Deadly Weapon (Jake Wolfe Book 5)
by Mark Nolan

What a great read!! I have been enjoying this series from the beginning. I love reading about the adventure that Jake and Cody find themselves on. This book is full of action, danger, suspense, twists and turns and so much more. I was happy to see that characters from the other books were brought to this one. It’s always a pleasure to read the pages that have Cody talking. I found myself on the edge of my seat throughout most of this book. The author is an exceptional writer that keeps me entertained and I find it impossible to put the book down until I finish it. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. I highly recommend this book.

5 out of 5 stars

Wow I really enjoyed book 5 the Deadly weapon than the other books in this series. I have always liked Jake and Cody and how resilient they can be in minutes. These characters are amazing and the plot is intense.
Jake and Cody are in trouble yet again trying to save the world. It seems like every time Jake takes a vacation its always cut short. Jake is Alaska visiting his friend Tuktu, a fellow combat veteran, now has a fishing guide business. While fishing Jake and Cody her something and look up and see helicopter come into view, and its coming in fast and he knows something is up.
He checks his phone and notices a few missed calls and when he answers McKay asks if she can trust him and the next thing you know he is cutting his trip short to head back. After Loading the helicopter, they find Ron one of the best pilots around was with Ron was with Tuktu in Somalia.
Where is Jake going? Can he catch the bad guys before they set of the deadly weapon that will destroy the word?
You will have to read this story in can be read as a standalone but I advise to read all the books in this series….

Devil's Claw: Logan Book 3 (The Logan McKenna Series)Devil’s Claw: Logan Book 3 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Devil’s Claw is the third book in Valerie Davisson’s Logan McKenna series as well as the third book I’ve raad by this author. I’ve said it before but I will repeat myself again, I truly enjoy Logan as a strong female lead and this time around I enjoyed the inclusion of her daughter as well. While any of these books can be read as stand alone reads, I recommend reading in order. Not only does this allow for more character depth, the books really are worth it.
Valerie Davisson has a way of bringing real life issues to light while delivering a story that is filled with enough action and intrigue to keep you turning from first page to last. I truly look forward to more from this author… and more Logan McKenna. 4 out of 5 stars for sure!

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

Deadly Weapon is the fifth book in Mark Nolan’s Jake Wolfe series and Jake and Cody are back to save the world! They are in Alaska for some hard earned time out, fishing salmon and taking in the awesomeness that is Alaska. Jake has turned off the rest of the world so it is just him, Cody and his friend Tuktu … but obviously, like always, something goes wrong and their services are needed … this time to stop rouge operatives who are working on a weapon of mass destruction. You can read the story as a standalone as the writer gives us a story in its own rights in each of the books but as there are characters that you meet from story to story and you will want to be part of the journey that Jake and Cody are on then I suggest you start from the beginning … I promise you will fall in love with both Jake and Cody and even if you are not so fond of dogs, you dream of having a dog like Cody so in this story I am really excited about Cody’s puppies!
The story pulls you in from chapter 1 and you are thrown up in the air on a halo that takes you on one heck of a ride filled with action and danger and assassins while dodging hidden agendas and explosions … I love how the writer utilises the multiple POV’s as it helps us to go even deeper into the storyline, the extensive research he does for each of his Jake Wolfe books is mind blowing so that means every story I read I constantly keep pinching myself and I find myself wondering what if … Thank you for these tense suspense filled hours and I cannot wait to see what is next in store for Jake and Cody (and Sarah and Skye)!

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

Deadly Weapon is the fifth action-packed adventure in Mark Nolan’s Jake Wolfe series. Jake is a former marine who can’t seem to sit still (or in this case, fish in peace) without getting roped into some top secret, high stakes mission. His service dog, Cody, is also a former marine and his training makes him an indispensable part of the team.
The plot of Deadly Weapon centres around a biological weapon involving a deadly and highly contagious virus. So if you’re looking for a book that will take your mind off COVID-19, this ain’t it. But it’s a good story and for me being very aware of the damage a virus like that can do and how slow the process is to find a vaccine enhanced the tension and urgency of the story.
I really like Cody, the dog. He’s very characterful and loveable! I particularly like the scenes that are from Cody’s point of view (the whole story uses third person over-the-shoulder narration, moving occasionally between different perspectives). From Cody’s perspective, we encounter the world primarily through scent and are reminded of his loyalty and drive to carry out his orders.
In Deadly Weapon, we get to visit some great places including Alaska and Hawaii. In amongst the action, it’s lovely to get a sense of different scenery (and food!).
For me, this is a five star book. I’d recommend this to dog people who enjoy fast-paced action! If you’re particularly after a virus-themed story this works fine as a standalone, but it’s an enjoyable series so why not check out the other books as well!

Remember My NameRemember My Name by Laurencia Hoffman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow this was a story I wasn’t expecting but I really enjoyed. It was an emotional roller coaster.

