Review: Conditioned Response

Reviews, , , , ,

Conditioned Response
Conditioned Response by Marjorie F. Baldwin

There’s always a Plan.

The World Council is corrupt, but Shayla has a plan for that. After 13 years living with the humans as the only Phoenician in the Outside, Shayla is making her own plans, instead of defaulting to the Seven Chiefs – who got her into this mess to begin with! At least she has Raif with her, ever caring for and guiding her along. But things are set in motion that she can’t control, Shayla must finish what she started – before it’s too late.

The story is told by several of the characters, letting the reader get a glimpse of what motivates them and what hides beneath the surface. Hints of past transgressions and future possibilities abound as the Councillor and Proctor try to prepare for anything and everything the humans and Phoenicians can Throw at them.

A gripping tale speckled with war, conspiracy, love and loss, Conditioned Response explores the future of humanity as they interact with the Phoenicians, trying to live together on the Phoenician planet in peace. With advanced technology and mind-tampering, AI’s and repros, Conditioned Response is a must-read for sci-fi lovers.

Review: Lies and Deceit

Reviews, , , , , ,

Lies and Deceit
Lies and Deceit by Catherine Forbes
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Silence is bliss…

Believing that their home world was destroyed, Mystren’s kind, lead by their King, take over a planet that humanity is squandering. Fueled by the desire to stop her race from being tortured, Myst takes part in a fact-finding mission, content to sneak out with precious files.

Or so Myst thought until a gargoyle stepped in her way and smacked her with more lies. Unless he’s telling the truth.

Fast-paced, Lies and Deceit introduces several paranormal creatures that struggle to see the light of day. Who is lying and who is telling the truth is left to be seen.

Review: A Bloody End – Chronicles of Myra

A Bloody End - Chronicles of Myra
A Bloody End – Chronicles of Myra by Catherine Forbes
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Nobody hurts our girls.

Mistress Myra, a succubus, runs her brothel well and takes care of her girls. Feeding off the life force of her customers, Myra is spurred to vengeance when one of her best girls is found dead, desecrated in her own room.

This very short tale is a quick look at Myra, almost a character profile. The set-up is done well, so that it would make a good intro to a longer work. A Bloody End – Chronicles of Myra opens the door for a different type of character that goes bump in the night.

Review: The Adventures of Jerry the Golf Ball

The Adventures of Jerry the Golf Ball
The Adventures of Jerry the Golf Ball by Robert Siegel
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

And then there it was the lip of the cup, and finally that glorious sound, KERPLUNK!

Jerry the golf ball dreamed of being used in a professional tournament by a big-name golfer. But what he thought was an easy trip to a trophy case turned into a path through the hazards, Jerry encounters all the different hardships of being a golf ball with some pretty interesting results.

Carefree and fun, though short, The Adventures of Jerry the Golf Ball will keep you shaking your head – it’s amazing what that little golf ball can get into, and out of, before he’s run his course.

Hope you enjoy! And if you haven’t read this book yet, what are you waiting for!?

Week 2/ Chapters 8-16 Discussion Questions

1. Sam is admittedly drawn to Heven before they even meet. Why do you think this is?

Heven just seems like an innocent girl to me. She had this horrible thing happen to her and is scarred, but Sam can see/feel the goodness in her, the hope she still carries inside. Even disfigured, Sam knows she’s beautiful, inside and out, and is drawn to her because of it. Continue reading Masquerade (Heven and Hell #1) Read-Along Week 2 →

Review: A Story not Wished to be Read

A Story not Wished to be Read
A Story not Wished to be Read by Nicola Black
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Are you willing to risk
Getting lost in the shadows
To bring me light?

This collection of poems takes the reader down the mental wanderings every reader can relate to. Tales of love, loss, pain, faith, etc. are all wrapped up in neat little poetry lines, begging the reader to understand and delve into deeper thought.

A Story not Wished to be Read is a misleadingly quick read – it will have you thinking about those words long after you turn the pages.
