comment "<p> Death note/ Crossover (Anime/OVA) - This is a story that literally leaves you speechless. You just do not know where to look and what to think, but think you do. Moreover, this is a wonderfully disturbing story in which every sentence is&nbsp;deliberately&nbsp;enjoyed by the author.</p><p> The author of this story has&nbsp;let loose their creativity and mind, giving an&nbsp;unadulterated&nbsp;view at&nbsp;how far they could travel in the world of the fantastical&nbsp;-&nbsp;and damn&nbsp;if they have not arrived.</p><p> Give it a try - &nbsp;if you think you can handle it!</p>"

comment "<p> This is a wonderful depiction of the life between Dee and Ryo (Randy)&nbsp;of the Anime Manga/OVA&nbsp; called&nbsp;FAKE.</p><p> You will not get a better plot, with such consideration given to characters, personalities, traits, and mannerisms than you will from this wonderful novel that involves family, love, prejudice, trust, friendship, loyalty and most importantly character growth.</p><p> As two detectives who found love from friendship against the punishing schedule and emotional turmoil of work, they have become two upstanding and loyal individuals to&nbsp;each other&nbsp;and those around them that they love and care for.&nbsp; And the story follows them on their tumultuous journey&nbsp;as they work through&nbsp;a very traumatic case.</p><p> The writing is smooth, humorous, strong and refined. And the strength of the writing is in the defined roles&nbsp;of the two strong main&nbsp;protagonists, who have normal hang-ups on life and relationship.</p><p> All of the stories by this writer are worth taking the time to read.</p><p> &nbsp;</p>"

comment "Nothing expresses quality than an author that can demonstrate slow burning desire wrapped in maturity than this one. It is delivered in a world you can believe this willl happen. It is real in its setting and true to the nature of adult interactions. Truly worthwhile read.&nbsp;"

comment "<p>Simply beautifully written.</p><p>An emotional freefall of restraint and constraint, which slowly unhidges as the world shrinks to a pinpoint of inevitability.&nbsp;</p>"

comment "<p>If ever a story was to enthrall with its orignality this is definitely the one. Easy paced and nicely focused, it is a pleasant and bewitching read. &nbsp;The world of the Eithos has been interrupted by the unscheduled arrival of <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Dr. Pyry Ronan who crash landed on a planet he only has limited knowledge about. The Eithos finds him fascinating and stays close, observing. In turn the stranded Dr takes comfort it the presence of a being with almost mythical existence and even more bewildering anatomy. A highly enjoyable read so far.&nbsp;</span></p>"

comment "<p>Exquisite internal dialogue in this character based novel.&nbsp; Nathanial Miklas &ndash; Mike Williams as he likes to be known - is an Empath, or in the realm of the supernatural, a non-human Paranormal Empath. In the human world, he is a dentist with Black-Mexican adoptive parents and a childhood of the most vicious kind.</p><p>He willingly uses his abilities to help others, in both his guises, but what he truly needs, is help to overcome his own pain. He does this in the most destructive way - marking his body. &nbsp;</p><p>Will he find someone to remove the pain? Or will he continue on this journey until he finally cuts too deep?&nbsp;</p>"

comment "<p> Evenfall&nbsp; is book 1 of&nbsp;four&nbsp;book series:</p><p> <strong>Evenfall&nbsp;</strong>Book 1/ <strong>Afterimage</strong> Book 2/ Interlude/&nbsp;<strong>Fade </strong>Book 3</p><p> The entire series can be found, with additional side stories,&nbsp; on the authors&#39; website, <em><strong>&#39;In the Company of Shadows&#39;</strong></em>:</p><p> http://www.aisylum.com/sonnyais/icos/story.html</p><p> Breathtaking&nbsp;post-apocalyptic world, where two individuals from two highly contrasting histories, are forced to work together for an organisation hidden behind the guise of pharmaceutical research and development, to maintain order&nbsp;and stop rebels/terrorists working against the social and political agenda.</p><p> One of those who work for the organisation is an assassin/spy&nbsp;the best&nbsp;and&nbsp;most unique&nbsp;in his field. No one has yet come close to his abilities or skills. However, he is considered unstable and dangerous, and is feared by the organisation&nbsp;itself,&nbsp;who&nbsp;continue to&nbsp;require&nbsp;his skills and services.&nbsp;</p><p> In order to reign in his personality and&nbsp;less stable traits, he is assigned a&nbsp;partner,&nbsp;&nbsp;a&nbsp;partner&nbsp;who has never worked in&nbsp;the field of&nbsp;espionage.&nbsp; A civilian, ignorant to the practises and&nbsp;laws&nbsp;of the organisation and the&nbsp;long reaching consequences of his&nbsp;assignment.</p><p> The&nbsp;road to&nbsp;this friendship is almost unforgiving.</p><p> This detailed world is riddled with the assessment of basic human needs, their rights and&nbsp;personal infringements. The psychology behind characters flaws, prejudices, and most of all, the need to survive. It asks the reader many questions, but the&nbsp;most important of all, &lsquo;How do you survive in world where you are so in-bedded in the system, that your&nbsp;life is determined by&nbsp;they system?&rsquo;</p><p> It is an&nbsp;intricate and structured piece of work, complex and strong willed.&nbsp;An action move in text,&nbsp;where the&nbsp;intensity&nbsp;is in the detail.</p><p> A tempered read that embraces the probabilities of a mirrored&nbsp;futuristic regime.</p>"

