#415 ~ Twisted Little Things and Other Stories

Twisted Little Things and Other Stories

Twisted Little Things and Other Stories by Amy Cross

My rating: 4 of 5 stars








This was a total break away choice for me, and actually I found it to be interestingly and thoughtfully written. The author does a really great job of constructing short story narratives - in this collection they sit together in a really nicely curated whole.

I didn't find any of the subject matter truly disturbing, but rather very thought provoking. Amy's work has a very 'Tales of the Unexpected' feel to it, and would probably work well in a TV episode format.

Production values were quite high, with only one thing to mention.  Unfortunately, I had forgotten to make a note on here before I returned the book and have now lost the highlighted note on my Kindle (stupid girl!).  It was only one missing/word order comment so it doesn't really matter.



Read as part of my Kindle Unlimited package.

#497 ~ Highlander in Her Bed

Highlander In Her Bed (Highlander, #1)

Highlander In Her Bed by Allie Mackay

My rating: 3 of 5 stars









The second book in the Kindle Unlimited Box Set 'Gentleman Always Play Fair' (locations in the box set are 4414 to 10567).

The story started quite well with an attempt at humour, but failed to add up to anything substantial.  It simply did not gel I am afraid, in fact I would go so far as to say that the pace of the plot was on the slow side.

Unfortunately gaining no more stars that its already reviewed counterpart (for the same reasons) and also a few errors. I looked hard, but could not come up with any highlights.



Errors/Bug Bears and no highlights:

Location 4759: 'dash the flew blocks.'  ARGGGH blocks, we do not have 'blocks' and it is most definitely not correct in novel about England - lack of bloody research.  This is one step down from 'gotten'.

Location 9649: 'done by a highly talent artist.' - talented.

As mentioned in my previous post, I will rate each book and then give an overall rating at the end.

Happy reading.

#490 - In the Light of What We See


In the Light of What We SeeIn the Light of What We See by Sarah Painter

My rating: 4 of 5 stars











I found it to be fairly slowed paced, but please don't take that as a criticism - sometimes a meander is just as satisfying as a fast-paced adventure.

Without giving any spoilers, it's a two stranded book with a contemporary and historical (pre-WWII) flip between chapters and there is a paranormal element to add a little texture.

I like the cut of this author's jib - whilst this was a good read - it was a little safe. I am fairly confident that she could really turn up the gas to produce something truly outstanding.

As I am a Kindle Unlimited Member on Amazon I got this free, you can get hold a copy HERE.


Highlights: 

Page 67 - 'Okay.  Now I knew I would have to get better, so that I could kick him in the nuts.' 


Bug Bear/Error:

A really goo quality production for this, with just one error I spotted at Page 171 'aggrieved tone he often used.' - I think it should have been 'she'.

#486 ~ Ghost Gifts

Ghost Gifts

Ghost Gifts by Laura Spinella

My rating: 5 of 5 stars






Extraordinarily good, with really decently constructed characters.

I particularly like the modest pace and texture in the plot that kept me engaged and surprised by the plot twist.

I would certainly read Ms Spinella again.

The text only held two errors, which is a bonus, I like my books to have high production values.

Errors/Bug Bears:

Page 129:  'piss in his country-issue boots in heartbeat' - missing an 'a' there I believe.

Page 226:  'Pa said that all time'. - missing 'the'.

Purchase Details:

Another Kindle Unlimited book for me - this is such a brilliant option for somebody that reads a lot, but doesn't mind being restricted by the choices available.  At the moment I am pretty much sticking to it exclusively as I have limited recreational reading time, but will start buying more books when I have some more time University modules.

I got my copy HERE.  If you don't have the option to get a copy with Unlimited, at the time of publishing this the Kindle file was £3.98.

Happy reading.

Hugs


xoxo

Prequel book in Law of the Lycans Series



There was nothing not to like about this one.

Fairly well written, and with a little tweak in the werewolf description and telling.

I featured on my Blog in April 2013 as a DSOA, and at the time of writing this it's still available free as a Kindle download.

If you like vamps and werewolf fiction then give it a go.

Errors/Bug-Bears:

Loc 979:  There was a hint of panic her voice - panic in her voice.

