Book Review: Nevada Noir By: David Arrowsmith

-

For such a short book, Nevada Noir took me on an extensive journey into some dark places that some people may try to pretend don’t exist.  The author’s determination to put me into the minds of the characters—their plans, their choices, their addictions, and their pains that they were experiencing—it did not go unnoticed.  To say that I enjoyed this book for all of its grit and drama might sound a bit disturbing, but that is exactly why I enjoyed it.  The characters became real people in mind.  Plus, I like when a plot comes full circle with a character’s story.  If you’re looking for a short read that has characters with raw depth, Nevada Noir should be on reading list.  I read this book in one sitting.  I just couldn’t put it down. 

Nevada Noir is available on Amazon Here.  As per my preferences, I picked up a paperback copy, but of course there is an ebook option.  You'll probably also be happy to find that Nevada Noir is enrolled in the Kindle Unlimited program, so subscribers can read for free!

BOOK REVIEW: Abandoned, By Vicky Ball

Vicky Ball’s second book, much like her first, tackles some challenging and unfortunate situations that we tend to overlook, or ignore.   Using her main character, Maddie, as a vessel, the author masterfully captured the feeling of growing up in an alcoholic home and feeling like there is nowhere turn and nowhere to run.  Then, a small glimmer of hope, something to grasp onto and fight for is dropped into Maddie’s life in the form of a family she never knew she had.  But when Maddie goes in search for this hope, she doesn't find exactly what she expected.   I really enjoyed the way the story moved fast and the way that the characters spoke with one another in a very real way.  I did have some trouble resonating with the characters at the beginning, but I attribute that mostly to the fact that the target audience is more teen/young adult, which I am not.  However, once the majority of introductions were completed, I was completely drawn in and could not put it down.  Well done!

Cover Options for The Gouge

I finished writing my crime/thriller novel, The Gouge, a few weeks ago.  The book has been sent off to the editor, and so now we wait.  I'm hoping to independently publish the book later this Spring.  But before I get to that point, I need to come up with a striking cover.  Admittedly, I am not the best at creating book covers.  However, I did come up with two different covers that I'm kind of excited about.  Have a look, and feel free to let me know what you think in the comment section, or just send me a message.  Thanks!
