Such a fan of this book and Clayton, not Clay. I could not put it down and I cannot wait to see what happens next! All of the characters were relatable and I found myself rooting for Clayton throughout! Shake Down was one of the best I’ve read recently! Looking forward to the next adventure!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jessica and Seth are both attracted to each other but fear doing anything because they are work partners. I loved the chemistry between which brought awkward facts on their ride to pick up a sociopath in Denver. Watching this play out was a little painful and a delight. Jessica’s family is a little dysfunctional and they use that against her.She worries about whether or not she is worthy of a relationship. Seth wants to show her she is. He wants to take care of her. Can these two figure this out? Can she let him in? Add the drama of the sociopath escaping and trying to get her. This was a new author to me and I’m now a new fan. The writing is superb. I was on the edge of my seat through this action. She left me feeling like I was in the middle of the drama. Jack is one sick puppy. The characters were very well-written. You could feel the emotions, the personalities and just every little quirk about them. The plot with its twists flowed so smooth. It made for a wonderful romantic suspense. Definitely an author I would recommend.

This is a fantastic suspenseful and romantic story that had me gripped right from the start. The story is the perfect amount of romance and thrilling intrigued to keep both genres interested. The characters are completely relatable. The have a depth to them that you sort always find in suspense books and I was behind them the whole way.
As a new author to me I wasn’t sure what to expect but after this book I am definitely a fan. I loved the writing style and the overall pace of the book. She knew exactly how to engage her readers and keep them hooked from beginning to end. I can’t wait to discover more of her work in the future.

I really enjoyed this story. I loved the mix of crime and romance. The twists and turns made this a very gripping story. The author does an amazing job with the characters and with their background it gives them real depth. I loved how both Jess and Seth have feelings for each other but neither feels brave enough to tell the other how they feel.
Their chemistry is great and the way they interact with each other in a fun teasing way makes their feelings clear to everyone but them.

Jess and Seth have been on a manhunt for a serial killer. Now they have their man they need to travel to collect him and bring him to face trial. With the times it’s going to take to get their and back Seth sees this as a chance to break down the walls and get to know Jess better. However with a serial killer in their car and a journey back full of problems things won’t be smooth.

With the serial killer in question out for vengence and his target being none other than Jess, both Seth and Jess struggling with their feelings and dealing with Jess ‘s family this is one story where you will not know what’s going to happen unless you read it.
Will Jess and Seth confess their feelings? Now that the serial killer has Jess in his sight will he be able to get his revenge? Will the confusing feelings between the partners make their job harder and cloud their judgement of their job?

I’m Not Your Difference a Fitz Series Book 4 by Theresa Sederholt
The book is packed with love, acceptance and very family oriented. I could not put the book down and wanted more. What Stephen ad Andy have to go though is extraordinary and they do an amazing job.
This is a story of Stephen and Andy’s love for each other, Stone’s hatred and the DeMazzi’s prejudice ways that bring the story together.
This is the fourth book in the Fitz Series that can stand alone. After reading this book, I am very interested in the other stories. All the characters are so well done that I let like I knew them.
The book begins with how MJ, Fitz and Andy grew up together and the relationships they now have, and how they are all so close knit and look out for each other. It’s about how Andy deals with his illness and raises his adopted daughter, Stella. Stephen has a problem with both and leaves, finding Stone. Stone realizes Stephen still loved Andy and wants revenge, which becomes life threatening for both Stephen and Andy. In the end, the revenge makes Andy take a closer look at what life is bringing him.

The Detail by Dana Wayne was a surprising find, in a great way. She might have been a new-to-me author, but now that I have a taste for her stories, that is something I plan to remedy immediately. Ms. Wayne weaves a brilliant romantic suspense here, with all the ingredients that I look for in an engrossing story.
Detective Jessica Foster has been on a manhunt for a serial killer that has had her tied up in knots for far too long. When he is finally captured, she and her partner end up on cross-country journey to bring him back home so justice can be served. But things don’t quite go according to plan. With a deranged killer hell bent on revenge, secret feelings for her partner, family problems, and several crafty twists add to the intensity. Let the cat and mouse games begin!
I can’t wait to explore Dana Wayne’s other books…
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Dana Wayne!

Shake Down is the first book in the First Coast Thriller series by Armand Rosamilia. As this is my first foray into Mr. Rosamilia’s work, I was unsure of what to expect- but I love a great crime thriller, and as I am a bit of a book addict, I devour my way through dozens of books a month and so I am always looking for more authors to add to my TBR list- so one-click I did and plunged into the adventure.
Clayton Conway was forced off the police force due to his own doing. Mistakes that left him with little choice but to go into the repo game- recovering cars and boats to make ends meet. But when a powerboat belonging to a notorious cartel comes up for repo, things take a dangerous turn. What happens next? You will need to read all the intriguing details for yourself!
I will definitely be joining Clayton for more adventures in the future. As well as keeping a lookout for anything else Mr. Rosamilia produces. Now I’m off to read ‘Throw Down’ (Book #2 First Coast Thriller Series).
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Armand Rosamilia!

Murder Creek (Audio Book) by Jane Suen – Review by Torey Foster

/0 Comments/in /by

Murder Creek is a story of a journalism student working on a story of a disappearance that took place 20 years ago at Murder Creek. Lacey disappeared leaving only a bloody scarf behind. Eve is drawn to the case and believes there are dark secrets to be uncovered and not everything is as it seems in this town. The more she investigates, the more danger she is in, as not everyone wants secrets revealed and they will do everything they can to prevent her from digging them up.
I have to say I really enjoyed this story. It has a great plot, full of mystery and danger. I would definitely recommend you buy the book, BUT NOT THE AUDIO VERSION. I really struggled listening to this reader. It was like she was trying too hard to act throughout the whole reading, to the point of distracting from the story. She would be reading a suspenseful or scary part but would talk super soft like you would talk to a small child. Her tone did not fit what was happening in the story at all and for me, it made it hard to listen to and to keep my attention on what would normally be a book that I couldn’t put down. I would have preferred a robot voice. Justice was not done to this great story, in the audio version, but I would definitely recommend you read it yourself or use the text-to-speech option.

