    Interesting read about a time slightly before my own and a place I've never been to, but can imagine perfectly from Roy's descriptions. The last couple of pages were the hard-hitting part. If Roy wanted to make this a little more to the gut, he could cut or condense the first four pages and make them more of a set-up to the ultimate lesson he learned at the end. But I suspect that is not his purpose with this "essay" so He should leave it be. It's a good solid recollection of an important time in his life. Well done!

    I really like this story. It has a mythic quality about the language that draws me in. I like how the description of the creatures' physicality was kept to a minimum, allowing me to create a real wonderland of interesting creatures out of my own imagination. Nicely executed! I shall read more!

    Some great insight here. Basic ideas, yes, but Mike expounds on them in a very down-to-earth, relatable way. I'm not quite young enough, but I want Mike to be my adopted dad for a few months to get access to more of these lessons.

    Many reviewers throw around the word craft, but Stephan Loy has truly crafted an original and compelling suspense story. Does it happen to pull in the sci-fi and drama genres? Yes. Does it have engaging, well-realized characters that have arcs which each move with the tide of the overall book? Yes. There are obvious ties to the popular writing of Koontz and Deaver but what I enjoyed was that Loy tackled a topic that many may consider a bit taboo: extreme religious fanaticism. It is a topic to which I am not overly exposed but Loy tackles it not only with fervor but a deftness which left me satisified that his expertise on the matter is absolute. The story moves along at a good clip. My only criticism might be that there was a great deal of initial back log to the characters which could have unfolded a little more organically as the story progressed. Done poorly, however, and this may have slowed down the later chapters so I hesitate to even mention it. Well done, Stephan. Keep writing! Keep sharing!

    "His smile grew teeth." Great story!

    This is a stellar novelette. Jacobs does a superlative job of establishing both the threat and the humanity and then seamlessly transitions from one to the other in a style Rod Serling would have admired. The eerie underpinnings are present in every scene and the ending is pitch perfect.
  • Enemies and Playmates on Oct. 18, 2010

    I am happily surprised with how much I enjoyed this book and how I ripped through it once I got started. Initially, I hesitated to pick this one up because I'd seen it billed as a suspense or detective story mixed with romance. When I hear "romance" I think of the classic cliches of the genre and this usually doesn't appeal to me. However, with "Enemies and Playmates", Helle has engineered a world bereft of the usual cliches and instead crafted it with all the pacing and movement of the best novels in these genres. I won't ruin it for anyone by spilling plot details but I will recommend this book for readers who like to have their heart rate tested. And if you like fiction that also draws you into truly caring about characters as they navigate through their struggles, then you'll enjoy this one. A fine balancing act!

    Deliciously, simply, wicked. A great idea to tell a tale about a character from a longer work. Nice!

    What a downright fun introduction to the world of author Ann Mauren! It's just a glimpse, mind you, but the prose here is so inviting and tight, that a glimpse is all you need. I'm looking forward to the entire novel from which this is excerpted! Thanks for sharing, Ann.
  • Mayne Attraction: In The Spotlight on March 30, 2011
    star star star star star
    Ann Mauren’s “In The Spotlight” introduces us to the veritable Ellery Mayne. She’s a young, seemingly naive, affable sort with an infectious personality. You can’t help but grow to love her in the span of roughly five pages and then root for her as she tangles with Goths, undercover security personnel, worldly millionaires and even has the bones to stick up for a bedraggled restaurant waitress. Her wordplay and goofy sense of humour put us in touch with her as a real person and not just a character. She’s a coin collector, and an introvert finding her shell a bit too small these days. And she’s so genuine and forthright with her emotions, her opinions and her way of life. When Ellery falls into the warm embrace of love, we can’t help but hope she comes out better and stronger, not scarred and wanting. I hoped Ellery would grow and evolve, and, boy, did she. “In The Spotlight” is the first of many for Author Ann Mauren. It’s written with personal attention and comes out the other end with miles of personality stretched behind it. The book achieves a sense of realness, whether Mauren has us scuttling around the Kentucky speedway or up the rocky inclines of a hiking trail near Lake Louise. I was inside this book, and I bet you’d like to be inside it too.
