I have discovered a great new author.  William Odays short story Shes Gone  really impressed me so I looked forward to other books by him.  I just finished The Darwin Protocol and I am not disappointed.  In fact, I am thrilled that I have discovered this author.  This book has an original (I think) plot with the US Government deciding that the population is out of control and making the decision to eliminate most of the worlds population.  There are several well-developed story lines and the characters were easy to believe.  The book was packed with adventure.  I am a former Green Beet and agree with another reviewer that I would have done things differently from the characters in the book   but I also know human nature and can picture people making the stupid mistakes that characters in the book make. I read the book in one sitting and cant wait to rea the next one in the series.

This is my first Ann Tatlock book, and she is a new favorite author!  I was very much drawn into the story, and blessed by it in so many ways. It was a delightful to find this author, and I look forward to reading more of her work!

Loved this book!  I think Catherine Ryan Hyde is my new favorite author.  I've read a couple of her books now, and loved them both.  She has a way of really bringing life to the characters.  I did not want this book to end.  I wish she would make a sequel to this book!

It is such a joy to come across an author I haven't read before who writes books that I enjoy so much. Loved the bad ass characters, the humor, just everything about the books. I am so excited that Book Three will be released next month. I usually like to switch genres between books but I couldn't do it this time. I just had to jump from Book One right into Book Two and I am learning another lesson in patience waiting for Book Three.

I absolutely ate up the Randall Lee series and it was NOT BITTER - it was fantastic! The characters were so real and perfectly developed you felt like they were old friends. The story was beautifully developed and presented (as were all the Randall Lee series), and the wisdom of the ages imparted with humor and deep insight into the human animal. I am anxiously awaiting the next in the series as I'm totally in love with Charles Colyott's writing style and quirky humor. I highly recommend all of the Randall Lee series. This story was more an insight into the man rather than an adventure book, but it was so well done and totally enjoyable. Author Colyott has established his street cred as far as I'm concerned and has become one of my fav authors.

This is my first Clifford Irving book but it won't be my last for sure.  I have found a new favorite author.  I'm just glad he's so prolific.  So well written.  I will recommend him to everyone I know that likes a good well-written read.  Hope he's busy writing more.  I don't want to run out of good books.

I feel so lucky and blessed to have come across this book and author. I should say one of new favorite authors. Form beginning to end the series is excellent. It is straightforward and clever. I appreciate so much that the author doesn't get you excited over something just to throw in a curve last minute and make you so frustrated. You will be so happy for all the characters while reading this. She is the most poetic author I have ever read and her dialogue was so loving it made me cry several times. I have a wonderful husband and she seemed to read my mind several times about my feelings for him. I forgot to say that it is Hot, Hot, Hot also. I love that it is set in London and kept thinking about one of my favorite movies Notting Hill. I am a fan forever!

I recently discovered this author and, boy, can this man write.  After reading his first book, I immediately bought this one and read it in two days.  His characters and story lines are believable and exciting.  From the very first page this author has captured my attention and I can't wait to start book #3 in this series.  I sure hope he continues to write many, many more books about McCabe and Savage.

Nick Russell has done it again!  I thought "Big Lake Lynching" was even better than "Big Lake" his first book.  I downloaded "Big Lake Lynching" as soon as it was available.  I sat down around three in the afternoon & read it from beginning to end.  I really enjoyed reading more about Sheriff Weber & his deputies.  Their characters are so believable, like people in real life.  I was glad he brought back FBI agent Larry Parks from his first book.  There were also plenty of "bad guys" some of them from "Big Lake" but he also added new ones.  Some of them seemed so real, I could have sworn they were people I already didn't like.  How Sheriff Weber maintains any kind of control of his emotions over these irritating, small minded people is amazing.  I grew up in a small town in Iowa & I can tell you, Mr. Russell captures life in a small town.  The events in "Big Lake Lynching" could happen almost anywhere.  The only thing I would have wanted was to have seen more strong female characters, not that it detracted from the book.  It was still a great read. I would recommend reading "Big Lake" before reading "Big Lake Lynching".  Congratulations, Mr. Russell, on another exciting book & I hope you plan to keep on writing more about the excitement of small town life in "Big Lake."  I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mysteries.

This is the first book I've read by Alan Russell and, based on "Burning Man", I'll go back and check out his previous works!  Plus, the way this one ends, it looks like a series is brewing!

Russell writes a very readable novel.  It's fast paced with lots of really interesting characters and plot twists.  The dialogue is extremely well written, with a lot of humor and introspection added to make it even sharper.  And if you like smart dogs, you're gonna love Sirius!

And while Gideon is definitely not Jack Reacher, he does have the gift of clarifying visions that come to him after nightmare-wracked sleepless nights spent trying to escape the fire that so severly burned both him and his four-legged best friend.  Gideon is involved in three fascinating and extremely divergent cases, and he needs all the help he can get to deal with them.

Highly recommended!!  NOTE:  I read the Kindle edition, not the paperback.....

Totally enjoyed this book. It makes me want to buy a place where I can build a storm shelter and stock up on guns and other worst case scenario supplies. Every bit engaging if not more so than all the other books of this genre. I am a huge fan of Russell Blake books and look forward to the next book in any of his series.

Sydney is quickly moving up the list of favorite writers. I am so engrossed with the characters I cannot wait to see what happens in their lives.  I'm off to start the next book right now. You won't go wrong purchasing any of her books. Happy reading.
