Book Review: When We Were Brave by Karla M. Jay
A powerful evocation of the everyday horrors faced by holocaust victims…
When We Were Brave is a vivid, heart-wrenching portrayal of holocaust years, as innocent victims grapple with loss, loneliness, and longing while the English and American forces fight against Nazi army. Set against the backdrop of World War II, this hefty volume portrays sufferings of holocaust victims both at the hands of Nazis and governments’ ruthless policies and is a challenging in its length (400 + pages) as well as subject. The story is told from the perspective of three protagonists whose lives become entwined. The narrative is gripping and skillfully paced, and Jay’s depiction of her characters’ inner turmoil, hopes, fears, and .....full review on website.

Book Review: Recover and Terminate: A Top Secret Presidential Novel By Mike Shellenbergar
A nail-biting, stay-up-all-night action thriller…
Two Vietnam vets are recruited and sent to Mexico by the President to locate the kidnaped daughter of a Texas US Senator in Shellenbergar’s deceptively simple yet clever Top Secret Presidential novel set in the 1960s. Hawk and Cowboy, the best friends, who teamed up to complete a highly dangerous mission in Vietnam, unite once again to finish their first Top Secret Presidential Mission in search of Liz Shillings, daughter of Texas Senator Phillip Shillings. The friends soon locate the girl, but they are instructed to finish off dangerous Carlos D’Arcy, the Mexican drug cartel leader, the man behind Liz’s kidnapping and the main importer of Heroin from The Golden Triangle in Southeast Asia to the United States. Circumstances prevent Liz from leaving the country and force her to be part of Hawk and Cowboy’s combat team. The things become complicated after they learn someone is leaking the top-secret information to the drug cartel, and a dangerous cat-and-mouse game begins between the trio and Mexican mafia. The plot which seems ridiculously simple unfolds gradually, with a maximum of suspense and heart-pounding action, while the ever-increasing stakes take the story forward at a lightning speed. Fans of high-octane action thrillers will be impressed by Shellenbergar’s shrewd variation on a typical action-thriller plot. Crisp, effective plot twists, and well-developed characterization are an added bonus. Hawk’s reserved, no-nonsense, brusque personality is just about right for a PTSD suffering army veteran. Cowboy is provided a softer tone with his .....full review on website.

Book Review: Noobie Habits (The Lineman and The Cook Book 2) by K. L. Russell
Thoroughly entertaining and addictive fantasy…
When troubled other-world children start their first year as Noobies at the not-so-traditional St. Raphael’s school, they have no desire to surrender to the school’s unique rules. Despite a warning from Mother Nicodemus, the school headmistress, their rebel minds find a way to get in trouble, but consequences are as unique as the curriculum for their Noobie year. Russell has infused this highly entertaining, adventurous sequel with several unique situations (both in curriculum activities and punishments for breaking rules) to keep the reader turning pages fast. The narrative is addictive, and .....full review on website.

.Book Review: Moon Deeds (Star Children Saga #1) by Palmer Pickering
Evocative, wholesomely absorbing, and thematically rich, Moon Deeds is a must-read for all science fiction fans...
.
In this richly textured, virtually flawless tale set in 2090, Palmer Pickering dispatches Tor and Cassidy to the moon to reclaim their inheritance and save humanity from vicious alien forces. The twin brother and sister duo, Tor and Cassidy, are the twenty-ninth pair of the star children twins born every millennium to reconnect with the source of all life. The task for Tor and Cassidy in this millennium is difficult though—with next to nothing for a clue about their ancestors’ whereabouts, and a pressing need to save humanity’s spiraling descent into darkness at the hands of alien forces. With almost all of the earth under alien’s brutal dictatorship, moon is the only outpost of freedom left for earth’s inhabitants. With a deed to vast land parcels on moon that they inherited from their great aunt, the twins leave for the moon, but things are not as they seem on the surface. To save humanity from darkness, the twins must discover their hidden powers and embrace their true identity. Pickering is brilliant when it comes to creating two alternative words. She approaches the 2090s alien-controlled earth with the same details, intrigue, and brilliancy as she depicts the dismal humanoid world of moon. Pickering’s take on the situation of women, who remain in a subservient position on moon (as well as under alien’s rule on earth), is an uncomfortable possibility that rings true on a colonized moon in the context of an alien-controlled earth in the far-future. Pickering’s world for humans on moon is richly detailed ....full review on website.

Book Review: On Loving by Lili Naghdi
Naghdi's razor-sharp account of the complex inner lives of her protagonists and her poetic rendering of the rich Persian literature make for an intense read…

. “That I can be with you, you, all of you,
And if life repeated a thousand times,
Still you, you, and again, you.” .