comment "<p> A fabulous story about a Native American President of an advertising company, learning to become &lsquo;human&rsquo; again, after a failed relationship six years before.</p><p> That particular&nbsp;relationship and other damaging&nbsp;experiences in his earlier life, left him bitter, cold and a devil to work for. Making his employees suffer his wrath&nbsp;whenever he felt&nbsp;irritated or upset.&nbsp;And he was&nbsp;living a troubled&nbsp;life&nbsp;unable to exorcise his demons, as they took hold of him.</p><p> Then his life was rudely interrupted by someone, who&nbsp;could&nbsp;see through his fa&ccedil;ade and decided he was worth pursuing.</p><p> A superb tale of past pain, realised love and trying to find closure in a life where so much had gone unsaid.</p><p> A wonderful&nbsp;cast of friends as supporting characters,&nbsp;that&nbsp;makes this story a&nbsp;cracking great&nbsp;read!!!</p>"

comment "<p> A very simple and emotional story about a boy called Shawn, and the psychological and physical trials that have plagued his life, and&nbsp;his best friend, Ryan, a constant strong presence in his life, throughout his childhood into adulthood.&nbsp; Ryan,&nbsp;throughout the story&nbsp;becomes&nbsp;Shawn&#39;s&nbsp;friend, brother, protector, family, voice and in the end, lover.&nbsp; It is a tale of love eventually finding a home.</p>"

comment "<p>A harrowing, bitter tale of an orphan who was sold at a very young age and since then, knows no other life, other than pain, suffering, and torture.&nbsp;</p><p>The story is strong and almost painful to read, but the writing is determined and never holds anything back or shies away from disclosing the cruel facts of what&nbsp;the submissive young boy has to endure.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>You will be thinking about this story for a long time&nbsp;after,&nbsp;as it digs deep into your consciousness.</p>"

comment "<p> Aggressive story about a reluctant submissive Casey in a wolf pack with a strong dominant alpha male, Mason, who wants to claim him as his mate. The problem is Casey and Mason are from two different animal packs, which makes them, in reality incompatible.&nbsp;</p><p> The story is a progressive one, from a young Casey through to a mature man; how he joined the pack and then left, and then the journey back again.&nbsp; Wonderful descriptive writing with a strong plot from start to finish.&nbsp; Great read!</p>"

comment "<p>Cleverly written story about a slash writer whose life is more or less imitating his story. &nbsp;It is funny observant, insightful&nbsp;and full of humour. And his story&nbsp;incorporates real reviews he has received from the actual&nbsp;story! &ndash; Intelligent, clever, witty,&nbsp;just&nbsp;some of the words I&nbsp;would use to describe this story - A must read,for the humour&nbsp;alone.</p><p>His other&nbsp;one-shot - &lsquo;So you want to write slash&rsquo;&nbsp;is an absolutely&nbsp;hilarious&nbsp;parody about how to write fan fiction.&nbsp; Nothing is left unsaid, and he writes with such enthusiasm&nbsp;and pace that it will have you laughing out loud - remember to read everything, the devil&nbsp;is in the detail.</p>"

