Haunted Tree The Magus Family Chronicles Book 1 eBook Scott Robert Scheller

Well, this is the first two star review I've ever given...I had begun this book after finishing a tremendous series, and making two other attempts to begin a book, only to reject them, decided to move forward with this one. The beginning intrigued me and I went with it. The main thing that struck me when I finished is, what about this tree? We never really understand what it's power is or where it comes from...it just sort of leaves you hanging. I began by enjoying the three main characters, and wanted to see where they would end up, however, the syrupy sweetness of Marc and Valeria was simply too unbelievable to me...I mean really, a horney teen boy isn't going to move forward with a MORE than willing partner, because of "god"...the almighty? He's a WIZARD!..they all are wizards, who believe in the Lord, in a really big way. It was a tad confusing to me to say the least, because it's a super huge part of this story. I admit, this is not my preferred kind of reading..so those of you who worship or feel as the characters did will obviously not be bothered by this constant, constant, reference. However, this is supposed to be a historically driven story as well...??? Not to my knowledge, seriously, not much going on with that end either. I wanted to read this and enjoy it, was dying to have something good to read and I found myself waiting for the end. That's harsh and I'm truly sorry for offending, this is not my nature as a reviewer...but it's simply the truth.

Haunted Tree The Magus Family Chronicles Book 1 eBook Scott Robert Scheller Reviews

This book was written for me! I enjoyed the characters and the total idea of it. Please continue writing as reading your book was extremely enjoyable.
Briefly Plot is good but executed ok-ish; a nice tale but heavily christian, sounded like catechism. Characters are so and so, especially the main female who felt like a romantic tool for Marc.

Now the long version. The language is good, evocative but not pompous, fluid and well-honed. Good job to the author. The action scenes are brief and reasonable, mostly, and the tension is good. The pacing could be improved, tension goes down too often for too long.

What really put me off is the Christian theme so explicit. When characters continuously say "God bless you", "God bless me", "Thank God for that", while living in a kind of apocalyptic context, that seems absolutely unrealistic to me. That's when the worst gets out of people, and they might plead forgiveness to God or Gods but with fear, resentment, desperation not with overflowing gratefulness.

Those kind of expressions are put as common sayings, yes, but are also present in the introspective bits of all main characters. It sounds to me like the author's belief system got too involved in the tale, at the expense of internal coherence.

There is also another thing that needs work character development.

Marc is too scared/afraid of magic, unreasonably so since he greatly respects the wizard Oren. Now, either he shouldn't be so afraid, or he should not respect Oren so much. There needs to be a reconciliation between these two, but I didn't see it. Yes, later this changes under Oren's tutelage, but I find the "premise" unrealistic.

Valeria is a bit stereotyped, and she kind of acts like Marc's support only. She dearly loves him, she helps him out, she quench his fears. She's a mother-wife before being even romantically involved with him. I prefer strong, well characterised women in my fiction.

To conclude, I think the author has potential and the next novels will probably be stronger. However, I doubt I'll be buying the sequel of this. Not my cup of tea.
Got this for my son, he's an avid reader. This book held his attention so much so that he didn't play video games or watch movies over a weekend. When done, he asked if author had other works. Looking forward to more stuff from this author.
I really enjoyed this book. It is so well written. I can see the characters in my mind. It kept me engaged, and I wanted to know what happened next. Would make a great movie. The book club I belong to is reading it this month. Waiting for the next book.
I feel honored to be able to be at the beginning of what is no doubt going to be an exciting ride. What Scott has provided in the Haunted Tree is a rich vibrant world of the Magus family. Rich in character development, exciting action, and a very pleasant view of "magic". Can't wait for Book 2!
It may seem I took a while to read the book. It did not. My children read it as well. This is definitely a story for ALL ages! The story has meaning, and magic is seen as a gift from God. Well explained in religious terms. Loved the characters. I could feel their emotions, and the magic....! It was like a movie in my head o(*^▽^*)o
The story is full of excitement, and you find yourself drawn into a beautiful world of fantasy. Mark and Valeria's friendship slowly developed into a beautiful romance. With the conflicts in the kingdom and new king, the novel keeps you on the edge. Well written!! Left us expecting more after last page. Both my children loved the magic mystery, the action and adventure in the book. I loved the beautiful romance that developed between main characters and the suspense and mystery of the powers held by the tree and Mark.
Definitely a book to keep in your library, and one you'd never get tired of. I had figured out how to borrow from Prime. Had to purchase it. A must read book!!
