I can understand research for the sake of research but naturally the government went to extremes in its uses. Lucas and Dr. Reese were my favorites. They both carried so much baggage that they should have dumped. This story is a must read for any Wilder fan!...more

Using a large cast of well fleshed out characters, Mr. Feeley churns out a tale of horror and romance that hit the small town of Maplewood. The back story of Veronica, her father and Riley is woven into the story beautifully giving the reader more info as the main story unfolds. Many of the characters are totally believable from the grandmotherly Mrs. Hatch to Rose the town gossip. Tommy and Hayden's story is well thought out and runs parallel to the main plot line so that there is a balance of each. Highly recommended read!...more
I loved this story. Pay close attention to the tags because the first four pages are extremely twisted and gruesome. It's smooth sailing if that bit I loved this story. Pay close attention to the tags because the first four pages are extremely twisted and gruesome. It's smooth sailing if that bit doesn't turn you off. Byron is the ultimate psychopath. All of his murders and there were many were psycho-sexual in nature but I had to admire his finesse. The story is a fast read with a story line that pulled me right along to what I consider the HEA ending. One other tag that I might add to this wonderful list is comedy. Maybe it's just me and I should be seeing a shrink but the ending of this excellent story had me laughing out loud. Just as an FYI, the DMC group is starting a group read of this book on October 26....more

I enjoy a good horror story and this one fit the bill it even had a romance woven in. I grew up on a reading diet of Stephen King when he was at his prime and while Mr. Inman is no Stephen King, the story shook me up. The characters felt real. Woody, Cathy, Bobby, and the twins went through hell and while not all of them walked out alive, none of them walked away unmarked. How do you kill pure evil? Give this book a try and maybe find out....more
What a trip down the rabbit hole this story was. High class male prostitute falls for a romance writer on his way to the top. Writer's ex wants write What a trip down the rabbit hole this story was. High class male prostitute falls for a romance writer on his way to the top. Writer's ex wants writer back and the whore gone. This action packed story goes from the riches of Chicago to the seedy side of male prostitution to the stark depravity of snuff movie making. Extremely well written, the story flows well through three different parts. Ayden and Niko are superb characters caught up in a crazy world of love and violence. Highly recommended. ...more

I may have gotten through it a bit easier is the slaves were grown men instead of poor young boys. I had to read this story as a documentary for educational purposes as I took no pleasure from it. It sickens me that such things go on in the world pretty much unchecked as law enforcement cannot get a toehold in these syndicates to break them. ...more

Hiram is an odd old per Mix a bloody horror story with a good deal of comedy and you wind up with this short gem about magic and religion gone wrong.

Unfortunately, Hiram is about to tangle with creatures from the abyss when the town preacher gets his hands on an ancient text. The town of Great Bay, N. H., lies in the seventh major confluence which is a thin spot between good and evil and Hiram is about to go for a wild ride. Highly recommended craziness....more

Vivian Archer recommended this wild ride through an emotional tornado to me. I found plots within plots as I went back and forth between Daniel's and Bel's thoughts. I ached for both men as the struggled together and apart for a way to keep Daniel from losing control completely. This is not a book to rush through but to savor and feel because in true Henry and Rock this story is another winner. The HEA is there yet the initial sleepwalking problem is also always present and no matter how hard Bel and Daniel try there are going to be slip ups. This beautifully written story only left me wanting much more from Ms Henry and Ms Rock. ...more

Ms Sparrow created a world very much like that in the television show Carnivale. Run by the mysterious Clovis, the Phantasmagoria needs an death to feed it and occasionally takes on a new player for a needed role. What kept the story alive and kind of creepy to me was the large cast of characters and all of the subplots peppered throughout the story. The dominant story was the interplay between Nick and Jacob/Torturo and the way that their relationship changed and evolved. I was at first let down by the epilogue but after thinking about it, I think it made perfect sense. Although the story begins as a m/m story with an under layer of m/f bits, the story is really more about love itself and how it stays the same regardless of the physical changes that occur between lovers. Beautifully written with a strange mind bending theme, this story is more than worth the price of admission but you may never get out the same. ...more
