Pegasus Down by Philip Donlay (Donovan Nash Thrillers#6)

Description

A CIA-operated jet on a clandestine mission disappears in Eastern Europe. No mayday, no wreckage, and no known survivors. No way to know if the top-secret extraction of a key American scientist from Slovakia, or his liberator, Dr. Lauren McKenna, code name Pegasus, are dead or alive.

Donovan Nash’s precarious world is rocked when word reaches him that his wife, Lauren, is missing in Eastern Europe. Using his millions, and fueled by the fear of losing his wife, Donovan and company cut a swath through Austria and Hungary. Desperate, Donovan leverages his lifelong secret to enlist an unlikely ally—one of his oldest friends—who may very well want him dead. As Donovan closes in on the truth, another, and more deadly, reality is revealed. A ruthless terrorist group has acquired a stealth aircraft with the ability to deliver a nuclear device. They are poised to strike—but where? What started as a rescue turns into a full-throttle aerial chase. Will Donovan be able to rescue his wife, as well as prevent a nuclear catastrophe?

My review:Pegasus Down by Philip Donlay (Donovan Nash Thrillers#6)

4 STARS

 This is my first Donovan Nash thriller that I have read but it won't be the last.  I liked it so much I have already bought the first of the series.  It is a nail biter till the end.  Lots of drama, mystery, action and strong characters made it a book I hated to put down.

Donovan Nash has a big secret that only a few people know.  As a new reader I did not know what secrets he hid for awhile.  He is married and has one little girl that he loves.  He has some really good friends and co-workers. He works with Eco-Watch

Dr. Lauren McKenna  is on a job for the CIA when the plane she is on crashes into water.  She is able to get out of the plane and get her old friend out to.  Lauren has no idea where she is and if anyone will find her.  She is smart, talented, and a strong female character.  She does not know if she will ever see her husband and daughter again. Lauren actually works for DIA.

Dr. Daniel Pope and Lauren knew each other at MIT years ago.  He went to CIA and asked for help and he wanted Lauren to bring him in.  He was kidnapped and forced to work on secret stealth plane for someone who had a nuclear device.

Someone wants to stop Lauren and Daniel.  There are different groups trying to find them.  The US goverment is not going to help.  Donovan is determined that he will find his wife and bring her back at no matter the cost.  Even is he has to reveal his secrets to the world.

I liked that there were a few strong female characters in this book.  There is a lot of violence and chases, explosions as everyone races to catch Lauren if she still alive.  This is a well told story.

The setting is all over.  Most of the chases is in the Soviet Union countries.

I was given this ebook to read by NetGalley and Oceanview Publishing.  In return I agreed to give a honest review of Pegasus Down.

My review Private Bodyguard  by Tyler Anne Snell

4 stars

Lots of mystery, suspense, action, humor and romance.  The characters are ones I would like to see again.  I really like Orion business.

Darling Smith is a P.I..  She was arrested by her ex-boyfriend and before she is out of jail another ex shows up.  Darling is smart, does not give up and looks harmless.

Oliver Quinn's  works for Orion Security.  He is a leader of a three man team that has come to protect Millionair when he comes to town.  He hears that someone was arrested on the property that day and goes to jail.  He finds his ex Darling in jail.

Darling finds a body at a motel right after getting out of jail.  Oliver's client was last seen there with the victim.

Darling is being watched.  She keeps getting information and warnings.  Both her ex's want her kept safe.
I like the banter between the characters.
It is set in a small town in Maine in winter.

I would read more books in Orion security series.

My review: The Perfectly Proper Paranormal Museum by Kirsten Weiss

4 STARS

I thought it was a good new cozy series.  I would like to read more about the museum and the characters.    It was full of drama, plenty of suspects, murder and interesting facts from the museum.
It is also a clean read.

Maddie Kosloski moved back to her hometown after she was fired.  She lives above her Aunt's garage cheaply.  Her friend Adele Nakamoto tries to convince her to run the museum.  She is remodeling the other half of the building into a tea room.  They go to take a look at it late that night and find a dead body Christy.

