Trying the Knot by Todd Erickson

Title:  Trying the Knot
Author:  Todd Erickson
Published:  October 2nd 2013
Length:  294pgs
Format:  ebook
Genre:  romantic suspense
Shelf:  review
Rating:  ★★


Synopsis from Goodreads:

The Eighties are dead! And maybe a bridesmaid too. At the dawn of the Nineties, six recent college grads reunite for a hometown wedding. On the eve of the ceremony, the bride's stepsister sleeps with the groom and then overdoses on pills. Tying the knot without a hitch? Not likely, for this crew.

Adult-content rating: This book contains content considered unsuitable for young readers 17 and under, and which may be offensive to some readers of all ages.

My Review:

This story was definitely well written and edited. Erickson’s straightforward writing style put everything in front of you in plain language. I found that this story jumps around a lot, especially while getting started. Even further into the story the same thing occurred. There was just nothing that fully drew me into the story itself. Anytime I started to get interested the story would jump around again and I’d be popped back out of my immersion.

I appreciated how you got to know the characters of this tale on many levels. You got to know them in the past and present, alone and as a group. It was intriguing to see the interrelationships between them. I may not have agreed with what the characters did or said, but the way that they were developed allowed you to see where they were coming from at every point in time.

Author:  S.P. Miller
Published:  April 4th 2013
Length:  35pgs
Format:  ebook
Genre:  BDSM romance
Shelf:  bought
Rating:  ★★

Synopsis from Goodreads:


When innocent college graduate Anne flees to sunny Los Angeles, she was expecting to escape an out-of-control relationship.

She ran away to put the past behind her, to forget about the man who needed to have everything and pushed her too far. During a night that was supposed to help her forget about her former flame, Anne discovers that you can never truly escape the past.

Charles Donahue, her mysterious, charming ex-boyfriend, shows up when she least expects it...and when she is completely unprepared to deal with the consequences of her actions.

Finally holding the key to unleash his darkest desires, Charles begins the process of completely possessing Anne...and punishing her for her indiscretions.

Adult-content rating: This book contains content considered unsuitable for young readers 17 and under, and which may be offensive to some readers of all ages.

My Review:

Miller started this story out with a captivating storyline and easy to follow writing style. That said, I felt like the moment the story itself began it was over. Miller is definitely one of the authors who as jumped on the ‘serial’ publication bandwagon. Also, I found myself wanting to know the characters; however there was very little character development at all within this novella. Pretty much everyone remained simply a name on a piece of paper. Although quite well written and a brilliant start to the story she has broken a single novel into so many parts that it is no longer a viable read.

Passion Eternal by Jenn Sawyer

Title:  Passion Eternal 
Series:  Passion Eternal #1
Author:  Jenn Sawyer
Published:  September 13th 2013 by Muritoria Publishing
Length:  169pgs
Format:  ebook
Genre:  contemporary romance
Shelf:  review
Rating:  ★★


Synopsis from Goodreads:

Tina Shawn was nine years old when she developed an uncontrollable crush on Brad Anderson, who was two years older than her.

Now, seven years later, the boy who has held the key to her heart is moving out of Cleveland, Ohio. It spells the end of her dream. But little does she realize that their paths will cross again. Except that finding her dream again only gradually throws her into a state of confusion as conflicting events unfold.

My Review:

The short, choppy paragraphs and chapters in this story make you feel like you’re jumping forward in time. Throughout I felt like I was separated from the story. The more I tried to identify with the plight of the characters the further away I felt. I spent a great deal of time wondering what was happening, but then, so did the main character. The story itself also could have used another run through by an editor.

The characters in this story are fairly well developed in a unique way. You get to know parts of them very well, while other aspects remain a complete mystery. It left me with a rather odd feeling. The supporting cast was there to ensure that the storyline continued on its forward flow. They provided contrast to the main characters.

