Episode 6: Conversations over Milk & Cookies - Bruce A. Borders

Welcome to Episode 6 of  Conversations over Milk & Cookies  hosted by Kindle Ninja. What is this madness, you ask?  It's my way of supporting authors and writers from the  RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB . For the entire month of April, I will be featuring the fine women and men that make up the Board of RRBC.  We interact with them everyday, directly through tweets, or indirectly through re-tweets, but we don't really know much about them. Their personalities really don't shine through in tweets and re-tweets. In Episode 1,   We see the silly side of  RRBC Secretary MARLENA HAND   ( @mlh42812 ).   In Episode 2,   RRBC Spotlight and Incentives Coordinator  TERI GARRINGER  ( @TeriGarringer ) bares her funny side in 26 Questions. In Episode 3 ,   RRBC Membership Director  KATHRYN TREAT  ( @KathrynCTreat )   lets her hair down and plays the game of 24 Questions. In Episode 4 ,  RRBC Hospitality Director  LEISL KABERRY  ( @Lawfabex ) takes a

Welcome to Episode 23 of  Conversations over Milk & Cookies  hosted by Kindle Ninja. What is this madness, you ask? It's my way of supporting indie authors (some of them are members of the RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB). We interact with them everyday, directly through tweets, or indirectly through re-tweets, but we don't really know much about them. Their personalities really don't shine through in 140 characters. All the EPISODES of  Conversations over Milk & Cookies  can be found  HERE .  Or you can just look to your right and you'll find the  Quick Links . In this episode, we feature STEVIE TURNER , author of ' The  Porn Detective ', ' The Pilates Class ', and ' A House of Windows ' (among others). Let's get to know Stevie in more than 140 characters, shall we? ** Green Tea and Lemon Cake were served in this episode because Stevie is allergic to milk and cookies.

Names of the Dead: A Pedal To The Metal Thriller

By ChaoticNinja

From the moment the first chapter of “ Names of the Dead ” ended, I knew Connor Montrose was going to be one hell of a character. Defiant, head-strong, and driven by vengeance. He’s an exceptionally written character with the swagger of a CIA operative and the fighting chops of a killing machine. From there, it’s hard to tell if he’s the good guy. The narrative style is frantic and restless, but never confusing. This is magnified by the reader’s access to Montrose’s state of mind. The inner dialogues not only make us privy to Montrose’s innermost thoughts, they also make us feel that we’re part of this intricate web of lies and deceit. It’s as immersive as playing a first person shooter – pumping bullets, maiming enemies, and leaving a trail of dead bodies as location shifts from Rome to Zurich to Paris to Tehran. Add the involvement of abbreviated agencies in double cross and conspiracies, then you have a sensational international thriller in your hand. Author Mark Le

10 Reasons Why You Should Read “The Girl Who Walked in the Shadows"

By ChaoticNinja

Third book in the series. Tough to review but e arly reviewers have already raved about it here , here , here , and here .  Not that you need more convincing, but instead of a review, I'm giving you my Top 10 reasons why you should read "The Girl Who Walked in the Shadows " by Marnie Riches . 1.    Confident writing. So confident it can be brutal. You know, the in-your-face kind of brutal that leaves a black eye in the morning. Get some ice. 2.    Bursting at the seams with fascinating and flawed characters:  from the morally ambiguous to the sordidly immoral to the sexually fluid to the emotionally crippled. (The author could be talking about my family, but I digress.) 3.    Unrelenting suspense. So tense that you might find your heart fibrillating. Okay, that may be a tad too much, but it can happen, yes? 4.    Reading it is like assembling the most difficult jigsaw puzzle while playing “Where’s Wally”. (And since this is an international crim

REVIEW: DEAD EYED - Wicked Dark

By ChaoticNinja
Image
DEAD EYED by Matt Brolly A serial killer from the past appears to have resurfaced after an 18-year hiatus. Such premise presents questions upon questions that even DCI Michael Lambert could not answer. If this guy was a weapon, he’d be a standard issue. Nothing special; just your ordinary detective chief inspector preoccupied by painful memories of his daughter’s death. And trying desperately to keep it together. But when the case unravels bit by bit, so does Lambert. And this is where the story pulls you in. In oculis animus habitat . The trademark engraving that the “Souljacker” leaves on the victims’ chests tells of a gruesome yet skilful killing. It’s so horrific, it’s not human. This is a cleverly plotted crime thriller with storytelling flair that makes you feel a bit of involvement in the investigation. Did the Souljacker re-emerge or there’s a copycat on the loose?  Will the real Souljacker please stand up? It triggers speculations and guesses, bu
