NIGHTLIFE MOSCOW by TRAVIS LUEDKE

ADULT CONTENT IN BOOK

Nightlife Moscow is not the typical vampire going crazy blood thirsty book. The vampires in this book seem to have more class. Even with the adult scenes it was tastefully done and not as full of porn material.

I will say that this book kept my attention throughout and I wanted to read another book after this one finished. That is why I am giving this a 5/5.

ADULT CONTENT IN BOOK

FIRE WIND (WIND DRIFTERS #1) by GUY STANTON III

Fire Wind is written as a western. It could be written in any time frame as once again Guy Stanton makes the people and love of God come alive right off the page.

This is getting 5/5 with a wish I could give it higher.

PERSONAL NOTE

I normally do not read westerns and reading this one did not feel like reading a normal western. It had the setting and all, what it did not have was the normal long saloon scenes and shootouts. THIS IS BETTER!!

BONEFISH BLUES by STEVEN BECKER

Bonefish Blues is a intriguing mystery that could be considered relevant with different environmental issues of today and not just in the Keys where the setting is for this book.

However you look at the storyline it is an excellent read that will grab attention and not let go until the end and even then I asked myself, "if there was more?"

This being said it is getting a 5/5 rating and I hope I get to read more by Steven Becker.

RIVER OF BONES by ANGELA TOWNSEND

River of Bones is a curse with a mystery mixed in. This book could be called intense in some parts to some. I would say I am glad I do not live in the swamp that has a lazy stream like river on a old plantation property.

On a serious note this book was good with a good story line and areas that I got the spooks.

I am giving this book a 5/5 rating. Also it is one I am going to be rereading!

SINS OF THE FATHER by THELONIOUS LEGEND

MY REVIEW

Sins of the Father was a fun and exciting book to read. Once I started to read it I could not put it down. The ideas and scrapes the sisters get themselves into had me laughing to myself. I am giving this book a 5/5 star as I finished it in one night and was chuckling throughout it.

PERSONAL NOTE

I wanted to read a book that was fun and upbeat and this is what I needed. It also showed though how no matter how different sisters are or no matter how much they fight they will stick together when they need to.
