Rayne Hall E-books Review



As a member of the Tomoson Blogger Network, I received copies of the following e-books in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. 

All of the following books are recommended for teens and adults. In some cases, with parental guidance, older children can read them. They are books that are formatted for Amazon Kindle. I have also left a review of each of them on Amazon.

"Cutlass: Ten Tales of Pirates" is just that- ten short stories about pirates. I have always found pirates, like Captain Hook and those in Pirates of the Caribbean to be fun and interesting. Everyone knows that pirate stories truly are very exciting. They offer us a small taste of the freedom and romance of the pirate life as well as the adventure and daring. We also know that the truth is, the pirate life is a brutal and unglamorous one- but fiction brings us to an exciting world of adventure. In these stories, the pirates fight with the righteous rebels and defeat the villains while finding buried treasures. Some of these stories do have a touch of realism,and others are sprinkled with fantasy- but all have adventure as an underlying course.

"Six Quirky Tales" is a book of short, twisted tales. They are fun and quick reads. While I did enjoy these, I did not really get into them as much as I did the Pirate stories. They are very quirky and very twisted.

"Beltane: Ten Tales of Witchcraft" is a bit of a different spin on the common perception of the witch as an evil, ruthless practitioner of black magic out to hurt everyone in her path. However, consider this: if you were to meet a witch, do you know how to know if they're evil or kind? Or perhaps you hear of someone in your area that is practicing magic- do you know if it's real or not? All of the witches in this book are real. They practice all sorts of different witchcraft. Some of them are kind witches and some are evil- so you should definitely take care not to jump to any conclusions. I am a Christian and I do know that witches are real. However, as a Christian, I try to keep a safe distance from them.

"Six Historical Tales" takes you back into history into Ancient Rome, Greece, Britain, the Middle Ages, and more. These stories will make you think and will stretch your imagination. Some of these stories do stem purely from the authors' imagination while others are just old myths told from a different perspective. As a lover of history, I found these stories quite interesting. Again, they are quick reads. I thoroughly enjoyed reading these great stories!
