Author Review: Rob Shepherd

Today’s bookish post is going to be a bit different. Normally when talking about an authors work I review the work itself. Today we will be reviewing the author himself!

A while back Rob Shepherd reached out to me asking if I would be willing to read some of his work. Of course I said yes and he was so kind to send over 5 e-copies, a good variety. Now Rob never once asked me to review any of what he sent over, he was just happy to have another reader interested in checking it out. BUT… I am a blogger, so of COURSE I am going to review it.

I read one peace closer to the end of 2019 and really enjoyed it, jump ahead into 2020 and I still had not finished the other 4 pieces. I knew this was not fair of me and I needed to work hard to get some reviews out for him. So…..in the month of April I went on a bit of a Rob Shepherd reading binge. While reading through I thought instead of doing an individual review of each read separately, why not review them and the author all together.

I have had the privilege of getting to know Rob over the last year or so and honestly he is so very laid back, chilled and easy going. He also loves getting to chat with his readers and just getting to know them in general.

Now Rob’s writing style may not be for everyone. He really loves those odd, eerie, gruesome, horror-esk type reads but I myself love them. Also a lot of Rob’s work is short stories or novellas but honestly they are packed FULL of creepy goodness! Each of the 5 stories I read from him got a 4 or 5 star out of 5 stars!

On to the books I read and my individual star rating for each.

Fanfreakingtastic!

In The Hills Above The Gristmill is one intense book.

Kalvin has shown his true talents as an author with this read. Which might I add is book one in a series I am now obviously VERY excited for. On top of this my mind is truly boggled knowing this is Kalvin’s debut novel!

The main character Paisley is absolutely fearless, she’s your ideal modern day paranormal investigator. At the request of the towns beloved preacher Hollis Grim, Paisley rushes to the very small, incredibly odd, extremely unusual town of Grey Water Ridge.

I was devoted to this read from the very first page…. Kalvin’s writing is immaculate. Each character introduced is so unique and different from the next. The story is eerie and the setting is purely chilling. I don’t think I have ever read a book where I was suspicious about so many characters all at once. Not once did I know for absolutely certain who was the true evil in this story….. Well maybe aside from one scene, but I guess you would have to read it for yourself to know what part I am talking about.

Never a bored moment in this book, the story never falls flat. Even while Kalvin provided some history on the town of Grey Water Ridge I was intrigued. Usually (for myself anyhow) when an author is trying to add that extra knowledge and incite into the plot I find it drags a bit. More like excess filler that doesn’t really need to be there and may create the reader to lose interest. That was not the case with In The Hills Above The Gristmill. The history added to the story, rivalries were present even back when and horrible things happened. This information only helps you understand this town and the people in it even more. I also enjoyed the direction Kalvin took while writing this into the story.

Highly recommend this read. I can’t wait for book two in the series….. Kalvin, if you’re reading this.. hurry up! ha..ha. I guess you can call me a big fan of his work!

A ᖴᗩIᖇY-TᗩᒪE ᗯOᑎᗪEᖇᒪᗩᑎᗪ!

The Slug Queen Chronicles is packed full of fairy-tale goodness! From Santa to the Tooth-fairy to The House with Chicken Legs… My son and I adored this read.

Be sure to have your concentration hat on when you read this fabulous series. The Slug Queen Chronicles introduces so many characters through-out and it may get a bit confusing at times but it is so worth it in the end.

S.O. Thomas has created a fascinating world with the most lovable characters. Cricket meets some of the most incredible creatures in this world and the most amazing friendships bloom throughout. I won’t say who our favourite characters were, because I don’t want to give anything away. You will just have to read it for yourself!

The Slug Queen Chronicles has got to be one of the most exciting, vivid, colorful worlds I have dived into for some time. Such a brilliant concept and S.O. Thomas executed it perfectly!

My son and I are in love with this world and all of it’s creatures! We both highly recommend this middlegrade read and are so thankful to S.O. Thomas for sending us an e-copy for review!

YES! This is what I am talking about!

I don’t know about you but growing up I was ghost obsessed. Late on a Friday or Saturday night my family and friends would gather, turn off all the lights, grab a flashlight and creep around the house looking to experience the perfect paranormal moment.

I now get to experience all that same fun with my two boys. It becomes on heck of a great game, on the regular here in our home.

So… what better than a middle-grade where kids are doing just that?!? and they have no idea what they are in for.

