Sahara’s Book Review of Tethered (Aurora Wasteland) by Vaughn Ashby 

DESCRIPTION:

There is a Ghost Penis Monster and a Giant Hell Spider in this book, you’ve been warned!

In 1982 Moe killed a man while defending his son.
The next day the man came back.
In 1982 Moe went missing.
The man continued to come back.
In 2014 events are repeating themselves.

In a race against time, reason, and more time, Shane has to unwind mysteries of the past in order to save his friend Jason who has gone missing.

Ugh…. That sounds heavy. While all the above is true, this book also have a Ghost Dick Monster that stabs his ghost dick into a guy’s shoulder… seriously, that actually happens in this book.

Also, the main dude Shane, mentioned a couple of paragraphs above, well he and his wife are having issues. They both want to bang more, but they aren’t good about talking about it, so it’s this whole thing. Anyway, they are cute and shit together by the end, shit… is that a spoiler… shit… can you say shit in a book blurb? Oh well, whatever this book is not for kids… So fuck it, I’ll say whatever I want… boobs.

Anyway, this book has LaughsSexMonstersMysteries, and a dick ton of other really cool stuff that I won’t spoil here. You want to be cool, right? Well, then you better read this book, I mean all your cool friends already have. Don’t ask them, just trust me.

The first book in the Aurora Wasteland Literary Universe, which combines Horror, Scifi, and Humor. All books in the Aurora Wasteland Literary Universe are interconnected but are also stand-alone novels, and can be read in any order you’d like.

Welcome to the AURORA WASTELAND.

MY REVIEW:

I featured this book on my blog back in June as a Free Book. The blurb caught my attention, I mean how can a Ghost Penis Monster NOT catch your attention?  So I had to download a copy. At that time it was free in KU, now it’s not.  If you don’t want to pay $2.99, just click on the above link, join his newsletter and get ready for a wacky ride.   

I haven’t read a storyline this convoluted for a very long time. It skips times, POV’s, and places so it can be confusing.  I’d set the book aside several times to read other books I had to get done.  Now I wish I hadn’t.  I feel like I’ve missed some of the impact from the ending as each time I had to remember what the hell the story was about. 

If you’re a purist about editing, Ashby’s writing style might irk you, but it really does fit the story.  There are plot twists and Aha moments, but I’m still scratching my head over what actually happened.  I think I understood the concept of what happened.  Maybe? 

Regardless, if you love horror, gruesome deaths, weird paranormal crap, you’ll enjoy this book.  I give it 4 stars and I’ll be reading the next one.
