Title: Time Keepers – Running Blind part one and The Beast Within part two
Author: Nicki J Markus
Review: This is a short work, there’re each about 10 pages long. It reads very fast and flows well. The story starts out strong and keeps you interested. I would have liked it to have been in longer segments. I felt cheated when I only got ten pages, I barely had time to get excited about the story and characters before it was over. But, don’t let this discourage you, I enjoyed the two segments and look forward to the next one to see what happens to Nick and Ash.
It’s paced well and the two segments ended with you hanging wanting to know what the heck is going to happen. I would love to see this released all together once it is all out. I think the author has an interesting story that will keep you reading, I hope the rest are as grabbing as the first two are. This is set in the future at a time that the world is aware of paranormal creatures, but just a bit wary of them still.
Thank you Nicki for allowing me this opportunity and I wish you luck in the future with your writing. As with all my reviews I do not know the author personally nor did I receive any compensation for my time and review.
