One Perfect Shot by Steven F Havil

4 STARS

One perfect shot was a good book, but had trouble to get into at first. The last few books I have read have been great so that did effect how I judged this book. It was one where I could read some and then go to something else and come back to it.
Larry was shot in his grader a hard shot that instantly killed him. Bill the under sheriff is the main cop who works the case. Bill is also training a new cop Estelle Reyes, she will be their first female cop on patrol.
Thier was a lot of talk about riffles,bullets that was necessary to story but I could not keep that straight in my mind.
It shows how piece by piece they try to put the pieces together to figure what happen, how it happened, why someone shot Larry. It was good to see so much of that in the book.
Their was a lot of facts but not much to Estelle interaction that I wanted to know more about and from her. Also wanted to know about the art she thought was stolen, maybe thats for another book.

I just found out this was book 9 in a series I would like to read the other 8 books that follow in timeline book 9.

Night Walker by Lisa Kessler

4 STARS

A little different take as most vampire books lately. I liked it, but I would rather have a more heroic lead.
Calisto used to be a spanish priest that came over to teach the natives and change thier ways. He fell in love with Tala a native and she was pregnant with his child. He confessed his sins to another Priest and told him he wanted to leave the priesthood and marry her. Tala was killed that same day and he was filled with wanting revenge. Calisto was made a night walker and told she would live again.
Kate was back home after catching her fiance with a student. So she took a leave of absent to take care of her parents house and other request they had made in thier will. Kate ran into for the second time Calisto who was a rich guy who had a charity that her mom left her piano and music with. Calisto was trying to take it slow with Kate.
The Priests that he used to belong too knew what he was and every so often tried to kill him. They did not want him to make Kate a night walker. They would rather see her dead.
One Priest wanted to be made a night walker and thought he could blackmail to get his way.
the last chapter made me wonder what will happen next and who is trying to control whom. Now I will have to wait till next book.

Review: Twilight Fulfilled by Maggie Shayne

4 STARS

I really enjoy Maggie Shayne series twilight. I think I have read all of them. The last two are of Children of Twilight. The only child to be born of vampire was Amber lee and she had twins J.W. (James) and Brigit. Who were born with special powers. J.w. right after birth healed Brigit who was born not breathing. Brigit has power to destroy shoots a lazer from her eyes. She is known as the bad twin.
James had raised up from ashes the imortale Utana who was trapped for 5000 years, thinking he was the one to save the vampires from being wiped out. Utana actually thought he was supposed to kill all of his children the vampire because he was not supposed to share his power.
Utana stole James power to heal. He also killed many vampires. At same time it was made known about the vampire race and a lot of vampires houses and some humans were burned and died.
Brigit knew that her power was the only one that could stop Utana and she battled him till they both could not fight any more that night. Utana was wounded but stole her power. Brigit was drawn to know more about Utana and was attracted to him.
Nashmum was head of the goverment agency that has been for years killing and torchering the vampires and expermenting on them which is how Amber Lee was born. He was tricking Utana and wanted to help him kill all the vampires and the chosen people his agency had rounded up to trap the vampires.
The only problem that I had with the story is Utana was supposed to be the flood survior who took his family and animals on a boat. I was a little touchy about that.Decided to not think he was Noah just someone made up from that time frame.
I enjoyed the story and wonder if Maggie has finshed this series or where would it take them next book.

I enjoyed the romantic comedy of Lucky Girl by Cate Lord.

Jess is a writer of a beauty magazine in Florida, she is 29 and single. Her fiance 4 months ago broke up with her after he cheated on her. She is going to a cousin's wedding in England to be a maid of honor. Jess is determened to have a great time with her cousins.

At the wedding Nick is one of the bridegrooms and in the past at Jess's Grandfather funeral afterwards she was drunk and upset she was throwing up into a plant he saw and comforted her.

Jess is embrassed but flirts with him at the reception even though he is with someone else. Nick flirts back and almost Kissed her did get shaving cream on her. Her other cousins Charlotte & Anna have a good time at the wedding.  All three are single.

Jess keeps running into Nick on her vacation and gets into embrassing situations with him or caught by him. Like jess and her cousins start playing with makeup and they go wild in ways you dont put make up on each other when a knock at the door is Nick and they don't want to answer but he doesn't give up.

Or talking about him and he walks up and hears what she is saying. Or breaks his toilet seat after thinking she caught him and girl friend making out in his room at a party.

It was a good book to relax and enjoy the romance of them falling in love. Also good to see cousins having great time together.

Review: Book 1 Gamadin: Word of Honor

5 stars loved it.
I liked this book a lot. It has adventure,heros, aliens. It makes more sense now that I have read the first and fourth book. Fourth was good on its own but it would make a lot more sense right off.
It starts on a old ruin of planet. Archelogists have discovered that thier really was a gamadin not just a fable. They are attacked and the people rescuing them only 1 got away Sook with a map to where the Gamadin ship has been for thousands of years. Right off you can see how the good guys are willing to die to protect others. Then you also see how people can kill for power and money.
Sook landed in Rosewell and a drunk minor helps to rescue Sook. Thier are 4 teenagers who are going to see if they can help to the landing  the one has first aid experience. Our Miltary just shoots anyone.
Then you see the conquors of space know that gamadin are hiding its ship on Earth and they dont want to stop expanding and taking over planets and they know if the Gamadin rise again they could stop them.
Its a wild ride through showing how the teenagers meet up with Sook. How they had to keep promises and try and get the ship off Earth to save our planet the aliens followed and left Earth. I would recommend reading the series. I am going to buy the next ones

review; Too far under by lynn Osterkemp

I thought it was a well thought at book that I enjoyed. It was a different heroine and clinet. I like Cleo she is a grief councler teachs a class, and helps people connect with dead people in a different way. Everyone is giving advice to Cleo to leave Lacy and her family alone for her benifet, but she does what she feels right not necessarly the best for herself.
Lacy is a college student who wants Cleo to help her and her sister find out who killed thier mom. Anglea wants to be the one but she is only 10 and Cleo cant  treat a minor.
