Fatal Trauma by Richard L. Mabry, M.D.

June 9, 2015

Fatal Trauma by Richard L. Mabry, M.D. was an amazing book. This book brings the two things I love most in life in a book. I have read two other books by this author and I have loved them just as much as I loved this one. I have to say that I wasn’t a huge fan of Kelly at first and to be honest I am not sure why. I liked Mark from the start which is crazy to me because usually I don’t like characters like Mark right at the start and I usually love characters like Kelly. By the end of the book I did love both of them but it did take time for me to grow to love Kelly. Parts of this book I did see coming and figure a few things out before they happened but not much so that is always a good thing with these kinds of books for me. If you love medical thrillers than I know you will love this book and any of the others books by this author.

About The Book

Fatal Trauma (Abingdon Press, May 2015)

A gunman who has nothing to lose faces a doctor who could lose it all to prove his innocence.

When Dr. Mark Baker and Nurse Kelly Atkinson are held at the mercy of a dangerous gunman, the lives of every emergency room patient are at stake. At the end of the evening three men are dead. One of them is a police officer who couldn’t be saved despite Mark’s best efforts. The other two are members of the feared Zeta drug cartel.

Though the standoff is over, the killing is not, because when the drug cartel loses its members, revenge is not far behind. Facing an adversary whose desires are dark and efforts are ruthless, Mark finds himself under suspicion as a killer, yet still a potential victim. When he turns to his high school sweetheart, attorney Gwen Woodruff, for help, Kelly helplessly looks on, as she hides her own feelings for the good doctor.

At the height of the conflict, three questions remain: Who is the shooter? Who will the next victim be? And can Mark prove his innocence before the gun turns on him?

Hunter by Sally Ann Melia Part 2

May 26, 2015

Hunter by Sally Ann Melia Part 2 was a great book. This is the second book in the series and I did review the first one and if you missed the review you can click here to check out the review. This is a series of books where you have to read the books in order or you won’t understand what is going on because the books go in order. To be honest I am not a huge fan of books that you have to read in order because once I finish one I hate waiting for the next book to come out but with this series you don’t have to wait because all 3 books are already out. This is a sci-fi book and it still makes me think of Star Trek which for me is a great thing. I already have the third book in the series to read and because of how this one ended I have to read it because I hate waiting to know what is going to happen next.

L.A. Rotten: A Tom Tanner Mystery by Jeff Klima

May 12, 2015

L.A. Rotten: A Tom Tanner Mystery by Jeff Klima was a great book. I loved this book because it is a return to the genre of books that I love the most. I don’t usually read tons of books like this and it is so nice to get to read ones like this and find new authors. Anyway back to this book. I enjoyed everything about this book so much so that I was sad when it ended because I loved the author’s style of writing and I also loved the characters in this book. I had to keep reading right up until the end because I had to know how it ended and how things worked out. I have to say that I really liked Tom from the start of the book and I hope that there will be more books with him in them because I loved him as the main character in this book. It is fast past and it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the book. If you love mystery books than I know you will love this story.

About The Book

On Sale: May 12, 2015
Pages: 268
Published by : Alibi

For fans of Dexter and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Jeff Klima’s debut thriller is a chillingly suspenseful novel set in a world of violence and chaos—where one man finds himself right at home.

As an expert crime-scene cleaner, Thomas Tanner charges big money to carve out bullets, mop up fluids, disinfect walls, and dispose of whatever’s left of whomever was unlucky enough to require his services. For a handsome young ex-con determined to stay out of trouble, it’s practically a dream job—until he discovers a grisly pattern to his work: a string of gruesome murders at a cheap motel chain, always in Room 236.

While prying into a serial killer’s nasty scheme, Thomas finds himself with a sharp-witted strip-bar waitress plastered to his side—and his conscience. Even more surprising, the killer starts prying into his life, luring Thomas into a twisted friendship. As Thomas struggles against his adversary’s wicked whims, risking the lives of the few people he holds dear, bodies pile up everywhere he turns. With a psychopath calling the shots, Thomas has little choice but to clean house once and for all.

Twisted Innocence by Terri Blackstock

March 8, 2015

Twisted Innocence by Terri Blackstock was a great book. This is the third book in this series and I loved it to say the least. Just because it is the 3rd book you don’t have to read the first 2 in order to understand this book. I have never read the first book and I have been able to figure out what is going on and fall in love with the books. I love all the twists and turns that this series takes and how it kept me wondering what was going to happen. If you love mysteries than this is the book for you.

