Review of RECKLESS

RECKLESS

A Mia Kazmaroff Mystery

 

SUSAN KIERNAN - LEWIS

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Mia touches a person or an object and receives feelings. They lead to solving a mystery. Well, not always does she get the right vibes.

Kazmaroff must mean flaky in Russian because Mia is a bit off-the-wall beautiful character who knows what she wants. Her brother is found dead, and she is the only one right to call it murder.

Mia teams up with her brother's detective partner to solve the crime. The investigation goes through many roadblocks, many of Mia's making from that moment.

As a book one in a series, the author keeps the reader engaged. However, I felt something missing, a cement that will keep the characters together through the series.

A good free read. Purchase: https://amzn.to/3Ma8rEU

SAM, I AM

SAM, I AM 

REGINA PUCKETT

Review by Author Roy Murry

The book's introduction to Amazon tells it all. This story is a short, gripping adventure into the dark side.

I have read many of Ms. Puckett's works. 'Sam I AM' is an excellent example of her work as a word spinner.

However, I would have liked to read a more extended version.

Review of The Paris Package

 

The Paris Package

 

A. W. Hartoin

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

This thriller kept me turning the pages. Stella Bled and Nicky Lawrence jump from one frying pan into another on their honeymoon in Europe, going from Vienna to Paris.

They have an object the Nazis want in their possession and will do everything to get it. The brown shirts use lethal force in the pursuit to capture Stella, who has the object and is the main character in this series.

The Bleds of German descent own a major beer factory distribution in the USA and have supported companies in Germany for years. On Stella and Nicky's deadly adventure trying to escape their pursuers, they use those companies as refuse.

But not all goes well, even in Paris, where the story comes to an explosive ending, giving an exciting lead to this series' second book.

Hartoin's writing is snappy and quick-paced. However, a humous side to the story between Stella and Nicky keeps the novel together.

A fun read with essential life lessons interwoven.

Review of San Fransicko

 

SANFRAN--SICKO

Why Progressives Ruin Cities

 

MICHAEL SHELLENBERGER

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Note before review: I was in financial transition in 2002. Progressive friends called me homeless. My book HOMELESS in HOMESTEAD is the story. The links are below if you care to read an adventure.

 I concur with two statements in Mr. Schellenberger’s developing a dissertation on why progressives ruin cities. First, 'The people who bear the consequences aren't the same ones who set the policy.' and 'As such, it is time for us to grow up.'

Mr. Schellenberger writes an excellent narrative about how an individual should be treated as an individual, not as a generic "HOMELESS PERSON." Not all unfortunate people living on the streets are addicts, mentally ill, or criminals.

But, in general, that is the understanding. First, however, Shellenberger goes through the evolution of how Sanfransico and other California cities developed through politics into having a large portion of their population, as they say, homeless.

He gives the pros and cons of each side (Conservatives and Progressives) in solving the problems to eradicate the inhuman situation. But unfortunately, as noted in many of these cases, politics get in the way.

Mr. Shellenberger has his solutions to the problems. I agree with many but feel that politics will always get in the way of real reform.

REview of MURDER SERVED COLD

 

Murder Served Cold

 

Nancy Skopin

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Every once in a while, I go looking for a cozy mystery. Nancy Skopin never lets me down with her invented plots solved by Nikki Hunter. So, I pick a book and read.

In this novel, a friend dies. Is it murder? Well, Nikki goes all out to solve the crime.

With a wealth of well-defined helpful characters, friends, and associates, she gets to the bottom of a situation the police are baffled in their investigation. And, as always, she is put in a deadly situation.

Ms. Skopin's writing brings in the reader and keeps them involved because each novel stands on its own even though it is a book eight in this series.

I'll go back and read another. If you like mysteries, start with the first novel n the series.

Review of ABOVE and BEYOND

ABOVE and BEYOND

 

KATHRYN SHAY

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Adding family values to relationships is not the vogue these days. However, Ms. Shay does an excellent job incorporating the two into this somewhat suspenseful novel.

The Secret Service protects the President of the USA and his family when needed. In ABOVE and BEYOND, a Service family comes together to protect the President's sister.

I found this a little overkill. But, in this story, the family's togetherness brings one of theirs into romantic contact with the President's sister, and it works.

However, too many heroes to follow in the Secret Service family. Book one in a series leaves the author with many options for books two through six.

