The Cobra Event: A Novel
The Cobra Event: A Novel

Review:I loved the Hot Zone. Tight writing, non fiction, with a scary message. I've heard the author speak, at the NIH, and was impressed. Finally decided to read The Cobra Event - a quick read, easy to follow, with what felt like facts interspersed - frightening ones, if true.

Review:I love the way Jayne Ann Frantz nee Castle weaves all her heroes and heroines from previous books into her latest book. The characters in her books become friends and family, so wonderful to catch up on their ongoing story. Read more

Hot Number (Hot Zone Book 2)

Review:This is my favorite book of the series!!! Micki is the tomboy of all the sisters but she is tired of being the buddy to all the guys. Damien is the smokin hot baseball player that Micki wants for her own. Micki throws Damien for a loop by changing from a tomboy to a knockout-and boy of it fun to see his reaction.

King of Thorns (The Broken Empire Book 2)

Review:A wonderful world; a carefully crafted, dystopian Earth in the far future, where the laws of physics have been altered to bring magic into the world. Muddy, bloody, raw and beautifully written. A 'hero'(???) I could empathise with, care for and hate in the same book. Well worth the read. Read more

Review:I was skeptical at first, because the book was free (get what you pay for, ya know?); but I really enjoyed it! It had the perfect balance of supernatural and crime suspense, the characters were likable, and the plot was well thought out. I look forward to reading more from the author. Read more
