Welcome!


Welcome!! My name is Paul Lappen. I am in my early 60s, single, and live in Connecticut USA. This blog will consist of book reviews, written by me, on a wide variety of subjects. I specialize, as much as possible, in small press and self-published books, to give them whatever tiny bit of publicity help that I can. Other than that, I am willing to review nearly any genre, except poetry, romance, elementary-school children's books and (really bloody) horror.

I have another 800 reviews at my archive blog: http://www.deadtreesreviewarchive.blogspot.com (please visit).

I post my reviews to:

booklore.co.uk
midwestbookreview.com
Amazon and B&N (of course)
Librarything.com
Goodreads.com
Books-a-million.com
Reviewcentre.com
Pinterest.com
and on Twitter

I am always looking for more places to post my reviews.

The Skylight Fallout: Book Two of the Skylight Series

 The Skylight Fallout: Book Two of the Skylight Series, J Wint, Independently Published 2022

Second in a series, a young man learns that his fatal condition (characterized by glowing eyes) is not exactly fatal. He finds himself in the middle of a centuries-long war between two secret societies, the Lucem and the Atrum (the bad guys).

 

These days, Jet is very busy. He is trying to understand his place in the Lucem. He is sworn to protect Kamber, his ward, as she starts her first semester at Skylight University. The Atrum think nothing of murder to gain an advantage, so Jet must also keep an eye on Cutter, his old friend.

 

The Century Eclipse is coming, and the Lucem get word that their enemy is planning something really awful. Things get real when Jet confronts his old classmates, some of whom have gone over to the other side. It all revolves around someone called the Skylight Fallout. Is it Jet? Is it one of the Atrum? Who is still alive at the end?

 

The author has done an excellent job with this sequel, especially with the action and the society-building. It will certainly keep the reader interested.

(I received a free copy of this novel and am voluntarily leaving this review)
