Oh wow! What an idea! My friend and I were shopping and we bought a selection of books which included The Fix by David Baldacci. I started reading and discovered that it is book  3. I wanted to know "how it started". So I  bought books 1 and 2 in Kindle ebooks. 4 days later I continued reading the Fix
Couldn't put it down is an understatement! Every free moment my nose was in my Kindle.

What a wonderful concept Mr. Gambone has created and successfully executed.  What's the point of experiencing life's struggles and triumphs and learning valuable lessons if we don't then share them for the benefit of others?!  I enjoyed Ms. Rita O's chapter immensely and applaud all who are involved for sharing their stories.  Opening up and speaking your heart's truth isn't always easy, but it yields great rewards for both the sharer and the recipient.

It's been quite some time since I've been this excited about a book. I couldn't stop telling anyone who cared to listen (and many who probably didn't but did so to be polite) all about the plot and characters.

The storyline is great and the premise (the KidnApp app) are so original and inventive. You get sucked in immediately.

The characters and the situations they find themselves in are relate-able (stuck with a mortgage you can't afford due to a break-up, dealing with the weird post post break-up weirdness, being "stuck" in a job with great benefits and security that's hard to leave, dealing with overbearing, religious parents, having anger issues, having a love interest stolen by a roommate, etc).

I was so disappointed when I realized I'd finished the book. Luckily I hear the next installment is due out this fall!

This is an exciting venture for the authors involved in this new and unique concept.

What excited me was not just the description in the Amazon blurb about this new concept, but how Johnson describes it from his Introduction,

"What about a collective anthology?...An anthology? No one likes anthologies, Besides, this has all been done before.....Not another "common setting, contributing authors" anthology made famous in the speculative fiction genre....but something new. What if, instead of a constant setting with varying characters, the characters were the varying characters, the characters were the anchoring constant while the settings were allowed to flow freely, bound only by the borders of the realm of speculative fiction?
....we need to collect ten to twelve contributing authors....each pitch a unique character with no set restrictions, then have each of the contributing authors write their own unique speculative fiction story involving all ten characters in some way. The result would be like a picture of alternate realities or parallel universes where these same characters had very different lives, experiences, and adventures. The normally unpopular format of an anthology would take on a life of its own as a doorway, which would transport the readers from world to world, from reality to reality, giving them a tour of the multiverse while also providing a tasty showcase for a collection of authors or would-be authors of speculative fiction."

So based on the above, I set out reading this volume, only because it is the first published days, I think, before the current three volumes had been released.

I really enjoyed this first story. This is the first story outside of the Chadash Chronicles trilogy where Johnson has a different writing style and it adds to the versatility of the talent of this author. Despite it being short, 41 pages, it grabbed me and I was instantly transported into this world of the bounty hunter. The main characters of Molon Hawkins and Karyn Littleton are very well cast and developed. Molon has lots of attitude and this adds to liking him as a loveable rogue while Karyn is very competitive and considers herself just as good as any male bounty hunter.

I loved the banter between these two as they sought to hunt down Indalrion Tay. Despite some angst between them at the beginning, they end up working very well together and make quite a team.

In true Johnson form, the world he creates in this short, is well thought out and developed. I loved the description of the Lubanians and the Garwafs and like the Chadash Chronicles, shows Johnson is a master of creating very convincing species and creatures. This helps in forming the basis of this world in this short. I also loved the political and economical landscape of this world being created in the mind of the reader by the account of Indalrion Tay as he describes his reasons for the theft of the weapon from Chronotech Industries.  This had me totally absorbed and due to this, I was frustrated when it ended as I was very content being in this world and I really wanted more of this. It would make for a really great full length novel if this was expanded into this length.

I am very impressed with this unique concept and I look forward to reading the next one, Rewind by Jeremy Bullard, again, only because it was the next one released after this short.

Highly Recommended.

I liked this concept a lot. As a kid who lived in her very own fantasy world, I loved the concept that every kid has their own, unique fantasy world. And the mapping of these is fantastic, the many shades of the compass rose from chaos to order. I enjoyed the subtle points of how kids don't always fit the ideas their parents want them to be. There's a lot of runaway kids out there. Thanks for this vision of where they might go, Seanan. Creepy but wonderful.

Oh my gosh I loved this book!  What a cool idea for a story!!  Couldn't put it down... doing this review I see that Part 3 is out.  Just purchased!

Such an original concept!  It took me a while to grasp what was happening, but once I caught on, I was totally enmeshed.  All four main characters are fascinating and well drawn out.  I had a hard time putting the book down.  Often I finish a book and never think about it again but I find bits and pieces of this one popping up in my mind frequently.  I think I have read just about everything this author has written and he just keeps getting better and better.

Betrayal of Magic honestly started off just a LITTLE bit slow for me. It took me up until Caden was with his school counselor and things started getting "interesting" that I was completely hooked.  The concept is great, storyline is awesome and there are two fight scenes that I would LOVE to see on the "Big Screen".  I can completely see this book, and (even without reading the rest of the books....yet) possibly the entire series being made into a movie.  You can't help but root for Caden and his Knights, and I can't wait to see how the saga continues!  Very well written, flows perfectly, and hard to put down once you get sucked into the world of DOMA.  Five stars all the way!

This is a great concept and really entertaining book.  It's something "new" and very clever.  No recycled jokes or dated punchlines.  Really gifted writing and thinking.  I recommend this to anyone that likes interesting topics, clever humor and overall ingenuity.  Kudos, this is an out of the box concept with a fantastic title!

What a great concept...bringing together the movies of our childhood and applying them to today will be a fun and informative read for sure!

I was a little hesitant to spend a couple hundred dollars on something for my baby (I am a garage saling, thirft shopping kind of mom), but I loved the concept, the reviews were great, looked like a great company and it's going to be in our family for 5 years, so I pulled the trigger. And I'm so glad I did.

Was pretty easy to assemble and boy oh boy did my 14 month old get SO excited. The very first time I sat him on it (I have to put Cros or some shoe with grip so he can push the ground better), he took off like he was a natural! It makes him soooo happy and everyone who sees it is like, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT? And they don't even know it changes into a two-wheeler. I can't wait to watch him grow with it.

I recommend it 100%. And I'm a chicken lover and the fact their logo is a chicken with an egg....they had me!

I thought this was a clever concept, and based on the other reviews, bought a copy for each of my sons.  This was a SERIOUS hit at Christmas.  Even stone-cold sober (I mean, it WAS like 9.00 am) it was hilarious, and engendered a very entertaining discussion just SPECULATING about how some of those exercises would turn out.  As other reviewers have mentioned, I wish there were subsequent volumes!  I'll update my review once I get feedback on how those books worked out.  The "draw-one-when-you're-sober-then-do-it-again-after-you've-been-drinking" idea is extremely creative.

What a fantastic idea for a book! I feel like I'm catching up on a year's worth of reading with this one compilation.  It covers so many subjects, you will feel pretty darn good about yourself by the time you're done. I especially like that you can skip around.  This is a series worth exploring.  I also like the cover -- it reminds me of 70s album cover art.

I loved this book!  While the entire concept it utterly impossible, there was so much that was believable, that by the time I got engrossed in the storyline, it HAD to be true!  Very well written, no grammatical errors (which is not a normal thing , as kindle books go) and no profanity.  It drew me in right away, although I will admit I was wondering what was going on between the first and second chapters!  At first I thought they'd mixed up books, and had chapter one from one book, and chapter two from another!  Keep reading!  It will make sense soon enough, and it's worth the time to read it!
