Depraved Heat by Patricia Cornwell….Blog Tour Stop & Review

Depraved Heart (397x600)About Depraved Heart

Hardcover: 480 pages
Publisher: William Morrow (October 27, 2015)

Dr. Kay Scarpetta is working a suspicious death scene in Cambridge, Massachusetts when an emergency alert sounds on her phone. A video link lands in her text messages and seems to be from her computer genius niece Lucy. But how can it be? It’s clearly a surveillance film of Lucy taken almost twenty years ago.

As Scarpetta watches she begins to learn frightening secrets about her niece, whom she has loved and raised like a daughter. That film clip and then others sent soon after raise dangerous legal implications that increasingly isolate Scarpetta and leave her confused, worried, and not knowing where to turn. She doesn’t know whom she can tell ñ not her FBI husband Benton Wesley or her investigative partner Pete Marino. Not even Lucy.

In this new novel, Cornwell launches these unforgettable characters on an intensely psychological odyssey that includes the mysterious death of a Hollywood mogul’s daughter, aircraft wreckage on the bottom of the sea in the Bermuda Triangle, a grisly gift left in the back of a crime scene truck, and videos from the past that threaten to destroy Scarpetta’s entire world and everyone she loves. The diabolical presence behind what unfolds seems obvious – but strangely, not to the FBI. Certainly that’s the message they send when they raid Lucy’s estate and begin building a case that could send her to prison for the rest of her life.

In the latest novel in her bestselling series featuring chief medical examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta, Cornwell will captivate readers with the shocking twists, high-wire tension, and cutting-edge forensic detail that she is famous for, proving yet again why she’s the world’s #1 bestselling crime writer.

 

My Review:

Depraved Heart is book number 23 in author Patricia Cornwell’s Kay Scarpetta series and admittedly the first in the series I have read.  I’m a huge fan of forensic, psychological, and mystery TV so I figured I would give this series a try.  Well, I wasn’t disappointed.  This book with filled with suspense and I loved it.

Someone is trying to frame Dr. Kay Scarpetta’s niece and it seems to be at the hands of someone they had been dealing with, and fearing, for the last twenty years.  Someone they had counted out but never really forgotten about.  Someone wha was beyond mentally unstable and completely diabolical.  Now, they are all on a mission to figure out just what’s going on, who is sending these bizarre videos from twenty years ago to Dr. Scarpetta’s phone, and how to get out of this alive.

From start to finish I was kept on the edge of my seat.  The pieces of this puzzle are given to the reader on a slow and steady pace which only added to the overall suspense.  There were more than a few times I actually said “wow, this woman is completely psychotic” out loud.  I also enjoyed the heavy forensic details in the book.  At times it was a lot to digest while trying to keep up with what was going on with Lucy but it really did add an authentic layer that I appreciated.  Now, I can’t give anything away as to who ends up being responsible for orchestrating this entire scheme but I will tell you to buckle up for a crazy ride! My mother has been a huge fan of Ms. Cornwell for years and I was really happy I gave this series a try.  I will certainly be reading more!

Thank you, Ms. Cornwell, for one hell of a book!  I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well written and well thought out psychological thriller.

OBLIVION Synopsis:

Experience the epic love story of OBSIDIAN as told by its hero, Daemon Black…

I knew the moment Katy Swartz moved in next door, there was going to be trouble. Lots of it.

And trouble’s the last thing I need, since I’m not exactly from around here. My people arrived on Earth from Lux, a planet thirteen billion light years away. Plus, if there’s one thing I know, it’s that humans can’t be trusted. We scare them. We can do things they only dream about, and honestly, we make them look weak as hell. ‘Cuz they are.

But Kat is getting to me in ways no one else has, and I can’t stop myself from wanting her—or wanting to use my powers to protect her. She makes me weak, and I’m the strongest of our kind, tasked with protecting us all. So this one simple girl…she can mean the end for us. Because the Luxen have an even bigger enemy—the Arum, and I need to stay on my game.

Falling for Katy—a human—won’t just place her in danger.It could get us all killed, and that’s one thing I’ll never let happen…

Rising Storm Episode 6 (Oct. 29): Rebecca Zanetti’s Take the Storm
Amazon **iBooks ** Barnes & Noble ** GooglePlay

 

Welcome to Storm, Texas, where passion runs hot, desire runs deep, and secrets have the power to destroy…

Nestled among rolling hills and painted with vibrant wildflowers, the bucolic town of Storm, Texas, seems like nothing short of perfection.

