Hollywood Haze by Axl Blaze

Yup,  read the second book. Well, my second but 4rth one in the series.... The writing style is still a little fuzzy on details and vocabulary, but the reading is fun, so I'll keep going :-)

Another closed case for FBI team Ava and Harry. The two investigators seem a little lost at times, with clues and places seemingly popping up out of nowhere, but even so, the story is interesting.

Milfield Murdes by Axl Blaze

I found this writer thru Story Origin. It looked interesting, and different from what I normally read, so I gave it a try. And, even though you may think different when reading the review, I DID enjoy it, and, as indicated in the review, I will read the rest of the series, as well. So, without further interfering with your curiosity.....

The storyline is good, the characters interesting, but the execution is somehow a bit off. Besides the fact that clues in the beginning of the story somehow foresee the direction of the investigation threequarters thru, is only one of the inconsistencies. The story weaves around interesting theories but ends up with a suspect that should have been picked up on in the beginning, and there are several spots where the same scene is worded different, right after eachother. It's a shame, really, because I really liked the premise, however,it's the first book in a series, and I'm going to give the others a try, assuming this is just growing pains of starting a new character with new challenges and the author is still finetuning the narrative.
