Hopefully, if I can get myself focused and motivated reviews for book  8 Parting Shot by Linwood Barclay and book 9 Descent by Tim Johnston, will follow shortly. Read More

The Demon Crown is  Book # 13 in the Sigma Force series from James Rollins.

Previously, I read Assassin’s Game and Assassin’s Silence in February and March respectively. All three have been terrific reads. Read More
