Official Review of The Devil Pulls The Strings, a novel by J.W Zarek

Everything is not as it seems in this sci fi supernatural thriller. Written by J.W Zarek, The Devil Pulls The Strings is a tale about an old curse that might come back to haunt the one who caused it along with the world if damage control is not taken at the earliest.

At the centre of it, is our hero and protagonist Boone Daniels. None the wiser he steps in for his best friend to play with his band The Village Idiots at the Ren Faire in New York. Things seem simple enough until Professor Stone, the person he was asked by his best friend Flynn to meet is thrown to his death beside him and his assistant Sapphire.

From here on out the two, embark on a musical journey to find Paganini’s music. Music that will help them summon the Devil and stop Sinti. A lot is riding on The Devil’s summoning which will grant them a wish to set everything right as Boone is caught in a difficult situation. The book gives off a Harry Potter and Chronicles of Narnia vibe with elements of Steam Punk. Time travel and Magic are at the heart of this story with mythical creatures in a modern day world living under secret societies and organisations.

The author takes mythical stories, places, and legends and blends them together to give us a master- piece. Found no negative aspects in this genre- bending thriller. The book has everything a supernatural junky would want. Recommend the book to an audience of 16 and above because of scenes of a violent nature and readers with a taste for books that appeal to an inner introspective. The introspective here being how Boone Daniels is forced to come face to face with his fears in order to save the world. I give this book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars.

Official Review of The Last Text You Sent by Elise Fender

The Last Text You Sent by Elise Fender is a heart breaker of a story. Not what most would expect by reading the title. Whit Walker is the ‘’star’’ of the show while his sister Avery Walker ‘’co-stars’’ in it. Their stories are intertwined as only sibling stories can be. Written in diary entry fashion the book opens up with Avery Walker going about her life like a normal teenager awaiting her first kiss at one of her brother’s games. Tragedy strikes and Whit sustains a head injury that interrupts the romantic moment and later takes his life. His family struggle to get over his death showing that their lives practically revolved around Whit. Without him, they had lost direction and will to go on. One day, one of the paramedics returns her brother’s phone and she discovers that her brother had a romantic relationship with someone he only saved in his phone as OCMC. The messages OCMC sends to Whit’s phone makes her realise that not on...
