The Wrath of Monsters

 Allison Lee and her friends must save the world without becoming the monsters they battle.

About the Book: Allison hoped her life would be free of torment after escaping the faeries. No sooner than she and her friends return home, the government imprisons Bria and Haji on an isolated military base where scientists experiment on them. Allison’s plan to rescue them backfires after she reveals Bria’s location to the faeries who then mount a raid to capture the faery child. With Bria’s blood, they will be able to create more enthralled super magicians to wage war against humanity.

            The attack on the military base is just the beginning. After an electromagnetic pulse knocks out the power for the entire west coast of the United States, it becomes clear more powerful foes than the faeries are invading Earth. Allison and her friends, who know well the dangers involved, have their work cut out for them in order to save the world they know.

Our Review: Faithful fans of the Allison Lee Chronicles will take this latest edition to the series and tuck it on their Books to be Treasured shelf. Despite a somewhat stilted beginning, newcomers to this series will be taken by Allison for her spirit, guts and devotion to her friends, as well as her determination to do the right thing. The action is non-stop; the dialogue is crisp and clear; the price to be paid is enormous. Do Not Miss this one.  

Based on a scale of 1-5, The Wrath of Monsters merits a 5.

The Birthright of Ezekiel Wilson

 About the Book: At twenty-one, Ezekiel Wilson is a man, grown up after hightailing it to Texas at the age of fifteen. He’s a valuable ranch hand, is prone to fisticuffs and brawling, although he doesn’t drink hard liquor. He has a fondness for saloon girls—until he meets a feisty Irish girl, Katie O’Neill, the sister of a cowboy he hires during a cattle drive. Katie is a healer, and although she lives with her aunt, who keeps a boarding house in Laredo, she soon comes to the ranch.

Before Zeke is able to properly court her, he suffers serious injuries and must be nursed back to health. Youngest of the five Wilson brothers, Ezekiel longs to become a family man, although he misses his mother and brother back in Kentucky. When the Wilsons become owners of the Double Deuce Ranch, Zeke realizes his family and the love they share are his birthright. With Katie at his side, he decides he can face anything.

Our Review: There are many fine points to be found inside this book; the author’s sense of family—of the blood or of the heart—is likely the strongest point of all. The love and respect forged by the Wilson men for their women and each other speaks volumes for author Sontheimer Murphy’s ability to tell a compelling story.

Based on a scale of 1-5, The Birthright of Ezekial Wilson merits a 5.
