Random In Death – Unsaid And Unexplained

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
February 4, 2024

A night of fun with her best friends becomes the last night for the unsuspecting sixteen year old Jenna. A random death that leaves her parents with a grief, unsaid and unexplained. But for Lieutenant Eve Dallas, death is personal, always. The why of the murder is what fascinates Eve more than the how. The why is what feeds her intelligent and experienced mind the start to an investigation, to bring justice to the victims.

With her tenacious and insightful mind, murder board, Peabody, Roarke and her team of passionate law enforcement always at her back, Eve Dallas will go to any lengths to bring down the psychopath consumed with hatred and fixated on killing young people. 

But, what I love the most about J. D. Robb and her Death series is the growth of Eve’s and Roarke’s relationship. From the time they met, to getting married, to falling into a wife and husband status, both have matured and nurtured each other, family lost, as well as an extended family. These glimpses that J. D. Robb gives importance to in her narrations and pages, makes my heart full.

Writing the Death series as J. D. Robb, Nora Roberts is always topnotch with narration, plot and incorporating intense research. Be it suspense, paranormal, romance or law enforcement, she is unsurpassable!

February 2, 2024

Marina Adair’s second book in the Sierra Vista series, “Second First Kiss” is an entertaining read. But do not miss the undercurrents of emotion, the desire to have a companion, and the intense need to have a family and keep it all together. 

Kat Rhodes is a character you’ll fall in love with her sassy attitude that shelters so much longing, hurt and fear. A sister to take care of, and a father MIA, she has a lot at stake. Throw in a federal agent who loves her, only wants to become her support and make her his, forever is enough for Kat to keep her distance.

Nolan Carmichael, the federal agent and a rule follower, has his job cut out for him. Between the drunken campers and helping run his family’s lodge, Kat Rhodes throws a wrench into his life. He has a hard road ahead of him convincing Kat to be his forever and not skate outside of the law. 

“Second First Kiss” is an endearing story of two lovable characters, as they navigate a road filled with fun, family and anxiety to their forever.

Gifted an e-book in advance for an honest review.

A new series, new characters, with a glimpse fo the olden and golden characters making a welcome appearance. 

Katie Reus’s new series, Redemption Harbor Security” spears ahead with Jessie Lenox “Fighting For Haley”, to keep her in his life. A self made millionaire rising from the ashes of foster care, Jessie always had a soft spot for Haley that grew into love. But circumstances and life has a way of coming in between two lovers, driving them apart. Years later, fate gives Haley and Jessie another chance at love as all the foster siblings come together to save one of their very own. 

I like these new characters in her new series. Loyal, faithful and devoted to each other, I’d love to see the rest of the siblings finding their true love.

Risk – To His Heart And Life

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
October 22, 2023

Kenzie Macallan, a new writer and a new read on my list. Heading into her Deep 8 series way down the list to her fourth book “Risk”, with Campbell Creighton laying down his life for his Quinn Donovan. 

With AI being the hot topic of the current world, Kenzie weaves an intriguing story around this very concept, and if we are talking about AI, then politics, conspiracies, power, money and betrayal are not far behind. With technology outspacing humans, it’s a power struggle for survival of the fastest and the richest!

Genius brother and sister duo, Liam and Quin are working on an AI nuclear weapon in a top secret location that is compromised. With her brother MIA, Quinn reaches out to her trusted friend and security specialist, Campbell for help before being kidnapped. The burden of rescue now falls on Cam and his team of special operatives, to thwart whatever the political and power plan was set in operation. And Cam will need his head in the game, if he wants to protect his heart and life, Quinn to bring her back safely.

A fairly new Indie writer in my opinion, “Risk” starts off a bit slow but gets going as we get into the fifth chapter and onwards. But Kenzie Macallan has the imagination and the forte to narrate a story with a genuine plot, keeping the flow of the story interesting and making sure the chemistry among the characters is strong enough to carry the storyline. 

Kenzie Macallan is an author to look out for and she’s caught enough of my attention to add her to my list.

Ruthless – In Love, In Hatred

Filed under: Books In The Wind 'N Air — Leave a comment

“Love sometimes makes people ruthless in a way that not even hatred can.” ~~ Francesca Marciano, Actress ~~

Gideon Wright – “You wanted to protect the defenseless, Eve. I wanted to be the one to protect the defender.”

Eve Wells – “Thanks for not giving up on me. But if you ever again drug me, kidnap me, or inject something into my body without my consent, I will cause you severe, physical pain.”

That readers, are Gideon and Eve for you! Partners, lovers, soul mates and defenders of the innocent, courageous and honorable.

Christy Reece is “ruthless” in creating her characters with her heart and soul!

A chance encounter between two innocent human beings from different ends of the world, merciless events cement the trajectory of these young lives, yet fated to be in each other’s lives and destined to be together with a future, Eve and Gideon had each other’s backs as Option Zero operatives and friends. Between the lines, their chemistry sizzles, thoughts and actions bring to life their emotions and feelings,  script and narrative is an admirable and resplendent passage to their future.

Merciless in battling betrayal, relentless in fighting for their beliefs, bringing the heartless to justice, ruthless in serving the purpose of their goals and objectives – Option Zero operatives are one of a kind and unforgettable characters….thank you, Christy Reece, for these champions.

Be it heroes or villains, sidekicks or followers, family or relatives,  Christy Reece pours her prowess and mastery in developing each character fit for their respective roles in her books.  Her imagination and vision in creating evil for her stories is ruthless to the point of brilliant, as is her penchant for throwing in a twist or two in the penultimate chapters. 

I am not surprised that Iris Gates is in the shadows getting in on the action and I wait with bated breath, for Sean to slay his demons and come back to Serena.
