My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thought the book was well written. I didn’t realize how many books would be in this series. It was a quick read and I thought it was pretty good
But not sure I’d be able to read 5 more installments of this. It was very fast paced. The main character is one tough cookie and is not to be messed with. The book confused me a bit and I just really wasn’t into it but that’s my fault. The author did a great job.

Fatal Memory
By: Ava S. King
5*

This is the first book in the Agent Red: Teegan Stone Series. This book is incredibly fast paced and easy to read. It was also filled with many twists and turns that kept me guessing iwth each page I turned. It ended too quickly for me, I found myself wanting more. I’m glad that this is in a series because I want to continue to learn about Teegan and her teammates.
Teegan wakes up chained to a bed with no recollection of how she got there. She is concerned about her family and very confused. However, as those who abducted her soon reveal, her family is very safe. Rather, it is her they are after. Not in the typical way that a person who is generally abducted is after some one. Rather, they want to show her who she used to be. She used to be a member of an elite organization in the Navy who was in charge of protecting America. Teegan walked away from this life to devote herself to her family. She was tired of the danger, the death, the killing, the espionage. She is being asked to continue a mission that she has botched and this means awakening a piece of her that has been dormant for a long time. Throughout this book, we watch Teegan struggle with her desire to be a family mom, to reclaim her old life, and who to trust. I definitely recommend it!

Agent Red is one of the most powerful suspense books I’ve read this year. Teagan is just trying to live her life and all of a sudden she is sucked back into her prior life as a spy. I found the story to contain lots of drama, adventure, suspense and mystery. It had everything I like to find in a book to keep me intrigued, and I was from the beginning. I found the characters well-written. I felt like I was reading about real people. They were very relatable. This was a fantastic book that I believe will enjoyed by others. I highly recommend it.

I’ve never read anything by this author, but I’m really impressed with this book. The beginning is a little slow, and feels very cut and dry with his writing style, but it is fan freaking tastic. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’m happy I gave it a chance. It is a longer book, and took me a while to finish it. If you’re a crime person, then this is a book you’ll enjoy. I’m on a bit of a book hangover from a series I recently finished, and this is the aspirin that helped take the edge off. Definitely give it a try!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This thrill-a-minute story kept me entranced and reading. The plot is excellent. The characters are real and flawed and fun. The super intelligent dog is amazing. The fast-moving pace is driven by the action and is fantastic. The multiple point of view story telling gives you such a 360 view of the story.

Brenda is an FBI agent with an elite division. This elite division works as a team to serve as victim advocates for survivors of mass killing events. Brenda is doing it alone. She is working with single survivors such as Angie, who is the only survivor of the event that left her three friends dead and Angie mute. Brenda tends to follow the rules which left her on the wrong side of the person that could help her the most with Angie, Jake. Jake is a former Marine that works with an elite K9, Cody, that serves as a therapy dog and search dog and much, much more.

Brenda, Jake and Cody must work through their past issues to help Angie regain her voice and solve the mystery surrounding her friend’s murder. Or determine that Angie is making it all up and actually is murderer.

The banter is delightful and makes you laugh out loud. This was my first book in the series but I think I might go back and catch up. The sizzling chemistry between Brenda and Jake makes me hope that in one of the future books that they might actually get together. But would that ruin the blossoming friendship?? Oh dilemma!! Thank goodness I am just the reader. Loved this book.

This book started out with a bang! Several girlfriends are on a mini vacation in Florida when one of them gets a feeling they’re being watched. They’re offered a round of drinks in a bar but Angie didn’t want to chance anything since she was the designated driver. From there things happen rather quickly from them being taken hostage to her being accused of murdering her friends. Where is the culprit? He has disappeared into the darkness and left Angie to take the blame. Being the top guy in the line of work he does he can’t risk being caught. He vows to find her and either turn her over to the man he works for or kill her. Will she be able to prove she is innocent and get justice or will she be stuck behind bars for many years to come?

Agent Red: Fatal Memory (Teagan Stone, #1)Agent Red: Fatal Memory by Ava S. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you are looking for a quick read that is fast paced and filled to the brim with action, look no further!

Teagan Stone is a mother of 3 and a doting wife to her husband. One day she is kidnapped by her old team from an elite force of spies. With her memory gone, she has no idea who these people are and why they would want anything to do with her. Turns out she was a badass agent who decided to give up the spy life to raise her children. Unfortunately a former team member has gone missing and the clues lead to the last case Teagan and her team last worked together.

They tell her one more case and she can go back to her family. She never wanted to be dragged back into the life but has no choice.

The author did a really good job of stuffing the book full of action with a splash of politics. Taking place in the present with flashbacks so you know what the previous case was. I also really enjoyed the way the author wrote Teagan. She’s sassy, strong, smart and stubborn.

