Review: A Bullet for Carlos

January 4, 2013 By Seeley James

A Bullet for Carlos by Giacomo Giammatteo Giacomo Giammatteo wrote one of my favorite books of the year, Murder Takes Time (read it, you won’t regret it), so it’s no surprise that his latest release is also a great book. This is not a continuation of the original series, but it has some parallels that […]

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.

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 […]
