Fool Me Twice is a psychological thriller about a woman named “Shelby Cooper”. Shelby Cooper is a mom, wife, and scientist that left a shady past and kept the secrets of then locked away. However, what Shelby doesn’t know is that the past and present are about to collide and bite her in the ass, but for reasons she cannot comprehend. This was a well written, nail biting, page-turner. The author, while changing stories among the characters throughout, still made it very easy to follow without getting lost. What I think I loved most was the fact that each character she wrote about had a strong, brave, assertive present, but with each being able to show a loving side, too. One of my favorite characters was actually, Abbie, Shelby’s daughter. She is a feisty, smart, brave young woman. I was glad to hear that the author has created a series around this character and I can’t wait to read it.

I have to admit that I have always been a sucker for a little Greek history and mythology! This book hits both of those in one action packed book! I love the detail of the Greek history that is packed into this quick and fun read. Also, the author, Luciana Cavallaro, has done an amazing job portraying the characters and you feel like you are right there with them in this adventure.
Nik visits his grandfather and loves his tales. Are they true? Are they just myths? Totally unknown to Nik, his grandfather gives him a magical coin to protect and keep safe. If it falls into the wrong hands of evil….well read and find out!!

Stand Your Ground is a suspense filled crime thriller by A.J Ullman. This is the first book I have read by this author. I like the way it was told, starting out with the main character Cady shooting someone. I didn’t really know the back story, and it slowly unwinds as the book progresses. I felt that was a good way to tell the story, because it gripped me from the beginning and kept me hooked. Then I was led through discovery and interviews wanting to know if Cady would be tried for murder or if it was justified self defense. My main complaint is the story seemed filled with a lot of rambling, there were a lot of analogies and tangents which seemed to take away from the action of the actual story. The book is very current, referencing BLM, George Floyd, #metoo, and being “woke.” It did not end as I expected in the beginning.

As I started to read Stand Your Ground by A. J. Ullman I had an idea of what the story might be about. What I didn’t anticipate was how quickly I got pulled into the story. Mr. Ullman does a fantastic job of not only showing you what the characters are thinking and feeling but also gives details about the settings. Many times I felt like I was right there with Cady as she was navigating through a life changing situation that could potentially mean she could be accused of murder. The story is full of suspense and keeps you reading through some tough moments that are very relevant to events that have and continue to occur in our country.

The words “unputdownable thriller” are perfect for this book! Shelby Cooper lives a life she created for herself after a rough past, a past she chooses to hide from her family. When Shelby is framed for a murder she didn’t commit, she realizes someone is out to get her, and she thinks her past may be connected. Every step along the way, a piece of the past is revealed, and Shelby is not the only one with secrets. The book did change point of views throughout, making it somewhat confusing. Once I caught on, I was drawn back into the story. Gleade Brown Kabongo created a complex depth of characters and a story that keeps you guessing at every turn. Right until the very last page I was surprised!
Cady Fox is lawyer living in the big city and it is a far cry from the small Kentucky town which she grew up in, she has just left dinner with the senior attorneys of the law firm she works for, where she feels confident that she has cinched the partnership she has been working towards for the last ten years, but as she cycles home through the local park at going on midnight, she ends up in a confrontation with a man in a basketball court where she feels so threatened by him that she ends up shooting him and bringing about his death. As it sinks in what she has had to do, Cady calls the emergency services and when they arrive, she is asked a few questions and then sent to hospital to have her wounds looked over, they end up being a gash in her head and a concussion so she is sent home to recover, but not before the police take a statement from her. When she gets home, she calls her nearest and dearest to tell them what has happened before eventually falling asleep, the next day she engages the help of a lawyer to help with her case and the “stand your ground” statute of her defence.
As the days pass and word of the case, the victim and Cady slowly leak out into the media, a new danger comes to the surface, it is the world’s perceptions of the crime and who committed it which has split down the middle and Cady is bang in the middle of it all. To the people on the outside looking it is the narrative of another privileged white woman shooting and killing another black man and the prejudices surrounding this come to the fore and after recent past events, there is a public outcry which leads to Cady needing to think about the criminal justice system which she may just end up in.
As things become more heated and the debate more and more fierce, Cady hasn’t just got to deal with the aftermath of her self-defence, she also has to deal with the memories of her past bubbling back up to the surface and the reminders of a life she wished to leave behind. Will Cady’s defence keep her free and out of jail, or will her past and present collide to meet out its own kind of justice? This is a narrative which will draw you into murky waters and leave you questioning everything you think you know and leave you pondering the hard questions in life as you follow Cady’s story and are compelled to keep reading to find out the conclusion.

