Main Character Danny Simon takes center stage in this epic all out adventure ride that will have you clinging to the edge of your seat.

I purchased the “The Rainy Day Man” the other night and got through it the same day. It was gripping and filled with nonstop action the likes of which I have only seen in Daniel Silva novels. In short this is a story of an Israeli secret agent that’s main duty is to collect data. Seems easy enough but the journey is far from that as he is thirsted into a world of danger and espionage. There is no one he can trust and he is forced to come to grips with his own self in the process.

The ending made me grin, smile, and gasp for air in a memorable fashion that left me wanting more from Author Amnon Jackont. Simply brilliant and unique is a sweeping fashion.

5 Stars!

A multi-dimensional series fit to last the test of time.

Spades is book two of an amazing series that stands in a class all on its own. Author Kristy Evans does a fantastic job in this second book in the series that has managed to captivate my mind, heart and imagination in a sweeping fashion. From the very start of the book you will be engulfed in amazing fashion by way of vivid descriptiveness that can only be pulled off by a great Author. 

The storyline and plot theme are original and the main character Calise Thomas is developed in a superb fashion with depth and feeling. At times I found myself rooting for Calise while as others I found myself wondering what she was going to do next. The writing style is gripping and this is one of those books that will keep you glued to your reading device all throughout the night. No spoiler but the end is simply unpredictable and will make you want to go out and purchase the next book in the series. That is the next thing I am going to do as soon as I finish up with this review.

In short this is a well-written book in an astonishing series that flows perfectly. I have become a fan and highly recommend.

London takes center stage in this amazing story of classical proportion!

This novel has it all: Real Life Correlations, Action, Humor, Violence, Sex, Marriage and a whole lot more. Everything comes together in an all battle the combines on an epic scale to capture the mind and imagination. While this is a work of fiction, the author’s descriptiveness engulfed my curiosity more oft then not. I sometimes even found myself wondering if the Pumphouse Gang actually existed.

Pealing back the layers of this astounding book you find the deeper meaning Author Allen Jarvis is trying to convey. In short this is a story of how people fight to make a difference and change in their lives.

Definitely an amazing book you don’t want to miss. This novel is an epic read that will surly last the test of time. The storyline and plot are original, the story is fast paced, well-written and easy to read and I believe will be enthralling to all who pick it up.

5 Stars and can not wait to see what Author Allen Jarvis comes up with next.

Drowning Mermaids is simply amazing.

This novel has it all: Action, Adventure, Romance, Fantasy and even Humor.

I am huge a Fantasy buff and as such the world that Author Nadia Scrieva created captivated my senses and imagination. In many ways I found this book to be a cross between “The Deadliest Catch” and the “Little Mermaid.” It has the makings of a movie that I envisioned in my head as the pages turned effortlessly.

The main characters Trevain, Aazuria, and Callder are original, they are developed exceptionally well and their personalities are easy to relate with. The storyline is grand and epic and the plot and over all themes will keep you on edge the whole time. I was sad to see it come to an end and can not wait to read more

It took me two-nights to read this story to completion. After reading, I recommended it to everyone in my family. They too have found it to be an amazing novel of classic proportion.

What else can be said? I am addicted to Drowning Mermaids, and I highly recommend it to everyone. 5 Stars and wish there were more stars to pass out.

First time author debut in an epic and sweeping fashion!

This book in my opinion is well written and highly addictive in nature. The storyline and plot kept me engaged the entire time engulfing my imagination and senses in memorizing fashion.

In short this book focuses on main character, Ray Ryan who is a young English boy that longs to become a writer. Things don’t work out as planned no thanks to a number of circumstances primarily being his friend who changes his destiny in a shocking and appalling manner. Along his journey he faces and deals with those tribulations in unique ways that makes his character stand out from the rest.

At times I found it a little complex to follow but then best sellers are not straightforward. It was friendly and engaged me in ways that found myself relating to the main character. I was sad when it came to an end and left me wanting more.  Overall it is definitely an original tale of fantastic quality that has earned 5 stars in my book.

As a once Florida Native and a history buff I have always wanted to plan a road trip to St. Augustine with the family. I am planning on going back to Florida in May and St. Augustine will be one of the stops we have on the itinerary. Time is always limited these days with children and so on, as such I thought it might be best to look for an audio book the could I could listen too before visiting this magical place. I stumbled across the “History of St. Augustine Florida: Whimsically Illustrated History of North America's Oldest City,” by Author Jesse W. Love, and thought it would be a great way to learn more about this amazing historic destination.

The Audio Book was narrated beautifully, it was informative and well thought out as well as written. Total length is appx. 38 minutes and is filled with grand descriptiveness that took me on a historic adventure ride where I had the privilege of meeting fascinating characters the likes of which include: St. Augustine including Spaniards, French, English, Native Americans as well as many others.

Author Jesse W. Love has deffiniatly painted a vivid picture of what I consider to be the highlight of our trip. I am already imagining myself walking down the Spanish fort the Castillo San Marcos, that dates back to the 1600’s and retracing one of the oldest historical towns in America.

I cant wait for the trip to start and am so grateful for having the opportunity to listen to this fantasic desctiptive book that will help anyone who is interested in learning more about St. Augustine or like me, planning a trip.

Astounding job with this audio book. 5 Stars!
