Spell Checked Logic Book 1 eBook CG Powell

I really enjoyed the premise of this book, and the unique view of witches, vampires, and aliens. I found myself turning the pages to see what happened next. How would the Beck, Mae, Helen triangle work? How could Mae bond with Beck if she were a witch? As some questions were answered more problems or puzzles presented themselves, which kept me hooked.

I liked the characters, yet had a problem with the ease in which the secondary characters viewed their sexual relations with one of the characters. But that is my views, and I just couldn’t understand how there was no signs of jealousy. But then Mae didn’t either, so I guess I wasn’t alone.

I wasn’t a fan of the writing style at times. The way the two main characters would think “their thoughts”. It just threw me off. But not enough to keep me from enjoying the book. I also had no sense of being in Ireland. If the characters had not mentioned it a few time, I would have guess the English countryside, or America. But that is me, and sometimes I tend to nitpick.

Overall it was a fun, interesting read, and I would recommend it to others. I know I will be reading more of the books in this series to find out what happens next.

Spell Checked, Book 1 of the No Uncertain Logic Series by C.G. Powell

A trip to Ireland undertaken by two "best female friends" Gemma and Mae who are suddenly joined on the airplane by a handsome, charming, sophisticated Irishman named Aiden with charisma that attracts both of them is the beginning of this paranormal romance story.

Upon landing, they agree to meet for dinner in Dublin, and he brings a friend, Beck, to the table. The foursome's delightful dinner is suddenly interrupted when the man called Beck is suddenly called away.

As the story unfolds it begins to involve Greek mythology, ancient history, and warlocks, vampires and witches. Science fiction enters the story line when the history of witches and vampires is told to Mae and Gemma. Having always been interested in the paranormal, they accept the stories and the realization that one of them is, in fact, a witch.

I will leave it to you to read the story, to learn who is what and to whom each one 'belongs.' The story does have some editorial issues that might be cleared up with another thorough proofreading. But those issues do not detract from the overall plot line.

This is not a book I would recommend to readers younger than 18, for there is a fair amount of physical intimacy in the story. But college and adult readers will no doubt be intrigued with the history and characterization of such figures as Helen of Troy being depicted as a reincarnation through the ages ... this time being hosted by a witch rather than a vampire's mate.

I'll give this one four stars.
I got this book for free and I am grateful. It reads like a Harlequin romance written in the 70s and has the vocabulary and sentence structure of the 6th grade reading level. There is no plot. One thing happens, then another thing happens, then a final thing happens. I don't think anyone ever told her that there needs to be a problem to overcome in order for it to be a real story. I am at 53% and it is obvious that it's not going to get any better. It's not horrible, so I will finish it, but it is terribly unsatisfying.

There are witches in this world. And vampires. Surprisingly, neither the heroine nor her best friend have any problems with this news. They don't doubt their ears, believe they are being played for fools, or doubt the sanity of the person delivering the news. This "acceptance" is a running thread throughout the book. Oddities keep popping up, but no one really seems to be bothered by it all. Surely this many people can't be brain dead? Perhaps this is just her heavy-handed method of foreshadowing.

One of the problems I have with her writing style is that she uses quotes to indicate when someone is thinking instead of italics. Thus, it is often hard to figure out what is going on until you are at the bottom of the paragraph. Additionally, while she did some research on computer technology, she would have done far better to have recorded IT guys in their natural habitat. None of it sounded plausible.

I'm giving it two stars because it is an actual book, that follows a formulaic pattern set out by a well known publisher. It's a simplistic, easy read for someone who wants a little romance but isn't keen on today's style of overly descriptive love scenes.
Before I jump into a tangent of ridicule, I'll say some good stuff. I think the story itself was pretty good, along with the historical backgrounds laced into fairy and vampire history, and there was so much potential there for a good story and great series.

That being said, potential is not enough.

I really felt no emotional involvement for the characters. I found them all superficial at best.

There were so many inconsistencies I drove myself crazy trying to guess what would happen next and being let down when things were forgotten.
Like in the beginning Aidan had feelings for Mae, leading me to believe in a really cliche love triangle. Instead it was never mentioned again as the story moved one.
Vampires and Fairies aren't able to have children unless it's with a human. Why isn't anyone interested in how both races were able to reproduce with each other? Twice! First with Mae, and them Mae and Beck's future children? While it was mentioned that it had never happened before, you think there would have been more medical tests and explanations for the characters and the readers. Instead it was quickly forgotten.

Last, I noted at least 16 mistakes in writing and technical errors. All blaring and frustrating enough I'm surprised I read it to the end. As a writer, and OCD about grammar, punctuation and word usage, how could this be pushed through to publish? My favorite being the mistake of irradiated and radiating.

So if you like simple, poor writing, caddy, superficial characters, and laced with magical fun and potential, I'm sure this is the book for you.
