Critical Moments

by Andrew Harding

reviewed by Reed James

 

critical moments book 2Alli and Harvey are back for my crime fighting action with their hybrid powers. Both were attacked by vampires while children and now are half-human, with many abilities granted from them. Now married, the pair have to investigate a large group of bodies found in a building being torn down. All are men that have had their genitals surgically removed and then embalmed while alive. The bodies date back twenty-five years. A sick serial killer is on the hunt.

The hunt is on and newer bodies are found. A lot more. Whomever the serial killer is, he seems to have accelerated this killings in the last few months, out of control with his need to give men gender reassignments, and Harvey and Alli suspect at least one hybrid, and possibly more, are responsible for the number of victims that are piling up.

Luckily for Alli and Harvey they meet a new pair of hybrids—Gina and Ollie. Gina is a young woman with a mysterious past she cannot remember, and her boyfriend Ollie has been recently turned into hybrid, possibly by the very killers Alli and Harvey are looking for. The Hybrid family grows as they hunt the serial killer. But dark secrets are learned and it seems the government may have been doing more than just keeping track of hybrids.

They may be creating them.

Now for the sex. It’s hot, graphic, S&M sex like last time. Alli and Harvey aren’t fully human, and they make full use of that. The sex is kinky, and there are new Hybrids tasting out what fun they can have with their lovers. Andrew Harding managed to find more, bizarre S&M acts for the loving Alli and Harvey to inflict on each other.

Andrew opened up the world with this one, introducing shady government agendas that may come in conflict with the Hybrid family in the upcoming volumes, ratcheting up the tension as the book progresses. I give ‘Critical Moments’ 4.5 of 5 stars! At $3.99 it will transform your eReader into a bondage-loving hybrid!

Review: ‘Split Decisions’

Split Decisions

by Andrew Harding

reviewed by Reed James

 

split decisionhigh res.jpgAlli is a quiet, almost fragile, author suffering from blackouts and a trauma from her childhood that makes it hard for her to relate to people, including her boyfriend. On the day her boyfriend’s accidental death, she meets Harvey, a police detective that seems to understand just what she is—a hybrid.

Alli, like Harvey, was attacked by a vampire as a child, but not turned, leaving her in a quasi-state with some of the vampires gifts, and Alli is quickly fearing just what she’s doing during her blackouts—feeding on people. As she deals with the death of her boyfriend and the exploration of her powers, she finds a new life and someone who understands everything she is experiencing, like seeing the dead.

Drawn by their similar abilities, Alli and Harvey fall in love as she comes out of her shell, supported by the patient Harvey. As a serial killer strikes their town in England, Harvey enlists Alli’s unique gifts to help the police track down the monster killing and dismembering children and their families. And looming over Alli’s newfound life is the dread that she’ll learn just what she does during her blackouts and it will take away her newfound happiness.

Split Decision is a slow burn. It spends a lot of time introducing you to the world, maybe a little too much time, before it really gets into the meat of the story, but the characters of Alli and Harvey are so sweet together that it pulls you through the setup. The writings great, though it is quite heavy on the British slang, so be prepared to Google. I had never heard the term ‘off license’ before and was utterly baffled by the sentence until a looked it up. Since the story is told in first person from almost entirely by Alli, that only helps to get into the character’s head.

Now for the sex. It’s hot, graphic, S&M sex. Alli and Harvey aren’t fully human, and they make full use of that in the kinky sex that get into. Rubber play, body modifications, extended bondage sessions, and lots of vibrators, dildos, and butt plugs. Alli and Harvey take a very loving delight in taking each other to the edge of sex.

I’m looking forward to where the Hybrids series is going next. I give ‘Split Decisions’ 4.5 of 5 stars! At $0.99, for a 362 page novel, you are getting a bargain!
