Hemmie Martin has a way of making the complex relationships her characters have come to life. She is also really talented at leaving the reader completely dumbfounded when the killer is revealed. 

I first read Rightful Owner, the second book in the DI Wednesday series, back in 2014 for a AuthorAmp review. Then I fell in love with Hemmie's writing and Kris from AuthorAmp kindly sent me the first book in the series, In the Light of Madness. Once again I was stuck on the edge of my seat, whenever I had time to pick up this novel. I loved Martin's characters and the plot. Her characters were well developed and I really liked DI Wednesday's character. I also like the bits of personal information she gives about her characters like Wednesday and Lennox. This helps to make the characters more real in a way. Lastly I loved how the book ended and it left me very satisfied. 

 Thanks for reading,

Night of All Evil by J.M. Shorney

My Rating: 3/5 stars Average Rating: 4/5 stars Format: ebook ISBN13: 9781310806902 I received a free copy in exchange for a honest review from AuthorAmp.com Night of All Evil was a good gothic horror novel about a witch named Freya that has a dark past that comes back to haunt her and her family. Freya was my favorite character and I really enjoyed reading from her point of view. The thing I liked about her was how she acted in the situations she is placed in. She also is just an interesting person that also happens to be a super powerful witch, which is pretty cool. In fact once I started this novel, I had a hard time putting it down. While I really enjoyed reading the story, the character development was just okay and it was kind of predictable. However, it was still a good read that grabbed my attention and kept me entertained.                        ...
