Veldt Hunter

A well woven tale of the people of the veldt, balanced on the whole I thought as to the general issues of the time.

Many stories have been writ about the resources of vast areas of the world susceptible to warfare and affray, this one not the least.

16 Faces

Recommended by the author, this story doesn't disappoint. So much empathy for the scenario is triggered by the sheer talent of the writer. Kudos! Keep reading, everyone you won't be sorry.

Sleeping Prince

Five Stars isn't enough! It will be easy to get hooked on this group of stories

Cellar City Chronicles

The bottom feeders who prey upon those least likely to succeed deserve all the attention, energy, karma and consequences that only a protagonist like X can dish out.

ABC - The Confession

Law Enforcement post pandemic, societal reset with higher technologically enhanced support characters gives this storyline a Gamer's imaginative angle I've not seen before.

Ironwood

Ironwood reads with a special blend of medieval type chivalry and the genesis of a pantheon. It has well defined antagonists, and a milieu of evolving nations to keep the interest of anyone inclined to follow the young leader and his growing band of enablers.

Or Else She Dies

Labeled complete, but well worth the time to read this "Episode" of what could become one of the best I've seen all winter. Here's hoping the author won't have become disinterested in the character, and will return someday to write more.

All God's Orphans

I read this at the end of the first year of an international pandemic situation, in USA. Elements of the story feature harbingers of how an epic failover sorts out in its after effects, with the strong theme of a Dystopian scenario adding a backdrop to the confusion of the people.

Five stars for the concept, the location settings, and the strength of characters. Four because I couldn't keep an accurate timeline going, and no valid cause of the origin of chaos was put forth directly, or explained.

This storyline was intriguing with the denouement set at NORAD in Colorado, and I found it interesting that the Mormans were on site to defend Cheyenne Mountain.

The author's final solution included elements of redemption on earth, cessation of violence, and a lot of hope for basic humanity. Well done, and thank you.

The Statue Moves

Philitimo - Greek, translates to 'Love of Honor'
And fitting that the author would have chosen those long ago Grecian athletes as the template for modern competitors' attempts to transcend ever higher benchmarks towards perfection.

Quebracho

Gritty protagonists like this one appear so seldom that one can only hope the writer will never stop finding and expressing all those things the rest of us could never accomplish.

Code Blue

One of the things I didn't expect from this writer, is the sense of confidence I got early into the story, that my reading experience was in good hands and I could just relax and enjoy the story. It is a hallmark attribute you often see in serial best sellers, and part of why multitudes of people line up for every new book!

Polowan!

Polowan! Excerpt was written to establish a backstory for the character. Her five hundred year effort to obtain redemption from a powerful Ute Indian god called Senawhav will have stories set in the historic Gold Mine District of Colorado USA.

Historically, Ute Indians would have visited some hot springs located here, although feisty older locals deny any such possibility.

Traders, Indians, railroad people, miners, dance girls, Chinese, Irish, all these types of people are often depicted in Old West television series, nothing new here in Polowan's general back story, except we don't hear of Chinese Indian pairings as a historical feature in any of the Native American Nations's descriptions of their times with, for, or against newcomers of the 1600s - 1800's.

In the late 1800's this area took more gold in just several years than the Alaska and California gold rushes combined.

Steam engines replaced much beloved teams of donkeys (watch for SteamPunk storyline).

Trains brought tens of thousands to the area, brought in timber, bricks, blasting supplies, steam engines and of course relayed millions in gold back off the mountain. (watch for gold heist storyline)
It is feasible Chinese track layers could have been here.

Tour guides tell us that there are enough tunnels (known as drifts) and shafts to stretch to the Pacific Coast of USA if laid out in a row... (Watch for underground action, like 1000 ft below the surface type underground).

We know of one current independent privately held mine currently at very far lower than that, and Cripple Creek has discovered even more gold. They will be going down five miles.

Polowan's story is important to our perceptions of women of her era, to our current relations to Colorado Native Nations, to our perceptions of what we've done to the environment here, to what our goals might become as our own era of time takes it's place on the historic timeline.

Faithful

You know how you read one thing by an author, then another, then several more then you realize you can absolutely trust the writer to deliver the goods.

Vertigo

The people who serve and protect freedom aren't just storybook characters, or hard shelled sociopathic mission oriented overachievers.

This story goes a long way toward leveling that perception.

Outlaw and the treasure hunter

Authentic treasure hunting, a great story of a famous gem and the outlaws who had it.