When Diana reached out to see if I would be willing to review one of the books from her Ghosters series, I was super excited and I knew exactly who I would be reading it with.

I’ll just put it out there…. my eldest son and I LOVED this read.

Ghosters was exhilarating!

The characters are so well done. Theresa is suffering the older sibling battle after a huge loss in the family and feels she needs to stay strong for her younger brother Joey. Yet she also feels her Dad doesn’t seem to love her as much. When truly she and Joey just have no idea exactly what is going on with their father and his own inner demons he is fighting. Than Joey is this sweet, innocent, easy going brother who looks up to his sister and is so happy to spend time with her. In comes Theresa’s new ghost obsessed friend Kerry to stir up the mix. What a perfect selection of characters!

Diana also kept this middle grade read so gripping by leaving the true reveal till the very, very end. Leaving you to devour this read, needing to know exactly what happens.

Ghosters will have you stir with emotions throughout. Yet in the end Diana pieces everything together perfecting, bringing the whole story together and releasing all of those emotions.

I must add as a mother reading this along side my eldest that I found it very refreshing how Diana not only brought up the topic of loss of a loved one(s) but also notes some mental health. She did it in such a gentle, tasteful way, not to overwhelm a middle-grade reader.

Extremely well done and very entertaining.

We have added the rest of the Ghosters series onto our wish list to pick up in the future.

Currently in the series:

#1: Ghosters #2: Revenge of the Library Ghost #3: Secrets of the Bloody Tower #4: Ghosters go Camping.

Also please note, you do not need to read the series in order. So take a peak, read through the synopsis and see which one will be your first victim!

Enjoy! Happy reading.

Thank you so much Diana for sending us an e-copy to read and review.

We can’t wait to dive into more.

5 out of 5 stars!

Better You Believe is a collection of short stories. All urban legends Tony has come across over the years, while on his own adventures.

Nothing better than the perfect scary story as a kid. What we may not realise at that age, is a lot of the stories that have circled around come from urban legends our parents or family members have heard.

Tony not only brought attention to urban legends I myself had never heard of. He brought them to life, putting his own little spin on them. These are tales that will stick with me for a very long time, perhaps even for life.

These bizarre, creepy, strange stories are very fast paced and will leave you itching for more of each.

Some of the characters are so relate-able and you can’t help but feel emotions along side them, some of these myths will come across very cheeky, but know that there is a good life lesson to learn in each. So be sure to pay attention to the underlining message.

Tony’s writing is so enjoyable. No added filler, no drawn out sections, great story development, the characters are done really well and as I mentioned each story is very fast paced. You will fly through this collection in no time while being entertained the whole time, you may even be shocked by some of the twists that come along.

Yes! Of course I would recommend Better You Believe.

Sour is a mix of some of the urban legends you may have read in “Better You Believe” all wrapped together in one perfect creepy bundle.

The moment I started to dive into Sour I thought… YES! This is it. I wanted more of these stories and I am getting just that.

Sam has to takes some drastic steps to try and rectify a huge loss after some very poor choices but again things may never be the same and might be better off just left alone.

I really enjoyed Sour, so happy I picked it up immediately after Better You Believe. It helped satisfy some of the thirst I had for more on these legends.

Again I would recommend Sour as well! I may even recommend reading them one after the other so everything is fresh in your mind….. Your welcome!

A unique read!

I am a fan of odd, eerie, gruesome reads and The Scrimshaw Worm hit on those themes well.

Your main character, Will seems like a really good guy. He will protect those that just can’t or won’t protect themselves, he also has a soft spot in his heart for some in his life. After a harsh yet passionate act Will’s choices have forced him to serve as a doctor on a Whaling Voyage, even though he promised himself never again. During his journey on the ship they save a women who seems to be a damsel in distress from a dyer situation. Shortly after, crew members start to disappear, some are attacked, some are killed and left for the rest of the crew to find and yet no one knows what’s happening.

The Scrimshaw Worm leaves you antsy to know what or who is attacking the crew.

I enjoyed The Scrimshaw Worm and I am happy I picked it up.

I only have a couple very small reasons why I took a star off my rating and please keep in mind these are my own opinions and you may not feel the same when picking up this read for yourself. These reasons also don’t take away from the story line, characters, plot or Daniel’s writing.

