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.

Review of BRIGHTSIDE, A Novel

 

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.

 

Go Figure.

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 WICKED GAMES

WICKED GAMES

T.K. LEIGH

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

If you like reading a long Romance novel (424 pages), this is for you. Chloe and Lincoln have a long up-and-down relationship that lasts a few months, but the events are on the same cycle.

They have sex, one or the other has a conflict, then they have sex, more conflicts, and this goes through until there are no more conflicts. This complete story is frustrating with familiar twists and turns, and everything is "Forbidden" except the wicked sex. 

The first and most crucial problem is who Lincoln Moore is and why is he is fascinated with Chloe sexually. She is a loser according to her family, and he is prominent. 

The above is the root of their problems. How they make it to the story's ending is like going through a minefield without the proper equipment.

The story begins in Las Vegas and ends there. And remember, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but not in Chloe and Lincoln's case.

Oh, this is a well-written story expected of a USA Today Bestselling Author. But it was too long for my consumption. So instead, I flipped through a number of the sex scenes.

Review of KICK YOUR FAT in the NUTS

 

KICK YOUR FAT in the NUTS

 

T.C HALE

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

T. C. Hale takes a boring subject and gives it a little comic relief to keep the reader's attention. Unfortunately, the subject is still dull and complicated, but a person who wants to be healthy should read this Kindle free book.

I agree with him on a few ideas. One: stay away from processed foods and cook your meals when possible. I have been doing this most of my adult life. Two: Work out as best you can. A gym is not needed.

My mother, wife, or maid cooked when we had one for the rest of it. So, life has been good to me. I walk and play golf. You?

If life hasn't been that good, and you stop off at McDonald's four times a week plus others, I recommend the insights in this book. A meal of proper unprocessed food will go a long way to keeping your body healthy. And, a walk a day may keep the doctor away.

T.C. has put this well-written subject into a package some may like - a security blanket. However, if you don't need a blanket, the read will help you know what not to do when eating.
