Hungry Business: A Gothic Story about the Horrors of Dating by Maria DeBlassie – Review by Trish Ann

Hungry BusinessHungry Business by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I am not usually one for zombie stories but the cover of the book drew me in. I really thought it was a good story. The plot kept me invested which was good for the shortness of the story! Very clever and well written in such a short amount of pages!

Weep, Woman, Weep: A Gothic Fairytale about Ancestral Hauntings by Maria DeBlassie – Review by Shea Gilkerson

Weep, Woman, WeepWeep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoy the authors prose and the idea behind the story. The idea is enjoyable, the message of not holding on to your fears and traumas to not live a life of misery is outstanding. The way the author presents is very nice, but the book is far too short to really get to the meat of it. So many wonderful characters presented, but not explored. I think sussing this out and getting deeper would make it even more than 5 stars. Mercy draws you in, and you cheer her on. The fears of becoming, basically, a miserable old crone and constantly wondering if the choices you’re making are the correct ones are real. I’ve read her Practically Pagan book and really enjoyed it, just feel a bit like we didn’t get in depth enough to really make it spectacular. I did enjoy what there was, I just had so many questions you never get answered. The 120 pages are worth a read!

Ashes of Aldyr (The Obscured Throne Trilogy Book 1) by Russell Archey – Review by Alexandra Leith

Ashes of Aldyr (The Obscured Thorne Trilogy Book 1)Ashes of Aldyr by Russell Archey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A perfect book for Halloween! This book is a dark fantasy so be prepared to get some chills.

Ahes of Aldyr takes place in a land called Alda which has been destroyed by a sinister cult and the beings they worship. This cults mission was to break through 55 seals to release the creatures and God like beings of the Obscure Throne who quiet literally bring hell on earth. People are being taken and forgotten, creatures wreak havoc on the ones still there, strange plants and smells are taking over cities and the remaining surviors are just doing what they can to survive.

I absolutely loved this book because it is like nothing I’ve ever read before. Each chapter is a different story told from a different point of view and even time. At the beginning it doesn’t seem to make sense but once you let go of the traditional way of story telling you start to see the bigger picture of this book and what the author did. Usually when you read a book its only from one or maybe a few points of view. Which can be very limiting especially in a dystopian story. However Archey told this story from everyone’s point of view. From the cult members, the low and the high society members, the innocent and the guilty, and the different beings that make up Alda. This book gives the reader the imagery of an entire world that has fallen and how it came to be that way. The world-building that came from Archey’s mind is brilliant and genius. With each chapter we see the same world but from others eyes and it created something beautifully horrific. This book is truly a one of a kind and I cannot wait to read the rest of this trilogy.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Evil Sushi by C. A. King. To say this book was way outside outside my comfort zone would be an understatement but I’m so glad I opened my mind to give it a try. This author just knows how to create an interesting story world that keeps readers coming back for more. The storyline is just well thought out and paced nicely with characters you want more of. It’s a mind bending storyline and definitely had me saying “what the heck” more than once in a good way. I like a story that keeps me on my toes and this author sure knows how to do that. If you’re looking for something a bit different and unique I highly recommend this story. I’m giving this story a four star review! Can’t wait to see where the author takes readers next.

Evil Sushi by C.A. King was an interesting read. I would give this book a four out of five stars. I can’t put into words how captivated I was with the story. Rod’s, Ned’s, and Sally’s point of views give you enough story to keep you going. The characters are well rounded and the plot is one I have not seen before. I struggled to put the book down and finished it in one sitting.

I give Evil Sushi by C.A. King, 4 stars.

There was a time when everyone came together and you helped your fellow neighbor. That time has long passed and the world will never be the same. Now it’s every man for themselves. For the fishermen of a small East Coast community, life is really bad. Fish is the new hot commodity and the seas have been overfished. Not to mention the big companies have come in with their huge boats to take what little is left. That is, until two fisherman find what they believe to be the answer to everyone’s prayers. But remember the saying, if it’s too good to be true? Well, it looks to be the case here. The creatures just may be striking back…

The hardest thing is describing this book. In the beginning of the book, it almost sounds like it’s teaching us to change our ways and show us what can happen if we don’t. But the more you read, the more it turns into a comedy horror. Or does it? Whatever category you decide to put this in, one thing is for sure — I have definitely never read anything close to this before. It draws you in, even though you’re scratching your head in wonder. The writing is that good and the story that intriguing, you just can’t put the book down. The characters are something else too. But this book is definitely worth the time.

If you want something unlike anything you have ever read before, this book is for you.

4 Stars!!!!

I stepped out of my comfort genre for this book. I was quite taken with this book. This is a unique story line. I really like what the author has done with this story line. The characters are quite realistic even given the paranormal spin to the book. I found myself at the edge of my seat awaiting to see what would happen next.

