A really fun read!

Revisado: 04-23-25

I was asked to read this book by the author for a review. I enjoyed it! It’s an original and fun story, spanning multiple worlds and full of dynamic characters. It’s a story that reveals itself over time, making the world bigger and bigger as you go along.

A stranger dressed in a medieval outfit shows up at Tarin’s neighborhood bar asking for him. The stranger, Gil, reveals he’s already been to Tarin’s house and met with his friends. As the night goes on, Gil tells Tarin he’s from his home planet and traveled to Earth through the same portal Tarin came through years ago. It’s now up to Tarin to save Earth and his home planet, Arvalast, from the impending world war and malevolent forces who’ve come to Earth to gain power.

Like I said above, the book reveals itself as you get farther into it. A lot of it is confusing, but it’s that way on purpose. The characters are also confused, but by the end, everything is clear. I really enjoyed the journey Tarin, his friends, and the emissaries from Arvalast go on. Every time they think they’ve figured something out, more is revealed. Writing the book this way kept me guessing and interested. It’s a fun, quick science fiction/fantasy read.

Loved the group of people

Revisado: 04-10-25

This was an interesting book. It’s my first Ronald Malfi, and it reminded me of how Bentley Little finds horror in the mundane. I enjoyed it even though I wish there were a few more terrifying horror elements. There’s also a bit of cosmic horror thrown in at the end and I’d have loved more of that.

For almost two decades since Jamie Warren left home, he’s run from his past. As children, he and his two best friends, Mia and Clay, and brother met a magician in the woods near Jamie’s home. At first, the magician was a fascinating addition to Jamie’s boring, mundane life. The man taught them magic tricks and became a friend. But as time went on, Jamie realized there wasn’t something right about the man.

Now Jamie has returned home to take care of his brother after his mom’s death. Events are beginning to repeat themselves, which draws Mia, Clay, Jamie, and Dennis back together. Can they figure out what’s going on before more evil events take place?

I enjoyed the relationships between the four main characters. Dennis has an intellectual disability and the group treats him just like one of the gang, and includes him in everything. Dennis’s intuition is a key part of the plot. I felt like the four of them are all real people with dynamic backstories and lives.
