Last Night by Kim Deister Genre: Thriller, Suspense

Published on by mariacatalinaeganLeave a comment
What do you do when you keep losing time? 
Night fell quickly, swallowing the last light of day in the blink of an
eye. 
Terrifying visions torment Starra.
Lost moments of time and flashes of images too horrific to accept
fill her with icy fear so complete she can’t escape it. With too
many unanswered questions, she needs answers. NOW. It’s her only
hope if she wants to save what’s left of her shattered mind and soul. 
Unlike Starra, Mina cares nothing for her soul. Damned long ago, she’s too
scarred for redemption. There are people meant to enjoy lives of love and
family and friends. Mina isn’t one of these people. Her life is in
the shadows, unafraid of the dark… until she realizes that
something lurks in those shadows, something that wants to tear her
apart. 
One never knows what the darkness hides… 
Kim Deister was born and raised in a tiny town in the wilds of northern
New York that is less than six hours from the Arctic Circle, a pretty
college town called Potsdam. She grew up in a family of lawyers and
teachers and bucked all the traditions to run off and wear combat
boots in the US Army as a Signals Intelligence Analyst (no jokes!)
and a linguist. She also worked as a tech writer for Corning Glass
Works, which was an entirely different kind of writing.
Living the Army life has allowed Kim to travel all over and much of that has
seeped into her books. She has a love of strong female characters,
tropical places, and flipping traditional themes on end. She loves
that words can take one out of the existing world and let the
unimaginable become imaginable. When she’s not writing, she’s
probably on the beach, with her nose deep in a book.

He’s been living outside the boundaries of his own kind, seeking her for centuries, and when their worlds finally collide, the passion ignited between them is more than either bargained for.

Together, their powers become something entirely new–and entirely dangerous. The sudden surge of elemental magic attracts an ancient evil hell bent on nothing less than the utter destruction of humankind. And they’ve just handed him the key. One by one, the people they love become casualties, and Loti and Wolf are in a desperate race against time to fight an epic battle that could cost them not just their lives, but their very souls.

He surrendered his soul to the Devil. She could be the one to save it. More than a century ago, Christian Harris gave up everything in a last desperate attempt to finally have the revenge that had consumed him. The vampire that turned him promised him wealth, power, and the revenge he most wanted. But Christian found no satisfaction in his final triumph, and he wanted nothing more than to disappear into the depths of darkness and forget everything he hadn’t done right– and everyone he couldn’t save.

 

But when he’s brought before his Master and sent on a mission to seduce Heather Macgregor, he finds himself captive to the untrained red-headed witch who wakes him to buried longings and something he never expected: hope. In her bed he finds passion without boundaries and in her heart, redemption. But Heather also unwittingly provides him with the key to his Master’s obsession, the Light Walker Loti Dupree.

Now a pawn in a dangerous game, Christian must make an impossible choice: save the one who saved his soul and condemn the World to darkness or save the world and forever lose the only love he’s ever known.

Published on by mariacatalinaeganLeave a comment
With the life she
knew all but gone, Riley must decide if she’ll let the road ahead
break her spirit or bolster her drive.
When her sister’s
safety is threatened, Riley discovers just how far she will go to
protect Quinn. No matter the toll – emotionally and physically.
With little faith in returning to the only family she has left, Riley
follows the path that she believes is her only choice. Relying on
others to lead the way, she is forced to face some of her deepest fears.
NOTE: You must have read Darkness Falls in order to understand Anguish Unfolds.
Although I recommend you read Anguish Unfolds before diving into book
2 in the series (Chaos Ensues, coming in 2020), it is not necessary.
Darkness Falls
Nature’s Fury #1
As nature tires of human destruction, two sisters must face a changing
environment that stands between them and survival.
When Quinn and Riley set out on a family vacation with their parents, the
trip ends before it begins. Mother Nature interferes with their
plans, setting off a sequence of events that thrusts the teens into a
hostile landscape.
Stranded, with limited supplies, struggling to figure out who they can trust
along the way, they must determine how to survive nature’s evolving fury.
AE Faulkner is a young adult dystopian author. Her debut novel, Darkness
Falls, is the first book in the Nature’s Fury series, which explores
the Earth’s response to humans poisoning her streams, abusing her
animals and destroying her beauty.
She has a bachelor’s degree in marketing from Millersville University
and a master’s degree in advertising, public relations &
journalism from Temple University.
Although she escaped in books as a child, college textbooks sucked the fun out
of reading. Years later, The Hunger Games trilogy became the spark
that rekindled her love of books. After devouring that series, she
quickly became captivated by dystopian novels.
After several years of reading them, she decided to take a stab at writing
one that combined her love for nature with her fear of human
destruction

