Gunner (A Hollins & Haring #3) by T.J. Beach

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Gunner is the third book in A Hollins & Haring Series. Gunner is the first book I’ve read from the series, but it can be read as a standalone.

Simon Whittaker, Gary Hollins, is telling his story. His friend Debbie wants to know and he’s finally spilling the beans. He makes sure that she won’t say anything to anyone. He’s got his past, but then he sees that Deb’s world is falling apart. The quote I chose for Gary is: “I’m serious, Deb. Really serious. Not even Matt. I know you don’t blab, and Matt’s even more discreet than you are, but no one in Australia can hear that name. Understand?”

Highly recommended for Crime Thriller lovers.

Painter of the Damned (Painted Souls #2) by Rob Samborn

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. The author kept me entertained from the beginning. Painter of the Damned is the second book in the Painted Souls Series.

Julia is Nick’s wife and she is trying to figure out how to get them both home. Coming to Venice was a bad idea. Now she’s wishing she didn’t go. Can she get them out of there? The quote I chose for Julia is: “I hope that hurt. ‘What was that for?’ Are you serious? This better not be déjà vu, you a-hole. Gonna tell me what the hell you did to get Interpol involved, or what?”

Nick is getting images from a past life. Something that has happened since they got to Venice. Now he’s landed them both in some trouble. Will he be able to get what is needed done? The quote I chose for Nick is: “That’s who this is about. It’s gotta be, Jules. I met her for like five minutes. She’s Tintoretto’s descendant. She wanted to free the souls, too, and Della Porta friggin’ killed her. And now he’s trying to pin her murder on me.”

Highly recommended for Historical Thriller lovers.
