It's very well written. It does what any good story does...makes you forget about the world while you're reading.

CTHULHU A LOVE STORY BY JC RUDKIN
book review by Joe ortlieb

So Cthulhu a love story what to say and where to start. When I started reading this I was like wait am I reading some crazy romance novel by mistake.... It's a very different take on any Cthulhu story I've read. JC does an odd thing with Cthulhu but it works good with the story. It's very well written. It does what any good story does...makes you forget about the world while you're reading.

Some parts I enjoyed more then others. It does jump past to present to much for me, but that's me and something I don't enjoy. If you're looking for a cult blood bath filled horror story then this isn't going to be for you. If you're looking for something enjoyable and different then I'd say it's worth checking out.

You can always tell when somebody writes about something they like and wants to put they're own spin on it. JC Rudkin did a good job doing this. So if you don't mind some romance in your stories and like Cthulhu give it a try.

I'm giving it a 3.4 out of 5.

Cthulhu: A Love Story: A Love Story

I met Cthulhu in college.

In one night, I discovered his true identity, opened a portal to another dimension, banished him there, and thwarted a doomsday cult. None of this was covered during First Year orientation, but I managed. Now I must awaken him from his eternal slumber to undo a cosmic cataclysm while avoiding the prophecy foretelling my failure and the end of humanity.

Nothing in Amanda's life has ever been normal, but her college boyfriend, Ryley, was paranormal. Fifteen years after banishing him to his city beneath the waves, she needs to evoke dark magic to dispel the mounting chaos pervading the world, twisting events and people beyond madness.

Now the stars are right.

Amanda must summon Ry and save the world. But at what cost?

Cthulhu: A Love Story is a contemporary take on the Lovecraftian Mythos filled with chaos worshipping cultists, dark rituals, and cosmic horror.