Loc 2146:  Then go do your job and I'll do mine - not particularly attractive use of language and punctuation, but that's me being fussy.

Loc 2559:  The way he was fixated on the two of them - I just think "fixated" is a horrible word.

Loc 5615:  Go check - there it is again, a partial sentence.

Loc 6351:  gotten - uck!!!


Happy reading

#407 ~ Ignite

Ignite (Midnight Fire, #1)Ignite by Kaitlyn Davis

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Book #1 - Midnight Fire Series


I know that this was given 5 stars from others, but for me it was a tad on the dull side ..... it could be of course that I was bedevilled by the star rating given by others that made me have high expectations, or I'm very hard to please .... read it and let me know.

I don't think I'll bother with the remainder of the series.


Product Details:

You can download a copy HERE, I featured it back in April 2013 as a Daily Selection and it is still available free at the time of writing this post.

165 pages
Indie Published
Science Fiction, Fantasy, Paranormal genre
Adult (with no overt sexual scenes)


Errors/Bug Bears:

Loc 1827: He ate blood for crying out load.

Correct to:  He at blood for crying out loud.

Loc 2080:  to go find her friends.

I have mentioned it many times before, and yes I'm aware it is an North American affectation, but it should be:  go and find her friends.

Loc 2100:  let's go be evil.

Conjunctions please:  lets go and be evil.

Loc 2381:  gotten

Arghhhhh - deplorable use language.

Loc 2921:  Luke ran over, jumped at Diana and reach out his hands to strangle her...

Correct to:   Luke ran over, jumped at Diana and reached out his hands to strangle her...


** ** ** ** **

For some reason, GoodReads failed to pick up this book as a "Read", and therefore count it towards last year's total ... so lucky me, it is now going towards the 2014 target of 150 books.  I completely smashed through last year's target, but as we are due to move house and with college taking up quite a bit of time I decided to just keep to an easy enough figure.

Happy reading. and a very Happy New Year.

#391 ~ I'll See You in Your Dreams

I'll See You In Your DreamsI'll See You In Your Dreams by Tony Miller

My rating: 4 of 5 stars








A little different and quirky, reading this Novel seemed to fly past, which obviously meant that managed to engage me. In fact, I've just popped back to check how many pages, so that I wasn't getting confused and befuddled by thinking it was a Novella. No, 300 pages, so my comments about engagement stand.

Not normally a fan of plot leaps from past, present, etc., I didn't seem to mind it too much with this one - I fit nicely within the plot.

Without a doubt I would read more by Tony Miller, and would award this retro-Quantum Leap'esque interesting read 4 stars.


Product Details:

This was one of my DSOA's in March 2013, and it therefore goes without saying that it was a free Kindle download at the time.

At the time of writing this post though it's available HERE listed at £3.18 for Kindle version and £6.83 the Paperback.

Published by:   Indie Writer (Self Published) his GoodReads Fan page is HERE
Genre:            Fantasy > Time Travel > Paranormal > Suspense
Reading Age:   YA to Adult with no sexual content as such


Errors/Bug Bears:

A nice surprise to find very few errors in this one - Kudos to Mr Miller for delivering a quality product.

Loc 1279:  Now keep your eyes close until I say to open them ...

Correct to:  Now keep your eyes closed until I say to open them ...

Loc 3113:  I'm in need of two thorough background checks on a couple foreigners in Fresno.

More a Bug Bear for me, although it's colloquial dialogue, the use of couple rather than couples grates.

Happy reading.

Hugs

#375 - Afterlife (Box Set)

The Afterlife Series Box SetThe Afterlife Series Box Set by Willow Rose

My rating: 2 of 5 stars










I must admit that I had been expecting far more form this read, than it actually managed to deliver.

Disappointingly, it did have potential to be really quite good. However, the author's use of language was a little too naive. At times the plot hit just about the right tempo, and at others it just limped along. Even if this book was written specifically for the YA group, it falls short.

As far as characterisation was concerned, I never truly invested in Meghan, she came across as a miss nelly-know-all-goodie-gumdrops. As for Mick ..... stalker!

I was also failed to be convinced about the whole spiritual realm the author had going on, and wondered just why she portrayed it so near to real life with weddings, births etc.

