Insatiable Darkness (Vigilant) by L.M. Preston

Insatiable Darkness is a short novel and can be read easily in a single sitting. The story is about Emvee a teenage girl who was forced to move to a new town because of her parents work. She soon learns -by eavesdropping on a conversation between her parents, that the reason for their move was not as clear-cut as she had first believed. This knowledge has led to a "need" in Emvee to know what is truly going on. It didn't take her long to realize that she may have bitten off more than she could chew.

*** Insatiable Darkness is the prequel to a new series that has yet to be published. ***

Forewarning, my review will be heavily based on storyline and plot, I will not ever mention grammar or spelling issues unless it is so bad that it distracts me from the overall tale.


What I liked about the story:
This is an interesting start to a promising series. I can't wait to learn more about Emvee and her coming trials. I have personally read many stories that take mythology and bend it to be used in many different ways, but I can honestly say that Insatiable Darkness bends mythology in a way I have not yet read. She had perfectly blended the idea of science and magic together so well that the idea was believable (if magic ever existed I could totally believe this could happen!) Emvee is a strong kiss-ass heroine that does not fall apart in the face of danger, she kicks it in the gonads!


Things that I believe could have made the story better:
The beginning of the story did not seamlessly bring me into it, it took the first chapter and some of the second before I could comfortably say I was all in. Once I was able to connect with the story I was sufficiently 'pulled in'. Though I do wish Ms. Preston could have expounded more on what a Soul Trainer is and what its purpose was.


The book did its job as a prequel and has left me wanting to know more about Emvee, her friends, and the dangers she will no doubt come to face.


I rate this light reading... You can finish this part within a few hours.
Rating: 4/5 Stars

The Invaders by Jay Ford from the Visitors Saga Book Review

 It is currently for free on Amazon. Be sure to go and get it before it’s no longer free!

The Invaders are not the usual type of Alien stories I read. There is not much romance the Aliens are the bad guys. Despite this type of book not being my usual cup of tea, I still find myself enjoying it.  Granted it had taken a couple chapters before Mr. Ford’s world had captured me, but now I can honestly say that I am happy I decided to give this story a chance.

 I guess I like Armageddon style books too! You learn something new every day.

Its Free so why not give it a try!   The Invaders by Jay Ford

I rate this book as: Attraction – A promising Story, but nothing life changing. You would read the sequel as more of a backup story when you run out.

I end this entry post with I would recommend this book to others.

Please leave a comment with your opinion if you have read this book as well, I would love to know how much you either loved or hated it!
