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
Thriller
Humpty Bumpty by Sam Cheever
Aside from the fact that pieces of a dead body are found in a wood chipper and spread around the site, this is a really fun cozy mystery. It isn’t graphic, so the gore is short and simply stated, but none the less hard to get around. Joey, recently orphaned at the age of 24 … Continue reading Humpty Bumpty by Sam Cheever
The Ex by Margaret Ferguson
I was so excited to receive the second book in the Rogue Warrior series. I had waited patiently for this having enjoyed the first so much - rather like waiting for Grisham or Child to hurry up and write another.

Past Tense by Lee Child
I love Jack Reacher. I think I am in awe of him. Everytime a new book comes out by Lee Child, I rush to get it. Some authors are just like that, but then when you finish the book (in one sitting because you can not put it down) you go into a kind of … Continue reading Past Tense by Lee Child
Time Bomb by Joelle Charbonneau
What an amazing book! Charbonneau has done a marvelous job of dealing with a currently very sensitive and timely subject - school violence. Her characters are well developed, the plot intense, and the setting - the average large high school - is very real. Each chapter focuses on the point of view of one of … Continue reading Time Bomb by Joelle Charbonneau
