A Few Sample Reviews For You to Peruse

Okay, so I know that all of these pertain to a particular Author, (what do you expect of me? This is what has been on my desk for the better part of a year!) However, you can get a feel for the kind of reviews I give and what I do for Authors who I truly love.


Sample reviews:

Today I sit down and write about some of my favorite Authors. Of course there are the very well known and popular Authors out there; such as Brandon Mull (Fable Haven series) Cassandre Clare, Kami Garcia of course!! But there has been a new addition to my all time FAVORITE Authors..
Since I have taken that scary leap into self publishing and networking I have come across a few very genuine and lovable Self Published Authors like myself. On the top of that list is Mr. Paul Zunckel. His writing is both terrifying and beautiful to say the least. As he resides in South Africa his stories are set in the African bush. What a mirror image of his writings!! Beautiful and yet terrifying. Mr. Zunckel has brought forth some of the best new characters to date. As with Mr. Brandon Mull the characters you can fall in love with grow attached to and feel like they are apart of your family each time you read a new tale. He makes you worry for them, feel pride in them when they over come the challenges set before them, I could go on but I will stop there. As I stated before the stories are great! A good author will make you enjoy a good story but a GREAT Author will draw you in and leave his/her mark on you for the rest of your life. Mr. Zunckel has done just that, and if you take one moment to read his works you may find yourself agreeing with my assessment. Mr. Zunckel is a GoodReads author and you can find his works  on Goodreads along with my reviews of his works. 

Man in the Shadows Review

Where to start? What to say?? Paul brings us one of the most terrifying psychological thrillers to date! I had the privilege of reading this right off and had I been better prepared, I may not have had the nightmare or two that followed. Man in the Shadows is about a literary agent who has spent many years, working hard on building up his business, working long hours pouring his heart and soul into his business, putting everything else on the back burner including his family.
This will only prove to be his demise however! I won't give anything away here in my review, but I know if I were an actual literary agent, this book would have me looking over my shoulder every five minutes!!
A superior story, well told, and definitely not for the faint of heart! So creepy, I'm not sure I could read this book again. If you really want to be scared, and enjoy the fear adrenaline, then this book is for you. The story starts out thrilling, and ends in the same way.... you can't put it down, (that is unless it literally scares the hell out of you!)
I will admit, I do not scare easily, if at all. However, this book had me freaked from the beginning all the way to the end.
In other words I LOVED IT!

 Whispers in the Wind Review

What an outstanding story! Mr. Zunckle has out done himself this time with Whispers in the Wind. Once again our favorite characters are back and are in more danger than before. The element of human trafficking in Africa is deeply explored in this story, and I believe that Mr. Zunckle has a good grasp on the subject. Id you are a fan of Mr. Zunckle's and have not yet read this story you need to. I applaud the author for also developing his own subjects and exploring new territory in his writing, this time he brought a surprising touch of romance to the forefront. Good for you sir! The love scenes are steamy but nicely written so that the reader is not put off by the material. So let's take a look at what you will find in this book, romance, steamy love scenes, horror of a family torn apart by human trafficking, and then a wonderful ending... I loved how the main bad person this time around was a female, and she got hers in the end as well as her minions!! It is no wonder that this book was chosen for publication, so you will be seeing it soon in stores! Loved it and definitely a five star read. 

 Review of Mask of Deceit .

Review by Angel C Ernst.

Mr. Zunckel has taken a great leap in his writing this time around. Instead of writing mostly from a male point of view he has delved into the inner workings of the female mind as she has encountered great loss and tragedy.

Juliana De Luca, had met her one true love Paul Stewart… a whirlwind romance develops and fast forward to the honeymoon where everything goes wrong. A group of thugs, ambush the couple at a masked carnival, Paul valiantly tries to save his new bride but dies in the attack. Juliana is brutally raped and cut deeply killing her unborn child. Left for dead in the cold streets, she loses consciousness  and awakens in a hospital where she is given the news. Her mind is set and with the backing of her well connected family revenge begins to take shape for the murders who committed the worst crimes imaginable.

She travels back to Paul’s Safari business and informs his loyal employees of the events that had unfolded.   The plot begins to unfold even more with the support of the Safari staff. Juliana will have her revenge. One by one the men are lured in by her and her staff, and one by one they suffer greatly before the perish at the tormented woman’s plot.

Throughout the story, Juliana is thrown back to earlier happier times with her beloved Paul and she feels his presence as she sets out to embark on revenge for his and her child’s death. It is her only solace as she faces the men who tried to kill her as well as her family. This is a very dark and powerful story. It is not easy for some to write about personal feelings, and for a gentlemen to capture how a traumatized woman would feel, is truly an amazing feet. Mr. Zunckel has done just that with this story. The emotions take you on a roller coaster ride and let’s face it, not many women out there would not feel exactly the way Juliana feels after suffering at the hands of the thugs.

Surprisingly enough, at the end we run into a couple of old friends from Paul’s previous books and one may wonder will Juliana be making an appearance anytime soon in Mr. Zunckle’s future writings??

All around I would give this a 5 star review. Well done Paul capturing the inner workings of the female mind.
