Rating:  Summary: I enjoy a Magickal Mystery Review: I really enjoyed both of the Rowan Gant mysteries. They hold you to the end with no difficulty. I look forward to reading more of them and tell my friends about them.
Rating:  Summary: Stellar mystery series Review: I was in the middle of one of Patricia Cornwall's Kay Scarpetta mysteries when I picked up "Never Burn a Witch." After only a few pages, I put Cornwall aside until I finished this book, and the two sequels that follow it: "Perfect Trust" and "The Law of Three."I had read and enjoyed the first book, "Harm None." With each book, the stakes grow higher for Rowan Gant. There is a real sense of place in the St. Louis setting. The positive portrayal of pagan religion makes it a fascinating read, but Sellars never lets the religious aspect overshadow the mystery. I cannot recommend the Rowan Gant series highly enough.

Rating:  Summary: A Real Cliff-Hanger Review: In his first book, "Harm None", Mr. Seller's introduced us to Rowan Gant and his cast of characters that comprised what turned out to be a really original and suspenseful mystery novel. Mr. Seller's returns with his players in the Rowan Gant Investigation "Never Burn a Witch". Mr. Seller's continues with the mystery/suspence vein by presenting us with another serial killer and it falls on Rowan Gant, the modern day witch and consultant to the police department, to lead the police to a killer who is a self proclaimed inquisitor and executioner focusing on witches. Will Rowan and the police find him before he kills again? Suspense, humor, drama, good character development, original plot and twists; all these were present in the first book, and continues in the second book. Mr. Seller's presents us with an excellent offering of mystery/suspense. From the opening pages to the cliff hanger ending, it's a "can't put it down" novel. With all the thrills of a 1940's detective novel and in the tradition of the classic mystery writers, we have a new entry into mystery/suspense theater with Rowan Gant.
Rating:  Summary: On the edge of my broomstick. Review: Keeping the light on for us, M. R. Sellars has done it again.
His cast of characters keep us not only entertained, but genuinely enthralled. Great storyline and pacing will grab you by the short hairs and hold you there until the last page, gasping for more.
Rating:  Summary: Most Enjoyable Review: M.R. Sellar does it again. This book leads with strong character developement and a fast paced and well constructed story. The only problem that I ever have with Mr. Sellars is that once you start to read one of his books you just don't want to put it down. Pick it up, you will thoroughly enjoy it.
Rating:  Summary: A Must Read!!! Review: Mr. Sellar's work is both intriguing and innovative. It not only keeps your attention, but has an excellent literary foundation. Many works may keep your interest but lack a true literary foundation. To find both in a work makes it a must read. I look forward to reading anything else he produces. Nikki Kavano (...)
Rating:  Summary: NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART Review: NEVER BURN A WITCH is the second Rowan Gant Investigation, following HARM NONE. Someone is running around St Louis with an apostolic way of thinking. They truly believe God is directing their path and that it is their duty to rid the earth of witches. Brianna Louise Walker took a nosedive off of the sixth story balcony of the Riverfront Hilton handcuffed. The monogram of Christ was carved into her inner thighs by the murderer to purify her because of her profession. The second murder is even more gruesome. Rowan Gant is back to help his best friend, police officer Ben Storm, because a serial killer is on the loose, and it's up to them to solve these murders before the next one occurs. I found NEVER BURN A WITCH to have a very strong plot. It moves along at a fast pace and delivers lots of suspense. M.R. Sellers writes with such graphic descriptions that you feel you are there witnessing it with your own eyes. This is not a read for the faint of heart.
Rating:  Summary: Good page-turner Review: Sellars has interesting plot lines, good action, and has definitely got the Pagan angle right. The policework, too, seems believable. A good read.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent book Review: This is a great series of mystery books that deal with Witchcraft in a very respectable way. The main characters are witches who help the law decipher occult symbols found at a St.Louis murder site. It's a fairly realistic portrayal of wiccans. Christians won't approve, but the book gets heavily into the craft and it's tenants. Check this one out, it was a rollercoaster ride.
