A Review of The Mound



The Mound is an exciting tale about the renovation of an old hotel, which holds many secrets. This haunting story draws you in to each dark corridor, as the spooky building literally comes alive. There were times during my read I found myself holding my breath, fearful of what might jump out around the next corner.


The Hudsons’ have a stimulating writing style, full of thrilling energy and cleverly spun history. Though there were times I found I needed a dictionary for a few of the words, this is only a reflection of my own limited education. This book is brilliantly constructed for those who love a fast paced, chilling story, with exhilarating action.


The Mound has it all, engaging characters, goose bumps, a battle scene and the satisfying sigh that comes at the end of a long journey. The high intensity of this story was impossible to walk away from and when the voyage was over, just like a few of the main characters, I felt changed somehow; victorious and extraordinarily invigorated.

Comments: Sherilyn Powell debuts well with this winning tale of a smart woman who suddenly finds her self challenged and feeling anything but smart as two men pull on her heart strings. Strong characters and vibrant emotional scenes bring the story to life. The main character is fiesty and strong figure who is soon waging an inner struggle as she is torn between desire and love. A must read for romance lovers and readers looking for strong, yet compassionate female characters. Highly recommeded for library romance and general fiction collections.
