Wednesday's Featured Author is Emma Lear Author of The Man

Blurb:  When magic and mystery become a part of adult memory, and children only know the hushed whispers in dark corners, people expect trouble at every turn.

For Gin, her safety relies on those dark corners and the danger of the grimy British streets. Magic and fantasy are a long buried dream; until she meets the candle-maker. Thrust into his secretive world with just a sullen, shadowy guide for company, Gin clings to the edges until the heavily guarded line between life and fantasy blurs.

As she chases her inevitable future to escape the echo of what lies behind, the world and all she knew of it becomes one final step into the unknown.

About the Author:

I'm an almost-graduate of the English Language and Communications and Literature, half-Finnish, half Londoner – I've loved stories and writing them since the age of nine. I currently live on the glorious south coast of Britain near to Brighton with the rain, the pebbles and the seagull invasion. I like all the usual person description hobbies that people put in these things, including but not limited to pole dancing, skittles (the candy not the game) and yelling at the television when the touring cars come on.

Review of A Sight to Dream of (Oberon Book 2)

www.reviewoffantasy.com

(4th Review for June)

Rating 5 Stars

While reading Scent of the Roses (Book 1 of the Oberon Series), there was one particular person who intrigued me, one that I would have loved to read about. So when I picked up A Sight to Dream Of and realized it was about Marsha, the woman who had intrigued me, I was delighted, and I most certainly wasn't disappointed with the plot and madness of the story.

This one was filled with a lot of magic, but where Marsha is concerned, so is magic, murder and mystery. I just loved her and really liked her love story with Sam – what a perfect fit for her. As for her ex-husband, I wanted to strangle him, but his actions allowed us to see Marsha as an insecure person, something I didn't think possible. She always came across as a busy body, hard, strong woman you didn't cross. But seeing her as insecure, shy and a bit afraid was a breath of fresh air.

The story also wraps around scouts and Nick’s wedding. Drama, drama, drama… but Lucy is the wedding planner. With the build-up to the wedding and Nick's family sharpening their pitch forks, another murder takes place. Nick spends all his time trying to find out who killed the reporter Paige, and a new can of worms are open. Once again, I found myself pointing fingers at everyone… always getting it wrong.

Once again, P.G Forte has taken readers on a rollercoaster ride, one I didn’t want to end.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves a good murder mystery with plenty of drama and the right amount of magic.
