"If you like reading thrillers, thrillers that include terrorists, this book is for you. If you love satisfying stories about strong women, even better! The heroine of this one is a young woman marine, one gutsy gal!"

Who’s Watching Who is such an enigmatic but revealing title. Who’s Watching Who Watch Who Else might be as provocative title. Who’s Watching Who could easily be a simple domestic break-up story, but Kennedy wove a cruelly intricate thriller deep into the story. And the ending twist was one that even I didn’t expect. Alfred Hitchcock would have loved this twisty, shifty plot. I know I did. As you read Who’s Watching Who keep a lot of mental notes. They will pay off with a lot of Ah-Ha moments. I champion any character that breaks out of her ‘beat-down’ shell to take control of his or her life. Clare breaks out so well. Kennedy is so good. Jeff Bailey, author of Not On My Watch.
The Blue Beneath the Mountain is a children’s/preteen adventure story by the Australian author L. A. Hearn and was a wonderful read. Young Rayna loves visiting her grandmother because grandma lives up against a mountain, a mountain with caves to explore. The caves are one of her favorite playgrounds, until she sees something unusual, the blue light. She must investigate the blue light. What could go wrong. The mystery is reminiscent of the Hardy Boys mysteries that I grew up reading. While this is a children’s story, I’m 77 and I enjoyed it. There is an element of Sci-fi (strong element), a corporate conspiracy (crazy bad guys), and of course the strange ‘being’ hiding in the shadows. Beefed up a little, The Blue Beneath the Mountain would have made an excellent 007/Bond movie. There is more here than initially meets the eye for the young readers. Five big stars.
Saving the Senate One Puff at a Time – The Conspiracy. I liked The Adventures of Kushman and Savage. It was an excellent conspiracy thriller right up my alley, well-conceived and right out of contemporary news casts. Now, the heroes were a bit unconventional. They were not trained CIA operatives. They were not efficient ex-navy seals. They were a couple of, well, hippies, chasing the perfect comedy-club gig through a cloud of happy-smoke. Were they successful? You betcha. And you’ll never guess who gets shot. No, not big pharma. The presentation and theme of story were so different from just about any other conspiracy thriller that I found it unique and refreshing. The history and description of the struggle to legalize marijuana was expertly blended into the main story and supported the characters really well. I have just one comment for Christopher Henry Thomas: Cowabunga, Dude, five stars.
I just finished a binge read on the last two thirds of Who Are You by R.T Lund , absolutely superb. Books like Who Are You is why I follo...
