Jar of Hearts

Review:Jar of Hearts is about three best friends, Angela, Georgina, and Kaiser- one was murdered, one is in prison, and one is searching for answers.

The Book of the Dead (Agent Pendergast series)

Review:I have all the Preston-Child books, and while all have been superb, This one surpasses them all. The level of intensity was so strong that at times, I had to stop, and say to myself ""This is just a book; it's just a book" . There are two plots: the first is the arrangement of an Egyptian tomb, with all the requisite cursors and warnings. However, Diogenes takes control,, and, disguised as a curator, and changes the lights a to a level which produces insanity. Prendergast, in prison due to... Read more

Cemetery Dance (Agent Pendergast series)

Review:I like both these authors, having discovered them less than a year ago. Just finished reading this novel and it was gripping and fascinating. Even tho it was fictional, it was interesting to read that there is a part of Manhattan Island that is almost uninhabited and has been for centuries, etc. The fictional accounts of the zombiis, etc., were ALMOST on a par with stephen king and dean koontz in their early days --- not quite as good, but it kept my interest.

I would give this book, a... Read more

Brimstone (Agent Pendergast series)

Review:I have been reading the Pendergast books since Relic came out. I have been pestering my parents to read these books ever since. For my father's birthday last year, I finally broke down and sent them the audiobooks to get them started. Now they are both hooked. Brimstone is probably my favorite book in the series, and my mother is reading it now. we check in every morning to see where she is in the story. I have loved these books and the characters have become friends in my quiet moments. N... Read more

The Informationist: A Vanessa Michael Munroe Novel

Review:Vanessa "Michael" Munroe is a dark loner, gifted in language acquisition, physically and mentally tough, but also very troubled. She is hired to get information and succeeds, and the reader is both fascinated with the quest and dying to know what Michael has learned. I love the cultural and political details as Michael travels throughout the world. She is a protagonist worth reading about and following! Be prepared for some sleepless nights as you can't put the book down! Read more