If the writing had been tightened up, and a careful eye kept on pace, as well as just a little bit more imagination into the possibilities of the adventures the spirits' could have got up to, then this had the promise to be a much better read.

The end was precipitous, and left answers about what had gone on in Meghan's life, and also who the actual agent for the darkside is at the Academy. Will I bother with the 4th book in the series. Honestly, I'm not sure, if it comes up as a freebie then maybe, but I wouldn't waste hard earned on buying a copy.


Product details:

This was featured as one of my Daily Selections' back in March of this year.

A box set featured Books 1 (Beyond); Book 2 (Serenity); and Book 3 (Endurance).  You can download it from Amazon HERE.  At the time of writing this post it's available at £3.39 for the three books.

A further book (Book 4: Courageous) has now also been released.

I will update the "Review by Series" page with the details - it's the Afterlife Series.


Errors/Bug Bears:

*Introducing a New Author to the Blog*


I am taking a bit of a chance on this one today, it has 5 stars .... but only 1 review ..... and I'm never certain if that is a fix up (obviously if it isn't I apologise).  What the heck it's an interesting synopsis:


“She who wields the mark is the barrier between man and monster. She is the daughter of gods, the mother of man, protector of all. Vigilati Usque Ad Mortem”

All Isla Macallen wanted was a simple existence on her little Scottish island, free from her mother’s insanity and the prying eyes of neighbors. What she got was embroiled in a war for the souls of mankind. A war of good versus evil, of witches versus demons, and Isla learns that she alone can end it.

Dr. Jeremiah Rousseau was a self-proclaimed nomad, traveling the world researching paranormal phenomena. He doesn’t expect his research to lead him to Scotland, and to the woman who will turn his world upside down.

Together with a facetious shapeshifting animal spirit guide, Jeremiah and Isla discover that she is part of an ancient bloodline bred to protect the gateways between the human world and the spirit world, to keep evil demons from destroying them. They must find the key to defeating Alastore, the demon king, and closing the gate before Samhain, when the veil between the worlds is lifted. As the war for their souls wages around them, Isla and Jeremiah will risk it all for love—a love neither had ever thought possible.


It has North American spelling (sorry about that), but what the heck I'm giving it a go and adding it to my WTR pile (Want to Read) - which is always the best thing to do with the freebies, as it's never certain they hang around, so at least this way I secure it for naught.  I digress, click HERE to get your copy.

I am so desperately far behind with my reading, and by default reviewing ... still working away at March, with a book case of books received from Authors/Publishers and even more ebooks waiting in line from them, as well as my own DSOA's.  Still, the brat is back at school and today is a free day to read, read, read ... hopefully, I will have got the Pirate read I'm working on out of the way!

Have a good one peeps.

I just loved this cover, and the description was equally as interesting, so I thought I would give it a whirl:


Dulcie O’Neil is a fairy. And not the type to frolic in gardens. She’s a Regulator—a law-enforcement agent who monitors the creatures of the Netherworld to keep them from wreaking havoc in the mortal world. 

When a warlock is murdered and Dulcie was the last person to see him alive, she must uncover the truth before she’s either deported back to the Netherworld, or she becomes the next victim. 

Enter Knight Vander, a sinfully attractive investigator sent from the Netherworld to work the case with Dulcie. 

Between battling her attraction to her self-appointed partner, keeping a sadomasochistic demon in check, and fending off the advances of a sexy and powerful vampire, Dulcie’s got her hands full. 

As the body count increases, Dulcie finds herself battling dark magic, reconnoitring in S&M clubs and suffering the greatest of all betrayals.

I'm all about Time Travelling at the moment, and this new release caught my eye ... actually, I had something a little different planned, but it's not on free listing now unless you are a Prime Member (I will pop a link at the bottom just in case you are though).

Not much of a description for the Time Rider, but I think I'll give it a whirl:


Kristen Skipworth, plagued by her empathic power, has been captured by a dangerous and sexy man who thinks he's been sent from the future. Will her efforts to help him be the death of her?

"He wasn't supposed to be hampered by emotion. It was a pain in the ass to have feelings." Rider

"If you're so intent on killing me, wouldn't it have made more sense to leave me IN the building when it exploded?" Kristen



If you fancy giving it a try as well, click HERE for the free download.