What a read! That was the single line I could figure to start with to lightly describe how well done this book was and is. I am simply amazed and how gripping the writing was as well as the psychological toll it had not just on the characters it contained, but as well as my mind as I read. Freaking amazing writing!
From first glance I thought oh good a thriller to suit my needs. I was pulled in so deep to the point this author is amazing in all they do, and I was pulled in and hooked and I literally spent my evening reading on the weekend till I finished and concluded the case of the boo. Just wow! The suspense was major I would say. I was griped and held till the final word on the final page!
The writing was imply brilliant to say the least, the characters were so well done and put together, their visual was more than just an image, but a very real person in my mind and head. I am left wanting more. It was like good Chinese food, you finished it all, but you still are left wanting more! To me suspense would draw you in, you blink then next big holy crud moment, it kept you on edge literally!
Again, amazing read an I truly highly recommend this novel. The writing is nothing less than great and astounding. I simply must say it is a must read and it is one not to be over looked and passed up. You have to read this to understand my excitement. I happily recommend this prize of a book !
A.J. Ullman delivers in this crime-based suspense novel. He takes the interesting perspective of someone who works within the justice system ending up on the wrong side of the law. Cady, our main character, is a successful attorney vying for partnership at her law firm. She believes the partnership is firmly in her grasp when one evening she walks into a life-or-death situation and must defend herself, to the demise of the other person. From then on, we see Cady’s story unravel, and understand how her past also plays into her current story.
The book is very socially relevant at the time being, looking into things like the Black Lives Matter movement and the discourse around white privilege. While I found it interesting that the author was bringing current social matters into his writing, in some ways I feel that it was pushed a little too hard. The cultural mix within the book and juxtaposition of characters seemed forced in some aspects. Overall, this book held my attention and kept me turning the pages. The characters and the storyline were well crafted, and I will be looking to read more of Mr. Ullman’s books in the future.
This book was amazing!! First of all, the main character is a strong-willed, intelligent woman, and those are always my favorite characters to read. Secondly, it’s well written and kept me engaged throughout the entire story. Thirdly, the interactions between all the characters in the midst of the conflict were so realistic. I really enjoyed seeing different themes touched on throughout the story that are happening in the real world too, in a way that made sense for the story.

Goddess of Everything By: Paul DeBlassie III Genre: Psychological Thriller Pages: 261
This book is creepy, I wasn’t a huge fan but it stands up to its genre. I give this four stars due to it having an amazing story it keeps you captivated and engaged. As you keep reading you learn the power of a bond between mother and son. Setting of a grave yard a son battles his instinct to run from the truth a family secret that can destroy everything. This author is so descriptive that I had to close the book and take a minute but it was worth it in the end. It isn’t a scary horror show it’s right on the brink really has you questioning what you read. Great characters and overall story that has you gasping. As a fan of Mark Edwards this author will be added to my collection.

Nik Zosimos teaches high school and leaves before a department meeting due to a strange text followed by silence from his grandfather. Nik’s papou tells him that he could be the next keeper of a 2500-year-old coin, but to think on it to make sure this is what he wants. Nik can not be told more than that before his decision is made. If he chooses no, he will know nothing else. If he chooses yes, he will begin to train. Nik, like his grandfather is passionate about history. I have never been a fan of history but even I recognized names in this story and got excited. Helen of Troy, Aphrodite, the Iliad, the connections made to so many years earlier, of one small coin that started out as a rock is exciting. Nik is confronted with a schedule that has him almost double thinking his decision to jump in. He begins to learn the history of the coin, while training in weapons, working out, and reading the vast library at his grandfathers. Nik must be prepared for anything. Including knowing that there may be a second coin that if both coins ended up in the wrong hands could cause catastrophic danger. This was a great read and look forward very much to the next book. Thank you Luciana Cavallaro for making even me excited about history, myths, and tales passed down from one generation to the next.

