Giveaway: THE REDEEMERS (Quinn Colson #5) by Ace Atkins
He is only in his early thirties, but now Quinn Colson is jobless—voted out of office as sheriff of Tibbehah County, Mississippi, thanks to the machinations of county kingpin Johnny Stagg. He has offers, in bigger and better places, but before he goes, he’s got one more job to do—bring down Stagg’s criminal operations for good. At least that’s the plan. But in the middle of the long, hot summer, a trio of criminals stage a bold, wall-smashing break-in at the home of a local lumber mill owner, making off with a million dollars in cash from his safe, which is curious, because the mill owner is wealthy—but not that…

Review: The Last Town (Wayward Pines #3) by Blake Crouch
The last time we saw Wayward Pines, all hell was breaking loose…..literally! The abbys had arrived in town and everything was in complete and utter chaos. Ethan Burke called David Pilcher’s bluff and told the residents of Wayward Pines what the town really was and in retaliation, Pilcher opened the gates and let the abbys in. Now the town is under attack and there is no way to stop the abbys. With humanity down to only 400 people, there aren’t that many people to ‘spare’ and with the abbys making short work of the remaining towns people, Ethan hopes to find a way to stop the abbys and save the…

Review: Wayward (Wayward Pines #2) by Blake Crouch
After burning through the first book of the Wayward Pines series, I immediately picked up the second book and started reading. The first book ended with some stunning revelations about what exactly the town of Wayward Pines, Idaho really was. Ethan Burke was finally coming to terms with his position in Wayward Pines and finally beginning to understand what exactly was at stake should he continue to fight conformity. But then suddenly there is a murder in Wayward Pines…..the first one….well the first one that wasn’t orchestrated or planned anyway.

Review: Pines (Wayward Pines #1) by Blake Crouch
Not many network TV shows catch my eye, I’m typically an HBO girl when it comes to ‘my shows’ but something about Wayward Pines on Fox caught my eye and after the first episode I was hooked. What kind of weirdness is this? It wasn’t until the third episode that I noticed it was based on a book series, so like a good bookaholic I raced out and bought the first book to start reading immediately! Secret Service agent, Ethan Burke, was sent to Wayward Pines to find two missing agents but Ethan and his partner were hit by a truck. When Ethan wakes up in Wayward Pines hospital it’s pretty…

Review: Successio (Roma Nova #3) by Alison Morton
As many of you are aware, I have been very impressed with this new series. This is the first and really, the only, alternative history book that I’ve come across in all my literary adventures. Successio is the third book in the series and I still stand by the ‘read the series in order’ theory. I’ve seen some people say that these books read easily as stand alone novels but I completely disagree. The world of Roma Nova is complex and the back story is very detailed so I would say if this novel looks at all eye catching to you, then start with the first book and fully immerse yourself in the rich…

Review: The Fatal Flame (Timothy Wilde Mysteries #3) by Lyndsay Faye
Wow, completely different than what I was expecting! This book is a very uniquely written mystery and I loved it. I have never read anything by Faye before, but what a treat it was! Her writing style is so different and raw. It’s almost had a film noir feel to it….gritty, dark, and real but at the same time oddly addicting. In New York City, an arsonist threatens Alderman Robert Symmes, a corrupt and powerful leader high in the Tammany Hall gang ranks. Copper Star detective, Timothy Wilde is investigating the arson situation when the love of his life, Mercy Underhill, suddenly shows up on his door step and takes in an…

Review: The Last Bookaneer by Matthew Pearl
Matthew Pearl has been on my radar for a while now. His books always look so intriguing since they are historic thrillers books…..about books…..but for some reason I just haven’t made it around to reading any of his books. When this one came around to review I jumped at it since this was an author I have wanted to read. The Last Bookaneer explores the dark side of publishing and the literary pirates who commandeered unpublished works by famous authors. Before 1890, loose copyright laws allowed for author’s works to be publish on the blackmarket so to speak, which ultimately gave rise to the bookaneers whose job it was to track…
