Not worth the money,
By "wayzygoose" (northern NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Harm None (Mass Market Paperback)
When a woman is murdered in what looks to be a satanic ritual, Detective Ben Storm turns to his one friend that may have a clue as to what is going on: Rowan Gant, a practicing Wiccan and an expert on witchcraft. After looking over the details of the case, Gant quickly realizes that this ritual was not done by a Satanist, but by a fellow Wiccan because parts of the ritual that were used were common Wiccan rituals. However, the rest of the ritual contains Black Magic and Gant fears that this murder may actually just be a practice run for the killer. Disturbed by this fact, especially since the law governing Wiccans is "Harm None," Gant firmly plants himself by Storm's side to help find this killer and prevent further murders.In the introduction to the book, Sellars states that since this book is in the first person view and since nobody is grammatically correct in the way they think, he had a lot of spelling errors and grammatical errors intentionally placed in the book. Personally, I think that's a load of bull and his editors should have fought against him on this point. The book has an interesting story line but the author just isn't a good writer. There was way too much dialog and a lot of scenes were described in such detail that really wasn't needed. All of this distracted me away from the story line. I might take a chance and try his second book, praying that his experience will help him be a better writer, because he did have a good idea. Would I recommend this book? Nope. There are a lot of books out there that are just so much better.

This review is from: Harm None (Mass Market Paperback)
I was surprised to see so many negative, or on the negative side reviews of this book. I loved almost every page and have ordered all of the rest of Mr. Sellars' books as well.I love police procedurals ala Patricia Cornwell and I love books with a touch of the supernatural ala the Jim Butcher series. Being able to combine the two just proved to be a delight. Okay so the book could have used some editing but I still loved every minute of it. I just finished this one and am half way through the second book in the series. I intend to read them all and dont intend to quibble over small flaws. I found the writing to be tight, the characters to be likeable and not much wasted time. Mr Sellars is a good representative of his religion/craft and I found myself asking how likely any of these skills are. But in the end didnt care as I was in it for the ride. And quite a ride it was. Am enjoying digging into the next book in the series and am only happy there are still two more to go after that.

Harm none - A Rowen Gran Investigation,
By A Customer
This review is from: Harm None (Mass Market Paperback)
I cannot believe someone gave this book five stars. Based on the high reviews I ordered the series, but the smug self-importance of the main character made the book nearly unreadable. To top it off the mystery/investigation element was poorly ploted. After slogging through the first book I quickly consigned the rest to the library.The writer is not without skill. He just needs to get off his high horse and come up with a semi-feasable plot!
