Review: Shadows in the Sand by Michael Diack

Shadows in the Sand by Michael Diack
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Michael Diack has written a brilliantly original dark fantasy centering around a group of humans who somehow survived a catastrophic world event and their struggles to survive against terrifying forces while their sole water supply dwindles away. The high point of the novel is the breathtaking detail Diack puts into every part of the story. Characters, action, and scenery are all beautifully described that they almost seem to be painted for the mind's eye by a master artist. Shadows in the sand is a thrilling, richly detailed novel that will leave you longing for the next book in the series.

Review: Aegis Rising by S.S. Segran

AEGIS RISING - Action-Adventure/Sci-Fi - Book One of The Aegis League Series by S.S. Segran
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A group of five teenage friends are tossed into a lost civilization when the plane they are traveling in is struck by lightning and crashes. The book is filled with many influences from Lost to Percy Jackson to the survivalist action of the Hunger games, yet manages to stand on its own as a daring and original work that should appeal to the targeted young adult demographic and beyond to older readers. I had a lot of fun reading this book and eagerly look forward to the next book in the series.