I like how the author created the setting. I also like the chemistry between Rod and Sally. I could really relate to the work situation for the fishermen. I was really on edge as the book went on and things took a negative turn for Rod’s discovery. I really cannot wait to read more from this author.

I have read other books by this author and she never disappoints!! This book was full of fantasy, intrigue, mystery, suspense and so much more. This book is so rich in detail that you feel like your right there. There were different dynamics to this story, people with their own agendas and the damage that people are capable of. This story was unlike anything I have ever read, its originality kept me engrossed and the vivid descriptions kept me reading. This book is a definite must read and I highly recommend it.

Evil Sushi by C.A. King a five-star read that you will want to chow down on. This is the first in a new series and shows us again what a talented but scary mind C.A. King must have, the imagination of this author is second to none. This supernatural thriller has a bit of everything in it, it’s a rea thought provoking and startling story, it will make you stop and think all the while you are swept up and unable to stop reading. There were so many levels and depths to this story, so many layers like a fancy trifle some are sweet, but they may not all be. Sink your teeth into this story and if you haven’t read this author before, find yourself a new favourite author along the way.

I have seriously fallen in love with the writings of CA King this last year. So much so, that I have started to share some of her work with my tween daughter so that I have someone to discuss these awesome books and the worlds that are brought to life within them. Evil Sushi is one of those books that makes a dystopian world terrifying. I loved this book! As per King’s typical, she has created a world where the environment begins to fight back. I love that just as you think to know what to expect things become very multidimensional and adds twists and turns that one could never have predicted.

I won’t give you much more details other than what is already divulged in the blurb and my own thoughts on the book because I just couldn’t bear to ruin this story. I will say that this book will lead us directly to a second book, Sashimi! I will be anxiously awaiting it to see what will come next. I am sure that I will love it too! In the meantime go grab Evil Sushi and dig in today! Its one you don’t want to miss!

Evil Sushi is the first book in the Evil Sushi series. The ending leaves it open for the next book.

I loved the creativity of this story. This book encompasses several genres which makes for an entertaining read. I wasn’t sure what to expect because the blurb was a bit vague, but the intrigue of it all kept me reading. I finished the book in just a few hours because I couldn’t put it down.

I will say that I had a challenge liking the Sally character. I’m not sure what it was about her that gave me difficulty, but it didn’t affect the overall story enough for me to stop reading.

I’m definitely looking forward to the second book!!!!

Evil Sushi is not what I expected! It was so much more. In this book you will experience many feels. Some will have you sitting on the edge, others will keep you reading this book. This story being the first in the series, will keep you looking out for the next book in this exciting series. I will tell you, I am happy that I am allergic to all seafood. For this story puts a new light on Sushi.

C. A. King has such a creative mind. I have read many of her book. But this has really forced me into a side of books, I don’t generally read. The characters are well explained, you will love some had hate others. Which is what makes this story a “Must Read”. Way to keep me up late C. A. King. I just could not stop reading! You can bet I am getting book 2! Bring it on C. A. King!

If you love C. A. King books, you do not want to miss Evil Sushi. One thing I love about C. A. King is the fact that she grabs my attention at the very beginning of the story and she holds it until the very end. Ms. King’s characters are engaging and realistic like they are apart of my circle of friends, Her attention to detail is amazing. I feel like I am right there with the characters throughout the book. Evil Sushi is no exception. As the author left this at the end of her synopsis, “Is Evil Sushi fiction, the ramblings of a lunatic, or a prophecy as to what may come to pass? Pick this one up and decide for yourself.”

Huge fan of C. A. King so of course I’m gonna read the first in her new series. Kind of an odd start though. People get more ecofriendly but caring about methane from cows so fish becomes more popular. But because the population has exploded, the seas are becoming ever more barren. Two intrepid fisherman find something in the depths. My first guess was that this was gonna be a twist between Grabbers and Cthulhu. If either of those things tickle you fancy, read on!

Evil Sushi (Evil Sushi Series Book 1) by C.A. King was a thrilling read that had me hooked.

Not my first read by this author, so I was excited to see this little wonder appear. The cover captured my attention (as does all the covers for this author) and once I read the synopsis, I was hooked, line and sinker.

As I am a fan of horror, and fantasy, this was a pleasant mix that really kept me reading. The detail was to shelf as per-normal with this author, and the story telling alluring. This book takes you into a darkness that has a bit of realism to it, making this read all the more heart pounding. The tone and flow matched and helped with keeping you not only engaged but on the edge of your seat.

Original and fresh this book is a must read, so please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will not beadle to put this book down, or look at certain things we eat, the same way again.

Happy Reading

This is my first book by C.A. King and while fantasy is not my go to genre, this was a pretty good story. It does not have a happy ending but instead it ends making you want to know what is going to happen. I look forward to book 2 and checking out other stories by this author.

