Review: The Girl Who Would Be King

November 27, 2012 By Seeley James

The Girl Who Would Be King — by Kelly Thompson $4.99 E This book is better than Hunger Games. A hell of a lot better. More exciting, more innovative, more fascinating. And yet Traditional Publishers won’t touch it. Why? Because it doesn’t fit their formula. It has no genre, no shelf at B&N, no section […]

Review: Riot Act

September 28, 2012 By Seeley James

Riot Act – by Zoë Sharp, $3.49 E Every book I read has a great endorsement by someone or other. Zoë Sharp’s first book, Killer Instinct, had a rousing Foreword by Lee Child. That caught my eye. Mr. Child reported that someone said, I love your books but Zoe Sharp is better. Interesting admission from […]

Review: Deadly Coast

September 6, 2012 By Seeley James

Author: RE McDermott, $4.95 E There is no better nautical thriller in bookstores today than Deadly Coast. I’m not being cheeky about this being an ebook (I presume Mr. McDermott will offer a softcover in the near future). I mean this is the best nautical thriller author writing today. And this is his second book. He […]

Review: Murder Takes Time

September 4, 2012 By Seeley James

Murder Takes Time – Giacomo Giammatteo, $17.99 Soft, $4.99 E This is the best book I’ve read this year. I’ve never read the Godfather. I’ve never been drawn to gangster novels. I’m not even big on gritty crime dramas. I couldn’t tell you why I bought this one. Maybe it was the feeling I got […]

Review: Bloodline

August 29, 2012 By Seeley James

Bloodline — Author James Rollins, $27.99 HC, $12.99 E When I buy James Rollins books, I usually do it when he visits our local bookstore, the Poisoned Pen. I buy 3-4 copies, get them signed and hand them out to friends. I think of these gifts as part of my evangelical mission on behalf of […]
