Review- Hot Pursuit by Stuart Woods




Review- Hot Pursuit by Stuart Woods





Available at Amazon 

Santa Claus kindly brought me a copy of Stuart Woods’ page turning thirty third installment of the Stone Barrington series.  I love this series and the character of Stone Barrington. Stone is dynamic, intelligent and shrewd and highly likable despite being a lady killer without even trying . The story is rich with details that could happen in the political climate of today. Stone and his connections take him into political intrigue as his friend, the latest president of United States; Kate Lee takes over her position. We as a reader get to see the security forces at work and because of Stone’s close connections to the parties involved the connections to him. We also get to see Stone’s life as he picks up his new airplane and meets yet another beauty and stumbles into trouble rescuing said fair maiden.  I have to admit I also love the nod out to my fair city London, Ontario in the book. This was a very enjoyable read. 
I give this book    4***** stars out of 5*****

Review- Order of the Dragon ~Book 1 in the Warbler Peninsula Series

Review- Order of the Dragon ~Book 1 in the Warbler Peninsula Series  

by Siobhan Muir
Available at Amazon http://amzn.to/1lJSE2p


      

      Order of the Dragon is first and foremost a love story between two beings. Coming together is never easy for anyone and this couple doesn’t have it easy either. I truly enjoyed the word play between the two. Siobhan is a gifted storyteller who sucks the reader into the world of the protagonist and makes you want to turn every one of those pages to find out what comes next.

In the book the main character says “Oh, the story’s not finished. The best stories never are.”, and its true about this story. Siobhan leaves you wanting more of the tale. A truly enjoyable tale, with heat to spare.

Review - The Blacker Death


Available at Amazon 

Review - The Blacker Death

By Larry Enright


        Bam Williams is a FBI agent, smoker, near retirement. He has an ex-wife and two grown kids, whom he hardly see because his life is the job. On the job all hell breaks out as his partner Billy Driscoll is suspected to have come in contact with EBOLA. Soon Philadelphia is in fear as Ebola spreads and Bam works behind the scenes to find out the source and try and stop it before it spreads further.  What follows is a thriller of the highest order. A rollercoaster ride, as we follow Bam in a compelling believable modern horror story.

      I truly enjoyed this book and the character of Bam Williams is a very likeable protagonist up against a terrifying unknown villain.  This is a story that could be ripped from the headlines that take the readers on a wild ride to its stunning conclusion.  I only hope that Mr. Enright will write another Bam Williams, FBI book, so we can enjoy this delightful character once more.

Embryo 5- Silver Girl Review



Embryo 5- Silver Girl Review

  This book Embryo Five -Silver Girl is a little different than the other five, somehow it seems a little darker, a little sadder, than the other four. The story begins with the murder of an actress friend of Jill’s and David’s, one Jody Merrill. Jody had touched David and Jill. Her sad life before she became an actress had drawn her to the warmth and family life that David, Jill, Jesse and the other interns had. David and Jill are devastated at her lost and strive to help the police find her murderer.

This book has a solid story and an interesting plot which pulls the reader along at a satisfying pace. The reader is captivated by the young family of David, Jill and the miracle child Jesse as he grows and blossoms and by the gripping twists and turns as we solve the murder right alongside of Jill and David. A very satiating read in the simply brilliant Embryo series by J. A. Schneider.

Review - Embryo 4- Catch Me

Review - Embryo 4- Catch Me


Available at Amazon  http://www.amazon.ca/CATCH-ME-EMBRYO-Levine-Thriller-ebook/dp/B00NFZK7P0

    If you haven't read books one through three your missing part of the story and I suggest you read them as they give you the back story of Jesse the miracle baby. Besides they really are wonderful reads. 

   Jesse the baby that was grown and farmed in a fake womb is about to celebrate his birthday with a big conference and party with doctor’s coming from around the world. Jill and David are not happy about it, but they know scientifically necessary to parade Jesse in front of the world before they can celebrate his birthday in their little family. The reader sees more of Jesse’s development. Their hospital jobs as doctors bring them in to the sphere of a killer.  ‘The Couple killer’ sees David and Jill and wants to best them. He taunts David and the police with ‘Catch me’.  What follows is a cat and mouse game between the illusive killer and David and Jill.


The attention to detail and the medical jargon that the author uses make this story a book worth reading. An action packed thriller that keeps you glued to the pages as you wonder how far this killer will go to achieve his twisted mind’s ends. A very enjoyable read.

Review- God's Buried Children by Daniel Farcas

I was given a copy of this book for an honest review.

Review- God's Buried Children by Daniel Farcas




Available at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MBU7I66

The author assures me the proceeds going to  www.MyAmericanKids.com an organization that helps immigrant children

                              Review: God's Buried Children by Daniel Farcas


   A heartbreaking gritty true life story of growing up in Bucharest orphanage, unwanted, unloved and tortured by the very people who were supposed to protect him. Daniel is brutally honest about his escape and further life on the streets, and in the underground; existing and coping with the horrors of everyday life as a child beggar. You see through that child's eyes, the true account of what happened to him and the other children. 
   This account will make you cry for the child, Daniel and others, who were never allowed to be children and make you hope and pray no child should ever go through this again. But it is also a story of eternal hope and resilience even in dark times and Daniel’s ultimate strength and survival to carry on and achieve a voice for those children with this account. Please note though that this book could have used an editor it is still an exceptional story.

3 Stars out of five

Devil’s Nightmare Premonitions-Review

Devil’s Nightmare Premonitions-Review


I was lucky enough to receive an advance copy of this book Devil’s Nightmare Premonitions. I had read the previous book in the series and enjoyed every moment of it.




    Two years have passed since Aaron Sanders retired from the Austin Police Department after what the media has called The Saint Hedwig Massacre. Adam decides to make a new life away as a cop away from the tragedy and moves his family to a sleepy small town in Lost Maples. Something has relocated with his family however as Aaron is once again caught in the middle of a mysterious investigation that has an eerie familiarity. Aaron is certain he knows what it is but is he?
In Devil’s Nightmare Premonitions the reader taken on a journey through spine-tingling situations also delves into the character’s minds. We get to know more about Aaron and his family as Cody is threatened yet again. As the reader I found myself scared, shaken and transfixed with horror as I continued to read the gripping conclusion.
I give this book

4 and 1/ 2**** out of 5 *****