The prose is corny but fills the romantic's need for a satisfactory ending. Shay's writing is Best Selling level.

I think this is my second Shay novel which pleased me. You should read one.

Review of Bad Vampire

 

BAD VAMPIRE

 

LAUREN DAWES

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

This novel is a fun read because the events within are unbelievable. A rookie, Cat McKenzie, a human, is paired up with Sawyer, a veteran of the Paranormal Investigations Group, and he is a supernatural incubus who loves sex.

While Cat is going through various crazy episodes with supers that Sawyer brings her to investigate, she shines while he seems to be becoming a dud. The main event is the confrontation with the Bad Vampire, who is producing baby vampires.

I like Cat McKenzie's sassy character, the novel's linchpin. But, unfortunately, the story doesn't work without her because the supers in P.I.G. are decorations.

Cat could be put in any novel, and I would like it. If you like WOKE ridiculous novels, you like this - women's rule novel.

Peonies and Peril

Sue Hollowell

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

In many cozy mysteries, there is a corpse and usually a cat prancing around. Chloe comes home to help her mother cook the hotel books, and she brings Max, the dog who does the high eyebrow and prances.

Her mother's nonfriend friend is found dead. So, Chloe, an accountant, suddenly becomes a detective after finding herself in the middle of the investigation. And we know where that will end.

The story is delightful but, at times, was perplexed. Chloe and her style will keep the series interesting.

I enjoyed the nonsensical writing, and you will enjoy the read also.

Review of Soul Awakening

SOUL AWAKENING

The Dacque Chronicles

 

DOUG SIMPSON

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

I thought about this book after reading it before writing this review. First, of course, I realize it is fictitious.

However, the universe connects humans in a way we cannot explain. Why not the soul? But a soul that lives on and reconnects through reincarnation is a tough sell.

In SOUL AWAKENING, the characters have each other in common - they believe in fairy tales and need a reason to live. Again, connection to a faith organization is the need.

Their story goes on and on, snowballing into a cult-like group looking into the past. But, again, the reader is pulled in, and if they do not have other faith base ideas, they will get lost in this fairy tale.

Mr. Simpson has produced a well-written tale that is enjoyable to read.

But this tale is repeated on and on in a series; if you enjoy fantasy, buy SOUL AWAKENING and decide for yourself.

REview of WITCH for HIRE

 

WITCH for HIRE

 

N.E CONNEELY

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Unlike the novel, this will be a short book review. Witch for Hire is a little too long for a book one in a series, with no pull into the next in the series.

Michelle is a young witch, working alone for police departments to solve significant problems, such as the trolls can't be found or a mermaid is in trouble. There are many stories like these within the main one - who is Michelle Oaks?

I have read many 'Book 1' novels, and I believe this book was overdone, getting to the core story. Young adults may enjoy this witch's stories, but people who want a fast read will not.

Many readers will enjoy Conneely's imagination, but she overly defines individual mythological specialty characters. But, again, I believe this was done for the young reader.

WITCH for Hire is not a novel to read in one sitting.

LOVE BEYOND TIME

Love Beyond Time

 

BETHANY CLAIRE

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

A young woman goes back, in time, to when men ruled and women were property. The events are put in place by a Scottish witch named Morna to help save a clan.

Bri, the young woman, confuses the clan's laird with her 21^st Century language and customs. Finally, however, they fall in love with a war brewing because of their nuptials. That is the unusual crux of the story.

The time travel usage made the story enjoyable. However, it seemed unreasonable because of the communications factor that helped events along.

For a book one that is free on Amazon Kindle, the read was worth it. The writing does pull the reader into wanting to read more. Although, I will not.

If you like romance, this is a strange one you may enjoy.

BRIGHTSIDE, A Novel

MARK TULLIUS

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

I found Brightside, a novel, to be a disturbing story. The government confines characters in an environment of their kind - telepaths on a mountain. Does this sound familiar?

The story is confusing and dark. Joe, the main character, is on the verge of a mental breakdown. His misadventures in relationships and misuse of his abilities might drive him over the edge.

There are only two ways for Joe to resolve his predicament - kill himself or get off the mountain. However, his interrelationship with others and nonsensical events lead to an unconventional ending.

