This was such a great read, it was a short story but in true Ms Abbott style there was nothing lacking in the storyline. Foxxy was a great character to read about, I really enjoyed her story. The author always does well with her characters development and this story was no exception. There were some emotional moments in the story and they were well written and also a few unexpected twists. I would definitely recommend The Equalizer: Foxxy’s Tipping Point to other readers!!

Abbott – Review by Katie Matthews
Boy on Hold by JD Spero. I was so glad I found this story by the late page. It gripped me right from the beginning. The entire time I was so engrossed to all the twists and turns I wasn’t able to put this book down and found myself up way later than planned. Each little detail is so well written and the characters truly draw you in. It’s well paced and written nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. I love a story that has me sinking in so completely I forget all about the outside world. And this one definitely did just that. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

It was Cabbage Night, 1991. The traditional night of pranks, which takes a disturbing turn when a violent crime rocks a small Adirondack town. Even more so, is when the only witness is a 7 year old boy. Hen trout, was out hoping to catch a pet hedgehog that night, sees Miss Sally become a victim.
Single mom Marcella Trout is blindsided when Tyler, her seventeen year old, is arrested for the very crime Hen witnessed. Now Tyler’s eerie mood swings seem dark and frightening and rooted in a family history Marcella has desperately tried to bury. She has to deal with the dark issues of loss, drugs and the undiagnosed of mental illness, that will change her family lives. As the criminal investigation churns on, the tenuous fabric of the trout family begins to unravel. And even Hen begins to question the truth.
The story was told by multiple viewpoints and the book is surrounded by mystery, and the story was told beautifully of how the trauma consumed Hen Trout’s family and their small town. The author has done a brilliant situation of Capturing every emotion possible, especially telling the story from a child’s point of view. A very enjoyable read and would highly recommend.

Ashes To Ashes Box Set: Books 1 to 3 by Rowena Holloway
This is definitely a must have box set. These three stories kept on the edge of my seat. Each of these stories are suspenseful, intriguing, and will keep you on the edge of your seat. With each book I found myself more emerged in what Charlotte was going to get herself into next. I found myself pulling all nighters to find out what was going to happen. The author did an exceptional job writing such gripping and unexpected stories. You will not want to miss out on these amazing stories. I highly recommend this series.
I loved reading the book The Equalizer: Foxxy’s Tipping Point (Foxxy: The Equalizer Book 1) by Allyson R. Abbott. I loved the character of Foxxy. She is intelligent, strong, and cares for others. This is my first book by Allyson Abbott and it won’t be my last. I cannot say enough good things about this book. It has action, tension and a lot of sad situations. **If you have triggers about rape or women being beaten please be aware there are situations inside this book**

Abbott – Review by Meg Tyrrell
The thriller and the crime genre are two of my favorites. I always look for these genres when I am looking for something to read. This story is no different. I love the idea of twins and one of them having a third twin, you read that right one of the twins has a twin in his brain and never seen. The characters are drafted in such a manner that you are feeling like you are right there with them. The plotline kept me sitting at the edge of my seat. I found myself flipping the pages just because I sat on the edge of my seat to see what is going to happen next. David the third twin is coming out more since their mom has gotten sick. How will Aaron and Branson handle their situation? What is David’s roll in the family dynamic? I highly recommend this story to get your adrenaline moving.

Billiter with Kyle Thomas – Review by Erica Fish
Ashes to Ashes Box Set: Books 1 to 3 by Rowena Holloway is a really good read. I read each of the books separately and highly recommend this box set. Book One is Bad Things Happen. Charlotte Ashe is a tv weather girl who is looking for her big break into serious stories. When footballer, Joey Baptiste, gives her the story of a lifetime it is signing his own death warrant. Can Charlotte figure out this story or will Joey’s death be in vain? This is an intriguing book with good characters and story. It felt a bit disjointed at times because it jumps time periods but I get why the author was doing this in the end. Overall I enjoyed this read and look forward to more in the series. Charlotte is interesting and there seems to be much more to her story that wasn’t revealed in this book. Book Two is Less You Know. I was excited to read this book because I enjoyed the first one in the series a lot. The character of Charlotte continues to grow but this also means she finds herself falling into some strange rabbit holes in her investigations. Lies and coverups are all over the place and it makes her question everything she knows. I enjoyed the writing because it kept the story at a good pace and I didn’t want to put the book down. The characters are interesting and add to the overall suspense and mystery. Book Three is From The Ashes. This series and the characters have grown with each book. This is a gripping thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. When I thought it was winding down something else would be discovered or happen. I really enjoy the character Charlotte and have enjoyed reading about her and seeing her grow as a character. I will definitely be looking for more from this author in the future. Again this is a great suspenseful series that I recommend reading.

