This is a set of captivating sci-fi thriller novels. Why would someone agree to be implanted with a mind-controlling chip? The concept of the plot is intriguing and suspenseful. I feel like the books can be read as stand-alones but would recommend reading them in order. There is definitely plenty of twists and turns in the Alterations trilogy! Lilly, Gigi, and Ellen POV’s add to the plot as we experience how the chip effects each one of them. Still not sure if I like or hate the brilliant doctor…

There’s a microchip for that? This is the first work by the creative Jane Suen that I have read, and wow was it a rollercoaster of a place to start. Honestly this book from chapter one had me pondering and completely intrigued. Told from multiple perspectives from start to finish we see the story unravel and the characters evolve. Gigi, Ellen, and Lilly are all everyday women that have one great desire, be it to stay young, lose weight, find love, or forget the pain of lost love this technothriller takes you on journeys you never knew you needed a peek at. While originally, I was put off by Dr Kite’s introduction, his multi-level price points to make his invention accessible for as many people as possible was a high point. Fake taxicab trolling the city looking for “low risk” people that won’t be missed if gone for a few hours, microchips implanted without their knowledge, and covering up when he finds a defect. Dr Kite is not really a doctor but is a doctor I never knew I needed a look inside his mind. Book one Alterations begins with Gigi on the edge, after her recent upgrade to her chip something is wrong, but what? Book two Game Changer picks up a little over a year after the events of book one, Dr Kite has lost his warehouse, and Ellen soon discovers an alteration to her body, how is it possible? Book three Primal Will picks up in the same moment that book two ends with Tiffany having to make an impossible choice or risk refusing and seeing what happens. From start to finish the author keeps you engaged, guessing, and intrigued by the plot and how it could possibly come to an end. Is there a happy ending for any of them? Does Dr Kite succeed? How does it all end? While originally confused but intrigued each new chapter, each insight and ultimately each book answered more questions while also adding a few new ones. Seeing how Gigi, Ellen, and Lilly make it to the other side made this a very satisfying Saturday read. I look forward to looking into some of the author’s other works and seeing what mysteries and suspense await me.

I definitely had a lot of questions and silly comments throughout the series. I found myself talking to the characters and shaking my head and laughing a few times too. I loved getting to see how things progressed for each character and how good reigned in the end. I’m glad I got to read this series.

This trilogy is made even scarier by how realistic it could be! I could definitely see this being a reality in the very near future. I read another book recently by this same author and find their writing style easy to read. I like the way the story moved along so that it was not hard to follow and jumped right in. I definitely recommend having all three books ready because it leaves you on a cliffhanger for each book. I really love all three main characters in the books but especially Gigi’s character. I finished this series in two days because it was so intriguing. I will definitely be reading more from this author very soon!

When Peter discovers a genuine masterpiece from Picasso in a junk shop, he gets his big lucky break he has been waiting his whole life for. As he finds more and more art pieces he becomes more profitable and his competitors are up on the race to question how he is doing it. Then there is murder, and the detective James Sheldon gets involved. He has to fix all the pieces of the puzzle together to find out the murderer. But as the suspect list gets bigger, more secrets and dark pasts are revealed. This book is an out and out thriller. I read it in one go. Looking forward to read more from this author.

VANISHING DAY (A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 4) by Valerie Davisson . I have absolutely loved this series and this book was no different. Its the continuing saga of Logan McKenna whose new young neighbor is brutally attacked and left for dead. The only witness to the attack is the victim’s 3 year old daughter. When the police hit a dead end in the case Logan decides she has to find out what happened and why. As Logan starts digging she realizes her neighbor isn’t who she says she is and the danger is getting really deep. Finding out Lori, the victim, is in an abusive relationship or trying to flee from the relationship makes the case even more dangerous but that has never stopped Logan before. Will Logan and Brian find out who is trying to kill Lori and why before its too late for Lori and Logan? Each of these books can be read as standalone but they are all so good I highly recommend reading them all. The relationships and messes Logan gets herself into are so good. Just be prepared that once you start this book you won’t want to put it down!

Killer Smile by Allan Evans. I am loving these books and I can’t wait for another one! This is the story of Detective Cade Dawkins and a serial killer who is trying to outsmart the Detective. When he is given the job of forming a task force to catch this serial killer after a viable threat is found on the darkweb. Cade has taken down the serial killer called “Killer Blonde” and now this serial killer has taken this as a challenge. Cade is very good at his job and when he gets a pretty good group together they get deeply involved in the serial killer’s world. With the help of a good friend and some new graduates can Cade find this killer before he becomes the next victim? I really enjoyed this book and couldn’t put it down. I read it in one night! I might have had a book hangover but it was worth it! If you love thrilling crime reads do yourself a favor and read this book!

