Brilliant!

This isn't my kind of genre, but I thought I'd give it a try, and I am so glad I did !! This story captivated me so, I had to stop binging, but I couldn't help myself. It is a literal page turner. No chapter was long winded, and the suspense in many cases nearly caused me to burst a blood vessel from all the tension.

In the beginning, we're introduced to Win, a complex character who has suffered a great deal, and seeks help from a therapist to help manage her demons. Although I was rather confused in the beginning (the character was here, there, then everywhere), I came to soon realise that the author was carefully, subtly and cleverly building a scene that would lead to an ultimate smack down.

The twists, for me, where like, "what the F***", moments, because just when I thought I was understanding who was plotting what, the author creatively pulled the rug from under my feet!

This is a story to behold, and I will be adding a link to this story on all my social medias, as this needs to be read by the masses.

If anyone is reading this review, please like, read and review this story. Don't forget to spread the news. I am now a new fan of this talented author.

Throw in Greek Mythology and I'm hooked!

Loved this book! I was mesmerized! Thank you. I loved the plot and the different religions/beliefs that were put together. You wrote it in such a way, that there would be no need for anyone to be offended for whatever they may believe in (something many authors lack, as I find their beliefs in life are always strong in fantasy books, and it shows), but you were neutral and it was captivating. I loved the characters. They were well defined and the plot was not overwhelming with floods of too much information. This was a great read and anyone who loves Greek/Roman mythology should definitely check out this book!

An Epic in the Making!

I love this! These are books worth making a Series, not a 2 hour long movie. Sir Aedan is without a doubt, someone we can all relate to. Difficult choices to make, emotions that run deep. I really feel a connection with him. Harboring someone with a false name? Genius!

The characters are not 2-dimensional, which is great, and have a full arc. I love that. Many writers have great stories, but spoil it with characters that don't show much emotion, flaws etc, making them robotic instead of "human". Love it!

I know this is a series (which I am so stoked about), and I will be following these series until the day it is published and I can show it off on my bookshelf.

Inspiring!

Inspiring, beautiful... it's not just a book of poems, its literally a book of Proverbs. Lessons learned and experiences I most certainly can relate to. I didn't find any grammatical errors.

This was just as beautiful as the first. There is no way I can choose between the two. They are both WINNERS!

A Fresh View!

I loved this. Finished it in one go, that was how hooked I was! The chapters might seem long, but the contents itself is short, making it an easy read and well paced. I found this book to be full of depth, emotion and even philosophical.

I would highly recommend this book as it is a great getway from the tough outside world. You land up looking deep within yourself and see where you are in life, and if you are happy or not. Very in depth and I love this!

Wonderful!

This is a book worthy of catching the attention of movie makers. It will need some touch ups, but that normally comes at the end when the book is finished and final polishing takes place. Your characters are very interesting and have a well, rounded style in which I could imagine their struggles etc.

Anyone reading this review, please could you help support this talented author!

Well Done!

I finally got round to reading your two books, and I must say, I was NOT disappointed! You definately put a lot of thought, time and effort into I SMELL FEAR, as the grammar, punctuation is flawless. The pacing was excellent, and found no part of the story stagnant, which is hard to find in books nowadays, as they tend to drag on and on.

Your characters are 3 Dimensional, which is great. They have characteristics I could definately relate to and just when I thought I read all there is about Alphas, along comes a story like this!

Overall, well done and I am really proud to have been introduced to such a great book as this!

Brilliant!

This was a great read. The world-building and characters? Oh my word, I could feel myself being amongst them. Brilliant. The characters are well developed and the descriptions are great, not overwhelming (which is often the case in other stories).

Great job!

EXCELLENT!

This was fun! There were moments I had to hold my sides, I was laughing so much! Really, I can relate to MANY of these stories. I loved this so much. You've earned yourself a new fan!

WOW!

LOVED IT! And.. urgh, there's nothing worse than prophecies! People tend to run away from then, only to land up on the path towards your destiny.

This was a great take on a beloved story. I applaud your creative imagination. Definitely a new fan!

