Shadow Zone [Hardcover]

I've finished "Shadow Zone" the sequel to their "Silent Thunder" book by Iris and Roy Johansen.

Product Description

The #1 New York Times bestselling author teams up once again with her Edgar award-winning son to bring us a new heart-pounding thriller involving the search for a mysterious Atlantean city.

While mapping the ancient underwater city of Marinth in the Atlantic Ocean, submersible designer Hannah Bryson makes a shocking discovery: she may have finally uncovered the truth about the once-glorious city’s mysterious demise. Long ago it was a thriving metropolis bursting with culture and life — Marinth’s sudden disappearance has plagued scientists for years. But now, with her unexpected new findings, Hannah realizes that the ancient city’s explosive secret could have dire consequences for the modern - day world.

But Hannah isn’t the only one who realizes it. When her key artifact is hijacked en route to a research lab, she is thrust into an adventure in which she must match wits against a terrifying enemy who will kill anyone who stands in his way. And when Hannah becomes his target, she knows that her best hope for survival lies with Kirov, a mysterious and deadly man from her past. Together they will race to unravel Marinth’s last great secret in order to prevent a catastrophe of global proportions. Before the lethal game is over, however, Hannah will realize that no one is above suspicion.

My Review:

Hannah has discovered the reason why Marinth had a mysterious demise and while on-route is hijacked by Vincent Gadiare and his femme - fatale lover, Anna Devareau (man is she a piece of work and very deadly).  These two have no trouble killing people and have no remorse and it really turns them on!  Hmmmm!

Hannah a world-class submarine designer gathers her own team of experts which includes her former ally/love interest Nicolas Kirov an enigmatic assassin (he can charm anyone)!

Mostly the romance is seduction and I'm glad that Nicholas doesn't force Hannah to fall into bed with him.  He said he would wait until she is ready!

While growing up I have always had a love of reading. My favorite place to hang out was the library along with getting ice cream.

My blog started out as a family blog but once I was able to get some books from the publisher, my blog became more public and I have been doing book reviews since that time. I've always been recommending books to my friends or letting friends borrow from my library of books. I like to read a variety of books, but since reading Twilight -- I have been reading more young adult novels since I have a tween. I also wanted to know what books my daughter will be reading.

Being online and finding other blogs -- I have been introduced to new authors, more book boyfriends, and made some lasting friendships through blogging.

If you have, or would have a daughter, what book would you want your daughter to read?

If I had a daughter I would want her to read the Nancy Drew series!

Infamous [Mass Market Paperback]

I've finished "Infamous" by Suzanne Brockmann.

Product Description

In her first paperback original in more than six years, New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Brockmann delivers an unforgettable novel of contemporary romance and thrilling suspense.

When history professor Alison Carter became a consultant to the film version of the Wild West legend she’d dedicated her career to researching, she couldn’t possibly have known that she would not only get a front-row seat to a full-blown Hollywood circus but would innocently witness something that would put her life in peril. Nor did she expect that a tall stranger in a cowboy hat would turn the movie — and her world —completely upside down.

A. J. Gallagher didn’t crash the set in dusty Arizona to rub elbows with Hollywood’s elite. Unable to ignore ghosts from the past that refuse to stay buried, A. J. came to put an end to the false legend that has tarnished the reputation of his family. But when he confronts Alison, sparks fly. And when Alison is targeted by ruthless criminals, suddenly she and A .J. must face the intense attraction that threatens to consume them — and survive the danger that threatens their very lives.

About the Author

Since her explosion onto the publishing scene more than ten years ago, Suzanne Brockmann has written more than forty books, and is now widely recognized as one of the leading voices in romantic suspense. Her work has earned her repeated appearances on the USA Today and New York Timesbestseller lists, as well as numerous awards, including Romance Writers of America's #1 Favorite Book of the Year (three years running), two RITA Awards, and many Romantic TimesReviewers' Choice Awards. Suzanne Brockmann lives west of Boston with her husband, author Ed Gaffney.

61 Hours: A Reacher Novel (Jack Reacher Novels) [Hardcover]

I've finished "61 Hours" the book in his Jack Reacher series by Lee Child.

Product Description

Jack Reacher is back.


The countdown has begun. Get ready for the most exciting 61 hours of your life. #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Child’s latest thriller is a ticking time bomb of suspense that builds electric tension on every page.

Sixty-one hours. Not a minute to spare.

A tour bus crashes in a savage snowstorm and lands Jack Reacher in the middle of a deadly confrontation. In nearby Bolton, South Dakota, one brave woman is standing up for justice in a small town threatened by sinister forces. If she’s going to live long enough to testify, she’ll need help. Because a killer is coming to Bolton, a coldly proficient assassin who never misses.

Reacher’s original plan was to keep on moving. But the next 61 hours will change everything. The secrets are deadlier and his enemies are stronger than he could have guessed—but so is the woman whose life he’ll risk his own to save.

In 61 Hours, Lee Child has written a showdown thriller with an explosive ending that readers will talk about for a long time to come.

My Review:
 
Storyline: There are three storylines happening in this book.  The first has to do with who's killing people, who's the inside man and to protect a witness for an upcoming trial.

