Forest of Fortune

By Jim Ruland
Forest of Fortune by Jim Ruland digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Forest of Fortune tells the story of three haunted souls--an alcoholic, an epileptic, and a gambling addict--who try to turn their luck around at a decrepit Indian casino. But something's not right at Thunderclap Casino. As the three of them come to terms with the ways in which they are haunted by the past and struggle with their addictions, they must confront the malevolent force that won't rest until old wrongs have been made right.

Forest of Fortune Reviews

3.0
“Book was pretty good for me, took me a while to get into at first, didnt think i was going to like it. But once i got into the three characters lives got into a good flow and turned out to be a nice book. Not alot of action in it, but the writing was very good. Really liked how he took the three lives and made a cohesive story without much interaction between them at all. Gave it four stars, just didnt have enough umph to get it to five for me. but still a very nice book.”
