Review of SHIP OF FOOLS

SHIP of FOOLS

How a Selfish Ruling Class is

Bringing America to the Brink

          of Revolution

TUCKER CARLSON

Reviewed by Roy Murry, Author

The Ship of State is Sinking, according to Mr. Carlson, and I agree with his analysis and historical deciphering. He makes his case, names-names, and backs it up with facts that many have forgotten or never knew existed.

At 70 years old, he confirmed to me some of the USA's political background, that I had misinterpreted when said events transpired, because of MSM. Now, using Social Media, I get some of the facts that I would not have received had I continued with MSM only.

I use YouTube snippets to get the news, similar to Tucker's narrative, dabbling into how what is happening with America's division on central social and economic changes.  I concur we are heading in the wrong direction.

Revolution is a strong word he uses to convey crossroads that must be confronted to save our Republic. I agree with him that Americans must wake up to that facts and rectify this discontent with real solutions, or our Republic's continuation is in jeopardy.

Read in one sitting, Mr. Carlson's enjoyable discourse kept me thinking and laughing at the reality of it all, sadly. I'll keep SHIP OF FOOLS in my Kindle Library for a reread.

With all the books coming out during President Trump's first term, I am glad I bought this one. Personal Note: About 15 years ago, I did not care for Tucker's Commentary.

Review of COP OF THE YEAR

COP OF THE YEAR

KATHRYN SHAY

Reviewed by Roy Murry, Author

Set in a High School environment and a community without a gang, Ms. Shay places a police captain in Cassie's classroom as an unlikely experiment in the real world. Out of that, she presents a moving stream of real-world events and relationships that will fare well in a series alone.

The characters are interesting, with the current era development, and plausible situations. The plot rings true with today's youth experiences.

The story flows well in the plot and has a few surprises. There is a love relationship in the making that may influence the outcome of the underlying background of a gang from the city infiltrating Bayview Heights High School.

I am confident that in book two the lovers will join together to stop other crimes. The novel is exciting and emotional but obvious. For a FREE read, it was good enough that I may buy another book of Ms. Shay.

Review of A PENNY for HER HEART

A PENNY for HER HEART

ALRETHA THOMAS

Reviewed by Roy Murry, Author

A friend of a victim of murder, Vanessa, and one of the lead detectives, Rachel, tells the story of Penny's life and the events surrounding her demise. 

Vanessa communicates to the reader, her history of who Penny was, while Rachel delves into the circumstances of finding the killer.

Vanessa and Rachel's path cross at many junctures of this enjoyable drama. Ms. Thomas, in her writing, crosses all the T's and dots all the I's in this convincing character evaluation of a crime and the people close to it.

When the reader reaches the end, the connection between the victim and the killer will be clarified, but who he is and why he did it will amaze you. It is a well-written mystery stand-on-its-own book in a series.

I’ll be back because I love this genre and enjoy the suspense the writer puts into her prose.

Review of WINGS

WINGS of a

FLYING TIGER

Iris Yang

Reviewed by Roy Murry, Author

This story is a compelling drama that shows the brutality of the human race and culture clashes of three: the Chinese, Japanese, and USA Americans. 

Unfortunately, war by Imperialist brings them together in China before the entrance of the USA into World War II.

A Flying Tiger, American volunteer pilots who flew for the Chinese Nationals, has to survive from a battle. He does but with wounds that need time and mending, landing near a remote Chinese village.  

In the horrific events that follow, Ms. Yang weaves a love story of a country, survival, and the people surrounding the protection of the Flying Tiger. The names are not famous, what they do is immortal, where evil loses again.

Jasmine and Jack's adventures, the main characters, may have ended dramatically, but you'll have to read the book to find out. I can say, you will be shocked and distraught after the read, as I was.

WINGS is a swift and emotional read that you will not be able to put down. Take a day off and get ready for a tear-jerking ride.

Review of Winter In Ireland

Winter In Ireland

Montana Sweet Western Romance

Pamela M. Kelly

Reviewed by Roy Murry, Author

Two cultures meet in Ireland. Jen, after a break up with her longtime boyfriend, goes to Dublin to get background for the Romance novel she is planning to write. 

One of the characters lines is the paraphrase, 'All Romance novels have happy endings.' But does Ms. Kelly's Romance novel with Jen from Montana and Ian from Ireland have a happy ending?

All the signs are there except there is one Jen abhors, and that is Workaholics, a trait that Ian has. It's a complete turn-off.

Will his other charming traits, good looks, money, and family, bring Jen around to loving him the way he loves her? Well, it might be the reason to read this original conversational novel of two different cultures.

I bought the book because I am going to Ireland soon. This novel did give me a touch of its world. I was not disappointed.

Review of Sam' Song

SAM'S SONG

A Sam Smith Mystery

HANNAH HOWE

Review by Roy Murry, Author

Sam's Song is a character-driven mystery novel giving the reader a crime to solve, but more importantly a new crime investigator - Sam.  The reader gets a character with whom they can empathize. 

She is a young woman in a male-dominated world out there putting her arse on the line (Story is in England.) Her psychological makeup keeps her from reaching its potential.

However, Sam makes due with hard nose intuitive and cognitive abilities that head her in the right direction. She gets help from a police officer that leads to the possible killers' place.

When reaching that place, what happens next is a cliffhanger. The event culminates with the loss of an ex-husband her current nightmare, the freedom of her client, and a future she believes is unattainable.

Great writing, fast-paced, intriguing characters, and an enjoyable first book in a series that made me buy book two in the series right away. Moreover, I usually don't do that.

Review of The Pixie and the Prince

THE PIXIE 
and the PRINCE

CHARITY PARKERSON

Reviewed by Roy Murry, Author

If you love consensual sex, this gem you will enjoy. This short story will keep you in suspense and then laughing with joy - no dirt here, just fun.

Fantasy is a significant part of this minuet of love. People of one world are fantasizing about lovers in another. When it reaches the climax, all are happy.

The lead up to encounters is teasing to the reader, which I enjoyed. Ms. Parkerson has a way with words that excite a PIXIE into action and will stimulate the reader.
