Golden Void (Black Blade Book 3) by Alexander Charalambides – Review by Bobbi Wagner

Golden VoidGolden Void by Alexander Charalambides
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this story. This is not my first book by this author, it is one of my favorites by this author. This is a young adult story that has action, suspense and a mystical quest. I was pulled into the story right from the first chapter. I had no problems connecting with the characters as they brought the story to life. Megan is about to take on another quest. This one will bring conflict and having to try to control an athlete who has an attitude problem plus add a serial killer after wizards, you get a page turner.. This is a fast paced story that I had a hard time putting down. I highly recommend this book.

Golden Void (Black Blade Book 3)
By Alexander Charalambides
5 out of 5 stars

The story Golden Void (Black Blade Book 3) by Alexander Charalambides is a YA/fantasy book. It is a story that pulls you in from the beginning and doesn’t let you go until the final page. It is a story that has action, danger, and magic. I loved reading about the character of Megan. She is a teen who has just be adopted and also is on a second Quest involving mystery, murder, and swords. As the quest continues, she has started asking herself who her real enemy is? What does the future hold for Megan? Read this book to find out. The author of this story does an amazing job in world-building as well as writing in great detail. I felt like I was right there with Megan and those who are on the Quest with her. This is a book that had me wondering what was going to happen next. I grew to care about what happened to Megan and rooting for her to succeed. Many characters interact with Megan and I couldn’t help but wonder about some of their motives. Megan is a character that wants a better life and also is facing her fears. I found my emotions going up and down as she tries to navigate her way. Don’t miss out on an awesome fantasy book that will have you hooked. I highly recommend reading it.

Choosing between her yearning for deeper meaning and a better life and the powerful personalities around that threaten to dominate her lives, Megan’s forced to wonder, even with all the monsters at her heels, who’s her real enemy?

Endless Nights by R.M. Gilmore is the second book in the Dylan Hart series which is a paranormal suspense book. I fell in love with the first book and this book didn’t disappoint. Dylan is still her sarcastic, sassy self and she ends up biting off more than she can handle. After going on a trip with her an old acquaintance to New Orleans she finds herself upsetting the wrong people. Can she survive this foe? I recommend reading these in order but worth the read! They are packed with suspense, action, mystery and will keep you biting your nails in anticipation on what will happen next while reading.

The second installment of R.M. Gilmore’s Dylan Hart series was just as good as the first book. It was filled with laughter, fun, and excitement. Dylan is such a strong individual and makes for a really good heroine. She takes nothing from anyone, which upon occasion can get her into trouble. In Endless Night trouble is exactly what Dylan finds. Dylan proves once again that she is definitely up to handling anything life throws her. R.M. Gilmore has made a compelling story with Dylan Hart and I look forward to ready more of her adventures.

Endless Night (Dylan Hart Book 2)
by R.M. Gilmore

The author knocked it out of the park again. I loved this book just as much as the first one. It is my suggestion that you read the first book before diving into this one. This book had the same great characters and added some more. There is action, suspense, and unexpected twists and turns. Dylan is so awesome, her mouth and curiosity gets her in trouble more often than not. I found this story to be unique and entertaining. Once I started reading this book I found that I couldn’t put it down until I got to the end and once I reached the end I was left on a cliffhanger, losing my mind!! I cannot wait to read the next one, I have no doubt it will be just as awesome. I highly recommend this book.

5 Stars

I might have liked this one even better than the first, which is saying a lot because I really liked the first of this series, which also says alot about this author because I’m not really that crazy about this genre but when you have a character like Dylan and her snarky attitude I couldn’t help but get hooked. This author transported me right into the story and I enjoyed every second of it.

I love the way vampires and voodoo weaved through this story and where better than in New Orleans. Where better also to help Dylan realize there really is more going on than she realizes or wants to believe.

The ending was almost the end of my kindle and needing to get my hands on the next now is a must.

I can’t wait to read everything by this author. Awesome style and perfect flow of her stories.

Loved it!!

I give Endless Night (Dylan Hart Book 2) by RM Gilmore, 5 stars.

