February 15, 2020Overview: Looking to increase their powers thirteen-fold, thirteen teenage vampires kidnap Emily, a thirteen-year-old girl whom they plan to sacrifice to Satan during The Thirteenth Hour, on All Hallows’ Eve.
Author Alan Zacher puts his best detective, James Hurts—a familiar protagonist to his fans—on the case when Emily’s friend, Amanda, learns about the teen vampires’ gruesome plan and convinces him to launch a rescue. What ensues is a raucous and rowdy, albeit dark and dangerous mission to save Emily from certain death.

The Body on the Shore
will work for fans of police procedurals. My three star review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Tilt, by excellent Aussie author Chris Hammer, is the second in this rural mystery series, but it would be just as good as a standalone. Homicide detectives in small towns are up against generations of feuds and loyalties.
My review of The Tilt
Charles Dickens is known for many things, but this spooky story about a railroad worker seems different to me. The Signal-Man could easily have been a Twilight Zone episode.
My review of The Signal-Man
Spare1 star for an entire year to read this.

by Victor Methos:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Crime and legal thriller
Third book in the series
Overall, this tense, suspenseful, and tragic novel gripped me from the beginning. The author brings strong characters, a great plot, and fascinating relationships to the novel.

Here is my 3.09 rounded to 3 stars review of When Grumpy Met Sunshine
by Charlotte Stein:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Romantic Comedy
Overall, this was a story that quickly drew me into Alfie and Mabel’s world and their journey together. It was an engaging and cute read with plenty of witty banter. The characterization was excellent and the descriptions gave readers an appreciation for their living conditions. However, at 60%, the book went steamy and spicy without advancing the story line much until the last 10%.
A Good Thriller
