Readers' comments (final chapter): 'great book', 'superb' 'wonderful, incredible, fantastic!' 'wow, just wow', 'wonderfully satisfying', 'I love this book' Status: completed Genre: mystery/suspense Target readership: adults Narrative style: psychological depth, frequent twists, semi-literary Length: 75,000 words (approximately 300 standard novel pages) Author: Michael D Smith, Wattys award winner (The Painted Altar, 2020, literary fiction) Extract: It was then that the barking came, somewhere a hundred or so metres off to my right. Not his usual playful response, but instead a focused, constant noise - a quick-fire volley of woofs like rounds from a machine gun. His 'found something' bark. My heart quickened along with my step, the flashlight boring through the darkness. The moist barks of the trees deflected against my outstretched hand; pernicious branches whipped at my thighs, my chest, my face. "Stay there boy! You just stay right there." The barking was incessant, grew louder with each step. At last the thick maze of tree trunks relented and there he was, framed in the soft-edged beam of the torchlight in the centre of a small clearing. His tail swooshing manically, snout directed at the ground. Stooping myself down beside him, I slanted the flashlight to the earth, squinted in close examination. Nothing - just dirt, twigs and damp leaves. A shallow grave. The lifeless body of Meghan Shaw had been tossed into a shallow grave.Complete
Clasp {Book Two of the Deathly Consequences Series}
After I left the Quad behind in NightShade years ago, I thought my heart was broken beyond repair. Shattered. Dust in the wind. But with my dreams of a future sustaining me, I pushed on. Forged by the flames of fucking Fate to fulfill that naive hope. After seven years of hiding, surviving, and fucking strength of will, I thought I had those dreams made into reality. Until even that was taken from me too. But I am fucking Thana Lillith Kage, the last true Necromancer left standing. And I will be damned if I let my enemies take my second family from me. Never. Again. {Warning. This book is still in the editing stages and I work a full time job out in the real world (fml) so the chapters are either a plethora of words or short and sweet. Like I said before, this is a slow burn RH. The beloved Quad will be more present in the next book while I focused solely on Thana in this one. I hope you all enjoy...to whomever reads this ❤️}Complete
