By 

Shelly Tavenner (Virginia) –

  

Maddie Harris has had it with men. When she moves into her Grandmother’s house in Beaver Cove, Arkansas, she is determined to lead an uneventful and orderly life as the local high school’s assistant principal. Of course it’s hard to consider your life normal when you not only talk to your dead grandmother, but can also see her. Oh, and let’s not forget the one night of crazy sex, under the full moon, down by the lake with a late-night fisherman…

Ex-football star, Phil Wilcox, is working on redemption. He wasn’t much of a husband in the old days and even less of a father, but he wants to re-connect with his 11 year-old daughter, Melissa. Three years sober, Phil is ready to jump through any hoop to have Melissa call him Daddy again. Even if that means being civil to his money-hungry, manipulative ex-wife AND building the first winning football season Beaver Cove has seen in many years.

Maddie and Phil…polar opposites. He knows nothing about fashion, while she color coordinates everything. She has a place for every single possession and his idea of `order’ is getting takeout at the Taco Bueno. And if they could just stop picking at each other, maybe they’d find they have something in common…like a blissful night spent under that ol’ devil moon.

Dana Taylor has crafted a witty ride for readers with That Devil Moon. You won’t get away from this read without chuckling…whether it’s from Phil’s wicked sense of humor, his daughter’s little, unknown facts or the crazy antics that happen in Beaver Cove. The momentum fell flat a few times and it felt as though there were two endings, but the need to find out if Phil and Maddie can make it as a couple, pushes you onward. While couched in humor, Ms. Taylor does explore the very serious subjects of redemption, pregnancy, drugs, staying in school, gays and stalkers and does an excellent job of not preaching to the reader or letting these subjects slip away in the humor. The secondary characters were absolutely outstanding. Randy Bailey, Maddie’s gay best-friend and Melissa are hilarious, Grammy Harris tells it like it is and backwoods neighbor/student, Reba, is a quiet jewel. All-in-all, a delightful story and a one-sitting read. Pick this one up for an evening of fun.

Containment contains several of the key ingredients of classic science fiction. The technology, the people, the plot within a plot within a plot, and the questioning of what is real all made me feel like I was reading the work of an up-and-coming scifi genius.

Comparable to Asimov, April 4, 2010

By 

Jason Jackson “Jason Jackson” (Rapid City, SD, United States) –

  

This review is from: Containment (Kindle Edition)

I would compare Cantrell to Asimov in style and substance, which is high praise. Containment contains several of the key ingredients of classic science fiction. The technology, the people, the plot within a plot within a plot, and the questioning of what is real all made me feel like I was reading the work of an up-and-coming scifi genius. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good scifi read.

Proving that writing a short, tight story is not a lost art, April 12, 2010

By 

A. Scott –

  

Amazon Verified Purchase(http://www.amazon.com/gp/community-help/amazon-verified-purchase/185-2373401-1762051', ‘AmazonHelp’, ‘width=400,height=500,resizable=1,scrollbars=1,toolbar=0,status=1′);return false; “>What’s this?)

This review is from: Containment (Kindle Edition)

Mr. Cantrell has written a very tight story with Containment. The characters are believable. The references to modern science are accurate (at least the ones in my field were) and insightful. I felt like I was given just enough to connect with the main character and to understand his connection (or lack thereof) to the world around him. There was no extraneous fluff in this story which was appropriate for a tale about a space colony surviving on the bare necessities. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel and started downloading more of his work as soon as I finished this piece.

Powerful, dark and brilliant, October 28, 2010

By 

VickiT –

This review is from: Disintegration: A Mystery Thriller (Kindle Edition)

Jacob Wells wakes to the smell of smoke. Flames engulf the hallway to his 9-year-old daughter’s bedroom. Frantic he tries to save her, in the process sustaining a dislocated hip and second-degree burns to over twenty percent of his body…

A psychological thriller that grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go, not even at its shocking conclusion. It literally tore at my insides. Intense and emotional, this is Scott Nicholson at his finest.

Powerful, dark and brilliant.

Fascinating and disturbing, October 27, 2010

By 

Christa Polkinhorn (Santa Monica, CA, USA) –

  

This review is from: Disintegration: A Mystery Thriller (Kindle Edition)

Another reviewer called this book “an emotional rollercoaster” and it sure was for me, too. I was sad, angry, I laughed insanely, and I hated this book at times. I wanted to throw it at the wall (except it’s in my Kindle and, of course, I didn’t want to ruin my eReader), but I couldn’t stop. I’m not a thriller lover and now I know why. I want my characters to be flawed, troubled, even tortured but I want them to be basically good people, and the characters in this novel are anything but decent.
So why am I giving this novel 5 stars? Because, it is so well written. There is never a dull moment; each scene moves the story forward, giving just enough hints to build tension. I stayed up half the night, reading, wanting to know what’s going to happen next. There are so many surprises, yet there is enough foreshadowing to lead the reader along the way to its shocking end. Lovers of thrillers will have a heyday with this. Highly recommended.
