Your next limo ride will never be the same again!

Author Bill Ames has crafted an amazing story that is entertaining, fun, exciting and jammed packed with action in a sexy provocative way that left me smiling and wanting more. Think Jason Borne / Jason Statham on overdrive with an original storyline and plot theme.

In short, this is a story about an assassin that dubs as a Limo Driver in Myrtle Beach.  Sex, Parties, Girls and Action are the forefront for this epic story. Having lived close by and visited Myrtle Beach the better part of my life I could only smile with the authors vivid descriptiveness, especially when describing the different landscapes and scenery of sandy Myrtle Beach. Yes the nightlife is pretty crazy sometimes.

What else can be said, other then this is a well-written book that is Captivating, Humorous and Thrilling in a unique memorable manner. I have become a new fan of Author Bill Ames and Limo Bill the Undercover Assassin.

5 Stars.

Book Review: The Rainy Day Man

The Rainy Day Man

Amnon Jackont (Author), Dorothea Shefer-Vanson (Translator)

Book Review

By Michael Beas

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00IWN7X4I/thkibo-20

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!

Book Review

By Michael Beas

An amazing and captivating story of classic proportion!

This is one of those books that you simply will not be able to put down once you get started. I was completely enthralled with this original storyline and plot theme that swept me away to the tiny coastal town of Deep Cove. All of the characters are developed perfectly, my favorite being Garrett Willigins, who was made detective but is still trying to scrape two pennies together to make a living.

Words to describe this book are: Fun, Exciting, Thrilling, Suspenseful, Descriptive, and Captivating in an adventurous way that will leave you wanting more.

An extremely well writing tale that will have you going into work late the next day and leave you wanting more. I was saddened to see it come to and end and can assure you that it will engulf the imagination well after you are done reading.

A lethal web of diabolical characters sets the stage for an all out rush to the end. From the very get go you will be enthralled with twist, and turns that will leave you breathless and have you sleeping with the lights on. Stem Cell Research has never seemed this dangerous.

Author Robert Carlson is the master of trepidation and his books are chilling in an astounding manner. This is a well written story with an original plot theme that surly will last the test of time.

5 Stars and cant wait to read more! Can't wait to go out and purchase the next.

An astounding collection of short stories that will engulf your mind and imagination!

Three words that best describe “The Elder Unearthed: Tales of NasNoroth and the Cult of the Elder” are: Creepy, Dark and Gripping. Author Michael Garza has does a fantastic job in this book. All of the characters are developed smoothly, and in a sweeping fashion that will set that stage for on the edge suspense.

In short this is a collection of twelve pieces in total. Nine of these pieces are stories, with the other three brief poems. All of which are haunting in a memorable way that is well written and original. The best quality that I like about Author Michael Garza is his writing style is his descriptiveness and his use of words. Both are simply brilliant and captivating that enthrall the senses in a picturesque fashion that is not easy to match.

I highly recommend this book to all interested in sleeping with the lights on!

A visually rich story that will engulf the mind and imagination in a mesmerizing fashion fit to last the test of time.

This is definitely a lengthy book that took me all of three days to put down. With that said, it is also a page-turner that will keep you enthralled the entire time. All of the characters are developed lovely and are easy in my opinion to engage and relate to. I like the fact that the secondary characters are mentioned and play a role in the overall plot theme of the story without overpowering the main characters. Most books in this genre allow the secondary characters to take lead and thus cause the book to sound confusing, especially with a book of this size. That was not the case in this book. Author Saurav Dutt does a fantastic job of allowing the story to flow naturally and fitting in a way that is easy to read and understand, not an easy task to accomplish.

The stories deeper message of “what or how far would you go to help someone you love?” This in particular resonated with me personally having lost a father due to brain cancer and the truth is that a person will do almost anything to help / save the person they love. Words to describe this book are: Emotional, Inspirational, Suspenseful and Well- Written in a way that has captivated my heart and mind well after I was done reading.

5 Stars and can’t wait to read more from Author Saurav Dutt.

A gripping thrill ride that will keep your eyes glued to your reading device.

The story starts off with Stephen waking up alongside his wife only to be surprised that they are both bound and gagged. If that is not enough to get your attention try adding the fact that the masked killer is in the room and waiting to do his dirty work. Stephen’s wife is butchered and two policemen begin what would be a long investigation of not just this killing, but many more that begin to occur.

Words that best describe this book are: Thrilling, Mysterious, Suspenseful, Original, Gripping and Captivating in all the right ways.

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.

Book Reviews: Armageddon and the 4th Timeline

Armageddon and the 4th Timeline: A Spiritual Odyssey Through Time & Eternity

By Don Mardak (Author)

Book Review

By Michael Beas

http://www.amazon.com/Armageddon-4th-Timeline-Spiritual-ebook/dp/B00AQ3LU4G/ref=sr_1_1

Time Travel, War and the Supernatural all collide in an astounding fashion that will sweep you away.

From the very get go this story will engage you on an all out thrill ride that will stand the test of time. It might come as a shock to most but this “end of world,” tale does not involve Zombie’s or Aliens from another plant.

That is much a relief in my view!

There’s nothing wrong with Zombie’s or Aliens, it’s just that our Planet Earth needs to find a new way to come to a ghastly end. The good news is that Author Don Mardak has found the way in this epic non-stop action thrill ride that is both original, and simply mind-blowing. It will literally take your breath away and keep your eyes glued to your reading device way into the late night hours.

In short it took me a total of three days to finish “Armageddon and the 4th Timeline: A Spiritual Odyssey Through Time & Eternity.” The characters and storyline develop with skill and class of a season veteran. This is one you don’t want to miss and without a doubt is a Must Buy.

5 Stars and can’t wait to read more.

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!
