Imperfect Justice by Cara Putman was a great book. The first thing I want to say is that if you don’t like to read books that have domestic violence in them than I would skip this book because that is a big theme in the book. I have read several other books by this author in the past, and I have liked the ones that I have read. I really enjoy books like this one, and I rarely find one that I don’t want. Like most books in this genre, I was able to figure out what was going to happen by the end of the book. It did keep me on the edge of my seat throughout the first half of the book, but even though by then I had figured out what was going to happen I still read it right through until the end because I had to know all of the details. I really enjoyed all of the characters in the book well everyone but Kaylene’s husband. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves Christian legal thrillers. If you have read it what did you think of it?

Down To No Good by Earl Javorsky was such a unique story, and I loved that. I have read tons of books, and I love when I find books like this one because I have a hard time figuring out what is going to happen. This is the second book in this series, and you don’t have to read them in order, but it will make more sense if you do. I wish I had I read the first book first because it would have made more sense. This book reminded me of the tv show “Heroes.” I say that because Charlie reminded me of Claire from that show. I always thought about that show as I was reading this book. Even though I know how the first book ends I am going to go back and read that one because I want to know the whole backstory of this book. I really enjoyed this author writing and the premise of this series of books. If you loved the “Heroes” tv show, I am sure that you will love this book just as much as I do.

“Earl Javorsky’s bold and unusual Down Solo blends the mysterious and the supernatural boldly and successfully. The novel is strong and haunting, a wonderful debut.” – T. Jefferson Parker, New York Times bestselling author of Full Measure and The Famous and the Dead
“Awesome” – James Frey, New York Times bestselling author
“Don’t miss Earl Javorsky’s Down Solo. It’s kick-ass, man. Excellent writing. This guy is the real deal.” – Dan Fante, author of the memoir Fante and the novel Point Doom
“Javorksy’s writing reminded me of the Carl Hiaasen novels I’d read sprawled out on the deck on one sunny Florida vacation. Perfect entertainment, with the right amount of action to keep me alert (and to keep me from snoozing myself into a sunburned state). But there’s also a deeper layer in Down Solo, which left me thinking past the final page.” – Bibliosmiles
“Javorsky’s dark and gritty prose is leavened with just enough humor to make Down Solo a compelling story that will take readers to the outer limits of noir.” – San Diego City Beat

Deadly Proof by Rachel Dylan was an exciting book. This book is one that I knew I was going to like just from reading what the book was about. This book is a genre that I love, and I find that judge books like this one harder than other books because I have read so many. This is the first book that I have read by this author, and I can’t wait to read more books by her in the future. I also loved all of these characters right from the start. This book didn’t keep me on the edge of my seat, but it did keep me interested in most of the book. There were a few spots where I was bored with what was going on but those past pretty quickly and in the end, I really did like this book. This book also didn’t have anything that might offend people because it is a Christian fiction book. I do like to read books like this one because you don’t have to worry about what is going to happen in the book. If you love mystery books, I am sure you will like this book just as much as I did.

Murder In Disguise by Donn Taylor was a good story. This is the second book that I have read by this author, and I don’t think I will read any more by him. I had such a hard time staying interested while reading this book because I couldn’t stay interested in the book. There were a few parts that weren’t super boring, but the majority of the book was boring for me. I am sure that this book would be a good fit for some people, but I tend to like books that are superfast-paced, and this book isn’t like that. I know that people who like Christian novels will love this book because it doesn’t include any things that are gross and they are all around good books in that sense. I am sure that is another reason why I can’t get interested in this book. I read so many books in this genre that I know what I like and what I don’t like. I did like the characters and the setting of the book but as I have said before it just wasn’t the right fit for me.
About The Book
Official verdict: Suicide.
But why would that vigorous department chairman kill himself? To avoid disgrace? Those rumored ventures on the dark side? Some other secret life? Visiting professor Preston Barclay wonders. But his questions bring no answers, only anonymous threats. He has enough problems already, proving himself on a strange campus while radical faculty does all they can to undermine him. Worse yet, that sexy siren assigned as his assistant complicates his courtship of the beautiful Mara Thorn.
While Press keeps asking questions, Mara’s research reveals a cancer of criminal activity that permeates the community and even the campus itself. The more Press questions, the more dangerous the threats against him become, and the more determined he grows to clear his friend’s name.
But can Press and Mara’s stumbling efforts prevail against the entrenched forces of the police, the campus radicals, and an unseen but powerful criminal organization that increasingly puts their lives in danger…?
General Content (G): Contains little or no; sexual dialogue or situations, violence, or strong language.

