Then the true murderer begins to hunt the hunters. Can I keep my family safe by continuing to follow orders like a wolf?

Book Review: The Wizard’s Butler by Nathan Lowell

by

The Wizard’s Butler was loads of fun! Is it a rip-roaring action packed urban fantasy? No. It’s just about a guy dealing with his demons who takes a job with a wizard. Does he believe in Wizards? No, this isn’t a world where magic is known, but it does exist. So do curses. So do pixies. There is a conspiracy by the Wizard’s relatives to get his property.

Can a non-Magical Butler help a Wizard against greedy, conniving, overly wealthy relatives, and magical enemies? Why yes! But how? (Non-magical) Butler powers activate!

Book Review: The Remnant Population by Elizabeth Moon

Book Review: The Remnant Population by Elizabeth Moon

What a lovely story of first contact! The Remnant Population is the tale of a crotchety elderly woman’s whose colony world is disbanded. The colonists are moved to a new world. She resists, remaining on her colony world preferring to die alone in her home. It turns out she is not alone. I’m not going to give too much away. It is not an action adventure story, but there is suspense, and wonderful characters.

Available on Amazon US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Also available on Kobo and GooglePlay.

Book Review: Winter Pilgrims (Kingmaker Book 1) by Toby Clements

by

Well, this was a lot of bloody, gory, emotional fun. Maybe I don’t mean fun. But despite this not being what I normally read, I really enjoyed Winter Pilgrims, a historical adventure about two ordinary people surviving in England during the War of the Roses, a civil war that raged from 1455 – 1487.

The book starts in 1460 when our main characters, a nun and a monk, are run out of their respective cloisters for angering a blood thirsty lord. This two pair have to make their way in a violent world filled with death, disease, and destruction. The book doesn’t skimp on the dirt and grime in this time period, or the lack of sanitation. Urine is used to clean wounds, and despite urine not actually being sterile, was probably better than most wanter at the time.
