Smashwords book reviews by Michael D. Britton
- The Harvest
on Jan. 20, 2011
This is a great short story by one of my favorite authors! You should buy all his stuff . . . you won't be disappointed.
- The Wishing Well
on March 30, 2011
Schibi has a way of really sucking you in. This story creates powerful feelings of tension and keeps the suspense right up to the very end. The characters are well-developed in just a few words. The Wishing Well seems to me like it could really be worked into a series or, better yet, a novel that tracks the full history of Harrison, his victims, and the mysterious truth of the wishing well itself. I look forward to reading more stories by David Schibi.
- Target Demo
on April 26, 2011
This was a fun read . . . Tatano clearly speaks from a grounded understanding of the news biz . . . and a deliciously cynical view of the politics "biz." A clever twist on the power of media!
- Centaur of the Crime
on June 25, 2011
Fabulous Forensic Fantasy! Michael Angel delivers a page-turning novel in a unique sub-genre with Centaur of the Crime. This author knows how to grab a reader, hook that reader, and pull that reader through a story - it's called terrific cliff-hangers. At the end of every chapter, you just want to read the next - like an addiction. Angel has built a rich fantasy world - Andeluvia - into which our likable leading lady Dayna Chrissie, an L.A. medical examiner, is thrust. The stakes are high, as "Lady Chrissie" must act fast to solve the murder of that realm's king and avert a devastating war. Twists, turns and action abound, with a highly entertaining level of humor and sophistication. The assembled allies - an outcast centaur wizard, a noble aging griffin, and an ostracized "bad luck charm" deer creature - form an "A-Team" of magical crime-solving and true camaraderie. I very much look forward to a sequel!
