DEADLY WEAPON (Jake Wolfe Book 5) by Mark Nolan

Deadly Weapon is the fifth book in the Jake Wolfe Series by Mark Nolan. This can be read as standalone but I highly recommend reading the whole series. The twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat while trying to figure out what was going to happen next. With the Covid happening right now this hits really close to home. I had a hard time putting it down once I started reading In this action packed story we find Jake and Cody on a fishing trip in Alaska but they are pulled away to stop a very deadly virus from wiping everyone out. Can Jake find who’s responsible for unleashing the virus before it’s to late? Find out what happens next. I can’t recommend this book or this author enough. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Solstice Shadows: A VanOps Thriller by Avanti Centrae – Review by Joanne Ellis

Solstice Shadows (VanOps, #2)Solstice Shadows by Avanti Centrae
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the series of the VanOps thriller, where we meet Maddy Marshall a software expert, who is faced with a task to decipher a code before extremists trigger a high tech apocalypse.
A Russian thief steals an ancient star chart, and Maddy along with her Boyfriend and twin, will then go on a hunt to find the treasure.

The story takes us on some fabulous locations, such as Mexico, the Middle East and the Philippians and in each we learn a puzzle , making things very cryptic, leading clues to each new place and as a reader, this is a brilliant way of getting us involved in the treasure hunt along with the characters. The atmosphere is built up brilliantly and the book is beautifully written.
The ancient history, combined with thriller, suspense and action is very well played out and would truly recommend.

Deadly Weapon
Jake Wolfe
Book 5
By Mark Nolan
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
This is such an intense story. With what is going on in the US, this story touched life as I know it at this time. This is a must read!

Jake Wolfe and his trusted partner Cody are at it again. They are a great team and I swear Cody reads Jakes thoughts before they are said. What a Strong powerful team. I want them on my side, that’s for sure! Jake is fighting against time and what could be the end of the population as we know it. Evil has entered and it must be stopped. One criminal at a time. Read how this thriller plays out.

Mark Nolan once again graced my tablet, with this suspenseful story. It is a page turning book you will enjoy as much as I did. Jake and Cody are the best characters in this story. But they are not the only ones. This story has many groups for and against Jack and Cody. You will also get all the feels, laughter, sorrow, anger, and even a little romance. When Jake is not jumping from planes and swimming in the ocean. Sure wish I could give this book more than 5 ☆’s! Well done Mark Nolan, Well done!

The Crocodile Makes No Sound (The Lord Hani Mysteries Book 2) by N.L. Holmes – Review by Angela Hayes

The Crocodile Makes No Sound (Lord Hani Mysteries #2)The Crocodile Makes No Sound by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

The Crocodile Makes No Sound is the second book in The Lord Hani Mysteries by N.L Holmes. This is another cosy, historical mystery set in ancient Egypt.
We met Hani, a diplomat, in the first book- and team up with him once more as this mystery plays out. With blackmail, politics, religion, and mystery all woven together, it makes for an interesting read. We are transported to the time of Akhenaten- which the author does a brilliant job of recreating and bringing to life.
As with the first book in the series, the author’s knowledge and passion for the period really shines through in the story and through her writing. This passion certainly added to the ‘richness’ of the story.
Looking forward to seeing what Hani gets up to in Book Three!

Thank you, N.L Holmes!

A DEAD MAN SPEAKS (A CLIVE JANUARY MYSTERY BOOK 1) by LISA JONES GENTRY – Review by Angela Hayes


A Dead Man Speaks
by Lisa Jones Johnson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

A Dead Man Speaks (A Clive January Mystery Book 1) by Lisa Jones Gentry is an original story- with plenty to keep you flipping the pages. A mystery with a paranormal edge- detailing crime, investigation, drama, and a clever twist that made me sit up and take notice.
Clive January is a Wall Street investment banker who makes the startling realization that he has been shot, dead! Having such a significant unresolved issue, Clive cannot find peace until he gets his closure. But being dead is kind of restricting- so this is where Detective Bob Greene comes into the picture. It’s through him, and their psychic connection, that the investigation unfolds. But there is much more to the characters, their situation/s, and story, than we first realise- which we discover along the way.
Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Jones-Gentry does next.

