Psychological horror at its best! I think that my skin is still crawling even after a shower. Nothing scares me more than egomaniacal narcissistic cult leaders that manipulate children, except maybe the other adults that help out. Barlow has written an absolutely horrifying novel about Jack Harper who was raised from the age of 7 … Continue reading Pivot: Book one of the Jack Harper Trilogy by L. C. Barlow

The Angel Street Assassination by Aaron S Gallagher
Bennett and DeMarko are at it again! If you are not a fan of Aaron Gallagher it is only because you have not read one of his books. Aside from the Jack Reacher and Harry Bosch series, this series is the best! This is the 5th in the series and the grittiest by far. The … Continue reading The Angel Street Assassination by Aaron S Gallagher
Marigolds and Murder by London Lovett
I really enjoyed this book! Just good old fashioned fun in a small coastal town where cute little shops, quirky people, bike rides, pumpkin growing contests, and people have crows for pets. Pink (Lacey Pinkerton) is the main character. She is in her late 20’s and has recently changed her career path. In her early … Continue reading Marigolds and Murder by London Lovett
Angry Betty by Jamie Lee Scott
I am going to start this review differently from the way I usually write - this is a great read, well written, can’t put it down, superb character development - BUT - and I mean a serious BUT - none of the plot strands in this book come to completion within this book. Although this … Continue reading Angry Betty by Jamie Lee Scott
Springtime for Murder by Debbie Young
If you are looking for a British cozy mystery, this is the book for you! Young’s writing is lightweight, with sweet characters, nasty bad guys, and some tangled mystery! Add to this a lovely British village, a dear Vicar, a retired doctor (the only doctor around), a huge manor house with a little old lady, … Continue reading Springtime for Murder by Debbie Young
The Last Ny-Failen by Wendy L. Anderson
This is the last book in Anderson’s Ny-Failen series. I would be remiss if I did not say that when you have loved a book series and it comes to an end, it somehow feels like you have lost a friend. Anderson’s work was my introduction to the world of fantasy. I will never forget … Continue reading The Last Ny-Failen by Wendy L. Anderson
Shadows of Doubt by Timothy R. Baldwin
In the second book in the Middle School series “Kahale and Claude Mystery”, the four friends from Camp Lenape, Alissa, Janice, Nate, and Marcus are back and involved in another mystery. I am always impressed with how Baldwin can write with such a complete understanding of life as a Middle Schooler. The mystery aspect of … Continue reading Shadows of Doubt by Timothy R. Baldwin
Past Due by Richard Stockford
I am going to start with the fact that I really liked the main character, Clipper, in this book! He is smart, a good guy, hard worker, dedicated and honest while being very skilled with a gun. I also really liked the “history” part of the story. The book is broken into two parts, the … Continue reading Past Due by Richard Stockford
Art Hound by Mike Faricy
Author Mike Faricy has written many books over the years won several awards and is an Independent Author who has sold lots of books, but the real reason I read this book is that I love art and am always up for a mystery about famous artists and their work. This book involves a painting … Continue reading Art Hound by Mike Faricy
Blue Moon by Lee Child
If you have been following me from the beginning, you know that I love Jack Reacher. I love characters with a set of beliefs and a code of behavior. I also love people who do right by the oppressed, weak, and downtrodden. Reacher is my man. In this latest book, Child has gotten more aggressive … Continue reading Blue Moon by Lee Child
