Adversary -  Awesome read!

After the events in Minder, Maddie and her friends had been training hard. With the Sons of Adam constantly trying to kidnap or kill them, they needed to learn to work together, control thier powers, and to protect themselves. But nothing could have prepared them, for what was about to happen. Loved ones were hurt, missing, kidnapped or lost. Their lives were changed forever.

The author stayed true to her characters, because, after everything that happened, I still believed them to be teenagers. They didn't have a miraculous growth in confidence or insight. They didn't become indestructable and more focused. Instead, they still had their insecurities and confusions. Thier concentration was often interrupted with thier own sexual desires and they were far from being indestructable, but worked hard on strengthening thier weaknesses.

Maddie had always been a leader, but she always had Dr. Williamson, to help guide her and make the final decisions for her. Now, she was thrusted into the position, of making the final decisions and was often second guessing herself. Fortunately, she had Trevor and her freinds to support her. I loved that Maddie and Trevor had a deep connection and that thier relationship was something more intimate, than that of physical sex. But more important, I believed it. Maddie's mother did too. I thought it was very clever of the author, to use Maddie's telepathy, as a way for the reader, to experience the various perspectives, of the surrounding characters. It helped me related to Maddie's mother and her inner struggle, to protect her daughter or support her daughter. I also loved that the mother was a little quirky for being a therapist. Her showing love by food, getting pissed off at Trevor for cooking in her kitchen, then relaxing when she realized, he was feeding her daughter. That was just too cute. I also thought, the new and powerful G-positive, Zack added an interesting dynamic to the group. He happened to be a charm, who could persuade most minders and was incrediable at blocking them. He liked Maddie, but in his determination to impress her, he alienated her, and spark an anger in Trevor. Also, we meet Dr. Williamson's lawyer and alumni G-postive, Nick Coleman. I hope to see more of them in Legacy.

The world that the Kate Kaynak created, was very believable and the plot frighteningly crediable. I absolutely love the author's ability to use irony. The idea ,that one of the most powerful G-positives leading an occult bent on eliminating all G-positives, wasn't lost on me. I also thought it was interesting, that in trying to kill Isaiah, a friend betrayed Maddie and almost killed the one person, who could actually kill Isaiah.

Overall, I loved this book. Personally, I didn't think, it was possible, to like it better than the Minder. It is a rare occasion, when I am at a lost for words. As I finished the last page and closed the book, my mind was racing. I had felt a wide range of emotions, that I couldn't even begin to express. My mind was too busy, reflecting on all that happened throughout the book, and all the possibilites of what would happen in the next. The author did it again! Adversary had taken hold of me, and didn't let go, even after the book was closed. If I was asked, "What Young Adult series would I recommend?", The Ganzfeild Novels would be it. I look forward to the next installment, Legacy.

A wonderful book and a quick read!  Once I started I couldn't put it down.  It reminds me of Frank Peretti's books dealing with spiritual warfare. I highly recommend this book and I can't wait for the next one!

Great topic and great read.  I enjoyed the suspense and intrigue while highlighting our current challenges with privacy, identity theft, and corporate and government cyber spying.  Looking forward to the next book!

Divisible Man is fantastic! This fast-paced adventure had me hooked at the first chapter after which I found the book difficult to put down. Seaborne has a style that reminded me of another favorite author - Richard Bach. Like Bach, Seaborne has a talent for producing a hero I want to meet in person and trade stories with over a couple drinks on the front porch. Refreshing, engaging and thrilling, Divisible Man was a great escape from the daily grind and I cannot wait to dive into the next volume "Divisible Man, The Sixth Pawn"! Highly recommended!

The battle of good vs evil continues in this great book, by Frank Peretti! This one reads like a science fiction novel. I won't spoil it, by giving away too many details, but picture elements like killer fungi, and floating golden orbs. It was fun! You definitely need to read the first several books, before reading this one. I'm looking forward to book 7!

From the very beginning you're drawn into this story. It was extremely captivating and exciting. Dustin Stevens really takes you on a journey towards justice, and you just can't put the book down until justice.. is served. I love how it was truly "good vs. evil". Normally you'd just expect that good will win, otherwise, what kind of novel would it be(?) but very early on you realize it won't be that easy. Although Shane Laszlo's team has right and law on their side, they really have to fight for this case. Shane, and therefore Dustin Stevens, is extremely good with words and knows how to bring out the right reactions and emotions, not just from the jury in court, but from the reader as well.
It's one of the best books I've read in a while.

