“Princess Rouran and the Book of the Living is a delightful, complex, and highly entertaining fantasy mixing fiction and historical characters. It's a delightful read, with food for thought, a sometime antiquate jargon, and a cast of well developed and likeable characters, I had fun and was glad to discover such a lovely series. ”

“Princess Rouran and the Dragon Chariot of Ten Thousand Sages by Shawe Ruckus is the first book in the Princess Rouran Adventures series. I appreciate how the author managed to intersect both fantasy and real-life problems in this novel in an accessible way. It was incredibly action-packed and managed to keep my attention the whole time. ”

Reader

“All Body Bags and No Knickers by Shawe Ruckus is a well-written, slow-paced, and engaging read. I truly enjoyed learning about Catherine and Chance's trip since I could so easily envision myself taking my partner on a similar vacation. It helped me unwind and simultaneously piqued my interest with the details of past events that the novel revealed progressively. My initial feelings of calm and mild curiosity were quickly replaced by excitement as several hints began to divulge what had transpired in the past and the identity of the true suspect in this mess. The identity of the villain was only revealed at the end, which is exactly the kind of mystery tale I like to read. ”

Reader

“What I liked the most about Princess Rouran and the Dragon Chariot of 10,000 Sages was the story. At first, I thought this book was another fantasy novel where a child went into a fantasy world with a mythical creature and saved the world. It turns out that this book was anything but. ”

Readers' Favorite

“I absolutely enjoyed The Learning Curve of Pain. At first, I didn’t like the pacing of the story because it was slow; however, as I continued reading, I understood why the author made it so. Because of the book's pacing, I was able to understand the story. You know how you eat food slowly to avoid indigestion? That’s how I felt while reading this book. Even the smallest of characters were well developed, and this was all achieved through the story's pacing.”

Reader

“In All Body Bags and No Knickers, Catherine and Chance are from very different worlds, but their story is a romantic and suspenseful one. A curious build-up culminates in a climactic confrontation of murder, mystery, and bygones. ”

Reader

“"All Body Bags and No Knickers: Mercenaries in Suits Book 3" by Shawe Ruckus is a completely engrossing mystery with a paranormal twist. This well-written, character-driven mystery moves along at a steady pace. The dialogue sparkles and is natural, it's an intricate but easy story to follow and become absorbed in. Ruckus' use of descriptions works very well here, drawing you into the story with details, especially about the travel aspect.”

Reader

“What I liked in this book is that it makes us consider what’s typical and the reasons behind our behavior. It poses questions regarding the factors that truly shape who we are. The book’s strange title, “All Body Bags and No Knickers,” demonstrates the author’s willingness to discuss topics that others might avoid. The tale is a little unusual, but it never feels out of the ordinary. All of the pieces are coherently connected by the author.”

Reader

“I adore this book! I'm not typically a fan of mysteries, particularly murder mysteries, but this book was an incredibly enjoyable and thrilling read. ”