Stand Your Ground is a fantastic thriller by A J Ullman. This was the first time I had read any of this author’s work and if this book is any example of their work then I’ll definitely be reading more. As someone from the UK, I’m not very clued up on US gun laws, so this book was a major eye opener for me. To be honest, I can’t get my head around citizens being able to legally carry a gun. My home city of Glasgow is violent enough and the thought of adding guns to that mix really fills me with fear. I was hooked to this book from the very beginning and just did not want to put it down. Why does real life have to get in the way of valuable reading time. There book is not particularly fast paced. There is a lot of added detail that gives you a much more in depth look into Cady’s earlier life. The writer really does take you on a fascinating journey and there are many times that it takes you in a totally different direction from where you thought you were going. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it.

The Guardian’s Legacy (The Coin of Time series Book 1) by Luciana Cavallaro was a very interesting and short read for me. I was initially drawn to this novella by its cover, the colors were beautiful, and the drawing intricate. But upon reading the first chapter I found myself fascinated with the characters and the story of the 2500 year old magical coin, that is so powerful it must be guarded at all costs. This novella included lots of Greek mythology, fantastic characters, and an amazing plot that will keep the readers reading until the very last word. I loved this story so much that I initially just wanted to read for a little bit and found myself reading the whole thing on one sitting. So if you want to find out if this magical coin falls into the wrong hands you’ll have to read The Guardian’s Legacy (The Coin of Time series Book 1) by Luciana Cavallaro for yourself.

Where do I even begin. This book was INCREDIBLE. Like truly an unbelievable read! twists and turns you never see coming, bombs dropping everywhere. I was enthralled fully and couldn’t have put it down if I even tried! So well written and truly a thrilling tale! I couldn’t read it fast enough, but at the same time wanted to savour every word! I felt a serious NEED to get to the end and figure out what was really going on and boy oh boy! THE ENDING did NOT disappoint. This book is a work of art and the author Glede Brown Kabongo is a mastermind. To even have come up with a plot like this and wonderful characters like these, magic. If you enjoy reading a book from the edge of your seat look no further because you absolutely DO NOT want to miss this one!!!

I have previously read “Our Wicked Lies” by Kabongo. I loved it so much I’ll now blindly pick any of her books without even reading the synopsis. Fool me twice did not disappoint! True to the author’s style, the suspense begins immediately and doesn’t let up until the very end. I love how she gets right into the story so you are invested from the start. I recommend all her books!

What a thought-provoking book. This is the first book I have read by A. J. Ullman, but it makes me want to search out more. Cady is a white woman lawyer who is getting ready to make partner at her law firm when riding her bike through her sketchy neighborhood, she is accosted, shoots, and kills a black man. Cady has only been carrying a gun for the last couple years due to moving to this neighborhood. And that is how the book starts!! She states self-defense, but not everyone is buying it. BLM is not making it an open and shut case. We learn more about Cady’s backstory and see her changing as the story progresses. Being a lawyer, she is seeing the other side of the judicial system. Does she stand and fight? Does she go to jail? How does this unfortunate situation change her? I really enjoyed that the story makes use of current headlines and social issues. Thank you, A. J. Ullman, for an amazing read!