Boy on Hold is a bitter sweet crime story by J.D. Spero that is not your usual run of the mill crime story. This was my first read by the writer and I can say now that it is a story that any crime lover would enjoy reading. It is a story told from multiple point of views that pulls you even deeper into the story that is filled with twists and turns and heart ache and realities of addiction, mental illness, and murder. In the center of the story is a seven year old Henry ‘Hen’ Trout who witness his neighbour’s, sweet old Miss Sally’s murder during the Cabbage Night in a small Adirondack town. He is a troubled child whose way of looking at the world will fascinate you and steal your heart. It is his older, seventeen year old brother Tyler that is arrested for the crime. All the evidence points to Tyler and his mother and his brother struggle with it being a possibility … The writer takes us deep into the dynamics a broken family, a single mother struggling to keep it together and small town filled with plenty of shady characters. She tells the story in such a considerate way that even though one could think that surely this story is way too depressing; it never pulls you too down. Still, it is heart breaking and it stays with you for a while, be prepared.

This book had me hooked from the beginning. This book deals with a lot of tough issues like, mental illness, drug abuse, and broken families. There is also love, friendship, and wonderful characters. This story is definitely full of suspense and kept me entertained throughout the entire read. The author did an exceptional job of detailing so that you felt like you were there. There are some unexpected developments in this story that kept me on the edge of my seat. I had a hard time putting this book down till I found out the outcome. This was a great and intriguing read. I highly recommend this book.

A mystery, thriller young adult novel about a child who is the only witness to a terrible and violent crime. Set in 1991, on Cabbage Night, a traditional night of pranks in a small Adirondack town the night takes a disturbing turn when a violent crime takes place, shocking the small town. Seven year old boy, Hen Trout, is the only witness to the violence against Miss Sally. Hen had been outside in the dark hoping to catch a hedgehog when he saw the attack. Single mom Marcella Trout is devastated that her young son had witnessed such a violent attack but is then blindsided when her seventeen-year-old, Tyler is then arrested for the crime his brother had witnessed. Marcella now looks back on Tyler’s mood swings and they now seem dark and frightening to his mother, especially as she had been desperately trying to forget her family’s history. The Trout family begins to unravel as the criminal investigation goes on and soon even Hen begins to question the truth about what he saw and what really happened that fateful night. I find this an emotional read and also a thought provoking one. The issues surrounding teenage mental health is dealt with both honestly and sensitively. The characters really drew me in and I was hooked from page one of the novel. A fascinating read for both young adults and adults alike.

I won’t lie, I had no idea what I was going to be getting myself into when I picked up The Equalizer: Foxxy’s Tipping Point by Allyson R. Abbott. I chose it and had to have it when I saw the cover. I mean what is not to love about the drool worthy cover haha. I couldn’t wait to see what this was all about and I am so glad that I did. We meet Foxxy, a call girl with a terrible pimp and life that leaves a lot to be desired. Foxxy meets one evening a man who has decided that she is the one and will stop at nothing to make sure he gets her. He offers her a better life, and even better revenge against her terrible pimp. The problem is Foxxy doesn’t know if she should trust him. I honestly loved these two and reading their story. I was on the edge of my seat a lot of the time hoping and praying that Foxxy would get her happily ever after. I will definitely be back for book two in the series and I can’t wait to see what adventure awaits us there!

Abbott – Review by Liz Vrchota
I was so taken with the first book in this The Divided Series from M. Billiter and Kyle Thomas. I personally don’t think that this one should be read until you have first read the first book. In that one we meet the twins and discover the demons they are battling as well as the impact that they have on their family and life. In this one, The Divided Twin, we pick up when the twins are away at college and focus on the boys in a time of life that is complicated to live without an altering mental illness. I love how raw these books get. It is obvious the topic is close to the heart of the authors and it shines through in the way this takes no punches yet throws them over and over in a way that will make you question everything. I can’t get enough of these books and am really hopeful we will get more in the future of the twins stories. I will say this book takes really dark issues and may be triggering to some. I also feel like it is a good window into a world most are completely unaware exists and should be read, so proceed with what will be best for you.

I highly recommend getting this set so you can binge read this entire series. The Ashes to Ashes series is an intense, edge-of-your-seat thriller that will keep you up at night turning the pages.
The characters in these books are complex. The world building is amazing! And, the story line is a winding road of mystery, suspense, danger, drama, and intrigue. There are many layers to uncover along with the characters as you read.
This series is a non-stop roller coaster ride you won’t want to get off of.

