This book will have you diving into the shark infested waters as well as protecting our environment. Alexis and Seb make a great team. Seb an ex seal and Alexis an oceanographer. Both love water and both enter into a fight for their lives as well as our ocean life. WOW this story is fast paced and loaded with many twists. Which makes for a great suspense thriller. The characters have a strong will, that’s for sure. The author, although new to me, has me wanting to read so much more from her. Her story holds an emotional rollercoaster as well. Great read for those who enjoy diving and underwater activities. I really enjoyed reading this series and can’t wait to read more. Well Done!
Another wonderful story in this series. I honestly could not wait for this one. We saw the two MC in Finlay’s book and I wondered if something would happen between them. Now I know! This one is filled with action, suspense and drama with of course the romance between these two. The thrills really ramped up the last couple chapters and I kept looking at the page number vs how much story was left. I was nervous it would end badly or a cliffy but nope it was done well.
I love Alexis! Her job is intriguing and she seems unstoppable. I was hoping the ending would have her going back to Holt’s daughter since she idolized her so much. I feel this gal can do anything in any situation. Seb is a lucky guy and I see he realizes it as the story moves along. There are numerous other characters that pop in and out that add a lot to the story and help it get moved along. Some I wonder about others are gone as soon as I turn the page.
Hopefully there will be at least one more in this series.

Alexis Hayes stumbles upon trouble when she is diving. Alexis has to work with Seb who is a Navy Seal to try to stop an evil plot from ruining water sources. Alexis is strong headed but so is Seb. I felt the book moved very slowly but did enjoy it in the end.

“She’s determined to unravel their plan to control the world’s water supply. They’re out to silence her—permanently.”
Shadowed Storm is the fourth thrilling instalment in the Shadow Defense Security series by Mavery Ellscott, and my favourite of the series to date. This is a tense romantic suspense with action, adventure, danger, high stakes, chemistry, agendas, a sinister & powerful foe, twists, intrigue, humour, mystery, emotion, interesting characters, a massive global threat, a race against time, challenges, and so much more — which all added up to a very engrossing read. I loved all the exciting elements that were woven into this story, it made for a riveting read. Again, as I have mentioned in previous instalment reviews, this book/series would translate well onto the big screen- and make a great, long-running, television series. I can’t wait for more Shadow Defense! Happy Reading…

Dr. Alexis Hayes is an oceanographer who discovered dangerous algae on a boat during a dive during one of her dives for research. When she tries to figure out who is behind it and why, she finds herself on the run from some dangerous people and literally running for her life, in an attempt to solve the mystery and possibly save the worlds clean water supply. Alexis’s friend, Sebastian Tremblay, who is a former Navy SEAL and part owner of the security firm, Shadow Defense, meets up with Alexis to try and protect her and keep her safe once she reaches the United States, after she arrives from her sailboat trip from Paris. While the pair tries to stay ahead of those who wish them harm and want to keep them quiet, they must also figure out who is responsible for the algae and how to stop them. Neither expects to fall in love along the way. This book is part of the Shadow Defense Security series, and can be read as a stand-alone, but is definitely better when read as part of the series and you will definitely want to read them all. The characters and world feel real and like friends you never want to leave. I can’t wait to see what is next for this series and these characters.