The Fabergé Entanglement by Lesley Meryn and Elle Brookes was an intriguing book, to say the least. I was hooked right from the first page, and I can’t tell you why I loved the book as much as I did. This book did keep me one the edge of my seat throughout most of the book. During the first few chapters, I did find that I was getting come of the characters confused, so I felt like I was going back and trying to keep everyone straight but it only lasted for a few chapters and then I was able to keep them all straight. I love when authors in this genre of books have a woman as one of the leading characters because not many authors do. I also liked that Saber was a strong woman and able to hold her own when it came to the story. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Adrian through most of the book, but I love when that happens because it means that the author has made the characters life like and I always enjoy that. If you love thriller type books than I am sure you will love this book just as much as I did. They have it rated PG + M, but nothing in this book offend me in the least so I am sure that most people will be okay while reading this book. If you have read this book what did you think of it?

Category: Adult Fiction: 306 pages
Genre: Suspense/Action/Romance

Sabinne ‘Saber’ Darrieux’s father, the billionaire CEO of Frontenac Global Security has been kidnapped. His ransom is not cash in a numbered offshore account, or a briefcase of Bearer Bonds but something utterly unique, incredibly valuable, and until recently, hidden away from the world.
The kidnapper seems to know Saber very well and knows that the next day, through her work as an elite translator she will be in the same location as the Object. She must steal the Object and deliver it to the kidnapper to ransom her father.
Adrian Steele, a British Intelligence agent has just come off of two harrowing missions. Upon returning to London for a well-earned rest, he learns that his friend and fellow agent has been murdered in Moscow, but not before he made use of a unique Object as a mobile ‘drop site’ for the valuable intelligence he was carrying.
The drop site is traveling from Moscow to England. Steele insists on completing the mission to honor the death of his friend, Gerry Cornell.
At an ultra-chic quasi-diplomatic gathering in a mansion in Windsor, England, Saber and Steele meet and find themselves faced with a powerful, undeniable attraction. But at the moment, this compelling attraction is very inconvenient.
In reality, they are at the mansion to check out the security arrangements — for their own reasons — to steal the Object, a Fabergé egg worth thirty million dollars. But who will get to the egg first?
Fabergé eggs are very famous for their unique surprises. Saber and Steele are about to be very surprised, indeed.
And when Saber clashes with Steele; more than sparks will explode!

The Names of Dead Girls by Eric Rickstad was a great book. This is the second book in this series and the first one that I have read. That being said I didn’t feel lost and I was able to pick right up with what was going on. If you want to read both books, I would read them in order because this book will spoil certain things in the first book if you read this one first. I do know that I will go back and read the first book because I was in love with this book and I want to know what happened in the first book. From the first page of this book I was hooked and didn’t want to stop reading it until I finished the last page. This book had everything that I like for books in this genre to have which is the reason I am still going to go back and read the first book and any other books that he has written or will write in the future. If you love thriller type books than I am sure you will love this book as much as I did.

About The Book
Genre: Mystery / Thriller Published by: HarperCollins Publishers Publication Date: September 12th 2017 Number of Pages: 400 ISBN: 0062672819 (ISBN13: 9780062672810) Series: The Silent Girls #2 Purchase Links:Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads
William Morrow is thrilled to present the sequel to the New York Times and USA Today mega-bestseller The Silent Girls, which went on to sell more than 300,000 copies. The Names of Dead Girls is a dark, twisty thriller that once again features detectives Frank Rath and Sonja Test as they track a perverse killer through rural Vermont. By popular demand, the story picks up after the shocking cliffhanger on the last page of The Silent Girls and reveals what exactly happens between Rath and his nemesis, Ned Preacher. Although The Names of Dead Girls is a sequel, it reads perfectly as a standalone – new readers can dive in seamlessly.
After years spent retired as a private investigator, Frank Rath is lured back into his role as lead detective in a case that hits far too close to home. Sixteen years ago, depraved serial rapist and killer Ned Preacher brutally murdered Rath’s sister and brother-in-law while their baby daughter, Rachel, slept upstairs. In the aftermath, Rath quit his job as a state police detective and abandoned his drinking and womanizing to adopt Rachel and devote his life to raising her alone.
Now, unthinkably, Preacher has been paroled early and is watching—and plotting cruelties for—Rachel, who has just learned the truth about her parents’ murders after years of Rath trying to protect her from it. The danger intensifies when local girls begin to go missing, in crimes that echo the past. Is the fact that girls are showing up dead right when Preacher was released a coincidence? Or is he taunting Frank Rath, circling his prey until he comes closer and closer to the one he left behind—Rachel? Rath’s investigation takes him from the wilds of Vermont to the strip clubs of Montreal, but it seems that some evil force is always one step ahead of him.
Eric Rickstad is a master of the bone-chilling, nightmare-inducing thriller, and The Names of Dead Girls is one you won’t want to miss.
