Auditory Viewpoint Lillian R. Melendez
Gloria Rank has lived her entire life in the dark. Blind since birth, she has made a name for herself as a respected talk radio show host in New Jersey. When her younger sister, Anna, has her identity stolen and a man is murdered outside her apartment, Anna becomes the prime suspect in an FBI investigation. But when bodies begin piling up around her, the FBI has to admit that she is being stalked by a murderer. With the FBI focused in the wrong direction, it is up to Gloria to teach Anna to use her other senses--hearing, touch, taste, and smell--which she never really had to completely rely on before to help uncover a ring of identity thieves and stop the killer from taking her life, and perhaps Gloria's as well! Their only hope for survival is an experiment in perception that will unearth

ANOINTED Wes Snowden
After unexpectedly inheriting the British title of Lord of Mogford after the suspicious death of his father, investigative reporter Maxwell Muggs heads out to steamy Baton Rouge to battle with the despicable, self-anointed bishop of a cult-like church. Annabelle Muffet, a fiercely determined local reporter, convinces Max that the Church of the Exalted Enlightenment is not only rotten to the core but is literally getting away with legalized murder. As Max and his partner begin to peel away the many layers of deception, they are astounded and appalled at the depths of depravity they uncover within the mysterious Anointed Circle, an elite group of one hundred men loyal only to the bishop. In return for their loyalty, the Anointed Circle members participate in wanton, sex, drugs, and alcohol-fueled parties at the bishop's private retreat on Hidden Bayou. This thrilling, fast-paced mystery/suspense adventure is a genuine page-turner. Don't miss this real treat for mystery/suspense fans!
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.

New York, 2061
When Kara wakes in a hospital with no memory, she learns two shocking truths: she's the head of a criminal organization, and she’s the latest target of New York’s most brutal crime lord—the Supplier.
Federal agent Max Field has been hunting the elusive Supplier for over a decade, and now, Kara’s buried memories may be the only way to unmask his identity and end his reign of terror.
Facing prison for her crimes, Kara is offered one chance at freedom: enter an experimental memory machine that blurs the line between reality and nightmare.
But as she descends deeper into the shadows of her dark past, she faces an even greater danger—hunting a killer she can’t remember.
And the closer she gets to exposing the Supplier in her memory, the more relentless he becomes in reality, determined to erase Kara’s secrets—and her life—for good.

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.

With her trust challenged by those she loves, Claudia turns to the enigmatic Saul Reardon and together they embark on a dangerous journey in search of answers.
The protagonist is easy to relate to, living what she thinks is an ordinary life, down to earth, with a sense of humor. Colorful, unique details about her physical reactions and her surroundings, using all the senses, draw me into her situation right away with the hook of a mystery - what smells like a dead body. This novel doesn't mess around with expository, just jumps right into the action like entertainment should. When new delightful characters are introduced, I bond with them too. Masterfully written prose, graceful and urgent.
Claudia Cabriati keeps you on your toes as you follow her through the book. Well written and real page turner.
Everyone has a past. Everyone has memories good and bad. Claudia Cabriati has no memory of her first eight years of life. Some things are etched in memory such as the stench of death. Claudia smells death in her apartment. The odour evokes memories of her Papa and Nona and a time she was called Carina. The past is best forgotten until conspiracy and murder brings it back.
You won't be bored even for a second with this riveting tale of murder and frightening things. I enjoyed it from cover to cover.
This sounds fabulous, looking forward to it.

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.