Maddie agrees to take care of the museum for right now for Adele. Especially when the cops think they have something to do with the murder.  Adele does have motive and it is her building.  One of the cops bullied Maddie during high school.

Adele was given the building as a engagement gift from her father.  She does not want to run the museum but does not want to close it.  Her fiance Michael was caught having sex in the backseat of a car with Christy Huntington.

I like how Maddie keeps getting drawn into a murder generations ago.  Would have liked to see more of that closing of the case more in detail.

Maddie has no love life but she does meet a few guys and flirts with. She is having a hard time finding a job and keeps coming up for ways to improve the museum.  Something keeps happening at the Paranormal Museum.

I did not want to put the book down till I had finished reading it.

This is the first book I have read by Kirsten Weiss but I don't think it will be the last one of hers that I will read.

I rated this five stars because it has a good balance of humor, mystery. suspense and romance.  I stayed up late to read because I wanted more and did not want the book to be over.  I have already ordered the novella and look forward to reading more books in the series.

Web of Shadow by Susan Sleeman (Agents Under Fire #2)

Description

A killer is lurking in the shadows...

FBI agent Nina Brandt loves her job. Sure, she’s made some enemies, but she knows she’s making the world a better place. It’s lonely at times, but she has good friends to get her through. It’s a good life.

Little does she guess that her past is about to come back and haunt her...in more ways than one.

When Navy SEAL Quinn Stone learns that his geeky younger brother, Ty, hacked into the TSA’s No Fly List, he would rather take a bullet than go to his former fiancée, Nina Brandt, for help. Five years ago, she resented his commitment to his SEAL team and gave him an ultimatum—her or the team. He chose the team. But now, he and his brother have no other choice...not if he doesn’t want to see the kid behind bars.

Nina has finally moved on, but she can’t resist Ty’s plea for help...especially when he drops a bomb that could rock national security. The laptop he’d used to hack the TSA has been stolen. Fearing terrorists would do just about anything to get their hands on this list, Nina agrees to take the case to her team. After all, this will become an FBI matter and Quinn’s help won’t be needed...as much as she’s starting to want it.

But the thief has more on his mind than just the list. He’s been waiting for a chance to get back at the woman who sent him to prison two years ago. And he intends to make her pay—in the most painful way possible...

My review: Web of Shadow by Susan Sleeman (Agents Under Fire #2)

4 STARS

 Web of Shadows is the second book in the Agents Under Fire series.  It is full of drama, suspense, action , with strong female characters. It does have some violence in it but a clean read.

Nina Brandt works with two other female FBI Agents.  They are good friends and support each other.  Nina ex-boyfriend is Navy SEAL Quinn Stone.  They broke up a year ago when he chose to stay a Seal.

Now Quinn finds his younger brother in big trouble and has to go ask Nina for help. Ty has hacked into the Do Not Fly list and has detail list of how he did it on his computer that was then stolen.

Nina is willing to help Ty all she can while keeping the country as safe as she can.  Both Quinn and Nina are determined to keep their vows to the Country.

Ex-con has found the computer with the hack.  He plans to sell the list and he leaves a trail that has Nina look like the guilty party and she is a traitor.

I liked Quinn and how he wants to protect his younger brother and Nina too.  Quinn comes to understand himself better.  Nina also grows and is determined to change too.

I did not want to put the book down.  I can't wait to see what happens next in the third book.

Rookie K-9 Unit: These lawmen solve the toughest cases with the help of their brave canine partners.

My review: Protect and Serve by Terri Reed (Rookie K-9 Unit #1)

4 Stars

Protect and Serve is the first book in a new series.  The series follow new K-9 officers.  The head of the K-9 training center is killed. Another trainer is being stalked and attacked by her twin brother.  Their is another murder and two other past rookies death ruled a accident.  They are assigned to help look into these deaths and accidents.

