Smashwords book reviews by Dianne Gowanlock

  • When the Dead Speak on Dec. 08, 2010

    This Author is an excellent storyteller. I so enjoyed this book that I am now reading the second book in the series and plan to read book 3,4,&5 as well.
  • The Skull on Dec. 29, 2010

    Another excellent book! Don't think it is just for teens because it's about a teen. Adults will find it quite interesting too. I love the way the author keeps you guessing right to the end. I hope there is a sequel to this.
  • Silver Moon (Moon Trilogy Part III) on Feb. 01, 2011

    This trilogy is an excellent read. I enjoyed every page.

    (no rating)
    I don't normally read fantasy so when I began reading the free copy of Book 1 'Call of The Herald' I didn't know if I'd enjoy it. Well,after only reading 50 pages I knew that I wanted to read the whole series. I'm intrigued with the story line and the characters. You can SEE the different lands and people and you want to know what happens to them. I look forward to finishing Book 1 and then reading Book 2 & 3. A great series.
  • Dragon Ore on March 19, 2011

    This whole series is absolutely spell binding! The author grabs your attention with his characters and storyline and holds your attention until the last page is read. I wish there was a book four!
  • Fatal Storm on April 20, 2011

    I've enjoyed this 5th book in the series as much as the others. The tension caused by the attraction between the main characters is well written. All the characters and plots are very intriguing. I am hoping there will be a sixth book in the series.
  • The Gumshoe Diaries on Feb. 28, 2012

    I didn't know to expect from this genre of hard-boiled detective. I found it interesting. I did wonder why one of the main character's death wasen't explained. I guess that adds to the mystery.
  • Destiny Kills on May 06, 2012

    Another good read from S.D. Tooley. I've read all her books and have enjoyed each one.
  • Not a Very Nice Woman on Aug. 22, 2012

    A very interesting book on a crime that ocurred in a small town in England. The town histories are well thought out and presented. The details about each character in the story made them very believeable. My one negative comment would be that the author should have proof-read his book more closely. There were spelling and grammatical errors.
  • Dying to Get Published on Aug. 31, 2012

    I really wanted to enjoy this book, but I found the plot unrealisticand slow and the main character was just plain ditzie.
  • Living and Dying in the Hamptons on Oct. 21, 2012

    A very intriguing plot. I thought I had the culprit/s figured out several times and yet the ending still surprised me. The characters were well thought out and portrayed and I liked the ghost aspects too.
  • He Needed Killing on Nov. 11, 2012

    A good read. I, being female, could of done without some of the 'guy' stuff, but I enjoyed how Crawford the main character reasoned his way to solving the crimes. His 'little grey cells' were being used even when the reader might think he was just floundering around.
  • The Vaporizer on Feb. 27, 2013

    I have read all the Chase Dagger books and have loved reading each one! The characters are interesting and unique. The plot is well paced. Way to go Lee Driver, another winner book!
  • Deadly Stillwater on March 03, 2013

    Excellent read. Look forward to other books by this author.
  • Under Mary's Oak on Jan. 30, 2014

    I enjoyed this book very much. The characters are well thought out and are quirky in their own ways. The settings are described in a such a way that you can picture them. I'm sure the next book will be just as enjoyable.
