Critic reviews

"In Angel Steel, Chandler again demonstrates his mastery at turning phrases and telling solid, horrific tales.... Randy Chandler is a name to be remembered and read!" (Gregory L. Norris, author of Shrunken Heads: 20 Tiny Tales of Mystery and Terror.)

Fun and Violent Romp

So I've known this author as a solid example of hardcore horror for a while and jumped on this opportunity to see how he explores a different genre. It's definitely still got some of the same threads with pretty solid violence and some horrific elements, but mixed in with what feels like an old school sword and sorcery novel. The main character is an interesting one, someone who would rather shoot first and ask questions later as she maneuvers through a world populated by monsters and worse but she's still pretty easy to root for as it races towards the conclusion.

LOVED IT!

I loved it! The narration was great and kept me entertained. The author did a great job with the character builds and plot. This was my first book by this author but definitely not my last. I look forward to reading more books from this author. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Not sure

This was strange mix of characters and story. The book had some good moments, but just never really seemed to grab me.

Well

I got this story via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review. The narrator did not make me like the book. The story was different. The world-building during the first chapters did nor draw me in. As the story continued it got better. The battle scenes were good. The last chapter was very good. Her dying wish and the ending were very good. There were some audible issues. Several hollow sounds and bits that took away from the story.

Crazy story about a virgin with a sword!

This Audio Book was a little hard to get through. The Narrator was difficult to relate with the story with the deep voice. The story really jumps around all over the place and it is difficult to determine where and when things are happening.. The idea of the story was good but the way it was delivered was much to be desired. I received this audio book for free in exchange for an unbiased review.

Not for me

Unfortunately, this book is not for me. The writing needs polishing and the narrator needs changed. Increasing the speed to 1.7x helped a bit with the overdone narration. May have been a good book but....

Too many groupings of characters and stories

It has very religious theme with Native American, mythology and other times all mixed into one narrative. It just doesn’t work or flow right. The narrator tried really hard to mimic a females voice. Was not a fan of this one.
