Whimper by Erin McFadden Review

This was one of those books that you want to read in one sitting. You know the kind, you are racing to the end to find out how it all works out.

While the plot was a bit predictable, I really enjoyed this book. I was rooting for Elliott and Zoe all the way. I would like to have heard more about Zoe’s house and gotten a bit more backstory though. There were some interesting and unexpected developments as they raced against the clock. I never once lost interest in this book and look forward to more from McFadden.

Four out of five stars.

Full disclaimer: I was given this as an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Finders Keepers Review

http://www.amazon.com/Finders-Keepers-Novel-Stephen-King/dp/1501100076/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1434233670&sr=8-1&keywords=Finders+Keepers

As a Stephen King fan (or at least an early Stephen King fan), I had to grab his latest book and read it as soon as it came out.

Once again, though, King has disappointed me. While it was a good story, it just didn’t have the classic King horror that I love.

This was a continuation from Mr. Mercedes (which I think will be a trilogy). Bill Hodges, along with his sidekicks, Holly and Jerome, get tangled up with a young boy who has gotten in over his head. It was a well written story, but lacked some oomph.

If you are a King fan and have read Mr. Mercedes, you will probably want to read this like I did. But, otherwise, I would probably pass on it.

Three stars out of five.

Pyotr Ilyitch Book Review

 
http://www.amazon.com/Pyotr-Ilyich-Adin-Dalton/dp/1492860131/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433699221&sr=8-1&keywords=pyotr+ilyich

This was quite an undertaking. I typically prefer 300 -350 page books and this weighed in at well over 600 pages. But it didn’t feel like it was dragging at any point of the book and I’m not sure how it could have been cut down.

It was a fictionalized story of the life of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. I love his music and thought I would enjoy this book. At first I was put off by the sex scenes of Pyotr, who is gay. However, I kept reading and found that these were not sensationalized, nor were they overblown. It truly was a story of Tchaikovsky and his life and troubles.

I enjoyed this book very much and have found myself thinking about him more and how well written the book was. I would recommend this and I would suggest that playing Tchaikovky’s music while reading made it even more enjoyable.

Four out of five stars.

Book Blurb

In a time of heroes, a man will take any job to provide for his family.

Ichabod Brooks has earned a reputation for taking the jobs most men and women fear to challenge. This reputation has brought him to the charred remains of a small village nestled within the hills and forest of Ralian. The ruins are a source of strange monsters that terrorize the countryside and repeatedly elude the local guards and hunters. The few brave souls who have entered the creatures’ lair have yet to come out alive or dead.

The chances of survival are slim, but that generous payment is too much for Ichabod to resist. After all, a man and his family have to eat.
