This was a well researched and compelling take on the story of the first white woman who crossed the Continental Divide, based on a true story- Hedlund adds dramatic flair and her own twists to what must of been a terrifying and harrowing journey. She also takes the cheese out of convenience marriage stories and riddles it with stolen glances, passionate thoughts and simple progression. Towards the end of the story there was so much tension and sexual attraction going on that I wanted to jump in the book and drag both of them into a bedroom and lock the door. Mostly due to the fact that Eli and Priscilla were each sharing their secrets with us- the readers- but they were keeping everything from each other, making the romance development frustrating, sometimes its a hard place to know where the story is going, but waiting for the characters to catch up. Each obstacle the couple faced made them stronger, yet by the end I wanted the trials to be over, for me as the reader, it was a tad annoying to see a few life/faith lessons on pride play against main character Eli, it was also hard to suspend belief on the ending scenarios, as I thought the story ended a few chapters shy of where it did......(my patience ended with the fleas).....but ~ALAS~ dear readers.......this is fiction and our characters needed time to come to the logical conclusion of their feelings for one another. Jody has a great style of her own, bringing intense passion to her writing, always taking her readers on an emotional journey of nail biting suspense to see how far she will go. Despite my mixed feelings with the ending, I thought Eli and Priscilla's story was rich in historical detail, visual imagery and had a lot of heart.....

I loved this book! The Gamble of the Godless begins when a lone survivor of the Emperor’s army makes a midnight visit to our hero Avin’s farm. He tells the frightening tale of an unprecedented ambush by an army of wolves who have crossed the mountains. Sixteen hundred soldiers, brutally massacred. When the news reaches the human cities men are called to muster for a counter attack on the great wolf cities Alpha & Gamma. Avin’s older brother rushes ahead of the army looking for payback… but we soon learn that the wolves were not responsible. Someone is working hard start a war between this world’s two greatest military forces – wolves and men. Avin and his new friends find themselves on a quest to figure out who is behind the plot, locate Avin’s brother before he gets himself killed and stop a war that will leave all the human kingdoms & animal territories vulnerable. This is a fantasy novel, and we all know fantasy plots follow a formula. Harry Potter or George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice & Fire – strip them down and the difference between the two series is negligable. Bad guys intent on world domination; shadowy armies forming in the North/East/West/South; a courageous band of heroes rushing to save the day. Authors like Tolkien and Martin go for a more epic scope (usually accomplished by adding more characters) but the fundamentals of the storyline always remain the same. That’s how it should be. Because fantasy novels are character driven. David Maine has created a wonderful cast of characters and a elaborately detailed world. Avin the farm boy, Ax the soldier and Jocen the one armed sorcerer might not be all that unusual. But add a brave little owl, a cheetah in search of her next chuya grass fix, a horse and a raccoon working for Equine Intelligence – and things quickly get interesting. Their journey will take them from the great wolf cities of Alpha and Gamma, into the underground serpent city known as the Net, across Cheetah Run ruled by the Feline Sisterhood and eventually to the Barrens… where the mysterious Godless and their army waits. Each species of animal has its own dialect – wolves speak in metaphors, apes can only use the present tense, cats refer to themselves in the third person. Their cities are distinctive and a large portion of The Gamble of the Godless is spent on world-building. All these establishing scenes can become tedious in the hands of a less skilled writer, but Maine does such a good job I found myself glued to the page. I read this book, cover to cover, in two 3-hour sittings. If Book 2 were available, I’d have downloaded it immediately and kept on reading.

No Fear is marketed as a mystery on Amazon. While there are some elements that could be considered part of the mystery genre, I am willing to say this book does not have enough to be considered a real mystery. As a matter of fact I would shelve it under paranormal romance. I might have enjoyed it more had I not read it expecting an actual mystery story. Another Freebie offer on the Kindle when I picked it up a little under a month ago. It was randomly chosen off of my mystery shelf by a visiting friend. (Hello Kelsey!) I was half-way through the novel when I decided to look up the author and see what else she has authored as this was the first book I had read by her and I was pretty sure that I wasn't reading a mystery. And I was not disappointed by learning that Allie Harrison typical writes romances. Now, I realize I am harping a bit on the genre thing. But all that aside, this story had some solid pieces to it. I liked the main characters immediately, the setting was well written, and even I thought the author came up with an interesting twist to the vampire myth. Which let's face it, is pretty damned hard to do these days. She doesn't go into much, just the bare minimum to ensure that the reader understands that they are different. The plot itself held together but felt lacking, possibly because I was expecting a mystery and not a paranormal romance. And there were times when I could see the twist coming a mile away. Overall No Fear is a decent paranormal romance story and worth a read if you are looking for something light to read.
