Review of OUTLIVE

OUTLIVE

The Science & Art

of Longevity

PETER ATTIA, MD

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

OUTLIVE is a non-fiction, with many medical terms sometimes slowing the reading. However, the information within is understandable and usable to ward off what Attia calls the four Horsemen (Sickness) that plague humans.

Your health via exercise, nutrition, sleep, and mental health can slow the human death rate. In narrative form, Dr. Attia lays out the norms and highs of each area with personal and patient history so that you can understand where you are on life's spectrum.

He does not recommend medicines and notes to check with your doctor. All his remedies are within one's reach with serious due diligence.

Peter Attia's Healthspan and Lifespan dissertation is worth the read if you care about your health.

REview of EVERY WITCH WAY BUT GHOULS

EVERY WITCH WAY BUT GHOULS

Magical Misfits Mysteries

K. E. O'Connor

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Zanda, the witch, has a familiar cat named Juno who runs the show. This novel is a cat's world from the beginning to the end.

Yes, there is a mystery of why a human's head got blown off, but that is not what keeps the story going. All the other misfit characters, from hellhounds to ghouls, give flavor to an ordinary plot.

The conversations are cute and sometimes provocative. But overall, this is a funny story of how animals run human lives. In this case, Juno runs Zanda's life.

The background and craziness of the misfits is a well-written beginning of a series - too crazy for me. If you love cats, this book is for you.

Review of THE BROKEN VIOLIN

THE BROKEN VIOLIN

The Early Path Series, Book One

M.B. TOSI

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Sweet, delicate Abigail Bosworth has a robust and Godly mind. She is wealthy but left alone in the middle of the American Revolutionary War with the death of her parents.

As a sheltered person all her life, she is prey to the evil character of some man. Abigail is confronted by such a man after the death of a friend, bringing deadly conflict into her life.

Praying is a significant part of Ms. Bosworth's life (Bible and inspirational quotes are inserted in the story). She foils off her instigator many times using true religious grit.

Then, another enemy lies close to death, literally on her doorstep. It turns her situation right-side up - it is an Indian. A Christian relationship begins that completes Abigail's broken life.

M.B. Tosi proves why she is a best-selling author in this novel.

Review of Commitment

COMMITMENT

T.K. LEIGH

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Brook and Drew fall in love. The problem is she is going on sixteen, and he is soon to be nineteen, going off to college.

Drew makes a promise to Brook but cannot keep it because their fathers stepped in. However, Brook has no idea - he promised.

That is the end of romance. No one tells Brook the truth. Ten years later, nothing has changed.

The story goes back and forth - Brook's comments and Drews comments on how they love each other. Still, no one tells Brook the truth; she has another man who loves her.

This story is not a romance novel. It is a relationship story gone wrong.

T.K. Leigh does write good conversations and pulls the reader into book 2 of this series. However, I had enough of Brook and Drew's B.S.

This novel is for you if you like entanglements that go nowhere (Nouvelles).
