Ok so about a year ago I was given a Kindle Fire. I already had a year of amazon prime. If you don't have it, I would suggest getting it for the free book a month you get through the lending library. Well after downloading some free books (some great, others not so much) I came across an author that completely blew my mind, Brian Harmon.
My first introduction was a free book called Rushed. This book is what I would consider a fantasy horror book. It was completely awesome. It has engaging characters that you actually get invested in and a world within our world, that is fantastic, a little weird and scary. Here is a little overview of the book.
"Eric can't remember the recurring dream that keeps waking him in the middle of the night with an overwhelming urge to leave, yet he spends each day feeling as if he desperately needs to be somewhere. With no idea how to cure himself of this odd compulsion, he decides to let it take its course and go for a drive, hoping that once he proves to himself that there is nowhere to go, he can return to his normal life. Instead, he finds himself hurled headlong into a nightmare adventure across a fractured Wisconsin as the dream reveals itself one heart-pounding detail at a time."
Needless to say I was hooked and couldn't put it down. After reading it, I found out that it will become an ongoing series of books and I have to say each book is on par or better than the last.
I then waited and waited until finally his 2nd book titled Rushed: The Unseen came out and low and behold another awesome page turner with new characters and more info on our protagonist Eric. Here is another overview.
"When Eric catches sigh of Creek Bend, Wisconsin's most famous missing person, his mundane morning of running errands rapidly erupts into a chaotic search for mysterious, hidden places scattered throughout his hometown. Along the way, he will have to deal with strange monsters, a murderous cowboy and a curiously intimidating man in a pink shirt."
After another wait that seemed like forever, he released a 3rd book title Rushed; Something Wicked and yet again I was completely engrossed by his writing characters and descriptions of whats going around Eric and his group of friends and loved ones. Here is another overview to wet your appetite.
"When Eric is summoned to help protect a coven of real-life witches from a murderous magic man, he thinks he has an idea of what's in store for him. After all, he's done this kind of thing twice before. But right from the start, nothing seems to be going right. For starters, it's only two days until his wedding anniversary, and if he's not back in time for the romantic getaway Karen has planned for them, he'll have worse things to worry about than dark magic and monsters."
The friends he makes and the interactions that Eric has with his wife via phone calls and texts while he is on these bizarre adventures are brilliant. There are moments when you laugh out loud and moments where you honestly wait with baited breath, asking yourself "what's going to happen on the next page?" I can't say enough about this author except he is really good and I rank him up there with Stephen King and Dean R. Koontz. Give his books a try, you won't be disappointed.
Here is a link to his Facebook page and his web page. His web page hasn't been updated lately due to the fact that he is busy working on the 4th Rushed book, which I am looking forward to reading.
