Jeff Bailey Reviews Out of the Blue by Esther Irwin


I enjoyed the different POV's in Out Of The Blue. The characters are colorful and the emotions high. Good clean romance in this is an excellent pick. In OutOf The Blue, two very different worlds collide, a rancher and a movie star. There is heat and passion between the two, but is handled beautifully by Irwin. This makes it all the more real.

The unexpected twists and turns were perfectly placed. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what happened next. I couldn't put it down. Well done and five stars to both E.L. Irwin and Out Of The Blue.

Jeff Bailey Reviews Afterglow by Troy Kotanides

I found Afterglow to be a challenging read. I like a read that challenges and surprises me as I read. Much of Afterglow is a deep dive into the subconscious of a damaged mind and I found the development intriguing. I also found myself wondering if Kotanides was a psychiatrist or psychologist. He sure seems to have captured the ravings of a lost mind. Again, a challenging read for us lovers of challenging reads. Afterglow – five stars.

Lynette Hearn Reviews Not On My Watch by Jeff Bailey


 Jeff Bailey's Not on my Watch, highlights Jeff's knowledge of nuclear weapons and military procedures. It's helped him create a chillingly real tale of homegrown terrorism. This well-written thriller is fast-paced with a strong and courageous lead character in Cassandra Sing. This book was my introduction to this genre which I enjoyed very much.

Jeff Bailey Reviews Dark Reign - A Mafia Romance by Kerry Kennedy

 I very much enjoyed Dark Reign – A Mafia Romance by Kerry Kennedy. A true romance set in the world of a mafia boss doesn’t seem too compatible, but Kennedy blends the story perfectly. Take away his story as a Mafia boss and she portrays the romance beautifully. Take away the romance and we have the God Father. As with all great thrillers I ask, ‘What could go wrong?’ Each of Kennedy’s books is different from all her other books. One aspect of Dark Reign that I particularly liked is that the book is written in the First Person, but not always the same person. She has a knack for capturing the thought process of each character that she represents with a spooky precision. Great presentation, great story, quite the thriller, and very definitely an adult read – Dark Reign – A Mafia Romance by Kerry Kennedy. For me, five stars.

Jeff Bailey reviews Cloud Atlas by Lindsey McLaughlin


 I am a reader that is always looking for something different; presentation, back story, etc. Well, with Open Atlas, I found it. Lindsey wrote a subtly brilliant book in my opinion. The main character is part of a large program that sends people back in time to gather bits and pieces of information about the past that will be brought to the present and added to a comprehensive database that will be used for research. The theme is presented with a series of flash scenes that don’t seem to make any sense, at first. I kept reading because I was curious where it would all go. Then I realized that a small part of each scene was presenting the objective of the database and the research. Conflicting groups want different results. Should we change the past without knowing how the present will be changed. Should we learn from the past and attempt to not repeat the same mistakes. Interesting. I’ll just let you decide the ‘past’ and the ‘future, for yourself. Lindsey Mclaughlin and Open Atlas: five stars.

Jeff Bailey reviews Hell's Corner by David Baldacci


 David Baldacci’s Hell’s Corner was deliciously twisty and complex at the start, just the way I like a good thriller. It was a slow burn with a masterfully thought-out slow reveal. The smallest clue could be the case breaker or at the very least a resolve for some point of mystery. I’ve read several Baldacci novels. Any of them would be a reason for me to be a Baldacci fan and possibly binge read his books. I can only imagine how his mind works. An explosion in the park across the street from The White House, possibly the most secure and protected plot of land in the U. S.? What could go wrong? As with all Baldacci books, five big stars.

Jeff Bailey Reviews I Wake The Dead In Westerlin Park by Ayden Lockwood

 Not too many things are better than well done paranormal fiction, and I Wake the Dead in Westerlin Park by Ayden Lockwood delivers. It’s sharp and well-paced. There are no lags in the pace of the story. The added atmosphere of the old south (think Fried Green Tomatoes) is rich with a South Florida flavor. It’s spooky without needing a bloody hand reaching out of a cabinet. I think that the subtle humor adds a nice balance. The main characters, Holly and Nick, feel like old friends, and have a believable chemistry. As they are cleaning the tombstones of Holly’s family graveyard in Florida, they are noticed and come under the protection of two of Holly’s family ghosts. Ayden inserts his love for the splendor of the ocean, the magic of film and theater, and the joy of lifelong learning into his stories. I mean anybody that likes Hockey can’t be all bad. Five full stars.

Jeff Bailey Reviews The Positive Trait Thesaurus by Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglisi.


 Conspiracy thrillers are my all-time favorite genre to read partly because I’m a conspiracy thriller writer and partly because I just like a well thought-out, twisty, conspiracy. AJ Blanc delivers. In Pandora’s Gift, several government intelligence agencies are trying to take the lead in the investigation into the death of an American intelligence operative. No, it’s not just another unsupported rivalry between agencies. The operative worked for each agency, on the same project, but from different perspectives. The urgency stems from the possibility of releasing ‘Skynet’s’ evil big brother (look it up). The order: destroy everything immediately, if you can find it.

The rivalry was imminently believable. The characters were as solid and real as any I’ve met in my reading. The premise of Pandora’s Gift was so contemporary that the whole subject matter seems to be in the news every day. Lastly, AJ Blanc’s novel seems to ask the question, “What could go wrong?’ Way to take events out of today’s news and craft a superb thriller.
I highly recommend AJ Blanc and all his thrillers. I’m on to another one. Five stars.
