Visitor Bob: A Horrible Short by Ellen C. Maze

Visitor Bob: A Horrible Short by Ellen C. Maze
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I found that this was a fun, yet horrible (as described in the title) short. A great little story to keep you entertained when you are stuck in a queue or waiting in the car for the kids to come out of school or Martial Arts. Everything I have read that Ellen has written always leaves me smiling. I hope Visitor Bob never pops into my room. :-/

Loose Rabbits of the Rabbit Trilogy by Ellen C. Maze

Loose Rabbits of the Rabbit Trilogy by Ellen C. Maze

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is a little gem for all "Rabbit Chasers".



Loose Rabbits of the Rabbit Trilogy, is a book of 20 short stories that wrap up little loose ends and questions you might be left with after reading Rabbit: Chasing Beth Rider and Rabbit Legacy like, what happened to Michael and Beth after the Last Assembly? There are stories about some of my other favourite Rakum too, like Javier, David Walker, Jesse Cherrie and Canaan.

Although these are shorts they are written just as wonderfully as anything Ellen C. Maze writes.

Whenever I finish one of Ellen's books I always feel like I've been on a wild ride.

Damascus Road by Ellen C. Maze

Damascus Road by Ellen C. Maze

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
 
"How far would you go to protect the innocent?
Giving up your life to save a stranger is one thing, but subject yourself to constant torture in an effort to save some people you've never met? This is the kind of man you'll find in Tony Agricola; survivor of Book One: The Judging.

Tony will sacrifice his very blood so the town can sleep safe at night. Would you?"

Wow, Ellen has done it yet again. What a fantastic trip she just sent me on.
I seem to fall in love with every new character Ellen brings in to her books.

In this instalment Tony is on a mission to save Paul from his evil vampire ways. Tony is determined to keep him on a tight rein but Paul finds himself another preacher Big John Jenkins. Will two preachers be enough to placate him? 

I have loved every one of Ellen's books and short stories that I have picked up. I recommend her books to everyone.

Emma's Dragon: A fairly Horrible Love Story by Ellen C. Maze

Emma's Dragon: A Fairly Horrible Love Story by Ellen C. Maze

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
 
"Famous children's book illustrator, Emma Topp, saw a dragon while camping alone at Tom Bailey Lake. Should she tell anyone? Braving to share her sighting with handsome and dashing Deputy Trevor Lucas, Emma might have bitten off more than she can chew."

I've had my eye on this short story since it was added to Amazon. The cover is eye catching and the title made me curious. I finally got round to buying it today and finished it in no time.

I think the fairly in the title was an understatement. 

Ellen you've done it again, I loved the story, it captured me so much that when I had finished, I found my forgotten cup of tea cold.

A fabulous read I would recommend to anyone with a spare 30 minutes.

Rabbit Legacy By Ellen C. Maze

Rabbit Legacy (Rabbit #2) by Ellen C. Maze

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Here is another fantastic book SO worthy of 5 stars from Ellen C. Maze.



This is the sequel to the amazing "Rabbit: Chasing Beth Rider".

Synopsis ~ Seven years have passed since novelist Beth Rider escaped the clutches of Jack Dawn and his ilk. She and Michael Stone find that the war rages on as a Rakum remnant begins to rebuild under the thumb of a tyrannical and unbalanced Elder. Determined to destroy everything Beth stands for, Elder Rufus initiates a deadly plan to draw her and her allies into his trap. With the aid of a disaffected Elder named Canaan and a mysterious, legendary Rakum youth known as "The Last", the "Rabbit Army" will confront the demonic forces behind those who threaten their freedom and their very lives. In the battle between good and evil, the gray area expands as Beth longs to bring an end to the Rabbit Legacy.

Ellen has a wonderful gift, her characters and their world capture you and don't let you go until you have finished that last page.

I'm looking forward to reading the final installment of "The Rabbit Trilogy"

Rabbit: Chasing Beth Rider By Ellen C. Maze

Rabbit: Chasing Beth Rider (Rabbit #1) by Ellen C. Maze

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I loved this book.

Ellen C. Maze is a wonderful writer that just picks you up and places you right there in every scene you read, Intently taking in every little thing.

"Author Beth Rider's second vampire novel has hit number one and she is flying high on her new-found fame. But at a fated book signing that runs late into the night, Beth is confronted by an evil she'd only experienced in nightmares. Jack Dawn, a supernatural monster belonging to an ancient race of bloodthirsty immortals known as the Rakum, vows to track down and kill the young writer because of the vile redemptive message her book is bringing his people. 

Facing the most terrifying trial of her life against creatures known only in fables, one simple woman will unintentionally threaten the very existence of a powerful and accursed people. In the climactic mêlée, it is a race to the death, or if Beth has her way, a race to the life-of every Rakum who makes the choice"  
  Source: Ellen's website

As things started to unfold, I was happy dancing and jumping up and down clapping, I was so ecstatic at what was happening.

I struggled to get into this book but that is nothing to do with the book itself and everything to do with my husband complaining I was spending more time with the is book then with him..Oops..

I'll definitely be getting the next installment Rabbit Legacy I'm just undecided on which format to get it in kindle or paperback? what the heck I might get it in both.. :)

The Judging by Ellen C. Maze

The Judging (The Corescu Chronicles #1) by Ellen C. Maze

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I won this book from one of Ellen C. Maze's competitions, Ellen wrote inside it “Enjoy the ride”. What a ride it was!

Mark Corescu is like Dexter with fangs.

Mark was a Priest before being transformed into a vampire, back in 1640. He has lived his vampire life, believing he is doing God’s will by killing evildoers of the human race; giving them the chance to repent, before draining their bodies of blood and subsequently ending their lives.

Fate brings two people into his life who make him question whether these judging’s he’s been performing are really the will of God? Or could it be an idea the humanity left in him cooked up so he can live what he has to do to survive?

This is so well written.

Throughout ‘The Judging’ Ellen C. Maze takes you from one characters point of view to the next. I personally find this confusing or annoying in other books. But Ellen does it so well, I found myself enjoying each character as they came along and connecting with them in a way i never thought possible. It was always just at the right time. When I was starting to think what is he/she thinking about this, the next paragraph I’d be in his/her head and he’d/she’d be telling me exactly what I wanted to know or just enough to satisfy my mind for the time being.

I’ll be first in queue to buy ‘Damascus Road: Book Two of The Corescu Chronicles’.

I already have Ellen C. Maze’s other book ‘Rabbit: Chasing Beth Rider’ sat on my kindle waiting to be read next. :)

Everyone should definitely go out and buy this book immediately, you don’t know what your missing.
