Fatal Domain – Steven James
Si vis pacem, para bellum. “If you want peace, prepare for war.” Broker of Lies was easily one of my favorite books last year, as evidenced by my glowing review. I cannot say the same […]

Red River Seven – A.J. Ryan
Red River Seven by A.J. Ryan follows a group of people with disconnected abilities, stranded on a ship with no idea who they were or why they were there. But surely they’ve been thrown together […]

Just Another Missing Person – Gillian McAllister
Wrong Place Wrong Time enraptured me. It sucked me in from the first page and never let go. Evidently, I wasn’t the only one, as it was a Goodreads nominee for Best Mystery & Thriller […]

Even though the first two Alex Cross books were the ones turned into movies starring Morgan Freeman, it’s the third Alex Cross novel—Jack and Jill—that’s most deserving. Two killers (you can surmise what they call […]
