I finished Whalefall by Daniel Kraus and was surprised how deeply this heart wrenching story touched me. 4 Stars My Review.

I'm not a huge fan of horror and after reading this, I don't really consider it "horror". There are two stories of survival going on here, and it's the boy Jay's emotional, heartbreaking story stemming from a dysfunctional father/son relationship that spoke to me. I couldn't put it down.

[Sandra]

I finished Perfect Shot by Steve Urszenyi and was highly impressed by this debut crime thriller. 4 Stars My Review

PERFECT SHOT, with its female lead character, is a breath of fresh air in the male dominated genre of military style thrillers with Alex coming across as a highly intelligent, take no prisoners heroine with admirable skills seldom seen in female leads in the genre.