XYZ : One Man, two kids, ten devices and an internet-sized generation gap by William Knight Genre: Humorous Fiction

Published on by mariacatalinaeganLeave a comment
From a former Guardian and BBC writer, and author of The
Donated, comes a hilarious story of mid-life crisis, family, technology,
and coping with the modern workplace.
Jack Cooper is a depressed, analogue throwback; a cynical, alcoholic
Gen-Xer whose glory days are behind him. He’s unemployed, his
marriage has broken down, he’s addicted to internet hook-ups, and
is deeply ashamed of his son Geronimo, who lives life dressed as a bear.
When Jack’s daughter engineers a job for him at totally-lit tech firm
Sweet, he’s confronted by a Millennial and Zoomer culture he can’t
relate to. He loathes every detail – every IM, gif and emoji –
apart from Freya, twenty years his junior and addicted to
broadcasting her life on social media.
Can Jack evolve to fit in at Sweet, or will he remain a dinosaur stuck in
the 1980s? And will he halt his slide into loneliness and repair his
family relationships?
XYZ is for every Gen-Xer who ever struggled with a device, and for
everyone else who loves emojis … said no one ever.
‘Essential reading for anyone in the workplace over 40, and a
handbook for those cocky bastards who are not.’
Paula (Boomer, wannabe GenX)
William Knight’s writing credits include The Guardian, The Financial Times
and the BBC, among many others publications, where he has written
about the successes and failings of technology.
He currently lives in Wellington, NZ, where he works as an IT consultant
and writes blistering content for technology firms.
The Donated, (first published as Generation), is a thriller based on the
dangers of experimenting with viral DNA and ignoring science. It
features a techno-phobic journo.
XYZ is a mid-life car crash. Jack Cooper works for a super-cool tech firm
and can’t operate his own mobile phone. Besides, his life is falling
apart because his family is addicted to the internet.
Other novels, The Fractured and Foretold, may be available
“one day” he says.

DV Berkom is the USA Today bestselling author of two action-packed
thriller series featuring strong female leads (Leine Basso and Kate
Jones). Her love of creating resilient, kick-ass women characters
stems from a lifelong addiction to reading spy novels, mysteries, and
thrillers, and longing to find the female equivalent within those pages.
Raised in the Midwest, she earned a BA in political science and promptly
moved to Mexico to live on a sailboat. Several years and many
adventures later, she wrote her first novel and was hooked. The Kate
Jones adventure thriller, Bad Spirits, was first published in 2010 as
an online serial, and was immediately popular with Kindle and Nook
fans. Dead of Winter, Death Rites, and Touring for Death soon
followed before she began the far grittier Leine Basso thriller
series in early 2012 with Serial Date.
DV currently lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, Mark, and
several imaginary characters who like to tell her what to do.

Where the Bodies Are The McAllister Series Book 1 by L.V. Gaudet Genre: Psychological Crime Thriller

