Jennie's Review The author approaches the legend of Billy the Kid from a refreshingly different angle. Stepping inside Billy's mind and imagining events from his perspective adds depth to a figure who has long been defined by myth as much as history. Blending well-researched facts with historical events, the novel feels authentic and richly textured … Continue reading Sing to Me Billy The Kid by Frances Bonney Jenner

Body Man: A Thriller by Al Pessin
Jennie's Review This one leans in hard—and I mean hard—to the “what if things really spiral?” question. Al Pressin delivers a deep dive into both sides of the American political divide without playing favorites. It’s a cautionary tale that feels a little too close to reality for comfort. Told from two points of view—both adult … Continue reading Body Man: A Thriller by Al Pessin
The Winter Verdict (Book 2) by Dan Buzzetta
Jennie's Review I’d barely caught my breath from book one when this sequel popped onto my radar—and honestly, I was ready for it. Familiar faces are back, but the setting? Total shift. We go from the high-powered buzz of D.C. to a small town wrapped around a ski resort, which definitely made me pause. Would … Continue reading The Winter Verdict (Book 2) by Dan Buzzetta
The Cardboard King by Chris Atkin
My Review Wait…you mean to tell me this author—who has absolutely mastered the memoir space—is casually stepping into historical fiction now? Color me intrigued…and yes, a tiny bit skeptical at first. I’ll admit, it took me a beat to reset my expectations. I’m so used to that warm, personal, “come sit by me and let … Continue reading The Cardboard King by Chris Atkin
The Hunted by Steven Max Russo
Jennie's Review Okay, full disclosure: the chores did not get done this weekend—but I read a great book, so priorities were clearly in order. From the very first scene, The Hunted had me hooked. The pacing moves fast and never lets up, making this one of those “just one more chapter” reads… until sleep finally … Continue reading The Hunted by Steven Max Russo
The Manipulator By Dan Buzzetta
Jennie's Review Let’s start with the good stuff. The Manipulator delivers plenty of drama, some delicious behind-the-scenes maneuvering (yes, the title absolutely earns its keep), and a steady dose of action. Dan Buzzetta clearly knows his craft—this is a professionally written book that moves smoothly and keeps the pages turning. Now for the not-so-great. The … Continue reading The Manipulator By Dan Buzzetta
Forensics IV Guilty Until Proven Innocent by Harry A. Milman, PHD
Jennie's Review What a great start to my reading for 2026. This author always makes me put on my thinking cap, leading to illuminating reads. This time, he outdid himself. Having read several of this author’s forensics books, I was surprised by the slight curveball he throws here—shifting the focus from proving guilt to examining … Continue reading Forensics IV Guilty Until Proven Innocent by Harry A. Milman, PHD
The Secrets We Kept by Lara Prescott
My Review Behind Every Great Book… Are the Women Who Typed It Who knew a typing pool could be this intriguing? This novel weaves together the lives of several women, all connected—however loosely—by one powerful book: Doctor Zhivago. The war is over, but instead of coming home to ticker-tape parades or opportunities, these women find … Continue reading The Secrets We Kept by Lara Prescott
Echohead by T. C. Waas
The first chapter of Echohead had me frozen—not with suspense, but with sheer confusion. It felt like the author was using fifty words when six might have done the trick—but for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out what those six words would have been. It was dense, poetic, and puzzling. Then I hit … Continue reading Echohead by T. C. Waas
