The BookViral Review:
A novel about falling in love and looking back on the choices we make, Coming Home To Greenleigh is the new novel by Maya Rushing Walker and it proves a genuine treasure of a read. Comfortably managing to avoid the genres many syrupy pitfalls it’s a love story so sincere and positive that it quickly sneaks past our defences with a romance built on values and respect.
Like her debut novel, The Portrait (released under her pen name Cassandra Austen), this isn’t a disposable novel with a shelf life as short as its reader’s attention span. There’s real craft and ingenuity behind Walker’s prose. Both narratively and stylistically she creates meaningful conflict, believable characters, style and emotional honesty that brings her characters to life. Told from alternating perspectives, even Beth’s old house is underlined. First in its decay and then in its rebirth and it’s this attention to detail that makes Walker’s characters feel so real.
We never get the feeling that Beth and Shawn are trapped in the cycle of fake melodrama and brainless coincidences that sadly litter the genre. The plot proves refreshingly unpredictable as Beth finds herself torn between Shawn and Gunnar and we are kept on tenterhooks as she tries to figure out the right direction to take. She isn’t a stereotypical character who wears her angst on her sleeve. Her self-esteem keeps her centred. She’s smart and selfless. A reminder that one of the pleasures of reading a novel like Coming Home To Greenleigh is restoring our faith in people who genuinely care about us.
Another superb release from Walker and a must-read for fans of women’s romantic fiction, Coming Home To Greenleigh is recommended without reservation.
The enduring sorrow of those waiting for heart transplants is ripe for drama and Rowley grapples with provocative concepts in thoughtful terms whilst demonstrating a sure hand for staging scenes, creating strong characters and setting a tone.
Tautly paced and superbly written, this dark roller coaster Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction Fantasy is a must-read for readers wanting a genuine nerve shredder! A novel that makes the reader feel like an active participant in its unfolding horror it’s one to be read with the lights on!
As fantastical as science fiction seems, there is often something familiar about the incredible concepts dreamt up by its writers. In fact, not only familiar at times but eerily accurate about future advances. Is this some kind of scientific prophesy? Is there something sinister going on?
Why do some books go viral while the vast majority fall flat? You might think it’s about advertising. You might think it’s about having a great book. But are you right?
There are a number of essential techniques an author must master if they ever want to top a bestsellers list and none more so than the ability to deliver genuine suspense.