But there are secrets beneath the facade. Dark secrets. Powerful secrets. The kind that can destroy lives and tear families apart. The kind that can cut through a town like a tempest, leaving jealousy and destruction in its wake, along with shattered hopes and broken dreams. All it takes is one little thing to shatter that polish.

Reading like an on-going drama in the tradition of classic day and night-time soap operas like Dallas, Dynasty, and All My Children, Rising Storm is full of scandal, deceit, romance, passion, and secrets.

With 1001 Dark Nights as the “producer,” Julie Kenner and Dee Davis use a television model with each week building on the last to create a storyline that fulfills the promise of a drama-filled soap opera. Joining Kenner and Davis in the “writer’s room” is an incredible group of New York Times bestselling authors such as Lexi Blake, Elisabeth Naughton, Larissa Ione, Rebecca Zanetti and Lisa Mondello who have brought their vision of Storm to life.

A serial soap opera containing eight episodes in season one, the season premiere of Rising Storm, TEMPEST RISING, debuted September 24th with each subsequent episode releasing consecutively this fall.

So get ready. The storm is coming.

Band of Bachelors: Lucas by Sharon Hamilton….Blog Tour & Review

BOB_BlogTour

 

SharonHamilton_Lucas2_800 copy

Synopsis:

Special Operator Lucas Shipley thought his living arrangement was temporary, since getting booted from the house by his wife. He sleeps on a couch in the apartment with four other divorced Navy SEALs, thinking he’ll get the call to come home any day. He ignores the not-so-helpful advice his buddies are giving him about marriage, women and romance. Until he gets served with divorce papers.

Realtor Marcy Gelland is hired by Lucas’ soon-to-be ex-wife to liquidate all their real estate holdings and help her orchestrate a speedy departure from Lucas’ life. Based on what the hot-headed SEAL wife has told her, Marcy understands Lucas deserves every ounce of pain coming his way.

But when Marcy and Lucas are left alone together in the remote Northern California woods, they ignite a personal bonfire that threatens to burn down the whole forest. Marcy is forced to see she is wrong about Lucas.

Amidst the backdrop of hardened bachelor SEALs with their unsolicited, anti-long-term relationship advice, and a terrorist training camp operating nearby, Lucas must do what he’s always done: be the hero and save the day. But will it be in time to save Marcy?

My Review:

Lucas is the first work in author Sharon Hamilton’s Bad of Bachelors Seal Brotherhood Series and admittedly the first of Ms. Hamilton’s work that I’ve read. With emotion, heat, action, and suspense, I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be looking forward to more from these SEALs!

Marcy and Lucas meet under less than heartwarming circumstances when she is the agent in charge of selling his marital home after his wife files for divorce.  Despite all the reasons they shouldn’t get together in any type of romantic way, the attraction they feel for one another turns out to be one they can’t ignore.  But it will turn out that breaking some rules and falling hard and fast won’t be the biggest problem they have to worry about when a terrorist cell winds up right here in our own backyard and Marcy ends up in their crosshairs….and their grasp.

What I loved most about this book was the author’s betrayal of the men’s men this group of guys truly is.  They’re gritty, raunchy at times, and total bachelors.  I think it’s probably the most accurate portrayal of a bunch of dudes that I’ve read.  They like their danger high, sex raw, and women strong but understanding.  Lucas was a great character to read as well as Marcy.  I also loved the suspense aspect and thought how the author pulled the whole plot together was done really well.  My only slight complaint was how soon Lucas and Marcy exchanged “I love you’s”.  I’m all for insta-lust and even at times insta-love, but this could have waited at least a few pages.  Other than that, this book was great and kept me glued to the pages from start to finish!

Thank you, Ms. Hamilton, for a wonderful and exciting read!  I can’t wait for more of these band of bachelors.

Sharon’s NYT and USA Today bestselling novels are almost-erotic Navy SEAL stories of the SEAL Brotherhood. Her characters follow a spicy road to redemption through passion and true love. All of her SEAL Brotherhood Series are available in audio book. She has maintained an Amazon top 100 author status in Romantic Suspense since the end of 2012.

