GRAVE IS THE DAY by MICHAEL DRAKICH

4****STAR Book: Grave Is The Day Author: Michael Drakich Publisher: Knight Romance Publishing Genre: Science Fiction Rating: Mature This is a tale of aliens, spaceships, and the human reaction to the strange and unknown. Mr. Drakich has tightly woven fascination, fear, and curiosity into this story. I felt compassion for the aliens who had the misfortune of being detained by the government and at the same time, admired the way individuals were portrayed. From sympathetic and compassionate, to disgustingly and shamefully cruel, you will love some of the characters in this story immediately and love to hate others. This is only the first paragraph of my review for this book.

SALEM MOON by SCARLET BLACK

Scarlet Black is a pen name. The author’s ‘real’ name is Deb. Deb is an amazingly talented author who writes in the Psychological Thriller, Horror, and Paranormal Romance and Dark Urban Fantasy genres. She has become one of my very favorite authors. Her books are well written with tight plots, lively characters and action and suspense that will have you jumping out of your chair and shouting at the hero or heroine! I have to warn you, though, before you pick up SALEM MOON or any of her other books, you should clear your calendar. Once you start reading, you will not stop until you have read the very last word. Scarlet has a website which you can find here . This site has all the latest information on her release dates and next book. Now, on to the review of SALEM MOON ; ************* This story takes place in Salem, Massachusetts both in the 1600’s during the Salem Witch Trials and also in present day Salem. Gabriel Blackstone is a young man in Salem during the witch trial hysteria. ...

EVOLUTION OF THE FALLEN by MJ GOODNOW

As most of my followers know, my preferred genre is Paranormal and Paranormal Romance. As a result, most of my reviews aren't what one would consider to be "serious". Well, today, this book review is going to be a lot more on the "serious" side. I wonder how many people have or know someone who has a mental illness? When my dad was in his 30's, he was diagnosed with a mental illness called Paranoid Schizophrenia. I am not sure if it is still called by that name now, but it was then. Evolution of the Fallen is about four teens who, after spending some time in a psychiatric facility, go and live at a half way house. Each one has a traumatic event or several traumatic events in their life that brought them to this point. They are all on medicines that are supposed to help them manage their illness on a daily basis. Some of these meds are so mind numbing that, even if they control the disease, they cause the person to become a sort of medicated zombie, if you w...

So here is the thing….I was privy to this story during its inception….I was a Beta reader for Amy Lane, receiving Locker Room one chapter at a time… Being able to absorb this story was wonderful.

At fourteen, and standing at 6 foot one, Xander wandered in the fading light, holding a basketball, dreading to go home. Home was where his crack-head mot...