When He Loved Me

Well said, this heartfelt story perfectly suits the expectations of readers as they follow the wrenching decisions of the story's people. To us they are, indeed people, not just made up characters.

Only The Stars

Diverting, a lovely tale of friends and magical love

Until My Last Breath

As USA reader I struggled to reconcile the location with the characters' vernacular. But finally just imagined it as Lake District UK, so then was able to enjoy the story of a young lady going through sadness, new love reKindled and now I am having fun imagining her long exploring trip with her mother as they travel touring.

Melting Ice

A lovely story which I am saving to read again a couple more time at Christmas! Thank you author for writing this reminder that one should take opportunity to love when the real thing comes along.

Terrible Truth

When people in your life for all your life aren't what they should be, how close really are the true blood ties

Imposter

Charming, tender, respectful of the historic manners and mores of the times, this story has become one of my all time favorites.

Cruel Summer

As a target reader, I feel left out of the loop, Australians have such a compelling locale and strong cultural ideosyncracies to be exploited. Author writes so well that her basic storyline was completely top notch, a good reader is going to fill in the missing details, and hope for more very soon.

I will definitely be exploring Rowan Hill's other books!

Only one way out

Short sweet neat complete.
Not too long, not boring, an indie movie treatment guaranteed to fund up. Thanks for this one!

The Gresh

With an AI as overweening as Gresh one feels safer in a storyline with several individuals, knowing all the while this Gresh is exceedingly present in the same way to millions of individuals everywhere at all times.

The Acquirer

Written in a somewhat eccentric manner, the storyline was cohesive and detailed enough to lead me to believe the author knows the setting and some of the supporting details from experience.

As with many well written stories, one is reluctant to leave the characters.

Sorry Can't Save You

Journalism, military practices, intolerance outside of social norms, stressors on family dynamics when the unit becomes the framework for support, when the unit cannibalizes one of it's own and the system isn't there either, AWOL.

The bodies just keep stacking up. Those are the lucky ones IMO, off to another unknown place but out of the pressure cooker of PTSD, family obligations, military secrets, social inadequacy, bigotry, the silence of unit cohesion...

Twenty's Mission Log

One of the characteristics I love about an author is the imbued sense of confidence he or she instills that any given storyline can be depended on to be satisfying.

Twenty's Mission Log doesn't disappoint!

Ladykillers

A thought provoking insight into the alternate gender choices of small town America, and the price some are willing to pay for it.

Banking On Reddy

UK bankers standing in a quagmire of international interests find themselves having to choose between East Europeans, the Irish, USA all looking to obtain a long term foothold, when a reputable bank of a certain standing suddenly finds itself a candidate for nationalisation.

What's really at risk here, in my opinion is a failing of confidence of the people in their banking systems.

Westbound

Lovely storyline of romance in the old West. Characters are historically believable and conflicts of man against man kept true to each character

Land of The Unknown

I usually read only Free, and not signed in, but I logged in and downloaded the App so I could review this author. I can read 40 orore books in a month but this one Stands Out, well above the general standard. The author stands in my opinion with the best in the west.

The story left me bereft without the characters, now that I e finished reading it, yet I know I will carry them in my memory as if I can any time go visit them as if they were real.

Bantering With A Gun

Not only is the main character competent within her own purview, she segues almost seamlessly into the new environment she's chosen!

Bantering With Herself

This storyline has so many hooks I could stay caught up in the lives of the author's multi layered characters for a very long time.

Bantering With A Dandy

This multi talented author brings everything to the storyline to keep readers and fans well satisfied ad coming back for more!

MindWatcher

Unfinished story

The Archeologist Book 1 Time Series

I have not been this entranced by metaphysical portals since as a child I encountered a story about kids who discovered doors into and out of their ordinary existence!

These characters display the care, love, and attention to historic details that the best archeologists of our time hold sacred.

Well done, author and I look forward very much to reading the story titled Artifact!

The Immortality Plot

A straightforward storyline like this deserves better credentials than I can think of at the moment. With up to date medical science, and an all too believable scenario, the whole package of protagonist, colorful religious overtones and underlying choices just all melds into the best I've seen in decades.

Destiny's Children - Joby

This writer will be forever in my mind, and I can only wish that The protagonist had saved the ending. How often we think we can go along to get along, and suddenly the chance for redemption fails over. Quite suddenly.

Buried Treasure

When readers and fans demand a sequel (to another story) - they get what they ask for from this author!

