Weakness (Nine Lies Book 1)
Weakness (Nine Lies Book 1) Z. A. Coe
"If you're too weak to live, then you deserve to die."
For twenty years Felix Black has lived under the thumb of the man who killed his parents. Impressed into the brutally austere lifestyle of the murderous criminal group CO9 when he was just a child, Felix has learned how to survive on meager rations and impossibly demanding training.
Despite this, Avery, his kidnapper, continues to call him weak. Chafing under Avery’s taunting mantra that the weak deserve to be punished, Felix finally resolves to prove once and for all that he is stronger than everyone believes—but can he handle the shattering consequences?
For twenty years Felix Black has lived under the thumb of the man who killed his parents. Impressed into the brutally austere lifestyle of the murderous criminal group CO9 when he was just a child, Felix has learned how to survive on meager rations and impossibly demanding training.
Despite this, Avery, his kidnapper, continues to call him weak. Chafing under Avery’s taunting mantra that the weak deserve to be punished, Felix finally resolves to prove once and for all that he is stronger than everyone believes—but can he handle the shattering consequences?
Weakness is the first of the Nine Lies Books. The first chapter opens with a recurring nightmare until the reader is launched into Felix Black's reality: A grim life living in a shack beneath a railway bridge. Coe uses sparse, declarative sentences, a style to match Felix's austere life. Felix is disciplined. He exercises to the point of exhaustion almost as a punishment for self-loathing. Repeated throughout is the mantra, 'If you're too weak to live, then you deserve to die'. The twenty-eight-year-old lives a miserable existence, scrounging for food and stealing whatever he can. He is burned with a metal collar, the reason made clearer as the story unfolds. Underpinning this Spartan lifestyle is a yearning for normal relationships. He finds a romance novel and reads it even though he doesn't think much of the plot or characters. Coe includes a tongue-in-cheek bio of Dawn Starlite the books author. As funny as it is, I found it a little distracting in this otherwise taught narrative. Avery's hold and manipulation of Felix, along with others of the Wold Fang Club is revealed in this enthralling, and at time gruesome, book.
Great cover, great blurb
You think your family life is bad? Z.A. Coe's "Hunger is the Best Sauce" follows a teenage girl's horrors and triumphs, with ruthlessly accurate attention to their nuances, in a a compelling story of small-town life.

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?

The Witness Alan P. Woodruff
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!

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.
beautiful cover :)
I felt like I was on Mars, the real Mars, and felt the desperation that isolated settlers will experience. Great read
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.

Shadow Ballet- Betrayal Izabell Key
"I'm trapped. They want my blood. They want my head.
I feel a rat walking on my corpse. The blood on my skin… I can smell the soil. There is a song in my ears disturbing with insolence the silence of the forest. It is not your beautiful voice. I want to cover my ears… but I can not move."
Jerry opens his eyes in a cell, accused of the murder of the most feared gangster in Atlantic City: His dad.
On his way to jail, Jerry bursts out for vengeance, but whoever set him up placed a large bounty on his head. Head hunters, police and detectives on the payroll are after him. It is not very easy to survive the night. So, he does not. Jerry gets shot.
A beautiful prostitute, Lin, finds Jerry and shelters him. However, she has no idea who Jerry is and what kind of trouble he brings.

Shadow Ballet- Betrayal by Izabell Key. To me it seemed like a female revision of 'Sin City' (movie): Jerry, the son of a crime-boss gets hamstrung during the powerplays of organized crime, gets shot, and left for dead. But an angel of the night, a prostitute named Lin, has mercy on Mr. Amnesia, and grants him shelter. That is a daring recipe, full of potential and social, or amorous, intricacies! Izabell Key challenges our expectations, keeps us guessing about a happy end, or a downward spiral, and chose a cover style reminding of noir-classics, or modern noir sub-genres.