Virtually Gone is the sixth book in the High-Tech Crime Solvers Series-contributed by Jacquie Biggar. The High-Tech Crime Solvers Series is a multi-author collaboration, each bringing their own story to the mix while using an interlocking cast of characters as well as the high-tech crime solving theme. I was so excited to read this book after seeing the title of this book, and series. I love a good mystery/crime story- and the ‘high-tech’ component increased the intrigue for me. Add Ms. Biggar to the mix and I couldn’t one-click quick enough. Ms. Biggar is one of my go-to authors, whenever I see her name pop up, I know I am going to be getting a great read. So having said that- I must admit that I haven’t read any of the other books in this collection- and now feel that perhaps I should have, as there were a few instances in this book where I felt as if I were missing something, or should have known more about the circumstances, but didn’t. This is the first time I have come away from one of Ms. Biggar’s books feeling just a little disappointed. Don’t get me wrong- this is an interesting and entertaining story, but I had such high expectations for it and I was expecting to be blown away by it- so I feel like there was a bit of a missed opportunity to make this book incredible. I will try to explain why I feel this way. The story was building to be quite a suspenseful cat-and-mouse game- but fell a bit short- I think there needed to be more tension, suspense and drama. I felt that the story was a bit rushed and cut short in places where the tension could have been developed more- with just a little bit ‘more’ story and development that this book would have been stellar. Overall, I just felt like I was missing details, that important parts of the story were passed over- which makes me wonder if these details are contained in the other books of the series? While the story was quite detailed and descriptive in places- we could have done with a little less detail on the ‘scenery’ and more details on the more important aspects such as the backstory, character details, the cat and mouse game, and the ‘high-tech’ components. The depth, drama, suspense, and psychological tension were lacking for me. There were also a few contradictions in the storyline, as well as continuity issues. I really wanted to be blown away by this book and feel bad that I can’t give this the five stars that I was expecting to.

Many of us have tragic things happen in our lives. Things that are never far from our hearts and minds. In Virtually Gone (High-Tech Crime Solvers Book 6) by Jacquie Biggar , detective Matthew Roy…has just that situation. Pulled into a serial killer’s path of destruction Matt will have to deal with the pain from a past tragedy. Will he be able to set that aside to catch this killer? It’s an enlightening journey to get into his head. This story comes with a promise of a future romance. I really like those slow starters.
Boy on Hold by JD Spero is a Young Adult thriller that once I started reading I couldn’t stop till I finished. This is my first read by this Author but definitely not my last. The twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. Hen is a young boy who was out one night trying to catch a hedgehog but ended up seeing the murder of Miss Sally. What will happen when a prank turns into a violent crime? What will happen when the truth gets uncovered? What will happen to when Family secrets are exposed? This book may be for the young teens but adults can read especially if you like thriller/suspense. I can’t wait to read more from this Author. Highly recommend this book.

Martimus (Feisty Lawyers Book 5) by Seelie Kay was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning. This was a great quick read. There are socialites that have gone missing, which includes a former vice president’s daughter.
Who is involved? Can Cate and the team solve the mystery?
Cate goes undercover trying to get information on the missing. I loved her possessive boyfriend Hazelton, he isn’t really thrilled about all the men eyeing up Cate. He is a former Navy Seal and can be very intimidating.
We get twists and turns, action, mystery, suspense and so much more. You can read it as a stand alone but reading in order will help you connect with the characters better. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. If you’re looking for a great read, 1-click and get started today.

Billiter does an amazing job tackling a difficult subject in this book and series. This second book is best read in series order. This book follows Aaron and Branson and David and explores schizophrenia. A difficult topic but an amazing exploration of relationships and mental health. I was glued to the pages and really enjoy Billiter collaborating with her son in this book. Extremely well done.

Billiter with Kyle Thomas – Review by Heather Lovelace
The Divided Twin is the second book in M. Billiter’s series Divided that her son Kyle contributed to heavily. I would not recommend you to read it as a standalone as it is the same family as in book one, it is simply that the first book it was Tara, the mother, who was the lead, and in this one it was her sons, the twins Aaron and Branson. By giving us their story, from their point of view, Mary took us into a different direction and also the tone of the story changed into much more ‘young adult’. If you have read the first book then you know that the series touches upon some very serious subject matters, the mental illness the most central one, and not only from the point of view of the person suffering it but also how it affects the whole family and their friends. As the writer has experience with this type of mental illness that is in the center stage of Divided through her son Kyle then it gets as real as it can and she approaches it all using facts and compassion that makes it even more real. There are twists and turns and I think it is really the second half of the book when the story got so ramped up that I was left destroyed by the end. I have to say it was hard to keep Branson and Aaron apart and quite often I had to go back to the beginning of the chapter to be reminded of whose head we were in but at the same time I do understand it as they were identical twins and they both suffered from the illness though it took slightly different shape and form from one twin to the other and one of them acknowledge and worked with it and the other one not … Thank you Mary and Kyle for tackling this taboo subject and sharing it with us! It is a story that will haunt me for days to come!