The Reckoning

Authentic characters perform storyline magic within their assorted purviews, one can't help but hope the ancestors' allocated function will continue to guide the battle to preserve and keep sacred the dignity of priceless anthropological and cultural heritage.

Knock On Wood

Behind the scenes of a major biker club can be as fraught with the ordinary human condition as any mainstream neighborhood. These people bring home the truth of clan, kinship, loyalty and basic Nordic core values in a way that completely fulfills the author's intent to envision Vikings as current in modern society.

The Last Grey Sky

Dystopian, (when people are leaving their places and go be somewhere else) -

This story is one of several I've seen written before the Corona Pandemic of 2020AD, yet it resonates strongly for young people who may at some time become displaced, and learn to live outside of a failed structured society, and it offers strong human characteristics to look up to when hard decisions have to be made.

Policewoman

It isn't often enough that a woman character can stand with strong heroic men and still appeal to the girlie girl inside of us women!

This author plays the dynamics of all involved characters with no paucity of feeling, even the bad guys! Also, William and Harry can be proud to be mentioned, the writing is superior in every way that counts.

I couldn't have wished for a better book, this was my Christmas gift to myself. Thank you Author for keeping the book on Inkitt.

Blood Is Their Argument

Interesting, my Inkitt app will not allow access to other reviews, in this case 10 reviews and the app shows zero reviews, but a long series of blanked out forms.

This example of a solid anthropology professional working with both tribal/cultural experience and a current societal law enforcement takes me a long way into understanding our times, who we are, what we can expect going into the next round of the USA melting pot and it's anticipated balance of power.

The Music In Silence

Poets and musicians know all our secrets, and tell everyone. You are not alone they say, unless you want to be alone.
This poetry speaks to the heart from the heart. Heart to heart.

Silence DS Addison #1

The character of a new detective facing serial killer on her first case is compelling and written strongly enough to give readers a strong inclination to check back often!

Although listed as Complete, the story has ongoing chapters; I was very glad to see that the writer added a new chapter, as I almost dinged the story on review for false advertised as being complete.

Thank you Ms Dalton for being online for us at Inkitt.com

The Sum of Things

British SAS rarely receive the credit they so richly deserve as they quietly and efficiently train hard, secure mission objectives, and move into places of further responsibility after service.

We just don't hear enough about these heroes and this book has all the hallmarks of an informed and intelligent true story, as anyone who's heard about those snarky Somalian pirates would wish it could be, as well as the other venues of disrepute addressed by the protagonist and his men.

The Gardeners Daughter

I loved this story, forever! I am saving it for another reading at Christmas!! So many details of the English Victorian Christmas, and manners and mores of the time, not to mention the cameo appearance if one of my own all time favorites, Bird Of Paradise!

Sirens Love

Choosing the lovely sirens as a central feature was brilliant! I was so caught up in the appearances of Hera, and KirKe . . .

Three Card Monte

This book had it all on a reading day when I wanted only the best!

Midnight Rose Academy

Having a vision isn't the same as having a plan, this story puts a team of loyal and enduring friends into the fray as they pursue their dream of being a family.

Shattered Rose

Haven't so many of us thought long and deeply about what would be different if only, if only; not realizing the arduous journey involved for those who do make the effort to change, or become something different and worthwhile.

Midnight Rose

This author writes with a huge confidence well above the level of expectation.

The Angel of San Diego

Thank you Author! This initial story of a series follows a talented psychic through the initial phases of coming into his power and choosing to combat some of life's worst criminal activities.

Along the way he finds himself surrounded by a group of first rate friends and colleagues.

Authentic scenarios and locations in the San Diego area make this whole series my number one favorite of a very long time.

Black Sea

Not all slaves are from the tribes of Africa, and there is much to admire in those who looked to their faith as they did whatever they could to ameliorate the suffering of hapless immigrants.

Darkroom

I don't want to leave these characters when the story finishes. As crime fiction goes, this is definitely an author I would follow into any storyline.

Battle Of Wills

Not everyone in the South of Civil War era fought for slavery. This heroic ghost story brings it home to us in ways I had never thought about, as the characters in the story discover family secrets and seek to protect a historic town and it's costly heritage of human compassion and beliefs.

To Tell A Tale Season One

So many things were explained as we came to know the characters, their strengths and weaknesses, and how they overcame their perceptions of each other.

There are layers to this storyline which seamlessly flurry around and so much of it makes sense. I would read this writer as often as possible.
