The Book Whisperers

That Darkness by Lisa Black Thank you to Netgalley for copy of this Arc in exchange for a fair review. So Maggie is a forensic investigator for the Cleveland Police Department, and she has seen a lot of bodies, but this young girl who was never reported missing sparks Maggie to leave no stone uncovered. Jack is a killer, there really is only problem with that he is also a detective with the Cleveland Police Department. He is also on the hunt for the killer of the young, but for very different reasons and his uneasy alliance with Maggie may just be the end of home. I feel like this is almost too spoilerish for me, but if you look up the book you can actually read all of that information in the synopsis so...I guess I didn't spoil anything. I like police procedurals especially if they are done right, so I guess in essence sometimes I love them sometimes I don't. I am going to lean with I don't love this, but I did like it. I thought it was solid and definitely a

It’s Monday and I’ll be honest this one’s been a tad more difficult than any of the others. As a long time insomnia sufferer I’m used to running on a few short hours of sleep but this Monday I’m not just tired I’m also getting over a double ear infection a sinus infection and just for funsies acute bronchitis all brought on by the lovely allergies I suffer in the spring. Yay Spring!!! As such I tend to spend most of my time in doors attempting to cut down on the amount of time I suffer and I’ve had the distinct pleasure of revisiting one of my favorite worlds this past week and this weekend. The IN DEATH series by J.D. Robb is one of my favorite series of books. It’s Criminal Minds meets NYPD Blue and it’s set in the not so distant future in New York. The main character Eve Dallas is a tenacious homicide detective with a murky past. The first book in the series “Naked in Death” introduces us to her as she races to find a serial killer going after Licensed Companions or LC’s

Murder in Missoula by Laurence Giliotti Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of the eArc. Joe Nicoletti is looking for a change when he moves to Missoula, while eating at a cafe he sees a stunning woman who looks like his dead wife. He also notices a creepy guy stalking her. Later on another chance encounter with Marie-Justine leads him to believe things are turning for the better. However, when he finds himself being brought in for questioning for her murder, he is drawn into figuring out who her killer is and catching him before he kills again. Murder in Missoula is a little different than some thrillers or mystery's because we know who the killer is literally from the very beginning. This means we get to see through the killer's eyes and know what he is thinking and why he is doing what he is doing, and we know who he is going after. As I am sure you all know that I like dark and seriously messed up thrillers. I like the kind that would give me nightmares if I had a

Defender by Graham McNamee Thank you to NetGalley for providing me a copy of the eArc in exchange for a fair review... This is one of the books I freely admit I didn't know too much about, people weren't talking I wasn't seeing it all over the other bloggers blogs, or tweets. But it seemed interesting when I looked at the synopsis..                  They call her Tiny, but Tyne Greer is six foot six, a high school basketball star who is hoping the game will be her ticket out of the slum. She lives in a run-down building called The Zoo, where her father is the superintendent. One day she discovers a crack in the wall of an abandoned basement room. And sealed up in the wall is a girl’s body. Horrified, she runs to get her dad. But after he goes to take a look, he comes back and tells Tyne that nothing’s there. No girl. No body. He tells her she must be seeing things in the dark. Tyne is sure it was real, though, and when she finds evidence that the body was mo

It's new author Thursday and this week we're bringing you the book HAZE by Brandon J. Barnard. Haze is the story that I would have written if I was going to write a gender bending story about my younger sister...or maybe it just made me think of her so much that I feel like this story was written about her. It happens!  Here's the premise of the story Jack Decker is an art school dropout who has to face his repressed memories in a post-apocalyptic London. During a regular workday he sees a girl wanting to stuff her face with doughnuts from across the room and that event starts the whole book. I'm giving this book 5 stars and here's why. The setting of the story takes place in the future 2071 the environmental pollution has reached astronomical limits and no one can go outside or breath the air without a gas mask and goggles on. (FYI my younger sister would look so kick ass in goggles, like steampunk awesomeness). The London apocalyptic setting is subtl
