A few new releases I've heard about
Recently, I've spotted a few new releases that look like great reads. I thought it would be nice to highlight them here.
Last Child by Terry Tyler
LAST CHILD is the sequel to Kings and Queens, Terry Tyler’s modern take on the story of Henry VIII and his six wives.
Harry Lanchester is gone, his legacy passed on to his children:
Thirteen year old JASPER, who views the directors of Lanchester Estates as Harry Potter characters, and finds out that teenage love affairs are no fairytale.
ISABELLA, the eldest daughter; lonely and looking for love, she returns from a holiday in Spain with more than just a suntan.
Impulsive, independent ERIN, the girl of Transport manager Rob Dudley’s dreams, whose priority is not a husband and family, but the continuation of her father’s work.
You will also meet the ambitious Jim Dudley, ex-nanny Hannah Cleveley, Rob’s long suffering wife Amy, and Raine Grey, whose nine days as PR manager for Lanchester Estates have a devastating effect on her life.
LAST CHILD takes the drama, passion and intrigue of Kings and Queens into the present day, with echoes from the past ~ and a glimpse or two into the future...

*****************************
Easy Target by Jenny Hilborne (I've read this one and it's brilliant!)
Hours are missing from Lucinda Fitchett’s memory. She has no recollection of the events that occurred on Sunday night and she cannot recall leaving the bar.
The phone rings early the next morning. A stranger claims to know who spiked her drink and why. If she agrees to meet him, he will tell her, though he warns her the information comes at a price. Desperate to know what happened during the missing hours, Lucinda must decide if his offer is worth the risk. But can she put aside her troubled past, and will she be prepared to learn the truth?
Meanwhile, San Francisco police are investigating a shooting that killed a man in Lafayette Park. When Homicide Detective John Doucette visits the crime scene, it triggers memories that lead him to believe the murder could be connected to an old case, and to someone with a link to his past.
Easy Target is the sequel to No Alibi.

Once Upon a Time in the City of Criminals, by Mark Barry
Terry Valentine, ex-football hooligan and ageing, small-time hood spends his nights driving beautiful young escort, Chloe, to her appointments in the urban inferno of the big city and the opulent manor houses of the countryside.
Despite himself, knowing full well the madness, he falls in love with her. Hard.
And so does Hope Calder, impossibly rich COE of Calder Phoenix, a multi-national financial conglomerate. Someone who has everything a woman could possibly want.
Money, status power.
Everything except love.
When Chloe declines her advances, her driver knows that a simple polite refusal isn’t going to be enough. With her boss, the cunning Neville Gant, manipulating the situation to his own ends, and Hope’s small army of corporate shills lurking in the shadows, Chloe finds herself in mortal danger.
And only one man can protect her.
Terry Valentine. Loser. Jailbird. Junkie.

The Quarantined City 2 Into The Rain, by James Everington
For Fellows, life in the quarantined city is getting stranger.
The previous day had been a normal one, spent walking the streets and hunting rare books. But then Fellows had read a story by the reclusive writer known as Boursier, and things changed. His memories of the city no longer seem to tally with the streets around him, and the ghostly child in his house seems to have redoubled its efforts to touch him. The protestors against the quarantine are getting more vocal and the unity government more intolerant.
Fellows just wants to ignore these complications and concentrate on finding further stories by Boursier, but his efforts to do so just entangle him further in the secrets of the quarantined city.
Into The Rain is the second episode of the six part monthly serial The Quarantined City from James Everington and Spectral Press.

Dark Pursuit by Jennifer Chase
From the International Award Winning EMILY STONE THRILLER SERIES:
Vigilante detective Emily Stone has covertly hunted down killers and closed more serial cases than most seasoned homicide cops combined. Her exceptional profiling skills and forensic techniques, along with deductive crime scene investigations, have made her a compelling force that cannot be beat.
She has reached her ultimate breaking point and now must face her toughest opponent yet – her biggest fears.
With preciseness, the Tick-Tock Killer has taken his next child victim and promised to dump the body precisely four days later, mocking police and the community. Stone struggles to balance her inner demons and ghosts from the past, against the wits of a brutal and cunning serial killer in an all-out battle of psychological warfare.
Can Stone save the next child in time? Dark Pursuit is an action-packed cat and mouse game that will take you to dark places rarely explored.

I read No Justice in 2011 and loved it. An excellent read.

That must have been in the early BestsellerBound days, or "the good old days" LOL :) Darcia and I were reminiscing about that forum the other day. I still remember when you joined.
The good old days, when we were all fumbling around together!
Darcia wrote: "The good old days, when we were all fumbling around together!"Hahaha! They were the best :)
We had a lot of fun. I do miss our group.This whole writing thing has started to feel too much like work.

Very true, Darcie.
I've just finished reading Triptychs and loved it! Although two of them are my stories, I'd waited to read the rest after it was downloaded on my Kindle (yes, I bought it).Wow, such wonderful talent, I'm honoured to be amongst such fine writing.
I have posted a review on Goodreads (Amazon are churlish about authors reviewing).
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
I would certainly want to be part of this fabulous team again.

The other books on this list look inviting - please stop tempting me, as my Kindle is overflowing!!!

Great review, Julie. Yes, I think it's unfair that Amazon won't let us review the book there.I haven't read it all the way through yet but will post something here when I have.
We haven't started book 4 yet, but I think it would be great if you join us, either for that one or another book in the series :)
Triptychs was a fun project. I was intrigued by the different viewpoints of the authors working on the same photo.
I already have Terry's book on my to-read list. (Along with a few others by her.) Now I have to add the other three. No doubt about it - I have to give up sleep if I ever expect to catch up on my to-read list!