Mr. Tullius' writing is crisp, fast-moving, and clear to understand. But unfortunately, Brightside, A Novel is not on the bright side but the dark side of the human mind.

Fuel From Russia

 

End Times? February Rant 2022

 

I moved to Free Florida in the '70s from Massachusetts, my birth State. I was not too fond of the ideas floating around by my political and family members. I worked on a Democrat City project (Family aided appointment) and helped a Democrat family friend run for City Council. My family and friends were Democrats.

I grew up disliking Republicans - our family DNA. Our Italian family was huge, with twelve aunts and uncles and fifty-two cousins.

My problem, or maybe their problem was, I started asking questions. I just graduated from college and spent my time before that in Vietnam as a Green Beret, a specialist in Operations and Intelligence ('69 -'71.)

They didn't call me a racist or a white supremacist. But the cousins and friends who went to college and not to Nam told me they knew better. In other words, we know better, follow don't lead.

I always thought, "Out of the box," looking for ways to make things better. But unfortunately, nothing has changed in Massachusetts. They are still "Woke," the State is called Taxachusetts, and all voted for Biden.

I talked to one Democrat cousin last month, who voted for Biden. She told me the State was importing fuel from Russia, and gas prices increased.

She is eighty-four, so I did not rub it in nor ask questions about Russia and Ukraine or how that war would affect her stove fuel. I just let it go. Old age does that to one. I am seventy-four and writing on Substack and Scribestar.

Review of THE REDHEAD

 

THE REDHEAD

Aleksandar Miljkovic

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

This story seems plausible with recent the United Kingdom and USA news coming to light - wealthy men taking advantage of young women. Present-day (2/16/22), a prince pays twelve million dollars to a woman for his indecent acts while on a junket to a wealthy Hollywood producer's compound.

In this story, Buster, a Miami detective, is asked to help solve a crime in Canada with no details about the crime.

It is a secret that his new Canadian partner Cliff advises him of the sex trafficking of redhead women by wealthy connected men. And, Billy is doing what Billy does well in another part of town - interesting and strange happenstances with his new friend Albert.

The four men evolve in thrilling events that keep the reader waiting for this page-turner to end. When it comes, THE REDHEADS will be grateful, and the reader will be glad they read this well-written novel.

Review of THE GENIE ACADEMY

THE GENIE ACADEMY

 

KARIN DE HAVIN

 

Review by Roy Murry

 

An interesting concept put into a novel - a genie college? Edmund's family wants him to be a lawyer.

Their big mistake was hiring a Jin as a tutor, or does the genie pick the family? Whichever, Edmund is in for a life-changing adventure.

What happens in the academy stays in the academy. Edmund learns this and much more.

This fun book keeps the reader laughing about the trials and errors of a young man going to school. He gets in trouble with the headmaster, falls in love, and is taunted by his Genie/Tudor and classmates.

The novel is well constructed for a first in a series for young adults.

Review of A RECIPE FOR LOVE

 

NICOLA YEAGER

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

DELICIOUS is a word to describe A RECIPE FOR LOVE. This novel set off endorphins in my mind when reading about the Christmas menu prepared at Carol's Bistro.

 Ms. Yeager is either a French Chef or has done excellent research in writing this fun novel. According to their accountant, Carol and her partner, Roksana, own a Bistro in London that needs an uplift.

But it's Christmas time, which for Carol is a time for a lover's depression moment. So, she cooks dinner for her mother to explain the situation and then listens to her reply - In this case, 'mother knows best.'

Carol gives into a Christmas affair with Roksana and their staff. The games begin with the Bistro, menu, and all. The transition is hilarious to read about, and if you are a foodie – DELICIOUS.

Review of Book 1 in Poppy McGuire Series

  

 

THE ELEVENTH HOUR

The Poppy McGuire Series

 

ANNA COLLINS

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Poppy is a grown-up Nancy Drew, except her father owns the only bar in town. She teams up with a town outsider, Alex, a young retired detective.

A wealthy woman is strangled in her home, and the police believe it is a robbery. Poppy disagrees, believing that the person who killed her was someone the woman knew.

The case moves in Poppy's direction when a neighbor mentions that a man came to the murdered woman's door in the eleventh hour a few nights a week and the night in question.

Poppy and Alex investigate further when she thinks it's one person and Alex has his doubts. Unfortunately, the killer is closer than they think when a deadly event happens to them.

