Set against the real back drop of Baltimore city The Tether is a dark urban paranormal action adventure fantasy by Nick Davis. The novel follows Sarah through a helter-skelter one night journey into a reality that is disturbingly familiar, but has unnatural creatures stalking its shadows.
Nick Davis is an Englishman currently living on the East Coast of the USA not too far removed from Charm City (aka Baltimore). He is a former White Dwarf feature writer, now freelance content creator and fully employed Web Designer.
He is married to a very patient Irish American lady and has four children. When Nick is not working, running errands, playing with his kids or burrowing through an ever growing list of ongoing house 'projects'. He can be found plodding away on a keyboard exploring the worlds of his imagination that takes our reality and twists it around just a couple of degrees...
The Tether:None Good was a really good book! I read the Nook version so my version was a bit different than the paper version as far as the numbering went. I enjoyed reading about Sarah's adventure into this strange world.
What I liked best about this book was the location. I can just imagine what my next trip to downtown Baltimore is going to be like.
Davis writes a great story, though the text needs to be looked over for the next edition. There were a few errors throughout the book.
Like I said, I really enjoyed this book, and I am really anxious to read the next book! Thanks so much for the opportunity to join in on the adventure.
I loved the story and had a hard time putting this book down. The pacing was good, but I thought it jumped into the action a little too fast. I would've liked more from the boarding school and to get to know Sarah better before jumping into conflict. The world-building was interesting and kept me entertained, but I would've liked to see more of it incorporated into the story rather than find the glossary of terms added in at the end. I'm about to start reading the second book in the series and I can't wait to get started.
My friend, Katrina, was one of the co-writers for this book, and I am so proud of her! The story is engaging, the visuals are impressive, and you can tell a lot of love went into this story, which was a long time coming.
The story brings a breathe of fresh air to the written world, as the concept is something that I've not seen in recent years. On the surface, it is a story of a girl who must face great adversary, and triumph over evil, but deep down you come across the many aspects of the character which sets her apart from any other heroine. Summoning, spells, holy magic, this story is a dream!
I have the kindle edition and noticed a few spelling and grammatical errors, but was still nevertheless impressed with the obvious skill that went into making this novel what it is: An amazing story.
The editor for this book needs to go back to English class, what a travesty. I liked the story line, but couldn't get past the editing job. I've read books by Nick before and loved them, not from Katrina, so I can only assume it was her influence that made me dislike this. Don't reccomend reading (or hiring) her.
