Jean Rabe recommends

The Golden Cord (2008)
(Iron Dragon, book 1)
Paul Genesse
"Paul Genesse's tale is elegantly written and filled with rich, believable heroes and villains. He transports you to a vibrant fantasy world that feels so real and complex you won't want to leave. It is irresistible."

Zombies, Werewolves, & Unicorns (2010)
Stephen D Sullivan
"Stephen D. Sullivan is a master at crafting fast-paced action scenes that keep the pages turning. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. The two tales are that engrossing."

The Secrets on Chicory Lane (2017)
Raymond Benson
"Where a novel lands on a bookstore shelf is defined by label: mystery, suspense, thriller, horror, literary. Raymond Benson’s The Secrets on Chicory Lane is all of those things, and a little more. . . . Benson sculpts perfect sentences and scenes, memories and emotions dripping off the pages."
