Nothing like a thriller when the plan falls apart and the heroes have to wing it! Makes it all the harder for the reader to guess what is going to happen...
Fast and enjoyable.

Her characters are 3d, and her hard sci-fi setting is researched impeccably. Novella-length book one, "Point of no return," serves as an introduction, constructing the hooks that power future volumes and ramping up the tension and mystery.

One Last Move Wes Snowden
When his business partner dies under mysterious circumstances, Doctor Lawrence Rosewood is unwittingly thrust into a desperate battle to stave off a consortium of criminals who have set their sights on gaining an unwelcome foothold in the Golden Ages chain of retirement homes.
At first glance, it appears to be an normal take-over attempt, but when the sinister real motivations behind the unsolicited move become apparent, the psychological chess match between Larry and his vicious opponents turns deadly.

Couldn't put this story and ended up reading it far into the night. The day to day running of care facilities is interesting with the fascinating characters weaved into the story. Not just a good thriller, but touching, too.
I am really enjoying this book. As I read, the scene plays in my mind which makes it hard to put down. The story has gripped me for sure.
Sublet
Sublet L.C. Kincaide
An apartment to die for!
Life hasn’t been kind to Julia lately, and receiving a Tarot card in the mail from a mysterious sender doesn’t help. In fact, her two friends have also received one and agree that the card could just as easily be a harbinger of good fortune rather than ill tidings.
Refusing to be spooked, she sets aside the forewarning, focusing instead on moving to the affordable apartment she sublet in a gorgeous brownstone in a trendy neighborhood.
But no sooner does Julia move in than strange things start happening, which she attributes to her active imagination — she’s an artist after all — or possibly her pain meds. It hasn’t yet occurred to her that it could be something sinister instead.
Time will tell, but time isn’t on her side.