A MASTERPIECE!

YAY! I finally got round to reading this book and boy, was i hooked! I loved the plot and characters. You definitely did your research and everything was just flawless. The characters are not two-dimensional, which is a breath of fresh air. (Many authors don't make their characters a "full circle", as i like to call it). The plot kept me hooked and found I didn't want it to end.

You have a natural gift and I encourage you to continue with this. You are an amazing writer and have earned yourself a new fan.

Anyone reading this review, PLEASE support this talented author.. This is a work of art and can't wait to read more!

Fantastic!

I love fantasy and this was an amazing read. Please carry on with this, as it will turn into something amazing. I loved it so much and have sent shout-outs to as many friends as I could who I know would love this kind of story.
Keep up the good work!

STUNNING!

After reading this, I feel my novel shouldn't go public... this story is amazing and should be the centre of every publisher's dream. The plot, the characters, the GODS! Your imagination is fresh, unique and exciting. You never know what's going to happen, you're THAT good... just when I thought I understood something, the rug was pulled from under me and I was slapped with a "OH! I didn't see that coming!"
You are a true fantasy artist. Keep it up. I will be following you all the way!

Fantastic!

It is stories like this that makes me want to read more and more! Your plot is brilliant and your characters are well defined. I would definitely recommend this story to everyone.
Anyone who is reading this, please like and follow this talented author.

Interesting

I really enjoyed reading this. I found it hard to turn the page as I found myself wanting more. The characters are very well defined and not overlapping. The plot and scenes are excellently captured and not too overwhelming, something that many authors today need to pay special attention to. Other than that, a great read and you have definitely earned yourself a new fan!

Awesome Plot!

I love the plot! You did a fantastic job in bringing in the Good vs Evil lore. Even though the battle between good and evil is the basis to all religions (and even those who don't believe in anything), you brought in something fresh and exciting! I loved the chapter where Michael loses his wings (not that I happy about it, I felt bad for him). It reminded me of the game Darksiders and how War had come to destroy the world when he thought the 7th seal was broken and what happened afterwards.
I really urge you to carry on with this, although I know you are busy with another project, this one is definitely a go-getter!

Inspiring!

I love these kind of stories. You have managed to capture the horror of war and what people went through just to survive. You have a natural talent for writing and I encourage you to continue with this. You have definitely earned a new fan and anyone reading this review, please support this talented author!

WOW!

Since the day I added this book to my Reading List, I couldn't wait to finally read it! Yiu have an amazing talent in keeping your readers on their toes and I found I couldn't stop turning the pages. I was bting my nails from all the suspense! Your grammar and puncuation is excellent. Anyone reading this review, I urge you to please support this talented author.

A Masterpiece

WOW! This was such a great read. If you are into history (with a big twist), I definately reccommend this to anyone who comes across this review. The author has the ability to keep the reader on their toes and I found myself wanting to turn the page again and again. I couldn't put this book down! You are incredibly talented.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read this excellent work!

THIS IS AMAZING

This story blew me away. It took me all night to read and never once looked at the time. I guess I'll be needing lots of caffeine to get through work today!

Since I lost history and mythology, this story was both amazing and tense. Serious plot twists were wonderfully done. Seriously, this is by far my favourite of yoir stories and I encourage everyone who reads this review ro please follow and support the author!

LOVE IT! They should make this into a movie!

OH NO! CLIFFHANGER!!!!

This story BLEW MY MIND! What an adventure. The plot and pace was well maintained. I was literally sucked into a world of such imagination. You have definately earned yourself a new fan! WELL DONE!

Legends Are Made

Oh yeah! This is the stuff of legend! I collected all the Assassin Creed novels and played the games, so I am a huge fan and your book was a page turner at EVERY SINGLE turn.
Thank you for sharing this with me!

Great start to an epic series!

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It is the definate start to something great! The characters are well formed, and I felt I could relate to them as the story progressed. The opening was excellent. It laid the foundation to an epic story. I would advise on having programmes like Grammarly and Autocrit to help with grammar and words that are often repetive (just my opinion).

