4/2/2022 started.  Amazon First Read I believe.  Just started so nothing to write yet. 4/16/22 Just finished.  Twisted for sure.  Dr. Moore, a criminal psychyatrist has a client that wants to kill his wife.  So she thinks.  Six high school kids are abducted and killed left without a penis and a heart carved into their chest.  The father of one of the boys is a lawyer who is representing the apprehended alleged killer.  He knows he’s not the killer though and Dr. Moore has to profile him (the alleged killer).  To many twists and turns, the ending is intense.  Give this book a 8/10.  Characters are memorable.  Not a scooby doo mystery.

This was a book recommended from a TikTok post.  I started the book on 3/23/22.  Four chapters in.  Storyline not yet unfolding.  Characters are easy to remember so far.  Lily is a young single living in Boston.  Starting her own flower business.  She meets Ryle (yes like Kyle but with an R).  She writes to Ellen DeGeneres in her “diary”.  Chapters are long though.

Most of the chapters were doable.  Poor Lily.  I mean that.  She was torn between 2 men.  She watched her mother in an abusive relationship.  1 man was homeless when they met.  She saved his life but he never felt good enough for her.  The other man, a neurosurgeon, was almost everything.  Except he was the abusive one.

Finished on 4/2/22.  10 days.

Inspirational/Self Help:  This book only has 73 pages and is illustrated.  I read it on 3/30/22.  It only took about half an hour to read.  Which are you?  The shark or the goldfish?  It all depends on your outlook in life.

3/18/22 started Joe’s book.  I don’t think I’ve ever read anything by him.  We shall see how it goes.  Wow, really enjoyed the book.  Writing style is cool.  Chapters are short, characters are very easily memorable.  Story line was good.  241 pages went by way to quickly.  I finished the book on 3/22/22.  Yep just 4 days.

Andy, a writer is having an affair with Rachel.  Rachel’s husband ends up dead because of a bad business deal made by his business partner.  This unleashed a whole slew of bad things that Andy has to figure out.  Rachel and her kids go missing.  The priest is….I’ll let you read and figure him out.

I give this a true 9/10.  I really enjoyed it.

I started this book on 3/1/22.  Billy and Diana are fighting.  He gets a mission to track down 50 missing high powered riffles.  So it just happens that this story is taking place in Ireland.  Funny because I finished the book on St. Patrick’s Day 3/17/2022.  There was a LOT that he was unpacking in the story.  Once again I logged into GMaps to get a lay of the land for where Billy was going in country.  I had to research IRA, Black Knights, Unionists and Republicans.  I found out that Ireland is split between English rule and Ireland rule.  The northern half (it’ only 6 counties) are governed by the English.  Billy found the BARs, caught another Army Major in a skimming scheme and got Dianna back.  Of course, he managed to get shot too.  Was a good story but there was a LOT to unpack.  I still give it an 8/10.  Library book read on Kindle app on the IPad.

Another library loaner reading on the Kindle app.  That is soooo awesome cause if I had to but these books I wouldn’t read them so fast.  They are awesome.  I started this on on 2/19/2022 and bet I can finish before the end of the month.  (Feb a short month).  2/28/2022 and I just finished the book.  Lots of mobster/gangster style stuff in this book with the Scicilians all kind of backstabbing each other.  Billy looses his memory and wakes up in Sicili.  Has to remember who he as and what he is suppose to be doing.  Awesome story.  Again had to look up the map to see where they were.   Final chapters in the book he meets up with Daphne again.  Finally.  Can’t wait to start the next one.

OMG!  I couldn’t read this fast enough.  What a story.  I didn’t know much about the North African invasion until I read this book.  Billy sure gets himself into some predicaments.  Daphne died in the last book leaving Billy’s friend Kaz without a girl.  Dianna, Billy’s girl gets captured by the villain Villard.  Well Billy gets his revenge late in the book.  Started the book (checked out from the library AND read on the Kindle app) on 2/6 and finished on 2/18.  12 Days isn’t to bad.  I probably could’ve finished sooner but the Olympics was on so I watched a lot of those instead of reading.

Giving this book a solid 9/10.

I started this one on 1/18/2022 and finished on 2/5/2022.  Another great “Davenport” novel.  Still love the writing style of JS.  He finally gets the villain that he has been chasing.  This time he was cutting out the eyes of his victims so they wouldn’t “watch” him from beyond the grave.  Loved the book.  Didn’t take me long to finish it.  Not sure he “hooked up” with anyone in this book.  He wanted to a couple of times with some old cop friends of his while he was in NYC.

I started this one on 12/17/2021 and WILL finish by end of the year. I’m actually like 70% done with the book when starting this post.  The story line is creepy.  2 killers.  Think “Throw Mama from the Train”.   You do mine and I’ll do yours.  Except now it’s like you do three for me and I’ll do one for you.  Lucas is hot on the trail.  He thinks he has one of them and the other he’s not sure about.  We will see when I finish it.

His girlfriend in this book is Cassie.  She’s an actress at a theater.  I finished the book on 12/30/21.  Loved it.  Lucas is still the man solving the crime.  Give this a solid 8/10.

I started this book (the real book NOT an Ebook) on 1/10/22.  Today is 1/18/22 and I finished today.  I was quarantined so I got lots of hours to read.  8 days is still pretty good for me to get through a book.

I love the writing style, the story line and the characters.  Billy gets introduced and joins the military not knowing that his Uncle is none other that General Ike.  Yup, that one.  Ike gives him a crime to solve and Billy along with some new friends Kaz and Daphne get to work.  Lots of twists and turns and he loses a friend but gains a girlfriend.  Dianna, Daphne’s sister of course.  He solves the crime, kills the murderer but lets the spy go.  Ike should have been mad, but that was the plan all along.

I give this book a solid 9/10.  Would recommend it to anyone.
