A witty yet convincing presentation of telepathy is just one of the indicators that Desy Smith's DIVISION will be a fun read for lovers of fantasy and romance.
"Division" is an amazing rhyme between unity and necessity. I love the mutal "special" concept both genders share, as well as the philosophy of both being eventually better together. Excellent!
On the money!
This is great

Peace in the Middle East hangs in the balance.
The President’s Mideast peace initiative is moving forward. But Russia’s intended response – if the peace accord is signed – will dramatically shift the balance of power in the region. Disclosure of the Russian plan will end the peace negotiations and the President’s hopes for re-election.
David Parker has obtained copies of Russia’s secret plans and is convinced that the plans must be made public. Before he can act, Parker mysteriously disappears, and criminal defense attorney Lucius White and his investigator, Horse McGee, embark on a quest to locate him and the documents. Someone, maybe more than one someone, doesn’t want them to succeed and will do anything – including murder – to stop them.

I loved this book. Lots of tension, lots of mystery, great characters and humour throughout.
Compelling beginning to this conspiracy-theory plot focusing on the Middle East, Russia and the questionable role of various operators within the US government. Interesting likeable characters. Reads very authoritatively on all things military and security service related.
Great cover and blurb - compelling story idea. I'm interested!

Parris writes compellingly and with such bold conviction. The plotline draws you in right away. The characters are interesting, in the way real people are when you sit and watch them. You can't stop thinking about them when you're not reading about them. Well worth the time.
I've recently read the first two chapters of Ms. Parris' spy thriller. This story wastes no time taking the reader right into a world of espionage. Rose Clarke wants back into "the life" and must convince Fairchild to meet with Walter, a mysterious man who can reinstate Rose's status in the spy world, a world she's addicted to. I'm looking forward to finding out more about the world Parris has built. I like her style and the pacing of this novel.

RASP won't be easy. Harper must lead a pair of enlisted Ranger candidates to victory. Captain Dobbs, an infantry officer also competing for selection, has Harper's number. Aggressive officers battle head-to-head in each task; Engineer vs. Infantry.
The 75th Ranger Regiment's motto requires initiative, but will Harper win or lose against Dobbs by sticking with the Ranger Handbook? Or might he die in the process?
A few guides have been writing about RASP, Ranger Assessment and Selection Program. Individuals who undertake the program must endure physical challenges beyond the ordinary. It is said, even though their bodies tire and fail, their minds must not fail. Those putting up their hand to face selection must have a tenacity above the norm. In Ranger Selection, Harper launches into the challenge. But levels of intrigue set this selection apart from others. Two men, both with the right determination to win, take on the task that sees winning at all costs the only option.
Intriguing blurb.
Triple Cross
Triple Cross Alan P. Woodruff
Harris Masters is on the run – from the mob and the government.
The first trial of New Orleans mob kingpin Sonny Falco, for which Masters had provided the evidence used by the government, ended in a mistrial. Now Falco wants to make sure Masters doesn’t live to testify at his retrial.
Masters can't trust the Marshal’s Service or the U.S. Attorney to protect him, so he turns to Lucius White for help.
Whatever White can do, it won’t be easy, but it will be dangerous. There is a contract out on Masters life, but White and Masters must return to New Orleans to find the documents that might save Masters. The risks are high, the chances of success are small, and Masters and White can’t completely trust anyone whose help they need

I loved this book. Lots of tension, lots of mystery, great characters and humour throughout.
Compelling beginning to this conspiracy-theory plot focusing on the Middle East, Russia and the questionable role of various operators within the US government. Interesting likeable characters. Reads very authoritatively on all things military and security service related.
Great cover and blurb - compelling story idea. I'm interested!

Dark Paradise
Dark Paradise Gene Desrochers
Emotionally adrift, lonely after his wife’s death, Boise Montague does the thing no one should ever do: he goes back home again.
Boise remembered the Caribbean home of his childhood – in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands – as a paradise. But when his best friend is murdered and the case quickly buried by local police, Boise realizes how far paradise has fallen.
With the aid of Dana Goode, a local reporter investigating the kidnapping of a real estate mogul’s daughter, Boise goes on the hunt for his friend’s killer. But he’ll find more than he bargained for – much more. Because in the once-sleepy island city of Charlotte Amalie, sun, sand, and surf have been replaced by madness, mayhem, and murder – and his friend’s death was just a warm-up.
Going home again can literally be murder – especially when your home has changed from Heaven on Earth… to a Dark Paradise.

The opposite of life isn't death; it's something far worse.
In an anarcho-capitalist future, space-based corporate settlements have replaced the State. Colonel John Alvarez, a fifteen-year veteran, is unwilling to waste more years leading missions into deep space. He wants to start over and make a new life with his wife and son.
But when a distress message from a distant research probe is received, Novos Corp reactivates Alvarez's contract. He must carry out one last mission, a rescue attempt. Unknown to Alvarez, however, is the hidden threat that awaits him, one that—if he cannot stop it—will doom humanity to a fate worse than death.

A witty yet convincing presentation of telepathy is just one of the indicators that Desy Smith's DIVISION will be a fun read for lovers of fantasy and romance.
"Division" is an amazing rhyme between unity and necessity. I love the mutal "special" concept both genders share, as well as the philosophy of both being eventually better together. Excellent!
On the money!
This is great

Code of Rainbow: Soaring Flame and the Dragon...
Code of Rainbow: Soaring Flame and the Dragon-transcending Magimal Weiqi Wang
This is the first book of a teen fantasy book series that nurtures the bloom of MAGIC in the soil of SCIENCE - something rarely attempted. The transition from magic to science will be bit by bit, so the early books do read like a "mainstream" magic fantasy.
Soarame has a pair of special eyes. He can see magic elements in this world, which are supposed to be invisible. This enviable gift of his could reveal the truth of the world, but it also puts him in danger.
Many animals in this world possess magic power, so they are called “magimals” - dragons as examples. Soarame fortunately got a baby magimal as his best friend, but they got into troubles together - troubles that were a lot bigger than dragons.
Could they survive?

Follow Cal from the drug infested streets through the worlds of drug gangs and the super-rich to the stunning conclusion.
From the book's opening chapter, you know this is a hard-boiled crime novel. Cal, known on the streets as Rocky, wakes up in a back alley. The description is vivid and confronting. He tries to break Roy from his drug-induced stupor as they have to hit the streets. Cal know that if anyone from his past recognizes him, he would meet a slow and painful death. One question hounds Cal, why did Tommy die of bad drugs when he was an alcoholic?
Excellent book with an interesting character and an interesting character. I enjoyed this refreshing approach to the genre.
I love a good detective story, especially when it involves a conspiracy. And when a case hangs on just one word, it has to be a page-turner.
This looks awesome. I love broken heroes. So much potential for awesome characterization.
This one has all the right stuff for a great story. Can't wait.
