HER NEWEST RELEASE:







The Blurb:



When the one thing you live for is taken from you, do you let it go or do you fall?


Jade, like any other student at Brushwood High, awaits the start of the school year with a certain measure of dread. Worse, she is being threatened by a voice that only she can hear—a voice that lurks at the edges of her awareness, haunting her and warning her of something unknown. She has always been able to count on her two best friends, Claire and Nate, but can she confide in them now? About this? Would they even believe her?


Life takes a turn for the better when she meets Avan, a darkly handsome new student who, somehow, seems to drown out the voice and make her feel at ease.


But Jade soon comes to realize that good things don’t last forever. When everything spirals out of control, she is shattered by something she never saw coming. Dazed and despairing, she must now overcome tragedy and embrace her true existence and a new but dangerous love.



Will she be able to save herself and those she loves, before it’s too late? Or will she let the surrounding darkness consume her?

For Nothing, by Nicholas Denmon

DESCRIPTION
Undercover cop Alex Vaughn goes deeper than ever into the organized crime family of Buffalo, NY. Motivated by justice and revenge, he seeks out the assassin that laid his friend Jack low.

Professional killer Rafael Rontego traverses the deadly politics of Buffalo’s mafia underbelly. In a city whose winter can be just as deadly as those wielding power, Rontego tries to stay ahead of the game.

Their two worlds collide in this epic thriller that takes the reader on a search for self, justice, and truth. 


MY TAKE...Take it to the Mattresses!
For all the Mafia thriller junkies out there...FOR NOTHING is your "fix".

Able to compete with Goodfellas, Sopranos, and The Godfather, Nicolas Denmon has created a story that will have you on the edge of your seat, and unable to put it down. 

What first attracted me to this book was the cover. The clever art caught my eye, and as I'm a big believer in judging a book by its cover, I knew the contents would be just as intriguing. 

I was right!

When I read the sample, I couldn't get enough...I was hooked! The author's description of every scene and every emotion put me in the center of the pages of this book, and at times, I wondered if it was me who was standing over the body or stepping into the dark alley...

Rafael is a ruthless killer, but Alex is out for revenge. At the center of everything, war is being waged between the Mafia families. Never a dull moment in this action-packed thriller.

Very well organized--no pun intended!

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Mafia wars and bloodshed at its best.

Looking forward to book two. 

Baggage Claim, by Amanda Tru

DESCRIPTION:

Montana native, Rachel Saunders, is looking forward to her all-expense paid weekend trip to New York. But, when her luggage is lost and she is accosted by an infuriating Homeland Security agent named Dawson Tate, events take a dangerous turn. Now, can she and Dawson elude their enemies and prevent a terrorist attack before the bomb in their possession is detonated in the center of Manhattan--all while keeping their obvious attraction to one another in check? Find out in this Romantic Thriller.

MY TAKE:

Not my usual choice of book, but I'm glad I read this! In fact, once I started reading, I couldn't stop until I found out what happened next...can't wait for the next book. 

And that Dawson...great job of character development, Amanda Tru! Dawson Tate is the exact type of man I like in a hero. Forceful, yet gentle. 

Well thought-out plot, and a clean romance. I laughed, I gasped, and even had several "awwww" moments when I read this. What more could you want in a book? 

I highly recommend this book to those who enjoy romantic thrillers, and even if it's not your usual type...give it a try. I'm glad I did.