Take Me to the Castle by F.C. Malby

Title:  Take Me to the Castle
Author:  F.C. Malby
Published:  December 2012 by CreateSpace
Page Count:  253
Genre:  Historical Romance
Shelf:  Review Copy
Rating:  ★★

Synopsis from Goodreads:

The door opened slowly, and she could see the outline of five men standing in the corridor. Her room was far enough away from the figures for no one to notice her nose pressing into the door frame. She was aware of her own breathing and tried to slow it down, slow down her heartbeat until she was invisible. The idea in these moments is to be completely invisible. There were a lot of invisible people in Prague, doing invisible things to other invisible people.

What would you do to secure your own freedom?

February 1993. Walls between East and West have dissolved, following the Velvet Revolution of 1989. It is a harsh winter in the newly formed Czech Republic, but the nation celebrates. Arriving in Letovice, Jana is trying to escape a personal loss and come to terms with the changes in her country and in her own life. She stays with the Martineks and meets their son, Miloš. When he leaves Letovice and she travels back to Prague, she encounters a deep and shocking betrayal. Jana meets Lukas, a conservator working on the restoration of a mosaic at the Cathedral of St Vitus. But who is he and what is he hiding?

An evocative portrayal of life during the fall of communism: It is a sometimes heartbreaking tale of deception, distrust and the need for redemption in the aftermath of a regime in which no one can be trusted, not even someone you thought you knew.

My Review:

This is one of those historical novels that is accurately and believably placed in the intended time period. The audience isn’t left filling in political or historical pieces of information. The beginning of this story jumps around a lot to give the audience some background information. It makes the story a bit hard to get into. That said, about a quarter of the way out the story began a smoother progression, allowing me to get into the story some more.

As a reader you can accurately picture the landscape that surrounds the characters. Malby’s depiction of the surrounding areas makes this very easy and pleasurable. Her physical descriptions of everything encountered makes you feel as if you’ve actually been there. Her descriptions also have a dark overtone that leads to the heavy feelings that are present in many of the characters. As an author she does a very good job of evoking empathy, sympathy, and even shock in her readers.

I really appreciate how you really get to know the histories of the different characters. That said, I found that you don’t really get to know them as people. You know where they’ve been and what they’ve been through, but who they are remains a bit of a mystery. It’s a bit of an odd feeling.

Overall, this was a well put together but heavy read. I must say, however, the ending left me wondering. What exactly was the letter?

Stealer of Horses by Loretta Jackson & Vickie Britton

Title:  Stealer of Horses
Author:  Loretta Jackson & Vickie Britton
Series:  High Country #3
Published:  November 13th 2012 by AmazonEncore
Page Count:  164
Genre:  Mystery
Shelf: Review Copy
Rating:  ★★

Synopsis from Goodreads:

The famous Carlo painting Stealer of Horses sells for cash in a small Wyoming town and gallery owner Sheldon Spence gives the $200,000 to his wife, who walks over to the bank to make the deposit?and never returns. A witness claims to have seen a frightened-looking Susan Spence in a battered old Chevy, speeding out of town. And each succeeding clue reveals a different angle on her disappearance. Sheriff Jeff McQuede begins to wonder if this is more than a simple case of kidnapping and robbery. Was Sheldon involved in Susan's disappearance? Or did Susan and a lover fake the scheme, planning to run off with the money they stole from Sheldon? The identity of a victim found shot behind the wheel of the Chevy holds the key to one ominous question: Is Susan Spence a kidnap victim ? or is she part of some sinister ploy?

My Review:

This novel was an interesting look at the life of a sheriff in a modern day small town. It gave an insightful look into things that are dealt with on a daily and not-so-daily basis.

The storyline behind this novel is well thought out and put together, it’s just a little slow throughout. It does speed up at the end and they give the novel a very good wrap up. The story itself also has a consistent pace and flow, but it doesn’t quite seem to mesh with the storyline itself.

There is minimal character development in this novel. By the end I felt that there were very few characters that I knew in more than just name. Although the authors did a good job with the characters that were ‘mysterious’, they seem to have developed the ‘well known’ cast members in the same fashion, leading to lack of character details.

Overall, this was a quick, well put together read that had a flare of the West.

