Onyx Webb: Book One: Episodes 1, 2 & 3 by Richard Fenton, Andrea Waltz
4.0
Initially I was a bit lost as to what to write in my review. This story was unlike any I have read before. This is book 1 of a series that will be told over a course of nine books consisting of three episodes each. The episodes are not self-contained; as such to understand the course of events they must be read in order. Embedded in each episode are twists, turns and surprises that will compel you to keep turning the pages as you are eager to uncover the mysteries of Onyx Webb.
When I was asked to review this title I was on the verge of refusing because I felt that this would not be for me. However, when I reached the last sentence of the blurb I was intrigued and I decided right then and there that I would give this book a chance. I am so very glad I did. The story was riveting and difficult to put down.
Onyx Webb is a unique mixture of history, mystery, suspense and the paranormal. The story spans more than one time period and features an eclectic mix of characters. The story moves forward and backward in time. Some readers may find this disconcerting; however the way in which the authors present the shifts between times did not in any way cause confusion.
The story features three main characters from different time periods, the 1900’s, 1970’s and 2000. At first I thought to myself what do these characters and the periods have in common, however as I progressed through the story the connections slowly became clear. The characters were well developed and I was able to connect with each of them.
The authors’ writing style was descriptive which made it easy to see the events through the eyes of each of the characters. The story was well paced and it’s evident that quite amount of research went into preparing this story. The historical events were spot on and it aided in the enhancement of the story.
This installment has whetted my appetite for more. I can’t wait to get my hands on the remaining books as I am eager to know how the story will play out. If you are looking for a story that’s unique and exciting that’s filled with history, suspense, mystery and have a touch of the paranormal then Onyx Webb is just the book for you.
