    5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Thrill Ride - Excellent First In Series
    Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2021
    Butcher of Banshees by Michael W. Huard is Book 1 in the Crones series. This is an awesome read. The world building and character development are phenomenal. The pace is just right keeping you turning pages. The MFC, Bodana, has experienced a great deal of loss and she wants to find why and who caused it. On her journey for revenge she has a number of close relationships with some very unusual characters. The writing is excellent and draws you into the story and leaves you wanting more at the end. This is definitely a must read which I highly recommend. Received an ARC and this is my voluntary review.

    I can't believe I suffered thru 15% of this book. When I state it is juvenile, I mean that it reads like it has been written by a juvenile. I couldn't have finished this book even when I was a juvenile.

    The writing was awkward, and the dialogue was very stiff. The story has potential, but it really was a struggle to get through the writing. I will not be reading the next book.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2021
    A harrowing adventure full of loss and learning how to deal with those heavy losses and find happiness in life. A great main character who is strong, fierce, and powerful yet relatable and with her own flaws. A great story of vengeance with interesting characters.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2021
    Impressive and very entertaining read! Bo is one hell of a woman. She's suffered greatly and still managed to push forward and become a kickass woman. There's so much going on throughout her journey. Lots of action and so many great and colorful characters. Each character is unique and full of personality. I very much enjoyed the imaginative writing skills and world created within the pages. Butcher of Banshees is without a doubt my favorite book by this author. I look forward for more in this series. I very highly recommend reading this book

What happens to her during this journey leads her to unexpected close relationships of the most unusual kind. Together they fight, but please, “Beware” as this is a story that will leave you craving for more!
