Review: SEVEN CLEOPATRA HILL by Justin Holley


12 Stars!

12 Stars!!

Fascinating! First I've read from this author. I enjoyed the plotting, the creative premise, the interweaving of history (Native American), the characterizations.  I liked the gentle,  subtle,  handling of the LGBT subplot. I admired how several of the characters demonstrated moral integrity, courage,  devotion.  This was a plot in which there was much opportunity to "make the right choices" or to fail miserably,  many points along the plot line when characters had to be stand-up and righteous,  or succumb to fear, despair, or even evil. My only objections [other than the recurrent obscenity, which actually was understandable in terms of one of the several subplots,  a version of demonic Tourette's] was a crying need for proofreading for spelling errors [especially "vile" for "vial": there's a plethora of "vile" situations and entities,  but  the container is "vial."]
