The Dying Butterfly: He was my everything. We thought we had all the time in the world, but we were wrong...: 1

I really enjoyed this captivating story. Kept me engaged to the very end of the book. Can't wait to see what happens next for Holly and Tony and the rest of the characters.

Loved the book , brilliant characters and a different story to normal zombies, if you can call zombies normal , the deranged we’re definitely different plus the immune never saw that coming anyway excellent book great writing definitely recommend it

I finished The Dying Butterfly a few days ago. I didn't rush it . I took my time and read it over a 2 week period. I like to savour and reflect on what I read. These days , since I only work part time, I read for pleasure more often and I've also enjoyed trying new things too. This is the first doomsday theme novel I have read and it's not a genre that I would normally be attracted to. Therefore it's a huge tribute to your writing style that you held my attention to the very last page. You should be proud of your accomplishment. Many people talk about writing a novel but few actually follow through and do it. The fact that you did it while working full time as well as handling the usual home and family responsibilities should make it an even more satisfying accomplishment. The novel was well paced. I thought your description of action scenes was especially good. You did a great job of maintaining suspense throughout. Your climax was well constructed. Not all novels make the reader think. The Dying Butterfly makes it impossible for the reader not to think. I thought that page 262 was a key point in the novel. I agree that the line between "need" and "want" has become blurred. This statement about today's human condition separates your novel from many other action books. You have created a great talking point on page 262. It's all about our values and what really matters to each of us. You have subtly forced the reader to consider where they stand on "need" and "want". Your novel's ending leaves the door open for you if you wish to create future novels about Holly Wood and how she deals with her latest challenges. A person's life experiences shape them. Your novel is better now than it would have been if you had written it 20 years ago. You've had many more life experiences. Bill Anderson

This book really drew me in, and I absolutely loved reading it. In fact, I stayed up all night turning the pages. I just couldn’t put it down!

Very descriptive. Sets a good pace. The ending left opportunity for continuation of the story. Excellent writing for a first time author. I look forward to the next book.V. Hamilton.