Fatal Memory (Agent Red:Teagan Stone Series Book 1) by Ava S. King. I loved this book. Its a fast paced, action thriller. Its about Teagan Stone who is a retired operative on a mission to track down missing agent in Spain. Diablo Garcia is a very bad wanted drug Lord and Teagan doesn’t know how in the world she is going to capture him because she has lost all of her memory. She’s not excited about this mission but she knows she has to do it to save her Country. Being recruited by the Navy is a huge deal when she would really rather be at home with her husband and kids. She is having to rely on anything she can remember to save her self and get thru this mission. Teagan was such a fun, strong willed woman and I loved reading about her. This book will pull you in and you will be flipping pages way into the night. I can’t wait to read the next one!

What a great book In Plain Sight was. I have not read the other books in the Logan McKenna series but now I need to after finding such a strong and fearless female lead character that is very well-written and so easy to relate to. So, Logan finds herself enjoying her new life married to Ben and living on the beautiful Oregon coast. She enjoys her time playing her violin and volunteering at a wildlife rescue, but things are not as smooth as she hoped. Upon arrival one morning at work, she finds a co-worker dead and the raptor she was doctoring dead as well., it becomes a huge mystery as to who the killer is and why. Is it the coworker’s gay lover, ex-husband, or someone not even known to Logan? Logan takes matters into her own hands to find justice for her coworker and friend but puts her life in danger in the process. This was such a great book! A real vision of true friendship, love, and the need for justice. You will not be disappointed in this read! Strong female characters lead the investigation and finally solve the murder. Great character development and edge of your seat thriller, this is a great book to be read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is not in my normal wheel house of genre but was an amazing change of pace. I would consider this book an amazing palette cleanser from what I have been reading. That being said, lets get into the nitty gritty of this book (without spoilers of course). Let’s preface this with I haven’t read any other books in this series, so I can in starting fresh. Most times you will need to read the rest of the series to figure things out but I don’t feel like that is the case in this series. Granted after reading this book, I now want to go back and read the rest because it was just that good. Logan is an amazing character with a lot of depth that I didn’t foresee her having. She has an amazing relationship with her husband Ben. She plays a violin that she named (love that). She starts a new job doing something that she feels gives her purpose and is helpful. Then a murder happens to a co-worker. Well, not everyone thinks it is a murder. So, Logan decides to take matters into her own hands and investigate what happened. This book took so many twists and turns that when I thought I knew who did it or what was happening, I turned the page and found out I was completely wrong. It reminds me of the board game Clue. Everyone is trying to figure it out, you go to prove it but then there is another card that is shown and all your thoughts come crashing down. That is what kept me turning the pages and not being able to put the book down. This book is full of mystery, suspense, drama, danger, edge of seat scenes, and an amazing love story. I highly recommend reading this book and I am going to start at the beginning of the series.

My true crime junkie heart loved this suspense packed story! At first, I was a little distracted since I have a very dear friend named Angie Taylor. I quickly got over it and immediately sucked into her tale of tragedy and terror. The twists and turns throughout the story kept me on my toes, yet the character building kept the characters endearing. Definitely give this book a read and clear your schedule because it’s definitely a page turner!!!

An action packed well written story about a girl who is accused of killing her friends by the police. The plot is amazing and kept my interest throughout the book. The characters are well written and you can feel the care the FBI agent Brenda Reynolds has for Angie. Jake (retired Marine and dog handler) and Cody (the therapy dog) are amazing in helping Angie start to return to life out of her catatonic state. They also helped Angie feel better and stronger to share what happened to her and her friends. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a thriller.

I enjoyed reading this suspenseful thriller. This is a new author for me which I look forward to seeing what is next for this author. This is a well written story about a spirit reaching out through a painting. Is it real or is it a voice from the past? I enjoyed how the author brought the story to life using details to make the story realistic. The characters are creative, unique and relatable. They bring the twists and turns to another level. They are sitting on the edge of your seat suspense. This is a fast paced story that is engaging and just hard to put down. This is a haunting story that you don’t want to miss. This is a great afternoon story that I really enjoyed. I highly recommend this story.

This book truly topped the WOW factor! I love a good action thriller, but this one really blew my expectations really! The book was a quick read, and not a dull moment in my reading! I was highly invested!

Tegan Stone was wonderful female lead characters. I admired her ability to be strong, touch, and intelligent as she was, She had that never give up attitude. I loved how she handled her mission, and what shocked me was leading to the end, where her mission led to questions that made it difficult to complete her mission for what it was. I loved the writing style of the author, how they created a quick fast read that was amazing from start to finish! I could not put this down to the end! The suspense was too much to stop! Loved it!

The book was amazing and pumped full of action and suspense that I did not hesitate to love! I cannot wait to read more by this author and partake in Tegan’s adventures! Highly recommend this must read!!