This novel is personality-driven with Poppy, the narrator. A little too detailed for me, but it works with uncomplicated writing.

Poppy will get better at investigating in the series, and I will most likely read another in it. Good Read first in a mystery series.

The slow pace to the end is a killer.

Book 1 The Fea Games Series

An Urban Romance

 

JILL RAMSOWER

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

With a B.S in Art, Rebecca is at a dead-end job in New City, living with her best friend, Ashely. All changes when her dream job opens up at the Ulster Museum in Belfast, Ireland. They travel to Ireland to check it out.

Rebecca's life unravels into something she could not phantom from day one to end this Feary journey. A necklace around her neck, which she never takes off, is the key to her dilemmas - she is a Fea?

In this journey, characters define the happenings of a world within a world. Two Fea men are trying to screw her mind and body.

To call this an Urban Romance is a misnomer. There is no romance in this novel. However, there is an image of it from Becca.

Ms. Ramsower's writing is fun to read because of its imaginary factor. If you as a reader enjoy fantasy, I recommend the series.

However, fantasy is not my cup of tea.

The Dying Citizen

 

THE DYING CITIZEN

 

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

THE DYING CITIZEN is the third book (Check the book list of Blog) that I have read by Mr. Hanson because I enjoy expanding my intellect as limited as it is. You should also if you care about the USA and by participating as a citizen.

Victor Davis' development of a historic citizen, leading to what a USA citizen presently is, brings up questions the reader will mull over in his mind. His composition flows through six chapters of detailed information many have forgotten but will recognize.

From peasant citizen to bureaucrat of Roman to the USA's present situation of government leaders wanting us to be part of a Globalist society, this book leaves the reader in a dilemma - figuratively revolute or not. Use every means possible to engage with our Washington politicians.

Mr. Hanson's explanations define clearly with observational writing as to where the present USA citizen is today. You do not have to be a Ph.D. in history or psychology to understand where he stands as a citizen.

The reader will need to decide if you are A DYING CITIZEN and want to do something about it.

THE AURA

 

CARRIE BEDFORD

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

I rate this paranormal mystery at the top half of my read ratings as far as mysteries go. The read has some good elements, mainly Kate, but falls short on the suspense side.

Kate's reading of auras is the central item driving the story based in England. However, I did not get the 'English Feel' in this story that I have felt in other novels backgrounded there.

The book is the first in a series and gives the reader a reason to move on to book two. Kate is developing her abilities in understanding her auras and could lead to interesting situations.

Lastly, the storyline was different, making it somewhat enjoyable, so that I may go on and read another in this eight-book series. You should read one of Carrie's books during a vacation.

LILY FOSTER

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Tom and Darcy go on a rollercoaster romance ride during their college years. If you've been to college, you understand it's where one makes essential life decisions.

The peaks and troughs are many on this ride because each leads the main character off the rails. But, unfortunately, each makes the wrong evaluation about the other's standing. 

The last one includes a life-changing for all the families involved. The conclusion is not what one would expect in a romance novel, but the reader will like it.

Ms. Foster seems to be writing from experience. If not, the development of the story and characters are well-produced. The prose is enjoyable but lacking in the tear factor.

The Great Reset

THE GREAT RESET

How Big Tech Elites and the World's People can be enslaved by China CCP or A.I.

CYRUS A. PARSA, The A.I. Organization

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

The title is a mouth full as well as the Parsa's content of multiple RESETS. So, I'll give you a few: Ethical, Bio-Digital, and Grid Infrastructure.

Mr. Parsa starts with A.I. definitions. I didn't know there was more than one. The reader might agree.

It's scary to think A.I. technology and advancements are available to nefarious people as the CCP. However, western civilization must meet the challenge.

The summary presented will pique the reader's attention, hopefully motivating government leaders into action. If we don't, the CCP will take over most of the world, leading to a stand-off.

Mr. Parsa's book is a well-written description of what humanity has to look forward to enjoying. I am sarcastic, but this is mind-blowing stuff.

According to the author, if only part of the RESETS happens, humanity is heading into a tailspin. If you didn't know, Cyrus A. Parsa predicted the COVID 19 scenario in another book.

Review of ELF KILLERS

 

ELF KILLERS

 

Carol Marrs Phipps and Tom Phipps

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Firstly, my friends, the reader must read the glossary to get a rhythm of Trollish language. Otherwise, you may be irritated by what many Trolls are saying.

