Her Unexpected Roomate

HER UNEXPECTED ROOMMATE

A Bulbs, Blossoms & Bouquet Romance

Book 1

LAURA  ANN

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Genni and Cooper are in a difficult situation. They each own half of a mansion their grandparents willed them in an ocean tourist town in Oregon.

Cooper, driven by a yearning for a fresh start, embarks on a journey across the USA to claim his rightful half. However, Genni, steadfast in her resistance to change, remains unmoved.

She wants to run a bed and breakfast, her life’s dream; he does not. The battles begin.

So starts the hate-love romance, interrupted by another event they have no control over—a tax collector. They now become partners looking for a solution, with Milo, the puppy Coop, biker, and mechanic, brought home.

The following events lead to a plausible ending with the help of friends. However, there is too much fluff in the story's events—they are overly written.

Laura Ann's writing is cute and entertaining, but it is not a good

lead-in for a series. This novel is a stand-alone long read.

SPELLS and SPANIELS:

A Witchy, Cozy Paranormal Mystery

Familiar Spirits Book 1

CHRISTINE POPE

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Salem witch Charity, a renowned familiar whisper, is approached by a new witch client, Darla. She seeks Charity's expertise to evaluate her familiar, unique Cocker Spaniel named Milo, who mysteriously remains silent when spoken to.

While in Charity's care, Milo does not speak until Darla dies, which a Chicago detective reports to Charity via telephone. From then on, unusual events reveal the real reason for Milo's silence.

Milo is attacked and then kidnapped. Charity goes into investigative mode, leading to a crazy ending.

Ms. Pope's writing is crisp and enjoyable. She leaves the reader with a hook that kills a romance, an underlying theme a romantic may want to pursue in Book 2 of this series.

If you are a romantic and want fun, purchase Book 2 because Book 1 is free on Kindle.

Review of "god is not Great."

"god is not GREAT."

How Religion Poisons Everything

CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS

Review by Author Roy Murry

This book, penned by a renowned atheist, delves into the problematic aspects of all ORGANIZED RELIGIONS, a stance I agree with. I became a reformed Roman Catholic at the age of thirteen.

Hitchens attempts to destroy the collective illusions of monotheist organizations by describing their histories, hierarchy, and dictatorial systems. His arguments are full of realism, demonstrating that living a good life without these faiths is possible.

His narratives are long and interwoven with examples of Religions' poisonous edicts to control humans countered with logical results. Hitchens uses the books/stories of those organizations to show how ridiculous they seem.

His conclusions are worth reading if you have an Inquisitive Mind. This long, detailed read will stimulate your mind.

Murphy's Luck

MURPHY'S LUCK

BENJAMIN LASKIN

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

"Anything that can go wrong will go wrong." Murphy's Law does not apply to Murphy's Luck. Everything around Murphy is a disaster; at age eight, he is confined to his home because of circumstances beyond his control.

In his twenty-six years of confinement, Murphy's life takes a dramatic turn. Thanks to the internet, he becomes famous, wealthy, and productive. 

But no one has seen him. Yet, his unpopularity in the community forces him to leave his hometown, embarking on a journey that leads him to a monastery.

En route, a bus catastrophe happens, and Murphy heads for the beach for comfort and separation from people. He meets a young woman, saves her life from two calamities, and becomes attached because of her persistence.

Murphy's journey is a whirlwind of confusion and excitement, involving his new friend Joy, Joy's boyfriend, Detective Brock, and many other characters. It is a cluster of crazy events that could only happen with Murphy's uncanny involvement.

The reader will be thankful for the adventure when all is said and done. The reading is one sitting, enjoyable, and fast-paced fun time.

THE VISITOR

THE VISITOR

A Post Apocalyptic Murder Mystery

TERRY TYLER

Review by Author Roy Murry

A deadly outbreak plagues the world; a mere touch from a dying person seals your fate. Before this grim reality, a visionary uncle bequeaths Sarah a residence in an English village, complete with an underground bunker stocked to the brim with provisions and modern essentials, a last bastion against an apocalypse. 

The event arrives, and Sarah and her somewhat associates begin their life in the village. People worldwide are dying in multitude, with only a few lucky ones vaccinated against the curse - the new world order.

Interwoven into this plot is a killer of the underserved—they are deleted, according to THE VISITOR. Finding who this person is overshadows the plague.

The village members are leaving; food is getting lesser and lesser, water is rationed, and people are being murdered. Tensions arise among the villagers to an explosive ending that surprises everyone, including the reader. 

Ms. Tyler's prose invites the reader into an end-of-times thriller that will entertain the mind to the end.