Shane has suffered in his life, from abuse at the hands of his father to the heartbreak of his first love and other losses and heartbreak in between. All this has turned Shane into a cold, hard person who is happier pushing people away than confiding in them.

When he bumps into his first love Callen again they want to rekindle their failed relationship but with Shane holding so many secrets and being so hard to get close to will Callen be able to break down his walls and boundaries or will the constant coldness end up pushing Callen away for good.

Its a strong emotional story and shows that secrets and heartbreak can cause a person to change. It also shows that sometimes keeping secrets isn’t the right way to deal with things.

Once again this book shows that this other does a considerable amount of research for her books. In this book we learn about sea otters, a very interesting topic, however at the same time we are immersed in a mystery. Love her writing style. I love these kinds of books, learning something along with a good mystery goes together excitingly well. Good job! I highly recommend this book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Deadly Weapon by Mark Nolan is book five of the Jake Wolfe series. Though it’s part of the series, this book can also be read as a standalone. This book is non stop action and does well at holding your attention! This book all too well can be related to real life which pulls you in even further because you think ‘what if’.

Jake and his ever faithful war dog Cody are at it again. So much happens in this book I couldn’t possibly do it justice but I’ll say, it all starts with a trip to Alaska. I’m sure when Jake planned to go fishing he had no idea what would happen next.

This book is so timely with everything happening in the world right now related to COVID. Totally relatable and definitely pulls you in!

Deadly Weapon (Jake Wolfe #5) by Mark Nolan was a great 5 star read.
Once I started I couldn’t put it down, we get another great story from Jake and Cody.

Jake and Cody are working on stopping a deadly weapon from killing lots of innocent people. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was coming next.

Will they be able to stop the weapon in time?

We get multiple POV’s which I really enjoy. We get action, mystery, adventure and so much more. There are several twists and turns that added a great element to the story. This book can be read as a standalone. The author does a great job with his writing and pulls you right in. If you’re looking for a great series to read this is the one for you. 1-click and get started today.

Four Stars

Devil’s Claw is the third book in the Logan McKenna series by Valerie Davisson. This series keeps getting better and better. This book found Logan in the middle of a mystery. Logan and her daughter, Amy, found a baby otter pup and take it to the Sea Otter Center, and that is where all of the mayhem begins. This story had me up all night because I had to find out how this book ended. If you like book with action, adventure, mystery and did I mention, baby otters, this is the book for you. This book can be read as a standalone , but I highly recommend you read this series in order. I can’t wait to see what Ms. Davisson has in. Store for us next.

So far this is my favorite of the series. It is interesting and kept me turning pages. I loved the whole storyline. Her daughter coming back, the otter sanctuary and the land grabbers. There is also murder, back stabbing, cute little otters and great beach views. Logan, Ben, Amy and Liam were wonderful.

I did get thrown off when we started getting Gary’s (lawyer) whole story. Not sure why we needed it other than to show desperation.

Overall it’s a solid story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Devil’s Claw is the third book in Valerie Davisson’s Logan McKenna series. You can read it as a standalone as it has its own ‘story’ but like with any other series, I feel that one should start from the beginning as every book builds upon the previous one when it comes to the characters that are there from one book to the other.
I loved the opening to the story – having an old man reflecting on his life and writing a letter that would have an impact 40 years later … powerful. Also, I lover Pacific Northwest so the detailed description of the nature and the maritime life, especially the otters … such a treat! Obviously as it is Logan McKenna story, it means there is a violent death that brings along so many different layers of human nature – we get thrown into greed, personal loss while we also have the hope through the community keeping together and the trust and love we find there …

This series continues to capture my attention and draw me in immediately. To fully appreciate the depth and development of the main character, you should read this in series order. However it is not necessary to follow the story or enjoy it. Logan has found herself in the middle of another thrilling situation and I couldn’t walk away from this book without finding out what the last page held. I’m thoroughly enjoying this series and look forward to seeing how the series will continue. Definitely recommended reading.

Nolan, I believe, has perfected the crime/thriller genre. This latest book is just as fast paced and action packed as previous works. Jake and Cody find themselves almost immediately entangled in another blockbuster adventure. These books are so riveting and vivid they read like a movie. You can see the images as you devour each word. This is a must read for all crime/thriller lovers. You won’t go wrong with any of Nolan’s works!

While this isn’t a genre I normally go for, having read the previous read in this series it has become a genre that I will read if this author is writing them!

This book will have you captivated from the very beginning, it will have you on the edge of your seat with the twists and turns wondering what will happen next. This read is filled with action, adventure & suspense, you will never be bored while reading it. I highly recommend this author and the incredible reads he creates, you will not be disappointed!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

DEADLY WEAPON (Jake Wolfe Book 5) by Mark Nolan, I have really become a fan of this author. I really like action-packed stories and this one gives me all that and more. Almost from the first rattle out of the bag Jake is in deep and from there it’s a roller coaster ride of one situation after another. I love the subtle romance between Jake and his girlfriend she is truly his match and tough-as-nails. As qualified and capable as Jake is he is not a “just follow orders” type of guy, he made the only decision that made sense in the end. This is a timely book, (read coronavirus), even though it was written before the events of this year, so be sure to read the fact sheet at the end about what is real and what is not real, I really enjoyed them. This is a great read and I’d recommend this author to anybody.

