Unscarred Reviews:
Jason Cooper - Books@LP Blog "Hamilton’s debut is a swift-moving, action-packed tale that leaves the reader ready for more."
4/5 Stars
Multiverse Reviews
"I really enjoyed "Unscarred." I got caught up in Kyle's story and enjoyed watching him come of age. At Kyle's core, he is a person of integrity. This made his character very likeable and one to be admired. He learned a lot from people trying to use him and take advantage of him. But his core self did not change. The author, R. M. Hamilton does an excellent job with character development. This adds a great deal of depth to the story. This is a great read for fantasy fans. I also would recommend it as a book for a young adult or high school student who needs to read a book for an assignment. They will totally enjoy this one, and I think that it will motivate them to read more. I definitely want to read more of Hamilton's works! "
4/5 Stars
Booksville Literary Reviews "The battle between good and evil, man and demon explode into an outcome very
different from what you might think. Unscarred is a very well thought out story, very
creative and describes the inner turmoil Kyle feels. The book is full of fighting, blood,
honor and betrayal."
4/5 Stars
Wendy S. (Galesburg, IL) "RM wrote a truly amazing book for a first-time author. I was completely hooked within the first few pages and finished the book in one night. I don't have that happen to me very often and I read a lot of books. I truly believe that RM's books will be gracing the shelves of libraries and bookstores in the not too distant future."