Andrea at the Center by J.P. Kansas

Title:  Andrea at the Center
Author:  J.P. Kansas
Published:  February 8th 2013 by Pink Flamingo Publications 
(first published 1994)
Page Count:  212
Genre:  Erotica
Shelf:  Review Copy
Rating:  ★★

Synopsis from Goodreads:

"You're going to here at the Center for a few months. It's going to be the most enlightening experience of your life. When it's over, you'll be returned to where you taken from—a different woman."

Young and beautiful Andrea is, without warning, whisked away to a secret location, where a mysterious group devotes itself to the pursuit of sexual enlightenment through the use of many sensual techniques. Gradually, she's introduced to the ways of the Center by the people that gladly occupy it. Her sense of self and her understanding of sexuality are profoundly challenged, leading her to a new understanding of herself and the deepest sexual satisfaction.

Andrea at the Center, previously published by Masquerade in the 90's, has been fully revised with titillating updates for our Pink Flamingo readers! J.P. Kansas will thrill you with his stunning tale of straight, lesbian and gay sex, bondage, exhibitionism and all sorts of sex toys and dolls! The excitement does not stop there, however. Andrea's experiences are sure to arouse every fetish; from spanking and collars to threesomes and voyeurism. Andrea at the Center has everything you want in an erotic novel and more!

Adult-content rating: This book contains content considered unsuitable for young readers 17 and under, and which may be offensive to some readers of all ages.

My Review:

This story definitely has a WTF factor, but OMG is the writing ever vivid (and it’s causing me to write in IM). There are certain scenes that definitely draw you in, but the story becomes a bit repetitive. It’s one of those stories that you can pick up at any point and read from there without having missed much of anything. It’s a brilliant read if you are looking for n erotic story that you can breeze through without having to think.

The very minimal character development in this novel makes it really hard to get into the story. There’s no history or personalities to work with. I know character development in erotica stories isn’t paramount, but as a reader I need something. Also, at times the author begins to give personal details about a character or to develop them, only to stop part way through. The author also seemed to do the same thing with the story line itself. At times she would flip away from the erotic portions to begin telling the storyline that wound throughout, only to stop part way through. I think I spent more time trying to figure out what was going on than enjoying the story. By the end I still didn’t really understand the overall picture.

I will say this. The story was well written and edited. The author’s tone and writing style draws you in and she’s not afraid to tackle the unapproachable or taboo subjects. A final note on this story, although it is almost strictly erotica, there is an overwhelming sense of acceptance throughout. Nothing and no one is ostracized for their preferences. Everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) is accepted and even encouraged.

The Automat by Christina Martin

Title:  The Automat
Author:  Christina Martin
Published:  September 2012 by Smashwords
Page:  198
Genre:  Psychological Thriller
Shelf:  Review Copy
Rating:  ★★

Synopsis from Goodreads:

"One man's obsession starts with two eyes."

The Automat is a story of a mild-mannered introvert named Horace Gray, who slowly descends into madness after he becomes obsessively enamored with a woman who stares at him from behind an automat wall.

The Automat is a fictional story exploring the dark side of human nature and the innate desire of being loved. It is a story of unexpected change in the routine of one's simple life, of obsession, guilt, and the consequences of betrayal. The Automat will appeal to readers of literary fiction with dark undertones.

Adult-content rating: This book contains content considered unsuitable for young readers 17 and under, and which may be offensive to some readers of all ages.

My Review:

This novel gives a real look into everyday life with a twist, a really dark and rather twisted twist. Martin does this with her solid writing and off the wall descriptions. This is an extremely well written novel with a coherent and easy to follow storyline. That said, I spent a great deal of time just saying WTF, just WTF. The bulk of this stems from the fact that the writing style doesn’t really match the storyline. Martin has adopted a light and flowing writing style, well suited to a YA story, and told a very dark and twisted tale with it. The writing style draws you in very quickly and then clashes with the subject matter causing a bit of a vortex that I could neither get into or out of.

Being that this story is well written in the 1st person it is very easy to see the world from the main character’s perspective. You get to know him quite well through this. That said, at times there is almost too much detail in his day to day activities. You get caught in the mundane.

Overall Martin has an interesting manner of writing that keeps her work flowing forward. She is a phenomenally descriptive writer who tells you about each and every thing that is encountered in the story. Combined with the unique storyline this is definitely different from anything I’ve read in quite a while.