Her Golden Vampires of Tuscany are not like any vamps you’ve read before, since they don’t have to go to ground, and can walk around in the full light of the sun. Honeymoon Bite, Book 1 of the Golden Vampires of Tuscany Series, has earned the Amazon designation of #1 Gothic Romance. It and Book 2 in the series, Mortal Bite are both available on audio as well.

Her Guardian Angels struggle with the human charges they are sent to save, often escaping their vanilla world of Heaven for the brief human one. You won’t find any of these beings in any Sunday school class. All three books in this popular series are also in print and audio formats.

A lifelong organic gardener, Sharon lives with her husband in the Wine Country of Northern California, where most of her stories take place. When she’s not writing, she’s getting verra verra dirty in the mud, or wandering Farmer’s Markets looking for new Heirloom varieties of vegetables and flowers.

review

Words absolutely fail me right now. My mind is still absorbing everything I read. Courtney has written a perfect twisted and suspenseful story. My review may be short but it’s only because I am still trying to comprehend everything and also, I do not want to give any of the plot away.

If you have not read any of the previous books in this series, do not read this book. You MUST read this series from the beginning. Granted you will still be going “WTF” but in a very odd and effed up way, things will make sense, sorta. Maybe. Once you read this series, you will totally understand what I mean.

This whole series is intoxicating, frustrating and absolutely exceptional. This story is layers upon layers. Everything in this series happens for a reason, but we have no idea what those reasons are. This book is about the supernatural, the mysticism. What is real? What is fabricated?

The end is the beginning. Lux gives us the answers we seek, but in a very distorted and unpredictable way.

I know it was a twisted journey, but don’t forget: I warned you. I told you at the beginning of NOCTE that the story was dark. And it has been.
It’s been twisty and unpredictable, and the end was the beginning and the beginning was the end. I know that, and I did it on purpose.
I wanted to take you down a path where your mind wasn’t your own, just like Calla’s.
-Courtney Cole

I had so many questions and theories going into Lux. I got my answers but in the way I had expected. Courtney wrote this story in a perfectly twisted way. I was lost, confused. Just when I thought I figured something out, only to find out that later on that theory was completely off. This book will keep you turning the pages.

“We’re all a bit mad, aren’t we?”

This series is unlike no others I have read before. It will blow your mind in ways you won’t expect. This series is definitely in my top 5 and will definitely be one that I will reread many times. Courtney said she was brining us something completely different from anything she has ever written before. And let me tell you, this is a complete 180 and she delivered!!!

Take The Storm, Rising Storm Episode 6, by Rebecca Zanetti…ARC Review

Take The Storm releases this Thursday, 10/29

Rising Storm_ep6_patrick-marisol_300dpi

Synopsis:

Secrets, Sex and Scandals …

Welcome to Storm, Texas, where passion runs hot, desire runs deep, and secrets have the power to destroy… Get ready. The storm is coming.

Marisol Moreno has spent her youth taking care of her younger siblings. Now, with her sister, Ginny, in crisis, and her brother in the throes of his first real relationship, she doesn’t have time for anything else. Especially not the overtures of the incredibly compelling Patrick Murphy.

 

My Review:

Take the Storm by Rebecca Zanetti is the 6th episode of Rising Storm and I’m sure I’ve said I before, but whoa…this one may be my fave! I loved it and with so many things headed into a fevered pitch, Ms. Zanetti had me glued to every page!

In this particular episode Patrick Murphy and Marisol Moreno are at a crossroads. Patrick wants more from her. More from their relationship. Marisol would love nothing more than to give that to him but she knows she can’t. She’s got way too much on her plate and he deserved more than that. Of course all of that turmoil led to so many emotions and I was a nervous wreck! I’m really pulling for these two!

Adding to the story is the *ahem* relationship between Senator Rush and Dakota, which I can only assume will be ending in some major disaster, and Brittany Rush’s meddling grandmother who will undoubtedly be making some serious trouble for her and her budding relationship with Marcus. Man, things just keep heating up and getting better!

Thank you, Ms. Zanetti, for adding more fuel to the drama fire and for one heck of a juicy read! I cannot wait to see what’s next!

Trapped in her own storybook life, she books a one-night stand to finally experience her fantasy. But she never counted on Rafe Steele to push her boundaries in both the bedroom…and her heart.