I found the down time in-between the action, although short and not drawn out, was very slow. I wanted to rush through those moments in order to get back to the action. Again this is most likely just me and it may show that the book was well written because I obviously wanted more. Also the down time was not just filler, it was information that was crucial to the story so I had to slow myself down and take it all in. My only other reason was that you got such a strong glimpse of who Will was back on the mainland and a sneak peak into one relationship in particular he held and I found that I missed not having that closure at the end of the story to see how things were off the waters.

All in all I would recommend this read. I think it will be unlike any of the novels you have in your collection currently.

The Beast of Bodmin was absolutely hair-raising!

Edmondson had me hooked from the very first page.

Thrillers are my jam!… but putting a spin on it like this, man or beast? What a ride! Knowing a murderer was on the loose was nerve wrecking enough. Not knowing if it was human or some hungry animal had you at the edge of your seat.

Not only is Mark’s writing so easily devoured but the story and characters were executed perfectly. Your main character, Jo had already been through so much which only made her stronger, while also showing her vulnerable side. Although Jo is about to go through SO much more! This creates the perfect protagonist for the reader. Someone you can truly relate with and start to gain some type of emotions for, causing you to become a bit anxious to see if Jo survives in the end.

The characters that surrounded and supported Jo were also so lovely. This novel is truly character driven in the best way possible.

I found myself constantly trying to crack the case while reading, getting into the true mindset of a detective. At times I truly felt I had figured out exactly who or what was committing these murders. Just as I got to that point there was a large plot twist! This was the real gem of this story! … The Beast of Bodmin never got boring!

This will be a favourite of mine for years to come.

Thank you so much Mark for sending me a copy.

Mark did not request that I review his book but of course I wanted to! So many great things to say.

Can’t wait to see what Mark Edmondson comes up with next!

10 out of 5 stars! (Yes it’s that good)

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!

The Moments Between is positively memorising!

Let me start by saying I have been an enormous fan of Natalie’s work for a couple years now. I have read nearly all of her published pieces and dare I say…I think this is her best yet. That comment alone says it all.

The Moments Between is an incredible concept and Natalie executed it perfectly. Truly gripping, yet notably warming. This is a novel you won’t want to put down but will also be terrified to see how it ends.

We’ve all experienced nightmares before but Claire’s nightmare goes beyond a sleepless night! Claire is constantly living in panic, desperate to find a way to keep her husband alive. This would be torment for anyone, let alone a mom of young kids. You will experience a explosion of multiple emotions throughout. One moment you will be in awe of the charming, incredibly relatable characters and the wonderful life they live. Next you will be holding your breath, pleading that everyone is safe.

If reading about this extraordinary family wasn’t enough, this story is packed full of strong underlining messages. For example; Claire and her sister are extremely different women, one is constantly infuriated by the other while also admiring her beauty. While the other is flat out jealous of the others life in a whole. This is where the message of “the grass is always greener on the other side” comes in. As they work through their differences it creates a stronger bond between the two that is so enjoyable. Claire also experiences such gut wrenching fears that leads her to ask a question that I am sure so many of us had wondered before “if God exists, why does he allow bad things to happen?”

I can’t help but feel that the positive moments throughout this read may be a tiny sneak peak into Natalie’s true life story.

Honestly I could go on and on with my thoughts of this book. You just need to read it! Perhaps this is the perfect read to end 2019 off with.

Thank you so much Natalie for sending me a e-copy to review. I cant help but devour everything you write. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next.

A psychological thriller at its best!

Your Move is intense.

It will have you on the end of your seat and your heart pumping.

Michelle blew me away with her writing style, she did so many things right. Not only did she dedicate the perfect amount of time to the plot, really building the perfect layout for the story line but Your Move is also extremely character driven. It’s not easy to get that perfect delicate balance of both worlds but Michelle nailed it.

Your Move will keep you completely engrossed throughout the whole read. Just as you are getting comfortable and really feel you know where the story is going, Michelle throws you for a complete spiral.

Claire will experience memories of her past or the story may jump from present to the future, yet you don’t get a full view into Claire’s history and why she’s hiding. You get that perfect tidbit here and there… Just enough to keep you gripping on… wanting more.

I admired Claire’s strength! I also adored some of the relationships that started throughout this novel, so heart warming and a large piece of the story you will want to cling onto.

Your Move is everything I could ask for in a psychological thriller. It will really mess with your mind. Be prepared!

Thank you so much to Michelle Young for sending me this copy for review.

Michelle is a Canadian author of two poetry books, Salt & Light (2017) and Without Fear (2019). Your Move is her debut novel.