I didn’t really know where the author was going to go next or if she could top book one. I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised at this book. I love the balance it plays between suspense and romance. Taking Dylan and company to New Orleans was great too, because it now shows us how she reacts when out of her element. The relationships she has with her people are changing too, and she has to deal with that on top of everything else. I’m not sure if I personally like all these changes, but I can understand and anxiously await to see where they lead in the future.

If you have read book one, you know that Dylan attracts trouble like no other. So needless to say, she is in it again, without even trying. This part of the story is where the suspense part comes in, but true to the series, there is dark humor and sarcasm all throughout the book. It would not be a Dylan Hart book without her plus sized attitude. Although she is still endearing because she does have a heart and a softer side.

If you like a suspense book with snark, humor, attitude, and a wonderful cast, this book is for you. It can be read as a standalone since the author does a great job of reminding us what happened in the past, but I highly recommend reading book one first. Either way, you will not regret picking up this book.

4 Stars

Vampires, Voodoo and extreme drunkenness; just another weekend in New Orleans. Tatum convinces Dylan to go to New Orleans to keep her company during some vampire convention. Dylan figures it’s the perfect opportunity to do more research for her book. Dylan is unwittingly sucked deeper into the world of vampires and in perfect Dylan style accumulates more enemies. What should have been a party filled weekend getting drunk ends up by being a weekend where she’s fighting for her life.

I really enjoyed this book. I was hoping Tatum would redeem herself in this book but unfortunately I still can’t stand her. I loved the fact that we saw more of Cyrus. I know Dylan doesn’t trust him but I like him. Sometimes Dylan is too stubborn and stupid for her own good. She gets into a lot of trouble which adds excitement and danger to this novel. All her beliefs are crumbling and the story ends on a cliffhanger. Now I’m left hanging until the next book.

Black Blade
by Alexander Charalambides

We are taken on quite an adventure. This book gives us a unique take on excalibur and all that entails. There is action, magic, originality, and great characters. This is the first time I have read anything from this author and I’m glad I did because I enjoyed the way this book was written. You might be a little confused in the beginning but I promise you it does all come together and makes sense. The action started almost from the beginning and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. I recommend this book, it was a fun read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“When Fate Calls, Should You Answer?”
Excalibur, the legendary sword, “calls out across the ages for a worthy hand”, and a cynical American student Lance is the chosen one. Although cynical Lance recognises his own destiny and so accepts fate and Excalibur. The voice of Excalibur becomes louder as Lance travels into the supernatural world below the London he is familiar with. As Lance becomes involved in warring families alongside friend Megan, he must find the hero inside himself and discover whether, “he rules the sword, or does the sword rule him?”. This is an exciting and gripping read which had me hooked from page one. A great mix of legend, myth, the supernatural and drama it is a fast paced page turner.
Black Blade is a unique twist on the legend of Excalibur and I liked Lance’s character, the unlikely hero who here’s the sword calling to him. This book took me on a great adventure along with Lance and it is wonderfully written. I was immersed in the supernatural world below London thanks to Charalambides great world building. I found it was an exciting and fun read.

Lance is a hero who does his best to survive high school, especially in a world that doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense. When his school receives a donation from an anonymous millionaire, Lance and his friend Megan, embark on an international trip to England.

Here, they will find a hand, bearing a sword, appears in a toilet bowl. From then on Lance knows he was the one to employ it. So, he has been called on a Quest with three Wizards named Albrecht, Reinhardt and Kendrick, along with Megan to safeguard Excalibur. Lance must also keep his friends safe from the army of magical soldiers.

Black Blade is a well written story and has everything from action to paranormal and was very enjoyable to read. It is a modern day story of Excalibur and a wonderful twist on the fairytale, where Lance, Megan and the wizards are all on a treasure hunt.

This is a really enjoyable book and would really recommend. It is full of twist and turns with fantasy, adventure and amazing characters. Looking forward to reading more from the author.

When I first started reading Black Blade (Black Blade Book 1) by Alexander Charalambides, I was a bit put off with the short clipped dialogue of our hero and heroine. But as I continued to read, I realized how normal that was. That is exactly how a great many of us speak and communicate. It was worth sticking with it because as you progress through the story the other characters in the story have dialogue that is a thing of beauty. I love language and how it flows together, and this author brings it to the fore. The characters are very unique, well described and memorable. The world he builds is diverse and you can almost smell it. There is plenty of action, twists and turns and quite unpredictable. Then, of course, there is always the story within the story. Just a little head up here the story goes at a nice little pace until you near the end. It’s a page turning roller coaster after that. Be prepared.

