| While this novel was engaging, the ending was not. The protagonist's return to Boston at the end was anticlimactic. The Epilogue seemed an afterthought. ...more | |

| I enjoyed this urban fantasy but the premise seemed a bit unbelievable. It was fast paced. I loved that the protagonist was midlife and facing new challenges. However the ending seemed rushed. | |

| Slow paced beginning, but interesting plot kept me reading. Believable characters and what is happening drove the story forward. Was not as horrific as I thought it would be. | |

Dr. Increase: Mathews Family Saga Book 2:
"Loved reading this follow-up to the first Matthews Family Saga book. I share this family with the author so it was so much fun to fill in gaps in my knowledge. I made myself stop reading at 3:00 a.m. yesterday morning only because I needed to get up "

Interesting I found this urban fantasy too slow paced and the descriptions repetitious. The action didn't pick up until Chapter 17. I thought this novel needed more editing. The ending made my continued reading worthwhile. ...more |
