Relentless - A Novel by Dean Koontz

Relentless - A Novel by Dean Koontz
Review by Erika Ayala


Relentless - A Novel by Dean Koontz will be the newest novel by this world-famous author. Come June 2009, his fans will line up the stores-patiently waiting for another of his suspense thrillers. With what I've heard, this new one promises to be his best yet.

In Relentless, Koontz introduces us to Cullen Greenwich (known as "Cubby" to his closest friends) and his perfect life and family. He has a loving wife, Penny, who is an author and illustrator of children's books. They have an intelligent six-year old son, Milo ("Spooky" to his parents), and a dog named Lassie who is almost part of the family. Cubby is a best-selling novelist and there is nothing else in this world that could make him any happier.

But his perfect little life becomes a little less like it when Sherman Waxx gives his successful new book a bad review. It's not supposed to affect him that much since it's just one bad review, but Waxx is known to make or break your career and your life. Cubby tries shrugging it off but when he accidentally sees where the recluse Waxx eats his lunch. Curiosity kills the cat and in this case, it could cost Cubby more than what he had originally bargained for.

Sociopaths like Waxx is a usual in Koontz novels but he seems to offer more this time. Koontz' flair for destroying our glass-cased lives is what he specializes in and he doesn't seem to fail us here. I wonder if Cubby's profession has something to do with Koontz being a writer. He is, after all, known for injecting a part of him in his books and I don't think this will be any different. June seems so far away for a novel that promises to get all of us hooked. Relentless - A Novel by Dean Koontz could just be the most anticipated suspense-thrillers of the year!

Animated Reality - Musings for Music by Renny Dolan

Animated Reality - Musings for Music
Renny Dolan


"Poetry with a heart that anyone can relate to."

Renny Dolan believes that many will be able to relate to the poetry that's written in Animated Reality because each poem tells a story of past emotions, life and the innocence of childhood. I can see and feel the passion that lie behind the words of these poems. But, for me, the memories end there.

However, that doesn't mean I cannot appreciate what is written here. It will undoubtedly hold a special meaning for many readers. It's easy, too, to be wary of poetry; to avoid even attempting to make sense of it. But, Animated Reality is one such anthology that shouldn't be avoided. It should be embraced. It's inspiring, thought-provoking and a delight to read.

Let this be the one poetry collection you read this year.

Talking Heads by Reid Laurence

Talking Heads
Reid Laurence


Raymond Mort is lonely and because of this, several people must pay with the ultimate price: their life. But, Raymond doesn't seem to be your average serial killer. He kills, yes but he doesn't do it for sexual gratification or power. He does it for company. Solve this social problem and he'd be right as rain.

Talking Heads follows three major episodes in Raymond's life and is not a story about your average crime. It's funny, witty and strangely sad. It's one of the few times when
you're reading about a serious crime against humanity that you find yourself actually rooting for the bad guy.

Talking Heads is a gripping novel in so many ways and it will leave you wanting more from Reid Laurence. He is, for sure, my favourite author in this genre.

Love from A to Z by P.G. Forte


P.G. Forte has been a favourite of mine since I started to read her fiction many years back in my career as a reviewer. So, I'm usually under no illusion that when I receive her latest work I'm going to get an incredible sexy and steamy ride with a twist. P.G Forte's latest novel will have you hooked on her style and wanting more.

Love from A to Z places you right into the action of lust, intrigue, passion and loathing. The protagonist, April, is a woman that knows her own mind as she clearly shows her contempt for her cousin on a night out on the town. But, something goes wrong, something that will change her life forever.

Love from A to Z will, at times, leave you breathless with desire. You'll find yourself rooting for April, hoping that nothing will spoil her new found love, but wincing at the inevitable breakdown of her relationship with him as the truth of April's life slowly starts to emerge.

A terrific, sexy read from start to finish.

Squidoo Lens plus Reviews

All-Seeing Social Squid #1Image by rekha6 via Flickr

I wanted to post a little bit about what you would receive if you requested a Squidoo Lens plus Review.

A Squidoo Lens is a one page website that is packed full of information about a topic of the author's (or lensmaster's) choice. So, if you purchased a Squidoo Lens plus review package from 4 Star Rating, you will receive:

A Squidoo Lens already published on the subject of your book with the review included. In this Lens I will add all sorts of promotional information e.g. your blog feed, links to your book sale pages, links to your work, author details etc.

There is so much more you can do with a Squidoo Lens that it's impossible for me to list them all here. However, Google loves Squidoo and it's an excellent way to get the word out about your book and everything about you as an author.

When you purchase a Squidoo Lens plus review from me I would work on creating and publishing a squidoo lens just for you and your book and then would transfer the completed lens over to you. All you would need to do is sign up to Squidoo (It's free!), let me know your lensmaster profile username and then I would transfer your completed lens over to you. You will then be able to add to it and edit it to your heart's content.

Squidoo Lenses are so easy to promote. Once the URL is indexed by Google, the traffic to your lens will increase and so will the sales to your book ;)

Or, if you would like more information, please do leave your question in the comment section of this post :)
