Monster Mystery

A Review by MattSsabra Onih and Jack Colvin are the two main characters. Ssabra is a tour guide in St. Augustine who gives tours of graveyards and historic buildings. Jack Colvin is a detective living in the same town. Around the time that Jack finds a mysterious murder, SSabra begins hearing a ghost speaking to her. The ghost is giving her clues as to what is killing people, and how she must get assistance and stop it. This book as to be one of my favorites of all time. The ending of it is a bit pornographic and disturbing, but I believe it was necessary to describe how horrific the monster truly was. The dialogue was very well done, making the characters very true to their heritage. While how she spoke didn't show it, it was mentioned several times that Ssabra had a Native American lit to her voice, which I found an interesting detail to include. Jack Colvin and Ssabra were very well developed, and while some details and characters were not very well developed, since they didn't tend to live long, they truly didn't need to be. The book gave a brief view into their life and goings on, and then something happened to them, and there wasn't much more to say about them, as the author's goal was to get you to feel for the characters who died, not love them. This book has a very interesting plot, and exciting mystery. While some of it is a bit horrific and pornographic, it is still a book worth reading. I believe that mo matter what your interest, sci-fi or romance, you will enjoy this book, as it has beautiful details of the city, an intense mystery, and some very odd romance.

Excellent!

Mr.Goingback's books have been anything but boring! This new book of his is entertaining and a good read. It was a page turner and I would recommend this book and all of his other books to readers who want a good scare!

Ok! This is not Mr. Goingback's best book. But it is still a cut above the average horror novel. This book is a little different in the fact he tries his hand at a little humor in the ghost or spirit of Tolomato. I know this has all been done before, but it is still a good novel. Mr. Goingback deserves a large following.

Best of BREED

I have read all of Goingback's novels - loved them - but this is definitely the best. His characters, Ssabra and the ghost, Tolomato, are simply delightful. For those of you who like a woman with an attitude, Ssabra is the broad. In a way, very much like the Anita Blake character in the early Hamilton books, but even fresher. It's a great story and deserves to be a best seller.
