Members Reviews:

All That Glitters is Evil.

This is a magical realism story about a group of academics who end up working on a project that was abandoned by the previous archaeological team. One of the team members from the previous excursion went missing and is presumed dead, but they still hope to find out exactly what happened to him. Dark forces who are hoping to take over the world are the suspected culprits... Readers should be aware that this book has as high body count and a somewhat bittersweet ending.

There are a lot of typos, grammatical, and word usage problems in the text. The story remains readable and easy to follow, but it could have used a bit more editing to keep issues like these from being so prevalent. I normally donât deduct stars for a few minor typos or strange word choices but here I had to simply because of how numerous they are.

Since I havenât read the previous novels, having a little more background on the exact relationship between Chris (the narrator) and Maria from the onset would have been helpful. The topic is briefly discussed in bits and pieces, but it takes a while for readers to work out the details. This could be easily avoided by putting a clearer and somewhat longer explanation in the first chapter.

I also found Maria's marriage proposal to be a bit unrealistic. After all, she only met Keith two weeks previously, he's not described as being much of a catch, and the text doesn't mention any specific romantic interludes (dates, kissing, sleeping together, etc.) that took place during that time. Given the novel's modern setting, those things come across as problematic factors. Of course, Maria's narrating and she might have sanitized the story for her audience, but it still seems very odd.

The random chapter about Chrisâ earlier adventures in Seattle could have been left out entirely since the characters who are involved in it don't have anything else to do with this story. What he he learned or discovered during that time could have been summarized in a quick paragraph or two to avoid confusing readers.

I did like the fact that the author included a creature index, but it really wasnât necessary since there weren't that many of them. And since when does evil sparkle? I thought it was dark and ominous... (laughs)

Revisions Needed

To be quite honest, reading this book was a bit of a struggle. While I applaud the creativity of the author and the bravery of anyone who publishes, this book left a lot to be desired. Granted, I hadn't read the others in the series, which may have been helpful. A little more background on the characters and plot lines would have certainly helped. There seemed to be a lot of random characters that only appeared briefly, as well as a lot of activity that was hard to tie together. The author seems inspired to write something along the lines of Indiana Jones, but there is not enough backstory or setting up of each major event. It just reads so much more like a rough draft of compiled notes and scene ideas than a fully formed novel. It doesn't help that the book is riddled with spelling, grammar, and punctuation issues.

Publisher's Summary:

His casual invitation interrupted her stride. Alessandra looked up from the sidewalk, hugging her books. Jeremy leaned against the railing with a beer in his hand, smiling down at her, his bright green eyes reminding her of a wild mountain lion, and she suppressed a shiver.

He raised his beer and with a slight tilt of his head said, "Come on Ally, we won't bite."

Members Reviews:

Didn't go far enough

The author had a good initial idea for this story, but fell down on the execution.

It's about a young college student with a secret. A cute frat boy invites her to a party, but betrays her brutally. Each stage of the story is rushed and there are some elements that defy belief (did she really think the punch at the party would be non-alcoholic? and, if it was so important for her not to drink, why is she not able to taste alcohol at all?).

There is extreme brutality in this story and it is as if the author can't decide whether to dwell on it or skim it, giving the story a strange halfway feeling. It's too rushed and sketchy for adult readers and it's too graphic for younger readers.

I like this author's style and enjoyed this 15 minute story.

You can tell how long a story is looking at its description. This one is only 147 KB = short - and it is free. This author has a nice writing style that flows smoothly to the end. The subject matter is somewhat dark and Ally pays for trusting Jeremy, but it is an all too common scenario on campuses and this story gives the victim a chance to learn from this mistake. It also shows the hypocrisy of prejudice.

Typical Frat boy Jeremy invites Ally to a fraternity party that night. She accepts knowing that Jeremy is a "player" but feeling rebellious of the constant control others have over her life. Ally rejects her friend Hunter's invitation to go camping that evening with the rest of the "pack" and chooses to party with people she doesn't know very well and shouldn't trust.

Spoilers:

This short story is a commentary on the lack of humanity one experiences when overcome with prejudice. Although frat boys are known to act like wild animals when grouped together, it is ironic that it is just such a prejudice that makes them act out against Ally ,Â" she is an animal. Ally may have been born a shape shifter, but Jeremy and his friends are natural shape shifters themselves; changing from human beings into animals when overcome by their prejudice. This story also shows the results of not listening to parental advice and incorrectly feeling adequate to negotiate life on one's own - ultimately trusting the wrong people. Revenge/Karma are hinted at.

Disappointing

This story was just getting started when it ended abruptly. There was no indication in the book description that this was a short story, and I do mean short. It only took me five to ten minutes to read it, there was no time at all for much character development. In future I will pass on this writers works unless it has already been reviewed.

Edit: At the time I wrote this review the "short story" prefix was not present, so I downloaded and read this book with no knowledge that it was a short story. After further consideration I will bump my rating up to a three, because despite it's shortness it was a fairly decent read.

Fast-paced little frightener!

In the Undertaker's Tale, the city undertaker, Edward B Underwood - or Underpants as kids used to call him - has taken his revenge quietly, playing tricks on his childhood tormentors when their bodies have turned up in his facilities, but when he spies Charlene Osbourne - the girl who cruelly spurned him, someone who has been dead for 20 years - he's compelled to see where she's off to...

Great start

This is a good start to a bigger story, in my mind. It's the old adage - ending the story right when it's beginning. I think there's a purpose here and we're all waiting for it to happen.

PS - a few typos
