Review: Unique Elf book
Rating: 3 out of 5

Let me start by saying that this book is for people who love very descriptive writers, and the writing was very advanced. I didn't even know there was a glossary until after the last page. I am also not a tree hugger, so with that out of the way.Shannon Hunter is part of an Eco- terrorist group called ELF. One night her and the group try to set off a few incendiary devices and are easily apprehended by the FBI. Before she can get carted off to jail a figure appears on a hill and shoots an arrow into the devices and the whole place explodes. The figure then tries to kill Shannon and the two agents but misses. Later at the hospital the assassin appears again with orders to kill her. She stops him with a word, and then his orders change. He takes her into the veil instead. The synopsis on this book is very good and stays true to form. The book was written really well, and the only thing I found in my bias is that is was wordy. The author is so painfully descriptive that it almost takes away from the story. Character development was a problem for me too because Shannon was always changing. We knew she was something other but it took forever to come out. I feel you lose people when it becomes such a mystery. My favorite scene, is when she heals the Mother Tree and is gifted with white leaves. My worst is the descriptiveness of the author when he is wording that humans rape Mother Earth. I prefer to think of it as a rebirth. The storyline flowed, and this story is definitely in a unique category. I've read quite a bit, but nothing comes to mind as equal to this. Overall entertainment value.... I gave it three stars.~Wicked Reads Review Team~