The plot of this story is different and interesting. Losing all the fish in the ocean is believable, sad but still believable…the part of Evil Sushi, however not so much. The characters seem to be down on their luck thanks to big companies and government taking over everything. I look forward to seeing if the tables turn in the next book.

Fans of fantasy will sure to enjoy this story.

I have read a few novels by this author and once again she did not disappoint me. For me, Evil Sushi was almost a commentary on what life on earth could be like if we continue on our current path, minus the murderous sea monster of course. Evil Sushi has everything every good fantasy novel needs. It has suspense, a villain, a hero, and love. I cannot wait for the next installment of this series. If you are wanting a fun read, I gladly recommend Evil Sushi.

Evil Sushi by C.A. King is the first book in the new Evil Sushi series. I was excited to read a new series by this author because I have enjoyed everything I have read from her in the past. What happens when two fishermen make an amazing discovery which can change the world as we know it? This is a crazy ride which combines tales of old and reality. I was wondering where I was going to be taken next. There are some crazy moments and some which had me a bit spooked. Overall this is a fun ride and I look forward to more in this series to see where C.A. King goes next.

I have a bookshelf in my “library” (my husband calls it my hideout) that is dedicated to paperbacks written by this author. I love her books and and often wonder how her imagination comes up with some of the stories.

EVIL SUSHI is the first book in a new series. It has a very interesting premise, one which has very real aspects to it (over fishing and corporate greed, climate change, weird fish) and some fantastical aspects also (oh please let them be fantasy and not reality). This is a very detailed read that I could visualize while I was reading along. There is great character development and world building along with so many other elements that I could go on and on but I don’t like to “recap” the entire book.

I will say that this is one of my favorite books (WHEN LEAVES FALL being my absolute favorite) that I have read by this author.

I absolutely recommend this story!
I look forward to the next installment in the series and may never eat Sushi OR Sashimi again.

Evil Sushi (Evil Sushi Series Book 1) by C.A. King was an excellent read. I loved the characters and the plot of the story. I liked that this book took pollution and issues with climate change to the extreme to create a world almost completely void of ocean life. It made for the fascinating creation of the Evil Sushi. The characters of this novel really brought out the craziness that could happen with a shortage of different resources and the consequences.

This author definitely brought forth her creativity with this novel and the characters. I had no problem following along as the story progressed and I cannot wait to see what happens in book two! Such a fun fantasy novel! I highly recommend it.

Evil Sushi is the first book in the incredible new series, Evil Sushi, by the very talented C.A King. This is such an original and clever story, unlike anything I have read before. It has elements of paranormal, sci-fi, horror, action, dystopia, adventure, thriller, mystery, and suspense. With environmental and political issues and agendas, discoveries, grudges, fishing with a twist, danger, good vs evil, small town setting, conspiracies, desperation, greed, secrets, pandemic, mutation, anger, mistakes, hidden agendas, merpeople/mermaids, fishermen, monsters, and enough intrigue to keep you hooked right till the very end.
This is such an imaginative, unique, incredibly detailed, and well written story. Ms. King has a very compelling and dynamic style- full of vivid descriptions and woven with lots of texture and complexities. Her scene setting and world creation is quite superb, and her words have a ‘visual’ quality to them, which brings anything she writes to life. Because Ms. King has mastered so many different genres, and her books always have a bit of a twist, I never really know exactly what I will be getting into once I embark on one of her stories. But I am always guaranteed of an engaging and fascinating read. And one thing I know for sure after reading most of her extensive catalogue of books, is that her imagination knows no bounds, and she seems to have a limitless well of wonderful ideas and storylines to draw on and inspire her creativity. She never ceases to amaze me.
The story definitely entertained me, but it also really made me think, by highlighting current environmental issues and giving possible future outcomes to ponder- then adding plenty of surprises, a few twists, some humour, and just a dash of crazy into the mix.
I had a lot of fun reading “Evil Sushi” and discovering this threat to humanity- and am very intrigued to see where this series is headed now. Bring on “Sashimi”!!!

Thank you, Ms. King!

I will admit the blurb didn’t exactly grab my attention. However knowing how good her other books have been I jumped straight into this one. The story was crazy in the best kind of way. It had me on the edge of my seat a few times.

The story Evil Sushi (Evil Sushi Series Book 1) by C.A. King is a supernatural thriller. It is a book that I found entertaining and mysterious. It has suspense, danger, and strange situations that defy reality. Just what is Evil Sushi? Is it a fantasy, fiction or a prophecy as to what many come to pass? I enjoyed reading about many of the characters in the story and some of them I came to care about what happened to them. Others have their own agenda and plans in which they will do anything to make them a reality. The story pays tribute to the horror tales that are told throughout time and had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. What will happen to the characters in the story and Evil Sushi? Read this book to find out. There are moments that I found to be suspenseful and others that I had to shake my head at what the characters did. Don’t miss out on a thrilling tale that is bound to keep you up until you have read the final page. I highly recommend reading it.
