I loved this. My heart was in my mouth as I turned the pages and I didn't notice the time go by. The twist was great. I am anxious to read more by this author. I wish it was longer. Is there a sequel?

Deadly Deceit is the first novel by Karen Randau so I wasn't sure what to expect. What I found was a well written fast paced suspense thriller. I wasn't expecting as good a book as this turned out to be. This is a standalone with a soft cliffhanger for the next book in the series. This is the first book in the Rim Country Mysteries series and I can't wait to read the next book.

The book blurb adequately describes the storyline so I'm not going to repeat that all of that info here. The author did a good job of setting the stage and describing locations and events. The characters are multi-dimensional and well written. There are a lot of clues in the storyline that keep you guessing what twists and turns will be revealed next. Enough to keep me riveted just to see how it ended. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down until I finished it.

I was gifted a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

The Girl With no Past by Kathryn Croft is a 300 page thriller, full of suspense and turns that kept me guessing through every single page. Although, when I went to write this review, I couldn't remember a single thing about the book and had to go back, I didn't mind because I knew that as I read the book, I was completely engrossed (the kind that makes me ignore phone calls from folks I haven't spoken to in ages and conversations of my children). Published in 2015 by Bookouture, this psychological thriller focuses on Leah and an incident in her past that is fast threatening to catch up with her. Stalked by an unknown stranger, someone who knows her darkest secret, Leah locks herself away with no one--well, one someone--to help her. It isn't until the mystery stalker makes his/her presence known that Leah figures out why her life is systematically being destroyed. Gripping, chilling, smart, with a heroine I couldn't quite love, didn't have a real reason to hate,  this is one of those books that kept me on the edge of my seat, turning page after page until I knew the truth. This author has a way  of drawing the reader in while guarding the secrets closely for the big reveal at the end.  I can only give it 4 stars because though I read other books this weekend, I had to go back and look up the details I'd forgotten.

I highly recommend this book.  It's a rare blend of page-turning suspense with a very smart storyline about mysteries from the past and future.  You'll constantly wonder what's real and what's imagined.  The characters are deep and well developed.  I've read and enjoyed many thrillers from the usual suspects--Dan Brown, Robert Ludlum, Michael Crichton, etc.--but this was the first one that I kept on my shelf after finishing.  I certainly hope there's a sequel.

On the whole, I enjoyed this fine suspense read. The author does an excellent job with a unique plot and also his characters.
The protagonist, however, Detective Carl Morck, does not come across as someone the reader likes very much. His supporting staff, Rose and Assad, are intriguing and much more likable. Assad, unexpectedly, for me, ends up being a favorite in this cast.
Good suspense, and I look forward to reading more by this author.

Pollack has crafted a marvelous well plotted novel keeping the reader rapidly turning every suspense filled page. The beginning with Paul and D.A. almost made me put it down. Their superficial relationship quickly devolved and put Paul in the forefront of protagonists out to rescue the hostages with the movie star Amanda becoming his major concern.

I really enjoyed this book. It got my attention from the beginning and held it until the end. The author kept the characters moving and although at times I knew what was coming, there were twists. I liked the moments of humor and the sarcastic interaction among the main characters. Overall I would certainly recommend this as a good suspense read.

Pretty good thriller - I liked this book. Lots of suspense surrounding the identity of the killer, what motivates him and the erratic behavior of the lone survivor; guilt feelings and fighting an uphill battle against disbelief on the part of the authorities.

This is a gripping thriller, with sprinkles of young adult action and romance thrown into the mix for good measure.

Ava, a happily married woman with two sons, is suddenly thrust into an impossibly scary scenario where her husband files for divorce, gets temporary custody and starts poisoning the local community against her. Told from the points of view of Ava, her eight-year-old adopted son, her husband, Ava's attorney and the child psychologist, the story grabs you with both hands and drags you in so quickly you can't stop.

The changing points of view with the pacy yet lyrical writing style and fast-moving plot combine to bring an explosive suspense thriller. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed this book. The author has a gift for prolonging the suspense, and keeping the reader from putting down the book. Love the fact that there is no profanity.

This is a fantastic mystery/thriller that kept me glued to my Kindle.  The story starts out by introducing us to Miriam; a complex young woman with a dark secret.  Soon after, Miriam meets with detectives Colin and Peter whom she opens up to.  As we delve further and further into Miriam's past, the plot takes a much sinister turn.
The Movement is very well-written.  The characters are complex, and the dialogue is realistic.  If you like crime-fiction, mysteries, and suspense, you will enjoy this book.

I really enjoyed this action packed suspense romance. It was quite a thriller and I was totally surprised with the twist at the end. The heroine was a tough woman who was not afraid to express her faith.  I loved the fact that her faith made a huge impact on the hero. I totally enjoyed it and will read more from this auhor.

Suspenseful thriller describes this book well and living up to that through the entire book is no small accomplishment  Ms. Regan portrays her characters so well you even have sympathy for her killer antagonist.  The plot does not disappoint and the numerous twists within the plot are well done,  "Aberration" is a very good read. As soon as I finished I recommended it to my fellow Kindle book addicts.

Great thriller that keeps the suspense high.  Follow Dan Flaherty and Jim Dieter as they make their way to where Jim's father buried millions worth of gold - all while being chased by the Vatican, British, and French governments. The cat-and-mouse game was so well put together. Very early on you realize that anyone can die, so I was often on the edge of my seat as the slew of special operatives get closer and closer to Dan and Jim's location.  All of the characters have a very distinct feel to them, and though you only meet some for a short amount of time, the voice they emulate through their dialogue is never bland and generic. and it's fun to read Dan and Jim's witty banter back and forth. The only mega downside is that the story has a lot of typos, many of which are simple to find and fix. However, the unique and thrilling storyline is definitely worth it. If you are a fan of thrillers, or you like your books to be as exciting as a movie, this is your book.

This well-crafted suspense novel follows Dr. David Rothberg as he assesses whether Victor Janko, the Baby Carriage Killer, is ready for parole.  David has a difficult challenge since the potential for dangerous behavior is difficult, if not impossible, to predict.  Jankos girlfriend, Daisy, complicates the plot, as does a devious prison guard.  This fast-paced thriller has  lots of surprises and will keep you guessing right up until the end. I read the book in two days.  A great read!  I loved it.
