Dorothy in the Land of Monsters
Dorothy in the Land of Monsters | Garten Gevedon
2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
Shifters, Zombies, and Vampires? Oh my! My name is Dorothy Gale, and I think I might be dead. When my dog Toto and I got swept up in a twister, we landed in hell. A very colorful hell. Like a rainbow dripping in blood. Now it looks as though this dreadful underworld plagued with vampires, zombies, and shifters will be the site of my eternal damnation. They say this terrifying land called Oz isn’t hell or purgatory and escape is possible, but first I must survive the journey down the blood-soaked yellow brick road to the only place in Oz where vampires dare not tread—The City of Emeralds. With enchanted footwear and the help of my three new friends—a friendly zombie, a massive shifter lion, and a heartless axe murderer of evil night creatures (who also happens to be the hottest guy I’ve ever seen)—Toto and I have a chance to make it to the Vampire Free Zone. When we get there, I must convince the most powerful wizard in this magical land of monsters to send us out of this radiant nightmare and back to the world of the living. They say he’s just as frightening as this monstrous land, that he detests visitors, and even the most horrifying creatures cower in his presence. But I must seek him out. And when I find him, I’ll do whatever it takes to make him send me home.

When you work 8 hours at Camelot education for kids with special needs, have five minutes free time, then go to your night job at the retirement center you are so tired! But I have a little break and I figured Id crack open a new book...Dorothy in the land of monsters to escape for a little bit lol.

Mehso-so

I loved the premise, it's all sorts of messy & fun. The writing was mostly good & showed the presence of talent, especially with sensory description. Gevedon clearly has the ability to write a good scene & some interesting characters. But the dialogue was awkward & uncomfortable, some word choices made it feel like thesaurus on standby & there was also a lot of repetition that annoyed me. I liked it, but wanted to like it more than I did.
