Evil Sushi (Evil Sushi Series) by C.A. King – Review by Rose McCaskey

Evil Sushi (Evil Sushi #1)Evil Sushi by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’ve read some of C.A. King’s other stories and they were good but this one was probably the best one I’ve read so far. It’s a very interesting take on some of the global issues we have actually been facing and a nice spin for a semi-fairy tale. I really enjoyed it. I believe it would be a good book for young teens to read. It has elements that remind me of the writing style the Goosebumps were written in. Can’t wait to read books 2 and 3!

Under Jackson Bridge by Susan Specht Oram – Review by Callie Luna

Under Jackson Bridge: A thriller (Beyond the Bridge Book 1)Under Jackson Bridge: A thriller by Susan Specht Oram
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Welcome back to Millersville! Under Jackson Bridge is another excellently paced thriller by Susan Specht Oram. A boating trip with old high school friends turns into a scary situation when Jack falls overboard without a life jacket. Irena Fishbone, Jack’s ex-wife (and friend), will not rest until she finds out what happened to him. I enjoyed Irena due to her motherly love for her daughter, Kelly, and that she does her passion for a living (saving stranded boaters). All the characters are fleshed out, so they feel as if they exist. If you have read other books in the Millersville series some familiar characters return such as Violet, Karina, Bets, and Zerk. The pacing of this thriller is perfect! The big reveal at the end is worth the read alone.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I kept going back and forth on whether or not to read this book. Why did I consider it? I have enjoyed other books by this author. The name and cover intrigued me. I love sushi. Why did I almost pass it up? The synopsis. It honestly didn’t sound like something I would enjoy. I ended up choosing to read it in the end because it sounded weird. I figured at the very least, if I didn’t care for the story, I thought I would be entertained. I also knew that I liked the author’s style of writing.
So did I actually like it? Well, I gave it 5 stars. This book was weird. It was unexpected. It was enjoyable. The story was well written and it was fast paced. The only complaint is that I didn’t really feel like we got to know the characters well enough. There was a bit of a lack of connection to the story because of that. At the end of the day, I would actually be interested in reading the next book in the series. It was an enjoyable read.

This book was definitely unexpected. A unique blend of horror and humor make for a weirdly believable scenario.

It’s different and refreshing. There are two other books in this series ( so far ) and I’ve already committed to reading them too!

3.5 Stars

 

The Book of Fears by K.S. Gantt is a collection of 8 short and disturbing stories that highlight some intriguing phobias. This is a creepy horror-esque fest full of tension, dramatic developments, twisty turns, and suspense. There are trigger warnings of violence, abuse, and more- so if you have any triggers, you will want to check out the TW’s before diving in.
This also appears to be Ms. Gantt’s debut novel, as when I had finished this I went looking for more of her work, but this is the only one that showed up…. So I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more of her work in the future.
The stories in the collection are:
-Let’s Go Home Wolfie (Autophobia)
-Not In My House (Katsaridaphobia)
-I’ll Float Away (Lepidopterophobia)
-Friday the 13th (Paraskevidekatriaphobia)
-Deep Thoughts (Taphephobia)
-It’s All Fun and Games (Thanatophobia)
-Happy Anniversary (Ophidiophobia)
-Have You Seen My Wallet (Trypanophobia)

I loved that this collection was so different from what I have been reading of late, and reminded me that I haven’t had enough of this genre in my reading ‘diet’ of late…
Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Gantt produces next.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, K.S. Gantt!

Evil Sushi (Evil Sushi #1)Evil Sushi by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an overall engaging and easy read. Even with reading the synopsis and reviews, I wasn’t quite expecting what I got with this story. The writing style was surprisingly simple, making the story flow and easy to turn the pages. It was fast paced and unique. The setting was intriguing to me and helped setup the story. We find Ned, Rod, and Sally —our main three characters—in an east coast town during a time where people mostly think only of themselves and where food supply, especially fish, is depleted. In a town where fishing is a primary occupation, many are struggling due to the scarcity of resources. Then Rod and Ned make a discovery that will change their lives—little did they know just how it will change their lives as well as the world around them, placing them in the middle of a nightmare.

While the story was engaging and unique, I personally felt the overall story and characters were lacking some depth. Aside from that, the uniqueness really drew me in and I found the main characters to be likable. Ultimately, this was a fast read that I’d recommend!

Under Jackson Bridge by Susan Specht Oram – Review by Santana Hicks

Under Jackson Bridge: A thriller (Beyond the Bridge Book 1)Under Jackson Bridge: A thriller by Susan Specht Oram
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Irena goes on a boat to celebrate the promotion of one of their friends. Joined with her is ex-husband Jack, their daughter Kelly, and Irena’s new boyfriend Buzz. What started as a celebration quickly turned sour when things were tense between the whole lot of them. Jack was in a sour mood and refused to listen to the boat rules or appear to even care. The water turns choppy quickly and Jack refuses to join them in the cabin. Irena goes out to at least make him wear a life jacket and instead the duo go overboard. Irena makes it back to the boat but there is no sign of Jack anywhere.

