This book is another amazing read, tho I liked the Town of Grisworld ( book 3 of Berkeley streets ) slightly better. Again, like with his previous books from the same series, ( except book 2, I liked it way least )  I was literally hooked from start to finish. Was so intrigued to know what happens after every chapter that I literally spend all my free time reading, always on the edge of my seat,  cant put it down!   5 stars still even if the character Courtney was still hanging around Shane ( never really liked Courtney in particular for main protagonist Shane Ryan, even though she is nice but the super big age difference between Shane and her is still kind of disturbing  sorry!  ) Another thing I liked is the bonus scenes after every book! Its still as intriguing as the rest of the chapters of the book!  Well Done Ron Ripley! Now can safely say Im now a fan of your works!  would recommend to anyone who likes and/or loves horror.

Receiving an ARC for my honest review was a pleasure featuring hours of enjoyment in the latest "ALEX TROUTT" SERIES.  Eager to show my thoughts,  life got in my way or I would have been here much earlier.

As I began the sixth in the series I couldn't help but wonder how Author John Mefford could produce a storyline as interesting as those in the past.  Well, was I ever in for a surprise.  IMHO this is his best work yet!!!  What an exciting story. Several of the past characters are back.  Although some of the readers hated the former CIA friend, I found this character even more intriguing.  God help us if all CIA were of this caliber.  I found him laugh out loud hilarious at times and at the most unexpected moments.  (Yeah, john, keep the good ole boy around.) Alex is at the top of her game as she and her team track down more corrupt bad guys.  Reading a few pages or a couple of chapters before sleep were not an option.  Just a few more pages quickly became the "can't stop until the last word" type read.  I couldn't help but display a huge grin of satisfaction at completion as I thought to myself, " that Mefford has done it again!  He has written another BESTSELLER! "  For a brilliant, fast paced thriller don't miss AT LAST!!!!!  IT'S AN AWESOME PIECE OF WORK!!!

Wow! This book is a page turner!!! The author has done a fantastic job of weaving this story together so that you just HAVE to know what comes next! I'm thinking people might look at this and poo-poo a story about a young alien girl...but it's just SO MUCH MORE than that!  Couched in this fiction story are so many truths that we just don't really think about on a daily basis! But we SHOULD! There is a loving family, a well behaved, loving (alien) child, friendships, drama and just so much more!
My opinion (and I have no dog in this race)is that this is a book for any age!
You could read this to young children and they would be captivated; older children could learn to read it themselves; teenagers would love the story and maybe think about some of their life choices...and then there's my category....adults....and I LOVED the book!
I give it 5 stars...more if possible. I see from the Neila website that there are more books to come (a series)and maybe a movie. Count me in on all of those. I have even ordered several extra copies for Christmas gifts.
My opinion...read it and enjoy!

NIGHTS OF THE TURNTABLE is a clever PLAY ON WORDS title that sparks interest in this novel along with the intriguing artwork created by the author RON ROBERTS!  The book is a fascinating page turner with the characters reflecting, if not based on the author's extensive background in the music world with many leading stars.  A reader cannot help but wonder if some element of Jim Gordon and Rose Camillo are  not based on Ron Roberts and Connie Francis!  After reading Ron's high caliber tribute to the extraordinary *LES REED'S* musical contributions to an army of major stars, I must read everything he writes.  The book makes you visualize a thriller movie with a romance and love that sends chills complete with the beautiful music of *LES REED* adding intensity.  This book and everything Ron writes deserves 5 STARS and more! DAZE OF THE WEAK is the clever title for his work in progress sequel that is on my wish list!

Love it, Love it, LOVE IT!! Stephen Leather has such a talent for making words on paper come alive! I have been working my way through his "Spider Shepherd" novels (all of which leave me begging for more) and "The Bestseller", although shorter in content, is just as good. I am an avid reader but even I don't usually finish a book without putting it down once?! Right from the on set you are racing to keep up. Adrian Slater is a complete mystery from start to finish. You want to like him but know you shouldn't. You find yourself disliking Dudley Grose but know he's fundamentally the 'good guy'. There are twists and turns at every corner and the ending is perfect! I know need to go and lie down to recover from such a roller-coaster of a read!