Thank you, Lisa Jones-Gentry!

True Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel Book 4) by India Kells – Review by Angela Hayes

True Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel #4)True Bastard by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

True Bastard is the exciting fourth book in the Dark Sparrows Series by India Kells. This is such a great series, and it’s a fantastic addition to the collection. It is definitely my favourite of the series, so far. It is a dramatic, gripping and suspenseful story- full of action, danger, angst, adventure, chemistry, twists, revenge, intrigue, and romance.
As with all of Ms. Kells’ books, I really couldn’t put it down- I was glued to the pages- devouring it in a couple of hours. As expected, the story is superbly written, with a complex and multi-layered storyline that proved to be an exciting and incredibly engrossing read.
This is the story of Liam Harker and Sister Catriona Walsh. The sinner and the nun. Yes, a nun!!! And their story was every bit as interesting as you may imagine! I loved that this book also helps to build a bigger picture of the brothers and their on-going father issues. This book could be read as a standalone, but as I just mentioned, there is much to learn by reading the previous three books first.
I can’t wait to read Sam and Ellie’s story next!!!

Thank You, Ms. Kells!

DEADLY WEAPON (Jake Wolfe Book 5) by Mark Nolan – Review by Sara Oxton

Deadly Weapon (Jake Wolfe #5)Deadly Weapon by Mark Nolan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Deadly Weapon by Mark Nolan a thrilling five-star read. This is number five in the Jake Wolfe series and they could be read as stand-alone but do read better as a series, Jake and Cody are off for some relaxing time in this one, or so they desire. Sadly, for Jake fishing doesn’t go to plan, as life never seems to, does it. This is a compelling action filled read where the action really does leap off the page, the detail this author goes into is phenomenal the reality is scary especially at the moment. I have enjoyed all of these stories but this one just pulled put all of the stops for me. There really is a little of everything in this story, and you will be sorry to miss it. The anticipation in this story will have you on the edge all the way through, its terse and gripping and just a great story overall.

Drifting, Falling: Diary of a Call Girl Suicide by A.J. Ullman is a wonderfully written story that I absolutely put it down. I think at one point I was holding my breath while on the edge of my seat . Other times I had tears in my eyes. It was kinda hard to read at times but I had to know what was going to happen next. This author has completely blown me away and im kinda speechless. I went in with something completely the opposite of what actually happened. This is about a young woman who has a very dark and troubled past. Get ready to be taken on quite the emotional journey. With some heart breaking and heartwarming moments. I recommend reading this book and I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Diamonds & Deception is the third installment in the Karina Cardinal Mystery series by Ellen Butler. The entire series is full of mystery, suspense, and romance. I have yet to be disappointed by this author. Karina always finds herself wrapped up in trouble, but each storyline is unique and pulls the reader in. Although each book can be read as stand alones, I highly recommend reading them in order. You’ll love this author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Emotional story. Keep Kleenex nearby because you will need it.

When I saw the title of this book, I knew I was going to have to read this book. A.J. Ullman has taken a serious topic of suicide and made it into a story that everyone needs to read. Once a person decided that life is not worth living, it is one that those around them are baffled that they could do such a thing. This is a story that brings to light a tragic subject matter. People have demons and most do not know that this thought is going through the mind of the person. Ripley has many demons and her story brought tears to my eyes and pain in my heart. There were moments that I felt I could not read another word but I needed to see what was coming next for Ripley. The character of Ripley can be anyone in your life. She is smart, kind, loving, and haunted by her past. Sound like anyone you know? It is an emotional roller coaster ride, but it is one that I highly recommend. Make sure you have plenty of Kleenex by you because you will need it. It is a solemn read but an eye-opening one. Dare I say, I loved this story because it really pointed out suicide and what someone goes through while making that decision.

Deadly Weapon (Jake Wolfe #5)Deadly Weapon by Mark Nolan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 5th action packed novel in the Jake Wolfe series from Mark Nolan. I would think by now you would want to read the first books to follow along the journey of Jake Wolfe and his trusty sidekick Cody. I have really enjoyed every installment in this series but Deadly Weapon is taking the first place for my absolute favorite so far. I do hope we will keep getting these wild stories. I love how Nolan can suck you into the adventure literally from the very first page until the mind bending final chapter.

