Silent Horizons by Chad Robichaux, Jack Stewart

  


He’s gone behind enemy lines countless times before. But this time, he’s going alone.

Foster Quinn is more than a former Force Recon Marine. He’s a husband. A father. A faithful brother to his teammates. When one of them is killed during a high-risk operation to track down a dangerous arms dealer, Foster struggles to balance his roles as a dedicated family man and an elite warrior. Despite his inner demons—or maybe because of them—Foster can’t walk away from his brothers.

Then he gets the chance to step in where his best friend left off, assuming a cover identity in Iran that will get him close to the arms dealer and pave the way for a critical mission. On his own in a new country, he must carefully choose who to trust. An Iranian taxi driver. An American hunter. A British oil executive. One wrong move could spell disaster. Not just for the mission, but for Foster.

The clock is ticking. A team of tier-one warriors is set to plummet through the night sky in enemy territory. They’ve trained for this. But their success hinges on just one man.

My Review


 At first I found this book a little hard to get into, a lot of military terms. I'm glad I stuck with it all the way to the end. This did become a page turner for me as I needed answers!
Once a Marine, always a Marine, came to mind while I reading this. Sacrifice, sometime the ultimate for ones country. We need to stop and realize how much our military give to us for our freedoms!
This is story about the loss of a dear friend, and a lot about thwarting the evil to take down our country. I even felt myself tense up with the main character entering Iran, not for me!
I loved how the seals enter the story, and how they endeavor to take down the bad guys.
I was surprised, don't know why, by whom some of the traitors were, and makes me sad!
This is a non-stop action read, and you will soon be ducking bullets!

Where the Rivers Merge by Mary Alice Monroe

 

1908: The Lowcountry of South Carolina is at the cusp of change. Mayfield, the grand estate held for generations by the Rivers family, is the treasured home of young Eliza. A free spirit, she refuses to be confined by societal norms and spends her days exploring the vast property, observing wildlife, and riding horses. But the Great War, coastal storms, and family turmoil bring unexpected challenges to Eliza, putting her on a collision course with the patriarchal traditions of a bygone era.

1988: At 88, Eliza is the scion of the Rivers/DeLancey family. She’s fought a lifetime to save her beloved Mayfield and is too independent and committed to quietly retire and leave the fate of the estate to her greedy son. She must make decisions that will assure the future of the land and her family—or watch them both be split apart. 

Set against the evocative landscape of the twentieth-century Lowcountry, Where the Rivers Merge is a dramatic and sweeping multigenerational family story of unyielding love, lessons learned, profound sacrifices, and the indomitable spirit of a woman determined to persevere in the face of change in order to protect her family legacy and the land she loves.

My Review


 

The author drew me into this story and didn't let go, from beginning to end! From when she was a child, to now an elderly woman, we follow Eliza Rivers. What a life this amazing women led, and we see how she gives her heart and soul to Mayfield.
I will warn you that I was disappointed in the ending, but the author has a second book coming that completes and gives the answers to the questions I had pending!
There is a lot of heartbreak here, some really bad, and some innocent decisions that go very wrong. Then again that is life, but there is family strife again as this book ends, and actually when this book began.
I recommend this page turner, and am looking forward to Rivers' End!

The Last Secret Agent: My Life as a Spy Behind Nazi Lines by Pippa Latour, Jude Dobson

 


From a unique and singular voice comes the incredible true story of the last surviving undercover British female operative in WW2. Pippa Latour parachuted into occupied France in 1944 to conduct sabotage and subversion behind enemy lines. Selling soap to German soldiers and hiding codes on a piece of ribbon, she sent back crucial information about troop positions in the lead up to D-Day, and continued her work until Paris was liberated. From her childhood as an orphan in South Africa to her years as an undercover agent, Pippa's story is that of a woman determined to honor her principles and risk her life to fight against the greatest evil of the 20th century.

The Last Secret Agent is a posthumously published memoir, co-written with journalist Jude Dobson. Pippa was decorated highly for her actions, including being made a Member of the Order of the British Empire and receiving the Légion d’Honneur in France. For years, Pippa kept her involvement in the war effort secret from everyone, including her family, but for the first time, her story can now be told in full.

About The Author

The Last Secret Agent was published a few months after Pippa passed away, age 102, and instantly become a best-seller. Jude holds the film rights for Pippa's remarkable story and is moving her writing efforts to producing a screenplay. 

 

My Review


I loved this read, she was such a brave young women, and I felt like I was walking in her shoes.
We begin this book at the very beginning of her life, and yes, we see what made her what she was.
Her life was not easy, and there is a lot of tragedy, but their were people who stepped up and she had an amazing upbringing.
This woman and others like her are owed so much, they saved so many lives and helped win the war, and often went unrecognized!
I loved that this amazing woman Pippa Latour is being recognized, she was so smart and gave so much to the world! Many thanks to Jude Dobson for this wonderful book!

It’s summer in Wings Falls, New York and Samantha Davies is geared up for the annual trout tournament sponsored by Al Gorman, owner of the Sport’s Shop. Sam, along with her Southern Belle cousin, Candie Parker-Hogan, are determined to beat the pants off their significant others, Sam’s new fiancé, Hank Johnson, a detective on Wings Falls police force and Mark Hogan, Candie’s husband. The ladies feel they have a secret weapon-they learned from the best fisherman in Hainted Hollar Tennessee, Grandpop Parker. Sam once won a trophy for the largest fish in the Fins and Tails Fishing Derby.

