A Thin line
A Thin line David Boiani
What if a man lost his moral compass between right and wrong, good and evil, mental stability and insanity?
John Corbin has been investigating, catching, and convicting murderers, rapists, and pedophiles for twenty years as a Seattle detective. But lately, someone has been beating him to the punch and eliminating these vile criminals before he can apprehend them. John is learning that there is a thin line between innocent or guilty, good or evil, alive or dead.
By definition, a thin line is a very narrow division between two alternatives. Some being exact opposites, while others are separated by the narrowest of threads. This novel follows this definition to the letter. In life, many situations aren't just black or white. There is usually a modicum of grey to fill in the space. Who is ri

She decided to save her lover despise the fact that they are parted the life gave her to be with another man and forget all her sorrow. But she chooses the love!
Elsa Joseph's novels keep the pages turning.! The plot lines are fantastic, the characters seem real and believable and the writing is rich with description. The Best Kept Secret is a novel with mystery, thriller and romantic elements.
Elsa Joseph is a smart writer. I definitely enjoyed reading her books :)
Elsa Joseph does great work depicting the conflict Natasha is feeling over the two loves in her life. Her writing is original and well worth the read.
Refreshing to read a novel written in Third Person. Natasha is someone you can root for. As for London, what a gorgeous landscape to set
your story in. Been there, so the descriptions bring back fond memories. Good pacing, smart dialogue.

Kindred Intentions
Kindred Intentions Rita Carla Francesca Monticelli
24 hours. 2 people. 1 target.
It was 10 a.m. when undercover agent Amelia Jennings arrived at the law firm Goldberg & Associates for a job interview. Her mission was to investigate a series of murders involving some well-known lawyers in the City. Her target, an elusive hired killer who had been of interest to the police for months.
But her plan is doomed to fall apart before it even starts.
In less than twenty-four hours Amelia will be the prey in a man hunt and her destiny will become entwined with Mike Connor’s.
Their intentions, apparently similar, may prove to be opposite, but the affinity binding them goes beyond what they think they know about each other.
One day to survive. One day to let go of the past.

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.

Big screen material! This talented author brings the reader into a new world where adventure awaits at every turn. The descriptions are well though out, the characters pop off of the page. Don't miss this one!
Monticelli's original Italian has been translated to English for her Red Desert series, giving a charming flavor to the prose. 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.

Night Plague
Night Plague Rowan Rook
Humankind will soon be extinct. A mysterious pandemic cut through two-thirds of the population in just four short years, and within another four, it will decimate everything – and everyone – left. As the last days tick by, relentless and ruthless, the reclusive Mason Mild finds himself torn between a peaceful end and a brutal immortality. Between his hopeless, but comfortable days with his family, and something new…something violent and wild. Have the fang marks above his heel dealt him an early demise or a second birth?
The first few pages suck you in and then you can’t stop reading.
Captivating from the beginning. Always leaves you wondering what happens next. Until the very last paragraph, where the surprise twist...
This book plots nicely and has a great atmosphere. I love the central character Mason Mild.
This is my kind of book
Eerie and compelling! Can't wait to read!

A security-critical facility is destroyed to get to it and it is called Oracle.
That's all USFID investigator Donovan Pierce knows. And while he is told

With those who now know too much more determined than ever to destroy Oracle, will its protectors' cooperation be enough to keep it safe?
