Hello Ya’ll,

Welcome back to the small town of Bulwark, Georgia Last time I introduced you to the Sheriff Clay Finnes, of Bulwark

Bulwark was the prequel. We get the backstory on JB Stratton. He was the man that took care of the crash victims in Bulwark until the Police arrived.

JB’s wife, Ellie, died five years ago, and she was his everything, The love of his life. The Knowing, JB takes us back to the beginning, when first met Ellie.

JB Stratton was completely smitten with Ellie, like nothing he had ever experienced before. He was a starry- eyed football player with an unfulfilled dream of stardom.

A southern Georgia poor peanut farmer, he did have chance in a hand basket with her being a rich Yankee and all.

Miss Ellie captivated him, he felt an mesmerizing gravitation towards her like nothing before.

Something his Grandma had called what he was feeling… The Knowing!

Ellie only had eyes for JB, even if that meant going against her parents. This fated couple will see their share of obstacles, in this intriguing, creative book.

This heartwarming, twisty with a little supernatural read, with well developed three dimensional characters.

The authors ability to create a stunning storyline within a shorter page count book, is no easy feat. That just shows you that Brit Lunden is an amazing talented author. It takes seamless narration, along with incredible plot pacing to accomplish this.

I loved reading this impeccably written tale, and look forward to reading more from this very talented author.

Forged by Iron, by Eric Schumacher, is the first installment in the Olaf’s Saga, Book One

Eric Schumacher, is the immensely talented bestselling author of Hakon’s Saga comes Forged by Iron, the first in a series of thrilling tales about Olaf Tryggvason, one of the most legendary and enigmatic kings of the Viking Age.

Norway, AD 960.

The legendary tale of King Olaf Tryggvason, comes thrilling to life as told by his sworn protector’s Torgil, a twelve summer old’s point of view.

Torgil, is the son of Torolv, Loose-beard, who lords over the island of Jel, along the coast of present-day Norway. Father and son are oath-bound to protect King Trygvi and and the young Prince Olaf, who is 8 summers old and his mother queen Astrid.

Harald Eriksson, seeks the wife and heir of King Trygvi, who have escaped under the protection of Torolv and his young son Torgil. This riveting, adventurous journey all the way through Norway into Sweden and to what is now Estonia.

This incredible book is richly detailed giving the opportunity for the reader to experience the trials and tribulation through the the eyes of Torgil. Shedding light on the charismatic, sometimes impulsive Prince Olaf.

This action packed historical fiction is one that I tore through. Brilliantly executed, the author ability to catapult you into this Viking saga is astonishing. From the exceptional atmospheric imagery to the precision character development, you can see why this author has a notable following.

The characters leap of the page, and the authors seamless writing flows perfectly. From start to finish I completely immersed myself within this Nordic adventure. The author cleverly sets up the ending for the next book in series.

This absorbing coming of age Viking saga is one that you will remember long after you close the book. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys reading exquisite historical fiction.

I exceptionally enjoyed this book, my father and oldest brother are named after

King Olaf Tryggvason. …Olaf S. McDavid

A Feast of Phantoms+ Book Review +Giveaway

A Feast of Phantoms
Kat Ross
(Lingua Magika, #1)
Published by: Acorn Publishing
Publication date: February 18th 2020
Genres: Adult, Fantasy, Steampunk

Lingua Magika is Kat’s latest series, a fast-paced Western steampunk fantasy with a dash of romance and adventure! A Feast of Phantoms is Book #1, with at least two more to follow.

THE JOB

It was supposed to be simple.

Help Marshal Sebastian Hardin escort his prisoner one stop on the railway to Charter Oak.

Just one stop.

But when that prisoner is a savant who talks to ghosts, even the simplest plans have a way of falling apart.

THE LAW

Sheriff’s Deputy Ruth Cortez always does the right thing. Lucky Boy is a company town, dependent on the rich and powerful Carnarvon family. Besides which, the charismatic Sebastian Hardin isn’t an easy man to say no to. When his transport derails in the middle of the prairie, Ruth begins a relentless manhunt that leads straight into the dark heart of the Carnarvon empire.

THE FUGITIVE

Lee Merriweather favors sharp suits and fast trains – especially when he’s stealing them. At the ripe old age of 18, he’s managed to become the most wanted criminal in three territories. Lee can’t resist playing cat and mouse with a small-town deputy, but what starts as a game becomes deadly serious.

THE FIXER

Sebastian Hardin is the Carnarvons’ right hand, loyal to the death and willing to keep any secret to protect the family. They want Lee alive, but with the young savant’s disturbing abilities it won’t be an easy proposition. Whoever catches Lee gets the keys to the kingdom and the Carnarvons aren’t the only ones hunting him down. Sebastian has enough problems without falling for Deputy Cortez – but you can’t always choose who you love.

THE PHANTOMS

They terrorized the settlers until Calindra Carnarvon learned to speak their language. Her empire relies on controlling their telekinetic powers, but Lee Merriweather could destroy it all. And not even Lee suspects the shocking truth of the phantoms’ real nature.

A Feast of Phantoms
Kat Ross
(Lingua Magika, #1)

This book was received from the Author, and Publisher, in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

A Feast of Phantoms is the first book in the Lingua Magika series, This fast paced reimaged Old West styled Steampunk. Kat Ross, and a Feast of Phantoms, doesn’t disappoint.

Ruth Cortez is young determined southern drawl lady, she also has a phantom in her gun. A loyal small town deputy, that does things by the book, when duty call her elsewhere, she leaves her comfort and strikes out to hunt down villains convict.

She is taken by surprise when the the man and his crimes she seeks is not what they seem to be. Ross is an auto by for me and, I am a HUGE fan of Kat Ross’s Gaslamp Gothic books,

With an amazing cast of characters and notable sub characters that keep you interested and hanging on all the way to the very end. If you are like me, and Independent strong willed woman. Along with love complex genres that are unique, than you are going to love A Feast of Phantoms.

A complex, engrossing, fast-paced, held my attention and extremely entertaining read!