This really was a trilogy of thought provoking sci-fi thrillers, which kept me gripped throughout. I loved having all three books in one collection as I could then ‘binge read’ the series! The intriguing storyline follows Gigi, Ellen and Lilly who all want to change their lives in some way and so take the drastic decision to go to Dr Kite. He has developed a mind controlling chip which the three women agree to have implanted, however although this gives them an easy and quick fix it comes with consequences. Gigi, Ellen, and Lilly were prepared to risk everything for love, health, and happiness, and Dr Kite’s novel chip implant offers them a mind controlling solution. However, Dr Kite is a secretive figure and when the city is plunged into chaos by unforeseen issues his warehouse is destroyed. It is then discovered that two of the implanted chips are defective and suddenly his plans go horribly wrong. In the aftermath of the disaster one of the woman seeks revenge for Dr Kite’s failings, but she may also have found an opportunity to save herself. I was hooked from start to finish by this original story, and was kept happily turning the pages to find out if Gigi, Ellen, and Lilly get their happily ever after. The characters and the setting were brought vividly to life by the descriptive narrative and I was fully immersed in the story.

Yet again, his loved ones are targeted as well as himself. This time, it is by a page exclusively for serial killers to make contact and issue challenges to one another. After being splashed across the news for catching the madman killing blondes in his city, this website of predators sent out a call. Get to the Twin Cities and see if you can best the one who caught the last serial killer in his area!
His paranoia is growing, the danger is growing, the number of serial killers terrorizing his area is growing, and so are the dark choices he will be faced with. Will Cade be able to keep everyone safe while keeping the media off his back and keeping his job?

Dawkins is a cop who toes the line and does things his own way. When he is called in on a case that shows a predator going after stunning blondes, he has some choices to make. Will he be able to catch the killer before it puts those he loves at risk? The fear leads him down a path that has some dark opportunities. Cade isn’t considered lucky for having this case tossed in his lap, but his boss needs a win at best, and a scapegoat at worst.
Gritty, suspenseful, intriguing. A quick read that kept me interested until the end. I enjoyed reading the frame of mind behind the killer.

Vanishing Day: A Logan McKenna Mystery/Thriller by Valerie Davisson is the fourth book in the Logan McKenna series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although for me personally I would recommend reading them all so you get the full character development. I thought this book was a fantastic addition to this series. It was well writing and full of intrigue. The story was done really well and covered a sensitive topic with ease. It didn’t take long before I was hooked and this book and wanting to find out how it was going to end. This whole series has been a strong series and this book is probably the best yet. An amazing story and one up would certainly recommend.

Logan soon discovers her new friend isn’t who she said she was. Without any ID, the police investigation stalls. Logan holds the only clue, but has no idea what it means or how dangerous it is.
That’s never stopped her before, but this time her drive to uncover the truth draws the killer ever closer. Before she realizes the danger, Logan is in so deep she may never be able to claw her way out.
Fans of J.A. Jance, Elly Griffiths, Louise Penny, C.J. Box, James Patterson, Nevada Barr, Sue Grafton, and Alexander McCall Smith will love Davisson’s fiercely independent and loyal Logan McKenna.
A self-admitted book addict, Valerie was the kid with the flashlight under her pillow, reading long after lights out. A life of travel led to degrees in Anthropology and a pervasive interest in people. She lives on the Oregon coast with her husband, John, and their new puppy, Finn. When not working on her latest book she is probably in the kitchen, cooking up a storm for family and friends.

Lucky Break: Gripping British crime thriller (Trentbridge Tales Book) by Lee Wood – 4 out of 5 stars
Lucky Break is the second book in this thrilling series. Although it can be read as a stand-alone I suggest that you read the books in order. The characters develop so much with each book, that you will not want to miss one bit. With twists and turns coming at you from all angles, it will be hard for you to put this book down. All they need is one lucky break… Will they get one?

An amazing set of dystopian type books about fixing what we view as our body issues. A totally creepy Dr. Kite wants to help women fix their issues. The books build on the previous stories and it’s great that they now come together. I found them exciting and thrilling just because of the creepy factor. The characters are easy to relate to. We all have these issues being dealt with and look for easy fixes. This author did a fantastic job with this story. I couldn’t put it down.

Flanks the line between fantasy and reality This trilogy was fascinating. As always this author delivers a brilliant suspense thriller mystery. Gigi, Ellen and Lilly along with Dr. Kite bring their POV to the story. Micro chips delivering dreams or false hopes. It took a little while for the story to take off and once it did I was hooked until the end. The character’s stories are interwoven well and the suspense built across the books, so it is worth reading them in order. Recommend.

