Coldwater

 
Picture
Author: Samuel Parker
Genre: Thriller/Suspense


The vigilantes behind him are nothing compared to the enemy within.

Having forfeited his youth to the state prison system, Michael moved back to the still vacant house of his parents in a town with one stoplight. A town that hated him. Had always hated him. And was ready to pick up where the prison system had left off.
Now he's on the run from men who've tried to kill him once; but Michael is more than an ex-con. A powerful, sinister force skulks within him, threatening and destructive. What--and who--it will destroy next is the only real question. 

From the bold voice that brought readers down Purgatory Road comes a new pulse-pounding, spine-rattling tale of vengeance and justice.

Fault Lines

 
Picture
Author: Thomas Locke
​Genre: Thriller/Suspense

What if reality is only the edge of possibility?


There isn't much that can throw Charlie Hazard off balance. But the mystery woman with the striking eyes and the intense request to follow her--now--is about to shake his world. Knowing little more than her name, Charlie leaves his post as a guard at the Satellite Beach community center for what he thinks 
is just another risk-containment job. But Gabriella, an experimental psychologist, has far more in store for him than protection duty--if the two of them survive the test.

Reese Clawson relishes her work at the Combine and all the perks and power that come with it--including the ability to manipulate perceptions. But the Combine never anticipated this mind-shifting technology. If Gabriella's experiments succeed, the Combine would be destroyed. And Reese will never allow that to happen.

Picture
Author: Bill Myers, Frank Peretti, Angela Hunt, Alton Gansky
Genre: Thriller/Suspense


Gathering four stories from four bestselling author friends, 
Invitation is the first collection in the ongoing Harbingers series.

In Angela Hunt's "The Sentinels," animals around the world are mysteriously dying. What could it mean? When the tragedy begins to touch Andi's dreams, she discovers a terrifying theory. "The Girl" by Alton Gansky is a gripping tale of a young barefoot girl found holding a scroll in the snowy Oregon mountains.

A Way Out of Hell

 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Author: Jim Baton
Genre: Thriller/Suspense


“Just tell me what you want me to do.” Abdullah braced himself for the worst.

The Intelligence agent leaned back in the chair with his hands pressed together tapping his lips. “If ISIS is indeed here, I want you to find their terrorist cell and take it down. And I want you to do this…” he paused, “…non-violently.”

ISIS is threatening to destabilize Indonesia. In the city of Banjarmasin, Abdullah will need all his experience as a former jihadist and as a reformed peacemaker to save his city. His adopted daughter, Sari, a Christian university student, is one of the targets. She’s also the only one who believes Abdullah can succeed in overcoming evil with good.

In this riveting sequel to Someone Has to Die, Jim Baton introduces us to the real people caught in the web of terrorism, with their wide variety of backgrounds and motivations, and the possibility that they, too, can change.

Reviewer: Carol A. Brown

Abdulla, a former jihadist turned peacemaker, offers vulnerable young jihadists a way out of the hell of terrorism they have gotten themselves into. And the clock is ticking...and not just the one on the bomb!

I loved this book! Can you say you love a book about violence when you love people and hate violence and terror? Well, yes, you can, because in this book peace wins. A Way Out of Hell is the sequel to Someone Has to Die. Baton keeps the pages flying with non-stop action & intrigue interwoven with delicate threads of loving-kindness. He expertly juxtaposes Christian ideals of non-violence and overcoming evil with good, with the blind hatred and violence of ISIS in the milieu of the cultural confrontation between Christians and Muslims in Indonesia. The story presents a model for turning a revolution into a reformation.

Compelling. Gripping, and technically flawless. Baton’s characters are lovable, admirable, and honorable. They have such depth that you want to know these people and call them your friends. Of course, the bad guys are equally well depicted so you want them to fail in their mission to create national instability.

I would recommend this book to anyone who reads YA and adult books, those who are interested in social and political issues, especially the challenges presented with how Muslims and Christians can live in community. The complexity of the issues, as well as the violence, in my estimation would be above children but could provoke serious thought for older teens.

The Domino Effect

 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Author: Davis Bunn
Genre: Thriller/Suspense

Esther Larsen, a top risk analyst at one of the country's largest banking institutions, is becoming more and more convinced that she has uncovered a ticking bomb with the potential to make the 2008 market crash look minor by comparison. And as her own employer pursues "investment" strategies with ever-increasing levels of risk, she becomes convinced she must do something. But Esther is only one person; can she stand up to an international conspiracy of greed? And if she does, will anyone take her seriously?

Every moment of indecision edges the markets closer to a tipping point--the teetering first domino in a standing row that circles the globe. And when Esther finds her voice, those she seeks to expose will not sit idly by. With global markets on the brink, and her own life in danger, Esther is locked in a race against the clock to avert a financial tsunami that threatens worldwide devastation.

Reviewer: Sabrina Wade

Having no knowledge about the workings of financial institutions, algorithms and such terms, David wrote this book in such an exquisite manner. Surprisingly, I absolutely enjoyed this book from start to finish. Every free moment I had, I found myself reaching for my kindle. Suspense through and through. Regardless if the reader is aware of such terminology, he/she would be leaning over the edge of his/her chair wanting to know what happens next. The title absolutely fits the meat of this book.

A book about a woman who has a strong belief of a huge event which could negatively impact nations, yet did not coward in fear, but used that fear as a driving force to save the world. Readers will fit his or her feet in the main character's shoes and feel the emotion and surrealness as each chapter unfolds. More than anything, The Domino Effect has helped me to better understand the Biblical event of Easter. Grab your copy, find a comfortable spot and indulge in a book of faith, courage, unconditional love, and selflessness.

Reviewer: Theresa Goldrick

The Raven, a street magician, works his magic to pick the pockets of unsuspecting victims.  This works well for him until he picks the wrong pocket, and tries to blackmail a prominent member of society.  The book features Private investigator Trudi Coffey, and police officer Samuel Hill, who were formerly married as well as partners in the PI business. Trudi stops in to see Raven just as he being beaten and tortured by men who have possible ties to the Russian mob.  In the meantime, Samuel is hearing word on the street about Nevermore, a possible attack by the Russian Mob.  Follow the story as author Mike Nappa weaves a tale of greed and vengeance. Enjoy the ride as the many twists and turns in the plot, until the final breathtaking climax at the end.
