In an exciting, thrilling and very adventurous book by debut author Joseph John, The Eighth Day is a story that will keep readers riveted to the page from the very first all the way through to the end. Follow the story of protagonist Shawn Jaffe as he learns that his life may not be what he thought. When a stranger approaches him, tells him that his name is not Shawn, he's not an investment broker, and he's not from Ohio, and then disappears, his life is changed forever. He realizes that someone has been controlling him and his memories, and he's not sure why. But if he doesn't find out, his very life may be in danger.
I so enjoyed The Eighth Day. Author Joseph John has done a fantastic job in writing a real nail biter of a story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. His ability to create characters that his readers will find interesting, will relate to, and will ultimately care about is second to none. Some of the scenes are so well described that readers will feel as if they are truly in the scenes with Shawn, and gasping for breath to keep up. Any reader who enjoys action, adventure, a thrilling read with a mysterious backdrop, or just a great work of fiction should absolutely read The Eighth Day. I highly recommend this book, and am hoping that author Joseph John is already hard at work on a follow up. I, for one, will be keeping my eye out for it!

In J.A. Schneider’s Razor Sharp (Embryo: A Raney & Levine Thriller Book 6), a cunning serial killer is on a rampage. His latest victim is Kimmie, a young woman who is having problems with her boyfriend Jared. They are both seeing a psychiatrist. All of the victims are attacked with a sharp razor, their faces mutilated, and until this one, they were all men - one transgender, one transvestite, and a gay hustler. The killer is a Jack the Ripper copycat. When the psychiatrist refuses to answer questions from the police, invoking the client-doctor confidentiality clause, celebrated physicians Jill Raney and David Levine are called in by the police. The two were involved in detective work in the past. Before the killer mutilates another victim again, can they catch him?
Razor Sharp opens with the ruthless murder of a young vulnerable woman and this surely gets the reader’s undivided attention immediately. Especially because J.A. Schneider narrates the horrific murder from the perspective of the killer. The first chapter is shockingly descriptive and it sets the tone and pace of the novel. And as we follow the unexpected twists and turns of the story, we are sucked into the sick mind of a serial killer who wants to be Jack the Ripper incarnate. Only this time, his victims are men with gay tendencies. Jill and David’s Sherlock Holmes–like characters are quite appealing, aided by the extraordinary talent of their three-year-old son, Jesse. This book will keep your reading lights burning well into the wee hours of the morning and you will certainly not be disappointed!

Anonymous by Christine Benedict reminds me somewhat of those Saturday night made for TV movies my husband and I like to watch: it grabs us in the first few minutes, then slows down a bit making us wonder if we should stick with it, and then it takes off, keeping us glued to the screen for the next 90 minutes. Thriller fiction fans will be unconsciously ramming chips into their mouths as new neighbours and jogging friends, Julie and Debra, find themselves slowly becoming paranoid over anonymous letters and creaks and scrapings in a derelict farmhouse being restored by Debra and her hubby, Greg.
As a teen, Debra witnessed her mother shooting her sexually abusive stepfather, for which her mom got locked up in the psychiatric ward. Half convinced that she too will end up there one day, Debra forever worries she's becoming unhinged when she finds feral dead cats hanging from barn rafters, along with learning that the previous house owner died from electrocution in the basement, now full of cobwebs and spiders. Is the house haunted? Is she going nuts like her mother? Or is there some real and present danger lurking in her home?
When Christine Benedict throws salacious love letters to Julie from an anonymous admirer into this scary landscape, the two women lean on each other for support, not sure who to trust and ultimately, like the reader, suspecting the wrong people. Benedict brings Anonymous to a movie ending surprise finish, and those who enjoyed the read will be looking to see what else this author has written.
They might be surprised to learn Anonymous is Christine Benedict's first novel. She has been well mentored in her writing career and is on her way to bigger and better books for sure. This author will find a receptive audience.

Packed full of suspense and intrigue, Back in Town is a fitting second book to Marc A. Di Giacomo’s Small Town Series. After Leo Kepler was safely behind bars, he suddenly disappeared; that incident came on the heels of the car accident which left Detective Donny Mello dead, and brothers Matt and Francis (Franny) Longo find themselves in a twisted mess. As they are looking at the security camera footage of Kepler’s disappearance, they both see something that changes the entire landscape of the small town; Donny Mello isn’t really dead. As the two brothers put together the pieces of the puzzle, Matt is getting rather serious with FBI agent Cynthia Shyler. With another group of Feds breathing down their necks, Matt and Franny are kept busy trying to stay ahead of a sudden crime spree that has hit their small town. There are plenty of surprises waiting for both of them as they attempt to unravel the mystery of Donny Mello and what appears to be ties to the mob.
Marc A. Di Giacomo has packed plenty of action and suspense into Back in Town, the latest installment in A Small Town Series. Though the reader begins somewhat in the dark about what is going on, as the story progresses things become a little bit clearer and twists and turns of the plot begin to untangle themselves. Tied into the action on several different levels, the reader is a prisoner of the pages of this book and simply cannot put it down. Action-packed, dark and suspenseful, Back in Town will keep your heart pounding and your mind racing to try to stay ahead of the mystery that is quickly unraveling before your eyes.

