Jeff Bailey Reviews Between Heaven And Hell by E.L. Irwin

 


Between Heaven And Earth, the second book and conclusion of the Guardian Series by E.L. Irwin was absolutely perfect. I found it to be a great romantic fantasy. I was sorry to see that it may be the end of the Guardian Series. I would read a dozen more by Irwin. The variety and depth of the characters is fascinating. It shows so much imagination. Yes, there was romance and, yes,, there was fantasy, but there was so much more. The story was intriguing and complex and there were many heart-stopping twists. I could easily see the Guardian Series going several more books. It is a series, I would recommend reading book one, Between Earth And Eden, first there is so much than the prolog could not contain that adds to the story, I wouldn’t have missed it. So good. I highly recommend both books for the fantasy and the romance reader.

Jeff Bailey Reviews The Evil Men's Book Club by T. C. Schueler

 


The Evil Men’s Book Club by TC Schueler was an absolutely delicious and unique read. I understand that there really is an Evil Men’s Book Club and that this book is based on a ‘true story’ – fabulous. But that’s a story for a later time. Maybe even a movie based on the ‘true story.’ In the book, the requirements for membership are: be evil (tongue in cheek), select an evil book and come to the bar. That’s it. Reading is optional—drinking beer is not. So what kind of evil men? Why - bikers, guerilla warfare, old money, gunrunning, extortion, cultism, kidnapping, PTSD—even St. Nick. This is all presented in great fun and added real enjoyment to the story. What I particularly liked in this read was the dialog and Schueler’s ability to tell the story through dialog rather than describing the scene and action. Loo Spicotti said, ‘Don’t hit that man.’ Rather than 'Spicotti tried to stop them from fighting.' Excellent. I may read it again just for the dialog.