Lightpoints by Peter Kassan

Title: Lightpoints
Author:  Peter Kassan
Published:  March 25th 2013 by Melange Books 
(first published March 24th 2013)
Page Count:  218
Genre:  Paranormal Suspense
Shelf:  Review Copy
Rating:  ★★

Synopsis from Goodreads:

What if you suddenly discovered you had a sense—and powers—that almost no one else in the world did?

When Amanda Lindner Nichols, a 24-year-old graphic artist living with her husband in Queens, New York, is revived from a near-death experience, she discovers she perceives everyone around her as points of light—but not with her eyes. She soon learns she can not only perceive the life energy of others, but she can give and take it. With the help of others like her, she brings her husband Chris to the brink of death and back to bestow on him the same remarkable faculty, and they’re the happiest they’ve been.

But not for long. All over the world, people who’ve been revived from their own near-death experience at just the right moment discover themselves with these same unusual powers. They find ways to use them—some for good and some for evil. When Amanda and Chris encounter a ruthless group of gangsters with the same faculty, tragedy follows—and Amanda faces the greatest challenge of her life.

My Review:

Kassan has an intricate yet clearly laid out writing style. There is a sense of urgency to the story, like everything should come to a head. From the very beginning I found myself wanting to figure out what would happen next and how everything connected. The author flips between the stories of many different characters with similar stories, and keeps the who’s who clear all the while. Unfortunately the different storylines don’t really intertwine. Even at the end when some of the stories begin to intertwine, the bulk of them remain completely separate.

The author has created a large cast of characters, each at varying points in their development. Very few of the characters have a solid background, but many are well developed in the present day. You get to know them on a certain level. There are many areas where the author begins to develop a notion regarding a certain character or couple, but doesn’t bring it to completion. Unfortunately the author spends time developing some characters that have very little to do with the main storyline. This time might have been better spent on further development of the main characters in the novel.

Overall, I really wanted to like this story. The concept was really trippy and the characters were memorable but there were just too many unrelated storylines that didn’t fully incorporate with the whole.

Elephant in the Room by Diana J. Febry

Title:  Elephant in the Room
Author: Diana J. Febry
Published:  Wingsepress,inc (first published January 1st 2013)
Page Count:  362
Genre:  Suspense
Shelf:  Review Copy
Rating:  ★★

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Penny Jackson is slowly re-building her life after the abrupt end of her marriage, when she falls in love with the charismatic hotelier, Robert Carver. When dark unspoken family secrets start to surface, Penny has to re-evaluate everything and rely on her own wits to stay alive.

My Review:

This was definitely a unique story. Febry tackled some very, very difficult topics with tact and grace. She wound them together into a conclusion that I couldn’t have imagined in my wildest dreams, and she got us there in a fairly natural manner.

I found that Febry used some very long winded descriptions, almost to excess. Don’t get me wrong. They were brilliant, and you can picture exactly what Febry is seeing. Unfortunately they seemed to take over the story. Overall, the story did still have a coherent flow but you were about 2/3 of the way through the book before anything really happened. There was so much time spent on setup that by the time the story actually began to take off there wasn’t quite enough time for it to redeem itself.

Character development in this novel threw me for a bit of a loop. Some of the characters were developed extremely well. You got to know a great deal about them. You got to know them as real people. Others, however, seemed to be little more than names on the page. They fulfilled their purpose but as a reader you never got to know them.

As a whole this was a very perplexing story. There were some very disturbing moments, yet also many thoughts and actions that redeemed humanity. Unfortunately I spent much more time trying to figure out what should be happening than I did just enjoying the read.

Tia's Folly by Elly Helcl

Title:  Tia's Folly
Author:  Elly Helcl
Series: Path to Destiny #1
Published:  July 25th 2012
Page Count:  306
Genre:  Paranormal/BDSM
Shelf:  Review Copy
Rating:  ★★

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Tia is the oldest Druid apprentice...ever. Unable to advance her rank until she learns to speak to the Gods, she is shocked when the Gods appoint her as the leader of the peace talks.

