PUMPKIN EATER – Jeffrey Round

Toronto P.I. Dan Sharp discovers a horrific scene in a burned-out building while working on a different case. The police give Sharp a hard time and hold him for questioning, but he’s not an unknown figure in law enforcement and ultimately realize he didn’t have anything to do with the crime. But it’s got Dan Continue reading

THE WITCH HUNTER – Max Seeck

In a wealthy suburb of Helsinki, Finland, the wife of a best-selling author is found dead sitting in her evening gown at the head of a beautifully set dinner table. It appears that someone is re-enacting the murders from the victim’s husband’s book The Witch Hunter, but as more and more bodies are found dead, investigator Continue reading

THE DELIGHTFUL HORROR OF FAMILY BIRDING – Eli. J. Knapp

I was immediately attracted to this book because the title pretty much defines me. I was raised by an avid birder and my older brother might rival author Eli J. Knapp for obsessive birder behavior and my own children might think of me as too obsessive for their tastes (if they only knew…). I am Continue reading

CHRONICLES OF STEELE: RAVEN – Pauline Creeden

Just like her father who trained her, Raven Steele is a ‘Reaper.’ A Reaper is an assassin, but one who lives by a very strict moral code, which can be remembered by it’s poem-like character: Human life has value. The poor living in the gutter are as valuable as the rich living in a manor. Continue reading

REV – Madeline Ashby

Huh. So … ReV. I found this to be a really interesting sci-fi look at artificial intelligence, taken to the next level – you know, sentient robots and all that scifi jazz. Really cool. But I sure as heck felt like I was missing something. Oh wait! I am missing something. As in, the first two books in Continue reading

DARK SKY – C.J. Box

Joe Pickett is a game warden in Wyoming and when the governor of the state asks him specifically to act as a hunting guide for a VIP, Joe agrees. That VIP is Steve “Steve-2” (because Steve Jobs is Steve-1) Price, a CEO of a Silicon Valley social media creation, ConFab, that is a cross between Continue reading

MONEY SHOT – graphic novel

It seems as though graphic novels have really pushed the boundaries when it comes to storylines and standards. Whether it’s hard core gore or hardcore sex, you can probably find it in a graphic novel somewhere. Money Shot leans toward the sex end of the spectrum, and while moderately graphic, it’s still a relatively tame sex story. Continue reading

RABBITS – Terry Miles

Have you ever been going along your day and for no particular reason suddenly noticed unique patterns in unusual places? For instance, it’s April 4th and you happened to look at your clock at the exact minute when it reads 4:44. Or perhaps you are convinced you know the name of a store you’ve shopped Continue reading

GREEK MYTHOLOGY – Liv Albert

I loved this book. There is no shortage of books about Greek mythology or featuring gods and goddesses pulled from the Greek (and Roman) myths, so to stand out in this field you really need to provide something unique to be a draw. Author Liv Albert manages to do just this and thereby provides a Continue reading

DOUBLE DEAD – Chuck Wendig

Coburn just woke up. Coburn has been asleep for the past five years (not strictly by choice, and he is now awake and hungry, and for someone like Coburn … a vampire … being hungry is not good for the rest of the world. Unfortunately, however, Coburn woke up to a world in which everyone Continue reading
