Book Review - The Searcher by Ray Dacolias

The Searcher

It is a long time since I picked up a book and gone wow after the first couple of pages, but this book made me do exactly that.
The authors descriptive writing of both the characters and their surroundings draw the reader in and you actually envisage yourself being there alongside them.
You follow our hero on a trail of excitement and dogged determination in his quest.  After being haunted by the killing if his family our hero begins a life of homelessness and wandering.  When the man who is responsible of the killing of the heroes family robs the local bank and kidnaps a young girl our hero sets off to find and return the girl.

The writer will touch the hearts of every parent and release their worst nightmare their child being snatched and taken by a stranger.

The methods and survival techniques used by Joaquim (our hero) in tracking the kidnappers is expertly described and the emotions he is feeling make you believe you are travelling alongside him .

The writer also spends a lot of time on the villain of the piece and you get a feeling and the understanding of his motives, which makes you want him to be caught and receive justice.

The reason that I really love this book is the authors use of language and descriptive terms which enhance the characters bringing each and everyone of them to life .This author has a unique style of writing which will appeal greatly to any reader and I strongly recommend him.

This book carries a really strong message of hope and faith when you believe you have nothing left to live for.   Something comes along which shows that God made you for a reason and you have to survive to find your true path and learn to live again.

Read our book review on Swallowtail which is now one of my all time top three favourite books

'The soft, delicate and imaginative way Sheri Meshal describes certain things in the book is truly beautiful.'

"Amazing amazing amazing! This is why I read! Books like swallowtail is what reading is about! This is a book that can make you sob out loud as you are reading and make you think deeply about life, death, and the ones you love. While reading this book, I was moved so deeply that I actually put it down and just held my husband. So much if this story spoke to me. the relationships she had with her grandmother, her husband, and her 2 daughters just touched my heart and really hit home. The author didn't just write this book she weaved the words together into something more. It's been a long time since I've read something so profound that it made me change the way I think about life. Swallowtail is now on my absolute favorite read list. This book will make you stop and appreciate the ones you love. I don't just give it 5 stars, I give it 100 stars!!! I'm recommending this book to every single person I know"

Asher St Paul thought it was just a typical zombie apocalypse like in the movies, until the necromancers crawled out of the woodwork. Since the undead have chased the living into hiding, the necromancers are able to roam freely in a new America of their making. Asher is seeking safe harbor. The need for safety is what drove him from his home in Philadelphia Pennsylvania before it was shelled. He has searched from quarantine to quarantine, always finding them overrun with zombies until he hears of The Refuge, a military compound in Binghamton New York.

With his family and lover lain to rest by his own hand, he has nothing left to lose and gives everything he has to reach the safe haven. But questions arise when he reaches The Refuge, mainly, how has he been able to sustain multiple zombie bites and not change? He thinks he has found safety in the military compound turned quarantine, but he was wrong. Even now there is a necromancer trying to make The Refuge their kingdom of the dead.

“Swallowtail” by Sheri Meshal {Book Review}

http://coziecorner.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/swallowtail-by-sheri-mesh...

Wow,
I was totally impressed with this book! Sheri pens “Swallowtail” that
starts out like a mystery but then, hang one because the real plot comes
to life. A truly heartwarming story about love and the afterlife.
Between the twists, turns, then coming to a full circle in the story
line, I had a very hard time putting this book down. I was truly impress
with how believable, relate-able, full of life, and well developed her
characters were. This is one book that will tug on your heart strings
and I highly recommend it to all readers.


I give “Swallowtail” a 5 star rating.
