Summary from Goodreads: 

Gunhild is a private in the Royal Army. She’s headstrong and reckless, but she’s also the best troll hunter in the country, and when a troll gets away with a national treasure, she’s the only person with any chance of getting it back. Kirabo was on his way home to Aberash after a fulfilled research mission, but he managed to enter the wrong coordinates into his spaceship. Now he and his PA robot are stranded on a far-off planet, and they don’t have enough fuel to get back home. As genres collide on Troll Island, Earth, the troll hunter and the space explorer have to overcome their differences and work together if they want to survive this fairytale.

MY RATING:

Five golden stars isolated on white background

I was completely captivated by this story on many levels!  First, the setting, feel, tone and characters gave me a lasting impression of great fantasy. Gunhild is a bold and reckless troll hunter sent on an impossible mission. Kirabo an unsuspecting traveler; is brought along for the journey and fight for his life, learns a thing or two in the process. These two suddenly meet, and under extreme circumstances, are forced into an improbable interdependency which makes the story much more compelling.

There’s also a good element of suspense, anticipation, and theme that made this read worthwhile. This author has great skill in crafting a story. Highly recommended!

Book Review: Curious Minds A Knight and Moon Novel

 Enjoy the beginning of a new series with Janet Evanovich and Phoef Sutton, A Knight and Moon Novel! 
IT’S DELIGHTFULLY ENTERTAINING!
A definite 5/5 Stars.


 

 Janet & Phoef, give yourselves a high five! This was a great beginning to kick off the Knight and Moon series. I can’t wait to see what you come up with next. 
This was a humorous page turner. I enjoyed the playful tone displayed throughout the book. I found this to be a refreshing twist in today’s crowded crime writing genre. 

Dialogue, dialogue, dialogue! I’ve never seen a book that skillyfully utilizes dialogue like this one. Except for Janet’s and Lee Goldberg’s book, the Pursuit maybe, but this one is even better. Most authors are heavy on the narrative, or attempt to balance narration with dialogue. Not so in Curious Minds. This book is designed to exploit the dynamic relationship between Emerson Knight and Riley Moon by using excellent dialogue. This is a highlight of the book. The heavy use of dialogue means more exploration of CHARACTERS, which was effective and downright hilarious!

To use that much dialogue means the character development is off the charts brilliant. Not just the protagonists, but also the supporting cast and the host of antagonists. 
The depth of the plot is also noteworthy. Adventurous, entertaining, humorous, and full of suspense. 

You can pre-order the book now and is available Tuesday August 16th on Amazon.com.
