Wanting an action packed thriller to read ?


Afraid of the Dark (Jack Swyteck)
Review: Afraid of the Dark - Jack Swyteck Novel - James Grippando - March 2011
Are you looking for a new mystery/ thriller author to read ? Next time, you are looking for an author try James Grippando as previously I hadn't read any of his books and after reading Afraid of the Dark, I really enjoyed his work.  Afraid of the Dark was a fast-paced novel and started off with what seemed like a in-between forbidden romance between McKenna and Jamal , with Chuck informing his best friend Vince to keep an eye on them two and to keep McKenna away from Jamal as he is bad news with a capital B. The first chapters act like a survelliance with Vince tapping McKenna's phone etc and then at the end of Chapter 2 we see McKenna being stabbed . The novel then jumps to 3 years later and in walks Jack Swyteck, he is questioning a young somalian guy for terriosm , what unfolds though is that the guy he is questioning happens to also be Jamal whose wanted for the murder of his friend Chuck's daughter McKenna. We soon read as Jamal was set up by the villian known as "The Dark" and soon what unravels is a huge conspiracy and affairs as to why McKenna was murdered and Jamal framed and we get a shock as Mckenna's mum Shada knows alot more than she is letting on to what happened that dreadful night three years ago, the same night that Vince ended up blinded.
Afraid of the Dark is a fast paced thriller, that all will enjoy and is along the lines of John Sandford, Iris Johansen, Lisa Scottoline and Ken Bruen.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