In Deadly Weapon we find Jake on a mission to stop a ‘deadly weapon’ from killing millions including the ones he holds most dear. The adventure is a nail biter and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together, and cheering for Jake to come out on top and victorious. This is one you don’t wanna miss, especially if you love adrenaline pumping story lines. I can’t wait to see what will come next!

Diamonds & Deception (Karina Cardinal Mystery, #3)Diamonds & Deception by Ellen Butler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book three in Butler’s ‘Karina Cardinal Mystery Series’ and having read the two previous novels and having been introduced to Karina Cardinal I was looking forward to this third instalment and was not disappointed. Although book three in a series it can be read as a standalone story, however if read as a series then the reader will have a better understanding of Karina’s backstory.
When a friend of her sister Jillian, Sadira Manon who is a middle school teacher is accused of theft from her moonlighting job as a jewellery store clerk, Karina steps in to help prove her innocence. Karina and Jilly join together with Silverthorne Security to investigate as Sadira is adamant that she is not guilty and that she’s being set up. The more they dig and uncover they soon find themselves amongst the shady and dangerous world of the Russian mob. Unfortunately Karina realises she has discovered too much and that she is in trouble a bit late and so she really only has one hope of rescue and that’s boyfriend and FBI cybercrime’s expert, Mike. However the couple who have had a friends to lovers relationship have hit a difficult patch and so Karina just hopes he will pick up his phone.
The storyline was fast paced and had plenty of drama, suspense and twists and turns in it that kept me guessing and happily turning the pages. I was fully immersed in this crime thriller and I literally could not put the book down. I love Karina, the main character, who really brings the story to life and she is a very relatable and likeable person and I felt fully immersed in the story alongside her. Having read the first two books I felt like I was back with an old friend. I hope there will be further books in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a really emotional read about a young girl who’s life spirals down hill until she sees no way to redeem herself but to commit suicide. Its a thought provoking book that shows you don’t know what another person is thinking, feeling or going through in their life.

It is written using Ripley’s dairy and also has section written by her psychiatrist. Ripley is 21 and has always dreams of becoming an astronaut. However things don’t go as she plans and she ends up becoming a call girl. Filled with sadness and depression she speaks openly ans honestly in her journal about her struggles using humour and sarcasm to hide some of her feelings.

When we see the conversations between Ripley and Dan we see how some people can hide their suffering so that even the professionals can’t tell their true thoughts and feelings.

Drifting, Falling: Diary of a Call Girl Suicide by A.J. Ullman. This book was so amazing. Mental Illness is very important to me and I love when authors do a great job telling a story about it. This is the story of Ripley Astilla Luna who is a call girl. She had plans to be an astronaut when she was a little girl but life doesn’t always turn out the way we hope. She has had a very hard life. She has had to deal with a lot more heartache than most people.

She is a beautiful girl that has tons of potential but all that she’s been thru and her mental issues causes her to want to end it all. Her therapist Dan Truscott has tried to help her and get her on a positive track but it seems he can’t reach her.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was such a different story compared to those I generally gravitate towards, but I genuinely enjoyed the ride. An air of unease that only lent to the story followed my path through this read, yet A.J. Ullman still managed to delicately take us on a journey through Ripley’s darkness and it was eye opening.
I was just as wrapped up in Dr. Truscott as I was in Ripley, looking forward to getting to know them both as the pages turned.
With amazing character development and writing from an author I’d never heard of but can’t wait to read more from, you’ll take a look into how those who had internal struggles go day to day. I highly recommend this book just so you may have better understanding of the workings of the mind of those around you.

