Description Things Too Big To Name by Molly Best Tinsley


Margaret Torrens trades academia for early retirement and the solitude of a cabin in the Oregon mountains. Four months later, she is locked in a ward for the criminally insane undergoing assessment, and a charge of murder is in the air. Pried out of her by an impatient young psychologist, Margaret’s story features Jane Farrow–a former student, who showed up at the cabin uninvited with an odd, mute child in tow–and Victor–Margaret’s alleged victim, who put his claim on both. As Margaret works to control this narrative of the recent past, she is waylaid by secrets, borne by the ghost of her young husband, lost decades before.

Guest Review Things Too Big To Name by Molly Best Tinsley


Guest review by Bessie Z.

“Things Too Big To Name” by Molly Best Tinsley begins with the equivalent of an authorial punch. The main character, Margaret, is driving down a dark highway when she hits a deer. Confused and disoriented, she manages to make it back to her house where she is immediately confronted by what may (or may not) be the spirit of her late husband. What follows after this is nearly 300 pages of a fascinating descent into Margaret’s mind as she questions her sanity and everything that she has come to know as true throughout her life.

This book was so well written that there were points where it had me questioning my own sanity. I’ve never read Tinsley’s work before, but she has such a seemingly effortless way of twisting and turning a narrative so it distracts you just enough that her well-toned action scenes can sneak up behind you and rob you blind. You can bet I’ll be tracking down more of her books after this! What an exciting and enthralling reading experience this was all around. This is the kind of book that leaves you thinking about it for a long time afterward.

Tinsley’s short, clipped sentences and respect of the reader’s intelligence is exactly my cup of tea in a novel. I’m not sure what else I can say except that I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for something that will keep you guessing and that you absolutely cannot put down until it’s finished. I know I couldn’t. I give this book +5stars.

 Medellin Acapulco Cold

Description Medellin: Acapulco Cold ( Rick Fontain 3) by Bill Fortin


In March 1987, the CIA’s Operation Acapulco Cold took on the Medellín cartel. The journey would be dangerous. The alternative for not recovering the nuke would be too horrible to imagine.  

A theft occurs as a result of President Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev’s treaty agreement in January 1986. Russian SS-20 medium-range missiles were removed from Eastern Europe and their nuclear MIRV packages removed. A shadow group inside the failing Russian government steals three of the nose-cone assembles.

A Russian named Geonov is charged with selling one of these devices to the Medellin cartel. The asking price was $40 million dollars in cash. Pablo Escobar did not even blink when he was offered one.  Operation Acapulco Cold is the detailed action taken by the CIA to address this life-altering situation.

Guest Review Medellin: Acapulco Cold (Rick Fontain 3) by Bill Fortin


Guest Review by Mark S.

‘Medellin: Acapulco Cold’ is the third book in Bill Fortin’s gripping series about CIA agent Rick Fontain. This installment in the series follows Rick as he tries to track down a stolen nuclear warhead through the United States, Mexico, Russia, Malaysia and other countries all over the world. This case ends up being one of the most complex and life-threatening of Rick’s career. Fortin’s writing seems to get better and better with every new novel that he releases. This book was no exception in that regard.

In ‘Medellin,’ Fortin’s writing is descriptive, compelling, snappy and witty. I found myself alternatively biting my nails and laughing out loud at Fontain’s quick one-liners many times while I was reading this novel. There were no parts of this book that dragged or bored me. It kept up a tense, action-packed plot throughout its entirety and kept me guessing about what was going to happen next till the very last page. These stories remind me a bit of a mixture of the James Bond films and ‘Die Hard’ with some Alex Cross thrown in for good measure. I love the descriptions of CIA operations and technology. All of those details seemed genuine and added to the story quite a bit. I didn’t feel lost or like I couldn’t understand what was happening at all.

I don’t want to give too much away and spoil the entire plot because it was too awesome a read for that. This was just the kind of thriller I love, the kind that has equal doses of tension and comedy as well as an international setting. I’m hoping that Rick Fontain has more work to do in the future and that there will be more books coming out in this series. This one gets 5 stars from me!

 Fire Priest

Description Fire Priest (Pawn of the Gods, Book 1) by Stephen Murdoch


Seventeen-year-old Jack Kulinski is the best mixed martial arts fighter of his generation. So why does fighting scare him so much? In the ring, the sound of swarming bees mysteriously fills his head, and it takes all of his effort to not flee in panic. But when his best friend disappears, and Jack, alone, discovers that he’s been magicked to a terrible land ruled by a murderous god and his violent people, he needs to learn how to face his fears and to fight better than he ever has before.

Review Fire Priest (Pawn of the Gods, Book 1) by Stephen Murdoch


Guest review by Marc R.

I don’t read a lot of fantasy, so when I tell you that I loved this book….well, it really means something.

Stephen Murdoch writes with a lot of skill. Somehow he manages to create a world that is not only compelling and mesmerizing but that is new and interesting. I found myself reading this and realizing that I’d never read anything like it before in my life. Murdoch not only invents this world, but his narration shows you it with a light touch and just enough detail. I didn’t feel bogged down in endless descriptions of fantasy-world trees or animals. He related just enough detail to make the world seem real without over-doing it, which is a rare talent.

The main character of the story, Jack is easy to relate to. A teenage boy who lost his mother at a young age and now has an adversarial relationship with his father. Murdoch shows you the world of the Fire Priests through Jack’s eyes in many ways and that makes it even more creative and interesting. Jack struggles for his life in the world of Tenochtan. He struggles for the life of his best friend, Denny and both struggle against their destiny.

I found this to be kind of a story about becoming a man, even though the circumstances were, err….shall we say a bit far removed from a normal young man’s journey to becoming a man. But I think that take on the book really opened up a different reading experience for me and made it even more enjoyable.

Murdoch’s book combines all of the best elements of a good fantasy novel– world building, a relatable hero, a grandiose character arc– with a modern writing style that left me in awe of his talent.

Five stars all around and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!
