The BookViral Review:
A prequel to Masked Intent: A Modern-Day Morality Play Greer’s Intermezzo proves another ravishing, romantic read that’s brimming over with style, intelligence and flashing wit.
A relatively quick read it’s a collection of short stories that share the origins of Alexa Winston and Mateo Da Rocha’s connection as Greer winepresses snapshots of Alexa Winston and Mateo Da Rocha’s lives before the events Masked Intent.
Greer creates characters with enough depth to hold together but not so much that they become too individualized or stubbornly complex. Her dialogue represents the way people would like to be able to talk. It’s witty and epigrammatic, and there are lots of lines on which to linger as she conveys naiveté, intellectual curiosity and romantic yearning. More importantly, she effortlessly develops romantic tension that is convincing, complicated and sensual.
Reads like Intermezzo depend crucially on the chemistry between its lead characters and in Alexa Winston and Mateo Da Rocha Greer has pitched it perfectly. Each of her ‘interludes’ are earnest, visually powerful and authentically engaging and as in Masked Intent, it’s in tone and insight that Greer’s confidence lingers as she continues to explore our relationship with the truth and how it drives our actions and motivations when it comes to our innermost desires.
Underlined by an intensity and lightness of touch that plays well to the brevity of Intermezzo Greer stylistically and thematically delivers a breathless appetizer for the bigger story in Masked Intent and it is unreservedly recommended!
Beginning with the marriage of Erc of Dalriada to his first wife Marca at the age of fifteen and covering the period up until his death in 474AD, Strittmatter gives us a rousing historical novel and a fine example of what can happen when good writing and extensive research come together.
Readers looking for a genuine nerve shredder need look no further than Tibury’s Tales From the P.I.T Crew: Case of the Wayward Son! An entertainingly eccentric supernatural thriller that envelopes the reader in a blood curdling nightmare it’s definitely one to be read with the lights on!
The fact is that few authors really master the art of suspense and those who do are the ones who come to understand its underpinning psychology.
Will reading be ‘a thing’ in the distant future? And what does it mean for writers of fiction? More importantly, what are we collectively doing to keep reading alive?
The current state of world politics and the relentless pace of change continues to prove a rich source of inspiration for authors writing political satire.
Near Death Experience’s or NDEs as they are more commonly called are not a new phenomenon; they’ve been reported throughout history and yet few subjects create so much division.
