Review: The Snowden Avalanche by Derek Swannson

The Snowden AvalancheThe Snowden Avalanche by Derek Swannson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Because it was written by Derek Swannson. I have long been a fan of Mr. Swannson's work. I have read his entire Crash Gordon series, Crash Gordon and the Mysteries of Kingsburg (Volume 1),Crash Gordon and the Revelations from Big Sur, and Nitt-Witt Ridge: A Big Sur Freak Fable. All were fantastical adventures that delighted me in their ability to swirl together the best of Robert Anton Wilson, Tom Robbins, and Douglas Adams and yet be so strikingly original. This time Swannson has taken inspiration from the Snowden debacle and create an alternate reality where the wall street elite are dying in all kinds of mysterious ways and are desperate to have their evil deeds spun into PR gold by paying insane amounts of money to iAestheticians like Sabina Hrafnsson, the stories protagonist. As usual, I found myself laughing out loud in public places causing people to look at me in more concerned ways than usual. Please read this book, you will never look at iguana floggings in the same way again.

Review: Death's Angel: A Detective Al Warner Mystery by George Bernstein

Death's Angel (Detective Al Warner, #1)Death's Angel by George Bernstein

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


After reading Death's Angel, it is easy to see why George Bernstein is a top selling writer on Amazon. The story is ripe with suspense and action. All of the characters are excellently developed and bring the story to life with dialogue that feels natural and never forced. Death's Angel breaks out of the formulaic police procedural/serial killer genre and excels above its peers. Al Warner could easily be the next Alex Cross.

Review: Progeny Of A Killer by J M Shorney

Progeny of a KillerProgeny of a Killer by J M Shorney

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I really like a book that keeps you guessing the whole way through. A book that throws in plenty of plot twists and turns in which none turn out to be red herrings. I like a book that engages me personally, makes me feel for the characters and causes me to feel a full range of emotions. I like a book that in turns can make me laugh, make me angry, and most importantly make me feel like like I got what I paid for when i reach the end, This is such a book. I loved it and can't wait to read more by Shorney.
