Gene Switch - B.P Stevens

Crack the code.  Change the world.

Danny was on top of the world.

After dedicating her entire life to unlocking the secrets of epigenetics, she finally cracked the code. Cancer patients around the world are about to be cured of their ailments, and amputees can finally regain their limbs.

It's the scientific discovery of the century, or even the millennia.

The Cancer Research Hospital of San Francisco even offers to be the first site of human trials with the new wonder chemical.

Then two masked men break in and steal the chemicals.

With Danny's discovery at risk of being transformed into supercancer, an unstoppable biological weapon, she goes after the thieves.

But things are not as they seem. Who stole Danny's miracle? And why would they betray her?  

Will she be able to stop them in time to spare the world from this new bioweapon, or will she die trying?

☆☆, read October 2023, scifi

The story quote ambitious and i am excited to read it. Too bad the execution fell short.

The conversations not flowing nicely. 

Way too many telling and not enough doing. There are no description when Danny doing her research in lab, just a glimmer in the beginning. It just like a narrator tell me a story of something happening instead me seeing something directly. 

Which is what i expect from reading a story, a fleshed out or at least an attempt to embody the story in my imagination.

Disappointed.

 

The Prophecy - Daan Katz

Prophecies don’t lie.

Life has not been kind on King Haniman of Dalanthia, but when Emperor Fedromir of Morynthia offers his daughter’s hand in marriage to Haniman’s son, he feels like his luck has finally taken a favourable turn.

However, when he learns about the ancient prophecy that foretells the downfall of his kingdom and doom upon his descendants if the two Glorious Houses unite, he is faced with an impossible choice: come back on his word to Fedromir and risk a war with Morynthia, or proceed with the marriage and curse his own flesh and blood.

Ebook, appr 17 pages, historical kingdom, 

☆☆☆ , read on September 2023

Too short, not enough to labelled as prequel or novella. The story itself is okay but even as a background story, it need a basic conclusion at the end not abrupt ending like in this story. 

Relics of Salem prequel - S.H. Steele

Rowena Wickerson is a devoted historian looking for a job that will help her with her graduate studies thesis project. She is on the hunt for anything that will help her research the Civil War Era.

Packing her belongings, she heads east with Massachusetts as her destination in the hopes of finding a job she’ll love while developing her thesis project. A few miles outside of Boston, a storm stalls Rowena in her tracks. Pulling over to the side of the road, she tries to wait out the rain and lightning.

After Rowena’s car is struck by lightning, she is put on a path she never expected. What job will she be able to find? Read Rowena’s journey through the supernatural world of Salem, Massachusetts.

Ebook, 80 pages, fantasy/paranormal

☆☆☆ ½ 

I enjoy the mystery and the cliffhanger ending did pique may curioustity for more.

Permanent Record - Ess Harelson 

Siobhan O'Hurlihy is just trying to get through her day. 

The problem is, she's dean of students at a middle school, and she has a mystery to solve. 

Is it just an April Fool's prank, or is there something more? And what is the deal with this raven? Does he seem like he wants to be friends? He sure has a nasty vocabulary. 

Siobhan has always been a little magical; she can see auras and detect lies. The downside is that she has terrible luck with electronics. Her Auntie Louise thinks it has to do with her chi. 

A priceless...phone...is missing, and Siobhan uses all her skills to solve the mystery.

Ebook , 70 pages, paranormal sleuth

I like it. It's funny and i like Siobhan

Philosopher’s Crone (An Undertown Short Mystery) - Tabatha Gray

A prequel from Undertown Paranormal Myteries series

Cora Barrow and her sister Sally never see eye to eye. To Cora, their psychic powers are a gift. To Sally, they’re a curse. But when two magical gemstones disappear from a locked room, the sisters put their differences aside. The gems are the key to untold arcane power. If that power fell into the wrong hands... 

If you like Stranger Things, The X-Files, and classic Agatha Christie puzzlers, this paranormal cozy short is worth a look.

Ebook, 31 pages, paranormal sleuth, 

☆☆

I'm kind of disappointed with this, the story way lighter and misleading than the cover promised (which what attract me to download it in the first place). The mystery is not paranormal although the characters have that ability.

Too Young To Die - R.W. Brooks

Those words were written on Jamie Torres' bathroom mirror.  Her coworkers thought that she had written them.

It is Jamie Torres' mission to find out who did it.

Also, why are these young girls going missing?

Ebook, 135 pages, thriller

☆☆☆

Jamie Torres, a police officer forced to take a leave after an assault that believed by her boss and colleague to be a suicide attempt. She moved to her case's victim town to investigate the case.

The writing quite nice. There are parts that are not satisfying like Jamie's amateur mistake of revealing  her informant's identity easily or her almost careless attempt in investigating. This also have a cliffhanger ending, which i don't like lol.

Overall okay.

Francis Marchs Visions - Rick Adelmann

When David March shows up, unexpected, former Pinkerton detective Sherwood Garth can't possibly know what mystery he's about to step into. 

He's been asked to visit David's home, undercover as a former professor, while secretly investigating why the perfectly healthy, but elderly patriarch, and powerful Hollywood studio chief, Francis March, has suddenly begun to experience hallucinations and visions of his dead wife. 

David is very concerned. Garth is intrigued and agrees to investigate.  What he learns while getting to know this family will make anyone shiver, but never fear ... this intriguing short story is a great introduction to Rick Adelmann's jazz-age mystery series.

Ebook, 35 pages, sleuth

☆☆

So-so. The writing is not flowing, and i don't really excited with the mystery.

 Prey For Them - Y.G. Knight

Blurb

My brother was brutally murdered…

His neck slashed & body repeatedly stabbed. That’s how they found him. Out of sight in the woods outside of our small town.

Now he lays there, so quiet and peaceful. Blue eyes closed shut. His body confined in the wooden casket. Completely surrounded by strangers dressed in black. Luckily, I see dad standing in the corner. No tears, just a blank stare.

I’ve always hated this church. Father Red’s creepy chanting echoing through the hall. The eerie locals follow his lead like sheep. No bible in sight, but the sermon continues. I feel the hairs on my skin rising with the high pitch sound of the choir. 

A male voice whispers in my ear, “Be brave & be ready…”

Ebook , 106 pages, thriller cult

☆☆☆, read on November 2022

The story was okay, at least for the beginning and the middle. I'm not fond with the ending though.

Feral (Many Lives #1) - Laxmi Hariharan

He was her destination. She just didn't know it.

When Maya leaves Luke to go in search of her blood family, nothing prepares her for the secrets she uncovers about herself.

Ebook, 106 pages, paranormal short stories

☆☆½, read on March 2021

I tempted to stop reading at first few pages because shapeshifter romance not my favourite genre, thankfully it just small part of the story. The writing was okay except for the psychological/scientific explanation on certain events in Maya's mind which is weird. I think it's better on footnote maybe?

I also disappointed with Maya decision to just forget her blood family. Clearly her situation is not her family's fault but instead she choose to be with the wrong one here, the one who forcefully makes her life change from who she should be.

The irony that she hail her pack in giving her freedom in living and condemn human life in lack of choice, and yet her condition as part of werewolf was forced into her since Ma abduct her from her real family which actually give her no choice at all. Sigh.