Promised to another, she struggles to understand why she finds herself drawn to the most feared man alive: the Phoenix Warlord.

Determined to do the right thing, Tia leads herself down a path of dead-ends and wrong turns. As the mistakes keep piling up, she discovers that in life, sometimes the right decision can ultimately be the wrong one.

Adult-content rating: This book contains content considered unsuitable for young readers 17 and under, and which may be offensive to some readers of all ages.

My Review:

This was a quite well edited and very unique novel. It flows nicely from one section to another. The author also makes minute changes in her writing style to differentiate between the multiple moods and tones that one feels while reading this novel. This really accentuates various events and characters. Helcl also produces some phenomenal descriptions. I can picture this world without even trying it was laid out so well for me.

The cast of characters in this novel is quite diverse. There were many defined races with rocky relationships between most of them. Personally, I would have like to have seen a bit more character development. I found that some of the characters were quite superficial. Other than their immediate tasks or challenges in the novel, there was very little to them. The only character with a fairly well rounded development was the main character, and even so there were many times where I found myself wondering ‘why’. Knowing where she came from and more about her personally and her personal history would have helped with that. Not only would further character development have helped me, as a reader, identify with the characters, but it would have also solidified the storyline a little more.

As a whole this was a very memorable story. I found myself drawn in; wanting to know more about everyone and every place that was mentioned. I am looking forward to diving in to the sequel to find out more about this world and its people.

Between the Moon and Shine by Lori L. Clark

Title:  Between the Moon and Shine
Author:  Lori L. Clark
Published:  November 3rd 2012 by Lori L. Clark
Page Count:  338
Genre:  Young Adult Paranormal
Shelf:  Review Copy
Rating:  ★★

Synopsis from Goodreads:

When fifteen-year-old Bobbi Flowers wishes on a falling star for a summer to remember, rescuing her twin brother from Trogs and meeting a sixteen-year-old boy who claims he's over half a century old isn't what she has in mind.

When her brother is kidnapped from Grandma Moon's back yard one night, Bobbi sets out to find him. Armed with her Louisville Slugger (to wallop those creepy Trogs into the next county) and a jar of peanut butter (in case she gets hungry), her search leads her through a portal in the woods to The Overthere -- and Michael. He's sixteen going on sixty and wants nothing to do with an outsider. When Bobbi saves his little brother's life, Michael reluctantly agrees to help her. It becomes a race against time when Michael tells her that each night she spends in The Overthere might mean years -- if not decades -- will pass before she returns to her home in Shine. Staying fifteen forever doesn't sound like much fun and going home decades in the future doesn't either.

My Review:

Between the Moon and Shine was a very original and quite well written novel. The supernatural concepts in this story were very well developed. The reader is completely immersed in the world and all that comes with it. The world in which the twins find themselves is very vividly described and definitely larger than life, as it should be as an Otherworld. Clark’s descriptions are definitely fitting for this novel. You can picture almost everything as clear as day (or night....).

The main characters are fairly well developed. You find out who they are, but not a great deal about their histories. The author tends to dwell on certain aspects of the characters while almost skipping over others. I also found that many of the minor characters remained quite superficial. Some were little more than a name. However, the different supernatural species encountered were quite well developed. You got to know a great deal about the races and what they tended to do. I am also a little perplexed as to the role of the dog in the story. It tended to disappear and reappear at random, without actually serving a purpose.

Despite the many great aspects of this novel I found it very hard to get into. I also found myself questioning the actions of the characters a few times. As a whole, it was a brilliant introduction to the Overthere. I am very interested in the route that the characters will take in the sequel and to learn more about the Overthere.

Elijah's Conquest, Vol 1 by June Spears

Title:  Elijah's Conquest
Author:  June Spears
Series:  Elijah's Conquest #1
Published:  October 24th 2012 by June Spears
Page Count:  192
Genre:  Paranormal Romance
Shelf:  Review Copy
Rating:  ★★

Synopsis from Goodreads:

He met his fate at the young age of only seventeen. Elijah Fitzgerald, sets out to find the one person who changed his life. He finds his conquest fueled by the lust and hunger of his innermost desires, far beyond his wildest dreams.Will he ever find "The One" who will tame his ways forever?