Then delve into this fast pace fantasy of two imaginary being types. The Elves are compassionate, intelligent beings, and the Trolls, are brutish war-loving individuals who enjoy eating elves.

The appearance of being true or accurate of these beings comes through in Phipps' writing. The reader will laugh at the antics of the Trolls and will feel the trauma of the Elves.

Elf Killers is a multi-level composition of good versus evil—unfortunately, that theme has been used to death in novels. However, Carol and Tom Phipps' twist engages the reader's curiosity, leaving them wanting more.

That is why I have read three of their novels.

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

ALIEN meets Cowboy in the 1850s; what could go wrong. Mac, the alien's new name, intermingles with Texians.

He and his partner go from rags to riches buying land near Mac's spaceship that he wants to operate but needs an education on earth to do so. This endeavor leads our man from another world through conflicts of the wild west and the USA Civil War.

Because of his alien being, Mac is different than most men and has secrets that he only allows his loved ones to know about - his spaceship and its contents. Finally, after a long relationship, his partner and his wife are allowed entry.

The three survive many traumas leading to other conflicts that lead the reader into Book 2 of this chronicle. Many questions Mac and his earthly friends are left open.

I didn't think I would like this novel, but it was so well-written I overlooked the fictional theme. I read little of the Cowboy or Sci-Fi genres. However, Ms. Collier’s writing may have convinced me to read more of them.

Review of THE STRANGE DEATH OF EUROPE

 

THE STRANGE DEATH OF EUROPE

 

DOUGLAS MURRAY

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

'When you allow unvetted mass immigration into your country, the world's problems become your problems.' is my takeaway from this well-researched book on how the globalist in Berlin and Brussels (EU) destroyed nation-states in western Europe.  England, France, Italy, Germany, Sweden are the center countries of Murray’s arguments that have collapsed in identity, socially, demographically, and economically.

For me, this is an indictment of failed politicians (Globalists) who feel they know best for other countries. They do not consider the clashes of cultures, Islam vs. Christianity psychologically. The integration of humanity will take of that.

Mr. Murray makes excellent points on what I just mentioned and more, leaving the reader with PERHAPS... Maybe profoundly ingrained beliefs, over centuries, will change.

The arguments, pros, and cons about religion, mass migration, refugees, and national pride are profound. So, as I, the reader, will stop, take notes, think, and want to know where the world is heading.

Born in the USA, I am concerned with its new unvetted mass migration and refugees from Afghanistan arriving daily. If you are also, you should read this book.

LEEANNA MORGAN

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Tess, an ex-model, owns a small-town cafe after a traumatic event that still possesses her. Logan, a veteran war reporter, moves to the town and, for a year, is smitten by her.

She does not like reporters. At this point, the educated reader knows they'll get together. Each has its horror stories that collide in the relationship that lead to confrontations.

Romance lovers will love the characters, but the storyline has too many backstory gaps, which they will overlook. However, these genre lovers will enjoy the tit for tat of Tess and Logan's relationship and forgive the holes in the story.

Because ALL OF ME is well-written with interesting characters, I recommend it to all Romance Lovers, using Kindle, to read the series. All others beware.

Review of SAGE ADVICE

SAGE ADVICE

Lives and Maxims of Some 

of History's Wisest People

 

RICHARD K. BORDEN

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

SAGE ADVICE is a collection of thoughts for the INQUISITIVE MIND. These thoughts or maxims make your mind go into a tailspin.

From Ptah-Hotep of Egypt to Gandhi, eighteen of Borden's wisest people’s short biographies and advice in thoughtful phrases are well organized. Fortunately, the book layout divides the bio from the maxims giving the reader the luxury of not being confused or trying to know who said what.

With each biography, the reader will see the evolution in thoughts over the thousands of human existences. The maxims, if read slowly, quietly, and separately, will lead the reader to self-evaluation – always a good thing.

You don't need to be a philosophy or a psychologist to read SAGE ADVISE. However, you should be a thoughtful person with an Inquisitive Mind a la Murry's Readers Are Leaders.

A well-written collection.

Review of The POWER of Your Subconscious Mind

The POWER of Your Subconscious Mind

 

JOSEPH MURPHY

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

I started reading this book in 2008 and pick it up every day to remind me that life goes on and I can change how I see it. Murphy's book did change my life; I will not go into details of how.