I somehow accidentally missed Shadowed Defense book 3, and while I’m kicking myself (and on my way to find it and read it as soon as I’m done typing), I really really enjoyed this one! I’ve read books 1 and 2 already and they definitely continue to get better and better (not necessarily the writing, the writing is solid, but the storylines are becoming more complex as they go). I found the story engaging from page one and had a really hard time putting it down. I liked not only the Shadowed Defense agency pieces, but also the highly intelligent female lead character- good book, definitely recommend!
This is the fourth book in the Shadow Defense Security Series. While I haven’t read the other books in the series this book stands well on it’s own. The plot of a bio-engineered algae specimen capable of contaminating freshwater sources is unique and intriguing. That’s plenty of twists and turns in this high stakes thriller with romance and humor. You’ll keep reading until the end.
This book was absolutely amazing!! I have loved every book in the Shadow Defense Security series, but this one takes it to another level. Alexis and Seb are magnificently written characters. Alexis is incredibly intelligent with a quite wit while Seb’s mission is to protect. While these books can technically be read as a standalone, I highly recommend picking up the previous books as well. There is a lot of background and overarching themes that are continued through each installment. I definitely lost quite a bit of sleep just so I could stay up and finish reading this. If you are looking for a book that is going to keep you on your toes, make your heart pump with non-stop action, and fulfill your romantic desire, look no further. This should be your next buy! I am on pins and needles waiting to see what this author has in store for us next. Bring it on!
This book will keep you really engaged with all the plot twists in the story. The characters are very well thought out and they all complement each other well. I love how the author keeps the other characters from the previous novels in the picture, without them it would be incomplete.
Shadowed Storm is a gripping tale set in the world of Shadow Defense Security. It’s a high-stakes story where everything is at risk of being destroyed if the characters don’t stop the plot to take out the world’s water supply. Each book in the series is standalone, but they all share an overarching conspiracy plot, and characters make appearances across the books. “Shadowed Storm” is the fourth book in the series, and it’s just as captivating as the previous ones. The author, Mavery, has created a world filled with dark and gritty plotlines, suspense, thrills, high-end danger, and strong, sexy ex-SEALs in protective mode, alongside equally strong female characters. This romantic suspense thriller is both interesting and highly entertaining, with a touch of humour woven throughout. It’s a must-read that won’t disappoint.
Oh man, this is the one series where they are all my favorites. Alexis is awesome. I loved this one. The drama, action, the romance and everything else is outstanding. The writing is phenomenal. This author has again written a story that had me holding my breath and gasping, and other action items as I read along or yelling at my Kindle as I read like I was talking to friends. The research is good. The characters are very relatable with an engaging story. This whole series is full of 5 stars. A must read.
She’s determined to unravel their plan to control the world’s water supply.
They’re out to silence her—permanently.
Oceanographer Alexis Hayes can’t resist an impromptu dive when she spots a school of basking sharks. But the moment of pleasure takes a dangerous turn. Alexis discovers a sunken motorboat’s lethal treasure—a bio-engineered algae specimen capable of contaminating freshwater sources. Now, she’s the target of a ruthless enemy who will stop at nothing to recover the specimen.
But Alexis has a secret weapon, friend and former Navy SEAL Seb Tremblay. Together, they set out to find a way to neutralize the algae. Pitted against a powerful adversary with vast resources, the serene waters of the Florida Keys become a deadly hunting ground with Alexis and Seb, the prey.
In a high-stakes game where every move could be their last, what sacrifices are Alexis and Seb prepared to make to protect the planet’s most vital resource and prevent global chaos?
If you like adrenaline-pumping thrill rides blending action, suspense, and romance with a splash of humor, you won’t be able to put down Shadowed Storm, the fourth installment in Mavery Ellscott’s Shadow Defense Security series.
Each novel in the Shadow Defense Security series is a stand-alone; however, the overarching conspiracy plot is present in each book and characters cross over.
Mavery Ellscott’s first foray into writing was not romantic suspense. She wrote and published a neighborhood newspaper. A pretty big endeavor for an eight-year-old armed with scrap paper and her dad’s old typewriter. Total circulation—two. Fortunately, her later publications fared better. She’s even made it beyond the first round in a contest or two.
A conservationist, Mavery has won a few environmental awards. So, it’s no surprise she yearns to write a high-speed chase with eco-friendly cars.
Really makes you think. Has you thinking nothing is related and then bam it all connects. Exactly like a puzzle you have to find the right piece to make it fit. I highly recommend reading this book. I can’t wait to read more from this author

