Book
Excerpt:
“I
agree we can’t afford to lose any more men but it’s too late to do anything
about it now,” Garring said. “We’ve lost two good cops. Tomorrow we’ll probably
lose more. Anger won’t help matters.” He retrieved a manila file precariously
perched on his in-tray. “I’ve read your report. It seems unlikely that Young
could have killed these officers alone. He must have had an accomplice. I also
feel that the report is somewhat exaggerated in respect to the carnage
described. What’s wrong with you? This sounds like nonsense from some B-rated
science fiction film.”
Patterson’s
dark eyes flashed indignantly. “With all due respect, Captain, if you read the
reports that came in from Vancouver, you’ll find a similar scenario.”
Garring
sighed and glanced at the stack of reports littering his desk. His head ached
from the low intensity lighting and the stale air. Not even the background
bustle of the station was a comfort to him anymore. “Do you have any idea how
many reports I receive each day, Patterson? I barely have time to sift through
the most urgent, let alone the lower priority.”
“I
would hardly call the murder of two cops low priority!” Patterson cried. He
reached for a battered manila folder lying on top of the stack and leafed
through a sheaf of papers. He pulled one sheet out and handed it to Garring.
“Read this, sir.”
The
Captain squinted at the paper then reached for his glasses and read more
intently. He shook his head as he scanned the text. “What the hell is this
bullshit? More slasher stuff. What are we dealing with here? Some kind of
demonic cult? You know Young quite well. Do you honestly think he had anything
to do with all this? For God’s sake! He’s one of our best men! You think he’s
suddenly turned into some kind of monster?”
Book Review:
Tempest is the 5th of 14 parts of a
story broken down into 14 books. In this
story Aislinn and Dylan are on the run.
They continue to be pursued by people with green aura’s who mean them
harm. They regularly run into people who
give them gifts, sometime worth a lot of money, which these people insist they
have passed down through their family specifically to give to them or more
specifically to Aislinn.
Each installment in the story gets
more intense and intriguing. Aislinn
develops powers which save them, but also terrify her. The more they learn the more questions they
and we have. I literally sit on the edge
of my seat waiting to see what will happen next. I actually found myself clenching my teeth
today because I was so worried. (yes I
tend to get a little involved in my story character’s lives, but still
clenching my teeth..!?.)
This is a definitely must read story
series. The adventure, romance,
suspense, fantasy, humor, creep factor, and good writing make this the perfect
summer, or any time, read.
I
give part 5 of the Samsara Chronicles 4 out of 5 clouds. Please leave me comments or questions you
have about this review, this series, or what you think will happen next. Thanks!