About The Book

Twisted Innocence (Zondervan, February 2015)

Holly Cramer’s past choices have finally caught up to her, but she never expected them to endanger her baby.

Though Holly’s stumbled through most of her adult life as a party girl, she longs to live a more stable life for her daughter. Then police show up to question her about the whereabouts of Creed Kershaw, Lily’s father. She has kept his identity a secret from friends and family—she never even told him about the pregnancy. Now he’s a person of interest in a drug-related murder case.

Determined to keep him out of their lives and turn him over to police, Holly uses her private investigating skills to search for him. But her bravado backfires when he turns the tables and takes her and the baby hostage. As desperate hours tick by, Holly realizes his connection to Leonard Miller-the man who has gunned down several members of her family. Creed claims he’s innocent and that Miller is after him too. His gentleness with Lily moves her, but she can’t trust a man who has held her at gunpoint . . . even if he reminds her so much of herself.

Dangers old and new threaten Holly and her baby, and lives are demanded as sacrifices for love. Through a complex web of mistakes and regret, redemption is the one hope Holly has left to hold on to.

Almost Perfect by Orly Krauss-Winer

September 25, 2014

Almost Perfect by Orly Krauss-Winer was a hard book for me to get into. This is usually the genre for books that I love but for some reason I just couldn’t get into this book. This book had everything that I usually love in a good book but it just wasn’t the right fit for me. There were parts where I have to keep reading because I wanted to know what happened next and then there were other parts where so was uninterested and I would just skim read the pages. If you love Mystery/Thrillers I would give this one a shot because I am sure most people would love it.

About The Book

A Saturday off-road outing leads to a burned-out car with a man’s body inside: a young and successful lawyer found dead, with no known enemies.
Three women, all deeply connected in some way to the victim, are swept into the investigation, involving a post-WWII love affair, an embezzlement case, and a brilliant police detective. When the truth is revealed, secrets are exposed – they must all face a difficult, complex, and unexpected reality.

Almost Perfect is a light thriller, which does not require a thorough reading to trace the hidden details. You will find a sophisticated, intriguing story, variety in the narration, and many secondary stories (interesting in themselves), connecting to a harmonious overall picture. It has humanity and longing for warmth and love.
The writer sets her stories in the real world, where the smells, tastes and feelings are known and accessible to the reader. These make the book enjoyable, thrilling, and allow the reader to connect with the characters.

About The Author

I was born in 1959, in Israel, the eldest child of parents who immigrated from different parts of the world. My father came from Hungary after World War II, and my mother from Uzbekistan, after a long, ten-year journey with her family through the desert, by way of Afghanistan, India, and Sri-Lanka. My sixth book was about my father’s family history, their brave and special story of survival through the Holocaust, and I dedicated my eleventh book to the story of the hardships endured by my mother’s family in the desert.
My love of books goes back to when I was a child; my parents taught me to read at the age of four, and I’ve been a voracious reader ever since. I used to read under my desk at school, and I was kicked out so many times that, in high school, I went straight to the beach in Tel-Aviv with my books, not bothering to stop off at school. Nonetheless, I successfully earned a high school diploma, served in the army, and studied at Tel-Aviv University, for both an undergraduate and a graduate degree.
I worked as a flight attendant for El-Al airlines for seven years, then became a freelance writer for several newspapers. Three years later, based on my experiences and happy memories of those years in the air and the unique lifestyle of the flight crews, l wrote a romantic thriller about three flight attendants. The novel was an overnight success, and topped the bestseller list for weeks.
I’ve since published twelve books, all best sellers in Israel, many based on my personal stories, and those of my family and friends. I currently live in Tel-Aviv with my 21-year-old daughter, Gal, and my partner, Gili.
I write a book a year. My novels are romantic thrillers and historical romances, for the most part based on true stories. Naturally, those written about my family and my life are dear to my heart. On the other hand, I enjoy writing the romantic thrillers more, so it’s hard to say which of my novels I like best. One thing is certain – I thank God every day for granting me the privilege of working at something I love so much.

Not This Time by Vicki Hinze

September 5, 2012

Not This Time by Vicki Hinze was interesting book to read. At times I got bogged down in all the details that she had in the book but other times I was glad that she had all the detail that she did. I loved all of the characters & the setting of this book and it made me want to check out the first two books in the series and see what happened in them. That being said I understood most of what was going on so you don’t have to read them in order but if are wanting to read all the books in the series than I would for sure suggest that you read them in order. This book is also fast paced which is nice because it keeps you reading even at the parts where there could be less details used. If you love suspense novels than I would for sure recommend this book to you.
