The devil and Dayna Dalton is a all encompassing Title choice. It is fitting and the Cover image is equally fitting and intriguing.
This an often too real-to-life scenario of many places, especially in small towns. If a person is from "bad blood" or does not "fit in" with the rest of the town's people, often it is nearly impossible for an individual to change that image in the town's perception.
This is the case with Dayna Dalton. No matter what she has accomplished, she is still "branded" by most of he town's citizens. One individual was different. He was always kind and never made he feel she was less than anyone else. She has always loved him. If only she can make him see her, and feel about her, as she does him. She can never give up!
Many things have changed in the past few years in this peculiar town of Bulwark. Many really weird things have taken place, also.
Dayna is a hard worker and a great reporter. She has made some huge mistakes but one of the is not a "marriage wrecker". Still, she was close to the borderline with the handsome Clay Finnes. If she can't have him, then what is to become of her? Little does she know what is soon to be "thrown" in her path....
She must make a choice, and neither choice seems like a good option.
This was an intriguing, somewhat heart-wrenching tale in the Bulwark series.
There are a couple of intimate and slightly explicit scenes and some crude terms and language, but it is a well-written drama. It stirred some unpleasant memories of life in a small town I once experienced. judgement of others can be so damaging to individuals and is something not easily undone.
The story had an unsettled "cliff-hanger" I feel was not complete enough as a good lead into the next part of the series. It left too much to be decided.
* This book was gifted me with no pressure for a positive review. This is my honest review.… (más)

Bulwark, Georgia is a small town that usually does not see much trouble. Clay Finnes is the sheriff in town. He is still recovering from a separation with his wife Jenna after the disappearance of their child, Claire. Now, Clay is dealing with a strange accident on the outskirts of Bulwark. A car has sunk in a pond that seemed to appear in the middle of the road. The older couple who were in the car are shaken and keep on insisting that Clay check out the Gingerbread House on Linden Lane, they say their children were taken there. On top of that, Clay keeps getting calls for wolf sightings and a strange death from two puncture holes to the neck. As Clay investigates these claims, he finds Bulwark's strange hidden history and what it has to do with him.
Bulwark is a paranormal horror that introduces a town with many secrets. From the sudden appearance of the weird puddle, I knew I was hooked. I loved the retelling of the Hansel and Gretel fairy tale in an even more horrifying way. Clay's character is straightforward, but has a lot of personal issues he is dealing with, because of this I think he is a little more willing to believe in the extraordinary. The mystery surrounding the Bavmorda Gingerbread House was intriguing. I do wish there was some deeper description of the house to really understand what it looked like. The intensity amplifies as Clay finds out just what the citizens of Bulwark have hidden for the past fifty years and it affects him greatly. I do wish there would have been more reveal for the how and why of the Bavmorda Gingerbread house and the cycle it brings, maybe something from the point of view from Clay's assistant Dolly or Bavmorda herself. The ending is a whirlwind of activity with a big twist. There are also two endings that the reader can choose from, one that ties everything up in a neat bow, and one that compounds the horror of the previous events and opens up many more mysterious. Overall, Bulwark is a fast paced paranormal horror that leaves you wanting more.

At only 128 pages it was a 2 hour read for me. At first the title wasn't consistent with the book. I thought the book was going to be about a newsreporter and the bad mother she had and her inconsistent love life and her love for the sheriff she went to school with. I was wrong. It ended up to be sort of a dark fantasy with a cloak, and the devil, and Hades etc. It was confusing at the end and I still don't get it but that might just be me… (más)
