review	Cumoro by Marshall Best, the second book of The Chronicles of Guiamo Durmius Stolo, is an excellent book which will leave you breathless each time you take a break. The action packed, and I mean action packed, adventure is non-stop from page one until the end. The author did an excellent job of moving seamlessly from where the first book ended directly into this story. The storylines continues to develop and new twists are constantly being added. This volume, though best if read with the first volume, can be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone story. I really like how in this story the author weaves historical facts into the mythological folklore of the era and region. Marshall Best is an excellent storyteller and part of what makes his stories so good is his character development. Each of his characters are both believable and real to life which makes them easy to identify with. Not only are they strong and wise as you would expect from a hero, but they each have a humanity which comes out in the story. I really liked Cumoro by Marshall Best and I highly recommend this book to all readers. I recommend you also read the first book of the series, Guiamo, in order to gain the full appreciation of this great series.     [Please note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.]   Click Here to order your copy of Cumoro from Amazon.com Click Here to order your e-version of Cumoro from Smashwords.com

review	Guiamo by Marshall Best is an outstanding historical novel of life and times in the ancient Roman era. It is full of action and adventure plus a great story of the life of our hero, Guiamo. The author did an excellent job of developing the storyline, making it both real and believable. By sticking to known facts of this era he made his story come alive and become all the more believable. There were times I had to remind myself this was fiction. It was easy to follow the story and keep up with each new twist and turn. I really had trouble putting this book down. Marshall Best’s writing style brought the characters to life. He was able to instill emotion and character into each of them making it easy to identify and follow them. I really like a book where you can feel and sense what the characters are feeling and sensing. Marshall Best did an excellent job with Guiamo and I really enjoyed this book. I highly recommend this book to all readers and ages.   [Please note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.]    Click Here to order your copy of Guiamo from Amazon.com   No Kindle No Problem.

review	Action, adventure, excitement, and fantasy, Emily’s House by Natalie Wright has it all. This YA novel will keep you reading and on the edge of your seat throughout the book. The author did an excellent job of putting together a story that was easy to follow but kept you hooked with all the twist and turns in the storyline. The excitement continued to build from the first page to the last. I really liked the fact I could put myself into the story as an unseen character and become absorbed into the story. Natalie Wright did a great job with the characters by making them both believable and real. It was easy to identify with the lead heroine as she grew into the path laid out for her. I really enjoyed Emily’s House by Natalie Wright and I highly recommend this book to all readers and all ages.   [Please note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.]   Click Here to order your copy of Emily's House from Amazon.com No Kindle - No Problem.
