Winter Sparrow is a testimont to the skill author Estevan Vega possesses. It may only be a novella, but it holds the power and captivity of a full length novel.
Winter Sparrow starts off with Mary, the main protagonist, and her husband-to-be, Joshua, going to their future home; a mansion left behind by Joshua's father. Mary is dealing with powerful self-doubts and a troubled past she is unable to fully escape from, disabling her from loving Joshua fully. After their marriage, tragedy strikes and her heart grows cold towards her husband, and in a sick twist the two of them are sucked into a place neither wish to be.
The novella is written in a style that draws you in from the very first page to the last. Vega shows once again he has the skill and wit of a best-selling author with his new piece of work with an ending that will leave you in shock and awe.

Anasazi: A Sense Of Truth Novel Book 2 by Emma Michaels
After reading "The Thirteenth Chime" by Emma Michaels I knew this book would be amazing. Though there was slight doubt in my mind, as a lot of books lose stride in their sequel, but this was certainly not the case here with "Anasazi."
Megan Haines, the lead character of this book up until David from the first book reenters, is a seriously funny and charismatic character that I fell in love with from the first page. Her witty remarks in the face of trouble had me laughing and smiling throughout this whole book, and her determination to find her one true love - David - was certainly admirable. And as always David comes in with a great comment or two.
This book has a lot of depth to it. The details about the Hopi and Navajo tribes were impressive, showing that Emma Michaels certainly wasn't kidding around when writing this book. She put in the time and effort to portray the legends of the old Indian tribes correctly, and she did a fantastic job!
Though I would have loved to learn more about what it is David has forgotten - mentioned in the first book - it just makes me even more eager to read the next book to figure out who David Kings really is!
Prognosis: AMAZING book! If you pass up on this then it'll be a MAJOR mistake!

The Thirteenth Chime: A Sense Of Truth Novel by Emma Michaels
The Thirteenth Chime is one of those interesting, suspensful, smart, funny, unique novels that comes along only every so while. It's a perfect blend of all of these things and more!
I personally related a lot with David, and not just because he's the male protagonist. He's caring and devoted, despite the wrongs he's been presented in the past. He's ready for any challenge and doesn't let up until he completes his task. In the beginning of the book, when he's first introduced, he's in the middle of a suspensful situation that could have cost him his life but he pulls through with his wit and tenderness. And even in the worst situations he comes out with a witty remark.
The novel is full of clever humor; the characters cracking small jokes even in the face of danger. More than once I found myself tightening my grip on the book as a suspensful scene played out only to nearly drop the book laughing.
This was defintely worth the read! Emma Michaels is a talented author who writes with a passion and wit you don't get to see everyday. Overall, this is a definite must read!
