Missing

You would love powerful romantic suspense novels, this is the one with you. This brought together two people, who were Missing things in their life. It did have a little bit spiritual zing to it, which gave me a whole lot of meaning. This one would have your heart strings pulled tight and taut like a fishing rod and have you rooting for both Ally Monroe, a lonely girl in a small West Virginia town with a foot deformity, and Wes Holden, a former solider from Georgia who lost his family. When this two meet, chemistry spark between them. My heart went out to both of them. It's beautifully written with a bittersweet ending. This novel is true to form to the war overseas today, when we have loved ones over there fighting for our country against terrorism. Three cheers for this one!

The Templar's Code

Wow. This is really an excellent thriller. It packs a wallop of a punch and so much more. Part action-adventure, part thriller, this novels takes you all over the East Coast and London and back again. We really know the main characters well and their relationship. Caedmon Aisquith is an eccentric Englishmen, while Edie Miller, his assistant/lover, had a troublesome past. We really feel for them and experience their pain, their heartache, and their quest for a great adventure. But they're a great team, when they're on the quest to find the great puzzle know to men, while evil lurks right behind them. Non-stop action, this would take you on a thrill ride on every page, packed with tons of knowledge and insight into the Knights of Templar. Buckle your seat belts. You'll root for Caedmon and Edie in this series of esoteric thrillers that's reminiscent of Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code.

The Pretender

If you enjoy great historical romances, this is the one. Celeste Bradley does it best here, when she introduces us to two different people cut from the different cloth: Agatha Cunnington, who's looking for her brother, and Simon Raines, someone who works for the Liar's Club, a prestigious club for men to gather information and spy for their country. Two world do collide when Simon and Agatha meet. It's not an easy relationship. Once they stop, they can't get enough with each other. There's danger, intrigue and romance, all thrust into this novel. When apart, we see why they need to belong and how they feel for each other. It's Kismet for this star-crossed lovers. I really pulled for them here and applauded their efforts.

The Passage

In Justin Cronin's The Passage, the first installment in his futuristic thriller trilogy series, you would be taken into a whole new world as we know it. With a combination of paranormal/urban fantasy/horror into this thriller, this is epic and long like Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth historical fiction series. With a paranormal feel to it than horror with sci fi and fantasy elements, it had launched a trilogy and reminiscent William Golding's the Lord of the Flies, without the cannibalism parts. Welcome to their world, when an epidemic virus had flat lined the total country population with war-torn states as their own countries. We follow Peter and Amy in their fight of survival against the virals who had decimated their families and the whole country. With their circle of twelve friends, when they fall in love to find their own victory with a band of their brothers and sisters. Non-stop, we learn about their lives and how they came to this stage of their lives.

For this epic post-apocalyptic thriller debut, it had everything you ever could want in this long novel.  We care about Peter, Amy and their friends in this futuristic new world they were in. We learned how Amy had became warped into the passage of the vortex to lead the fight. We all care about the country as a whole with their remaining survivals on the search for peace and justice. For this enjoyable read, you're catapulted into a whole new world in the future from Texas and beyond. Drama, suspense, a hint of romance, intrigue and a lot of mystery was packed into this novel.

Go check it out and get warped into their future.



Silent Scream

If you love great romantic suspense novels, then you're in for a treat. In the 11th installment of Karen Rose's romantic suspense series, Silent Scream, it was dealt with two lovestruck people, David Hunter and Olivia Sutherland. Both of them had emotional baggage, while working together on a complicated serial arson case. David was devastated when he couldn't save a teen girl in the fire. They shared a passionate night, a long time ago, and someone knew their secret. It was up to them to stop the fire and face their blackmailer before it was too late.

 In the second installment of the Minnesota series, I loved how it was the central location for this novel. I cared about David and Olivia and were glad to work things out to get back together again. I didn't like the serial arsonist and the blackmailer one bit, even in a fiery situation. There was  plenty of fireworks between them, a lot of heated suspense and drama, and tons of twists and turns to keep you guessing to the end with plenty of action and romance, too. Bring the fans! This was an enjoyable read. Karen Rose's romantic suspense novels will get you hooked on reading her work from the first page to the end.

Slave to Sensation

Wow! This is a brand new series in paranormal romance. We're talking exotic and erotic between changelings, half-human, half-animal creatures, and the Psy, Psychic humans. Never have been them a well-packed combination of Sascha Duncan, a Psy, and Lucas Hunter, a changeling of a leopard. This gives it a twist to other PNR novels like it. Red hot, steamy, and totally set your hearts on fire. For them, they would discover what's it like to feel and to beloved, to belong and sacrifice for life. We can see how Sascha struggles with her being a different kind of Psy, and what it must take for her to break those bonds and be with her mate. For Lucas, he has a haunting past of hurt and loss, and protects his Pack and the one he loves. Danger does brew, but in the end, they're together. Turn up the heat on the ACs!
