Typecast
By Kim Carmichael
You may have heard and read bits and pieces here and there
about the book: “Typecast”, because it was something we were all able to vote
on, through Amazon and Kindle Scout, and the best part- this book is one of
the Winners!
So firstly, let me begin with a huge congrats to Kim for
winning the Kindle Scout contest! Woot! Woot!
Next, let me start with my raving review: Kim still truly
inspires me with her story telling ability. I love how this book goes from the “Play
writer” to the “Story telling” scenarios. This part is what is I find truly
inspiring. No other book is like this, least wise that I have read…yet.
And the characters, as you read them you can’t help but
visualize them in your mind and want to meet them. Especially their eyes, blue.
And when I see blue eyes, I always see into their soul. Blue eyes are just so
sexy. To me, anyway, and yeah, I’m entitled to my opinion. Whose review is
this?!
‘“I kissed Logan Alexander.” Ivy stared at the television
even though it wasn’t on. She didn’t need to watch reruns any-way . The kiss
replaying in her head over-shadowed anything else.’
She kissed Logan! Ivy
kissed Logan! That lucky beautiful woman kissed Logan! Okay, I read that line and
now I’m jealous. No. Wait what?! I am getting jealous of a character in a book.
I looked over at my husband, he asks me what. I started laughing. I proceeded
to tell him what I read, and what Logan looked like (to me) and that I was
jealous of Ivy. My husband rolled his eyes at me, and said I need help.
I than told him, no really, I think I was getting so
involved in this book, I felt like I was a character right there, while Ivy is
announcing that she kissed him, and I am listening, and I am one of those …(must
watch my mouth…) women standing there. Normally I call myself something else,
actually I call most of us women something else, because let’s face it, most of
the time, we are. Especially, when it comes to jealousy, but I am a tell it all
kind of person.
While reading "Typecast" at first, I wasn't sure if Ivy was really going to be able to pull it off, sometimes her shyness, seemed a little stronger than usual. And the fact that Logan wanted to make a name for himself again, I knew he could. He still had the looks. But in the distance I felt he sometimes doubted himself, or wanted to. But together, I felt they were each others anchor in the long run.
On point….reading this book, I thought it was a very strong
book. A very romantic book, with a lot of really interesting acting, and the
inside scoop of actors and acting. I loved the fact, that while I was reading,
unlike while reading the “Jackie Collins” books, this book had more sex appeal, and the people even
looked better, in the wording alone!
I found this book, well worth reading, and enjoyed every
minute of it, including the fabulous list of characters! Like I keep saying, I
love the writing style, with the play write, and then back to story line. I
think it makes it even more interesting. It makes you feel like you are right
there with them as they do their thing too!
A definite five star review, no wonder it made it onto the
Kindle Scout Awards! It is well worth it! It will keep you entertained in your
chair, sipping a glass of wine, and thinking, “This book would make for an
excellent Movie!” Kim Carmichael has the writers touch, and “Typecast" proves
it!
