MY REVIEW

I started the book with a belly laugh…picturing her struggling to get into her skintight bodysuit. The weirdest part is what king of body suit she’s wearing. I figure I can’t go wrong with a beginning like that and I am more curious than ever.

This is a hard review to write, because I don’t want to risk spoiling all the deliciousness inside. We have every kind of magical creature you can imagine.We have vampires and all the supernatural creatures too. Even angels. And…lets not forget the aliens.

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no, it’s a fairy. And that UFO you think you see in the sky? It could very well be fairies making love.

Jack spies a fairy and exposes their secret to the world. It’s a good thing no one believes him and they are determined to reinforce the people’s disbelief.

This story is out of this world and at times funny. The underlying danger is always there and it comes from more than one angle. The magical and supernatural creatures will protect the humans and themselves at all costs. There is too much at stake.

This is one of those books that takes our lackadaisical attitude towards Earth ecology and puts us in jeopardy because of it. There are those who think the only way to save it is to eliminate us.

Mythicals by Dennis Meredith crosses many genres, the paranormal and supernatural, science fiction, fantasy,and  romance. It is a refreshing, captivating, thought provoking tale that gripped me from the beginning and never let me go.

The world building made the scenes come to life in my mind. The characters were fully developed and I am amazed at the depth and detail of their personalities. After all, we are talking about non humans, for the most part. I can’t even pick a favorite, because the peripheral characters were as fun and amazing as the main ones.

The intrigue grows very deep. The amazing concept twisted and turned, giving me surprise after surprise, and I reveled in it. Sadness and laughs, I felt them equally.

All this and I am only 56% into Mythicals by Dennis Meredith.

WHOA! I sure didn’t see that coming! Now everything I was thinking was coming will have to be changed.

I love how ecology plays a role in the story. Florida. Oh my!

I was swept away, engrossed by the treachery, the battles, the loves and the loss, and I would only hope we would treat aliens better than depicted, but….

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Mythicals by Dennis Meredith.

GOODREAD BLURB

They’re real: fairies, pixies, werewolves, ogres! They’re aliens!

Drunken journalist Jack March can’t believe his bleary eyes when he stumbles onto a winged fairy! She vaults away into the night sky, and his unbelievable—and unbelieved—encounter leads to a stunning revelation that all the creatures of myth and legend are real!

Fairies, pixies, trolls, werewolves, ogres, vampires, angels, elves, bigfoot—all are alien exiles to the planet. For their crimes, these “mythicals” are serving out banishment disguised in flesh-suits enabling them to live among the planet’s natives.

Jack reveals their secret to the world, along with a horrendous discovery: they have decided that the native “terminal species” must be eradicated before it ruins its home planet’s ecology.

In this riveting scifi/fairy tale, Jack joins with sympathetic fairies, pixies, and ogres to attempt to save the planet from the mythicals, as well as the mysterious alien cabal known as the Pilgrims.