Characters:   Some of the characters are well written and you get the feeling you might know some of them in real life.  The others aren't as fleshed out!

Romance:  No romance in this book!

Killer:  There is a reason why the killer was killing people but you will have to read!  I had a suspicion who the killer was because of some clues!

My Review:
 
Wow was this book hot or what?  I highly recommend this series if you love rock and roll, hot rockers and even hotter sex!
 
Brian is the son of a seventies rock god and is the creative force of the band.  When he falls he falls very hard and is a one woman man.  He is currently nursing a broken heart after he found out his ex-girlfriend cheated on him.
 
Myrna is a Human Sexuality professor who is divorced and running scared from her ex-husband.  When Myrna finds out her favorite band "The Sinners" are in the hotel bar she gets to know all the band members but has her eye on Brian.  They embark on a weekend fling and everytime they make love he hears a song rift in his head, he's found his muse!
 
He's falls very hard for the sexy and hot professor and is determined to win her in everyway (heart, body and soul).  Myrna also falls for Brian but she is cautious about starting a relationship with him because of the abuse her ex-husband excused her of (she has a restraining order on him).  She prefers a casual fling where she can live out her dirtest and erotic fantasies but is haunted by an inner voice that says she is bad for wanting it!
 
The sex scenes were very intense and hot and exciting!    
 
5/5

Thanks Danielle from Sourcebooks for sending me this book to review, greatly appreciated!

Veil of Night: A Novel [Hardcover]

I've finished "Veil of Night" by Linda Howard.

Product Description

Jaclyn Wilde is a wedding planner who loves her job — usually. But helping Carrie Edwards with her Big Day has been an unrelenting nightmare. Carrie is a bridezilla of mythic nastiness, a diva whose tantrums are just about as crazy as her demands. But the unpleasant task at hand turns seriously criminal when Carrie is brutally murdered and everyone involved with the ceremony is accusing one another of doing the deed.

The problem is, most everyone — from the cake maker and the florist to the wedding-gown retailer and the bridesmaids’ dressmaker — had his or her own reason for wanting the bride dead, including Jaclyn. And while those who felt Carrie’s wrath are now smiling at her demise, Jaclyn refuses to celebrate tragedy, especially since she finds herself in the shadow of suspicion.

Assigned to the case, Detective Eric Wilder finds that there’s too much evidence pointing toward too many suspects. Compounding his problems is Jaclyn, with whom he shared one deeply passionate night before Carrie’s death. Being a prime suspect means that Jaclyn is hands-off just when Eric would rather be hands-on. As the heat intensifies between Eric and Jaclyn, a cold-blooded murderer moves dangerously close. And this time the target is not a bride but one particularly irresistible wedding planner, unaware of a killer’s vow.

About the Author

Linda Howard is the award-winning author of many New York Times bestsellers, including Ice, Burn, and Death Angel. She lives in Alabama with her husband and a golden retriever.

My Review:

Storyline:  The detectives have to find out who killed and why Carrie was killed.

Characters:   The characters were well written and it's like you might know them in real life.  Carrie was such a witch and I'm glad she was killed (it could happen to a nicer person)!

Romance:  You can feel the steam coming off the pages everytime Eric and Jaclyn in the same room.  Though I don't know how they fell in love because they didn't really get to know each other (never went on a date or talked about what their interests were, etc.)

Killer(s):  Eric had a suspicion who one of the killers was but didn't have any proof to prove it!

Chasing the Night [Hardcover]



Product Description

A CIA agent’s two-year-old child was stolen in the night as a brutal act of vengeance. Now, eight years later, this torment is something Catherine Ling awakens to every day. Her friends, family, and colleagues tell her to let go, move on, accept that her son is never coming back. But she can’t. Catherine needs to find someone as driven and obsessed as she is to help her — and that person is Eve Duncan. She knows that Eve shares her nightmare, since closure is also something that eludes Eve after the disappearance of her daughter Bonnie. Now, Eve must take her talents as a forensic sculptor to another level, using age progression as a way to unite Catherine with her child. As Eve gets drawn deeper into Catherine’s horror, she must face looming demons of her own.

Bonnie’s killer is still out there. And a new killer is taunting Eve and Catherine at every turn. Is Catherine’s son alive, or not? These two women endure the worst fear any mother can imagine in Iris Johansen’s latest thrill ride, a gut-wrenching journey into the darkest places of the soul.

Emily @ What Book is That?
 

 
I'm a special education teacher by trade and when I'm not doing that, I'm reading or talking about books! While I keep coming back to paranormal romance and urban fantasy titles, I'm pretty open to anything that sounds interesting. I'm also a Kindle convert and am in the process of converting my print library to entirely an ebook one (gasp!) I'll say it here, loud and proud, I thought I would miss the book smell but I don't. So there.

Anyway, What Book is That? was an idea born on a Sunday afternoon, an idea that came from my desire to have a place to keep track of the books I read and the ones I liked and didn't like. Shortly thereafter, I had a second idea that said that other people might like and not like the same books and may be interested in talking about them! A little over a year later, here I am!

What are you currently reading? Basically, what book is that?

Paranormal and Romantic Suspense Reviews is currently reading "61 Hours" by Lee Child.