This was way different than anything I have read before and I enjoyed it. The complex web of how everyone is connected will keep you turning the pages to see what happens next. I am not usually one to pick up a book like this as it is way outside of my comfort zone, but the cover drew me in and I figured I would give it a chance. Details for any kind of book are important and the author did a great job in that department. Overall I enjoyed this original story and wouldn’t mind finding what else this author has to offer. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>

This was the first book I had picked up by this author and far from the last! I am such a huge fan of the horror and thriller genres, so as soon as caught a glimpse of this cover, I knew I had to pick it up. After reading the synopsis, I immediately dove in and didn’t come up for air until the end! This book grips you immediately in the first few pages and never lets go. I cannot stress enough how genius this writing style is. I am blown away that I have never heard of this author before, but I am recommending them to everyone now. This is a gripping, original read with absolutely incredibly horrifying imagery description of the Grumemonsters. I’m so excited to have found this author even if this does give me nightmares. If you are looking for a phenomenal horror book with intense twists and turns throughout, please do yourself a favor and pick this book up right now!

Intrigue and complexity draw you near and hold you victim. Honestly, I love a good thriller/ horror movie, but I don’t necessarily read many this one was a must. The cover, the title, everything about Christopher Alan Broadstone’s first novel Puzzleman draws you in. At least for us thriller/horror fans. It all begins with an earring. The web of complexity that leads to each of the characters or better, yet victims make you hold your breath. I will admit I was up waaaay past my bedtime with this one. Once I started, I couldn’t find a place where I was willing to stop, I had to know what happened next. While the complexity and twists of how everyone and everything tied into each other made me think of famous franchises, this book took it to an entirely different level or mind blowing. Forever in my mind after this read “no one is sane down a drain, and down a drain no one is sane”. Everything about this world tells you to run. The mystery, the puzzles, the characters, the intrigue, they all tell you to stay, to go down the drain and discover the truth. I truly cannot wait to see what this otherworldly author comes up with next.

I’ve been slowly trying to get out of my comfort zone as far as reading genres and decided to give this horror selection a try. For those who enjoy horror, it is definitely a good pick. As for me, I’m not sure if I’ll be reading the next one. It was a bit too intense but some of the storyline was quite interesting. It can be quite challenging in keeping up with the storyline at times but does have some thrills here and there. This story focuses on how tragedy deeply affects a group of people in different ways and as they come together.Each of the characters bring to the story aspects of mythology, history as well as the horror and gore to light. When the Puzzleman emerges from the creation of the Grumemonsters, the author captures every detail of its grotesque and appalling form. Definitely brings in creativity in a gruesome manner.

I was intrigued by the title and cover. I wasn’t exactly sure what I was getting into but I do like horror so I figured I’d give it a try. I wouldn’t necessarily classify this as horror but definitely a thriller. I haven’t read a book in a long time that has made me think wtf as much as I did reading this one! It was very interesting how each of the characters were connected in one way or another and the nightmare they were living through. This book is not for the faint of heart, but if you love books that make you question your sanity, give this one a chance. It will be awhile before I get some images out of my head.

Puzzleman: A Macabre Thriller throws you into a dark world of twists and turns, intricate details, and realistically written characters. I thoroughly enjoyed the amount of time and research that went into the writing, with nods at Greek Mythology and WWII that I noticed. this is definitely one of the most creative and intricately original books I have read in quite awhile, and I loved the strangeness of it all. This is one that will keep you guessing, and the fact that the characters are imperfect makes it much more believable and emerges you even deeper into the experience. Upon checking into this author, I have found he also has a some horror shorts that are also very well written and quite good stories. I will surely be reading more from this author.

Puzzleman by Christopher Alan Broadstone – Review by Amanda Gray
This book could use a trigger warning. It is quite disturbing and graphic, which some horror fans love. It’s well written, twisting mystery that is very detailed. The author creates an intricate macabre world full of twists and turns. The story is very scary, it’s the thing that nightmares are made of, especially as it deals with dreamworlds. You will keep turning the pages to see what happens next.

