Engaging Enchantment

Engaging Enchantment
(The Legend of Lord Randall Castle Book 1)




by Beth Durkee



Book review by Jason Moser, Author

Review for Book One of The Legend of Lord Randall Castle posted on Amazon.com: Five of Five Stars



Uniquely Exciting Fantasy!



Engaging Enchantment is the first story in The Legend of Lord Randall Castle series. It is a short fiction fantasy with all of the makings of a great story for all ages.

The Legend of Lord Randall Castle: Book One - Engaging Enchantment is much more than a story within a story. Similar to "The Princess Bride" where the Grandfather is telling his Grandson a story, two children fight over which story their mother should read to them before bed.

Alyssa is promised the story pick next, but Andy, the son, won and requested his mother read his favorite story, again.

So the mother begins to read... The story within the story tells how the Keeper, Barwick, gained his magical abilities and sets the stage for a wonderful series of books.

The stories the parents' are reading are much more than bed time tales; they somehow directly relate to the kids and all of the tales must be read in order for the "Keeper to come".

Though the story is very short, it's well written prose and great characters keep things moving until the end. I can't wait to read the next installment to see where this leads.

I highly recommend reading Engaging Enchantment [Historical Fantasy] (The Legend of Lord Randall Castle Book 1) to enter a whole new world of fantasy.

Three Rules

Three Rules



by Marie Drake


Book review by Jason Moser, Author

Review for Three Rules also posted on Amazon.com: Five of Five Stars


Powerfully Suspenseful, Emotionally Charged Mystery



'Three Rules' is an emotionally charged mystery that will truly touch your heart and challenge your mind. A fiction suspense thriller based on deep seated emotions, you can't help but feel the pain Hope Wellman is forced to contain inside of her for over eight years. The story shows how vulnerable and utterly horrifying a child's life can be when there is a member of the family who abuses that child in ways you can only imagine and use fear to keep the child from telling.

The emotional roller coaster of a life for Hope reaches both ends of the spectrum all in the same breath. One minute she is the happiest girl on earth, the next she is lost in the terror built within and around her through years of unimaginable sexual abuse by her step-father's half-brother, Lucas.

When Lucas Wellman disappears in a boating incident and his body is never found, Hope thinks she can finally find closure for the years of horror she endured. Though she has a sense of relief that her tormentor will never touch her ever again, she is haunted by every sound and shadow; Hope can't escape the thought of what Lucas has done to her and that he may still be out there.

After her best friend, Joey, gets attacked, a good friend attempts suicide, a couple of notes bearing the words "a promise is a promise" (something Lucas had often told her), and two cufflinks bearing the initials L.W. mysteriously show up, the nightmares get worse.

When Lucas shows up at the cemetery where Hope is trying to find her suggested closure and it seems like the typical path for the book is about to come full circle, the real action begins and the perfect twist in the plot happens which you will never see coming.

The deeply emotional feelings portrayed throughout the story and the powerfully suspenseful plot are perfectly written into a non-stop thriller you won't want to put down. It is very organized, well written, uniquely original, and the perfect story for suspense mystery lovers. Three Rules will definitely not disappoint!

The Sword and the Dragon

The Sword and the Dragon (The Wardstone Trilogy Book One 1)

Review for The Sword and the Dragon posted on Amazon.com: Five of Five Stars



Mystical Magic!



The Sword and the Dragon is the first story in a series of three Wardstone books. It is a lengthy novel with all of the mastery of an epic fantasy.

The story starts out like any other typical fantasy novel, but quickly jumps ahead of others in its class with it's brilliantly portrayed characters and creatures within a mystical world unlike any other.

The details and descriptions throughout this story, especially the intense battles that take you right into the scenes, make it easy to envision everything going on around you.

The characterization throughout this exciting story is perfect and you can't help but like each and every one of the unique characters. All of your emotions will be tapped by the action and interaction between all of the characters.

Not a boring moment throughout this long story. The fantasy world is developed over time over the course of the story and it flawlessly leads into the second book, leaving you satisfied by wanting more.

There is a reason this book is in the top 20 best sellers ranking in many categories. Can't wait to read the others books in the Wardstone Trilogy.

I highly recommend reading The Sword and the Dragon (The Wardstone Trilogy Book One 1) for some great entertainment.

Review for Time Killer posted on Amazon.com and Amazon.uk: Five of Five Stars



Definitely Not a Waste of Time!



I read the first two chapters of your book and was blown away. Then I just couldn't get it out of my head. I had to buy it. What a great suspense thriller. I posted a review in both the US an UK Amazon sites for your book.

Thrilling from the a very first paragraph. The explicit details and unique mannerisms of the killer torturing Stephen is wonderfully executed and drills the reader right into the book.

