Sue's Review:Wow - I am always a sucker for a good detective type story - and Amber C Carlyle did NOT disappoint me. Having never read anything by Ms Carlyle, I can honestly say that I hope to continue to read her books!!!
I wasn't really sure what to expect when I started this book - but I did love the way that Amber C Carlyle developed the story. Yumi seems to be all caught up in the mystery of trying to figure out what happened to her brother when he disappeared 10 years ago. With the fact that it takes place in New Orleans, makes the mystical type happenings seem real. (Not that they couldn't be). I don't write spoilers - but believe me, this book is so worth reading!!! And once you start reading it, you will find that it is hard to stop reading until you reach the end.
I was given a copy of this book for an honest review.
About the author:
Horror, Fantasy, Humor
Nothing thrills me more than a wonderful blend of those three elements, and that’s what I strive to bring to the words in my books: whether it’s an urban fantasy suspense/mystery, or a fantasy short story taking the reader down a dark and wayward road. Life is rarely so black and white to be just any one of these things, and humor can be as dark as it can be light.
It also has a great way of cutting the tension, even if not everyone finds it funny. That’s okay. It’s good that we’re all different in the end.
But, no need to fret. I try to incorporate my own weird, and probably twisted humor, into the things I discuss. Some are things that catch my fancy that I just need to share, others are serious topics that I can’t help myself but state. Most times, they will be the little things that inspire me to keep writing. I pull inspiration from my shows, movies, and games (video, board, and tabletop RPGs). The littlest thing can spark my brain into running a marathon disseminating the information until it resembles what it needs it to.
I want to share my passions in this world, and that’s more than just my own writings. I love to be engrossed by a world that let’s me walk its own twisted paths. It doesn’t have to be glamorous, and it doesn’t have to be happy. But it has to be a good story, and the best stories have to be shared. I want to share my best stories with you, and I want to share the stories by others that move me.
