Thrillers & Suspense

Books 1 through 4 (The Alastair Stone Chronicles)
Books 1 through 4 (The Alastair Stone Chronicles)

Review:This is one of my top ten writers, because this series of books are great. It took me a while to get through all of the books. The reason for that is because they were so intense. I had to read other books in between, and then I would start reading this one again. The characters were exciting and very interesting. The story line was extremely entertaining and enjoyable.

A Crime Thriller Inspired By a True Story (The Good Lawyer Series Book 2)
A Crime Thriller Inspired By a True Story (The Good Lawyer Series Book 2)

Review:I thoroughly enjoyed this book , it was one that urged me to spend MORE time reading than I usually do. Though it's a courtroom novel and of course is predictable in that sense , it also contains some interesting twists one doesn't usually associate with legal thrillers. Read more

Review:I read this book two years ago and I still think about it from time to time. I read a lot, and it is a rare thing when a book stays with me this long. If you are a dog lover, this is definitely a must read!!! Read more

Legion
Legion

Review:This is the first Sanderson work I've read, and I didn't know what to expect. I loved the plot, the characterization, and the pacing. I'm definitely looking forward to reading other works of his now. Read more

Legion: Skin Deep
Legion: Skin Deep

Review:This novella is truly amazing. Sanderson's idea for Legion is one of the best I've heard off in years. The story is well paced and the aspect interactions are fun and interesting to read. I would recommend this book to just about every teenager on the planet. Read more

Think of a Number
Think of a Number

Review:I have found myself to be on a mystery novel kick of late and took the bait for Think of a Num3r after seeing it in my Amazon recommendations. I had high hopes for the book after reading the synopsis, especially with all of the glowing reviews from other writers I enjoy, but ultimately I was left unsatisfied. Loaded with elliptical prose and an excess of introspection for the protagonist (retired NYPD detective Gurney), the general impression was of an author trying too hard. There were certainl...

At the City's Edge: Chicago Crime Fiction
At the City's Edge: Chicago Crime Fiction

Review:I enjoyed Marcus Sakey's debut, THE BLADE ITSELF, so much that I rushed out and read his second book without thinking twice. But I must admit I was pretty disappointed with his sophomore effort.

AT THE CITY'S EDGE is well written (Sakey definitely knows how to write forceful, punchy prose) but the story has very little originality. In fact, most of the scenes and situations in this novel are recycled from other books and TV shows I have either read or seen. Jason Palmer, the tortured I... Read more

Into the Fire: A Night Prince Novel
Into the Fire: A Night Prince Novel

Review:This is my favorite series by her. It was fun and I love me some Ian but I was disappointed that there was no growth for Leila. It's the last book yet she doesn't come close to resolving anything with her family. Just kept stuffing everything and tabling it for later. If anything I think Vlad is starting to drag her down. It felt like Frost was rushing to end this and is passing off one of her cookie cutter books. Reminded me a lot of her earlier Cat & Bones books where the characters ... Read more

Something Wicked This Way Comes: A Novel
Something Wicked This Way Comes: A Novel

Review:Out of all of Ray Bradbury's prodigious gifts, perhaps none is greater than his ability to capture the true essence of childhood in a timeless manner. While his most prolific period is now four decades past, Bradbury's descriptions of the hopes and fears of childhood still strike a powerful chord; in particular, he is able to capture the fears of childhood from an adult's perspective, without in any way minimizing them.
In "Something Wicked This Way Comes" the reader is treated the pinnacle ... Read more
