Blurb: After being incarcerated at a prison that leans over the edge of the world, Fayt must do whatever it takes to escape (or simply survive) the horrors that await him. You will take control of Fayt and guide him on his path, but be careful, for not everyone posing as an ally will lead you down the road to freedom.
Note: This is an interactive story, and it is important that you keep a record of your choices close by.
Review: I have read one interactive story many years ago but I have to say this one is much better. You make Fayt’s, a half human/ half elf, decisions for him as instructed throughout the story. The prison is a dismal place that fills you with dread at every turn. The Warden is a dreadful man full of malice and evil at every turn. The atmosphere is spooky and dangerous as our MC tries to keep a low profile.
Though I was a little disturbed by the non-con I still enjoyed the story and where it took me. I will be reading it again and choosing different options to see where else the story ends besides the one I chose.
Fantastic read and highly recommended but I will warn you there are scenes of non-con depending on your choices.

Blurb: It was only a week ago that William packed his bags for Oxford when a letter appeared in front of him in a blaze of purple fire before slowly descending like a feather riding the wind. He had plans to work in politics, to make the world a better place, to put all those top grades from high school to good use but none of that mattered to him anymore. William told everyone that he was off to Harvard instead, knowing that his British parents wouldn’t make the journey to visit him, and he headed for the portal disclosed to him in the letter.
Magic was real and William had a chance to spend the next three years studying it. He couldn’t let that opportunity pass him by, even if it meant giving up on what was surely a carved out future for the overachieving eighteen-year-old.
His fingers clutched the crumpled letter in his pocket as he began to tug, fighting the tightness of his jacket to free himself so that he could see which hall he belonged to. He yanked so hard that his hand flew back, ricocheting outwards until it met the person next to him.
“Sorry!” He called out in a panic, turning to apologize so fast that his glasses flung from his face and vanished into the crowd. “Dammit!” He added in a hiss of frustration, quickly tucking his wavy brown hair back behind his ears before it sprung free.
He was hardly the most graceful eighteen-year-old to have ever existed, nor did he do well in large groups that rushed around him. William preferred the quiet life, often opting for a cup of tea as he tucked himself into a blanket with his favorite book spread across his palm. He thought that Warlock Academy would be full of intellects like himself who would rather ingest wisdom than booze.
Review: T.C. Orton is a new author for me and I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I don’t really care for new authors or their work because I have a certain taste in books and most of the authors that I have come across can’t hit it. However when I find an author that can, they become a regular in my library. Now this author fascinates me and intrigues me quite a bit.
The world that has been created in this story is an interesting and new world for me to unlock. Although I do have to say that the ending sucked. It also felt like I was thrown into the middle of a story at the beginning.
William has landed himself in a pretty amazing if not magical school. He has been given the chance to learn more about magic and his powers. He sure did let everyone know he was there, even if it was by accident. It did however set the tone for the story. There are a lot of mixed characters in this that you will either love or hate. I am still trying to figure Jake out, is he evil or is he just lost. He comes off as an ass, as does Logan. However Logan seems to be there for William more than the others. Then there is Sebastian who is just a man whore that sleeps his way through it all, but then again he does have some strong powers also.
Now this story was told a bit different and the writing style was not the best, however it didn’t really take away from the story for me. You definitely did know what each character was feeling in this book. It was a new one for me, but I am not really sure if I actually enjoyed it or not. I do wish that the author had put if this was a series or not on the cover but I take it from the notes that it is the first book.
It was an entertaining tale and I look forward to seeing what other stories this author has out.

Seeing Red
by
T.C. Orton
Down the twists and turns of the London alleyways, where Chinatown meets the highstreets, lies a small venue where unknown rock bands often play to crowds of less than one-hundred.
Isaac is nineteen, living on the sofa of his best friend’s brother – Eric – after his bible-loving parents tossed him aside because of his sexuality. After two years of struggling to make sense of his life, Eric and Charlotte convince Isaac to attend Red’s gig; an up and coming rock band with a small cult following.
All hell breaks loose and Isaac is left injured, with the whereabouts of his friends unknown and his body crippled on the ground. It’s then that the four members – Troy, Nicolai, Kyle and Moss – aid Isaac by infecting him with a ‘magical’ virus that grants immortality in exchange for consuming blood.
The ‘Paranorm’ world is exposed to Isaac. Vampires, werewolves and warlocks lurk in the depths of the city he has lived in his entire life, but he won’t become one with the night until he completes his nine-month transition, leaving him in the hands of the band and at the mercy of vampire politics.
