Book 4 Bell to Pay by Jeremy Waldron is thought provoking and downright scary. Can you imagine someone watching your every move by hacking into your phone? Well, imagine if someone hacked into your home security system and took control? This book makes you think about all of our electronic devices, including those fancy medical devices that keep us alive. Samantha has an admirer. He is following her every move and everyone who is in her inner circle. Sends chills just thinking about it. Mr. Waldron is a terrific writer. He brings his characters to life and his method for setting the stories up is phenomenal. Samantha is his creation and she is a smart investigative reporter but still she can be fooled. Great book. Now on to Book #5.

You know those little devices half the world is glued to?
Ever wonder how easily they can be controlled by anyone, anywhere?
This chilling look at a world that isn't so far- fetched as you might think, is the premise for Waldron's Bell to Pay. The unthinkable seems to become common place.
Samantha and crew are hot on the chase, it remains to be seen who will be the victor, but it's a fight to the end.

Technology Rules
As we use our smartphones computers, etc., we're sure we're safe. Are we?? This book takes us into the world of hackers, both good and bad. Trust me, you'll never look at technology quite the same.

Excellent
This one drew me in from the start and fooled me to the end. Strong characters, tight plot and a scary ending. Headed for book five.

This book centers on investigative reporter Samantha (the Bell of the title) and a computer hacker who has turned murderous, Loxley. The story alternates between their viewpoints, hers in the first person and his in the third person. The first chapter is supposed to draw the reader into the villain’s story, but I found it too bogged down in extraneous detail that slowed down the pace of what could have been an exciting scene. I actually think that Chapter One should have been called a prologue, or at least the author should have stated at the top of the chapters who the viewpoint character is. Written like this, it is a little confusing as you jump from character to character, especially at the beginning before you catch on to the idea that viewpoint character switches when you see the change in person (first vs. third). When writing a book in this fashion--especially a thriller--it is good to know this info without having to overthink it so you can just keep reading without going “What?”, “Huh?”, or “Who?”.
This story had a high level of “ick” factor for me. I don't really want to know about a killer’s sexual arousal during a crime or at any other time while thinking of his deeds or the protagonist. This certainly happened more often than I felt comfortable with. The book actually had a fairly decent amount of action like you hope for in a thriller, but I thought at times the prose was weighed down with too much detail about superfluous actions or inconsequential objects. Also, I am an RN, and I was appalled that the author had a nurse show Samantha a patient’s medical record--a HIPAA violation that could lose the nurse her job, money, and her license. In all, this book didn't work for me, and I won't be reading any more of the series.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

To be honest, I have never really trusted the little e pals folks carry in their pockets. I hung out with e geeks in school and college, and had a sister and buddies at University who were soldiers. Add in my literary studies and a creative imagination....
I am really not a conspiracy freak, nor a weirdo. I do not think the toaster is listening in, but I long ago knew your phone could. And in the world of today, e geeks are not the only ones who could use your tech to spy on you.
Sam finds this out the hard way, when she is set up for a murder. Others she works around find this out at their cost.
Sadly the modern day Robinhood smitten with Sam is more than a bit mad, and a whole lot of lethal.
Exciting KU crime journalist/ police procedural with odd relationship twists added.
I received an advance copy from Booksprout. I read this book on Kindle Unlimited.

This is my first time reading this author. I thought the story was fast-paced and an enjoyable read. I liked the twists and turns that were included as I enjoy a book that can keep me guessing as those are the ones that shall hold my attention even after I’ve finished the book. I shall look out for this author in the future as this is a well-written story.

Serious fast-paced action with a lot of twists that kept me guessing! I was pulled into the story from the beginning, intrigued by who, what, and where and I think the story is incredibly well-written. I have not read any previous books by this author but I believe that I will! This book did keep me up!

A real who is it.
It takes a good while to get the real evil. The amazing to kill a person with electronics is great.
