This is the third in a Christian Crime series. I have had the pleasure of reading all and they keep me on the edge of my seat. The book is intense with the drama revolving around two central characters. Verdugo, who is hunting and seeking vengeance on a sex trafficking group, and Berg, a Police … Continue reading Twisted Christian and Dark Blue Rising of the Foley Chronicles by Nathan Bush

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
Three-Fingered Jack Davis by D. J. Swykert
This is a story of drugs, dealers, users and the world that surrounds them. While I expected a gritty, dark and dreary story this book has some positive light elements going through it.

A Scribe Dies In Brooklyn by Marvin J. Wolfe
Mystery/Thriller This is Book 2 in the Rabbi Ben Series. At a point in the story, the main character, Rabbi Ben is referred to as Rabbi Jason for the Jason Bourne character. While this is true on a lot of levels I found Rabbi Ben to be a better developed person. The interweave of the … Continue reading A Scribe Dies In Brooklyn by Marvin J. Wolfe
The Changeling by Victor LaValle
Horror/Thriller This book was described as a modern day adult fairy tale with a thriller/suspense aspect. Well think about Fairy Tales - most of the original ones were pretty scary. Kids going into the woods, eating a candy house and being taken by a witch - definitely scary. This book was at the high end … Continue reading The Changeling by Victor LaValle
