Death Most Wicked by Suzi Albracht

Death Most Wicked is the third part of Ms. Albracht’s Devil’s Due Collection. It is, in fact, something of a prequel, outlining the involvement of Detective Mikhael Ruskoff’s involvement in the bizarre serial murders occurring in the Baltimore area. As an introduction to Ruskoff it is an excellent book. The detective emerges as a compassionate human being and a loving family man. In fact sometimes … Continue reading Death Most Wicked by Suzi Albracht

The characters are well developed and quite believable. … Continue reading Dream Girl: Love On Reality TV by Alexis Alvarez

FINE REVIEW: “The Railroad” by Neil Newton ~ Courageous Book Steeped with Gravitas

Originally posted on Mark Fine | Ruminations:
The Railroad by Neil Newton My rating: 5 of 5 stars There are times it takes great courage to write, especially when the events are personal—a major human-made catastrophe.

Instead the beginning is intriguing and I found myself wondering what was going on. Little by little the … Continue reading “London Calling: A Deep Water Novel ” by Rocky Rochford

Naked Eye-Opener: To Reach the Dream You Must Forget About It by Gisela Hausmann

Buy Here Let me say up front I am not a fan of self–help books. I have read my share and they almost always sound preachy. “If only you will do what I tell you, you will have the perfect life”. That being said I started Ms. Hausmann’s book with more than a little prejudice. I was knocked off my feet almost immediately. This is … Continue reading Naked Eye-Opener: To Reach the Dream You Must Forget About It by Gisela Hausmann

Book Review: “Ice” by Jessica Wren

Originally posted on Where the buck stops:
Book Review of “Ice” by Jessica Wren “Ice” is a book that satisfies on many levels. The story, as a whole, is extremely evocative, creating a strong “small town” feeling like a vintage Ray Bradbury story. The small town atmosphere reminds me of the Americana iconic play “Our town”. Wren is skillful in her development of a small… Continue reading Book Review: “Ice” by Jessica Wren