Boy On Hold by JD Spero was a great read! I was instantly enthralled in this novel, and couldn’t put it down! The imagery is amazing, the plot is great, the characters are incredible. I honestly felt like I was right there beside each and every character while I was reading this book. Not only is the crime part great, it was very thrilling and very psychological as well! I love reading books that have good psychology in them, and this one was no exception! This was the first novel I’ve read from Spero before, and I can’t wait to read more in the future!

I was really looking forward to reading the second book in this series as the first one intrigued me so much and again I found it be a fascinating read. The twins, Aaron and Branson, are really complex characters and I have enjoyed trying to understand them. Again the book delves into mental health and I think the authors did a great job with writing about it. I loved all the twists and turns in the story – some of them very unexpected!! Overall a good read, not my usual genre but a good storyline and complex characters kept my interest throughout.

Billiter with Kyle Thomas – Review by Katie Matthews
Martimus is the fifth book in the Feisty Lawyer’s series. You can read this as a standalone, but you’ll probably have a better experience if you read the previous ones to get the background on the other characters.
I like the premise of this book. I had a difficult time getting past the way the main character, Cate, was written when she has to slip into her undercover role. There is something about intelligent women acting less than their smarts that just grates on me when it is written in certain ways. Now, on the flip side of that, I did feel an emotion when I read those parts, so the author has definitely given you an emotional connection. In that respect, it is written in a way that does engage you.
Martimus is full of action, suspense, and mystery as the characters are searching for missing socialites. It also has some steamy romance to spice things up. The use of the underwater habitat was interesting and gives added dimension to the story.
Overall, once I got past my initial aversion to the previously mentioned aspect, it was an entertaining read and kept me turning the pages.

This is the 5th book in this series and I’ve read all of the books before. I love this series and this author’s style of writing, the way she can merge in storylines and although being a partly romantic series she has a way of making the romance only come forward when needed, while you’re focused on the suspenseful part of the series.
I really liked this one, and it was nice getting to see the gang again. I loved the lab under water and would have loved spending a whole lot more time down there, this fascinates me and loved this addition to the story.
I highly recommend reading all of this series since the characters are in and out of all the books, you’ll find that you love some and then some you’ll have a little less love for but as a whole it all works perfectly.

Martimus is the intriguing fifth instalment in the Feisty Lawyers Series by Seelie Kay. This is another clever, complex, and well developed story- intriguing and suspenseful- and in true Seelie Kay fashion, it packs quite a punch! This is a quick and easy read with all the elements needed to make it an engrossing read: -Missing young wealthy socialites with influential parents- one of which being the former VP’s daughter. Check -A mysterious and state of the art underwater habitat dedicated to pharmaceutical research. Check -A bit of a mystery surrounding the fact that the facility uses prisoners for labour, but they are never heard from again. Check -A beautiful Agent and her protective former Navy SEAL lover, caught up in all the intrigue and action. Check -A plan to infiltrate Martimus and find out exactly what is going on. Check -Plenty of action, suspense, mystery, dramatic developments, twists and turns, and edge of your seat reading. Check -A wily adversary. Check -Danger and intensity at every turn. Check -And a tense race against time. Check

I wasn’t quite sure what I was in for when I picked up this book. But I knew I would be quite a ride and I was right. Emotional. Just extremely emotional. And some amazing character development. Definitely some twists I didn’t expect but I did enjoy every page.

Abbott – Review by Heather Lovelace
5 Star Martimus (Feisty Lawyers Book 5) by Seelie Kay Martimus is the fifth book in the Feisty Lawyers Series by Seelie Kay. This is a wonderfully written romantic suspense story that once I started reading I couldn’t put it down till I finished. To me this is one of those series that I will be reading over and over again. From the very beginning I was drawn in, its got action , danger , suspense and even romance. I can’t recommend this series and Author enough so with that being said I highly recommend reading this whole series. I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. In this book Agent Cate has a new assignment, eight socialites have gone missing but it seems no one cares until the Vice President’s daughter becomes one of the missing . Will they be found? Where did they all go? Find out what happens next in this must read . I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.
