Review: Consequences (Chronicles of M Book 4) by Nicholas Forristal


Description:
Roughly ten years have gone by since the death of A'loc and the unexpected public demonstration from M and Thomas. M, now a minor TV celebrity, is finding out there's more to being a star than just fans and with every turn a new danger lurks. New, blood thirsty mutants attack M at every chance, strange investigations in other countries and a psychopathic mass murderer are just a few examples.

Who are the BLB and why are they so intent on killing M? Why has nothing happened with the Lords and who, or what is a Domitianus? There's never a dull day in the life of M.


My Thoughts:
M on a talk show. I was hooked right there. I have enjoyed this series and this book is no exception. There are new and interesting characters, as well as old favorites. This book has Thomas, magic, zombies, Mai and Oni, and a five man midget death squad from Scotland. It is not necessary to have read the other books, but I recommend it. And this one is definitely not the end. There is death, mayhem, action, and humor. It was a fun read and I'm looking forward to book 5.

Review: Chronicles of M Trilogy by Nicholas Forristal


Description:
This the first trilogy in the Chronicles of M. It's a series about the worlds only living superhero and the ex-government funded agency that helps him cope with modern day life as he saves us from the unknown and himself. A must read for any fantasy fan who enjoys a little dark humor, a splash of magic and the supernatural.

NOTE: In addition to the 3 books, a section of "behind the scenes" is included that details how many of the main ideas came to be and also included are every book cover, used or not.


My Thoughts:
This is a contemporary fantasy series with magic, zombies, humor, and a bit of sci-fi. Each book has a bit of a different feel to it, even some different characters, but all revolve around the character of M. This edition has all 3 books of the first trilogy together, along with some bonus content. The extras are not listed in the table of contents, but are located right before the book covers. It was fun to get some of the background on certain aspects of the books. Entertaining and fun to read, I highly recommend this series.

My Rating: *****
Steam Factor: !
*Notes: Profanity, blood and gore. Not for the easily offended.

Review: A'loc - Chronicles of M #3 by Nicholas Forristal

A'loc (Chronicles of M, Book 3) by Nicholas Forristal 

Description:
A serial killer is on the loose. With no clues, no witnesses and the bodies piling up, the local police call for the only people who can help. What the police don't know is just how full Thomas and M's plate already is. Time is running out. It's been ten months since A'loc showed up and challenged M to a duel to the death.

For him to even have a chance against A'loc, M must learn a lifetime's worth of magic, but Thomas's brother Amit is missing. Without him, M can only hope to learn what Thomas is physically able to show him. M also has to learn how to handle himself in a fight from Mai and discover the extent his mutant powers can go, but how can he do that when he can't even beat her? It's been a long hard road for everyone and it's not even close to over yet.

Amit is the third and last book of the first trilogy in the Chronicles of M.


My Thoughts: 
M has been training for his big duel with A'loc. For a break, he gets to track down a serial killer. Quite a bit has changed over the course of the books. the feel is a bit different, and I think this is the funniest. I love M's sarcasm, especially compared to the serious Thomas. Uhler is around quite a bit, spouting random movie quotes. This book has more fighting, more magic, and more laughs. You never know what is going to happen next. With action, magic, humor, and a big dose of crazy, this is a fun read. (If you haven't read the first two, you can check out my reviews for book 1 and book 2.)

Review: Chronicles of M: Ammit by Nicholas Forristal

Chronicles of M: Ammit by Nicholas Forristal

Description:
In this sequel to Chronicles of M, Samuel and Thomas race to find a way to purge the demon that resides in M. The demon takes complete control over M and escapes captivity, leaving Thomas to rely on old acquaintances and new allies to help him hunt down M before he kills again.

My Thoughts:
This is book 2 of the Chronicles of M and picks up right where the first book ends. There is enough information that you could probably get away with not reading the first book, but then you would miss all the fun. If you haven't read it, you can find my review for Book 1 here.
Now, trying my best to avoid spoilers, there are some answers to lingering questions from the first book, and some more history, but even more questions. There are different points of view in the story, and the style is a bit different, but I liked it. The story really moves along and the POV follows the action. And there is plenty of action. We get to see plenty of Dixie, and she is a riot. We get some fun new characters as well. At the end, you will be screaming for the next book. Read this if you like action, fantasy, sci-fi, magic, super powers, mythology, or any combination of those.

My Rating: *****
*Notes: Some profanity, but significantly less than the first book. Not overly graphic.
