A little over a year ago, the two added reviewing books to their repertoire,
and since they will be presenting an award for their favorite book later this
summer, they wanted to share a few of those reviews.
So, without further delay or fanfare, we'd like to present the wacky
and zany outlook of Tattle and Wyre!
FROM THE DESK OF
DONA PENZA TATTLE, ESQ.
AND
ASSOCIATE WRYE BALDERDASH
Greetings,
Tattle looked exhausted as she leaned back in the office chair, totally
disheveled after spending the night in the office in front of the over-sized
computer screen. "Wow!"
Spinning about in his office chair, Wrye pointed to the computer
screen, having been part of the Love of Literature Leap night long read-a-thon.
“That was a fantastic leap right into the depths of goose bumps and
gasps."
“We certainly were lucky to have picked Cathy Coburn's suspense
thriller WHEN THE DAM BREAKS as our first ever review on CBG’s blog.”
"Ready to share?"
"You bet!"
They settled on either side of a table laden with sweet edibles, tea
and coffee.
Wrye took a mouthful of well-creamed coffee. “Did you notice as the story unfolded we felt part of Kelly Martin's plight, an abused wife married to not just a serial killer but a police detective assigned to the killer's case.”
Tattle shivered. “Down right
creeeeepy! Bob Martin is protected by
his sterling reputation amongst his peers as well as his church, all who believe
him an upright, kind, caring man, whereas Kelly believes all see her as a
dowdy, mostly invisible wife.”
Wrye continued, “We followed Kelly into a spiraling darkness,
empathizing with her against our own will, wanting her to speak out against her
husband, yet understanding her fear of not being believed.”
“The loss of her beloved father at a young age, the separation from her
arrogant mother and sister along with a magnetic yet envious relationship with
her sultry cousin, Lisa, added to the turmoil of her battered life.” Tattle sipped at her tea, nodding as if in
agreement with herself. “Not unlike a
tornado, these relationships tear at her psyche, leaving gashes in her emotional
stability as they destroy her filters, causing tumultuous reactions to various
events, further unhinging her self-worth and solidity.”
“Yet, dadadadaaaa,” Wrye said with a crooked grin. “All is not what it seems, and the black pit
of Kelly’s world is about to explode!”
“Dare we say more?”
“We dare not except about the author.
Cathy Coburn’s writing style is much like that of a hypnotist. We simply couldn’t look away.” Biting into an éclair, he added, “We were
drawn further and further into the plot, twirled about in the same vortex of the
character's irrationality, driven to turn the page and to read faster and
faster. She hooked us on page one, and
we barely breathed until the last page had been read. Even after we finished, we felt haunted by
the prose and the characters.”
“Cathy’s work is brilliant and imaginative. Can’t wait to see more from this talented
author. If you want to read a thriller
that takes you to the cliff’s edge and shoves you over for the literary rush of
your life, then read Cathy Coburn's WHEN THE DAM BREAKS.
Hope you enjoyed our review.