Black Blade is the first book I have read by Alexander Charalambides. This book brings the story of Excalibur to modern times. Although this book started out slow for me, it really came on strong a couple of chapters in. It is full of action and adventure, and the characters really grew as the story progressed. Lance and Megan, American teenagers, take a special trip for college to the UK to tour a museum, and that is where the story begins. I really like that the story is told in multiple POV. You really learn what each of the characters are thinking that way. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more by Alexander Charalambides.

Endless Night (Dylan Hart Book 2) by RM Gilmore is a fast-paced paranormal mystery and better than the first. This book sees Dylan once again the centre of attention as it appears, she has been set upon by magic older than time and the reason why is unsure but this sassy loudmouth cannot keep her anger under control once her goat is up. This thrilling read is set in NOLA and is ripe with vampires and voodoo, mystery and danger, drama and suspense. My only complaint is that RM always leaves me hanging when the going gets good so now I am anxiously awaiting the next book.

This story is a great twist on the story of Excalibur. The story is a fast pace story. Once I started this book I could not put it down. The characters of the book are fully developed. I found that the characters are what makes this story of Excalibur fun. Lance, the main character, always knew that he was special. He could sense the greatness within himself. He has some rough times ahead. I recommend this story. It is the perfect break you need from the craziness of today.

R. M. Gilmore does it again. Endless Night, in my opinion, is even better than The Scene, book 1. By the way you need to read The Scene to fall in love with Dylan. She is a feisty character that you swear is your lost relative. Dylan is still dealing with vampires but this time she is heading to New Orleans. What other trouble do you think Dylan will be getting in trouble with? Her attitude and her head-strong has brought her through her life so far. Will those charms keep going? I highly recommend this book. I cannot wait for the next adventure.

Endless Night by RM Gilmore a five-star read that you won’t want to end. This is number two in the Dylan Hart series and follows Dylan on the amazing journey they call life, if there is a limit this character can push they will. This is such a fast paced, thrilling read that is so well described you will feel part of the story, feel like you are there in NOLA with them. I enjoy the secondary characters and the twist that we get with the bestie, that just kept it real as that’s life for some of us. But there are other who step up to the plate, I’m just not sure how far they stepping yet. This was a great second story and I can’t wait for the next instalment.

There is something in it for everyone. I found myself flying through the pages because I wanted to know what was coming around the corner. I did finish the book in one sitting. The characters are unique and fully developed. Dylan is a journalist who takes her job seriously. She is a strong female character. She is trying to figure out what is going on. She needs to see if there is really a vampire causing this death. I highly recommend this book and I cannot wait to see what the series holds for us.

The Search continues and so does the series and I was not let down. This is the second book in the series and yet again the author has totally sucked me in. I really like how the characters jump right off of the page and into the world I envision in my head. I felt as though I was right in the thick of things right next to the characters. This book does a wonderful job of continuing the series and flows really well from the first book.

I really liked chasing the story alongside Dylan and find out how things continue to unfold between her and Cyrus. I really have a love hate relationship with cliff hangers but the author has a done a spot on A+ job of one for this book. I like how Dylan’s story is starting to unfold and how she does have to evaluate her relationships and how they really are all important to her. I love investigations and supernatural ones really just hit the right spot. I cannot wait to read more from this author and this series. I need to know how it will all unfold.

It’s a wonderful feeling finding a new author and a new series. This is the first book by this author I have read and the first book in the series and I was not disappointed. The author has a very refreshing style and characters. I really love the whole investigative journalist angle and come on who doesn’t love vampires! I really like how the characters just jump right off of the page and I felt as though I was in the thick of it with them.

I really could see myself in Dylan’s place chasing the story and chasing all the leads. I really like how she is down to earth and isn’t afraid to get the story. I also like how the author doesn’t make the story transparent and that it makes the reader just as much an investigator as Dylan. I really like the chemistry between Dylan and the detective and also Dylan and Cyrus. I like how she is a bit uncertain about Cyrus and I look forward to how things progress in the series with this. I will definitely be reading more from this author and this series.
