THE ESSENCE OF DARKNESS – Tom Clearlake
I no longer request an ARC of a book unless something about the book (sometimes the author, sometimes the description, sometimes even the publisher) attracts me to the title. So it should go without saying that I genuinely want to like and enjoy each book that I read. Sadly, that is not always the case. Continue reading

THE DISPATCHER – John Scalzi
In the not too distant future, it will become nearly impossible to kill someone. 99.9% of the time, when someone is intentionally killed, they come back – their bodies disappear from where they were “killed” and reappear at their home, naked, in bed.

Former client, and actress, Dorine Witherspoon, is in town on tour Continue reading

THE CONSEQUENCES OF FEAR – Jacqueline Winspear

VULTURES – Chuck Wendig
How do you write a review of a Chuck Wendig novel? Answer: write a review as you normally would but periodically, after a description, add “with vengeance.” For instance: In Vultures, the sixth book in Chuck Wendig’s Miriam Black series, we find Miriam pregnant and that the The Trespasser has the ability to inhabit both Continue reading

NIGHT TIDE – Michael W. Sherer
I haven’t read too many action/adventure books, but mostly because I am not familiar enough with the genre to know what’s out there and worth digging in to. With that in mind I thought I’d give this a shot. Blake Sanders is our hero in this, the second book in a ‘Blake Sanders Thrillers’ series, Continue reading
