Why choose Sublime Book Review?

Finding the right reviews for the right budget can be hard for an Indie or self-published author. And in many cases, you unknowingly pay for a review that is 100% guaranteed positive. While it’s nice for a reviewer to tell you your book is “the greatest book ever written,” this doesn’t necessarily help you, the author, and it certainly doesn’t help the industry leaders (librarians, booksellers, media professionals) make calculated decisions about purchasing your book or requesting your title for their library.

R.G. Ziemer crafts his words into a play-like mystery that also delves into the mind-set of growing young people as well as the provincial mindset of a small town. The story is told in vivid images that keep the reader constantly picturing the scenes in the town of Winston. The town of Winston is a snapshot of many of omnipresent beliefs and behaviors, both positive and negative in any form of society. Within the story, the reader encounters town divisions, communal beliefs, and points of pride that has come into being over the history of the town. The town’s history is richly described by the informal town historian, and a driving force in the story, Sharon Rice. Jamie McVay’s ghost offers the always compelling unknown entity that haunts a small town. In combatting the entity, the story starts friendships, emboldens villains, brings out truth and closes the door on deception, revenge against sinners and atonement for the sinners. The book borrows flavors in the storytelling from books like To Kill a Mockingbird, Stephen King’s It, and Peyton Place, which helps it stand up as a book that will satisfy the genre-preference of many readers.

Sublime Line: “The Ghost of Jamie McVay stands as a timely parable for the rippling consequences a single act can bring to lives. The search for atonement, redemption, justice, while fighting unrepentant evil.”