Intrigue starts right at the beginning of this one. It begins with hang-up calls, being followed and chased, then threats on the lives of her children. Someone has it out for Shelby Cooper, and they promise not to stop until she is utterly destroyed. There is lots to unpack here; Shelby is obviously hiding much from her family, but we find out about it slowly, as the clues are revealed. The psychological thriller aspect of this book is done very well. The characters fell a bit flat for me… I had trouble caring for them, which took a bit away from the plot. However, Kabongo is a good thriller writer, so if you like being on the edge of your seat, guessing at what’s coming next, this may be a good choice for you.
I really enjoyed this story. The author does an amazing job of making the story interested and gripping without giving away too many details and making the person behind it all obvious too early into the story. The story a fast paced psychological Thriller involving murder, revenge and a stalker.
Everyone had a past and secrets from that past. But when their past comes back to haunt them it can destroy the perfect life that now have. That is what is happening to Shelby. Someone is set on getting revenge for something she did in the past, however it not only Shelby they are set out to get, with her children getting dragged into this mess, Shelby know she needs to do whatever this stalker wants to save her family and children. But when she is framed for murder, that puts a different spin on things. The stalker that seems harmless and turned deadly and Shelby now serious worries for her families safety as well as her own. She can’t really get sent to prison for a murder she didn’t commit could she?

Stand your ground by A.J. Ulman a five-star read that will grip you and only let you go when you feel the shot. This won’t be a story for everyone, as some people will miss the underlying theme to the story, maybe it’s because I don’t live where this is set, so I see the outside perspective, or maybe it just that I always try to be the devils advocate and show people both sides, and that’s what this story does so well, the author has a great way of showing you everything while keeping it hidden, it is almost like the wizard of Oz, you know what you are seeing, but there is so much more in reality. If you like a good thriller that has a voice that needs to be heard it is very current so will be raw to many, but this is something everyone should read.

This is one heck of a page-turning thriller. From the beginning scene in the restraint until the heart-rendering scene at the end, you just can’t put the book down. This is writing that grips you at the heart and has you feeling every emotion and feeling that the character feels. Every description has you feeling like you are there in the story, so vivid and detailed. This is a must read for action and thriller fans. Highly recommend.
If you are a fan of action/adventure, history, and suspense, you will LOVE The Guardian’s Legacy (The Coin of Time Series Book 1) by Luciana Cavallaro. I am a fan of authors like Dan Brown, and movies like National Treasure, and this book fits in nicely with those works. An unlikely, but likeable, main character receives a call to action which sets off events that will carry you away from the first page. There is something for every reader in this book: action, adventure, history, myth, suspense, and family secrets. This is a fast-paced read that ended too soon, but thankfully, it is only book one. This author’s writing style is captivating and well-done, and sucks you right into the story. I very highly recommend this book and am awaiting book 2.

Silent Gavel (A Crawford Mystery Book 1) by Merissa Racine
4 out of 5 Stars
Lauren Besoner has had enough drama recently. Lauren is ready for some stability. Lauren has bought a house and gotten a dog. She is trying to make a life for herself. All of that comes to an abrupt halt when she finds her boss, Judge Murphy, dead. As the investigation ramps up, Lauren finds herself as a suspect. How does she find a way to prove it wasn’t her?
Merissa Racine adds twists at every turn, keeping you guessing until the very end. Just when you think you have it figured it out, a new piece of evidence pops up and changes everything. Lauren can’t stay out of trouble. She keeps landing in the interrogation room with the very handsome Detective Sam Overstreet. It is not looking good for Lauren. Excellent storytelling! Maybe the mystery will be how Lauren avoids a relationship with Sam?

The Guardian’s Legacy was a really good read! I enjoyed so many aspects of this quick novel. The history, the Greek retellings, the entire pace of the novel. So much was there to keep me entertained and hold my focus while reading. The Greek mythology was a amazing to me. I love reading anything that has to do Greek history and their gods, and the fact that this book and the premise of the story was based around them was incredible to me. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel and I can’t wait to see what happens next in the next installment of this series!

Wow this book had me hooked from beginning to end. This was a great mystery with suspense and I really thought I had it figured out on “who done it”…or so I thought….. Lauren is a court stenographer and when she goes to pick up the judge she was working for one morning, something was not right. When Lauren went into Judge Murphy’s house to check in to see if she was ready, Lauren finds the judge murdered in her own home. Sam Overstreet is the detective on the case and has his eyes on Lauren as his #1 suspect. Who murdered Judge Murphy? This book is a who done it murder mystery and just so good. This book really drew me in and I cannot wait until I continue with book #2.
