Amazing In It's Effrontery
THIS NOVEL IS NOT… Your Great Grandfather’s Civil War Novel… To quote a lyric from the musical ‘Hamilton’ – It’s “The World Turned Upside Down.” Because everything you know about the people who caused, fought, suffered and died as the result of slavery and the war – is the same but… WILL FEEL ENTIRELY DIFFERENT when you look through this kaleidoscope of reframed history. Forget all those Comic book Multiverses… and welcome to THE BYER-VERSE!. With a cast of strong multi-dimensional characters that not only weave the story of the Blue and Gray and the disparity between Black and White… but a thought-provoking, incredible work of alternate history – that will spin your perspective by alternating… one simple concept.
The Made in Heaven Trilogy
It will be very obvious after absorbing the first several chapters of Toni Goode’s Whispers of Immortality, that this author’s passion for writing is an integral part of her storytelling. The saga of Finn, a Norseman vampire, transcending to the afterlife and finding an ultimate love pairing that he cannot sustain, pivots to a modern story of Olivia and her deeply driven journey to discover the purpose of her existence. Fans of ‘True Blood’ will enjoy this book and appreciate it’s supernatural characters, attempting to make strides toward acceptance by the mortal world. Finn embodies the complex nature of those immortals who might exploit humans with the powers of the mind and attempt to minimize the horror show. And while this story’s focus is not on blood baths – the darker aspects of what motivates Finn and how he operates.. will keep you on the edge of your seat. And fear not.. or fear, if you must! There is a climactic twist that keeps this story’s blood.… flowing.
The Breedline Series
There is truly something for everybody in Shana Congrove’s Sins of Chaos, part of the Breedline series. My advice to the reader.. is to put some time aside for this novel because once you get to a certain point in this book? You will be unable to put it down. The adventure and the journey are captivating. The author’s descriptive talents will paint a picture of this narrative, with a bountiful and diverse group of characters that range from everyday cops on the beat.. to Lucifer himself. When I tell you that there’s something for everybody - It has romance, mystery, horror, fantasy.. it has a story arc in the paranormal world as several characters, Sebastian and Abbey, deal with past terrors that were inflicted upon them. We get loving and dysfunctional family relationships, a couple of witty angels, comradery, friendship, several incredibly sensual moments, and tense erotic encounters, all highlighted by the pivots between human emotion and the chaotic ‘Breedline’ transitions I am most impressed with Shana’s talent for projecting various human personalities onto supernatural characters. Something that isn’t always done in this genre. And of course… There is a non-stop, roller coaster, multi-dimensional stream of action adventure that climaxes with the ultimate battle between good and evil. This led me to conclude that If fantasy characters are real… a connection to heaven, also reliant on our imagination… is potentially real in the same world.
An American Phoenix: Unity
SQQUUAWWWW! Strap Yourself In Readers, Because once you get to the halfway mark of this action-packed adventure.. you’ll be unable to put it down. Set in what I surmise is a near-future, post-second pandemic, dystopian experiment by the City of Houston, Texas, Andy Savana has given us several thought-provoking conversations. First, a scenario that fosters social change resulting from the unification of our political extremes.. with everyone fighting for the freedom to voice their ideals. At the same time, it reflects on the personal struggles of ordinary people who are drawn into political battles in order to compensate for gaps or losses in their own personal journeys. And then... there is the Phoenix. An incredible piece of .. very flawed technology designed to overstep normal means of law enforcement and put a few dollars in the pockets of its creator. Rest assured, whenever that Squaaaaawww hits your page? You are going... to hear it! And things are going to get chaotic! I like stories with lots of characters. And this one hits the mark. The characters are multi-dimensional, and Mr. Savana truly throws in a cross-section of American personalities from every end of the racial, social, and political spectrum. There is a relevant, underlying theme that takes a long hard look at what is transforming our socio-political landscape today, and I applaud Andy for giving us a fun, action thrill ride.. that also makes us think.
