The Arsonist’s Handbook
A Gripping Psychological Thriller
By L.A. Detwiler
☆☆☆☆☆
Let me just say “WOW”! This was not what I was expecting. It was far better. Full length novel into the mind of an arsonist. This story is not intended for those under 18, due to adult content.

Jameson is a 16 year old looking to find his father. During his search, he finds a journal written by his father. Wondering if he is at all like him, Jameson set out with a plan. Could he find his father by the clues he has? Pete Andrews has lost his infant son to a house fire and is out to seek revenge. Will Pete put his son to rest. Family secrets and fire may not mix in this Crime story.

Well L.A. Detwiler has written this thriller and had me reaching for the next page. A true page turner, with family fires to boot. I really felt the pain her characters displayed. So many broken hearts all under the Arsonist’s hand. I love a well written thriller. This one is above any I have read. You can be sure I am out to find more from L.A. Detwiler! Well Done L.A. Detwiler! Well Done!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Avenging Devil
Part 1
Satan’s Devils MC
San Diego
By Manda Mellett
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
This is a full length MC novel. You will find romance as well as survival. Not for the faint heart or those under 18, due to the adult theme. Also you may want to start from the beginning and read each book in order of the series. Taking the time to get to know each character.

This is Niran and Saffie’s story. Saffie has run from the man she calls husband. Living in hiding and never feeling safe. She is unbelievably strong. When she comes across Niran, she feels safe but keeps her distance in order to remain in hiding. She wants nothing to do with MCs or those who belong to them. Niran is in a MC, Satan’s Devils to be exact. He has a kind heart and is always willing to help others. When he finds Saffie scared and crying, he goes to her rescue. But will Saffie let him help? Will Niran be the help she needs? Will they be safe and will the Satan’s Devils come to help?

Manda Mellett has done it once again. This story will draw you in and keep you reading. The knowledge she holds about MCs is unbelievable. I love Niran and Saffie, as well as the other characters. The emotional Rollercoaster was incredible and Dark at the same time. Be prepared to put your emotions on your sleeve. Worst of all, this book ends in a cliffhanger. Now I need to wait for part two of Niran and Saffie’s incredible story. Well Done Manda Mellett! Well Done!

☆☆☆☆☆
This may be one of books that help a parent with special needs children, not feel so lost and even answer some unasked questions. Full length and loaded with information for parents as well as siblings. I found this book to be very informative and only wish this came out when my sister was born. I hear quite a few children are lost in the process of parents who struggle with everyday challenges. But when you add injury or illnesses to the mix. All they knew goes right out the window. This is a Must Read!

 

Thank you Marcia Nathai-Balkissoon. You have put some great information out there for all to read. As a sibling to a special needs sister, I’d say this book is spot on. It thrills me to see such a great book. This story is well written and a fast paced book. One I will be sure to have all my friends take time to read this jewel. Well Done Marcia Nathai-Balkissoon!

This is a full length steamy romance story. Definitely not for those under 18. But the rest of us can listen and enjoy.

 

RICK Fars has what every man could want. His music has made him popular with the help of his band. More money than he could ever spend. He has any woman he wants. Which he takes, but no true romance and never the same one. He loves women sometimes 2 at a time. But there is still something missing. Will conversations and honesty help him find what is missing? Can he accept where his life is leading him?

 

 K.L. Shandwick is one of my favorite romance authors. Although this genre took me to unexplored territory. I enjoyed this story as well as the narration. This story is fast paced and interesting. So much so I could not stop listening.The characters played their parts well. Coral quietly questioned her choices. But the boys have their own questions as well.  I found this story informative as well as interesting. K.L. Shandwick never disappoints, this book proved that. Well Done K.L. Shandwick! Well Done!

☆☆☆☆☆

This is a sweet yet short AUDIO BOOK, Historical Romance. For adults only, due to language and adult content.

Safe Harbor: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 5 AUDIO BOOK by Valerie Davisson – Review by Cindy Mayberry

Safe Harbor

The Logan McKenna Series 

Book 5

AUDIO BOOK

By Valerie Davisson 

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ 

This is a full length Suspense and Crime story. This story is for those over 18 due to subject matter and violence. This is a must read and follow in order of this series. For the full enjoyment of the mysteries that lie ahead.

 

Valerie has taken a much needed vacation with Ben and her family. Set in Oregon she has planned many adventures. None of which have anything to do with murder. But there she is right in the middle, left trying to prove her innocence. But that is not all you will find in the story. Logan now must find out what really happened, as well as keep her family safe. No spoilers here. You have to read it to believe it.

 

Valerie Davisson is keeping this series going. I love it! Her fast paced rollercoaster will keep you turning the pages of this story. Her description of the different sights, may even inspire you to visit as well. Without the crime though. Many emotions are also going  to keep you reading. At some point you may need chocolate or wine. Job Well Done Valerie Davisson! Well Done!