Gina Perry comes home and finds her twin has found her and still wants her dead.  Gina is a trainer of the dogs and helps train dogs and police officers to become K-9.  She is single.

Gina runs for her life to the K-9 center for help and finds her boss dead.

Shane West and his German shepherd Bella are out walking when Bella hears something and runs to the K-9 center.  Shane finds Veronica dead body and Gina hiding.

There is a lot going on in this book. Action, romance, murder and suspense.  It is a clean read.  Does mention prayer and sometimes we don't think we get answers when we are told no or not yet. It fits into the story very well.

I like that Shane has some weakness that he overcomes.  I find that he is without his gun a lot while he is supposed to be protecting Gina.

I want to read the other books in the series and see who is behind the different crimes.

The setting is a small town of Desert Valley close by Flagstaff, Arizona.

Beauty and the Clockwork Beast by Nancy Campbell Allen

Description

Just like in the classic Beauty and the Beast, this Steampunk Romance features an unlikely love story.

The Lord of Blackwell Manor, Miles, is plagued by a family curse that changes him into a shape-shifting wolf every month during the full moon. Lucy-a smart, attractive, and well-respected botanist-travels to Blackwell Manor to take care of her sick cousin, Kate, who is married to Miles's younger brother. For Lucy, the trip is a welcomed respite from her work and recent discovery-a breakthrough serum that could eliminate the scourge of vampires from London.

However, Lucy finds more than she bargained for when she arrives at the Manor. Miles, who is brash and inhospitable, does not take kindly to visitors. He is still unsettled by the mysterious death of his newlywed wife. And then there's Marie, Miles's sister, who was attacked and murdered just weeks earlier. Miles is horrified to think that he might be to blame for the deaths.

And who is the ghost that haunt the halls? Lucy is convinced that the death of Miles's wife and sister-as well as her cousin's mysterious illness-are tied together, but how?

Lady Charlesworth has her eye on inheriting Blackwell Manor for her family. Could her daughter, Candice, or her son, Arthur, have had a hand in the mysterious deaths? The clues make a vampire suspect highly likely.

During her investigation, Lucy finds herself caring deeply for Miles, but he fights to keep his distance in order to protect Lucy from his family's secret. And, yet, he feels attracted toward the woman who is able to look past the fearsome-looking scar that has marred his handsome face.

With no other option, Miles and Lucy must work together if they are to find the answer to the mysteries at the Manor. But that's not all Lucy wants to solve. There's a deeper mystery behind Miles. Can she solve that, too? Ultimately, she must decide if she can love the man, beast and all.

Also includes a 15-page bonus prequel novelette, “Marie's Story.” Marie Blake is Miles's younger sister, and her untimely death begins the story ofBeauty and the Clockwork Beast. Set on the eve of her murder—and told in the first-person from her point-of-view—readers will get to her know her as a person, and not just as the ghost who haunts the halls of Blackwell Manor. The story provides greater depth and more personal details to one of most memorable characters in the novel.

My review:  Beauty and the Clockwork Beast by Nancy Campbell Allen

5 STARS

This classic telling has romance beyond looks, courage to chase ghosts, vampires and werewolves.  Someone is haunting the Manor, blackmailing the beast, there has been two murders in the family this year and now someone is making Kate ill.

I love the Beauty character.  She is strong willed, courage, caring and hard working. Lucy looks beyond a pretty or beastly face and sees the person inside. Lucy comes to see if she can help her cousin Kate.  Who is sick, scared and a newly wed.

The beast is the Duke of Blackwell Manor.  Miles has secrets and a temper.  Everyone keeps looking at his scar on his face.  His bride of one month died and his sister the next day. Miles goes to his hunting lodge every month by himself for a few days.

I enjoyed reading Beauty and the Clockwork Beast.  Hated to put the book down.  You never knew what would happen next.

The setting for the book is Steampunk England.  It makes for a different world that I would like to see more of.

My review: Wickedly Ever After by Deborah Blake (Baba Yaga #2.5)

4 STARS

This is only a novella of 66 pages. It does really good job of telling the story.  I have never read any of the Baba Yaga series and picked up on the story easy.  Sometime I would love to read the whole series.

