The Midnight Road

Bantam, 2007

Thanks, Tom!
There are two writers extant who can bring me to tears, to real laughter, and sometimes, to screaming in frustration or anger. One of them is Tom Piccirilli. When I first picked up The Midnight Road, I remembered, at once, the very first line of the book from a little taste given at the back of his last novel, The Dead Letters: "Flynn remembered the night of his death more clearly than ...

EXCELLENT HOLIDAY MYSTERY
I deliberately waited over a year to purchase and read Midnight Clear by my favorite mystery author, Kathy Hogan Trocheck. I've always paced myself with her books because there aren't that many to begin with plus it's been over 3 years since KHT last wrote one. I hope that she is working on something new, because all of us Callahan Garrity fans are anxiously awaiting the next mystery featuring ...

Midnight Brunch (Casa Dracula Series, Book 2)

Marta Acosta

Pocket, 2007

Happy Hour at Casa Dracula
One of the funniest books I've ever read, a combination of social satire, romance and amiable camp. It still brings a smile to my face. A new, inventive spin on the vampire myth with engaging, lovable, offbeat characters. Read the sequel.

MIDNIGHT INK, 2006

A funny and engaging page turner!
Reviewed by Cherie Fisher for Reader Views (1/07) I picked this book up on a Sunday morning and figured that I would read for an hour or so and then do my chores. Its 5PM, the book is finished, no chores are done and I am still in my PJ's. This is one of the few books that I have read that I can honestly say I could not put it down once I started it. "Dressed to Keel" is Candy Calvert's ...

Hampton Roads Pub Co, 2008

Outstanding. Don't miss Chapter 7, lots of mystical insight.
Outstanding!! Books of this stature are rarely written. We are talking about in-depth insights into human life and beyond from none other than realized master Jaggi Vasudev popularly known as Sadhguru. Cheryl Simone is an un-assuming questioner posing never ending questions to Sadhguru on varied topics, testing depths of understanding of human life's complexities and challenges. As usual, ...

Ruth Wind

HarperTorch, 2000

Absorbing
Hadn't even heard of Ruth Wind before but halfway thru this book I'm looking for other books of hers. All the ones listed seem to be either much lighter in nature or out of print. She's a terrific writer with an ability to draw you into her characters' feelings and to the atmosphere. I hope she writes another "real" book.

Signet, 2006

Second Parallel installment raises the heat and reader's delight
As the second book in the Parallel or Midnight warrior Series, Parallel Heat takes all the elements that endeared readers to the first book and added more suspense and more romance. As a cross between romance and science fiction, this paranormal romance will delight an audience beyond either separate genre. Thea Haven, cousin to the exiled king Jared Bennett, has been devastated by his choice ...

Pantheon, 2004

Where is the Definitive Biography of Wolf? Here it Is!!!!
Two years ago, I reviewed Howlin' Wolf: The Chess Box in this very hallowed cyberspace, wonderin' aloud (as Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull would have it) when in the world would someone please write the definitive bio of Wolf and his massive (reportedly 6' 3" and 300 pounds) persona? Well, folks, wonder no longer. Within the past year, James Segrest and Mark Hoffman have written said biography. In ...

Spell-binding, the most captivating story this year!
This story was amazing. I couldn't put the book down until I finished it. I guess it would have to do with most of it being set in Alaska, I am all about Alaska. I just really loved it. Everyone should read it!

LMR Does it again!!
So many times a sequal is not as good as the 1st, but this book did not disappoint. Bud is a hot alpha male and Claire is the perfect beautiful counterpart. A very heartwarming emotional read. It is nice to read a story with a great balance of suspense and hot chemistry.

Amazon, 2007

Disturbing? Perhaps....
Aren't all government-programs-run-amok rather disturbing? But wait, this is no government program - or isn't it? Either way, it works. It works very well. This story starts driving down a fairly straight road, then takes a sharp, left turn and ends up in the section of the city where we've always been warned against going. Unlike other stories with similar theme, there is no redemption to ...

Midnight Cowboy

James Leo Herlihy

Pan Books, 1991

Herlihy's Classic
Herlihy's gift to American literature was this novel. Though the rest of his work is less remarkable, the author created a special vision of American life in Midnight Cowboy. Herlihy's reputation was founded on his ability to write about "grotesqueries" in an authentic voice, and nowhere is this talent better illustrated than in the exploits of Joe Buck and Ratso Rizzo. The novel is full of ...

This is an excellent adventure tale. I am an avid reader and I absolutely loved reading the Knowland Retribution. Also, I am anxiously awaiting more books written by Richard Greener. I am purchasing three more copies today, which will make six copies I have purchased thus far. I keep giving my copies away because I think everyone should read this book!

Smart, Fun Thriller
This book was entertaining from the first page to the last, introducing us to a new set of interesting and endearing characters. I have found another writer to add to my list of favorites. I eagerly await the next installment, Beating the Babushka!

Fawcett Publications, 1962

Creepy Hebridean Murder Mystery
When I was a child in the 1970s we were on a holiday on the west coast of Scotland and by chance, taking refuge in the car from the torrential summer downpour in the barren square of Portree, my father turned on the radio. What came on was a creepy, disturbing drama set on Skye. A young woman, the only visitor to this country hotel not on the suspect list for a grizzly murder is sitting in the ...

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Topeka Bindery, 2002

What a treasure!
You know this book is special as soon as you touch it. You realize that the look of leather on the cover is just that, a look. You flip through the pages and find a scrapbook, complete with worn and mildewed pages, enhanced with token mementos that look so three-dimensional you must trace them with a tentative finger. A letter from Thomas Gage to Lieutenant Colonel Smith is tucked inside the ...
