Historia
Union soldier John Chenneville suffered a traumatic head wound in battle. His recovery took the better part of a year as he struggled to regain his senses and mobility. By the time he returned home, the Civil War was over, but tragedy awaited. John’s beloved sister and her family had been brutally murdered. Their killer goes by many names. He fought for the North in the late unpleasantness, and wore a badge in the name of the law. But the man John knows as A. J. Dodd is little more than a rabid animal, slaughtering without reason or remorse, needing to be put down.

Even Better Than The First
Revisado: 03-16-25
What a great series so far! Both are well written and the second may be even better. There’s much to praise about the writing. I loved the pace and style. Especially, the unique storylines. Just when you think it’s going off the rails, the writer neatly detours. The entertaining characters, and narration by one of the best helps too

Loved everything about it but the sexy banter was the best. Narrator was perfect for this story. Laughed out loud more than once. Nico is a new favorite. Looking forward to the next.

Having enjoyed quite a few of Lorraine Heath’s books, I can say this is my favorite. Swift has a way of engaging a reader to become invested in the happily ever after.

Historia
Over two grim nights in Los Angeles, the young followers of Charles Manson murdered seven people, including the actress Sharon Tate, then eight months pregnant. With no mercy and seemingly no motive, the Manson Family followed their leader's every order. Twenty years ago, when journalist Tom O'Neill was reporting a magazine piece about the murders, he worried there was nothing new to say. Then he unearthed shocking evidence of a cover-up behind the "official" story, including police carelessness, legal misconduct, and potential surveillance by intelligence agents.

Outstanding
Revisado: 01-09-25
Recently, I heard Tom’s name and his book mentioned with reverence on a podcast regarding MKUltra. The podcaster wasn’t wrong.
The details on Manson and MKUltra were fascinating. Prior to this book, my interest on Manson and family was pretty low. The CIA’s mind control program was the draw. My favorite part? Learning about Tom’s journey. That was what kept my interest most.

Historia
The three novels that make up The Forsyte Saga chronicle the ebbing social power of the commercial upper-middle class Forsyte family through three generations, beginning in Victorian London during the 1880s and ending in the early 1920s. Galsworthy's masterly narrative examines not only their fortunes but also the wider developments within society, particularly the changing position of women.

SO GOOD
Revisado: 12-31-24
This is a book I wish to have read years ago. What an extraordinarily captivating story! Beautifully written and performed, this may be in my top 5 favorites. This was an incredibly indelible story I simply could not put down. With lyrical prose both memorable and quotable, it was a bit sad for this moving saga to come to an end.
- "The possessive instinct never stands still." This phrase captures the essence of the Forsyte family's core trait, their possessiveness, in a simple yet profound way.
- "Summer—summer—summer! The soundless footsteps on the grass!" This line evokes the serene, almost ethereal quality of summer, emphasizing the quiet, natural progression of time.
- "To every man his little cross, till he dies; and then he is at peace." A reflection on the burdens of life, suggesting a poetic resignation to human struggles.
- "The beauty of trees, the softness of the air, the fragrance of the garden, steal into the very fibre of those who live near nature." This sentence paints a vivid picture of how nature can deeply influence and comfort the human spirit.
- "Love has no age, no limit; and no death." Perhaps one of the most romantic and enduring lines from the saga, encapsulating the timeless and boundless nature of love.
Those phrases you replay in your mind, appreciating the simplicity and impact of words so beautifully written.
This was my first time reading or knowing of John Galsworthy’s writing. If he has written anything else so well, I look forward to possibly enjoying his other works.

Epic
Revisado: 12-24-24
Pretty epic. Wished it was much longer. Didn’t want it to end. Interested to see how the did the movie now.
A story of survival that will stay with you long after the last chapter. It was a journey that far exceeded my expectations.
Even though the reviews were good, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Based on a true story, it read like a novel. So often these stories based on real life end up feeling so embellished it ruins the experience for me, but not so here.

As a boy, Alexander dreamed of matching the heroic feats of Achilles. At 18 he led the Macedonian cavalry to a stunning victory against the Greeks. By 25 he had crushed the Persians in three monumental battles and was the master of the greatest empire the world had ever seen. Men began to call him a god. But behind the legend was another, more complex story.

Many of us have read a Christian Cameron book (or 10+) previously. Cameron knows how to write great historical fiction. This one is special.

Historia
It is 1781, and the British-held American port of Yorktown on the Chesapeake Bay is under siege. Pounded by the American colonists on land and the deadly warships of their French allies at sea, the once proud city is in flames and near ruin. But on the horizon, the King's own fleet of heavily armed frigates heads full sail to blast through France's blockade. Aboard His Majesty's swift flagship DESPERATE, midshipman Alan Lewrie quickly sets his gunners to their lethal work, firing rapid broadsides of 24 pound shot at the enemy vessels.

Excellent Story Telling
Revisado: 08-12-24
After ending the first book, I immediately bought the second and started right away. As someone who adores historical fiction and especially with some military history, these books are some of the best I’ve ever come across. Every single thing about it wants for nothing. Characters, topic, writing… everything and more. Well done.

Digs Deep
Revisado: 07-29-24
This isn’t your typical boy meets girl and I’m here for it. It’s a story broadly displaying how our relationships can shape the trajectory of our lives. It’s also a story about how society has shaped the way we respond to those situations… and SO much more. It’s a good reflection of the world today in general. I loved it for all those things.
