Review: Down the River

by
Down the River - J. Scott Coatsworth

Just got an amazing review from author M.D. Neu: I read The River City Chronicles a while back, and today I finished Down the River (the second book in the series), both by J. Scott Coatsworth, but I have to say that this didn’t feel like a typical book two. Reading the story was more like catching up with old friends whom you haven’t seen in a while. You jump right into the story, and never once did I feel like I missed something or needed to go back and check what happened in the first book. What I kept … Read more

Just got an amazing review for Down the River from Estora at Queer Sci Fi: Get It At Amazon | Publisher | B&N | Kobo | Apple | Smashwords | Vivlio | Universal Buy Link The Review A group of strangers’ lives were changed forever when they met at an Italian restaurant in Sacramento nine years ago. Now, their lives entwine once more in the wake of new struggles, tragedies, loves, and secrets. I ended up reading the first book, The River City Chronicles, in tandem with Down The River. Having River City Chronicles under my belt definitely enhanced my experience of Down The River, but the book can be read just as well without prior knowledge. The ensemble … Read more