Each chapter has a way of pulling you deeper into the story of suspense and widening plot, forcing you to keep turning the pages to find out "who dunnit" and why!
Larkin and Fairlane set themselves up as great crime solving team for many stories to come (I hope!) It's definitely not a waste of time!

From author to author, great job capturing your readers. Keep up the awesome work. Hope to read more from you.

I definitely recommend everyone checking out Time Killer as I know you will love it just like I did. Great book.

Collision Course Book Review

Collision Course Book Review


Book Two in the 'Black Caviar' Thriller eBook Series

Book review by Jason Moser, Author

Review for Collision Course posted on Amazon.com: Five of Five Stars


Suspense at its Best


Sex, lies, murder, chaos...Lots going on in this exciting sequel of the Black Caviar Thriller eBook Series. The first book introduced the characters; this book connects most of the dots but leaves enough for a great book three.

Daman is upset that he hasn't figured out who conned him out of the six million dollar ransom for Jane. Melvin is still working on getting even with Daman for killing his brother. Now someone else Daman would never suspect wants to kill him for killing her twin sister.

Cruz is more involved in this book. He leaves his wife and visits Daman in Chicago for an extended period of time. Daman gives Cruz and Audreya, Cruz's new girlfriend, a job at one of his businesses.

Cruz also learns what Daman actually does for a living. Even though he doesn't agree with it, he is loyal to his "brother from another mother" because Daman gave him a vital organ to save his life when no one else could. That is, up until he finds out he is being set up to take a fall for something he did to Daman.

Everything comes together at fight night when Daman's fighter is up against Melvin. Poison, guns, police...I don't want to give anything away. You need to read it to find out all of the new twists and turns. This series is suspense at its best and book two is no disappointment.

Don't forget to unlock the Black Caviar Vault at the end of Collision Course . There's a secret you don't want to miss!

All of the Ingredients for a Great Crime Thriller


Revenge, power, money, drugs, hate, sex...'I'm Living But I'm Not Alive' has an amazing range of drama that will keep you wanting more.

The story is about how Dean (who took his brother's name, Daman, after he was murder) becomes the big drug lord of Chicago and how he uses his power to influence the Chicago judicial system to not get caught. There are many back and side stories throughout that build on characters to build an intense story.

Two main characters, Dean and Melvin, are both trying to get revenge and justice for their murdered brothers. Dean's brother was murdered by the Saint Louis Drug Lord and Melvin watched Dean (aka Daman) kill his brother who used to be Daman's West Side Broker. When people betray Daman, you don't want to be on the wrong side of his graces. When he has to be, he's a creative killer with six million ways to kill and has a trademark of smoking a cigar after the job is done.

Daman also has a best friend Cruz (his brother from another mother) with whom he trusts more than anyone. Cruz doesn't break the law and gives Daman advice and helps keep his sanity, but Cruz doesn't know about Daman and his powerful kingdom of drugs.

Before his death, Melvin's brother, Sean, told him that he has to call a number if he was ever murdered and that they will take care of everything. Melvin called the number and an old arch enemy of Daman's (who was almost killed by Daman early in his career of crime) starts infiltrating Daman's organization.

Daman's girl on the side, Jane, gets kidnapped and Daman is forced to pay a healthy ransom for her return. But Daman suspects Jane may be in on the damaging scheme.



I'm Living But I'm Not Alive: Book One In The Black Caviar Thriller eBook Series sets up the perfect ending for a great sequel to this brilliant story. Can't wait to see how everything goes in the second book!

Destiny: Illusions - The Crime of Our Ancestors

Book Review Destiny: Illusions - The Crime of Our Ancestors

Review for Destiny: Illusions - The Crime of Our Ancestors posted on Amazon.com: Five of Five Stars


A Clever Take on Past and Future Humanity



'Destiny: Illusions - The Crime of Our Ancestors' is the exciting fantasy story I've been waiting for. I love space adventures and this one didn't disappoint in the least bit.

There is a superior race beyond those on Earth and Saffron. And it all started with our ancestors. From the detailed scenes to the intriguing characters, and a realistic plot, this story kept me engrossed from start to finish. I particularly enjoyed the when the Earth's Federation battle space ship, Raptor, was unexpectedly attacked by two Peridian ships.

If you like 'Star Trek', you will definitely like this story. Though the ending was a little harsh, you don't want to miss a word. Lots of action, deceit, conspiracy, and secret organizations...but all for good reason.

Very well written story with a different take on the past and future possibilities of humanity. Can't wait to read more books like Destiny - Illusions: The Crime Of Our Ancestors from Daniel Rafferty.