Other than that, a great read. Thank you for sharing this with me.

A Brilliant Story About to Unfold...

While it is hard to review something that only has 2 chapters, I have to say that what I have read so far, is captivating! I'm only just beginning to start liking the characters, but to discuss them in length won't do any justice for the author, as there is no material left to further my voice.

What I can say is that the chapters are somewhat lengthy. Maybe try shortening them? Just a suggestion.

The Summary is BREATHTAKING, and I would follow this story from here on out. As I said, this is a story to behold. I truly hope this will be finished, as I can see a masterpiece on the horizon!

Brilliant Work!

Again, a brilliant read. Thank you! I really felt for Drathis and by far, my favourite character. Definately felt the inner turmoil and couldn't help but feel rooting for him all the way. Brilliantly done! I love the world and the legends incorporated into this story. It truly has everything in one: drama, tragedy, mystery, suspense (I could go on!)

Thank you again!

BRILLIANT!

WOW! This was a fantastic read. We are introduced to Poison, a young woman with serious anger issues (for justifiable reasons). We're taken on a road of unravelling many mysteries and when all the things she's done comes to light, we get to see another side of her that I never thought possible.

The story is well defined. Your characters are not 2 dimensional, which is something you don't get everytime. I felt I could relate to this character and loved her from the the very beginning.

Your plot slowly unravels, and it is brilliantly done. Not in haste, but also not dragged out. The story is well paced and found myself wanting to turn the pages. Each chapter is left with subte hints that something major is coming, and you delivered! I found my mouth hanging wide open when I read about Scorpion's brother. What a twist!

I really have nothing to critique on the grammar and puncuation. You have obviously done your homework and you have given us all a brilliant story to enjoy and follow.

Thank you! Anyone who reads this review, please help, follow and support this talented author!

It has potential

when I saw names like Frey and Alfheim, I was in! I studied all kinds of myths, but Greek and Norse always held an appeal to me.

This story has the potential of becoming legendary. From a grammatical point of view, as well as the overall reading, I found too many words repeated within a paragraph, and that will throw a reader off. Your style is a bit robotic, telling a person how 'Saraya walked across a room' etc... yet there was a lack of emotion and feeling. Try and look into that. It was more "tell" than "show" and I couldn't quite relate to the character.

Overall, I don't mean anything is wrong with your work. As I said, you have potential here. I'm only pointing out what many once pointed out to me when I first became a writer 20 years ago. I understand and appreciate constructive criticism and would never throw anyone under the bus. This is a learning curve and the fact that you have got this far with your story, proves you want to be a better writer and I applaude you for a job well done!

A Chef's Kiss!

WOW! Simply WOW! Just when I thought I read everything there is about werewolves, here comes a story that made me think, "oh my gosh, this is unique!" And it certainly is. I love the fact that both male and female characters are STRONG (In many stories, only one character is strong, while the other is weak).

The characters are well rounded and definately not two-dimensional. I felt I could relate to some of their trouble they went through.

The world building was brilliant, descriptions well given and not overwhelming (something many authors tend to do when writing fantasy).

Overall, well done on a brilliant job. If this is only a draft, I can only imagine the final being a masterpiece.

Excellent!

Very good story. You have a level of writing that matches those of a higher quality in literature. I hope you are as proud of your work as I !!

Very good

This was a great read. I know it's only early days and so reviewing will be tough, but you have something going here that will become perfect! Keep up the good work!

Whoa!

Just when I thought I've read all werewolf stories and heard it all, along comes this book . This was an amazing take and the author never ceases to amaze me by the sheer scope of excellent storytelling. Thank you for sharing this great story with everyone!

Simply a Masterpiece!

Now THIS is a story of legend! I loved every chapter. I binged so much I never realised it was 1am in the morning. There was not one chapter that lagged. Your pacing is excellent, you keep the reader captivated with excellent descriptions that do not drag (something I find in many stories) and the characters are both relatable and not two dimensional.

Anyone reading this review, please like and support this talented author. As for me, I am a new fan!

