Welcome to The War Gate, a paranormal romance/thriller with a time-travel twist.
“This was a solidly written tale with a trace of fantasy and complex thought used in defining the concept of leaping from one time gate to the next—excellent job of structuring.”
Terrie G, Bitten by Books, 4 out of 5.
“The War Gate is a captivating book. Mystery, magic and the paranormal blend together in a perfect mix. I would thoroughly recommend this book to fantasy enthusiasts who also like romance.
Orcid, Aurora Reviews, 5 out of 5.
Tag Line Through a miraculous conception, Avalon Labrador must give birth to herself before she is executed, to solve her husband’s murder and her own wrongful conviction.
When the reincarnated Avy Labrador is kicked out of her stepfather’s house on her 18th birthday, she has no idea that the man who raised her framed her mother to cover his murder so he could acquire a major software empire. Now, years later, with the help of her magician boyfriend, Sebastian, Avy is about to discover that her birth was otherworldly and for a purpose. The ancient Roman God Janus was so appalled by the heinous murder of Tom Labrador by his brother Drake that he opened up a War Gate.
Avy has received half of her mother’s soul light and half of a God’s essence. Her mission is to put the real killer behind bars. The only catch she must learn to “Gate-Walk”, that’s time traveling to the layman. She soon finds out that she is a drunk driver on the space/time continuum super highway.
Just when she believes she has too much on her plate to contend with, she learns that she’s pegged the wrong man as the killer…her boyfriend is not who he appears to be…and Janus, the so-called God of new beginnings, doorways and gates, just might be the biggest conman and liar she has ever met.
The War Gate has a heavy mystery structure, as well as paranormal/magic and romance elements.
War Gate Author's Note The antagonist character, Wax Man, is not for the squeamish. I warn you ahead of time that he is the most disgusting, vile creature/human you're ever likely to read about. Not for younger readers under 13.

I enjoyed it to a point. Not really gripping but interesting. The villain is a little too one dimensional and the wax man was over the top.The writing was more solid than the plotting. The love story a bit contrived and rushed, but I really enjoyed the time travel aspect and the actions of the god involved. More could have definitely been spent there.
It's almost as if the author wasn't sure whether they were writing a mystery thriller or paranormal story. Still, worth a read. I hope the author keeps going and refines their craft.

The War Gate edition by Chris Stevenson Farah Evers Greg Wonderman Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
I'm a scifi/fantasy fan and The War Gate sounded interested. I stayed with it through almost a third of the book, hoping that it would get better, but it didn't. Books like this make me very glad I finally got over reading everything I started right to the end.
Leave it to Chris Stevenson, master of the imagination, to put a new and unique twist on an old and established genre -- time travel.
"The War Gate" is as surprising as it is entertaining, containing a fantastical slew of heroes, villains, gods and magicians, all wrapped into one of the most unusual and absorbing story lines I've seen in a while. After all, it's not everyday that a character gives birth to herself, while earning the assistance and admiration of a god in the process.
Time travel is only part of the story. The War Gate is really a paranormal murder mystery filled with enough twists and turns to defy even time, and it is fueled by a sadistic killer who is truly scary and not for the squeamish. Will magic prevail over madness?
Only time will tell.
-- Jim Melvin, author of The Death Wizard Chronicles, a six-book epic fantasy
WOW, it started out so different. I found it was such an original idea. I liked the whole beginning, it really set a high standard for the rest of the book. There was one aspect of the book that seemed to drag on. I won't give spoilers, but I trudged through the "difficulty" the main character had, and enjoyed the rest of the book. It just seemed like the "difficulty" became way larger than the story line.
All in all, I really did like the book. I was very clever.
Average reading for me. I was not that into War to begin with. His writing is good to follow but it did not keep me up .
Love it
I don't even know where to start. Lack of proper editing, unlikable characters, bizarre plot, abysmal dialogue. Hard pass.
A homeless man who uses a possum as a weapon. I'll leave you with that.
The War Gate by Chris Stevenson
The War Gate is an enigma that begins to defy having a set genre. While it starts with a rather Paranormal almost Rosemary's Baby setup with some bit of mumbo jumbo about gates and the clear indication that Avalon Labrador might be getting a second chance by being reborn in the child she conceived without the act of sex and it move quickly into a Young Adult novel catching up with Avy the daughter as she graduates from school; has a birthday; and has her stepfather kick her out of house and home to get some job experience.
Avalon has been wrongly convicted of killing her husband and has been in prison for fourteen years. She is on death row when Father Janus Geminus visits supposedly to take her final confession. Through his agency she conceives a child and is saved temporarily from death-row to birth the child and then she passes away during childbirth with a hint of the notion she might be reborn. When Avy strikes out on her own due to her stepfathers insistence she will meet Janus Geminus who oddly seems to have not aged.
After Avy moves out she is compelled to learn more about her mother and she meets Sebastian, a magician who will give her a job as his assistant. This is where the book becomes a detective novel replete with all the transparency of a classic Noir mystery full of simile and metaphor to bring to mind the works of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett. Many of these phrases will borderline on cliche but for the most part they don't interfere with the intended tone of the story.
The reader and Avy discover more about the gates and Janus Geminus and we start to drift closely to Mythological time travel with teleportation within strange gates that exist within every door. Avy learns she is a gate-walker and she has the ability to use these gates. (likely because of how she was conceived and who her perceived father is.) There is direct correlation between Janus of the Roman myth and the Janus of this story which is made very clearly through the narrative.
A health portion of the novel is almost dark comedic mystery with a touch of romance until the WaxMan is introduced. It then becomes much darker and gritty and dangerous. This is when it dips heavily into the Paranormal and we learn more about Sebastian who seem to be a bit on the paranormal side of things. So we have a Paranormal Pseudo Noir mystery romance science fiction containing a bit of mythos and fable.
The plot is quite a bit convoluted at times and yet kept simplistic enough to follow with a few nice twists and turns that make it difficult to determine exactly where everything will end.
There was one point that I felt created a bit of inexplicable hole in the plot; that involved the grandparents of Avy. Since we find out early on that she looks a lot like her mother and she has been living with her uncle and aunt on her fathers side of the family.(The father that is not really her father.) There is an explanation given for her mothers mother having avoided seeing her, but none given that her 'fathers' parents have not seen her and this is important because at one point she is posing as someone else in front of both grandparents and no one recognizes her. And even though her grandmother on her mother's side had never seen her; just the fact that she looks a lot like her mother should have made that woman do a double take. There is no explanation about her uncles parents seeming to not know what Avy looks like.(Maybe they never visited.)
That aside everything is pretty tight throughout and the writing is great with good pacing though I was sometimes thrown off by the number of cliche like metaphors and similes that seemed mostly there to give the feel of an old classic mystery.
This story was definitely worth reading and I'll be looking forward to reading more especially Chris Stevenson's latest The Girl They Sold to the Moon as soon as the publisher decides to offer it in kindle format.
