The BookViral Review:
Dark, edgy and compelling Dusks and Dawns proves an imaginative read for Supernatural Fiction fans with Ralph not only telling a superb story but ably managing to avoid the spectre of predictability which seems the blight of the genre.
There are few things more rewarding in Supernatural Fiction than good plot twists, but get it wrong and authors risk leaving their readers feeling swindled. Ralph, however, pitches it just right through multiple character perspectives, giving us just enough to ensure momentum doesn’t falter whilst narrative elements of gore and demonic scheming are nicely balanced.
Central to Ralph’s plot is Jacob Miller and it’s through him that Ralph give us something different. And these days, that’s the sort of thing all readers should be demanding. He’s caustic, conflicted, disenchanted and energetic and through Ralph’s nicely nuanced prose we feel his sense of isolation amongst the pious population of New Hope.
Perhaps more important though is that Ralph has a firm grasp on his genre material. There’s no outlandish silliness that flat out annoys many of the genre’s readers and when you stand back it’s refreshing to find that his plot stands up to scrutiny to give us a tremendously entertaining read! Not only maintaining psychological tension but encouraging a little reflection on the true nature of evil.
A powerful start to Ralph’s God-fearing People series, Dusk and Dawns with its nail-biting cliff hanger ending is highly recommended!
Every debut novelist faces the challenge of constructing an entirely new world or delving into the mysteries of this one but with THE LIGHT WITHIN THE DARKNESS Schimanski seems to have embraced both and it proves an intriguing choice.
For the most part, many of the newest releases in military science fiction merely flit over their cornucopia of SF concepts. But seeking to use rather than explore them, Lancaster gives us something highly original with Deep Range providing his readers with a genre familiar read without the clichés!
Readers love tropes and publishers know they sell books but there is always room for something new.
A child’s imagination is a wonderful thing. The suspension of disbelief comes easy to them. As we get older we think in terms of our willingness to suspend our critical faculties and believe something surreal whilst sacrificing realism and logic for the sake of enjoyment.
Should writers write what they know about or has this age-old sage piece of advice become something of a cliché.
Heroes come and go. That’s certainly true of the fictional variety where very few linger in the mind beyond the last page of a novel. So what makes the perfect fictional hero?