Entertaining

A very good read. I would recommend a bit of editing and keep dialogues short, as you don't want it to be too wordy. You have a great thing going here and I encourage you to keep on!

Great work!

Excellent storyline and the dialogue is engaging. The world is amazing and the characters are believable. Hope you could one day get this published!

Perfect!

A great eye opener book! This should be available to the masses because this is REAL! I loved everything about this book. Thank you for such a wonderful share.

Wow!

This isn't something I normally would read, but this took me by surprise (in a good way). Beautiful and touching. Thank you for sharing such an amazing story with all of us.

Sjoe

I was greatly disturbed that people can be so cruel. This is a touching story that must be out there for the masses to see.. These events take place everyday of our lives and the more awareness, the better. This book took my breath away and can only imagine the trauma... very touching.

Whoa!

This book has unexpected twists and turns. Just when you think you understand something, WHAM! The rug gets ripped from under you.
Excellent book and please keep on writing!

Amazing Work!

The beginning was like, no other! It reminded me of the theme song of Game of Thrones, where the music sets the mood and you're already sitting on the edge of your seat, waiting in anticipation to what will come when the music ends. That's how it was for me.

This was an amazing story and gosh, the characters! So lifelike I could really relate to them. Everything was smooth flowing and the pace was great. I never found a moment were a chapter lagged... I had to stop reading at some point because one evening I looked at my watch and saw it was 2am in the morning and I was like, "Oh no! I have to get up for work in 4 hours!"

Great job and I am a new fan!

A Masterpiece!

Oh my word, I think I found my favourite book! Since I love history, when I saw the title, I was immediately drawn into it. Time travelling is always a challenge, but you took something so complex and created it simply, yet powerful at the same time.

To everyone who reads this review, please like and follow and support this amazing, talented author!

A Marvel!

This was a great read !! I loved the plot twists and characters. This kind of book should be made into a movie!
Brilliant!

Very Good!

As a Tolkien lover, I couldn't wait to read this book and it did NOT disappoint.
This was an amazing story based on a book so loved by many. You would've made Tolkien proud!

Very Good!

I really enjoyed reading this book. Many twists (which I love) and I could link myself with the characters, as you've made them to be super amazing.

Well done!

Make this book into a movei!

This was amazing! I have no words. The plots, turn of events? WOW! I loved your character development and throughout the entire story, I can honestly say I feel for them, because what they go through feels so real. I was kept on the edge of my seat and had to (at times) force myself from reading, as it was already 2am in the morning!

Overall, great job. Definitely a new fan!

Brilliant!

Nothing beats a badass woman !! I loved the heroine and reading 'fairytales' brought back fond memories (even though it's not your average "the prince kisses the princess and she wakes from her slumber". Truly, this was a great read!

One word: WOW!

This was awesome. Can't believe you captivated me with just 1 chapter. I found it to be relatable and so different at the same time. Truly, job well done!

Simply the Best!

Whoa! Just when I thought I had read / seen time travel books and movies, this story pulled the rug from under my feet! Your characters are amazing. I find I can relate to some of them. Time travel is tricky, but you managed on key focal points to make it appear "real and believable".

If anyone is reading this review, please, support this talented author. There is a genius in the making here!

Amazing writing!

I LOVE this! It is built on such subtle little stories, one cannot help but be lured into a world that was once before. Your way of bringing histoey to life is real, lifelike and well communicated. I loved every chapter and felt so .... paet of it, that I wished even my gran had secret letters.

This is by far my favourite and I am EXPLODING with curiosity and you for more to come!

Please do me a favour and have this onneither Lady Rowan or Mystical Mode's podcasts. This NEEDS to get out there and I will help you achieve it! No matter what!

Wonderful Wolrd!

This was such a great read I'm sorry it ended! You know you have a masterpiece when you can't have enough of something, and you have achieved just that!

The characters are not two-dimensional, which is a breath of fresh air. They are not perfect, but have elements in them that make them all the more real. The plot and twists were absolutely incredible and I will say this one thing: you've earned yourself a new fan!

Anyone reading this review, please help support this talented author!

Too Good To Be True!