comment "<p> Haunting work of fiction, about a lone vampire, who builds a strong relationship with a boy he meets, one night. They relationship takes them on an emotional journey: sadness, which stems from their life path; pain, as they are forced into situations they are unable to change; happiness, when they finally find each other, and sadness from loss and sacrifice. A lovely read.</p>"

comment "<p> A unique story that requires the reader to think about an interesting&nbsp;situation as it unravels.</p><p> It is thought provoking and could be classed as a very well scripted play,&nbsp;to be performed as a&nbsp;stand&nbsp;alone drama, as&nbsp;the&nbsp;three main characters solely drive each chapter and situation.</p><p> It asks you&nbsp;to understand the&nbsp;thoughts of the&nbsp;captive, and the&nbsp;motivations&nbsp;of&nbsp;the captors, and in turn, deception and&nbsp;truth.</p><p> It is clandestine in nature, which&nbsp;makes it an enticing read.</p>"

comment "<p> <u><strong>Second book of a trilogy</strong></u></p><p> Sequel to &#39;On The Line&#39; book 1</p><p> The story continues with Edward and Michael leading the way in this revered story. Once again we are taken on a journey of intrigue and unrest, which see the relationship struggles of our characters, using&nbsp;bold and evocative&nbsp;writing. However, we have a greater insight into the twisted world of the family that are tethered to the two protagonists,&nbsp;which lead to&nbsp;further&nbsp;upheaval.&nbsp;</p><p> A more sedate, however, more&nbsp;in-depth focus on the&nbsp;background of the&nbsp;characters.</p>"

comment "<p> Absolutely fantastic story of a human caught in a world of dominant evolved cats.&nbsp; It is clever, at times&nbsp;cute, and amazingly humorous.&nbsp;</p><p> There is a lot of &lsquo;action&rsquo; and as the story progresses it becomes more robust and a great read.&nbsp;</p><p> Fantastic full bodied and full blooded characters, give plenty of food for thought!&nbsp; And the internal dialogue between the two main characters is brilliant, and any misunderstandings that may occur due to the language barrier&nbsp;to&nbsp;further&nbsp;complicate an already complicated situation, usually does, with&nbsp;hilarious consequences.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p> It is heart warming, disarmingly captivating, and sexy.</p>"

comment "<p> The character preservation in this fiction never detracts from the&nbsp;objective of the story and retention of the each character remains throughout.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p> The positive successive steps taken by the characters, is one that is not sugar coated nor&nbsp;seen through rose&ndash;tinted glasses. It is&nbsp;logical and definitive.</p><p> It is a challenging, thoughtful and a determined piece of writing. My favourite part is the stillness&nbsp;to the ending, which makes it a good read.</p>"

comment "<p> This is a fine romantic story that is elegant and simply endearing, nicely written and easy to read.</p><p> A&nbsp;warm romance with some angst, but mainly a story of outreaching and being there for someone when they are in need.</p>"

comment "<p> <strong><u>First book of a&nbsp;trilogy</u></strong></p><p> An outstanding novel, one of the best you will read for a long time to come. It sets and defines excellence in its truest form. Superb character placements,&nbsp;plot and awesome writing skills, makes this story a must read.&nbsp;&nbsp;An unrelenting fast paced plot which will have you on the edge of your seat, as the drama unfolds.&nbsp;It has action, crime, humour, mystery/suspense with a dash of supernatural.</p><p> The language is effective and cleverly employed and every word has meaning. The story goes for the jugular, and makes no bones about taking you on a&nbsp;rollercoaster ride of emotional turmoil&nbsp;of&nbsp;each character, through well crafted conversation and internal dialogue.</p><p> The main&nbsp;story and underlying subplots&nbsp;are&nbsp;the backdrop for strong, well defined and dynamic characters so true to life,&nbsp;you&nbsp;feel a vested interest in&nbsp;their hopes, dreams and successes. They have nuances, challenges,&nbsp;beliefs, values and more often than not,&nbsp;skeletons in the&nbsp;closet.&nbsp;This is&nbsp;all clearly defined by a skilled writer, who has a gift of conveying, with every line&nbsp;exemplary progressive character development.</p><p> To say this story is awesome is an understatement, but there just are not enough adjectives to describe this epic&nbsp;tale.&nbsp;There may be a need to&nbsp;create&nbsp;new ones. A masterpiece of fiction.</p><p> &nbsp;</p>"