Loved reading this book. The ongoing battle of good and evil in the arena that Mr. Degree creates is far from the usual.  I instantly connected to the plight of the main character.  The delivery and flow of the story made me feel like I was there as it unfolded.  Plenty of action.  Lots of twists.  Definitely unpredictable.  Be prepared to do some soul searching as each turn of the page brings on situations that make you ask yourself what you would do.  Vengeance was a thoroughly enjoyable read.

I thoroughly enjoyed Con's story -- one of the best books I've read all year. Con is a very real-life hero, intelligent enough to think before reacting. He accepts that the heroine, Val, isn't a ninny but rather an independent woman who just needs a helping hand. I adored Con and can't  wait for Sean's story! Hurry up September!

One man fighting against a system protecting the guilty. Investigators who don't do what they are paid to do, that one man takes matters into his own hands to force the police to recognize what justice demands - to catch the murderer of his wife. Really thrilling, lots of twists and turns, and surprises. Kept me on the edge of my seat to the end!

It is possible to detest an unreliable narrator and love the book!  With a little background/experience in psychology I could see from the beginning that our protagonist here was a narcissist at the very least.....don't let him fool you into thinking he's just being nice.  Every time I thought I knew what was coming next, it changed! Highly recommend to any fan of thrillers.

I got books 1 through 3 with a promo offering. This author loves to give lots of detail on the character's thought process and profile which for me, drew me into the story. By the end of book 3 I knew I was hooked. For this read, I loved how the author showed more from the enemy's perspective.  No attempt was made to "flower things up" and I especially appreciated the variety of tactics used by all sides to win a fight.  At various points, I had trouble guessing what was going to happen next which was a plus in my mind. I'm looking forward to learning more about the other races revealed in this book. This will be a great series for me to continue following.

Action packed, interesting characters face challenges and change for better or worse. Hard decisions have to be made and battles won with clever strategies. The book beautifully continues on the first and starts moving the plot lines in more intersecting ways and it really keeps the reader's attention. Even the bad guys are given enough back story to be well developed and add to the pace and depth. Excited to read the next one!

Mathijs did wonderfully with this book. He covers many different controversial topics with an open-minded tone and lots of facts to back up his claims and beliefs. It got me interested in many things I hadn't thought twice about before, and held my attention to the very last page.

It's a great read, and I really like how he challenges the things that most people just take as fact (like I did). It really provokes the reader to continue the investigation that he started, it was a real joy to read!

Viable Threat by Julie Rowe is the first installment in the Outbreak Task Force series.
Viable Threat is a fast paced thriller - romance who had me at the edge of my seat while reading.

And Dr. Ava Lloyd, she's with the CDC as microbiologist. Both get paired up and there is this crazy insta-chemistry.
But the clock is ticking and people are dying . Nobody knows if they will be successful.
They race against time and terrorists evil.
This book has it all, a great story, wonderful characters and emotions.
I greatly enjoyed reading Viable Threat and can't wait till the next book.
5 Stars and Thank you Julie Rowe!

Loved the characters and the fast paced action. The characters are flawed people as we all are, and are relatable, yet have some of the courage we all possess if we desire to use it, which makes many of the situations exciting! I'm not sure I agree with some of the interpretations of some Scripture, but that is a small thing, because the Doctrine is correct.  No matter how one looks at it, The Lord's return WILL happen! Exciting book......bring on the next one, I'm ready to read it!

Loser Takes All by Kora Knight is a great read, I give it 5 stars! Tad has to pay up a debt made to three jocks who had no problem beating him as payment.  He too the less damaging option of getting flogged.  While with Scott he begins to realize that what he thought was going to be something to endure was actually pleasurable.  Not to mention that he was also immensely enjoying the attention he was getting from Scott, even though he was confused by his enjoyment.  This session with Scott opened Tads mind to begin questioning things he thought he knew about himself.  I totally and completely recommend this book and look forward to getting the others written by a great author!
