Liked that one but was too scared to read it at home. I'd alr..."

It is really a good book. I had to put it down for now, but I'll be finishing it tonight, and I think the film is on tonight's dinner menu.

I finished Nine Lives to Die by Rita Mae Brown.

"Harry" Haristeen and her friends are helping local charities in Crozet, Virginia distribute goods to the poor during Christmas season. Soon enough two men are murdered and a long dead skeleton is unearthed. Like Brown's last few books this is more about a 'cause' (the needy) than a cozy mystery should be. 2.5 stars.

I finished The Uninvited this morning. I'm quite partial to haunted house stories and this was a good one.

[Iza]

I finished reading , and even if I didn't love it as much as I usually do, I still very much liked it. I always learn news things with this series.
Then I read (devoured) and am dying to finish work so I can devour the next in the series, . Lisa Gardner is very quickly becoming on of my favorite suspense authors :)

It's going to be a VERY long night here, so I'll be reading The Valancourt Book of Horror Stories: Volume One through the hurricane. I seriously don't think we'll be sleeping tonight.

[Bill]

I finished China Lake by Meg Gardiner this morning, a high action, tense thriller this morning and have dusted off The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson. It's been on my shelf for at least six years so I do need to finally read it.

[Zoe]

I am currently rereading my Ellis Peter's Cadfael Collection :P I am rereading St Peter's Fair and loving it all over again :)

[Barbara]

I finished Far From True by Linwood Barclay.

This is the second book in the "Promise Falls Trilogy." While crimes from book one are still unresolved another disaster is added in this book. The screen of a drive in movie theater is blown up and four people are killed. Detective Barry Duckworth is on the job....as is P.I. Cal Weaver. The book is a page turner. 3.5 stars.

Thanks Net Galley, and the author , and of course the publisher.

A dark, desperate and twisted battle for survival – Absolutely brilliant.

Thanks for auto-approving me to all your books, especially with a BRILLIANT BOOK like this from Will Jordan.

From Marseille to Islamabad at breakneck pace… it’s kill or be killed for Ryan Drake and his team

Ryan Drake, once a decorated field operative, is now wanted for treason. On the run from the CIA’s corrupt Deputy Director Marcus Cain, he has spent the past six months in a remote French safehouse. Drake’s former life seems to be behind him, but the uneasy peace is shattered when Cain moves against him with startling force.

Meanwhile, the war in Afghanistan is faltering in the wake of a devastating suicide attack. Cain though has a plan to find and destroy al-Qaeda’s top commanders. And nobody will stand in his way.

Backed into a corner, Drake turns to the deadly but unpredictable Anya – once Cain’s most promising agent, now his most bitter enemy. With tensions running high and their uneasy alliance threatening to tear itself apart, Drake’s hastily assembled team travels to Pakistan to intercept Cain.

With the fate of the War on Terror hanging in the balance, loyalties are tested and scores settled, as Drake embarks on the fight of his life. Only one side will survive…

This story is full of intrigue, double crossing, treason, fighting and a occasional dash of romance, terrific pace to this book, In fact this book really did remind me of many action books I have read from James Bond to Jason Bourne, only 'Ghost Target' is better.

Tremendous strong leading characters, and the return of another great character from previous a book, compelling, thrilling, enormously entertaining, action packed thriller.

From the bestselling author of Black List and Deception Game, Ghost Target is the sixth Ryan Drake thriller, and an incredible tale of deception, desperation, and ultimate betrayal.

All I can say is "I cannot wait for number seven !!

Five stars as this author matches my favourites of Tom Wood, David Baldacci, Mark Dawson, Mark Greaney.

Well I will be catching up on my sleep now, after quite a few late, late nights.

I finished The Trapped Girl by Robert Dugoni.

I'm reading Death's End by Liu Cixin.

This is the third book in his 'Remembrance of Earth's Past' science fiction trilogy.

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

Still in Halloween reading mode, having recently finished Conjure Wife, by Fritz Leiber. Currently reading The Cell & Other Transmorphic Tales, by David Case. I LOVE October reading!!!!

[Barbara]

I finished Dear Mr. M by Herman Koch

This literary suspense novel is about an author, Mr. M, whose
neighbor is spying on him. This may be connected to the fact that Mr. M's most successful book - released 40 years ago - was based on a true life occurence in which a teen couple was accused of killing their teacher. The book plods a little but held my attention. 3.5 stars

I finally finished the Grant County series by Karin Slaughter - to me, that series was more of the Romance/Soap Opera/Thriller- not my thing really- THRILLER YES... the other stuff was way bit over the top ---but having said that - Karin Slaughter is an amazing writer- and having read the first 2 of the Will Trent series and LOVING IT- looking forward to picking up that series again in the future.

Happy Thursday!

I'm currently reading one of the groups recent reads, "The Forgotten girls" by Alexa Steele...I'm sooo struggling with it. Although it has details that most readers crave, it seems like it's too detail oriented, which makes the reader lose focus on the main idea, in turn seems quite boring. I'm only 1/4 of the way in so I'm trying to give it a chance.

For those of you in the group, since it was a poll winner, does it get better? Is the series even worth my time, I just can't dive into the characters like usually do.

I just finished Boy's Life by Robert McCammon. This is a fantastic book in more ways than one and will sit high on my list of all-time favorite books. Here is my review.

I also just finished reading Already Dead, by Charlie Huston. I found it somewhat tedious. Here is my review, if you are interested.

[Barbara]

I finished Die Like an Eagle by Donna Andrews.

This is the 20th book in the Meg Lanslow series. Meg is a wife, mother, blacksmith, amateur sleuth, and assistant to the mayor. In this book Meg's twin sons are playing summer baseball and a man connected with the league is murdered. A good light mystery. 3 stars.

Just finished Dark Water by Robert Bryndza, and just started Triple Crown by Felix Francis.

Just finished and . I liked Dead Scared immensely. Her novella didn't quite leave the mark her first two full lengths did in this series. However, it was still enjoyable.

Currently reading .

Just finished by Joe Hill. The beginning made me jump, quickening my pulse, deep breaths. Enjoyed the tension, but really liked watching Vic and Lou mature in their relationship. This was the perfect time of year to finish this story.

I finished Death's End by Liu Cixin.

This is the last book in Liu's science fiction trilogy. In this book the human race is in deadly peril and scientists try to devise clever methods to save it. The entire trilogy is excellent and this book is the best of the bunch. Highly recommended to sci-fi fans.
4.5 stars.