Irena makes it her mission to find her ex dead or alive for the sake of their daughter and for closure. She searches the waters, his apartment and everywhere in between and does not come up empty handed. Unfortunately all clues are pointing at something more secretive than Irena imagined. She learns that not all is as it seems and everyone has secrets. She doesn’t know who to trust anymore. Even Buzz is starting to show red flags. Irena has to get to the bottom of Jack’s disappearance if she wants to get closure for her and her daughter whether it be good or bad.

I really wanted to enjoy this book. The plot has potential but I couldn’t really get into it because it was very repetitive and the characters were dull in my opinion. None of the characters had much of a personality other than a glimpse here and there making it hard for me to connect to anyone. The story was written mostly in Irena’s POV but every so often you got another character’s POV to see their side of things more clearly.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this small town psychological thriller which had me hooked from page one. Single Mum to a teenage daughter Irena Fishbone is owed ten years of child support by her ex-husband, Jack. Having built up a thriving business which she now runs along with repairing boat engines and her daughter she leads a hectic life. Both Irena, her new boyfriend and Jack are invited to a celebration onboard a ship with a group of their high school friends. Being his usual stubborn self Jack refuses to wear his life jacket infuriating Irena. When they are both swept overboard by a rogue wave and swept away only Irene returns to the boat. Whilst the Coast Guard scours the sea Irena organises her own search party. With Jack still missing Irena becomes suspicious when she discovers damning financial records, furtive friends and obscure messages along with a web of lies. This was a gripping page turner of a read with an intriguing storyline and lots of plot twists. The suspense really built chapter by chapter and I felt fully immersed in the story as the characters and the setting were brought to life through the descriptive narrative.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I know we’ve all heard “don’t judge a book by it’s cover” but let’s be honest, the cover is the first thing that draws you in; and I feel that this one is lacking and might have pushed some people away.

I wasn’t expecting the book to be what it was, honestly, which I enjoyed. I know the blurb says not zombies, but I was expecting something similar at least. I think it’s cool and different how the author twisted this “breakout.” I liked the characters, I think Sally could use some work, I hope she has had some character growth in book two. I found Ned to be hilarious, he’s just your average, friendly, hillbilly but I like that he’s one of the main characters and that he’s going to be helping to end this thing. There’s humor, non-trusting government, a mysterious breakout, and an ending that leaves you wanting to read book two. This is such an entertaining and quick read that I believe sci-fi, dystopian, and maybe a little fantasy (magical realism) readers will enjoy.

This is a fantastic collection of short, psychologically thrilling stories. There are trigger warnings so definitely check those out before reading but like Gantt mentions none of the triggers are overtly discussed; however, they may bring up some feelings because of this. While I wouldn’t classify these stories as “scary” (I grew up on Stephen King and watching scary movies as a young child…many thanks to my aunt), they are very disturbing in a make-you-uncomfortable way. I really enjoyed these very different but disturbing eight short stories and I think you will too. As I said before, please check the trigger warnings first, but if you love stories that will make you uncomfortable and make you feel things you wish you didn’t then pick up this collection today!

For starters, check out this beautiful cover!! I love the colors!!

I am becoming more and more a fan of Susan Specht Oram! I’ve read a few of her books and have not been disappointed yet!

This is a fast paced thriller involving single mom Irena. She’s been waiting forever on her ex-husband to make amends on back child support. He can’t help but keep buying shoes though! When the two exes end up on a boat together, they both go overboard and only one returns.

This is full of twists and turns, most of which you don’t see coming! This held my interest so much that I had a hard time putting it down! I’m looking forward to what’s coming next by this author!

I picked up this book as C.A. King has become an auto read author for me after reading several of their other works. The cover was also eye-catching and as an individual allergic to the majority of Sushi a way to interact with it without dying. That said I did not die from reading Evil Sushi but did enjoy this book. There was a lack of character connection and depth. The premise of the story was different from other books I have read.

Things start going a little haywire in Irena’s life when her ex-husband falls overboard on a boat trip they were taking with friends. As Irena searches for Jack, the information she finds is not adding up. Jack was in mega debt. He was supposedly running a scam with a friend, Craig. Irena’s boyfriend, Buzz, is not who she thought he was.

As the web of lies starts unraveling, it looks more and more like Jack disappeared on purpose. But maybe not for the reasons everyone thinks. Maybe Jack is one of the good guys after all.

Find yourself wrapped up in this Millersville mystery. It is worth the read.

Under Jackson Bridge by Susan Specht Oram – Review by Jessie Hopkins

Holy Cow, Susan has done it again. I had the hardest time putting this book down. If it weren’t for other life commitments, I would have read it in one sitting.

