THE GAMBLER

‘Heads I win, tail’s you lose.’
A new killer is stalking the streets of York, and it’s a killer that Detective Sergeant
Jason Smith can’t figure out.
He drugs his victims, attacks them when they come round, and leaves them with a
song playing on repeat.
But he only kills them much later.
Smith and the team are no strangers to serial killers but the murderer who calls
himself The Gambler is something entirely new.
Who is this psychopath? Why does he leave his victims alive and come back to kill
them later?
And why does he subject them to hours of Kenny Rogers before that?
Smith isn’t a gambling man, but he knows that the odds are stacked against him with
this killer.

Stewart Giles – Author Bio

After reading English at 3 Universities and graduating from none of them,
I set off travelling around the world with my wife, Ann, finally settling in
South Africa, where we still live.

In 2014 Ann dropped a rather large speaker on my head and I came up
with the idea for a detective series. DS Jason Smith was born. Smith, the
first in the series was finished a few months later.

3 years and 8 DS Smith books later, Joffe Books wondered if I would be
interested in working with them. As a self-published author, I agreed.
However, we decided on a new series – the DC Harriet Taylor: Cornwall
series.

The Beekeeper was published and soon hit the number one spot in
Australia. The second in the series, The Perfect Murder did just as well.
I continued to self-publish the Smith series and Unworthy hit the shelves
in 2018 with amazing results. I therefore made the decision to self-
publish The Backpacker which is book 3 in the Detective Harriet Taylor
series which was published in July 2018.

After The Backpacker I had an idea for a totally new start to a series – a
collaboration between the Smith and Harriet thrillers and The Enigma was
born. It brought together the broody, enigmatic Jason Smith and the
more level-headed Harriet Taylor.

The Miranda trilogy is something totally different. A psychological thriller
trilogy. It is a real departure from anything else I’ve written before.
The Detective Jason Smith series continues to grow. I also have another
series featuring an Irish detective who relocated to Guernsey, the
Detective Liam O’Reilly series. There are also 3 stand alone novels.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐ 5 out of 5

Another great story in the Jason Smith series. The team is put to the tests again and this time there are other issues going on with the team.

With the serial killer looming and keeping a list of how they’re doing on their murders, the team is working hard before the list ends and another life is taken. DS Smith has finally found a thread and they are following it, only to have it snapped again. Will they be quick enough to save a life, or will the killer claim another victim, one that’s known by the team and a colleague?

I always enjoy these books and this one was no different. It has the right amount of suspense, team work, great characters, and the ability for the characters to learn more about themselves, their colleagues, and the work that is needed to clear a case. The side stories are always interesting as well. This one brought information that looks to carry on to the next book. Which I cannot wait to read.

I’m always happy to read the DS Jason Smith books.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 out of 5

I was so happy to read Rush’s story. He has had a rough life and it made him doubt himself to much. He’s a loner, self-doubter, and a loveable character. I was so happy that Rush found someone that believes in him and is pushing him to open up and find a way to be who he was supposed to be.

Everly is woman that was raised by the VP of the South Carolina Chapter of The Fury Vipers MC. She’s strong, smart, and independent. When she finally confronts Rush on his lurking, and talks to him, she finds that she’s attracted to him and pushes him to admit why he keeps lurking and following her, other than to watch over her per his president’s orders.

I loved these characters and this chapter. Now I’m ready for somemore Fury Vipers MC in a new chapter to get to know and read.

Ashes by the Shore is LIVE!! And yes, for all the listeners, the audio is live too!! 

This story has:

 reverse grumpy sunshine

 a stubborn bookshop owner 

 a cocky ex-SEAL who loves getting under her skin

 small-town charm, mystery and danger

 a search and rescue team made up of former Navy SEALs

 an amateur investigation that turns deadly

 romantic suspense, banter, tension… and of course a HEA

Polly is determined to solve a mystery. Joel is determined to keep her alive. What could go wrong?

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

I was so excited to have Joel and Polly’s book. They are great characters and their chemistry is off the charts. I love that Joel is patient and shows Polly that he’s the staying kind, and I love how Polly was committed to Joel once she let him in.

This book is full of suspense, chemistry, and page turning danger, and twists. I love how Nyssa Kathryn writes her stories. They’re always a great read and the characters always stay with me after I read the books. The suspense, danger, and twists keep growing through each page. Just when I think I know who the bad guy/girl is, something else happens and makes me rethink my options. I love that Nyssa Kathryn keeps me on my toes trying to figure out who the person is wreaking all the havoc in this small town of Deep River.

I am anxious for more of this series and more information on town’s history and what happened over the years. I love the characters and their life stories as well as the what’s happening in Deep River and the towns people.

Title: Break Inside

 

Ivy

Hunting down my biological father wasn’t supposed to lead me to a broody, sexy, triplet biker.

Ryan “Nickel” Garrison ticks all of my boxes, but he prevents me from talking to my bio ‘dad.’

Determined to outsmart Nickel, I never expected to be cornered at gunpoint…or for the sexy biker to put himself between me and the gunman.

We’re captured, knocked out, and taken miles away.

Stranded in the middle of nowhere, Nickel and I work together to escape, only things go from bad to worse.

The threat looms and Nickel insists on keeping me safe even if it means I’m thrust into the world of the Riot Motorcycle Club.

I have no choice but to trust Nickel and his club to neutralize the danger.

Soon I realize, the biggest threat isn’t from criminals, it’s from a man who will break inside my heart.

                                                       

Karen Renee is the author of the Riot Motorcycle Club, Beta, and O-Town series of books. She once crunched Nielsen ratings data but these days she brings her imagination to life by writing books. She has wanted to be a writer since she was very young, but it’s taken the last twenty plus years for her to amass enough courage and overall life experience to bring that dream to life. Some of those life experiences came from the wonderful world of advertising, banking, and local television media research. She is a proud wife and mother, and a Jacksonville native. When she’s not at the soccer field or cooking, you can find her at her local library, the grocery store, in her car jamming out to some tunes, or hibernating while she writes and/or reads books.

My Review:⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 out of 5

Great story and characters.

Ryan and Ivy are great. Ivy’s run in with Ryan though is not what she expected. When he blocks her from entering the bar to find her biological father, she is surprised to find out that Ryan wasn’t the only one blocking her way. He’s a triplet and luckily for her, there’s only two that are males and their other triplet is a woman.

Ryan “Nickle” Garrison doesn’t know why this woman is making him angry looking for Lark. He’s not a man that is looking for a relationship, but for some reason this woman, Ivy, is making him crazy. They have a bit of things to work on, but they’ll both find out that the reason they make each other crazy is due to the attraction.

I’m looking forward to the next book in the Next Generation Series, the characters are great and the books are action and suspense filled.
