Book Review

Reviewed by David Jaggart for Readers' Favorite

Tamera Lawrence's The Slither Queen is a dark fantasy narrative that centers on Rachel Garth, an 18-year-old girl with the supernatural ability to transform into a serpent. Her life is anything but uneventful and predictable. Already, Rachel has discovered love, struggles to control her shapeshifting powers, comes from a troubled past, and has chosen her path in a battle between good and evil. Yet, quite unexpectedly, her complicated life is interrupted when an infant with similar powers telepathically sends her a distress call. The child in question is Prisca, a hybrid shapeshifter who has more in common with Rachel than both of them could ever imagine. Blake, the charismatic and dangerous leader of a serpent cult, is holding Prisca and her mother hostage. He intends to use the infant in a dark ritual unless Rachel can disrupt his vile plans first.

The Slither Queen offers an invigorating narrative that will have you hooked till the end. The character dynamics are what make this book a stellar read. Each character's development is bold, unflinching, and contains depth. For instance, Rachel and Ariel's 'frenemy' dyad, Rachel and Gabe's romantic connection, Prisca's noticeably advanced powers despite her age, and the full extent of Blake’s ruthlessness are just some of the intriguing story arcs that Tamera Lawrence masterfully explores in the book. Adding to this is the novel's flawless pacing—there isn’t a single stagnant moment. Every chapter reveals scenarios meticulously constructed to immerse readers further into a plot. In summary, The Slither Queen is a well-written, imaginative, and utterly engaging story, with just enough suspense and plot twists to keep readers on their toes. It will leave fans of dark fantasy fiction wanting more.

Order at: Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Walmart, Target and other fine retailors.

THE REAPING BOOK REVIEW

 

Agent Harry Steinbeck and Evangeline Reed are on a mission to solve a cold case. The duo both have tainted pasts that help mold them into the agents that they are. But they are in for a lot of trouble from the local residents living in Alku. This secretive town forces their residents to live in the old Alku traditions stemming from the original family lines. They faithfully practice their religion and pay homage to a witch, who will not be denied her blood lust.  These secrets are carried around in their gloomy lives, while their children suffer in hopes from a release into normalcy.

THE REAPING by Jess Lourey is a well written journey into a town’s superstitions and secrets. Harry with his grief over his lost sister and Evangeline, who deals with her own childhood traumas are the perfect pair to unravel the hidden clues as their own pain and grief aid them in solving the mystery of Alku and the hideous murders taking place.

Highly Recommended!
