While this is the second book in this series, it does well as a stand-alone. This is an intense read with a lot going on, so bring your A-Game reading skills. There is a jump back in time about a third of the way into the book that gave some great information and clarified a … Continue reading Rise of Villains (The Anuk Chronicles Book 2) by Abdur R. Mohammed
Adventure
High White Sun by J. Todd Scott
This federal agent turned author impressed me with his first book and this, his second was the same level of intense prose and consuming read. The book picks up shortly after the first, The Far Empty, ended. However, I do think there are enough tie backs that you could read it as a separate book … Continue reading High White Sun by J. Todd Scott
The Last Titan by Craig Wainwright
I get asked, a lot, why I read Indie Authors when there are so many “proven” authors and best sellers out there. This book is one of the main reasons. The book was laid out and presented in a way that shows the time and effort this author dedicated into creating his book. He also … Continue reading The Last Titan by Craig Wainwright
Our Bloody Pearl by D. N. Bryan
This YA book, like its characters, is a unique mix of several genres. There is a bit of steampunk, adventure, budding romance, sirens, family relationships, and gender identification. I have been spending some time with the young teens in my life, while I was reading this and their responses to certain subplots have been amusing. … Continue reading Our Bloody Pearl by D. N. Bryan
The Dark Tides (Book 2) by Mark Piggott
I choose books to read for a variety of reasons. In my quest to be totally honest I said yes to reading this book solely because the author asked and when I read his bio I found out we were born in the same town in New Jersey! That small world moment gave me a … Continue reading The Dark Tides (Book 2) by Mark Piggott

Justifiable Homicide by Jeffrey Warren
I had the pleasure of meeting this author at the Tucson Book Festival. He greeted me by saying he had all 5 star reviews. So, the cynic in me came out. I rarely give 5 stars. In my eyes that’s perfect or pretty darn close and new Indie Authors writing 5 star books are rare. … Continue reading Justifiable Homicide by Jeffrey Warren
Shark Eater by K.D. McNiven
This is an adventure/action book and the story really keeps you moving at a quick pace. It reminded me of a Clive Cussler book. The book has almost two separate plots. The first is the story of Decker & Callie with salvager Dax and their search for a shipwreck from the 1500’s but the second … Continue reading Shark Eater by K.D. McNiven
