Dark Excursions: first set Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 11 ratings

We now take you to a combustible microcosm of human emotion…

Where a young heiress is caught between the love of her ex-beau and the wicked ways of her manipulative mother.

Where a former stable boy’s hazy, scandalous past may prevent him from recapturing a lost love and moving forward with his life.

Where a one-armed gardener keeps a devastating secret from his best friend and the man he loves, forcing him to make a life-altering decision.

Where a methodical matriarch observes and controls them all, like an icy angel far removed from goodness and light.

    Excellent read and great characters! I loved this book. Absolutely brilliant and unique style that grabbed my attention, immediately. Very addictive with superbly described characters. I loved the dark humor imbued in this literary gem. If you're looking for a great read then, I would highly recommend this book and the series of this collective works.

    What a gem to find in the Amazon haystack! Brilliantly written; play on words (a horse named Elmer! Ha!), dark humor, shocking moments. It has an endearing old-timey-radio-show quality to it. A lot of fun to read. I already cannot wait for the next installment! I hope others can and will appreciate the eccentricity of Dark Excursions.

    The style in which book is written is unique. It's almost like reading a soap opera. The characters have many levels, there's a humor that made me smirk, and some twists and turns I didn't see coming. It's a quick and easy read which I enjoy. I was hooked!

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Mystery of Entangled Lives
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 9, 2017
    I chose this rating as the story intrigued me and dragged me to the end wanting to know what had happened.
    I felt no common ground with any of the characters except Dinkel as they all appeared to be without purpose or morals but this was not a fault in the writing, just in my taste. I believed innately that there were people like this is the world - but I would spend no time with them. I've come to the end of Part One and need to read the rest in search of the final outcome.
    This was a good read and good pace. It's written in the present tense which seems to make it feel like it's actually happening now.
