VENGEANCE BY J.E. TAYLOR

J.E. Taylor’s book “Vengeance” is a gripping novel about Steve Williams…an undercover FBI agent who is working as a lawyer working for Charlie Wisnowski…a drug dealer that no one has been able to catch. Charlie tries to get Steve hooked on cocaine and have him indebted to him for helping him protect his wife from a serial rapist/killer. Does he succeed or does Steve’s wife and Steve’s desire to catch him win?
It was fast paced but J.E. Taylor took the time to make sure the characters came alive and the plot was well thought out. For instance, she made Steve struggle with his doing his job and protecting his family just like any man would do in his circumstance. “Vengeance” had me by the first chapter and I almost had the book read by one night. This is the perfect book to read on the beach or near a pool this summer. I was amazed at this novel and know that others will react the same way. You just can’t ignore the events that captivate you from the beginning. This author has produced a genuine thriller!

White Sleeper by Dr. David R. Fett and Stephen Langford

The novel White Sleeper by Dr. David R. Fett and Stephen Langford is interesting idea on how a son of a supremacist tries to seek revenge on the government that killed his parents. Dr. Dave Richards is told to investigate a series of unexplained fatal diseases, he finds more than he thought. He and FBI agent Paula Mushari seek to find the answers before time runs out.
This novel was an interesting read for me because I love what “if” stories. The story that Dr. David R. Fett and Stephen Langford spin in White Sleeper is something that can actually happen in our world today. I love how the plot slowly develops and the characters are very in-depth, they show Dr. Dave Richards as a intelligent doctor with a past, desperately seeking to reclaim his life and job. I really enjoyed this book and sincerely hope this duo of writers write another one as they make a fantastic team. I suspect that the readers that love thrillers will want to read this novel and expect to see another! The duo succeeds in catching you quickly and keeps your attention to the details making it a wonderful read!

Zero Day by Mark Russinovich

“Zero Day” by Mark Russinovich has the kind of plot able to make the skin crawl on the most stalwart of readers. The author has impressively managed to weave technical fact with breathtaking suspense. After following his characters through efforts to stop an all too plausible cyberterrorist attack, I feel as much more aware and wary. Russinovich aptly portrays the minds of both the heroic techs, and the fanatics with equal detail and empathy. He gives no pass to the brass ignoring protagonist pleas while maintaining that our security online is no one person's responsibility. Nor does he downplay the horrific effects of the attack as he also delves into the psychology of the terrorists acting out of perceived religious duty and fear of encroaching western culture. Any reader should be enthralled with “Zero Day,” and taking careful notes.

Mind-Blown by Michele Hart

Mind-Blown by Michele Hart is a sci-fi thriller/romance (if there is such a genre) that kept me on my toes. The novel did have a few places where it seemed to drag while rehashing some information but sometimes rehashing is necessary to keep the reader up-to-date on the storyline. This is a romance novel mixed with action and adventure and is not a-typical because of the engaging plot twists and corporate idealizations. You won’t be able to predict what is coming next. The story contains some of the latest technology and the author’s use of high-tech gadgets adds a new field of mind boggling thoughts to follow. Author Michele Hart develops her characters in a believable fashion.
You will fall in love with Holly Maddox's outgoing style. You can just imagine being a friend of Holly’s and her boss. Jon's and Holly’s relationship matures quickly keeping you intrigued. Jon tampers with Holly’s subliminal message folder. Micro-chipping is an idea that makes you wonder if that can be tampered with as well. Can it?
You can and will dread what is coming next because of the ethical dilemmas this novel involves your mind with to say the least. I think that Mind-Blown tells us of corporate and government control of the general population. You can’t believe what the micro-chipping topic brings to the table in any type of conversation. Fear grips me that micro-chipping technology has been available for a while and Mind-Blown takes you there and, I believe, makes you succumb to the thought that this can happen or might have already happened and I don’t like this idea.

The suspense is mind chilling. Without telling the end of the story and giving to much away I can say that I believe that a lot of the corporate happenings written here are true to our lives. You’ll continue reading this novel every second you have available. I kept it with me so that I could continue reading it anytime I had a minute or two.

Although this may not be an original thought...Mind-Blown blows your mind!

Face the Rain by Jennifer DeNaughel

Face the Rain by Jennifer DeNaughel is a romantic /thriller that reads extremely well from the get go. Jenna and her two children move to her hometown to start a new life after years of abuse by her ex-husband. Her son, Erik, hopes to meet his biological father, Ian, who is Jenna’s high school sweetheart. Will the love that Jenna and Ian had in high school be rekindled after all this time? Will the ex-husband come back to get his revenge?

I read many books and this one really tugged at the heart strings. It really has the right combination of romance/thriller to me. The characters have enough background and the dialogue between them was perfect. I could not put this book down at all. Ms. DeNaughel has written a winner and I hope that all women that love romance will read this one. They will not be disappointed at all.

In Ice Cream in the Snow by Diana Castilleja

In Ice Cream in the Snow by Diana Castilleja we have a romantic/thriller that tells the story of a single mom and son team (Jessie and Jacob) who are just trying to make it day by day. Her ex-husband had a gambling addiction and Jessie wanted to provide a stable home life. However, before he died, he owed a lot of money to Brick Donnelly. When he goes searching for Authur he finds Jessie and her son.

I enjoyed reading this story very much so; it has romance, drama and a little mystery too. I found myself rooting for the family and wanting Brick and Jessie to stop fighting the attraction and become the couple they were meant to be.