She’s only one out her for friend who has escaped from the horror as she watched other friends being murdered. Having a cop say they think you murder your mate wow she doesn’t know where she stands. Arrset for a murder she didn’t commit. They alot of emotions and revelation in this book.

4.5 Stars

 

The Prisoner of Paradise is the first book in the Painted Souls series by Rob Samborn. This was such an engrossing read and had me flipping the pages to find out what would happen next. I was so immersed in the story that I ended up staying up well past by bedtime, reading the entire thing in one sitting.
It is such a well-written, gripping and vividly woven story- full of action, adventure, historical details, twists and turns, secrets, lies, danger, suspense, secret sects, intrigue, past lives, tension, soulmates, complexity, interesting characters, dramatic developments, mystery, and a famous painting that that is so much more than it seems.
Nick and Julia O’Connor embark on a trip of a lifetime, to explore the wonders of Venice- but little do they know how this trip would turn their world upside down, and how a famous painting would expose them to a centuries old mystery… leading them to mind-boggling discoveries, and dangers they never could have imagined.
This may be the written word, but it reads in such a way that the words become quite vividly visual- bringing the whole story to life before my eyes. I was there, right alongside the characters, experiencing everything as it unfolded. Mr. Samborn in a masterful storyteller who delivers a really exciting story. I enjoyed this book immensely and can see that it would make a fantastic movie too.
Bring on ‘Painter of the Damned’ (Book #2), can’t wait!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Rob Samborn!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you are looking for a thriller that you can read in one sitting then this is for you.

Mark Nolan packs a quick paced punch in his book The Girl Who Escaped.

A spring break adventure turns deadly for 4 college girls who were just looking to have a fun vacation with no worries. However, the 4 girls were abducted, 3 were murdered and 1 barely escaped. But now, survivor Angie is not being looked at as a victim of a viscous crime, but as a suspect of the horrible murders of her friends.

Its up to FBI agent Brenda Reynolds of the Victim Services Response Team to help clear Angie’s name, help her through her trauma and find the real killer.

This novel takes off right away and doesnt slow down until the end. This was great in some ways because the pace keeps you reading, however it caused it to move a little too quickly without building the storyline and characters in a more well rounded way.

I am interested in picking up some other novels from this author as I can see myself clearing a day, gathering some snacks and finishing one of his novels in one sitting.

Happy Reading!

Stand Your Ground Audiobook by A.J. Ullman – Review by Amanda Glaspie

I was not expecting this book to be as politically charged as it was. It had good character development which led to the reader able to make their own decisions on the guiltiness of our leading character. The story found itself with a lot of subplots in my opinion that led to more questions that I feel were never answered. Overall, interesting listen with a twist at the end that I was not expecting.

Stand Your Ground Audiobook by A.J. Ullman – Review by Alison Risher

4 Stars. As a Kentucky gal from somewhat less-than-typical upbringing, I appreciate the author’s use of her protagonist’s background. A big- city attorney with small town roots finds herself the center of a complicated legal matter. Themes of this story parallel current events that grip our nation. Racism, classism, and sexism all rear their ugly heads. This tale will keep you guessing until the very end, and leave you reeling from the plot twist.

Stand Your Ground Audiobook by A.J. Ullman – Review by Robin Rankin

Stand Your Ground

I decided to listen to something a little different from what I usually listen to on a whim and I have no regrets.

Through the entire book I found myself liking Cady one minute and not liking her the next which shocked me.   I’m not usually one to flip flop like that over a character several times in the same book no matter the circumstances.   Was this something the author did intentionally or is it me? I have no idea but if it was on purpose he did a great job making it happen either way.

I had no idea how it was going to play out up until the end when it was revealed which made me enjoy it more.  Definitely lots of twists and turns with what I think were very subtle hints along the way.

Melissa Reizian’s narration added more to the story and character.  She did an amazing job bringing Cady along with the others and the story to life.

At first I picked this book up for 2 reasons – one the cause the book was supporting and, two, the fact that C.A. King had contributed to the anthology. Any book with her name on and I will buy no matter what. It was a bonus that I recognised a couple of the other names too.
I am so glad that those reasons pushed me into reading this collection because I was completely taken in by them. The C.A. King book is definitely up there as my favourite. I always have such an affinity for her work and this book was the perfect example as to why! But the other stories all definitely held their own. I liked that they were all different from each other. The issue with anthologies I tend to find is that the books start to merge into one after a while but that was not the case with this one. They each stood their ground and shone through the rest.
I love the fact that this collection is for such a worthy cause as well. For me, it gave such an emotional edge while reading it and I was drawn in all the more. This is a fantastic collection of stories and I would urge everyone to buy it today.
