I have added a review for an eighteenth book to the Recommended Reads page of my site.  This review is for a sequel to a novel I rated as one of the best novels I have ever read.  The following is a copy of the current review, but check out the other reviews on my site.

A FLAME PUT OUT by Erin Riley, Historical Romance, Soul Mate Publishing, 225 pages, ISBN: 978-1-61935-903-1

QUALITY OF THIS SEQUEL HAS NOT DEMINISHED:

When I read the first book of the SON OF ODIN trilogy, I stated in the review it was one of the best novels I have ever read.  Upon starting a read of A FLAME PUT OUT, I was curious to discover could the second book in the series be a good as the first, ODIN’S SHADOW.  I must report it is.

Erin Riley has the ability to write in a fashion that captivates a reader and makes the reader feel the passion, tribulations and joy of characters as they are immersed in plots and conditions keeping the reader crying for more.  I definitely recommend this read… it is a continuation of one of the best novels I have ever read.  I look forward to reading the third novel of this trilogy.

One of the best novels I have ever read: (The following review will be placed by me on Amazon.com tomorrow once the book is released)

I had the pleasure of reading ODIN’S SHADOW about a year ago when this novel was available as a self-published work. A publisher picked up this riveting work by Erin S. Riley, and the self-published edition was no longer available. The author has provided me the opportunity to read the manuscript alterations the new publisher recommended, and I am thrilled to state, this novel is sensational. It is a nearly perfectly written novel crossing genres including Historical, Literary Fiction, Thriller and Romance. I must warn that the read is for adults only.

As an author myself, I have read a substantial number of novels of many genres for over the last half century, and ODIN’S SHADOW definitely resonates as one of the best. Examples of other works meeting my “best” list include ATLAS SHRUGGED by Ayn Rand, TIME AND AGAIN by Jack Finney and THE CITADEL by A. J. Cronin.

Erin Riley focuses on the late ninth century and the savage and brutal invasions of Ireland by Viking raiders, and it follows these raiders back to their homeland in Norway. The raids result in enslavement of many Irish inhabitants, and for one young Irish girl a forced marriage to a War Lord. The civilizations of both Ireland and Norway of this time in the past are well researched and depicted…. As a reader my senses could feel the environment the characters experience while coping with emotional and physical conflict. The plot is well developed, but it leaves a bit of a cliff-hanger at the end…. Riley has left just enough to entice the reader to read her next book in a series, A FLAME PUT OUT.

This is one of the novels I have included on the Recommended Reads Page of my Site.

ODIN’S SHADOW, one of the best novels I ever read. #GreatRead

Last May I had the pleasure to read a fantastic novel by then indie author Erin S. Riley titled ODIN’S SHADOW. I wrote and placed a review on both my site and on Amazon (a strong five star review).  Last summer, the author was picked up by a publisher, Soul Mate Publishing, and this novel was no longer available to purchase through Amazon.  I just found out that ODIN’S SHADOW is now scheduled for release by the publisher on April 2.  It is well worth the read, and I am copying my review below, and I will repost it on Amazon upon publication.

Sensational… a nearly perfectly written novel crossing genres… encompasses Historic Literary Fiction and Thriller in addition to Romance

This novel is for adult readers.

On the “Recommended Reads” page of my site I have added another review (the thirteenth) of a work by another author.  WHEN THE PERFECT COMES, a historical romance thriller by author Susan Ward is a read meeting my criteria as and excellent or exceptional work.  Only about twenty to thirty percent of books I read achieve the quality to be included on my Recommended Reads list.  I also post my reviews on Amazon.Com in addition to my Site.
