My review for his book "Burning reflection".

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08LZRKVXR/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&geniuslink=true


Welcome to the Twilight zone. This book reminds me of horror stories in the Twilight zone and Hitchock movies. The main character, Aiden, wishes to discover what happened to his uncle. Mirrors in the house are covered, and Aiden remembers a line of numbers from his childhood that uncle repeated like a mantra. 
He had phobias and a kind of evil possessed him. Through the story, we meet different characters, Mr. Gittings, that reminds me of the housekeeper in "Rebecca" movie, dr. Lester took care of his uncle before he died, and maid Kirsten. The story is made with scales of fear and creeps, I wonder with every chapter what will happen and what is indeed the secret.
This is complex horror, the content is about myths, numerology, paranormal, and metaphysic, but it leads the reader through unknown mysteries and unpredictable ends.

Swapping books - a devil's deal

  "I will read your book if you read and review mine." This is an example of author's deal when it comes time for reviews. Reviews is hard to get. If you sell books, it is still not guarantee you will get reviews. If I could get a review for every book I sold, it would be great. People will buy book to collect it on the shelves and leave it un-read. Or, they will read but not rate it. Many reasons are for not getting reviews, but some people don't know where and how to write reviews or are not eligible. That is the reason why authors will turn to other authors, with a proposition for review. The danger of such review is on Amazon rules: author can't review other's author books on request. I love to read indie authors and they inspire me, but I have my circle and I never accept offers to read someone I never heard about. Once I got a proposition :" Hey, I saw your review for XX author, can you write it for me, too?" I ignored it. When you have a deal ...