As I mentioned earlier in this post, my original choice The Angel of Rosetown by Jennifer Hanning is still available as a free download for Prime Members - I have a copy and would recommend you give it a try.

My Daily (well almost after a long weekend off) Selection for Free Kindle Download at Amazon




Kindle Store > Books > Fiction > Young Adult > Horror > Vampires
Indie Writer (Self-published) another Author is also credited CJ Pinard


I took the chance and had a nice long weekend break, so we've had a break from my selections.  Never fear though I'm back and, as promised, have a nice Vampire one for you:


Danger lurks in the dead of night... 


Seventeen year old Nikki and her twin brother, Nathan, move to the small town of Shore Lake to start over after their mother is brutally attacked. When a missing teenager washes up on shore during their first night at the cabin and there are whispers of vampires in Shore Lake, Nikki begins to realize that there are things roaming in the darkness that are far more sinister than what they left behind in the city.


It's had 21 fairly decent reviews, and I whilst it seems primarily to be aimed at the YA/Teen market, some of those reviews have been from adults that loved it - it has a 4.5 star rating on Amazon.  You can find it available as a free download HERE , and judge for yourself.

On Amazon today my rating has gone up over the weekend to 5,893 (>) - I am still heading in the right direction.  I would love to get to the top 1,000 Reviewers' some day .... so if you find the Daily Kindle Download info useful please go over to my Reviews on Amazon and leave me some positive feedback - which helps my rating, and will earn you my grateful thanks.

#333 (#51 of 2013) - A Dark Kiss of Rapture ~ Sylvia Day *NEW AUTHOR



Kindle Store > Books > Fiction > Fantasy, Futuristic & Ghost

Description:

Of all the Fallen, Raze’s hungers are some of the darkest and most insatiable. His brazen seductions cost him his wings, leaving him soulless and immortal, the most dangerous of seducers. He has roamed the earth for aeons  hunting the rogues of his kind and protecting the humans who provide him with blood and sex. He is content with his life and the transient pleasures that flow through it... until one night and one woman change everything.

Kimberly McAdams is smart, beautiful, and wealthy. She can have any man she wants, but the moment she sets eyes on the lethally stunning Raze she knows he’s the man she needs. As one searingly erotic night burns into something deeper and far more vital than either of them expected, an adversary from Raze’s past sees a chance for revenge. Twisted by hatred, she will take from Raze what was taken from her—the precious gift of love.


Product Details:

I got this as a freebie Kindle download in February 2013, currently though it is listed as 77p.  You can either click HERE on the large title above the cover photograph to take you to the product.

Short story - 72 pages


* * * *

Summary:

Honestly, it was a little slow to get going, but it did bed in after a chapter or 2.  I can't tell a lie, it's a short one - possibly it might have eased the start, if it had been slightly longer and the beginning of the story was told in a less rushed way, in other words a bit more substance to setting out the plot.

All of the above, makes it sound like I didn't like it ..... actually, I really did, it seems an interesting concept - the whole fallen angel thing.  

If there were any typographical or grammatical errors they were so few that I didn't notice.

I'm looking forward to the others in the series, and given the above I think a 4 star read all round.  Highly recommend for anyone who is in to vampiric tales.

Hugs

Back to Romance for today's selection, except this is a Fantasy/Futuristic/Ghost thing going.

So far it has had one review,but it's from regular Reviewer on Amazon (although a word of caution she tends to award 5 stars to most things).

To judge for yourself if this one has merit you can find it quickly over at Amazon by clicking the large title just above the cover photograph, or click HERE,  As always, please bear in mind that I have no guarantee how long they will stay available for free download, so if you are reading this post retrospectively, you may well have to pay for it - I will review it as soon as possible and report back on it's merits.

This morning that my Amazon Reviewer status dipped even further to 11,407 ... but the good news I managed to finish and review a book, so it might just go up a tiny bit by tomorrow.

I would love to get to the top 1,000 Reviewers' .... so if you find the Daily Kindle Download info useful please go over to my Reviews on Amazon and leave me some positive feedback - which helps my rating, and will earn you my grateful thanks.

Hugs

Kay
