Review: Shadow Men: It Should Have Been An Easy Kill

Shadow Men: It Should Have Been An Easy Kill by Dan Westerlin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

First I would like to thank Dan Westerlin for donating the proceeds of the e-version of Shadow Men to the Navy Marine-Corps Relief Society and Arts in the Armed Forces. I received this book through Goodreads in a generous giveaway. What I liked most about the book were the characters that seem so lifelike. Plus the story coincides with many of the political themes our society is playing roles in at any given moment, like the Mexico/US board, the middle east, terrorism, human trafficking, protestors, news reporters spreading fake news and our elite armed forces that are given the orders to kill on command. The only thing I think that could be improved is to have more details added to the overall story, make the reader feel more of what is happening in the story.

Review: COYOTE

COYOTE by Kelly Oliver
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I'm a sucker for strong women I can relate too in a story. Jessica James is one of those characters that you feel attuned too right from the very beginning. With her kind robust outlook on finding the culprits that have done wrong to others she is relentless in her search and prosecution of those responsible for their wrongdoings that caused the death of her friend and the human trafficking going on in her home state of Montana. I like the fact that the author speaks out about such atrocities that are happening in America at present, from the exploitation of young girls in the sex trafficking, the constant rape of our natural resources taking place by the use of fracking and the people who make profits more important than human lives. This book kept me so captivated from start to finish I was able to finish in a few hours.

Review: Runes of Issalia Complete Boxed Set: An Epic Fantasy Adventure

Runes of Issalia Complete Boxed Set: An Epic Fantasy Adventure by Jeffrey L. Kohanek
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I received a copy of Rogue Legacy from Goodreads by author Jeffrey L. Kohanek, I was hooked on the story and the fantastic characters, so it was natural for me to want to read the first three books in this series which I was able to download from Amazon in the form of a box set. Each book is a stand-alone story but being able to read all four books in a row was a real pleasure. I think YA books such as these provide excellent inspiration for our youth of today.
Where the is a will, there is a way!

Iran is a melting pot of extremes, so when a passenger plane makes an unscheduled landing at a remote off limits airport things start going very wrong for computer analyst Zachery Miller when he is detained for questioning. With only his wits he escapes thus begins the journey back to his homeland. Loved this none stop story that had me up late to finish it, I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good spy book. It was good from start to finish. Is there a sequel in the works?

Review: Three Days Missing

Three Days Missing by Kimberly Belle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Superb writing, a must read for all parents with children. Most of us do not realize that bullying starts at a very young age. If this world is ever going to get better, we need to stop the labeling and brushing specific negative behavior under the rug. From page one I was drawn into the drama unfolding when a smart young boy named Ethan goes on a camping trip only to go missing. With each page, we learn that things are not as pleasant for Ethan at school as his mother was informed. With a specific male student doing his best to make Ethan's life a living hell all because he was smarter than the other children his age. Will we as a human race ever be able to remain unobjective about other individuals differences?

Review: Exit Strategy

Exit Strategy by Charlton Pettus
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Pure anonymity was a subject I never thought about until this book. We have all heard of the witness protection program, so we are all familiar with people who start over with a clean set of credentials. But what about the people who change their identities but then change their minds and want their old life back? In this tale, you'll find genuinely ingenious ways that two people can communicate. Once I got over the awkward start, I was thoroughly engrossed in how these two people were ever going to get back together again against so many obstacles. Will love concur all? Can the villains keep them apart? Is there anyone they can trust? Trust no one

Review: Your Body is My Prison

Your Body is My Prison by Oksana Leslie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In this Syfy kinda paranormal alien themed novel we find a young girl whose body seems to be the prison for an entity from another planet that had committed the crime of murder. While the book lacked the fine tuning of say a Jeffery Deaver or other such author who has published many novels, this book still had the structure that I was able to find enjoyable. Some of the best writing was about fate and how people make some off-hand comments about wanting more rest.. boom next thing you know that person is now in a coma... or how you want your life to be more exciting... what could be more exciting than meeting an alien. I look forward to seeing what this author has next to offer us... maybe a series?

Review: Blood Vow

Blood Vow by J.R. Ward
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I liked the two stories that intermingled in the book but found them to be a distraction that made it hard for me to get into the groove of the book. The highs and lows were too extreme for me. You have two sexy intelligent vampires having these crazy sex scenes and they were back to a twelve-year-old girls adoption process. Maybe if I had read the first book it might have made a little more sense to me. But the fighting was minimal and these vampires are not vicious. It was like a daytime soap opera for the bold and batty vampires with their uber-wealthy and then the street thugs. Not my cup of tea but it has some good potential for a long-running series. Thanks for letting me have a copy of this for my honest review here on Goodreads.