Eve Sawyer is a journalism college student. She had her report done already, but felt there was another mystery to solve in Murder Creek with a disappearance long ago. In this town, she meets many people, pulls out clues from interesting sources, and you wouldn’t believe the result! Absolutely a great read!

Wow……..as I sit here I cannot stop thinking about this book.
Eve is a college student who happens to come across a place called “Murder Creek” in her travels.  This totally intrigues Eve, and after some searching about this place, she stumbles upon a cold case of a woman who disappeared years earlier.  Eve is drawn to this story and decides to investigate further to write her research paper on for her journalism college class.  Little did Even k now once she opened up old wounds…secrets come out.
If you love a story with a cold case mystery feel, deceit, lies, secrets, twits and heartbreak…definitely listen to this book. Wow!! What a story!

An intriguing murder mystery with a few twists along the way. Being in the head of a journalist on a mission was interesting and made you feel like you were doing the investigating. I would have liked the mystery to be a bit higher stakes and make it more exciting to follow, but it was interesting none the less. The ending was so heartfelt and concluded the mystery in a great way. I will definitely be looking for more from this author.

A fantastic audio book! This author never fails to entertain me with her writing and I love that I never really know what I’m going to get when I decide on one of her books. I thought the main characters took a little bit of time for me to warm to but once I did I thought she was great! She was definitely determined to find out what happened to Lacey! The narrator really brought the story to life and I certainly felt like I was right there with eve collecting clues and trying to find out what. Happened.

Overall a great audio book and one that I would highly recommend.

He knows …. She knows … I know but they don’t know , does that makes sense 😂

I was enjoying the banter between Jessica and Seth , their awkward flirts and their dynamics as a working couple and then BOOM action hits , it was like a punch to my gut and I felt winded !!!

Jack is a really bad bad man with a very dark heart and he has such a grudge against Jessica you can actually feel the hatred he has for her and my skin crawls whenever he’s near and he deserves the death penalty but he’s a slippery one …

This was an absolute adrenaline rush for me it had me on the edge of my seat , it had romance , it had steam and it had me scared !

I'm Not Your Difference (Fitz, #4)I’m Not Your Difference by Theresa Sederholt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m Not Your Difference is the fourth book in the Fitz Series of mystery stories. This book highlights the character Andy, introduced in the earlier books as Fitz’s brother-in-law and close friend. The crime part of the story centres around a homophobic serial killer, with Fitz fighting to prove that what appear to be a series of guilt-ridden suicides are not what they seem. Meanwhile, Andy is trying to get back on the dating scene as a single father with early onset Parkinson’s.

This is a sensitive story, with many scenes focusing on domestic and family life. We see in flashbacks Andy’s family coming together to support him when he’s diagnosed sun Parkinson’s, and later their concern for him as he agrees to reconnect with his ex. We also see Andy’s love for his adoptive daughter, Stella, as well as his niece and nephew.

This book works alright as a standalone, if there are themes in it that particularly interest you. But reading it as part of the series will give you more background for the other characters.

I’m Not Your Difference gets five stars from me – an enjoyable and captivating read!

This was my first audio book in many, many years… and I was amazed at just how fast I was pulled into the story! I could not stop listening. Jane Suen created a story and characters that were seamless and relatable. Eve was the perfect heroine – a determined college student who wanted to find the truth about a cold case in a small town. Her relentless drive kept me engaged and I finished Murder Creek in one sitting! Very compelling and intriguing.

Murder Creek (Audio) is a  Mystery that is packed with action, murder, mystery and suspense. I truly enjoyed listening to this fast paced story as much as I did reading it.  The narrator did an amazing job of bringing the story and characters alive. Her different tones pulled me in and I found myself lost (caught up) in the story and nothing else got done.  I’m a huge fan of this author and I’m definitely going to check out more audio from her. Get ready to be taken on a journey of  mystery and suspense  in Murder Creek as  Evie tries to solve the mystery of the disappearance of Lacey Walker. Evie  doesn’t stop until she has the answers and some are where she never expected them to be.  Will  she uncover the truth of what really happened?  Will she  uncover why Lacey Walker disappeared?  I highly recommend listening to this fast paced story to find out what happens next.  I can’t wait to listen to more books by this author.

I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting into when I picked this book but I think I found myself a new favorite author. This was the perfect combination of suspense and romance. Detectives Foster and Hamilton are sent to retrieve an inmate and bring him back to Dallas to face justice. They had spent many months hunting the man down and he was hauled in for something minor. The inmate has plans for Ms. Foster and none of them pertain to having a nice chat over coffee. In the meantime these two detectives are fighting to maintain a professional relationship instead of giving in to the sexual tension that runs between them. After picking up their ward they are heading back to base when things take a wrong turn. The killer gets away and he is hell bent on getting his prize, Detective Foster. How will things play out between the detectives? Is there a happily ever after in their future or will she become the victim of a sadistic man?

This is an author that I have loved reading and I was excited to pick up one of her audio books, it didn’t let me down.  I enjoyed how the narrator is able to pull me into the story.  The different tones that were used made the story engaging to listen to.  I enjoyed how the characters brought the story to life.  This story is a journey of suspense, mystery that takes place in a town named for past murders.   A story where it could mean life or death.  A story full of action and suspense.  You don’t want to miss this audiobook.  It is one of my favorites by this author  yet.  I highly recommend this audiobook.