I give Rose by Any Other Name (The Sisters, Texas Mystery Series, Book 10) by Becki Willis, 5 stars.

I loved this book!! I had only read the first book in the series before I picked up this one, so I missed what went on in between, but the author did a great job of making me feel like I didn’t miss a thing. The characters are what really make this series so good. All of the ones you love are back, as well as some new ones. This is a cozy mystery book that will keep you guessing until the end. I had an idea, but didn’t know exactly what was going on, and was definitely surprised at the end. I love that in a whodunit!! What makes this exceptional to me was getting the teenagers in on their own mystery. It wasn’t added as an afterthought or just to pull in younger readers. This was blended into the book in such a way that had you guessing which mystery was more important. I absolutely loved this. The teens are smart and hard-working — they don’t expect the adults to do everything, but at the same time they know when to ask for help.

These mysteries together made for an exceptional book that I could not put down. I will definitely be reading more from this series.

Remember My Name (Remember My Name Series Book 1) by Laurencia Hoffman is a story about secrets from the past that affect the here and now and is a little dark and very emotional read. It is a MM romance that is full of angst which makes for a tense and compelling read. The characters are complex and the story flowed nicely. I found myself immersed in this story and taken in with the twists and turns as we search to unravel the secrets from the past. But they may just get more than they bargained for.

I cannot believe I have not read any of the others in this series. Becki Willis is a mastermind. In this book there are technically two mysteries going on at the same time. The stories flowed well together that I never got the two mysteries confused. The characters do make up the stories. They are complex and fully developed. The first mystery is a new woman is moving into the town and all the women are trying to figure her out. They want to know everything about this newcomer.The second story is about Blake and his summer job. He gathers up his sisters and forms a junior detective group. I highly recommend this story to find out if both parties figure out what is happening. I cannot wait to go back and read some other Becki Willis stories.

A Dead Man Speaks by Lisa Jones Gentry is the first book in the Clive January Mystery series. This is a fantastic combination of paranormal and mystery that really will keep you on the edge of your seat. I really wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked this book up but I really did enjoy how the story unfolded. I thought the author added such a unique twist on the whole by having the victim play a part in catching his killer.
Given how much we got to know about Clive it really felt like we went through the journey with him. The book felt full of twists and turns that made it exciting to read – it added a level of suspense to it that grabs your attention. As the opening to a new series the author has definitely kicked it off with a bang and having read this book I am looking forward to seeing what else is in store.

I loved reading the book The Patience of Karma (The Madeline Dawkins Series # 5) by Cynthia Hamilton. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and I was hooked. I love the characters of Madeline Dawkins and Mike Delaney. When these two are on the case you can be sure of their determination to solve it. This book has them taking on three different cases. One is a missing person, the other a husband wondering about what his wife is up to, and the last one involves Mike and his past. The story is written in such a way that I felt like I was right there with Mike and Madeline. The author has a wonderful way of making both the storyline and the characters come alive. This book has emotional moments and also suspenseful ones. Will the cases be solved? Read this book to find out. I have loved this series since I read the first book. Reading about Madeline and Mike’s cases and how they work so well together I can’t help but root for them to succeed. Don’t miss out on a story that will have you turning pages until you have read the final one. I highly recommend both the series and this book.

I’ve been loving Ellen Butler’s Karina Cardinal Mystery series of late and this was no exception. Diamonds & Deception can be read as a standalone, although of course there are certain details that benefit from the context of the previous books. I love this series for its detailed intrigue and fast-paced action. The plotlines and antagonists are well-researched, even if this book has slightly darker themes compared to the previous ones. I really loved how this one focused on Karina as a lawyer, but also how her romance with Mike keeps growing and Karina’s sense of humour made me laugh aloud many times. A suspenseful read.

5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Pharaoh’s Forgery (Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 4) by Ellen Butler. It is a story that includes mystery, danger, as well as twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. It is a book that had me hooked from the very beginning. I love the character of Karina Cardinal. She is a woman who is strong, intelligent, and independent. Her boyfriend Mike believes that she always gets herself into sticky situations. This story has Karina going to Cancun. She is asked to bring a package along with her. Sounds easy right? What happens when she is in Cancun has her wondering what has happened to her well-deserved vacation. Read this book to find out what happens. This is a story that had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. There is never a dull moment in the situations that Karina finds herself in. I also enjoyed reading about the additional characters that are introduced. Some of them have been brought forward from previous books such as Mike and Rodrigo. Others have a selfish agenda that they will try at all costs to make happen. Don’t miss out on an exciting and entertaining story that you won’t be able to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.
