"Cordite", by Ty Patterson

Cutter Grogan Thrillers book # 6

Another over the top thriller penned by Mr. Patterson, in this latest his protagonist (Cutter Grogan) is sent to San Diego to look into Aleja Guttierrez death supposedly by natural cause but her mother doesn’t believe this to be the case and needed Cutter to investigate. Soon after looking into the case, Cutter finds himself in a turf war with a Russian bratva, in a city where the sheriff wants him out of town and to top it all tugs have a bone to pick with him from....everyone is out to get him.

Action over, action under, action left and right it never stops. One thing for sure no lack of it, Cutter doesn’t have a moment of rest. He is the person with a target on his back and the author really sets his plot one gunfight after the other. I agree with some reviewers: reminiscence of the Wild West...lol. Lending him a hand are Zeb Carter and his team of Merry men and women, those of us that have been following the Zeb Carter series knows that when this group is involved no one is at peace. Apart from giving us a thrill ride, the plot has a fixer(Cutter) meeting a grieving mother, an arrogant self-indulgent fighter pilot, a Senator, a family of billionaires and along the way he manages to get himself in a lot of trouble and getting out unscathed to live another day.

If you like an unbelievable story but one that is quite entertaining give Cutter and his many adventures a try. In a few words: “Cordite” is writing to give us an exciting and enjoyable read.

A Bridget Bishop FBI Thriller Book #4

Will she come face to face with the remorseless killer and will she unravel the truth behind the murders? “Road to Evil” will leave us intrigued from start to finish.

Although this book may be the fourth, it stands well by itself. The story is fresh even if all the books centers on serial killers.

This is another winner for Ms. Woodhall. She once again penned an exciting and very captivating story that moves along clear- free never bogs down with unnecessary side bars. The plot stays focus on the tasks Bridget set forth and never wavers. Along the way much excitement awaits us and guessing who may be the real Backroads Butcher is the fun that awaits us. Bridget is a solid character that is helped to achieve her goal by a cast of secondary players who are also well defined, even the evil ones. This book is a real page turner.

I received a free copy of this book and I leave a voluntary review, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

"Never Say Die", by John W. Mefford

Jack Whitfield Thrillers Book # 2

The mission is clear:

From Lyon to Cairo and back again, Jack Whitfield exposes a conspiracy that could topple a government and ignite a new war in the Mideast.

My thoughts:

This latest did not disappoint this long-time fan, “Never Say Die” provides all the elements needed to make an exciting read hard to put aside. Filled with action, suspense and a mystery so tense, quite a nail biting experience we are into from start to finish. I like Jack Whitfield, he is a well penned character hard to not root for. He is a man coerced to do missions he really doesn’t want to do and is at the mercy of Simon who dictates what mission he needs to accomplish in order to get his daughter back. Simon sends him on wild adventures, in book #2 his second he must accomplish to achieve his goal...will he succeed?....But behind all this... the action of the enigmatic organization Jack works for could very well end his life at any time.....Yes, lots of mayhem to entertain us. What a dazzling ride of espionage and international intrigue filled with breakneck twists we are in for.

Mr. Mefford alludes quite a bit to what had transpired in book #1“Never Go Back”, nevertheless I highly suggest reading it first. It is as exciting as book#2.

Another winner John what a great adventure you gave us.
