll find yourself questioning things from the get go. In fact the only thing you won’t question is the killer’s motive, because the killer tells you from her own mouth.
Ms. Harryman balances the brutality with humor supplied by the main character’s friends. In fact, their friendship is a major positive in this story that kept me chuckling as I turned pages.
I guessed early on at the killer’s identity but still found the story intriguing and wanted to see what happened. The ending threw me for a loop enough to be satisfied and tied up the story nicely while leaving that shred of doubt.
Another excellent serial killer thriller from Kathleen Harryman with buckets of blood and a nice twist ending. I look forward to reading the sequel, ‘Darkness Rising’.

Introducing Kindle Vella
For all of those readers who haven’t tried Kindle Vella yet I have one thing to say… you should. If you’ve already been reading vellas, skip to the third paragraph.
I’ve been reading some amazing stories on vella. So just a quick overview for those who aren’t familiar with the platform. Kindle Vella is similar to Wattpad. The catch is the first three episodes of every vella is free. Amazon also starts you out with 500 free tokens. Even after you’ve gone through your free episodes, amazon is letting you read more episodes for free. The token system works like this. Each 100 words an episode is long costs one token. So an 800 word episode would cost 8 tokens. Once you start buying tokens, they charge on a sliding scale. 200 tokens is $1.99, 525 tokens for $4.99, 1100 tokens for $9.99, and finally, 1700 tokens for $14.99.
Enough with the boring stuff. There are some amazing stories on vella and amazon makes it easy for you to binge stories. Once you click on an episode, if it’s free, you go straight to reading, if it needs unlocked, you click on how many tokens needed to unlock it, they subtract that from your total and it’s instantly unlocked. You scroll down to read and at the end of the episode there are author note if they choose to post any and then is a button for the next episode. Very easy binge reading. If you get to the end of an episode and you don’t have enough tokens for the next, it takes you straight to the list of tokens to buy. One click and you’re back reading. Every episode you’ve unlocked stays unlocked as part of your amazon account just like buying kindle ebooks.
Ok, I said enough of the boring stuff then I wrote more boring stuff. Sorry.
I promise this is the end of the boring stuff.
I’ve read some awesome stories. And here they are in no certain order, noting genre. I haven’t finished all of these mostly because the author is still in the process of posting new chapters.
Malcom Karma: Cold Turkey – Crime Noir https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/s...
The 13th room – Locked room/suspense/thriller https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/s...
Enoch Rising – Supernatural/Science fiction (think DaVinci code) https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/s...
The seven blind dates: A dating disasters fairytale retelling – Contemporary Romance https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/s...

And then there’s my vella,

I’ve read some or all of these stories and personally recommend them. They are addictive and well written. Those of you who still aren’t convinced to give kindle vella a try, you’re missing out. For those who have decided to give it a try, welcome to a world of nearly unlimited reading.

Review of 'Other Voices: a small town romance'
I mentioned in a previous post that I don’t read romance. I even mentioned that book was the first I’d ever read the whole way through. That would make this my second. And if this one is any indication of other romances, it will in no way be my last.
This book was intriguing not because of the romance but because of the almost total lack of it. Not to say that there weren’t romantic moments but they were quite subtle, which was something I wasn’t expecting in a literary world that seems overrun by spicy romance.
I was also surprised by how thoroughly I became hooked on the story because of how well the characters were developed. I appreciated that the main characters were drawn to each other but had the moral fortitude to wait for the right moment because of ethical conflicts.
I became hooked on this boy meets girl, boy can’t have girl because of ethical conflict, boy and girl act like adults and go on with their lives thinking about each other but not pining every moment like rabbits in heat.
In the end I rooted for the characters. I wanted to see them end up together. But mostly I wanted, no, needed to find out what happened in the story. I became hooked on reading this story so badly that not just once I had to physically separate myself from my phone so that I could go on with my life and get daily things done.
I was very happy to read that the author has a sequel to this story and I desperately want to read it. But first I have to get some other reading obligations out of the way.
I hope the author releases this vella as a book. It definitely deserves a lot of readers.

Review of ‘The Seven blind dates: Dating disasters fairytale retelling (Season 1)’
Ok, let’s start out with the most important fact. I don’t read romance. Like I have never read a romance book before this one. I’m in a facebook group where we support each other by reading each other’s stories.
Now, with the disclaimer out of the way. I honestly read the first couple of chapters rolling my eyes multiple times. Not that it had anything to do with the quality of the story, just not my genre.
And then something strange happened. I started wanting to read, no, needing to read it just to find out what happens. I became intrigued with the characters and cared what happened to them.
In short, I got hooked.
The whole premise of this story was interesting to start. The concept of going on seven first dates and not being allowed on a second date until they were all finished was unique. But that wasn’t the only draw. The characters were likable and believable. The dates were varied and didn’t really repeat each other in outcomes. The author also did a good job of describing characters in a conversational style that didn’t seem forced.
I will say this book is not for the kiddos. There were some ‘spicy’ scenes that were descriptive, to say the least. I’d call it ‘R’ rated but not ‘X’. But at the core of the story was a lonely woman looking to find a man to spend some time with and maybe the rest of her life. A worthwhile journey to undertake.
In the end, I really enjoyed reading this story. I think it’s tough to get much higher praise than that.

Review of 'Enoch Rising' on kindle vella
I started reading this kindle vella story because I saw it on a facebook post and thought it sounded intriguing. I was so wrong. This book is downright mesmerizing.
The author does a wonderful job of weaving narratives past and present into each other as well as profiling characters that make them not just interesting but irresistible. Even though flawed and very human, I wanted to find out, no, I was desperate to find out what happened next.
Mr. Perkins has an awesome style of giving detail of surroundings and people that are just enough to intrigue without going so far as to lose interest. I also loved the little details. The descriptions of why an assassin has a certain tattoo, the keeping of dialogue relevant to the time period it’s from, the clacking of heels in an empty hallway as a scientist walks determinedly.
All of these add up to an immersive experience that I thoroughly enjoyed.
This book reminds me of Dan Brown’s ‘The Divinci Code’ only better. Time jumping back and forth from ancient Egypt to modern-day New York with a stop off to explain the origins of an assassin have me completely engulfed in this story about a lost book of the Bible and the ramifications of it.
I’m reading this story on kindle vella and currently, I’m up to episode 23 and anxiously awaiting the next episode. This story has been added to my growing list of vellas I will recommend to readers looking for an amazing read.
Fans of Dan Brown’s book and anyone who loves action, adventure, historical, fiction, and thrillers will love this story.
