5-Star Reviews for FORCED PERSPECTIVE!

August 27, 2022 by admin Leave a Comment

See what readers are saying.

5 STARS – “Forced Perspective” is a very accurate title for this astounding novel of suspense, as everything you think you know and understand is skewed and definitely not from the right perspective. I don’t think I’ve read such an intriguing and unique story in a long time. Right from the start, you’re thrust into Harper’s life of lies, with hidden terrors all around. The setting was fantastic and the ghostly vibe of Savannah, with it’s mist-shrouded streets and ghosts, added just the right touch of otherworldly mystery. This author excels and it’s almost impossible to think that she can get much better, but this book proves that she’s a master of the craft and only continues to improve with each explosive and compelling tale.

5 STARS – The first I’ve read of the author and look forward to more. The characters where well written and the storyline was incredible. The entire book had you wondering who really was the bad guy. Of course, I was surprised in the end which makes the book even better. I love mystery/thriller books and this fit just perfect in that category. Great read!

Fresh Take from Fresh Fiction Blog

April 9, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

I’m so honored to be mentioned among these amazing authors!

Fresh Fiction Blog recently featured my Alcott Manor series along with a bunch of great books by amazing authors.

“In the Alcott Manor series by Alyssa Richards, each of the three books in the series take on a slightly different tone, but the second installment is super scary with a Freddy Krueger-like otherworldly villain. The heroine and her new love battle the ghostly baddie in various dimensions and the stakes are high. The first and third books in the series focus more on traditionally haunted house goodness and lost loves.”

Check out the full post here!

The Haunting of Alcott Manor by Alyssa Richards — REVIEW
 (Genres: gothic romance, fantasy romance, paranormal mystery, mystery romance)
5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Gothic Suspense – Don’t Miss It
ByDTChantelon August 31, 2017
Format: Kindle Edition

“Having read Alyssa Richards other books, I knew I was in for a treat, even though this was a slightly different genre. And gothic suspense being one of my absolute favorites, I was extremely psyched to read this book. Fortunately, everything that I anticipated about how good this book would be, and how much I would enjoy it, came true.

At first glance, this might appear to be your average haunted house story. But in the hands of this very capable, and highly readable author, it becomes so much more. The haunting was unique and the story revolving around the haunting was very intriguing. I totally did not anticipate the way the story was going or how it was going to end up. This was a great first entry in a new genre that I hope the author will continue. This book, as well as everything else this author has written, comes highly recommended.”

If you enjoy Fantasy Romance, Mystery and Suspense, Ghost Stories, or Paranormal Mystery then you might enjoy The Haunting of Alcott Manor…

She has a gift. His family has a past. Can they solve a century-old mystery… together?

Gemma doesn’t miss working for the family business. She has a knack for restoring older properties, but after a vicious haunting nearly killed her, she was more than ready to move on. Gemma agrees to one last job to save her parents’ business, but the 1880s historical estate has its fair share of dark secrets…

Henry Alcott wants nothing more than to free the spirit from his family’s property. Ever since the original owner was wrongfully convicted of murder and sentenced to death, the ghost has made sure every restoration effort was a miserable failure. But there’s something about Gemma that makes Henry believe in a much brighter future…

Gemma and Henry must solve a hundred-year mystery to complete the restoration in time. Failure to do so could cost Gemma’s parents their business, but staying in the house could cost them much, much more…

The Haunting of Alcott Manor is a contemporary gothic romance mystery. If you like fateful chemistry, engaging characters, and mysteries that keep you guessing until the very end, then you’ll love the first book in Alyssa Richards’ chilling new series.

Review – The Fine Art of Deception

Thank you to Splashes Into Books for their Review of The Fine Art of Deception!

The Fine Art of Deception: Undoing Time by Alyssa Richards

Title: The Fine Art of Deception: Undoing TimeAdobe Photoshop PDF

Author: Alyssa Richards

Publisher: CreateSpace Publishing

Published: January 18th, 2015

Rating: 5/5

Adeline Montgomery comes from a family of psychics. They each have their own talents and hers is that when she touches an object she sees events and feelings relating to its owner, sometimes their deepest secrets. This is a great way of finding out if art work is genuine or fake but sometimes others just find it too frightening to cope with – like her ex, Jeremy, who is now engaged to the person who used to be her best friend. Even though they split seven years ago it has had a severe effect on her willingness to share her gift or to trust men. She can also see and communicate with “ghosts” and touching someone can reveal their secrets whether she wants to know them or not. Shutting out all these communications is difficult for her at times. Now she’s going to try for a job as a researcher in the Art appraisal company started by Otto Albrecht and her grandfather. It is now years since her father and grandfather mysteriously and dramatically disappeared whilst in Paris for the company  – even with her psychic talents she hasn’t been able to find them. Her sister warns her to stay away from the company but she needs the job and maybe she can find out what happened to their father and grandfather!

Gallery owner Blake Greenwood admits people in the art world aren’t always what they seem. He’s tall, dark and dangerously attractive as far as Adeline is concerned, their attraction is mutual and somewhat irresistible. Her gifts, however, warn her to keep away from him – should she listen to her head or her heart? She needs to decide quickly because in the fraudulent art world, mafia involvement and people who aren’t what they seem all threaten Adeline, even when she doesn’t realise her danger.

This is well written with complex characters who reveal more of themselves as the story progresses. It is a great mystery with paranormal elements that make it enthrallingly different and captivating. With soul mates, vengeful spirits, a range of psychic abilities together with a possible romance this book has it all. Any fans of mysteries or paranormal romance are likely to be as enamoured with this book as I am. It does end but there are so many loose ends that I really hope there will be a sequel!

Thanks to the author, publishers and NetGalley, too,
for letting me read an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Paranormal Romance Book Review

April 13, 2015 by Alyssa Leave a Comment

Adobe Photoshop PDFThank Azahara from Living In Our Own Story Book Blog for her review of  The Fine Art of Deception, Undoing Time !!! (A Paranormal Romance Book)

My review:

While I am writing this review I am listening to the playlist that Alyssa has created for the book and there are some songs that certainly remind me of both Addie and Blake. I love You Found Me from The Fray,it is so perfect for this couple!

This book kept my undivided attention for the whole 2 days it took me to read it. I enjoyed every minute of it and I am so happy that I accepted the request to review this book because undoubtedly Alyssa Richards has just become one of my new favourite authors for this year.

It has been a really long time since I read a really good paranormal book. I was tired of reading the same clichéd stories so it was a breath of fresh air to read The Fine Art of Deception. I am a sucker for great mysteries and trying to solve them and this book gave me just the chance to do that. I have to say that there were things I caught at first sight but there were others that were so well hidden that it was impossible to unravel them till the end.

I loved all the concept of predestination, reincarnation and soul mates. I have previously read about this kind of topic in other books and really liked it. But Alyssa brings a new kind of passion into the paranormal genre, she brings adventure, mystery, desire and love while bending the limits of the paranormal world with romance to create an unforgettable story.

Both main characters are strong-willed and passionate about what they love. The whole story is narrated from Addie´s point of view which gave me an insight on how hard her power makes her life. I really liked her as main character but I loved Blake. He is powerful in a kind of alpha male way that you cannot do nothing but fall under his sexy spell. I mean, just his name is sexy 😉

I really loved this story and cannot wait to read its sequel. If you are a fan of paranormal romance or just romance with a new twist you should definitely check out The Fine Art of Deception and keep Alyssa Richards in your top author´s list!