I was so invested in Kelly finding out what happened to her dad, Jack, and cheering her on as she stood up to her Mom, Irena, and her Mom’s boyfriend, Buzz, when they would try to hide things from her. She had a few moments where she did act her age, but through the majority of the book she really showed how mature and wise beyond her years that she really was.
Irena and Kelly really deal with a group of men that think that they are females that need to be protected and sheltered from things, however they ontinue to show how strong they both are.

After 3 books, I am absolutely invested in Millersville and want to read more about every person that lives in the town.

I love that this is a spinoff of one of my favorite series. If you’re looking for a good suspenseful thriller, Under Jackson Bridge is great. It’s a great beginning to a new series. Any book I’ve read by this author series or not reads extremely well as a standalone novel. Trust me when I say if you haven’t read this author before, once you do you’ll want more.
Irena and Jack share a daughter and a group of friends despite being divorced. Though their marriage didn’t work they still remained good friends. A group of friends that were going to celebrate a mutual friend’s promotion on his boat. It was meant to be a great celebration and turned into a tragedy.
Jack was acting strangely yet was still there for his friends. He was in trouble and decided to do something about it. Yet he didn’t let anyone into what was going on. Though right before the accident happened he let his Irena know he owes someone a lot of money, a bad investment. Next thing they knew they were tossed overboard and Jack was gone. But is he really?
While Irena and her daughter enlist plenty of people to try and find Jack. They begin to unravel a dangerous second life Jack was living. Putting them in danger.
Will they find Jack alive?
Will Irena and Kelly be able to stay safe?
This author keeps you on the edge of your seat. Keeps the reader turning the page. And I personally can’t wait for more!

While I did have some suspicions, I didn’t figure it all out. I really want to know more about how Craig was involved and see what happens to Jack’s shoe collection. Hopefully the 2nd book in the series wraps all that up.

Under Jackson Bridge is Book 1 in the newest series Beyond the Bridge…and I was already intrigued by the cover of the book and curious what Susan Specht Oram had in store for my reading pleasure. Right from the beginning I was hook as a simple boat outing with a circle of friends leads to two people going overboard and one ends up missing. The amount of intrigue, suspicion, deception, mystery with twists and turns….who can you trust when entangled in so many secrets.

Irena and her group of close friends go out on a boat ride for celebration which includes her exhusband, Jack. When stubborn behavior leads Jack overboard on a rogue wave along with Irena …. what is left is Irena trying to put together the pieces when Jack continues to be missing and the search is on…especially thinking of their daughter, Kelly. With shady details and so many questions… is Jack still alive….or no…

This is a great thriller story and I highly recommend this book to any lover of fast paced suspense thrillers!! Well done!!

I picked this book to read because of the cover. It seemed to intrigue me and it seemed so different from anything I have read recently, so I figured why not. To say that I was not expecting anything that happened in this book to happen, is saying the least. I wasn’t sure what to expect with the theme of this book. I was thinking maybe post apocalyptic or something along those lines. It is not. It is actually written very currently. I did enjoy that part of the book. Let me rephrase that, I did enjoy this book. I only gave it 4 stars because I felt a lack of connection with the characters. The characters are developed but there is a miss-connect between the story and the reader. Other than that, this book had a current and new look into the paranormal. It made me want to keep turning the pages and continuing to see what was going to happen next. I was very pleasantly surprised by what was on the pages. It is a fresh concept into a genre that I was not expecting. I will continue to read the following books in this series because maybe the characters will reach out to me in the following books. I am just excited to see what comes next.

I was excited to come across Under Jackson Bridge in the kindle store because I’ve read books by Susan Specht Oram in the best and really enjoyed them. I really enjoyed this book overall, though there were some things toward the beginning of the storyline that made me a little judgy. Things so insignificant now that I’ve finished the book, I couldn’t list them… except for Jack and his shoes! While there were times that I felt the storyline was a little slow to pick up, I loved that by the time I got to the end of a chapter, I was left in suspense and needed to read “just one more”. Each of the main characters made me suspicious and I never quite warmed up to them but the writing and twists of the storyline make it absolutely worth the ride. I am honestly excited that the author is releasing this as a series and look forward to seeing what book number two is like!

3.5 Stars

 

Under Jackson Bridge is the first instalment in the Beyond the Bridge Series by Susan Specht Oram is a bit of a twisty psychological thriller full of dramatic developments, tension, and suspense.
Irena Fishbone’s relationship with her ex-husband takes an even more complicated turn while when on a celebratory cruise with friends, the two end up in the water, but only Irene makes it out. What happened to Jack? The question plagues Irene, and with no body, there is little chance of closure. With some perplexing and intriguing discoveries, Irene begins to unravel a tangled web of secrets and lies- and the story takes a suspenseful turn.
Looking forward to seeing what Book #2 brings!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Susan Specht Oram!
