Short and Sweet Book Reviews # 354 - Watcher in the Woods by Kelley Armstrong, Detonation Event by John Andrew Carr

Watcher in the Woods by Kelley Armstrong
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rockton is still having trouble. Someone is not who they seem. Why does that cause trouble? Because it brings in someone trying to make an arrest and capture. That just cannot be allowed but the way it is stopped is not the best way to stop it. In fact that just brings more trouble. Casey Duncan and her boyfriend, Sheriff Eric Dalton are both such great characters and it is great fun following them as they try to unwind everything that is happening. There are some very interesting new characters that play a part in this story. I think the best is Casey's sister. It will be interesting to see how her story plays out in future books. This is part of a series but can be read as a standalone.

I received a free copy of the book in return for an honest review.


Detonation Event by John Andrew Karr
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As the title suggests this starts out with a bang and one that arrives ahead of time. At its heart is the battle between those who want all efforts made on Earth and those who see space as part of the salvation of humans. I found a lot of this new and interesting. There are the changes to humans that most of us would not think are good changes. While the detonation event is part of the story there is also another event that has to be faced. As the story progresses the two events are woven together until they join near the end. This keeps all the main characters alive and kicking but leaves the big problems still to be solved. Stay tuned. The next book should be as wild a ride as Detonation Event.