This one is not only a race against time but a sway in the right direction for everyone as a whole.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Accountability (Scope of Practice Book 3) by Jessica Aiken-Hall, is the third book in the Scope of Practice Series. It’s a well-written book with lots of introspection. I liked the story but Im not sure I like the way it ended. I’m on the fence about it. In one way it offended my sense of justice, but on the other hand, myself a victim of domestic abuse and violence, I can understand it. If you haven’t read Boundaries(Scope of Practice Book 1) or Confidentiality (Scope of Practice Book 2) you should go read those now before you start this third one. Although you can get the gist of the story with just one book it’s a much more enjoyable experience if you’ve read the first and the second one. This is a series well worth your time.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the fifth book in this series, they keep getting better and better with every installment. I enjoyed seeing Madeline again in another story. This is a well developed story that kept me turning pages to the end. The characters made the story engaging and fast paced. I had no problem connecting with them. They made the story easy to read and really made the story into what it is. In this book we get to see Madeline and her partner Mike back in another set of mysteries. This story reads as if there are two mysteries but it is done well and understandable. Madeline is faced with finding out if a composer’s wife is having an affair and Mike is faced with coming to terms with choices made in the past. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what Madeline and Mike have in store for us next in this story. As always, Madeline is such a great character and has been my favorite from the beginning. You won’t regret picking up this book, I know that I didn’t.

The author’s writing draws into the story and gets you invested in the characters. Valerie has to deal with her past and it changes a lot of things for her. This is a must read if you want to know what happens to her. This book is full of mystery, suspense, wonderful characters and unexpected outcomes. I highly recommend this book.

I found myself on the edge of my seat trying to read faster and slower all at once. Even the smallest details are focused on and well developed.

This is book 3 in the Scope of Practice series and its just as good as the first two.

It carries on with the story of Val and the ladies from her trauma group.
Now  Val is married to Tim and she has her son Gabe in her life with her group of friends her life seems perfect. Until one early morning phone call changes all that and turns her world upside down.

Now feeling strong enough she also decides it is now time to hold Dr Chad Ross accountable for his actions against her and feels with her support network she has the strength to now do that.

However when her support network starts to get smaller will Val stick with the original plan to get justice the normal and right way or will she be tempted to take matters into her own hands.

The book is a very emotional story which deals with historical abuse and dealing with grief. It is really well written and the action will keep you gripped all the way through.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Deadly Weapon by Mark Nolan is the fifth book in the Jake Wolfe series. This book can be read as a standalone although I would recommend reading it in order as it follows the same character throughout and I feel you would miss of a lot of the previous development.
I found this book to be a really intense and thrilling story to read. I instantly got straight back into the character of Jake, almost like I had gone from one book straight into the next. Their new mission is one that is scarily close to home right now but for me I think that just made it all the better. You couldn’t help but draw parallels between the 2. But the credit really does have to go to the author for creating a book that feels so real that it is like you are there with Jake.
This series really is a fantastic one to read. Each book just gets better and better and I am always excited to pick up the next book. I would definitely highly recommend not just this book but the series as a whole!

Drifting, Falling -- Diary of a Call Girl SuicideDrifting, Falling — Diary of a Call Girl Suicide by A.J. Ullman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Drifting, Falling: Diary of a Call Girl Suicide, by A.J Ullman was unlike any book I’ve read before.
The story is of Ripley, a troubled girl who has suffered through several traumas that led to the life she has now. All she wants is to feel in control, and this story depicts the planning of her own death. Ripley is smart and courageous, her childhood dreams of being an astronaut fills her mind and she wishes for a life a million miles away from the one she’s living. Planning her death gives Ripley the element of control she longs for.
Ripley is a relatable character, perhaps not because of her traumas or current lifestyle, but because underneath it all she is a funny girl, layered with sarcasm, witty remarks and vulnerability. I just wanted her to find help, and to take control of her life in a different way, by living her dreams.
No spoilers here, but as expected there are twists and turns throughout this story that will keep you guessing and turning the pages.

Devil’s Claw by Valerie Davisson is the third book in the Logan McKenna Mystery/Thriller series. This book can be read as a standalone although it follows the same character so you might want to read the previous 2 first to get the overall build up.
This book is a great addition to the series and just as fast paced and exciting as the other two. The story is complex and interesting and you are drawn into it from the very beginning. I found myself flying through the book, desperate to find out what was going on and what was going to happen.
I loved getting back into the character of Logan. It is always so easy to become engaged with this character again which I think is partly why this series is such a good one. This book has left me just wanting more of them and I cannot wait to see what else is to come.
