Thriller
Not Dead by Anita Dickason
Let’s start with the cover – Eerie is the only thing I saw and for a little while I was not ready to open this book, being a bit of a scardey cat. However I should have trusted the author. While I started the book in daylight, I soon came to realize that eerie is … Continue reading Not Dead by Anita Dickason
The Coin by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra
As the Indie Author’s market is developing, I am seeing more and more books that appear just as professional as those coming out of the traditional publishing market. However most of the time the Indies have a better story and this is a perfect example of that. In the theme of great mystery authors, like … Continue reading The Coin by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra
The Fixer: The Last Romanov by Jill Amy Rosenblatt
The Last Romanov is the third in The Fixer series that is a fast-paced roller coaster read. The main character, Katerina can’t seem to catch a break.

This Side of Night by J. Todd Scott
This Side of Night is the third sequential book I have read by this author. That alone, considering how much I read, should give you insight into the level of how I enjoy his books. The author is a DEA agent, and his experiences have definitely added to the intense scenes he creates on paper. … Continue reading This Side of Night by J. Todd Scott
Nomad by Aaron S Gallagher
The characters that this author creates are always the draw for me. He has outdone himself in this book. The main character, Joshua or Nomad, is a good guy trying to do the right thing and looking for justice for his club (aka his family). While he is a “tough biker” inside, he is the … Continue reading Nomad by Aaron S Gallagher
The Strange By J. B Murray
Yesterday on Twitter I placed a Dear J. B. Murray note asking him to please include a warning on his book. Not that kind of warning – more along the lines of Readers Beware, please turn off your phone and clear your schedule before reading this – you will not want to be interrupted once … Continue reading The Strange By J. B Murray
Blood Ribbon by Roger Bray
This book is the Best in Thrillers winner of 2018 Book Talk Radio Club Awards. While this book definitely fits the thriller genre it has a nice benefit of not being gruesome. I would easily share this with a mature YA reader. Another benefit is that this book is a standalone and has a complete … Continue reading Blood Ribbon by Roger Bray
The Hard Goodbye By Chris Miller
I have read a few things by this author so I know that when I start one of his books I need a few things to be in place. Like daylight, someone close by, and a chunk of time because I won’t want to put it down. I took this read with me to the … Continue reading The Hard Goodbye By Chris Miller
Midnight Black – The Purge by R. J. Eastwood
I chose this book to end my year. Not because of closure but because of what I hope will lead to more great reads from this author in the coming year. A large portion of this quick paced book takes place in the main character’s mind. This unique perspective gives the reader insight that would … Continue reading Midnight Black – The Purge by R. J. Eastwood