Puzzleman by Christopher Alan Broadstone is an absolutely exceptional horror/thriller read. This book is dark, twisted, and at times uncomfortable, in the best was possible. This book is vivid and unique, and impossible to put down. The cover is creepy, and really sets the tone for the book. This is the first book I’ve read from this author, and I absolutely loved it, definitely recommend it!

This was a really unique read. I don’t normally like horrors/thrillers but there was something about this book that made me want to read it and boy was I glad I did. This story is very intense. The author does an incredible job at describing characters and scenes so that you can actually see them happening as if it were a movie. There were parts of this story that literally made me jump and the images the author places in your mind is definately the stuff of nightmares. This story is so intricate that I had to re read some parts to fully understand what I was reading but it was so worth the extra time doing that. The characters and their lives are so well woven together even when at first they seem to have no connection at all. One thing that did come across for me is that every one of them were fighting demons of some sort or another and this is what draws the puzzleman to them. This is a very chilling read that I definately got lost in. It is quite a big book however it flows so well that I read it in no time at all. This was definitely one book I didn’t read in the dark which to me is a sign of a good horror story.

What can I say abut this book, well this book really had me reading it till the end that’s for sure. It was filled with so many twists and turns, that really made me wonder what was going on next that I just couldn’t put it down. Like how can a couple, a detective and one legged man all have in common? Will this book do just that, with its story telling. I really felt like I was right along with the ride of this horror, gore, history and folklore ride of a story. it was such a well detailed and world that I really felt like maybe just maybe these people were actually real and maybe living down the street. This book really was amazing I love reading horror and gore and this book really made it worth the read. highly suggest maybe not reading this thou before bed!

In a world of Grumemonsters – or basically zombies – there is a lot of twisted horrors. There are times it felt like I was forcing myself through it, but only because the descriptions were so well done and the story drew me in so much. The world building is phenomenal, the thrills are consistent, the tension runs high.
I had no problem imagining the horrors of pipeland or the Grumemonsters, or Puzzleman himself. If you are fond of intense reads with plenty of scares, definitely read this book.

This book was different. It is a type of horror story. It was definitely a unique writing style. I did enjoy certain parts of the story. Its not the type of horror book I usually read but I enjoyed the characters, especially puzzleman and finding out what the deal was with him and the did to control the fear of his victims.

This cover just sends chill down your spine ! It’s a little taste of what’s to come 😉
My heart just aches for Amanda and the loss of her son and grief does strange things to people , we all cope and deal differently….
We have Jeanette and John and their lost love , then there’s Ben our retired detective and I think they’re much like farmers , they never can retire or sit still,let’s not forget the one legged man
Each of these people’s lives are somehow woven together in a frightful tale that has hints of mythology , horror , gore , history and folklore
The Grumemonsters are frightful and a living nightmare and I’d like to avoid crossing their path and I’d like to forget that the puzzle man exists 🙈😵💫
Was I on edge ? Yes ! Was I scared ? Yes! Did I have the passage light on ? Yes !

As a personal fan of all things suspense, thriller, and puzzle related, this book hit the nails on the head! As the title suggests, this book has the mind of a maniac with the logic of a genius.

Broadstone is a first time author for me and I am hooked! Puzzleman is horrifically original, macabre, and full of so many twists, turns, and a crazy interconnectedness. Broadstone weaves such an intricately detailed story and delivers it in such a way that the reader can smell the pipe world, feel the heat of the puzzleman’s breath, and see the nauseating, deformed “bodies” of the grumemonsters. The characters are realistically flawed and believable. This book combines history, mythology, horror, mystery, and gore. There were a few places where the writing seemed a bit disjointed, but it did not detract from the story one bit. Overall, an amazing horror read by a great author. I can’t wait to read more from Mr. Broadstone.
