eBook Review: Love Unscripted by Tina Reber
Verdict: 4 Stars When I approached hybrid author Tina Reber for our interview a couple of weeks ago at an event in the Simon&Schuster offices, she took one look at my camera and called out, "No paparazzi!" I was confused, until I read her once-self-published romance, Love Unscripted. Her title, which was picked up and re-released by Atria Books, presents a very … [Read more...] about eBook Review: Love Unscripted by Tina Reber
eBook Review: Warm Bodies by Issac Marion
Verdict: 5 Stars Sadly, on most major review sites it's simply not feasible to give a book more than five stars. Otherwise, this book would qualify for a few extra, just for its greatness. On the surface, Warm Bodies (Emily Bestler Books - Atria), which will be releasing as a major motion picture on February 1st, looks just like a fun diversion, maybe a mindless beach … [Read more...] about eBook Review: Warm Bodies by Issac Marion
eBook Review: The Thieves of Legend by Richard Doetsch
Verdict: 4 Stars With so many high-volume and well-known thriller writers on the market, it’s important to make everything stand out, not just the high action plot.

eBook Review: Pierced by Thomas Enger
Verdict: 4 Stars It’s difficult to jump into a sequel or series without having read all of the titles the came before, which is one of the unique challenges to writing serial novels. The author has to strike a balance between giving enough information to new readers that they can feel drawn into the story, without repeating so much back story that faithful fans feel talked … [Read more...] about eBook Review: Pierced by Thomas Enger
eBook Review: Trickster’s Point by William Kent Krueger
Verdict: 5 Stars I don’t really like mysteries. Basically, I just never care whodunit and even if it was the butler, I can’t really figure out why he did it. Fortunately, Krueger is such a masterful storyteller that he made me care. You can’t not care, especially when a beloved political figure is lying on the ground, gasping for breath with his best friend’s arrow … [Read more...] about eBook Review: Trickster’s Point by William Kent Krueger
eBook Review: Black List by Brad Thor
Verdict: 5-Stars I sincerely hope that Brad Thor is just a great fiction writer because if he’s not, if he’s simply writing the truth, America is in a lot of trouble. According to Black List, the real bad guy is our own government. Worse, the people who are charged with keeping us safe are often in more danger from internal orders than the terrorists they hunt. That was … [Read more...] about eBook Review: Black List by Brad Thor
