“This book has all the twists and turns that make a thriller worth reading” – Amazon

Victoria’s life isn’t as perfect as it seems. But with two homicide detectives on her doorstep, it’s about to get a lot worse.

Still reeling from the shocking discovery that her husband is having a passionate affair with his real estate client, Victoria struggles to process the mind-blowing news that Nick’s lover is dead—brutally murdered in cold blood on the very same evening she uncovered the truth.

And now two detectives are on her doorstep, waiting to question both of them. Is she a suspect?

With little hard evidence and no shortage of suspects with “killer motives,” Detectives Jack Stark and Lexi Sanchez are under intense pressure to solve the high-profile murder case that rocks the picturesque village of Tarrytown just as the town is gearing up for the area’s annual Halloween festivities and an influx of tourists.

As Victoria sets out to clear herself and find out the truth, she’s faced with two terrifying possibilities—either her husband is a murderer or someone is out to get them.

Conflicted about her marriage and emotionally raw, she sets out to find the truth about what happened that night.

But does she really want to know?

Brekke Elle is a word tinker, coffee drinker, and has clumsy thumbs (or so she claims to excuse typos!). A Georgia peach living in the heart of North Carolina, Brekke has traveled and lived around the world – including attending the University of Cambridge in England, interning for an NGO in rural Cambodia, and working at a university in Northern California. Along the way she has collected stories (and a bit of bad poetry too). Her first real desire to become a writer (more than just wanting to be Jo March when she was 9) was after reading SABRIEL by Garth Nix. It was the first world she ever wanted to fall sideways into, and she has been recreating those lush worlds for readers ever since.

When she’s not losing herself in her imaginary universes, Brekke spends most of her time chasing her four kids (including twin toddlers!), canning up homecooked chicken broth, and volunteering at a neighborhood community garden. Her favorite color is black (no, really), her favorite fairy tale is Beauty and the Beast (preferable one of Robin McKinley’s retellings), and her favorite drink is coffee until 3pm, then it’s a full bodied Pinot Noir.

I should feel safe here. I don’t.

The Hospital

by Leslie Wolfe

Genre: Psychological Thriller 

I should feel safe here. I don’t.

I thought I had it all. The loving husband I married on a beach, sand between my toes. The career I fought for. The beautiful home tucked away between pines and mountains.

But my perfect life crumbled when my husband betrayed me. And then it started. Everywhere I went, someone was following me… But no one believed me. Were they right? Was I losing my mind?

Then, one day, I wake up with a searing pain in my head, and only the sound of sirens and distant conversations to pierce my confusion.

I’ve been attacked. I’m in the hospital.

It should be reassuring. But all I can think is: I’m trapped.

I must escape. But I know I can’t trust anyone, and I’ll do whatever it takes to save myself.

You will never see the twists coming in this jaw-on-the-floor gasp-out-loud rollercoaster from the no.1 bestselling author of The Surgeon. Fans of Freida McFadden, Lisa Jewell and Shari Lapena won’t be able to put it down!

Rue the Slay Book Tour & Giveaway (7/29 to 8/5)

Posted on July 31, 2024 by Sahara Foley

Meet Rue Channing. She’s just the witch to finish what her ancestors started.

Rue the Slay

Laurel Haven Witches Book 1

by ReGina Welling

Genre: Paranormal Women’s Fiction

 Three hundred years ago, four witches went into the forest to cast a spell of protection against the evil creeping into their town but they were too late.

Today, Rue Channing never sees it coming, and she should because seeing is her special power. Still, who would have expected to be kidnapped and hauled off to a small coastal town in Maine?

But that is exactly what happened. Now, Rue, a lover of order and strict routines, is dragged out of her comfort zone and into a new life in the small, coastal town of Laurel Haven.

Things could not be worse, she thinks, until she meets the man next door and decides they could. Ry McFadden is the most infuriating man on the planet. He’s a study in contrasts; grumpy yet generous, intensely private, but somehow open. Rue can’t think what to do with him, except she can, and that just makes things worse.

The problem is, Ry McFadden just might be part of Rue’s destiny as she learns she’s been brought to Laurel Haven to finish what her ancestors started.

I live in Maine with my husband, a silly flufferpup named Dash, and a crazy cat named Cricket. I write full time and also create mixed media artwork when I get the chance.

When I was three, my mom brought home a new book and when she went to read it to me, I read it to her instead. That was when she realized I’d learned to read. Since then I couldn’t even estimate the number of books I’ve read. It’s a lot!

It’s not even August yet, and last night I heard a cricket.  Actually, I thought I heard one in June, but I convinced myself I didn’t.  In some cultures, a cricket in the house brings lucky.  I always get crickets in my apartment during the latter part of summer, which is when they usually make an appearance, but I don’t think they’ve brought me any luck.  What’s really strange, is when I hear them in my bathtub drain.  Why are you even in the pipe?  You aren’t gonna meet your mate down there.  😂🤣

My Book Review of Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth, and the Battle for Our Democracy by Kash Pramod Patel 

Posted on July 30, 2024 by Sahara Foley

Description:

The highest levels of government have been infiltrated by an anti-democratic Deep State that can be defeated by refocusing our national security mission and relentlessly defending the truth.

A sinister cabal of corrupt law enforcement personnel, intelligence agents, and military officials at the highest levels of government plotted to overthrow a president. Even after they failed, they continue to secretly pull the levers of power without any accountability to the American people. This isn’t the synopsis of a fictional spy thriller. This is what is actually happening in the United States government.

In Government Gangsters, Kash Patel—a former top official in the White House, the Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community, and the Department of Justice—pulls back the curtain on the Deep State, revealing the major players and tactics within the permanent government bureaucracy, which has spent decades stripping power away from the American people and their elected leaders. Based on his firsthand knowledge, Patel reveals how we can defeat the Deep State, reassert self-government, and restore our democracy.

My Review:

I used to wear ‘rose-colored glasses’ and considered myself a Democrat.  Then, in the early 1990’s. I read Behold A Pale Horse by William Cooper. My late husband had already read the book and warned me about reading it.  He said it would change my perception of our government and the world.  He actually didn’t want me to read it, but, of course, I did.  And he was right.  Once you open Pandora’s Box you can’t put it back.  Sadly, a lot of people don’t want to know the ‘truth’ because they then become responsible for that knowledge.

I preface my review with the above because back then, we didn’t have a name for the evil that had infected our government.  It was They this and They that.  People shook their heads, thought we were nuts, and ignored us.  

Thanks to Kash, and other people like him, they have pulled back the curtain.  And it ain’t pretty.  Are you ready for the truth?  THEY are  The Deep State.  Kash is not some whistleblower or someone spewing sour grapes, like others who have talked against Trump.  He didn’t even know Trump when he became involved with the corruption of the Deep State and how it had infiltrated our government offices. 

Especially, the military.  That is a scary thing.  Elitists controlling our military complex.  And they aren’t voted in.  They just bribe and  coerce people to keep them in line. 

This book is well-written, easy to understand, and comes with lots of proof of what he claims.  Kash did an outstanding job getting the details while being stone-walled by the people who fear the truth being told to the American people.

If you want to know what really happened with Russia Gate, and the days prior to and of the January 6th protest, you need to read this book.  Otherwise, stay blind to who is really in control of your lives and our great country.  Let yourselves become enslaved to their petty whims and stay in constant fear of each other.
