Who Is Mistral Dawn?

Mistral Dawn is a thirty-something gal who has lived on both coasts of the US but somehow never in the middle. She currently resides in the Southeast US with her kitty cats (please spay or neuter! :-)) where she works as a hospital drudge and attends graduate school. Taken By The Huntsman is her first effort at writing fiction and if it is well received she has ideas for several more novels and short-stories in this series.

#February2018 #IndieBooksBeSeen #Indie #Author #Books #Monthly #BookReview!



Hey Everyone!! :-)

It's the 18th again, so time for my #IndieBooksBeSeen monthly indie author book review!! Enjoy! :-)

Lullaby of the Dead by Lynn Lamb:

A shark swimming in a sea of sharks, Landry Sinclair's career seems to be right on track. With a ruthlessness that inspires hatred and fear in those around her, she's just what the management of the cut-throat company she works for wants. That is, until a serial killer gets her in his sites and she's brutally tortured and murdered. When she wakes up in a bizarre afterlife, that's when Landry's story really gets interesting. Will she be strong enough to win in death?

I loved this story. The theme that getting to know and accept oneself is a source of immeasurable strength and peace is a message I think we all need to hear a little more often. Following Landry through her journey from a heartless corporate drone to a wise and compassionate friend was definitely enjoyable. The writing was excellent, the story didn't bog down or drift, and the supporting characters were interesting to get to know. The horror element, which was strong, was definitely spine-chilling but necessary to the story. And the romantic parts were a fun and welcome relief. Overall, I definitely recommend this book. Five stars!
