Jellybeaners by Gene Scott was a book that I was interested in reading when I was approached to review the book. I am so glad that I was able to get this book to review because I enjoyed it right from the start of the book. I read tons of books, and it is rare that you find books that take place during current times and I loved that this book takes on problems and issues that people in this country are struggling with. I also liked that this book is told by people from all sides of the issues that this book deals with. I enjoyed this book because I got different points of view and that allowed me to see what was happening through everyone’s eyes and not just one or two people in the book. I think this is a book that just about anyone would enjoy because other than being a contemporary fiction book it deals with quite a few different things. This was also a really easy read, and I was able to get through it in about a day or so. If you are looking for something different this summer to read I would pick up this one.
The scourge of opioid addiction is deeply woven throughout world history, and our own Civil War produced roughly 200,000 addicts who spent their remaining years navigating shattered limbs and unstable minds. Fast forward a century-and-a-half. A 2016 report by the American Society of Addiction Medicine revealed that approximately two million Americans were addicted to prescription opioids in 2015. Specifically, overdose deaths related to prescription pain relievers took 20,101.
Jellybeaners is a contemporary novel set in the heart of Appalachia, revealing the money ties, political corruption, wasted lives, and overall cash-churning nature of the prescription pill culture from perspectives spanning both sides of the law.

Deadly Spirits by E. Michael Helms was a book I didn’t think I would like, but in the end, I loved the book and the authors writing. I read a ton of books in this genre, so I always go in thinking that I am not going to like the books, but this one surprised me, to say the least. I loved that this book brought in ghosts and things like that because it gave the book something different that I haven’t seen before. I was a huge fan of Mac right from the start, so I am going to go back and read the other books in this series because I really enjoyed this book and the characters. This book was one that I know I will read again, and I know I will be picking up rest of the books because this is a great series. If you are looking for a different type of mystery book to read this summer, then I think you will enjoy this book as much as I did.
When PI Mac McClellan’s girlfriend convinces him to join the Palmetto Paranormal Society, he becomes embroiled in a case of whooodunnit. The society president, while investigating an old hotel, is found dead at the foot of the stairwell, his neck broken. The man’s secretary and current squeeze stands horrified beside his body. Authorities rule the death an accident. Mac has doubts—no one heard the man tumbling down the stairs. Then the secretary dies in an apparent suicide. Two deaths in two paranormal investigations, and not a peep out of either victim. Mac suspects there’s more going on than a vengeful spirit.
Book 4 in the Mac McClellan Mystery series, which began with Deadly Catch.
I was born in Georgia way back in the last century but grew up and lived most of my life in Panama City, Florida. In 2004 my wife and I moved to the Upstate region of South Carolina in the shadows of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, a land of stunning vistas and numerous waterfalls.
I’ve been traditionally published since 1990 when my Vietnam War memoir, The Proud Bastards, was published. It’s about my time as a combat U.S. Marine in 1967-68. It’s still in print after all these years, currently with Simon & Schuster/Pocket. I’ve since written a few novels in different genres. I’m currently writing the Mac McClellan Mystery series which is set along the coast of the Florida Panhandle where I grew up.

The Great Chattanooga Bicycle Race by Mike H. Mizrahi left a smile on my face the entire time I was reading it. I loved it because of how commonplace it is now for everyone to ride a bike. This was such a fun and cute book that I was sad when it was over. I really enjoyed this author writing, and I hope that he will write more books that I can read because like I said I really did enjoy his book. I fell in love with Anna and Peter right from the start, and I spent the entire book hoping that they would get together because I thought that they were perfect for each other. If you are looking for a fun book to read this summer, I would recommend this book to you. If you have read it what did you think of it? Do you have any books that I should check out this summer?

Driver Confessional by David L Winters was a fun book to read. I loved that this book had things that are actually happening or things that really exist. I love when authors just change the name of a service or product in their books, but everyone knows what the author is talking about. I also enjoyed this book because it was such a different type of story in the fact that it has to do with a guy that is a driver because I can only imagine all of the stories that cab drivers and people like them have to tell. I also really enjoyed this authors writing. I really liked Antonio right from the start because he seemed like someone that I could relate to and I really enjoyed that. If you are looking for a different type of mystery book to read I would recommend this book to you.
