PRINCE IVAN, A. WOLFE & A FIREBIRD : BOOK REVIEW

By -



BLURB 

Dear Reader,

What do you get when you combine a greedy Great Tsar, his two cheating, bullying older sons, his youngest esser (shh! no saying that aloud) son, stolen gold apples, a Firebird quest, A. Wolfe who has the power t’assume a pleasing shape, a magickal sandstorm, as well as two bands and a full Symphony of Gipsumies?

A rollicking, roisterous Russian Fairy Tale, with vigorous esser activities in tents, halls, bedrooms and alcoves, with and without the assistance of PSTs. Plus princely parades, a duel over Gus, new lyrics to an old drinking song, and the possibility of bits of blood, gobs of gore or moments of mayhem. As required by CORA (the Code of RFT Authors), should these occur, your author will give you timely warning.


REVIEW

This tale follows the story of three brothers who are crown princes that have to prove their worth by each completing a task.                                               

As the embark on their journey, they each face obstacles in their path they must overcome. 

I quite liked this contemporary spin, based on an old Russian fairytale.              

The author's writing style was unique and unlike anything I read before.                  

I loved the humorous and sarcastic undertones infused into the storyline.              

The world building was beautifully designed and I was completely immersed in this folklore.

If you are in a mood for an interesting bardic tale involving a greedy Tsar, three crown princes embarking on a journey to prove their mettle, stolen golden apples, a Firebird quest and a shape shifting wolfe, this mighty interest you.


ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Eric is an American Midwesterner, and as Lady Glenhaven might say, “He’s old enough to have sailed with Noah.” In the real world he writes for a living, with those who would claim what he writes is fiction. His partner of thirty years—who died unexpectedly in 1995—enthusiastically encouraged him to try to get his writing published (mostly poetry back then, plus some short stories), but he didn’t have the guts to do so until 2013. At this point he’s not sure which was officially first, The Song, or Like a Mountain, Waiting.

Starting then, he’s published 13 novels and novellas, 1 poetry collection, 2 short story collections, and 3 short stories. God willin’ and the crick don’t rise, 2020 will also see The Tinderbox out and about. But since real life is, as we all know, a pain in the (anatomical site of your choice)...no guarantees.

  BLURB   I knew the instant I saw him he was meant for me.  I feel like the focus of my life took a hundred-and-eighty-degree shift.  I couldn’t stop thinking about him.  He became my obsession…my descent into hell.  Damn. I couldn’t be sure who the monster was…him, me or my enemies.  My heart and mind will defy all logic but he doesn’t know that.  I’ll do anything for Dillon. He defines my destiny and I will fight for his survival. Our fates are sealed.  I shall not wait any longer.  REVIEW   This book is unlike anything I have ever read. I don't want to give much away, so I won't go too much into detail about the story itself. I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading this, but let me tell you, I was engaged from the very first page. The twists and turns will keep you guessing and at the edge of your seat. The characters are real, relatable and well fleshed out. I liked that this was in dual POV as we get a perspective of what's happening in the minds of bo

  Just Friends (A Never Just Friends Novel, Book 1) by Saxon James BLURB Roo Five years ago, I walked away from Sunbury, Oregon, and left my best friend behind.

MAX BY BEY DECKARD : AUDIOBOOK REVIEW

By -

 BLURB Fresh out of school, Dr. Crane takes on a new patient who both intrigues and unnerves him. Charming, manipulative, and amoral, Max has exactly the sort of mind Crane finds himself drawn to with fictional characters. As Max weaves himself into Crane's life, Crane realizes that while fiction might be safe, Max certainly is not. When the professional line between them thins, who gets to define where one man ends and the other begins? REVIEW This was deliciously debauched, twisted and so very messed up but I loved every minute of it. Nick Russo knocked it out if the park with an Oscar worthy narration and audio delivery. I am left speechless after listening to this. It's psychologically twisted, manipulative and a tad creepy. Max was an interesting character for sure and he was so well written and well fleshed out. If you are in the mood for something different and so very depraved, give this one a go. Grab yours here
