Saved by One, Shared by TwoSaved by One, Shared by Two by Sylvia Ryan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A few months after an EMP wipes out all electronics in the US – no power for anything electronic and no vehicles, Julia is on her own and struggling to survive one day at a time in the crazy and violent world left behind. Her path crosses her with Arden and eventually Ben, and together they work to create a safe refuge for themselves.

Julia is not your typical romance story weak female waiting for her big strong men to save her. She had previously worked in a prison and knew how to take care of herself. She definitely had a sweet side to her, but also stood up for herself and did not get pushed around. Arden and Ben were each great guys, but neither was exactly what Julia wanted or needed. Together, though, they were perfect. Thrown in together in their fight for survival, despite the odds they wanted to make living together work.

What would happen if we lost all electricity, phones, and clean water? There would be chaos and a fight for survival. I enjoyed this story, and the author made it believable. Though, the ending seemed a little bit abrupt to me; I would have loved to know more about what happened later.

Audio review: I listened to the audio of this book. The narrator did a great job with the story. His voice was smooth and easy to listen to.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

One Less Warlock by Judith Post

One Less Warlock by Judith Post My rating: 4 of 5 stars I think it's hard in a short story to create a unique setting, characters, etc., and still get some sort of story line in. In One Less Warlock, Judith did an excellent job of molding the story in such a way that we got a taste of a distinct world and character personalities, and a complete story to go with it. In this short story Judith was able to pack in witches, vampires, a sexy Were, succubus, voodoo, murder, and mystery, all in only about 20 pages. Pretty amazing. I enjoyed the story and Babet, the main character, and am looking forward to more of her in the future. View all my reviews