Adult-content rating: This book contains content considered unsuitable for young readers 17 and under, and which may be offensive to some readers of all ages.

My Review:

My first thought about this book upon completing it was that it is your stereotypical vampire meets human love story. It had some twists and changes, some of which were very unexpected, but as a whole this is what it was. It is a great lead in to the series as a whole, and hooks the reader on to the possibility of what is to come. The way that Spears managed this was brilliant.

The major characters in this novel were quite well developed. With the way that they were brought to life through the pages of the novel, you could always see where they were coming from and understand their actions and reactions. The minor characters were just there. They could have used some more development, and hopefully this will come in future novels in the series.

Spears uses some amazingly vivid descriptions that make everything seem extremely real. This includes the paranormal aspects of the novel. She manages to portray the outlandish events and aspects of a vampire in a manner that not only makes them seem possible but very plausible.

I think that my biggest issue with this story is that it jumps perspective way too often. At times, it happens from sentence to sentence and then back again. It was very frustrating because it really prevented me from immersing myself into the story.

I’m very intrigued to see where this goes with future installments. There were quite a few things that had me quite intrigued and wanting to know where they would lead. Although I was a bit iffy about this book on its own, I’m dying to see what the sequel brings (no pun intended....).

Esmerelda by Judith Leger

Title:  Esmerelda
Author:  Judith Leger
Series:  Witch Mountain
Published: October 25th 2012 by Pine Wood Press
Page Count:  43
Genre:  Paranormal Romance
Shelf:  Review Copy
Rating:  ★★

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Widow Glory Sinclair and her daughter are living a quiet life on the mountain homestead her family settled nearly three hundred years ago. Then, on a crisp autumn morning, a fractured shriek echoes across the hollow, and Glory’s temperamental handyman claims her prized statue carved from a tree trunk attacked him. Could a wooden likeness of a witch who died centuries before take life? Glory doesn’t think so. Still, mouthwatering sheriff and bachelor William Moore’s decision to hang around and get to the bottom of the increasingly frequent strange occurrences provides her a degree of comfort. Her growing desires to find comfort in his bed…not so much.


My Review:

This story was definitely one of a kind. I don’t think that I’ve ever read anything that comes quite close to the storyline of this short story. It was very refreshing in that way.

The writing style that the author employs flows well from one section to another and from one place to another. I found the writing style to be slightly simplistic based on the type of story that the author was telling, but she made it work well. The story itself however was a bit stiff. I found myself spending as much time trying to fill in the blanks as I did enjoying the story.

I know that it is very difficult to fit details into a short story, making it even more difficult to choose a topic of writing. I found that with this story the tale of Esmerelda was mingling with the budding love story. Because of this all we know about the characters is their names. Even with this being a short story, they should have had some substance. Perhaps had the author written about one or the other I would have been able to immerse myself more fully into the story.

Voodoo by Samantha Boyette

Title:  Voodoo
Author:  Samantha Boyette
Published: September 10th 2012
Page Count: 80
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy
Shelf: Review Copy
Rating:  ★★

Synopsis from Goodreads: 

It starts with a car crash.

Alyssa Jacobs wakes up in another world, lost and disoriented. When she meets Stephen she learns she's in Crescent, a mysterious world of nightlife, mobsters, and magic. The two band together in hopes of finding their sisters and a way back to the real world they only vaguely remember.

Inspired by the CD Voodoo by Alexz Johnson, this young adult novella is a quick romp through adventure and mystery.

My Review:

This novella begins with a brilliant portrayal of a car crash victim coming in and out of consciousness. Boyette has an amazing grasp of the subject and the portrayal was very real. It was also very well written. The sections flowed together nicely, without gaps and jumps. The story itself was also quite different. It had the potential to keep the reader captivated had it been further developed.

Unfortunately, you do not get to know very much at all about the characters. Even given the fact that it is a novella, the reader should get some feeling as to who the character is. I also cannot picture the world in which the characters found themselves. There was a lack of physical descriptions in this novella. Those descriptions that were present were phenomenal, allowing you to picture the subject perfectly, but in general, descriptions were lacking.
