My thoughts

Would I recommend it? Yes, in fact I've already told one of my friends about it ans she went to NetGalley to see if she could get to read since we like the same stuff when it comes to books.

Would I read more by these authors?Yes

Now on to my thoughts but like always I want to give a big thanks to the publisher Bantam-Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine, the authors Brandon Webb, John David Mann, and to NetGalley for the invite to read and review Steal Fear because without them I wouldn't have never known about it or never have  discovered two new authors. As for the story itself its fast pace , nonstop action and the main character Finn came off as a character you would want to have to watch your back. Other thing I loved was character development and the  plot was interesting and worked really well with the story .

An aircraft carrier adrift with a crew the size of a small town. A killer in their midst. And the disgraced Navy SEAL who must track him down . . . The high-octane debut thriller from New York Times bestselling writing team Webb & Mann—combat-decorated Navy SEAL Brandon Webb and award-winning author John David Mann.

The moment Navy SEAL sniper Finn sets foot on the USS Abraham Lincoln to hitch a ride home from the Persian Gulf, it's clear something is deeply wrong. Leadership is weak. Morale is low. And when crew members start disappearing one by one, what at first seems like a random string of suicides soon reveals something far more sinister: There's a serial killer on board. Suspicion falls on Finn, the newcomer to the ship. After all, he's being sent home in disgrace, recalled from the field under the dark cloud of a mission gone horribly wrong. He's also a lone wolf, haunted by gaps in his memory and the elusive sense that something he missed may have contributed to civilian deaths on his last assignment. Finding the killer offers a chance at redemption . . . if he can stay alive long enough to prove it isn't him

My thoughts

First off I want to say a huge  thank you to the publisher Bookouture,   the author Helen Phifer, and to NetGalley for inviting me to join the blog tour for this book as well as letting me read and review it. Even though have books 1 and 2 to read  and review after reading this one , I can't wait to go back and read them as well, it was fast pace though out the story , and had me setting on the edge of my set as well as kept me guessing on who had taken Charlotte, and the way the author wrote her bad guy made him creepy and not the type of person I wanted to knew or every met .As for the characters themselves there was some that I hated and some that I felt sorry for as well as some that I liked , and the story is told in various points of view, which also helps to bring in some of the creepiness that I mentioned before.

Description:

 

The little girl peered down the dark alleyway.

She stepped forward, not seeing the silent figure following her into the dark passageway…

 

When nine-year-old Charlotte Standish goes missing from her street in the small town of Rydale Falls, it sparks a media frenzy. Detective Morgan Brookes leads a frantic hunt for the girl, but little Charlie seems to have vanished into thin air.

 

Chasing up a lead at Charlie’s school, Morgan is chilled to learn that this isn’t the first time a child has gone missing on this street. Another girl disappeared fifteen years ago, and Morgan is the only one who thinks the cases could be related. But in the moment that she takes her eye off Charlie’s case to investigate the link between the two girls, another child, Macy, goes missing.

 

Then Morgan gets the call she was dreading, Charlie’s lifeless body has been found in a local park, lying in the shadow of a large tree. Morgan has let one girl down, but she refuses to give up on Macy. Determined to find an overlooked clue, she retraces Macy’s last steps. She’s getting close to the truth when her partner, Detective Ben Matthews, is attacked outside Morgan’s home. Is a twisted killer isolating Morgan from her team? And how long does Macy have left to live? Morgan must solve the case before more innocent lives are taken…

Book Description:

The teenage girl in the picture has bright eyes and a smudge of chocolate on her chin. It’s her birthday and she looks self-consciously beautiful in her floral party dress. But nobody has seen this girl’s sweet smile for days. She has vanished without a trace.

Enclosed by endless beaches and crashing waves, the sleepy little island of Martha’s Vineyard is a place where everyone knows each other’s name and locals can leave their front doors unlocked at night without worry. But everything changes the day that Samantha Clayton leaves for an afternoon bike ride along the cliff tops, and never comes home.

