Harsh Reality Kindle Edition

by Elle E Ire (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 14 ratings
See all formats and editions
After demon elementals kill the good folks Sheriff Cali McCade has sworn to protect, the last place she expects to find herself is the future.

Cali McCade is happy being the only female sheriff in the West until evil destroys her town of Oblivion and everyone in it. But when a magical creature sends her forward in time, Cali gets a chance for justice—and to stop history from repeating itself.

Now, on the set of Harsh Reality, a television show that challenges average people to survive in historical settings, Cali isn’t just the sheriff of Oblivion—she also plays herself on TV. It isn’t easy to find her path in this new world, but at least she knows what her “character” would do… even if it’s a little strange to be navigating a blooming romance with the woman playing Arlene, her long-lost love.

When the elementals show up to destroy Oblivion all over again, can Cali find a way to defeat the demons, keep her cover, and still ride off into the sunset?

About the Author

Elle E. Ire resides in Celebration, Florida, where she writes science fiction and urban fantasy novels featuring kickass women who fall in love with each other. She has won local and national writing competitions, including the Royal Palm Literary Award, the Pyr and Dragons essay contest judged by the editors at Pyr Publishing, the Do It Write competition judged by a senior editor at Tor publishing, and she is a winner of the Backspace scholarship awarded by multiple literary agents. She and her spouse belong to several writing groups and attend and present at many local, state, and national writing conferences.

She is the author of Vicious Circle (original release 2015, rerelease 2020), the Storm Fronts series (2019-2020), the Nearly Departed series (2021-2022), and Reel to Real Love (2021).

5.0 out of 5 stars Action Packed in Many Ways

I really enjoyed this book. It's a western with zombies, but it's more so character driven and about people. It's also a love story with a few steamy scenes that are tastefully written. It's a page-turner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent blend of western and speculative fiction

I loved this latest novel from masterful author Elle E. Ire. She does an excellent job of blending old-world western, new-world settings, and fantasy elements. I particularly enjoyed the contrast between old Arlene and "new Arlene" and the developing romance between the characters. This book had me engaged fully, terrified by the Eye Killers, until the satisfying end. Great read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Would you fight zombies with paintball?

Take a strong woman lead. Make her sheriff in the old west. Throw in a girlfriend. And zombies. Maybe some pissed off mythologicals.
Did I mention time travel? And plots within plots? And great story telling? Crisp dialogue? It’s all kinds of fun!
There’s even paintball.