Intriguing, suspenseful and interesting sci fi trilogy that was quite enjoyable. This is a perfect box set and the books are meant to be read as a series and definitely not a stand alone.
This series of events from the books has Dr. Kite offering an implant to help and where we meet Gigi, Lilly and Ellen. This implants alters/changes they way they see them-self. Ellen is trying desperately to lose weight and feel good about herself, Gigi is looking for love and Lilly trying to get through her feelings from a divorce. With Dr. Kite’s game changing offer….will this help Ellen, Lilly and Gigi….until he finds out there is some defects in the microchips…
As the story continues in book 2, the ladies try and move on with their life, making sense of it all. You get more from Lilly, Gigi and Ellen as they navigate their next steps…..what is Dr. Kite up to next…..and the epic conclusion in book 3 find out what happens to the end……definitely a roller coaster ride of twists and turns ………

This was an amazing addition to the series! I am a big fan of the crime and thriller genre, so this was right up my alley. The author has such a way of transitioning through the book that you don’t notice a shift which is incredible. I thought the flow was marvelous! This book will have you on a rollercoaster of guessing what will happen, taking you through twists and turns until you realize you’ll just never be able to guess so you enjoy the ride! I highly recommend picking up the first in the series to get the background, and then continue the thrilling story with this installment. I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next!

Another gripping crime thriller in the ‘Trentbridge Tales’ series which kept me hooked throughout. This standalone story follows Peter Winston-Moore who told rival dealers that he had discovered the genuine Picasso in a junk shop which then sold at Sotheby’s for $5.4 million. Peter then goes from being a bit of a wheeler dealer to running an exclusive art and antiquates gallery. Peter’s luck does not seem to end there though, as he keeps finding valuable items which other dealers have overlooked. Three of these dealers then become so curious about him that they follow him with disastrous consequences. Ex police detective James Sheldon is now a private investigator who’s been asked to prove the innocence of the main suspect in a murder which took place at the Albion Hotel. As James digs deeper he discovers that everyone involved has dark secrets that they want to keep. The blurb says that “The Trentbridge Crime series is as much about the location as the characters”, and the settings are definitely brought vividly to life by the descriptive narrative and added details, which add to the overall story. The characters are well developed and I felt engaged with them, as well as being fully immersed in the narrative. The storyline and plot twists kept me guessing as to the outcome of the story, making this a real page turner of a novel.

Lucky Break is the second book in the Trentbridge Tales series. It is a British crime thriller full of action, suspense, mystery, murder, intrigue, deception, art, danger, secrets, and lies. Although it can easily be read as a standalone, I do recommend reading the first book because some of the characters overlap. The book brings back Detective Sheldon whom we met in the first book. James Sheldon is now working as a Private Investigator who has been asked to prove the innocence of the main suspect in a murder at the Albion Hotel. The murder involves a man who seems to have had several lucky breaks in the art world that have amassed him millions of dollars. Unfortunately, his luck ran out and he ended up dead. Now it is up to PI Sheldon to solve his murder. He is smart, feisty, and determined to solve the case. As PI Sheldon digs into the case and unravels the clues, he discovers an unlikely murder suspect who has been hiding right under his nose the whole time. The case takes some unexpected twists and turns that makes the book impossible to put down. Anxiously awaiting the next book in this amazing series!

This set includes all three books in the trilogy: Alteration, Game Changer, and Primal Will. I liked the concept of this dystopian, sci-fi series; however, there were times where I found myself lost and having to go back and re-read. I also felt like Suen jumped around sometimes causing the reader to question themselves. But overall I enjoyed the suspense and mystery of the books and I would recommend them. I would suggest reading them in order and going ahead and getting the set because you are going to want to start the next book as soon as you finish. Reviewed by @meggs1717

I literally yelled “What?!?!?” Out loud at 1130 at night in the final section of this trilogy. This is a very fast paced book, you have to enjoy quick plot development and many POV changes to truly enjoy this series as otherwise it may be too abrupt for some. I felt it was Brilliant!

The Trentbridge Crime series is as much about the location as the characters. Characters come and go during this series, but we see more of the town of Trentbridge with each book. We start in London in this story, but then plot slowly turns to Trentbridge and the Albion Hotel. It’s really easy to get caught up in this story and wonder if the main character will ever get his lucky break. Does getting that lucky break last? Read to find out!

