Book Description by Author:

Can a vampire be saved? In the first book of “The Vampire Reclamation Project” series, Michael, an incarnate angel, comes to vampire Arel’s aid. He shares his own blood in an effort to purge Arel of his dark curse. But the angelic gift proves to be more than Arel bargains for. A new and powerful force surges through him, trying to clear not only the curse, but also the long buried horrors from his past.

As Michael continues to guide him through the searing flames of purification, Arel hovers between life and death. But the angel isn’t his only ally. By chance, he meets a woman, Carol. She draws him out of his dark, isolated world and into a new one. It includes a small group of her friends who become obsessed with helping him. Will their efforts succeed? Will Michael’s angelic infusion be enough to reclaim him, to drive out the curse? Will Arel find that love and happiness really do exist in the world?

About the Author:

My passionate world of writing is about letting go of mental structures and simply having fun. By giving myself that freedom, wonderful things happen. The story unfolds in new and exciting ways.

Maybe that’s why I love writing. It allows my emotions and deepest feelings to surface. When I’m writing, my soul is unfettered. There’s no emotional denial, no holding back. My characters are allowed to explore their lives in ways that open up my own heart again. Hopefully my readers will enjoy their stories.

Short Summary of the book:

Having been replaced by a younger version by her plastic surgeon husband, Magali needs to reinvent herself following a divorce. Her daughter-in-law suggests she embarks on two careers, one of counsellor and one as private detective. Magali soon finds out these titles are protected and she requires training for them. But not before her first case as private detective comes around. Not just a simple case of following an adulterous spouse but an actual murder case.

There were many lovely bits in the book, some suspense, some humour and some real human emotion.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

Yes, I understand this is only the first in the series, one which is available free.

What books could this be compared to and why?

Some of the book reminds us of the clueless Inspector Clousseau, however, this book is difficult to compare to any book in particular.

Recommendation:

In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

Children	No
Young Adult	Probably
Adult	Yes

If you like mystery with a hint of tongue in cheek this book may be the book for you.

I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Book Description by Author:

When Magali Rousseau sets out as a private detective, she expects to take pictures of dodgy salesmen and adulterers. Wrong. Her very first case, and it’s murder. Then comes another. And another. Until she finds herself trapped with a killer whose only aim is to make her his tenth – and final – victim.

Set in Provence, One Green Bottle is not just about Magali’s hunt for a serial killer. It’s also the story of a woman recently divorced, in search of a new life. But in a man’s world, she can only succeed by defeating her own doubts.

About the Author:

I grew up in Wales, was educated in England and have spent most of my life in France. I've been writing since the age of 10, when my first poem was sent to a competition by my English teacher. After moving to France, I ran a café-theatre till it got demolished, whereupon I scratched my head, wondering what to do next. Eventually I became a university lecturer, specialising in Second Language Acquisition, even though (apart, obviously, from French) I've spectacularly failed to learn any languages (I'm currently trying Dutch and can already say 'The turtle eats the sandwich', which is very encouraging). I spent two years in Mayotte, a tiny, unknown island in the Indian Ocean, which France bought for 1000 piastres in 1842. Magali Rousseau (my heroine) got into a lot of trouble there, but now, like me, she's back in Provence, where she jogs, paints, and catches murderers.

Book Description by Author:

Meet Jake Reynolds. Art thief extraordinaire. His specialty is Renaissance masterpieces, with a few 'modern' selections thrown in. His modus operendi is to create an exact replica of the original and switch them with the original going to his client. His 'technique' in aging a masterpiece he developed himself. A secret he will carry to his grave. His clients are fanatical art connoisseurs who are very powerful and very rich. He worked his trade from 1903 through 1950 and retired. Never arrested---rarely suspected of his true occupation.

And unlucky. Unlucky in that, while trying to complete one of his many capers, he somehow is dragged into a murder investigation. Unfortunately he is a thief with a conscience. As the series evolves we see he develops a reputation of being a 'crackerjack detective.' All sorts of people and police departments come to him to ask for his help. But how can you solve a murder (a crime, which for him, is a crime which cannot go unpunished) and complete your own felonious endeavor without being caught?

The first book in the series is entitled, The Death of a Young Lieutenant. In the opening weeks of World War One, and as a member of a newly formed British Royal Flying Corps squadron shipped off to Belgium, he is asked by his squadron commander to prove the innocence of a young lieutenant accused of murdering an NCO. At the same time Jake wants to steal a 14th Century Jan van Eck painting. The problem is both the evidence to prove or disprove the lieutenant's guilt and the painting reside behind enemy lines. How do you prove a man's innocence and steal a masterpiece while an entire German army is breathing down your neck?

About the Author:

I am a seventy year old writer of genre fiction. And yes, my portrait was used in 1931 for the original design of Boris Karloff's Frankenstein (well, maybe I'm stretching the truth just an itsy-bitsy bit).

I write hardboiled/noir. And fantasy. And someday . . . someday I plan to make a buck two ninety-five doing it. But I'm not holding my breath.

Overall score:

I scored this book 4/5

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Short Summary of the book:

This book is the prequel to the other (currently) two books in the series. As such it gives an insight in how the time demons came into existence and how the main character in the other books could possibly exist. The book shows the story of two friends and disciples who expect to receive a wish from Trikaal. While one tries to use his gift for the good of others, the other only wishes to use it for his own betterment.

What I liked about the book:

I liked the background and foundation this book gave to the other two books in the series.

What I didn’t like about the book:

This book did not flow as well as the other two and, therefore, received 4 stars instead of 5.

My favourite bits in the book:

I liked how Aru continued to try his best for others despite the betrayal of his friend Nemi. I also liked how he was able to keep an eye on his family while being a captive himself.

My least favourite bits in the book:

I did not like how Nemi betrayed his friend in the hope to delay the time of his ultimate death for as long as possible.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

The first and second book in the series were published before this prequel. I enjoyed both better than this one.

What books could this be compared to and why?

Young Adult	Yes
Adult	Yes

If you like Science Fiction and Fantasy, this book may be the book for you.

I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Book Description by Author:

His death was tied to a demon's...

...and his boon turned into a curse

Will he still sacrifice himself to save mankind?

Aru thought of Nemi as a friend, as a co-disciple who worshipped alongside him. But could he have been more wrong?

When they both received their boons from goddess of time, all Aru sought was knowledge of past and future. But Nemi had different plans.

While Aru was imprisoned, sedated and separated from his pregnant wife, Nemi time traveled through the ages, writing a gory tale of death and destruction. His latest journey targeted the last survivors of the human race.

Aru could either escape the talons of the demon or stay and save the world. But the price of doing the right thing was too high.

You will love this prequel sci-fi fantasy story because it's a time travel tale with a twist.

Get it now.
