ENDOHUMAN: Love Vs Duty: Book 1 (A Paranormal Superhero Romance Series)

ENDOHUMAN: Love Vs Duty: Book 1 

by Nick Dream


Publisher's Blurb

A page-turning debut in the tradition of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight, amped up and on steroids with some X-Files mystery, some Hitchcock suspense and countless plot twists and cliffhangers that will keep you guessing. And you'll still be wrong!

Review

Adam is a loner, a loner with super powers, powers he needs to keep a secret. Adam is Endohuman

The book takes us on a journey with Adam through his troubled school life and his secret training at home with his grandfather.

Evie is the smart, cute girl at school that Adam admires but cannot get close to because of her sometime boyfriend Brad, the violent bully that makes Adam's life hell.

The author paints an interesting picture of life for Adam and his fumbling interaction with his classmates and his desire to be accepted as one of the crowd.

All this is done with an undercurrent of darkness and supernatural expectation.

The book starts to drift once the sci-fi element is fully introduced but then takes an unexpected turn back to the 'normal' which again is well written and flows nicely.

The finale reverts to the sci-fi narration which seems to include elements from myth and legend as well as the authors own creations but the narrative seems to lose its way at this point and is used as the set up for the next book in the series.

Overall I enjoyed the book but feel the author is stronger writing about real world situations and human interaction than he is with the sci-fi part of the story.

Favourite Books of 2023

With 2024 now nearly a week old, I thought I'd compile a list of my top ten books of 2023. Unfortunately I've not been able to whittle it down to just ten so I tried to make it my favourite ten authors. Once again I failed as there are so many great books I didn't want to leave out. Even so I've had to be harsh and leave out many that would've made last years list (what do you mean I didn't publish a list last year? Yeah, I know, I was too busy reading and writing reviews and I completely forgot) My list is composed of 15 authors and contains 42 books from a variety of genres (it could easily have been 60 books from the 400 I read last year (ok, some of those were quite short and I've not got much else to do) Lets get on with it I hear you yell, so without further ado and in no particular order, these were my favourite reads of 2023 Scratch that. I'm going to list them in alphabetical order by author surname so no further favouritism can be gleaned from