My first contact with the Bob Burton series was the riveting bet-you-can't-put-it-down page-turner "Quiet Ops"&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Quiet-Ops-The-Bob-Burton-Series/dp/B009HUT316/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Quiet Ops - The Bob Burton Series</a>&nbsp;"Crimson Hit" is right up there in high anxiety. From the second you make contact with the page, the characters are in your face and you're surrounded with a multi-faceted story line that twists and turns at break neck speed.

You just can't beat talented, experienced writers who know their craft. And the weighty team of bounty hunter Burton and L.J. Martin seductively lay it all out there to tell it as it is with gripping action, humor, candor and style.

Natural Selection is an extremely fun read! One of the best I've had in years! Evolution never looked so good!! Incredibly smart, incredibly well-researched absolutely fascinating science. Teaches you a great deal, and like all the great books makes you want to dig in and learn more -- much more, about how life on this planet evolved, where we came from and all that. Very, Very Thought-Provoking. And the popcorn aspects to the book are so much fun!! The images here are vivid to say the least! You don't even have to close your eyes! - it's right there on the page! The action scenes - I wouldn't normally describe a book as having action scenes - but this book has them in scores and they are Intense!! -- Wow!! What a movie this is going to make!!! I loved all the short chapters, too, the hooks and the twists -- they make this a bonafied page-turner. Over the years, I've read a great number of these types of books - thrillers, mysteries, crime capers - from the usual suspects, all the big-name authors ... But this one is just so terrifically engrossing!! So fast!! Such an adrenaline rush!! I don't normally write in reviews - in fact this is my first - but I was truly inspired this time. As others have already suggested, I honestly believe Natural Selection is going to be a massive hit!!

Verity takes off immediately where Exodus ended and just like Exodus, it leaves you on the edge of your seat the whole time!  Drew Avera really knows how to keep his readers in suspense.  I just can't wait for the third installment of the Dead Planet series.

This is my third trip with Paul Evancoe.  Needless to say, I definately would make a fourth!  The book starts out slowly...there are many people, plots and actions the writer is introducing the reader to.  Around page 50, all hell breaks loose and the trip takes a turn through the dark and deadly world of Operators and their lifestyles.  You will not be able to put this book down...I guarantee that!  Read it for yourself and enter the story as a real participant.  Come on Paul, bring up another!  Thanks for the great read!

This is the highly anticipated conclusion to Ripley and Boone's story that started in Real Dirty.  This book starts right where the first one left off.  It keeps you engaged from the very first chapter.  There are some twists and turns I did not see coming.  Ripley and Boone's chemistry is still off the charts.  Meghan has done a great job with this series.  Definitely worth the wait.  I devoured this book in one sitting.  The parrot continues to deliver laughs through the book.  Enjoy this awesome series.  It is so worth it!

"Kill Decision" by Daniel Suarez further solidifies his status as the leading sci/fi techno-thriller author writing today. IMHO this is his best, most riveting, story to-date. Just wait until you meet Odin...who is a perfect melding of Jack Reacher, Mitch Rapp, and Scot Horvath. Odin is an erudite, commanding, patriotic, heroic, and indefatigable, warrior. The pacing is exhilarating, the storyline immersive, the backdrops so real you will think you are there. Suarez's technical expertise, and combat experience, place him at the top of the list. I hope we will get to read more stories with him as the leading protagonist defending American ideals. This is a must read for aficionados of the genre, it's an extraordinary, well written story that will leave you cheering!!! 5 stars!!!!!

Ron Ripley does what few horror writers can do in this day and age. He can truly send some chills down your spine without having to heavily rely on gore and grotesque graphic violence. The world he built is interesting and the twist in the stories were brilliant! I couldn't ask for more from a book. From start to finish, I couldn't put down this spooky little terror =)

I am a huge huge Roswell fan!!  The Seeker focuses mostly on Maria's and Michael's relationship. After the Roswell crew were connected together in the first installment, The Outsider, they have all become very close - the best of friends.  There isn't anything they wouldn't do for each other.  For Maria this means helping Michael with one things he wants the most: to find the ship Michael, Izzy, and Max crashed in during the Roswell Crash so he can go back home to his planet.