Detective Abby Pearce has the difficult job of interviewing the girl’s grieving mother and silent stepfather. But why can’t they answer simple questions about what Samantha was wearing the day she went missing, or who her friends were? Did her family know her at all?

Then a girl’s bright pink shoe is discovered buried on a local beach. What if Samantha is not the first innocent teenager to be taken, but the latest? Another victim is found dead days later, and the terrified residents demand to know what’s happening to their children. But the killer is already planning his next move and more young lives will be taken if Abby doesn’t figure out what secrets this small town is hiding…

An absolutely unputdownable and nail-biting crime thriller that will have you racing through the pages. Perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, Kendra Elliot and Gregg Olsen.

Don't look

Don't Speak

Just prepare to die 

Title: Close Your Eyes

Author:Mary Burton

Genre: Romance Suspense

Blacklisted kindle book: 2016 

Rating: 5

My thoughts

Would I read more by this author? Yes, in fact so far I've read 6 books by her and got 3 more to read then I need to go and stack up on more of her books.

Would I read more of this series? Yes

Would I recommend it? Yes

Right about now your asking yourself why should I pick this up and here is just some of the reasons as to why:

Murder 

Secrets

Did someone get away with murder or did the right person go to jail for it?

Baby - a creepy character that you meet throughout the story

a touch of romance 

lots of twists and turns, to keep the reader on their edge of their set

and the story itself  will grab your attention from the beginning and won't let up until the last page.

Don't Look

At first, they struggle to escape. Then a torrent of blows rains down upon their bodies until their eyes cloud over in final agony. The killer shows no remorse--just a twisted need to witness each victim's last terrified moments.

Don't Speak

Public defender Rachel Wainwright is struggling to reopen a decades-old case, convinced that the wrong man is in prison. Homicide detective Deke Morgan doesn't want to agree. But if Rachel's hunch is correct, whoever fatally bludgeoned young, beautiful Annie Dawson thirty years ago could be the source of a new string of brutal slayings.

Just Prepare To Die

Rachel's investigation is about to reveal answers--but at a price she never thought to pay. Now she's become the target of a rage honed by years of jealousy and madness. And a murderer is ready to show her just how vicious the truth can be. 

Chaos

 Welcome to my review of Chaos

The #1 New York Times bestselling author introduces CIA agent Alisa Flynn, who is willing to go rogue if it means catching the most heartless band of criminals she's ever encountered

Title:  Chaos

Series: Alisa Flynn #1

Author: Iris Johansen

Genre:Suspense

Backlist book 2020

Pages: 407

Rating: 5

My thoughts

First off I  want to say a  huge  thank you to the publisher Grand Central Publishing,the author  Iris Johansen, for send me a copy of it to read and review as well as say I'm so sorry for getting to it a bit late. Now on to what I thought of it :Fast pace right from the very start, amazing characters , and the storyline and plot was exciting and thrilling as well as suspenseful , with a bit of romance mixed in . 

.

When CIA agent Alisa Flynn flaunts the rules by breaking into a mansion in the middle of the night, she skillfully circumvents alarms and outwits guards only to find herself standing in billionaire Gabe Korgan's study… busted by Korgan himself. This could cost her her job unless, in a split second, she can turn the tables and try to convince him to join her on the most important mission of her life.

In a ripped-from-the-headlines plot, schoolgirls in Africa have been kidnapped, and Alisa knows that Korgan has the courage, financial means, and high-tech weaponry to help rescue them. With so many innocent lives hanging in the balance, what she doesn't reveal is that one of those schoolgirls is like a little sister to her. But when the truth gets out, the stakes grow even higher.

Calling in additional assistance from renowned horse whisperer Margaret Douglas, Alisa and Gabe lay their plans, only to see them descend into chaos as the line between right and wrong wavers before them like a mirage. Every path is strewn with pitfalls, each likely to get them – or the hostages – killed. But with the help of a brave team and a horse with the heart of a warrior, they might just get out of this alive