But this book, combined with ‘How to Be Idle,’ can do that for you.

See review: https://bit.ly/2UVt81K.

It would take all day for me to explain what I mean. YOU NEED TO READ THESE BOOKS.

Murphy goes into detail on how our human minds work and how we use them. What we read, think, and profess goes into our subconscious mind and stays there.

You can change what goes in your mind by following proven methods given within. Do it today before it’s too late.

A computer maximum is "Garbage in; Garbage Out," and according to this book, the same is for your subconscious mind. So, therefore, I agree with Joseph Murphy 100%.

That is why I recommend this brilliant book.

DOGMAN #1

 

Dav Pilkey

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

It is a fun book with illustrations of Dog Man and his nemesis Petey, a cat, of course. Who else would irritate a dog?

Petey is the mastermind of most of the city's crimes. Dog Man is a policeman who goes after the criminal of somewhat stupid crimes.

One crime stands out for me. Petey deletes all the WORDS of the world. It is incredible and hilarious how Dog Man solves the crime. I am happy to say Dog Man promotes reading in the adventure.

The reading is simple, and the illustrations are funny. Dog Man series is a good one for your nine to twelve-year-old.

I read it on my kindle, black and white. But, my ten-year-old grandson has a book, which is colorful, and he loves it. So, I will see how many he has in the ten-book series and buy him the rest.

DOOM

The Politics of Catastrophe

NIALL FERGUSON

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

This profound history of every disaster you know or think you know - from wars, volcanoes, famines to plagues. Mr. Ferguson writes the story's factors one would not think existed.

The depth of each disaster's background is disturbing and not in any history books printed about those events I have read. I am 73 years old and have read much history.

In Niall Ferguson's written words, "the central point of this book - that all disasters are at some level man-made political disasters, even if they originate with new pathogens." His explanations of those horrendous events in history bring the reader to the present day.

While living in lockdown, he proposes why the Asian Flu 1957-1958 is similar to the COVID 2020 and shows the political and network differences at the beginning of the events. In some of his detail, the reader will agree with, some not.

However, his arguments are worth reading if you have an Inquisitive Mind - One of my top 10 reads of my life.

Review of BED and BREAKFAST an MURDER

BED and BREAKFAST and MURDER

Fiona Fleming Cozy Mysteries #1

PATTI LARSEN

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

If you love Pugs that fart and follow you around, this book is for you. Fiona or Fee returns to her Vermont hometown because she inherited her grandmother's B&B and her pug; and because she was running away from a bad relationship.

Soon Fee finds out the business may not be hers from a despicable man. That person is found dead in the B&B's garden the next day.

Fee's family is a ‘Police.’ one, and she feels she should have been a detective, as her father was the Sheriff of the town. So, she does the sleuthing of the crime against multiply confrontation with the new good-looking present one.

Fiona does upset many in the small town leading to an explosive ending with an unlikely suspect. Truthfully, the reader should be able to follow the clues as the pug does.

Ms. Larsen's writing is cute and humorous but not the best cozy mystery I have read. Her character Fiona is the only character you will want to follow if you decide to read the series, which I recommend for fun because she is a character.

Review of TROUBLE TRIANGLE

 

TROUBLE TRIANGLE

Bk#1 Tyler's Trouble Trilogy Series

 

TRAVIS CASEY

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

“Oh, what a tangled web we weave...when first we practice to deceive.” Sir Walter Scott. This quote is appropriate for what happens after Tyler's USA Navy deployment in Hawaii.

Based on a bet with his roommate, Mark, he pursues a young lady, Holly. At the same time, he is enjoying the company of another woman, Debbie, who has a secret connection with the first.

Tyler's past life catches up with him, and he becomes connected to Holly, both physically and legally speaking.  Debbie asks Tyler for a sexual favor, and he complies. Both wrong moves, according to Mark.   

The relationship games begin becoming an emotional rollercoaster ride for all in the TROUBLE TRIANGLE. That triangle leads to an explosive ending which the reader will not see coming.

Mr. Casey's writing is crisp, easy to follow, funny, and at times vulgar. His characters, especially Tyler, come alive in an adult romantic comedy.  

I believe Book # 2 will have some more foot-in-mouth adventures.
