Jeff Bailey Reviews The Author by Lyn Balmer

 

Crime novelist, Launa Moon wants nothing more than to live a quiet life with her cat Fonzie in a quiet mountain town, Miller Creek. Is that too much to ask. Someone evil thinks so and starts to act out scenes from her books. Can she survive? I found The Author to be an intriguing, twisty story, well-conceived and well written. The creative mind of a crime novelist has always fascinated me. But, when it is a crime novelist writing about a crime novelist., what could be better? I liked the read completely and highly recommend The Author by Lyn Balmer. Well done.

Jeff Bailey Reviews Steve Becker's Pirate (Tides Of Fortune #1)

 

The time period, setting, and genre of Pirate are just what they sound like. A real swashbuckler. While Pirate is a pirate story, it is also a fascinating glimpse into life in early Florida. The author is knowledgeable about sailing and life in a swampland. I liked the characters; they are entirely believable in a historical fiction sort of way. I mean, pirates, sea battles, a femme fatale, and treasure, what more could one want? Pirate by Steve Becker was a good and entertaining read.

Joy Neal Kidney Reviews Not On MY Watch by Jeff Bailey

 

"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!"

Jeff Bailey Reviews Buster The Bridger Mountain Bear by Wayne Edwards

Buster The Bridger Mountain Bear was excellent. My great grandson loved it. He was so into the story that he kept making comments like, ‘He shouldn’t have put his head in there’ and I’m glad he has friends.’ The artwork is spectacular. In the story, Gabby Gopher finds her friend, Buster the Bear, with his head stuck in a log. She gets help from Oliver Wendell Owl, III, the wisest animal on the Mountain. Oliver quickly makes a plan, but it's clear that the animals will only get Buster's head unstuck if they all work together. Some of the most charming characters since Winnie, The Poo and T’ger. My great grandson thinks you will like it.

Jeff Bailey Reviews Who's Watching Who by Kerry Kennedy

 

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.

Jeff Bailey Reviews Dead Silence by S. A. Barnes

 In DeadSilence by SA Barnes, Claire Kovalick and crew are at the end of their mission in space when they receive an obsolete distress beacon and go to check it out. They find a luxury space cruise liner that went missing 20 years ago derelict in space, a ghost ship. They decide a salvage claim is theirs for the taking. But, why is the ship so far out in space? What killed all the occupants? They decide to board the ship. What could go wrong? Some readers class this book as a ‘horror’ story. I didn’t get that at all. I found it to be a high class Sci-Fi with an intricate, twisty conspiracy story line. But then again, I’m a big Sci-Fi, technobot nerd. I, personally, highly recommend the read. This is Barnes at her best. I can just see the movie version.

Jeff Bailey Reviews The Blue Beneath The Mountain by LA Hearn

 

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.