Taming the Telomeres is a thriller that hooked me from the beginning. The scene in the introduction was a real attention grabber. Chapter one was filled with tension as the author allowed the momentum to build. Author Richard Shapiro has included plenty of twists and turns. The characters are well developed and the plot flows smoothly from scene to scene. The plot is interesting and falls into the genres of intrigue, mystery, suspense, and a little sci-fi. I really liked the character of Amanda Michaels, although at times she seemed out of control - who wouldn’t be in her circumstances? I enjoyed watching the relationship between Amanda and David grow. Taming the Telomeres is a great read. Author Richard Shapiro has created a tale that will keep readers eagerly turning the pages to see what happens next.

Grant of Immunity is a legal thriller written by Garret Holms. The story begins in 1976, when Danny Hart sneaked out of his bedroom late at night while his grandmother was asleep. He was going to party with Snake, an older guy he met at the pet store, a scary dude who had snakes and was unpredictable and cruel. Danny usually babysat for Snake's girlfriend, Sarah, who had two small children, but Snake invited Danny along for this evening's fun. The three of them drove to a lake and started to smoke some weed, but then things got crazy and violent. Years later, Snake is now a sergeant with the LAPD and Danny is a Superior Court Justice. Sarah's two small children have grown up, and Erin, her daughter, is being stalked by Jake.
Garret Holms' debut legal thriller, Grant of Immunity, is an outstanding combination of courtroom drama and police procedural. The author, a judge and legal expert, creates an enthralling story and a truly thrilling series of courtroom scenes that had me forgetting about doing anything but reading on. Babbage ranks up there with Lecter and other legendary sadistic/sociopathic criminals, and seeing him assume a policeman's uniform was chilling. Better even than the grisly Babbage, however, are the other characters who people this remarkable story: Fitzgerald, the cop who never stopped seeking justice for Sarah, and Danny Hart, among others. Holms' writing is smooth and assured, and his story-telling skills are superb. Grant of Immunity is going to thrill fans of both the police procedural and legal thriller genres. It's a most impressive debut novel indeed. Grant of Immunity is most highly recommended.

My Beautiful Suicide by Atty Eve tells the story of Cosette Hugo. Cosette is unhappy; she has every reason to be. Her brother, Victor, has died, her parents are divorced, and she runs the gauntlet of the school bully each day. But she survives. Until a serial killer strikes in the community and she becomes a vigilante. Her view of life changes for the worse. Then, she begins to plan her own suicide.
My Beautiful Suicide by Atty Eve is the first book for a long time that has sparked an overwhelming surge of emotions in me. I could truly relate to Cosette's suffering at the hands of Hilda, her enemy at school. The hate, the humiliation, the frustration, and the fear. But, then I started to feel frustrated by Cosette. She has friends who are connected to Hilda and she has her mother, and yet help doesn't seem to be forthcoming. Then, the attack on Hilda occurs by the serial killer(s). Cosette becomes a vigilante. Why? I couldn't understand the reasoning behind her decision.
Throughout my reading of My Beautiful Suicide, I experienced a roller-coaster of emotions, amongst them confusion and incredulity. I have to say it did leave a lasting impression on me for a few days after. It was this fact alone that convinced me to up my rating. I'm now left with two points that I feel I must disclose: Atty Eve is an author to watch for, and suicide is not selfish, but it is not beautiful either.

Pendulum of Justice is the first installment in the Hank Rangar Thriller series by husband and wife, authors Kaila and Dale Halling, aka D.K. Halling.
Absolutely brilliant – that was my first thought after I finished reading this compelling novel. Pendulum of Justice is a fascinating political thriller that grabbed my attention right from the get go. I want to have the intelligence, ethics, and bravery of Hank Rangar. I really admire this well-developed protagonist, who is a high-tech expert with a history as a skilled combatant in the government's computer warfare efforts. Corruption is an essence of the story’s premise that is familiar to all of us, so that we will instantly relate to Hank and the problems that he faces. His pain, frustration, and triumphs are also ours, against powerful people who let greed take over their ethical sense.
Kaila and Dale Halling are able to harmoniously create a deft prose in this engrossing tale about one man’s justice against a broken system. The message of this novel is bold, reminding us about the prejudice of government’s regulations regarding the merit of innovations. Overall, this is a commendable novel and an excellent debut for a great series.

Finding the balance of peace and harmony in one’s soul is difficult enough when a beautiful woman is involved, but nearly impossible when she has a deadly secret. When Pandey first runs into Sally, in Entangled by Clive Ash, it is a “chance” meeting in which he is rescuing her on the sharp ridge of a mountain peak. She is very thankful and leaves a piece of paper with her number on it. Although he doesn’t believe for a second that anything will come of their meeting, he promptly loses her number and is certain that he will never hear from her again. She shows up on his doorstep one day, however, and asks him to help her stop the noises in her head. Unable to avoid carrying out her wishes partly because of his curiosity, but partly because he is absolutely smitten with her, he starts off on a journey. This turns him in every direction, plunging him into the clandestine world of megatons and Russian brain research that could get him killed. As Pandey’s own doomsday clock winds down, he must use every ounce of his skill to survive and, in the process, save Sally and get rid of the noises in her head.