Maria has found a way to help him! After finding Nikolas' ring Maria starts to have "special powers" herself. When she wears the ring she is able to tap into people's minds.  However, as with any powers, there are consequences of which no one knows about as Maria has decided to keep this all a secret.  After she finally confides in Michael, the consequences of these new powers start to become obvious, and deadly.  Every time she puts on the ring she literally invites others to find her, who in turn are actually looking for the Roswell aliens.  Soon Maria finds herself in a life and death situation!

Meanwhile, in the midst of all this there are the wonderful and complex relationships Melinda Metz has created.  Maria and Michael become even closer.  They are starting to see each other in a different light... But can they see the other as more than a brother and sister?? Izzy is a complete mess over Nickolas' death, who was shot/murdered by the very scary Sheriff Valenti.  Alex is still there for her unwavering without complaint or demand.  Then there is Max and Liz (my favorite couple of the series - I can't help it).  Max still just wants to be friends with Liz, even though they both know they love each other and they are obviously meant to be together (as are all the 'couples').  Liz even tries to get over Max by going out on a date, which ends in more proof that they are meant to be together.

As with all the Roswell installments, Melinda Metz has created a wonderful story line and unique characters.  One aspect of this series that makes it stand out the most is Melinda Metz's use of multiple points of views.  Each character is given the opportunity to speak.  Not only does this bring more depth and complexity to the characters, it brings many plot lines together to form one cohesive plot, which Melinda Metz does superbly!  If you are a fan of the TV show you must read this series!

Superb fiction from a Master Storyteller... The Alboran Codex: A Suspense Thriller (A Carter Devereux Mystery Thriller Book 3), is the latest book in the Carter Devereux Mystery series...  Like his Rossler Foundation Mysteries, Mr. Ryan draws the reader into a very real world of infinite possibilities...  Not space opera, but "what if" as regards to the history of Earth, and Man...  He creates very believable characters, realistic premises, dialog that could have been spoken by you your friends, sound historical fact, plausible lines of intellectual pursuit- all this, and more, captivating the reader...  His writing is most interesting to me, for it rings of "possibilities."  Anything one finds in the Bible, and is part of Man's history, and perhaps his future, hooks me- instantly...  You build a bond with the characters- whether it be in "land-humans," wolves, or dolphins- all the while looking into lines of thought first posited by Erich von Daniken, and later added to by Michael Cremo...  Many have followed in their footsteps, and more will follow...  As our knowledge of language and history grows, the darkness is pushed back...

Mr. Ryan is a treasure, his books to be savored like a fine wine, a cup of tea or coffee, and as if one were hearing the finest music...

Enjoy The Alboran Codex, and the rest of the Carter Devereux Mysteries...  And be prepared to trade sleep, for reading time...

Do I recommend these fine books?  YES!  Five out of Five Stars!!!

After completing the first Wargs novel, Curse of Misty Hollow- I was eager to get into Dominion. Not every author can make a sequel so compelling and cary you further into the journey with even greater anticipation than the last.  D Allen Rutherford leaves you spell-bound with the phenomenal plot and intriguing science fiction element--which leaves the reader thinking deeply about the very real possibilities of something like this taking place  in real-time. The characters grow and develop and you become so acquainted with each- that you fall right into the pages with them. The suspense and perfectly placed details are just what a good sequel requires. D Allen did an outstanding job with his Trilogy and my respect for this author is great.
Not only do the Wargs themselves become a greater force to be reckoned with; the manner in which the characters come together to take on this seemingly unsurmountable challenge is exquisitely done. Something additionally powerful this author does- which I have never seen achieved myself in a fictional story--the use of research and scientific terminology! You feel as if you are being educated on something scientifically advanced while in the very heart of a thriller novel. This serves as another plausible example of how Wargs is a book to be relished and also to learn from. There is of course-- even an element of romance- (well- more than one) but even this piece of the story line is thoughtfully and delicately interwoven. D Allen has integrated the best of all writing into one compelling story. Love this guy!