Art, deception, murder, intrigue, suspense, mystery…..this is book 2 in the Trentbridge Tales and another enjoyable book by Lee Wood. I knew after reading the first book, I needed to read the 2nd installment of this series. This may be read as a stand alone, but I do recommend reading the first book as James Sheldon is now our investigator….
Peter Winston-Moore is just looking for a break in life….trying to make money….when he discovers an art piece in a store that you would never find a masterpiece in…his luck is changing….or is it? Once he has this and word gets out….then hunt is on..how did Peter get his hands on this masterpiece from Picasso? When murder is involved, James Sheldon is the investigator to figure out the pieces to this mystery….but we all know everyone has their secrets…
Will James Sheldon figure out whom is responsible for murder before it is to late??
Definitely read and find out! Very intriguing and looking forward the next book in the series.

This is the second book in the Trentbridge Tales series. Even though each book is a standalone once you read one you will definately want to read more. I love this author’s work, the writing and character building is great but what I really love is the fact it is set in areas I recognised and grew up in. There isn’t many references to the town of Market Drayton which is where I grew up, so when I read this in the story I was more in love than before. This story is a dark gritty read which is full of secrets, lies and danger. The twists and turns kept me guessing all the way through and I couldn’t put it down. When Peter discovers a genuine masterpiece in a junk shop he finally gets his big break, the big break he has been waiting his whole life for. Life should be good now right? As he continues he finds more and more profitable finds which has his competitors questioning how he is doing it. When a murder occurs it falls to Detective James Sheldon to sort all the pieces of the puzzle and work out just what went wrong and who the murderer actually is. But with a suspect list growing bigger and bigger and the secrets and dark pasts being revealed by everyone he questions James will need more than Luck to solve this case. This is an edge of your seat read that I loved and couldn’t put down. I was completely captivated by this story and the author writes in a way that flows well so it feel like a fast paced read.

Shadow is the Enforcer for the Devil’s Handmaidens MC and she is as badass as they come, but as a child, Zoey went through more suffering, abuse and pain than any child should and that is what brought her to where she is now, thanks to Maggie and her family taking her in and showing her what safety and family should look like, but all those experiences also made her into the icy hearted woman she is today. Panther is a Navajo Indian with look as dark as sin and muscles to boot, he is also a horse rancher and from the minute he saw Shadow, he knew he needed to know more about her, including why she was getting a full skull tattooed onto her face and looking like it was nothing, but fate would lead them apart for a while, but when they reconnect it is more business than pleasure.
To the outside, she has no fear and instead puts the fear of God into anyone who gets on her bad side, including the members of the MC which she founded with the Prez, the sisters who she now protects and their families with fierce passion, but when she sees Panther again, she is not ready for the emotions which would come along with it. It turns out that he has a similar mission to them and when the opportunity arises for her to help save some innocents from experiencing what she did, she is all in, however, what she doesn’t expects is how close to her past the mission really is, that is until it comes back around and the danger lurks around every corner.
As they work more closely together, Shadow cannot help but be drawn to Panther and his mysterious past which has created his present, it both calms, enrages, frustrates and illicit emotions she tried to bury to keep herself safe, but he is persistent and passionate, but more understanding that she believes she deserves and when things go south trying to help these innocent youths, she knows that she cannot hide any longer, but will she be able to take that leap of faith and find something good in the evil surrounding them, or will she be drawn into a darkness which she won’t be able to escape from? This is another great MC romance with one hell of a bite where lines blur and past, present and future collide to bring a journey which will leave your heart racing and stopping all at once as this actin packed, emotional rollercoaster plays out in front of you.

M. Earl- Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.
It’s summer, and with a new job, a new life, and plenty of time for her music, life couldn’t be better for Logan. She and her daughter, Amy, home from Africa, even rescue an orphaned sea otter pup. They help nurse it back to health at Jasper’s fledgling Sea Otter Center. But more than one person lays claim to the gorgeous stretch of coastal property upon which the center is built. All want it badly—but for very different reasons. Soon, storm clouds begin to swirl around the center, threatening the lives of all who enter. When Logan arrives to start her shift, she makes a tragic discovery. One of her talented young students, also a volunteer, has been coldly murdered. Just steps away, Logan finds another victim, the owner of the center, barely alive. As the most powerful coastal storm in decades grows ever more violent, Logan’s worst fears are confirmed. The center’s Zodiac raft is missing. So are Amy and the baby sea otter. Neither are equipped to survive the storm. Pulling out all the stops, Logan enlists the help of friends in the small town of Jasper she calls home, racing to rescue Amy before the killer or the storm take her daughter from her forever. Only love, trust, and community have any chance of stopping the killer, before more lives, including Logan’s own, are lost.
