New Review - The Hero Always Win - By Robert Eaton

Robert Eaton’s first dip into the writing world has come up aces!  The Hero Always Wins is a wonderful fantasy tale that brings to mind many of the epic tales that we have seen on the shelves with a major difference.  Eaton’s story deftly weaves magic, horror and fantasy into a outstanding story that immediately pulls the reader in and holds you until the very last word.  There are so many twists and turns that help to keep the story engaging and keeps the reader on their mental toes!

Our hero, Darcy, is a new knight and longs to save his lands and people.  The frustration he feels at being able to help everyone is palpitate and his struggles as he adjusts to his role as The Hero.  The mystery intertwined within the story only serves to make the reading more enjoyable.  I was completely hooked and I eagerly await the next installment in the series.  This novel is a great first book from an up and coming author.  I highly recommend it for anyone who is a fan of great fantasy.

New Review - Hide'N Go Seek by Dale Mayer


As the second installment of the “Psychic Visions” series, Dale Mayer does not disappoint.  Kali Jordan, famed search and rescue worker, has been hiding her psychic abilities from everyone as long as she could remember.  Lately, the abilities have been getting stronger and unbeknownst to Kali, her success has caught the eye of a deranged soul. Suddenly, Kali and Shiloh, her rescue dog is in serious danger.

After receiving chilling letters from the serial killer, Kali has to work with FBI Special agent Grant Summers, a man who feels a strong bond with Kali even though they have only met once.  As the chemistry flows between them, Kali and Grant race to stop the lunatic.  Grant is determined to protect Kali and Shiloh at all costs.

This was a wonderful second installment!  From the beginning to the end, Ms. Mayer takes the reader on a thrill ride.  Until the end, the identity of the killer is a guessing game.  The development of the story and the characters is great and the drama is top notch.  I highly recommend this book if you a fan of thrillers, mystery and romance because this has it all!

New Review - The Ninth District by Douglas Dorow


The Ninth District by Douglas Dorow is an outstanding crime thriller.  Starting with the main character, FBI Special Agent Jack Miller, we are treated to a cast of well-developed and real-life characters.  Agent Miller is a star in the FBI, chosen to mentor a new agent with a high-profile case.  Jack's personal life, on the other hand, is unraveling.  His wife, tired of taking the backseat to his job, has decided to leave with the kids.  Jack wants nothing more than to solve this case quickly and convince his wife to come home.  The "Governor", as the criminal is known in the press, is cunning and ruthless.  He has no qualms about doing whatever it takes to achieve his goals, even if that means eliminating the agents who are hot on his trail.  He is a worthy adversary for the seasoned agent and provides so much depth to the story.

Dorow does an excellent job of drawing the reader into the world of both the agents and the criminal.  As the reader, you can't help but want Jack's family reunited and for him to catch this criminal.  All the characters, from the rookie Ross Fruen, the flirty news reporter and the "Geek Squad" Jack uses to deal with the techie issues, are well written and are integral parts of the story.  Everyone was well developed and you never felt any character served as a "filler".

If you are a fan of procedurals and thrillers, this is definitely the book for you.  My only issue with the novel is the ending was rather abrupt.  Since there is going to be a second book, I'm excited to see what is going on in the world of FBI Special Agent Jack Miller and if the "Governor" is truly gone.

New Review and Author Interview - T. Lynne Tolles, Author of Deadman's Blood



I was thrilled to see this book pick up where “Bloodstone Heart” left off.  The characters were so engaging and it’s nice to see a continuation of their saga. Josh has been accepted by the family and every thing seems to be going so well for the Larsens after all the turmoil when Dominic finds a mysterious prophesy.  Soon things are going horribly wrong with the death of Josh’s adoptive parents, Bernard suddenly missing and so many other calamities.  Time is running out to find out who the Dark Angel is before it’s too late.

This book does a wonderful job of not only merging the other stories into the final saga but also being new excitement to the “Blood” series.  This was truly enjoyable story full of twists and turns but also full of love and romance as well as betrayal.  Ms. Tolles has done an excellent job in crafting a wonderful paranormal tale.  Deadman’s Blood serves as a great and fitting end to a great series! I do look forward to more from this dynamic author!  

As always, Release Notes is thrilled to have a few words from the author.  This is the 2nd interview with T. Lynne Tolles and her words are still as insightful as ever.  If you are interested in the earlier interview for Bloodstone Heart, just click here. But for now, here is the latest from Ms. Tolles:

What interested you most about writing?

The same thing that makes reading intriguing…losing yourself inside another world. The only difference is that I writing it, not reading it.

Tell us a little about your main characters.
How did you come up with the storyline for Deadman’s Blood?

The storyline had been brewing in my head for a few books. I often get ideas for the next book from the previous books.
In Deadman’s Blood, all of the friends and family we’ve met along the way (through the series) are here to help the Larsen’s. Darby and Devon are still pretty prominent, but Josh, Anton and Dominic play huge roles in the last book. Can’t tell you why, you’ll just have to read it!

Who is your favorite character in your story? Why? 

I really like them all for different reasons.

Do you like happy endings or open endings?  

I guess I like both.  My books always have a happy ending and they always wrap up the particulars of the story line for that book, but I do like to leave it with a cliff hanger. 

Tell us a random fact about yourself.

I love scallops but am allergic to them.

Do you have any hobbies?

Sewing, Knitting, Cross Stitch and computer games. 

Are there any projects you working on?

Just started a new book for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) based on a witch and a hellhound pup she finds and raises.

Where can readers purchase your book? 

Pretty much anywhere. Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, All Romance, etc.

Where can readers connect with you on the web? 

I’m always on the computer but I go to facebook several times a day, and I can always be reached through my website (http://tlynnetolles.netfirms.com)