It is fantasy, with witches, dragons, fairy queen,and other creatures. There is plenty of drama, romance and characters you want to see again and again.  It is also a clean read.

Baba Yaga and her husband get three impossible tasks to complete in two weeks or they can't be married by the Fairy Queen.

It does make you think of the little lies we tell all the time to not hurt someone's feelings.

I look forward to reading more by Deborah Blake in the future.

My review: Hawaii Five Uh-Oh! by Jill Marie Landis  (The Tiki Goddess Mystery Series#5)

4 STARS

Em  and the Hula Maidens are back with mystery, laughter, &  fun characters.  I was excited to see a new Tiki Goddess mystery out. Very entertaining.

Kiki has spent the last six weeks in a hospital for the trauma of being attacked by a monkey who pulled out some of her hair.  She is scared and not herself.

The Hula Maidens are not the same without Kiki leading them.  Most of the ladies are over 60 and love to dance the Hula.  They are not natives either.  They are a riot and accident prone.  They perform at the Tiki Goddess bar.

Em has taken over managing the Tiki Goddess from her Uncle Louie who still makes up special drinks.  She is dating Rolland the detective/ fire dancer.  They also cater parties.

While everyone is working the party for a new neighbor is robbed of two famous paintings worth 30 million dollars.  A security guard is killed.  Kiki thinks if they solve the art theft crime she will get her mojo back.

Kauai, Hawaii is the setting for Hawaii five Uh-Oh!

This is a clean read.  Lots of drinking and recipes for some special drinks in the back of the book.

I like this series, it is fun, good mystery and characters that you want to see again and again.

Lots of mystery.  A couple of the mysteries carry over for the series. It does a good job making me want to find out just who is the killer. Where is Josie? and where is Ethan's mother buried.

This is one series that you will want to read in order so the mystery stays a mystery till revealed.

After receiving a midnight phone call, professional organizer Tina Shaw rushes to her best friend’s ancestral home to determine if Leslie really saw a ghost. Tina doesn’t see one in the cluttered Newport, Rhode Island, Victorian attic, but does hear strange noises. While she tries to reassure Leslie, they’re drawn outside when police and firefighters arrive. A murdered man has been found in Leslie’s side yard.

The secrets behind Joshua Young’s murder are bigger than Tina ever imagined. Can the murderer be stopped before killing again?

4 STARS

Tina is a good friend.  Leslie called Tina after midnight and asked her to come.  She heard and thought she saw a ghost.  Tina Shaw goes over to help Leslie figure it out.  She hears strange noises in attic too.

Lots of mysteries.  Is it a ghost and if so who is it? The murder next door is that part of what is going on at Leslie's?  There is a lot going on in the book.  It is fast paced.

Tina Shaw is a organizer.  Leslie had just inherited a big old house.  The attic is so full of clutter that Tina is going to help her organize it.  Tina used to date Leslie's older brother Brandon.  Now she is dating Hank. 

The four of them are trying to decide what is going on at Leslie's house.

There is a lot of secrets in this story.  I like secrets about the houses but would have problems with the person I was involved in and not knowing what he does.

This is set in Newport, Rhode Island

I liked it so much I went and bought the first book in the series.

3 Stars

Another Fortune this time it is Charles Fortune Chesterfield from England and he finds that he has a baby son from a one night stand a year ago.  I like Charles and how he takes to fatherhood right off.

Alice Meyers decides too inform Charles about Finn when she knows he is back in town.  She does not want anything from him and is surprised when he wants to be a father.

I love the scene when Charles goes to tell her how he feels.  It is funny and serious. It works too.

The setting is Austin, Texas modern times.

You do see some old familiar characters from previous books. I would have liked more of the family scenes.

There is a few love scenes but easy to skim over if wanted.

Fortune's Special Delivery is cute and a fast entertaining read.  I will look forward to reading more from Michelle Major.
