What a jerk.

He got a NDE and tried to sell it off as religious. 

What a load of crap.

His attitude is arrogant and he is full of shit. 

Don't buy this book and give money to jerk. 

I enjoyed this first book about Alexander the Great, but also I became very anxious about MWT’s Gen because of parallels. Arrghhhhh. Anyway, on its own merits this is immersive & beautiful.

Between Heaven and Hell is the second book  from Astrid’s Freefall series, and having reviewed At Death’s Door I was looking forward to reading it. I was not disappointed. Following on from where the first book left off seamlessly. I think this could be read alone, but I would not recommend it as At Death’s Door lays a lot of the ground work and background that is needed to follow this book. As the character’s remain the same with just one or two additions, all the character development is in the first book.

This offering is a slower pace to that of the first, which isn’t a bad thing really, although I found it a little too slow for me on occasion. I was still able to connect with the characters, especially Sara, as she continues to fight for her family. I certainly felt her fear and panic in places.

With plenty of twists and surprises throughout this is definitely a page turner.

I’d recommend Between Heaven and Hell to anyone who likes a good adventure with a smidge of romance and excitement. Enjoy.

NB I received this book free for an honest review

Alyc Helms fled her doctoral program in anthropology and folklore when she realized she preferred fiction to academic writing. She dabbles in corsetry and costuming, dances at Renaissance and Dickens fairs, gets her dander up about social justice issues, and games in all forms of media. She sometimes refers to her work as “critical theory fanfic,” which is a fancy way to say that she is obsessed with liminality, gender identity, and foxes.

She’s a freelance game writer and a graduate of Clarion West, and her short fiction has appeared in Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Daily Science Fiction, Crossed Genres, to name a few. Her first novel, The Dragons of Heaven, will be published by Angry Robot Books in June 2015.
