I loved Red Ibis, it was a great read, it is a tough book to put down after you begin reading.  Action in every chapter, interesting plot twists, and fantasticly interesting characters populate the story.  Dozier is a master story teller.  I am looking forward to his next book, hopefully in the not too distant future.

The world of Silexare is full of adventure! This book was hard to put down, as I constantly caught myself wondering what was going to happen next! I found these characters very relatable, and the descriptive writing made be feel as if I were there, in this adventure with them. I haven't been able to get lost in a book in a while, but I finally found one that took me away to another place! I look forward to many more adventures with Darke, Aedron, Tahk, and Brandal.

This was a wonderful little adventure / caper that took me places I've never been! Never a dull moment in this story, and so many adorable characters to meet and so many places to see!  Although I couldn't wait to get to the bottom of things, I didn't want the story to ever end!

I am very fond of the "Florida genre" of writing by Dave Barry, or other writers such as Tim Dorsey, Carl Hiasson, S.V.Date and I thoroughly enjoyed this one.  Barry captured the unique flavor of what goes on in Miami.  I am always happy to see a new book by a great writer.

Great book! I read it within three days, while vacationing in Santa Barbara. Despite my busy sightseeing schedule during the day, I could not wait to come home at night and read some more. Reading the story felt like savoring my favorite ice cream, hoping it will last as long as possible. If you like adventure books, you should definitely read this one. Look forward to the part 2 impatiently!

The authors really let their personalities and sense of adventure show through in a fun series of adventures in Costa Rica.  Two weeks in Costa Rica is a really entertaining read.  By the end of the book the reader can really feel the emotional connection the authors have for this amazing place.  I recommend this book to anyone looking to take a trip to Costa Rica, or just anyone looking read about a different way of living.

Delusions of Grandeur is an exciting, fast paced ride through the 1980s and 90s that I found both engaging and entertaining. It had a lot of action and drama and chapters really keep you turning the page to see what happens next. I loved the section in South beach since I live in Miami. The author got all of that just right. From there the book really takes off and is hard to put down. I really liked Charlotte the ultimate pushy stage mother. she was hysterical. Then of course Bryon and Alexandra the ill fated lovers.

  The second half of the story was better than the first in my opinion and by the last 20 pages I really was engrossed and stunned to discover the fates of the characters. This is a great book and I highly suggest it as a must read for summer fun and beyond.

Author, Iain Reading's vast geographical and other historical  knowledge and experiences shine through in yet a new adventure of the Kitty Hawk series !

In this appealing book, Kitty takes the reader through Canada, part of the US and mostly into the Florida Keys. Much interesting  information is given concerning the area around the "stops" Kitty makes. Upon her arrival in the Florida Keys, her parents meet her there for a short family vacation. After the family "vacation", Kitty is gifted a three day stay in an upper class motel, before her parents return to Canada. Her first unnerving adventure occurs after visiting the Home of Ernest Hemingway Tour. Before it is solved, she continues on to Fort Jefferson and the Dry Tortugas - just past the Florida Keys. Along with discovering the history of these wonderful new places, she experiences an even graver adventure that could be life-threatening!

The novel is written well with light humor. Written primarily for YA, I feel the profanity and other strong language is inappropriate for that age level.

The Book Cover and Title depict the story well and are eye-catching. The characters are quite well defined, although the "bad guys" dispositions seem too mildly portrayed..

This is the  first of an 18-month trip Kitty Hawk is beginning. I am sure more excitement and adventures will come! It will offer a good geography/history lessen to even most Adults

My review of this book offers a Four Stars rating.

*I was sent this book in exchange for an honest review, of which I have given.

I recently had the pleasure of reading Neptune's Trident, one of a series of stand alone books that follow the adventures of Astro and his super secret organisation of dogs. I have to say the author has put together a team of hilariously funny and likeable characters in this tale of adventure and intrigue.

I really enjoyed following along on this mission on the high seas... and below the seas too!

If you're an animal lover like me and enjoy adventure, you'll love this book by Susan Day! You'll also appreciate the fact that her website states the book is part of the "Giving Back" program, which says that profit from the proceeds of sales goes to the Australian Animal Protection Society!

So in that way, Astro and the gang really are helping to keep all animals safe! That's a really cool thing!

Really enjoyed Tiffany Blues!  The relationship between Flo and Clara can only put a smile on your face - and remind you about exciting adventures taken with your own friends!  Especially loved the references to NJ locations and the hints to eat a bit a chocolate every day.  The descriptive narrative was very well developed which allowed me to easily visualize the story.  Well done!

Great adventure with a cast of characters true to the buccaneers of the Golden Age of Piracy! But you will see a distinct difference between the good and the bad...with a twist! You become fast friends with the lead characters and then the adventure grabs you.  Now on to Book 2 Treasure of Time!
I hope Michael writes book 3 fast!!

Do you read for sheer pleasure as I do? If yes, then get this book.
Outstanding writers banded together to produce uniquely Florida flavored escapeism. After a short while you can smell the jungle growth, salt air,  Cuban coffee, and hot streets of this tropical asylum.
The characters  could only exist in that humid overgrown place. The politics are an odd  marriage of Miami/Havanna. The manatee is unusually thoughtful and an  activist. The love interests pay dues to senior citizens.
Its a fun ride  through swamps, newspapers, mansions, swamp shacks, and assorted bad guys.  The good guys have that Key West attitude of "If you don't like the  way I live then don't watch and don't participate."  Give yourself a  wonderful treat, sit back, make a snack and go to it.

I absolutely loved going on an adventure with the characters in this book! It is such a cool story and I loved the adventure and action, all the back stories and history of the characters as well as a little romance... I love that it gives me closure to this story but at the same time leaves it open for more adventures! i have and would recommend this book!

What a fun adventure!  Ms. Horan has created a story with innovative magic similar to  Harry Potter novels and the suspense of the chase around locations like a Dan Brown novel.  I know I'm not the demographic for this novel, but I think anyone would enjoy the fun of watching the trio of adventures on their quest.  I look forward to the next one!

This Midwestern girl loved taking a trip to Key West again via An Appetite for Murder.  Key West is such a fun and quirky place to go visit with so many restaurants to explore, and oddities to experience.  An Appetite for Murder took me to many of my favorite places such as BO's Fish Wagon, along with the twists and turns in the life of the main character Haley Snow.  I was captivated right away with the story and the character development. I am looking forward to the next book about Haley's adventures in Key West.
Another treat in reading this book was the food reference quotes at the beginning of each chapter. I loved them.

Vic Waters has done for the southeast coast of Georgia what Carl Hiaasen did for south Florida - created a wonderfully entertaining story acted out by colorful characters, filled with intrigue, topped off with a little romance.

I grew up in Brunswick and it was so easy to envision every scene, so much so, that I swear I could smell the salt marsh.

I hope there will be a sequel because I hated for it to end.
