Self-Publishing Book Review of the Week

Self Published Book Review of the Week: Liquid Soul

Liquid Soul

by Matthew Carter

This self-published book was recently reviewed by www.midwestbookreview.com:

Certain addictions drive people to do things that are condemnable. “Liquid Soul” is the story of a man who calls himself an agent of the crimson exchange, who can live and experience the lives of others, but only if they die by his hands. The experiences are addictive, and the man, who has nothing else to strive for, only finds the killings continue. “Liquid Soul” is an intriguing journey into experience and memory, highly recommended.

Vineyard Days

by Gene Pisasale

This self-published book was recently reviewed by www.midwestbookreview.com:

There are worse things to lose than one’s money. “Vineyard Days” is the story of murder in Martha’s Vineyard set in the frenzy of last year’s market collapse. But Jim and Martha soon find out there are those who have lost more than their fortune when a grisly double murder is found on a nearby yacht. Not how they expected to spend their vacation, they find themselves entwined in the investigation. “Vineyard Days” is a fine and well crafted story that uses recent events as creative fuel for the fire.

Self-Published Book Review of the Week: Aurora of the Northern Lights

Aurora of the Northern Lights

by Holly Hardin

This self-published book was recently reviewed by www.midwestbookreview.com:

“Aurora of the Northern Lights” is a Christmas tale of an orphan girl born of a mixed marriage of human father, William, and a Northern Fey mother, Mistletoe. Though Aurora is rejected by the townsfolk after her parents die of illness, a witch gives her a beautiful crystal charm to protect her, and tells her to seek her home and destiny in the forest. In the forest Aurora meets the Woodland Fey, who also reject her as not like them, but their queen directs Aurora to the far north and gives her a warm woolen cloak and an oaken staff. Aurora trudges northward into the frozen cold white and she finds a miraculous castle. Inside she is welcomed by Santa Claus to the Great Elf Hall, where she finds a woman with dazzling white hair who remembers her mother, Mistletoe. The great white elf lady is Aurora’s grandmother, and she welcomes Aurora to a whole new world and a new life. The touching story of Aurora is told in extended verse, and the lush, contrasting dark and light paintings illustrate the story perfectly. Themes of prejudice, intolerance of difference, and courage and strength in adversity are explored. A paperback also available in ebook form, “Aurora of the Northern Lights” has extended appeal to elementary age children (8-13).
