Smashwords book reviews by Heather Mackay

  • Murder in the Second Row on Aug. 04, 2010

    Got stuck into the book today (travelling to work) and it reignited SOO many memories of the theatre I know....the smells, the carpet, the dodgy steps, the overused glass mugs, the instant coffee, the stocks of props/furniture/fabrics, the jokes... Awesome work. It really took me on a trip back in time to how the theatre used to be! Cool yet spooky to be reading a book set in a place I know so well. The pace kept up nicely and I loved the romance with Jack. Can we have a Jessica for our theatre, please? She’s such a handy person to have around!
  • Dare Seize the Fire on July 11, 2011

    These are beautifully-crafted stories by a writer with a deep understanding of human nature. The subtle interplay of characters reveals hidden currents of emotion as they explore themes of religion and conflict. The stories of each of the 3 characters are quiet and thoughtful gems.
  • From Rags to Riches Pearces' Ocean Book One on Aug. 01, 2011

    Wow, this is a great read. A strong story and very well-presented. It's a wide-ranging historical yarn with lots of action, well-described so it that makes you feel like you're right there. You really want to follow the characters to find out what happens to them - and plenty does. Lots of interesting glimpses into the life and times of the period, well wrapped in a story that will satisfy the most demanding armchair adventurer. Recommended.
