Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I got at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 60% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Books I have authored.

Many times I receive books for FREE to give them an honest review. I do not get paid to give a good or bad review. Spotlights are promotional and should be regarded as advertising for the book spotlighted. Regardless of where or how I got a book, my review will be as honest as I can make it.

A Time of Torment by John Connolly


This book was good but could have used some back story.  It is clear that Charlie Parker, Angel and Louis are good guys who are "bad".   They appear to have had occult experiences in the past and have persevered.   This story introduces them to the Dead King and the Cut an area of ill repute in West Virginia.

The people of the Cut are isolationists at best and criminally insane at worse.   They have come to an accommodations of sorts with their neighbors by avoiding deprivations in their own backyard. 

Charlie Parker and his crew are private eyes of a sort.  I'm still not sure of what kind of sort.   The crew takes the case of a convicted and released child molester who claims he was framed.  The story takes off from there.

There are some pretty graphic references in the book so if you are faint of heart, you may want to skip it.  I thought the story line was a bit confusing as to the motivations of Parker and company but it was still a good read.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
