Blue Into the Rip by Kev Heritage

A Twitter Bud of mine, Kev Heritage, has written a book entitled, Blue Into the Rip.  Odd but intriguing title got my attention.  Then I saw the cover! Which I should say satisfied my, I will confess, Book Cover Snob Attitude.  Right there on the front is a half-buried skeleton, space, Saturn; no question, I was reading this one!

The meaning behind the title is revealed pretty quickly.  The movement is fast paced and I quickly found myself caring about the main character’s well-being, both physically and mentally. The main character comes in contact with a multiple of personalities and is thrown into unfamiliar situations.  His reaction is very telling of his loyalties and his changing prospective.

The story goes through several unforeseen twists and turns, but the changes are smooth and “WOW, did not see that coming”.  The changes are not, “You have got to be kidding”.

Love the study of the use of slang as normal and authoritative words.  As I have observed this sort of change in my lifetime, this is something I can identify with.  Words that were unacceptable or considered uneducated are now used by educators as well as other professionals.  I found myself smiling over the usage of some of the terms.

As I finished this chapter of the main characters journey, I found tears in my eyes.  Tears arrive for different reasons; happiness, fear, horror, love.  Why they arrived for me, well I shall not reveal.  No spoilers here!

This is a story I would love to discuss with others, you know the how, why, what if’s and oh no’s!

Looking forward to the next installment!

Good job Kev!