I have to say, i haven't come across a story like this in a LONG time, and that is saying a lot. The plot was brilliant and the characters were not two-dimensional. I could feel their emotions as if they were my own. Every time a chapter ended, I had to turn the page. This is a book you can't put down.
You have definitely earned a new fan and follower!

Loved it!

Just when I thought I read and know all there is to know about werewolves, along comes an amazing story as this. You have taken on a concept as old as mankind and managed to keep it fresh, new and exciting. The plots twist, causing you to sit on the edge of your seat. I found it hard not to put it down, I wanted to read more and more and kept turning the page to know what happens next!

The characters are well defined and the world in this story is amazing. If anyone is reading this review, please help support this talented author.

Definitely a new fan!

Brilliant!

I LOVED this story. The humour was hilarious and the bantering between friends (and I simply love Aunt Marie) is not overkill... we banter with friends and family all the time. The plot sets an easy pace to follow and you get to know the characters as you go along, with not too much description that would overwhelm you. It is just perfect.
If anyone is reading this review, please help support this talented author. For me, I am definitely a new fan!

Excellent Read!

I have thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters are not 2-dimensional.... I can feel their struggles, thoughts and decisions as if it were my own. Your writing technique is flawless and I can see you have put A LOT of effort into this. The plot was amazing and I can definitely say without a doubt, that this is a masterpiece in its own right. Well done.. You have earned yourself a new fan!

Superb!

I had been following your stories for some time now and I couldn't imagine a book with such vivid descriptions as this story! I never wanted it to end! If this book were in bookshops, I would purchase a copy for myself! You have the knack to not only tell the story, but able to describe it in such a way that I hated it to end.

I have already put it on Social Media for others to know they must read this, and I have a few who would definitely enjoy this story. Not once was I bored. You kept the pace so well that I cannot express further that this book should be shared and published. You have touched me with this story, and I don't mention it lightly.

You have a gift. Use it. And if there are ever more to come, you have just earned yourself a new fan!

Well done! It's been an exciting and enticing piece of literature. Keep it coming! Your attention to detail stands out incredibly. You have what it takes to become GREAT!

I Loved This!

Well done. This was an incredibly good story. I loved the plot twists and the characters are very well defined. There is much detail, but not overwhelming, which I find refreshing as sometimes authors tend to over use descriptions, creating headaches for the reader, but your story is one not of simplicity, but of great imagination and excellent dialogue. I have nothing major to critique other than you have done an amazing job on this story. Loved it!

A Good Twist On Old Tales

I love vampires and just when I thought I read them all, you managed to give me something new and fresh to read. This was exciting and loved the plot. Thank you for keeping it fresh!

LOVED IT!

As a classical musician myself, it was an absolute treat reading this, not only because it involved The Phantom of the Opera (for me personally, the KING of Musicals) but this book had so many plot twists that I found I couldn't stop turning the pages. It was beautifully written and the plot twists were jaw dropping. I really encourage anyone who comes across this review to PLEASE read, review and spread the word as this one fantastic author in the making!

I like it!

It has potential and I really enjoyed it. You have a talent and I encourage you to further your skills. You have the makings of becoming an excellent story teller! Anyone reading this review, please help support this upcoming new author!

Good plot!

I really liked this one. Poetry is not my strong suit, so I take my hat off to people who have that. It takes a certain kind of level in talent to write poetry. Good job!

It has potential

Thank you for this. I enjoyed your character writing and plot. Please have a look at published author's works to see how grammar is used in there works and when to put them in. It.

Good start!

You have definitely started a good story here and hope to read more in the future. Just a side note, try and keep the sentences short. Some sentences and dialogues are long without any punctuation marks. Try adding some of them in in order to pause and take a breath of air. Other than that, this was great! Thank you.

SUSPENSE!

WOW! Simply WOW! The plots and twists were so real to me that I found myself cringing, waiting for something to happen to ME while I was reading! You have an incredible knack of clarity and describing things in such a way that the reader feels they are experiencing what the characters are. I have nothing to critique on your grammar, that's how good you are and I hope you write more as I would defiantly read them all. Thank you for this story! I loved every moment of it!

