The Hedgehog Dilemma

2 full-length Novels and includes 204,000 words! This is a modern Urban Fantastical retelling, albeit loosely, of the loved Arthurian Tales. If you like character driven and focused stories with a little bit of gritty realism and magical realism, you'll thoroughly enjoy this book! Below are some reviews I've curated which don't give too much away. After surviving a nuclear meltdown at Area 51, Ted Anderson settles down for a peaceful life, apart from the U.S. military under an assumed name. But his mind will never go silent as each night wakes him up screaming for the ghosts of the past, the dead friends, and the guilt for taking so many lives in his tenure. Settling in Boston, a group of Naive Christians find this suicidal and murderous fae, and for a time Ted Anderson is allowed a little peace with the bubbly Jennifer Miller. As their relationships build, a man who knows Ted's past named Jeff Clemens of Black Eagle Company, and he threatens to reveal the secret that holds Ted's lower than life persona. With the Holy Grail Stolen, the Casters' Administration run by the fae are desperately looking for a lead to McCurdy, the thief. With no leads, and little to go off of, there appears to be a mysterious fae not cleaning up their mana trail, risking the organization coming to light, and Ilya has been tasked with finding this "Ghost". Ilya and a modest group of fae are charged specifically for tracking him down, and their trail leads directly into Boston. On the global front, trade agreements start collapsing and the economy is suffering across the world as NATO disbands, and the United States has made too many enemies, two of whom are threatening their borders; China and Russia. OAV: The start of the book hit some triggers, but I passed them and continued reading and found that this book was really good. The plot is engaging and the author developed a well-balanced story. I do not give spoilers. All I will say is that I am happy I continued reading past my triggers. Devin: Strong characters with interesting stories, that get placed together bit by bit. There was heart even in the violence, characters like Ted made you really root for the guy who pulled the short stick, who did his duty and paid the ultimate price for it. Really enjoyed this one. Definitely worth the read! Tiffany Rich: This book wasn't like any I have read in a very long time and that I really loved. I love the originality of the storyline, and also how it hooks you from page one. Valerie Storm(Author of Birth of a Storm): There was so much heart and tension among the violence, it was amazing how seamlessly the characters flowed and cared for one another. This continues throughout the book, following a story of friendship through extreme hardships - it truly is one of a kind. Amira: It's nice, something that isn't popular yet, and it's so beautiful. Emma Ashley: This novel was a very interesting read and kept me gripped from the start. I couldn't put it down till I got to the end. Definitely recommend it.
