Review: Where the Dead Lie

Where the Dead Lie by C.S. Harris
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In this world, evil people have always preyed upon the weak and in this book, Viscount Sebation Devlin does what he does best and that is bringing the evildoers to justice. With the aid of his surgeon friend and his wife Hero, they embark on the trail of the wealthy culprits who have been brutally torturing and killing the street youths abandoned when their parents were sent to Botany Bay for their crimes. Sebastian finds that five copies of the book "120 Days of Sodom" written by the Marquis de Sade has been smuggled into the country and that the story within its pages is being played out in London. I loudly applaud this tale for its reminder that we need to seek out those who do evil and bring the perpetrators to justice, no matter how big their wallet is, or to whom they are related to.

Review: Quaker's War

Quaker's War by Jason Born
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I can remember listening to my fifth-grade teacher Mrs. Hall reading to us the story of Johnny Tremain who was a young apprentice to Paul Revere. At that moment I became a huge fan of historical novels, and this story by Jason Born has found a place on that bookshelf as well. From the beginning to end the young Ephraim a runaway Quaker, who has been tasked by his employer to follow the young George Washington to the French forts in the Ohio Valley to ask them to leave. In this tale, we meet the Iroquois half king, and together they track down and kill a young French officer who had murdered Ephraim's wife, their unborn child and his father-in-law. This act is the catalyst that started the seven-year Indian war. I am looking forward to the next installment of this exciting tale in our American history.

Review: Nova Episodes: Survivalism

Nova Episodes: Survivalism by Shaawen E. Thunderbird
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In this doomsday scenario, the earth breaks up, and the survivors face rebuilding a world where individuals have telekinetic powers and can heal their bodies. This SyFy series is off to a great start with its unique characters. Loved the humor and I look forward to seeing what is in the future for this crew of fighters.
