If you like the epic struggle between good and evil you will love Turns by Eric Dontigney. This is a fast paced, high action adventure that does not slow down from page one to the end of the book.

In today’s world where magic and the forces of power are everywhere there a few heroes that stand out and Eric Dontigney’s lead character is just such a man. Even though the distinction between good evil often blurs and monsters abound Eric’s writing style makes it easy to follow along. The story is well developed and very believable.

The characters are also well develop and could be your average next door neighbor. The bad guys and magical creatures even take on a degree of reality which leaves you thinking, “What if?” I really enjoyed the way Eric Dontigney delved into the lead character’s mental state. This made him more believable and real. It made it easier to identify with him.

I really enjoyed reading Turns by Eric Dontigney and I highly recommend this book if you like this genre.

One caveat. I do recommend you read the first book of the series, Fails (see my review dated Dec. 2012), before this book. It will help the story flow smoother.

 

[Please note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.]

Kolony by Glynn Burridge is one of those books you cannot stop reading once you start. It is full of excitement and action with a big touch of pure scary built in. The storyline is well developed and easy to follow. Yet, each time I thought it was at a climax it would take off again keeping me on the edge of my seat.

The main characters were very believable, both good and bad. I found myself trying to stay out of the story because of the scariness and evil that was woven throughout the story.

I enjoyed this book and recommend it to a more mature reader as some of the plots were gruesome.

A family canoe/camping trip, an ancient Indian mound, and a mix of historical facts and you have everything you need for a great scare. D.L. Havlin has put it all together in his novel “A Place No One Should Go.” The excitement begins with page one and never lets up.

The storyline is well developed and easy to follow. It is believable which increases the scare factor. If you like to jump at the bump in the night you will enjoy this read.

I found the main characters very believable. These are people you can meet every day. It is easy to identify with them and follow their story.

I recommend this book for a mature reader.
