Smashwords book reviews by WendyB
- Glamour (Rae Wilder #1)
on Feb. 18, 2011
This was one of the first e-books that I read on my kindle, and I am looking forward to reading many more from this author. Good storyline and characters, a really enjoyable read.
- The Good Die Twice
on Feb. 25, 2011
I read this immediately after reading Sara Morningsky, and I was not disappointed. Very well written, characters that draw you in and a story that grabs your attention and keeps it.
- When the Dead Speak
on Feb. 25, 2011
I enjoyed this book, I liked the characters in it and look forward to reading more about them in the future.The plot is good but I don't want to go into detail and spoil it for anyone that hasn't read it yet.
- The Zagzagel Diaries: Forsaken
on Feb. 26, 2011
A very talented author to make you care about the characters and want to know more about them in such a short story.
- To be Loved
on Feb. 26, 2011
A fun read with a nice twist.
- Tears for Hesh (short story)
on Feb. 26, 2011
A great short story,but hard to review without giving away too much.
- Kept (Paranormal Romance/Urban Fantasy: Blood Lust, novella 1)
on March 07, 2011
I enjoyed this book. The main character was well thought out and different from other types of were animals that I've read about, in attitude as well as size. Would have liked a bit more background, but you can't have it all in a short book like this. I will be quite happy to pay to read more from this author, I just have to figure out how to buy things in dollars without the bank charging more to convert the payment than the price of the book.

This could be a good story if the author could stay on topic.
The general idea here is interesting, but there are a lot of distractions from the plot.Example - "Linda blushed at the sight of Jack she was clearly on the hunt for a relationship, and she would gladly settle for Jack". I could find no basis for this sentence, and it leads to nothing. There are a few other throw away lines like this that have no seeming connection to the plot and do nothing to enhance the story.I hope that other people with more experience of giving constructive criticism will read this story and comment as I feel that I may not have been of much help to the author, and as his idea is a good one and the story is free I think he deserves the help so we can all benefit from his future publications.
- Blindsight:: A Mirus Short Story
on May 14, 2011
Ms Nolan packs quite a lot into short story and tells it well, but I felt that a couple of things were left hanging at the end. I immediately went to check if her other books are about Ransom or Isla so I could find out more. Sadly I could see no mention of either, but I am tempted to buy both books anyway as this short story was such a good appetizer for the series.
- The Point
on June 01, 2011
Nicely written and gently chilling, happy to recommend this story as I thoroughly enjoyed it.
- Ghost Writer
on Sep. 26, 2011
A novel concept and very well written, an excellent short story. This was the second story that I have read by this author and I intend to read as many more as I can find.
- The Other Iron River, and Other Stories
on Sep. 26, 2011
I loved both stories in this book, both are very original and well written. I really do recommend that you read them if you like something a little haunting and unusual.
- The Bellhound - Four Tales of Modern Magic
on Sep. 26, 2011
Excellent stories, I would love a Bellhound of my own.
- Arcane Solutions (Discord Jones 1)
on Feb. 19, 2012
One of the best books I have read recently, full of interesting and original characters. Discord is a real "kickass" heroine who is still learning about her powers, heaven help the opposition when they are fully developed. There is not one boring character in this novel, and I can't wait for the next book in the series.
