Long Lost Song

The first review: Finished reading Long Lost Song this morning.. I loved the two storylines that ended up bleeding into each other. The whole end times scenario was brilliant, but the idea of a song infecting people just blew me away. Very scarily possible.
Great book, found it hard to put down once I was into it!!  Congratulations Stephen! I look forward to the next one! 🙂

Rating:  4 out of 5 stars

Review Two: Long lost song brings a fresh perspective on the widely used ‘world’s existence endangered’ plot.
Stephen has used some subtle, and not so subtle references to his surroundings and the people in them at the time of writing the
book.
Fresh and innovative, the book captured my attention from start to finish. The narrative going back and forth between past and present tense is a great way to keep readers aware of the links between Ricky Jensen’s story and Michael Decker’s part in the story so many years later.
Stephen has clearly done alot of research which is obvious in his many references to biblical passages thoughout the whole book. The biblical theme is constantly present, though not so much that it is overwhelming, just enough to be pleasant!
Overall a very enjoyable read and I highly reccommend Long Lost Song to any reader, good luck to Stephen on his newfound journey in becoming a published author 🙂

Review 3:  At first I thought this book was for the young adult reader but it wasn’t long before I found myself, a senior, really getting into it. In fact it got to where I couldn’t put it down until I’d made it right to the end. And what an ending, it blows you away. Well done Stephen, be it urban fantasy or speculative fiction, your book is a really good read. Thanks.

The summary:

A virus is decimating America today and Michael Decker is the culprit.  Or is he?

Is it the work of a curse recorded into a song by 1930’s blues musician Ricky Jensen?

Long Lost Song tells the story of Ricky and Michael as they battle their personal and real demons while the world reaches end times of biblical proportions.

One question remains. How do you stop a devil of a song made to break a crossroads deal?
