The Blood Garden by Chad Wickwire Manuscript Review

Genre - Sci-fi/Fantasy

Rating 5 out of 5 stars


So as some of you might know besides being a reviewer I also have been known to proofread books. I usually do not do reviews on these books because they are in such a raw format and there is typically not a release date yet but one came across my desk I just had to say something about.


This book is by a new author that none of you have ever heard of but it was so good I had to say something about. The books mixes fantasy with mystery and suspense and a bit of horror. 


The pretense of the book is about a guy that is hallucinating things and slowly being turned evil by a forces beyond his control. There are a lot of supernatural beings and trying to figure out what exactly is going on with him.


The whole time this is happening he is in a mental hospital and is under the impression that he is going insane. A dark man keeps appearing to him  with the impression that this is one of the hallucinations.


The ending was the best twist of all but as you all know I don’t do spoilers. I love twists at the end of books especially this one. As you probably can tell from some of the other books I have reviewed. This twist is awesome and leads you right into the second book of the series. Which is being written now.


This is book one of the Echoes Of Silence series (a five book series) and will be a must read for men and women when released. This was the type of book I picked up and wanted to read straight through to the end without stopping. Unfortunately I was unable to do that as proofreading makes me read slower than I normally would.


The release date is still to be determined but I will keep you guys updated on when that will be.

Review of author Christine K. Fields

Genre Children’s Books I read three books by this author and all three were 5 star reads for children! I read Alphabet Stuff With Nuff, Saving Money Makes Cents,  Teamwork Makes Dream Work all by this author.  The Alphabet Stuff With Nuff book is a great way to get pre-K kids excited about learning letters and counting. It is all done in rhyme and had me laughing in parts. I would recommend the adult read through it a couple of times before reading it to their children. There are some wicked twisters in this one. The goal is to get your children to learn their alphabet and simple counting while you read the book. They have to count each time that letter comes and add them up. The answers of the number of letters in each rhyme are thankfully in the back of the book. The other two books I would say are more of kindergarten age book, One teaches about saving money and how fast it goes if you don’t pay attention. Something I have to say I have not learned at my age. This is perfec...

Windswept by Annabelle McCormack

Windswept Saga Book 1 Narrated by Elizabeth Grace Genre - Intrigue, Mystery, Romance Rating - 5 out of 5 Narration Rating - 5 out of 5 This book had me hooked from the beginning. It was so full of twist, turns, and mysterious circumstances that it just grabbed me in and I hated to stop listening even for bed. This book is sent in 1917 during WWI in Egypt. It has a lot of different characters but they are very easy to follow. It is about a woman thrown into a world of murder and mayhem in the war-ravaged Arabian desert where one wrong turn can get you killed. She has no clue who to trust and people keep showing up telling her that she can trust them but she has no idea which one is telling the truth. I have to give a shout-out to the narrator for keeping the book flowing and also her wide range of voices for each character. I think that is why while listening to this book I could keep each person separate.  I would highly recommend this book in audiobook format or book f...

A Cowboy Christmas Legend by Linda Broday

Genre - Christmas Fiction Rating - 5 out of 5 stars I picked out this book because of my ongoing obsession with cowboys. Plus I wanted to get into the Christmas spirit early this year. This book definitely didn’t disappoint.  This book is about a Texas Ranger running from grief and a women coming to grips with her own past. As they work together they end up bonding together to help rescue and take care of a Mother and her two children plus helping with a case for the Texas Rangers. The plot is a very stereotypical romance but it did not disappoint. With all the happy endings that we all look for at Christmas time. So if you are looking for a nice easy Christmas book to read I would definitely recommend this steamy Christmas read.