Published on by mariacatalinaegan1 Comment
Step into the twisted mind of a serial killer in this disturbing
psychological thriller.
Dead bodies are being left where they are sure to be found. But, the
killer made a mistake; one victim left for dead survived.
Kept in a medically induced coma while she recovers, they can only watch
her and wait for the killer to come back for her.
While Detective Michael Underwood protects their only living witness,
Detective Jim McNelly and his reporter friend Lawrence Hawkworth are
determined to find the killer and bring his killing spree to an end.
Instead, they discover a bigger mystery.
The killer’s reality blurs between past and present with a compulsion
driven by a dark secret locked in a fractured mind. Overcome by a
blind rage that leaves him wallowing in remorse with the bodies of
victim after victim, he is desperate to stop killing.
After learning of his victim’s survival, the killer sees it as a sign
they are meant to be together. Threatening her tenuous grip on life,
he is determined to take back his prize while he continues kidnapping
and murdering young women.
Accustomed to a life of abuse, one victim’s experience becomes her
refuge in a desperate bid for survival.
Instead of killing her, he keeps Katherine Kingslow imprisoned in the dark
while he continues plotting to take back the Jane Doe in the
hospital. How long can Kathy survive and will she lose her own mind?
The search for the killer will lead to his dark secret buried in the
past, something much larger than a man compelled to kill again and
again.
The McAllister Farm
The McAllister Series Book 2
Step back in time to learn the secret behind the bodies in Where the
Bodies Are in this disturbing look at the boy who will grow up to
create the killer.
1981
Meet David McAllister, the boy who will grow up to create the killer.
In 1981 there was a man who lived on a farm. William McAllister was a
private and reclusive man who, above all else, did not like to have
attention drawn on his family.
He wanted only to be left to mind his own business and family and for
the world to do the same. But that very reclusiveness fosters
contempt and suspicion in the people of the small farming community
his family has called home for generations.
William McAllister has a son, Jason McAllister. Jason is a troubled boy.
Growing up under his father’s strict rules and isolated from the
normal childhood relationships, he is left to explore his darker
inclinations. Seeing the darker side of Jason, William tries to rein
his son in by bringing him into the family business.
Just then a serial killer starts preying on local young women. The
McAllisters quickly find themselves drawn into the spotlight when the
town decides William McAllister is the killer. As the town’s search
for the killer focuses on the McAllister farm and the woods behind
it, the threat to the McAllister secret grows.
The McAllister family history is as dark as the secret hiding in the
woods. The attention is a threat to both William McAllister’s
profession and his family. He has no choice but to find the killer
himself. He might not like what he learns.
Hunting Michael Underwood
The McAllister Series Book 3
Step deeper into the twisted mind of a serial killer as he slips further
into madness in this disturbing psychological thriller.
Hunting Michael Underwood follows on the heels of book one, Where the Bodies
Are, bringing the first two stories and their characters together as
the search for the killer continues.
Michael Underwood has vanished and everyone is searching for him. Detective
Jim McNelly is determined to not stop until he finds him. Working
with the detective, Lawrence Hawkworth is still chasing the bigger
story he knows is behind the bodies. Jason McAllister knows he must
stop the killer he created before he goes too far. He may be the only
one who can stop him.
Unable to let go of his barely remembered past and the search for his
sister, the killer goes looking for Jason McAllister’s past and his family.
*****
Detective Jim McNelly is furious. Detective Michael Underwood disappeared
without a trace with the only living witness to the McAllister
murders. Worse, Michael is not who he pretended to be. And then the
other shoe fell.
Jason T. McAllister, tried and convicted of the kidnapping and murders of
multiple women and the prime suspect behind the bodies discovered in
the woods behind the McAllister farm, is being inexplicably set free.
He will not spend the rest of his life in prison.
Jim is determined to find Michael Underwood, bring him down, and discover
the truth about who he really is and what his connection to Jason
McAllister is.
Working with his long time friend, the notoriously unscrupulous investigative
reporter Lawrence Hawkworth, Jim will not stop until he finds Michael
and the answers to the bodies found in the mass graveyard in the
woods behind the McAllister Farm.
Jason McAllister knows he must stop the real killer behind the murders he
was convicted for. As the killer spirals further into madness, Jason
is the only one who can stop him. But, he needs help. He is going to
have to talk to his father, William McAllister, the man who taught
him how to hide the bodies.
Michael Underwood and Katherine Kingslow are on the run. A victim of domestic
abuse and only known survivor of the McAllister Farm killer, Kathy
has lapsed into Stockholm syndrome. Now she is torn between her need
to be with her captor and fear of his escalating psychotic episodes.
Everyone is hunting for Michael Underwood.
Killing David McAllister

Everyone wants to kill David McAllister in this explosive conclusion.
David McAllister must die.
Crazy comes to a head in this disturbing psychological thriller.
When an unbalanced serial killer sets his sights on a little girl, there is
only one way it can end. Someone will die.
Sometimes the only way to stop a monster is to kill it. He has gone by many
names, but he was raised as David McAllister, and finding what he is
looking for is not enough to quiet the darkness inside him.
The organization ordered the cleanup of the entire McAllister family.
The job was given to Sophie McAllister.
While Detective Jim McNelly and his reporter friend Lawrence Hawkworth
continue to hunt them down, the McAllisters move into hiding.
David McAllster’s psychosis continues, but now Sophie’s daughter is in
danger. He believes she is his tiny sister Cassie.

Cassie from tormenting him.

own brother, Jason, too. When the time comes, she’s not sure if she
can do it.

girl’s life is at stake.

sister he lost so many years ago, he is going to take little Lauren
with him. Having his now adult real sister, Cassie, there is no help.