To Sam’s surprise instead of reeling in the day’s biggest catch, she “hooked” into the body of the town’s most vocal activist, Luna Wheeler.

Raylene Carrigan, owner of a traveling doggie daycare Sam uses for her lovable dachshund, Porkchop, becomes a prime suspect, when it becomes known Luna tried to shut down the town’s doggie park she depends on for the pets in her care. Since Sam has successfully helped solve murders in the past, Raylene begs her for help to prove her innocent.

Sam reluctantly agrees but knows her fiancé won’t be happy with her involvement in yet another murder case.

Determined to help Porkchop’s buddy, Sam starts digging for clues only to discover that Luna, with her over-zealous demands to many of the town’s businesses to recycle, upset more than a few of her friends. Can Sam land Luna’s murderer before she gets ‘hooked’ by the killer?

Why I Love “A Little Princess”

Illuminary begins a fantasy trilogy loosely inspired by A Little Princess. This classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a book I’ve read almost annually since I was a preteen, with some years containing two or more readings. It is a story that never fails to enchant me no matter how often I read it, and it carries for me the same magic that Anne of Green Gables has for many other girls.

Yet unlike Anne, who endears herself to almost all who meet her, the young heroine of A Little Princess, Sara Crewe, is known to be a somewhat divisive character—the kind you either adore or hate the moment you meet her, much like the characters within the story itself. So, what draws me back to this young protagonist again and again?

The reasons are many. I love her imagination, her intelligence, her ability for the perfect comeback, her courage in the face of horrifying circumstances, her uniqueness—all characteristics that I’ve tried to endow upon the heroine of Illuminary to some extent.

But I think the thing I hope my heroine in Illuminary emulates most is Sara’s unshakeable character. For Sara is a principled young lady, and no matter what is thrown at her, she holds onto those principles without wavering.

Often in literature, it seems like the good, principled characters, when they are faced with great difficulty, end up struggling with their principles, debating whether they are good or worthwhile. In some stories, those characters even outright reject those principles for a time.

While these are good and needed stories to tell, sometimes they are portrayed as the only accurate arcs for such characters—as if characters holding onto their principles and maintaining their integrity is somehow unrealistic. A charge originating, I suppose, from those too sweet, too perfect characters found in morality tales.

Yet while such characters of integrity and principle might be rare, Scripture shows us that hard times don’t have to shake one’s principles or undermine one’s integrity. Both Joseph in the book of Genesis and Daniel in the book bearing his name exemplify this kind of life. And we see this same principled integrity in Sara Crewe.

It is not that she is some perfectly sweet heroine. Sara has a temper, struggles with some uncharitable thoughts toward others, and even misjudges another character terribly. Nor does she fail to grow. The Sara at the end of the story is definitely a more mature, thoughtful, and understanding girl than the one who began the tale.

But the core essence of her character—her politeness, generosity, and compassion as summarized by her wish to act like a princess—does not change in the story. The core characteristics that make Sara Crewe, Sara Crewe, are unshaken. They may grow and expand with the character, but these essential attributes characterize her throughout the entire story. Even in her darkest moments she holds fast to them.

That is both hopeful and encouraging. For we all will face hard and difficult times. A Little Princess doesn’t deny that reality. Rather, it says that those hard times don’t have to destroy us and that holding onto one’s integrity, one’s faith, is possible.

For me, that is what makes Sara Crewe and A Little Princess truly magical—and what I hope will make Illuminary magical for its readers.

From bestselling cozy mystery author Joanna Campbell Slan comes a thrilling new installment in the Friday Night Mystery Club series, featuring a group of female amateur sleuths.

Decatur, Illinois/1986– In this small Midwestern town, everyone has something to hide, from Japanese business interests eyeing a piece of property to an angry sharpshooter harboring a murderous obsession. Meanwhile, working women struggle to make their way in a man’s world, and their primary opposition might well be…other women.

Cragan Collins has a lot on her plate: a demanding job as an advertising rep, a complicated love life, and an upcoming public speaking contest. But when a shooter targets a performer at one of her ad accounts, Fast Freddy’s Gentleman’s Club, and leaves a young dancer critically injured, Cragan and her mystery-solving friends spring into action. They suspect that Pru, the club’s star performer and their housemate, may be the real target — and the danger to her is far from over.

This page-turning cozy mystery features female amateur sleuths who love reading mysteries. The book blends humor, romance, and suspense while tackling themes of workplace equality and acceptance.

Perfect for fans of Wendy Delaney, Elaine Viets, and Tonya Kappes, or anyone who enjoys mysteries with a side helping of social commentary, a smidgeon of humor, and a dash of romance.

This is Book 4 in the Friday Night Mystery Club series, but can be read as a standalone novel.

Excerpt

Pop! The sound exploded the frigid night air.

A backfire, thought Chantilly.

A firecracker, thought Pru, standing not far from her friends.

Weird, thought Taffy. She intended to get inside her car, but her legs didn’t cooperate. Instead, they buckled.

Chantilly made a diving grab and caught the other girl before she hit the ground. Being stronger and taller, Chantilly was able to ease Taffy to the pavement. While doing so, she noticed how white Taffy’s face looked. Was it a result of the sodium lamp? No, it was deathly pale.

“Taffy, you okay?” asked Chantilly, lightly slapping Taffy’s cheeks.

“Leg,” Taffy moaned.

Chantilly ran her hands down the other woman’s body. She stopped when she discovered a warm wetness. Lifting her ivory-colored leather gloves toward the parking lamp, Chantilly gasped in horror. Blood dripped down her arm.