SIMPLY WOW !!

I LOVE THIS! Since I love history and the period this book is written in, I just could not stop turning the pages! Your plot and characters were well concieved and I really hope you write more stories like this, because you have earned a new fan! Anyone reading this Review, please support this talented writer!

Exciting!

Really, WELL DONE! The characters and plots were amazing! I am no expert on POV's... but try and keep them consistent. I really love your work and you have definitely earned a new admirer!

Incredible!

This is definitely something I could live by. To be anchored and know your surroundings, being in touch with your inner self, I urge you to not give up and carry on writing your thoughts and feelings. You are an inspiration and you have definitely earned yourself a new fan!

Really Impressive!

I really, REALLY enjoyed this book! I loved how you build your characters. They have a sort of, 180 degree turn. You show them their strengths and weaknesses (which we all can relate to. To anyone who is reading this review, please follow this author. A great talent already in the making!

Simply Amazing!

I really loved this. Truly, I did. You have a knack for making the reader want more, while still keeping info to yourself, keeping me to guess what will happen! Brilliant writing and this is a MUST READ! You have a natural talent and never give up on it. It's books like these that world needs. Amazing! Thank you for sharing!

AMAZING!

One word: WOW! I found that I could relate to some of the problems the characters were facing in my own personal life. The plot was fantastic and the pace was brilliant. I never got bored, but rather going from chapter to chapter and before I knew it, it was already 4am in the morning! Keep up the good work! Definately a new fan!

Unique. Amazing. Jaw Dropping.

I cannot begin to tell you how blown away I was by this atory. You have the knack of keeping the reader captivated and I don't recall a single moment I was ever bored. Hollywood needs stories like these, vecause the movies they're making are just new versions of old classics. But with this, they will have fresh, new material. As an avid reader, I wouls (without a doubt), buy this book in the shops. Thank you for such quality work. I can see you put A LOT of effort into it and that is the sort of character I appreciate in a writer.

I have nothing to critique except WELL DONE! I passed this link onto my friends who I'll know will appreciate this kind of work.

No Ending to Fantastic Writing!

How is it that you are able to captivate readers without having the notion of putting your book down? This is how I felt with this book! Hollywood better see your samples of writing. I am seeing a great blockbuster here!

An Amazing Story

I loved the subtlety of the entire book. I was entranced with EVERY single chapter. I didn't want to put it down. Your way of writing is incredibly unique and I love how you are able to capture the reader with everything. I can see you put EVERYTHING into this and I pray that this kind of work goes forward in ways beyond the imagination of a writer. Well done!

Interesting

Not my kind of novel at all, but this kept me going right through. Very good and it well paced.

Very compelling

This is normally not the kind of story I'd read, but I was rentranced. Well done!

Very Moving ...

Just typical every day life! Why do we have to fall oit with misunderstsndings!? People need to be more open and honest with each other. I really liked your story. Some grammar errors but it doesn't take away to spive this story tells. Really a good read!

Fantastic!

I justread the one series and I must say, WOW! These are normally not the books I would read, but it definately broadened my perspection in other genres. All in all, thank you for an amazing read!

Dynamic!

I just have to say WOW! Thank you for such a mind blowing read. Ypu could give George R.R. Martin a run for his money!
All in all, well done!

This read BLEW my mind!

I must say, for someone who isn't into these kind of books, I was spellbound by your book! It really gives you the usage of "thinking out the box" ... all in all, I think it was a fantastic read. Keep up your good work!

If Ever There Was a Story for the Film, this is it!

I really enjoyed it and hated it when it came to an end!

Excellent!

I love mafia stories and this one does not disappoint. Not a lot of grammar issues but be careful with puncuation as well.

Excellent Plot Twist

I love stories like these. Old grudges, rebellious natures ... it is the stuff worthy of the attention of Hollywood!

Mind Blowing!

I really enjoyed this book. Just when I thought I knew what was going to happen, WHAM! A curve ball came and took me for a loop (in a good way!) Keep up the good work!
