review
Helios (book 2 of the Universe Eventual series) by N. J. Tanger is an excellent example of good science fiction. It is full of intrigue and non-stop adventure.

I really like N. J. Tanger's writing style. This is the second book of the series I have read and I was not disappointed. It flows seamlessly from book one into the book and the adventure just grew more intense. The book is full of plot twist and turns and you have to keep up are you will be left behind. I really liked reading this book.

It was fun watching the characters grow and mature as the series progresses. You can see there strengths and ambitions come out in this book.

Helios by N. J. Tanger is a great book and I highly recommend this book to all readers. I would recommend you read the first book in the series, Chimera, before you start Helios, are you may be lost.

review
Dimension Lapse by Nicholas T. Davis is an interesting science fiction novel. It moved at a steady pace.

I did not like this book which is unusual for me. It was part of a set of books I received so I pushed through it. I felt the book lacked depth and maturity. I just could not get into it. The scenes lacked imagination and the sense of reality needed to make sci-fi come alive.

It also needed a good dose of editing. This made the book hard to read and follow along.

The Bones of Odin by David Leadbeater is an outstanding book which grabbed me and would not let me go. From the very beginning it was full of non-stop action and adventure.

This fast paced novel never lets you catch your breath. The author has done a great job of developing a tale that is full of plot twist and turns which makes you dig ever deeper it the storyline. The author's style of writing makes the tale come alive and his realism puts you into the story.

I really like the cast of characters developed by David Leadbeater. They were very realistic and easy to believe in. They too came alive which made them easy to follow and get into their tale.

I really liked The Bones of Odin by David Leadbeater and I highly recommend this book to all readers.

I know; I usually don't review cookbooks but when I received this book and thumbed through it I could not help myself. It immediately transported me back to my grandmother's kitchen with the sights and smells of great homegrown cooking from the garden.

I have found so many recipes that she use to make and I can't wait to try them all. With 240 recipes in the book, I will be eating good for a long time to come. A great example is when I saw corn fritter cooked in lard I knew I had a "real" country cookbook.

I highly recommend this book to cooks and cook-what-a-be's. This will keep you happy and satisfied for a long time to come.

Chimera by N. J. Tanger is an excellent science fiction adventure that is full of intrigue and mystery. I really enjoyed getting into the characters and storyline.

The author has developed a tale that is captivating, catching my interesting and pulling me deep into the story. The author's storytelling style brings the book to life. With frequent plot twist and turns it is hard to put this tale down.

N. J. Tanger has brought together a group of characters that are so different yet so real that it is fun to watching them grow together. I like the depth and realism that has been instilled into the characters making them easy to identify with.

I really liked reading Chimera by N. J. Tanger so much that I have already got the next installment in the series, Helios, and will begin reading it soon.

I highly recommend this book to all readers.

Constricted by Becca J. Campbell is an excellent novella that will make for a great evening of reading. It is especially good after having read her book, Empath, and bringing the characters to life.

The author has a unique storytelling style which pulls you into the story and helps you identify with the characters. I really like how it was so easy to follow the story and feel the emotions of the tale. Her characters have depth and realism which I like in a modern fantasy novel.

I really enjoyed reading Constricted by Becca J. Campbell and I highly recommend this book and her book Empath (see previous review from August, 2013).

If you like an action packed space opera then you need to read Behemoth by John Walker. The fast paced adventure will leave you gasping for air.

The author has put together a tail that is so intriguing that I had trouble putting it down. The action is non-stop and the constant little plot twist kept me on the edge of my seat. I really liked John Walker's storytelling style. His writing made the story come alive.

The characters developed by John Walker were very realistic and easy to believe in. The heroes seemed like people you could meet and like. This made the storyline even better.

I really liked Behemoth by John Walker and I highly recommend this book to all readers.
