Interesting werewolf twist!

Kevin is your typical teenager dealing with life, school, sports, friends and of course a girl! One day a couple wolves escape the local zoo and Kevin doesn’t think there is any chance he will come by them… until he does and one of them attacks!

Shortly after the attack Kevin starts to experience changes with his body. He becomes more aggressive, more agile, he has so much more strength and all of this contributes to being better in school sports. Kevin has an ideal of what is happening to his body but searches for more answers.

I enjoyed Keelan’s concept on werewolves and the angle he took with how they come to be. I also enjoyed the journal/documentation format Keelan put in place with Kevin’s best friend as well as a doctor Kevin comes into contact with later on in the story, discussing and leaning more about the changes his body’s going through. Keelan was extremely bold with the end of this read, this is where the blood and gore truly came out and Keelan was even willing to kill off some strong characters. This is not easy for an author to do because you don’t want to anger your readers but you also need to keep them on their toes and keep that excitement.

Although in the end I was searching for more of the horror aspect. I wanted more werewolf, more blood, gore… more screams! I found the lead up to this to be very long and the majority of the story was around Kevin and his feelings towards a girl he adores who doesn’t see him in that way and is dating other guys.

I wouldn’t say this book is amazing or mind blowing. It certainly has some neat ideas to it and the ending went out with some true intense crazy! However if this is a glimpse into Keelan’s writing from 4+ years ago than I am certainly intrigued to read more of Keelan’s work knowing he will have grown as an author and had a bit more experience with it all.

Keep up the great work Keelan!

4 out of 5 stars!

A great young adult fantasy with a unique concept.

Now a days it’s truly difficult for authors especially when writing in a heavily popular genre and reading age. Finding something unique to the story, something to keep the reader engaged and wanting to read on. Almost every story has been written; so what can an author do to set it aside from other fantasy reads, to make sure it’s not just a clone of the book it sits next to on the shelf. M.L. Greye found a way with Of Rioters & Royals.

At first I thought “Hm… eye color determines your abilities?….So blue is this and brown is that…?” Man was I wrong. M.L. went into a bit more detail than just one color. Even the flecks of different colors in your eyes can choose a mix of abilities .. all depending on how many colors you have blended into those eyes of yours. This concept pulled me right in! I couldn’t help but want to know the characters and what abilities they may have been blessed with.

The story started off with destruction; the world felt a lot like what we are dealing with in today’s life. Sickness, disease, isolation, rationing, desperation and more. The only tiny, slight problem I had with this read was the story started out with chaos and than slowed right down until we got closer to the ending where it started to pick up again.

Now I understand world building is crucial for an author! Introducing their readers to this world they have created (especially when its a series, not a stand alone) the first book or two is the authors chance to set the world up, introduce the characters and this can tend to slow the pace of the read down. This being said, it didn’t take away from the read or make it bad in any way. I just wanted a bit more buzz.

Emory and Declan are fantastic characters! I love how Declan is out to betray Emory but finds out that it may not be as easy as he planned and Emory may have an idea of exactly what is going on. Their connection in the story is something to cherish. As the story goes they become closer, more connected and in ways that they could never have expected. Of Rioters & Royals is pretty romance heavy and rightfully so. If romance is not your thing, you may not enjoy this read. Although I say it’s still worth giving it a go since there is so much more to the story and you may just devour it.

Thank you so very much to M.L. Greye for sending me an e-copy to read and review. I look forward to seeing where their story goes from here in book two.

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.

Perfection! An anthology at its best!

Autumncrow is packed full of eerie goodness. Each story is so incredibly unique, some with a sweet underlining story that turns dark… others with a down right horrifying feeling throughout.

Chaney has created a bone chilling setting with some of the best characters. Each story will sink its teeth into you.

I couldn’t put Autumncrow down. Something about Cameron’s writing… I was completely immersed in this fictional town. One of the best parts was none of these stories were predictable, each had such an element of surprise.

I don’t think I could even tell you if I had a favourite, they were all so vivid and intense. Maybe my only negative to say is….. I just wanted more.

Cameron has impressed me yet again. I can not wait to see what he comes up with next.
