The math is me is strong. It's in the name. Nevertheless ...
I discovered this past week that a review of Burke's Lore Briefs #2:"Portrait of a Lady Vampire & Other Vampiric Cravings" appeared on the Paranormal Romance Guild blog. Honestly, not a place I existed to find myself, but I'm excited to be there!The "times two" is because the review was picked up by Liminal Fiction.
Here's a highlight:
I was very surprised and pleased by the masterful way Christopher Burke is able to draw the reader into the story, create a depth of emotion, and then wrap it up with a nice bow in such a short amount of words. I greatly enjoyed the flow and style of his writing, and the characters that he has created. Four stars.
Please, read the review> It's not a spoiler, I hope, to say that the reviewer enjoyed "Vampiric Cravings" the best.
I love the feedback. I had another reader tell me why they enjoyed "Lord Matthias" the best. What gold I could mine from that is that everyone has didn't preferences for what makes a good story.
I'll also point out that there is a bonus story in the book, "Last Dawn", that appears in In A Flash 2020. The review didn't mention it. Likewise, another review of "A Heavenly Date / My Damned Best Friend" doesn't mentioned "My Own Personal Hell" from A Bucket Full of Moonlight. Both stories are complete. I may have to rethink my "bonus story" policy. I wonder if people skip them like previews for new books.
