Death of a Star by Sandy Semerad

Death of a Star was a finalist in Killer Nashville’s Claymore Awards.

Atlanta newspaper publisher Carrie Sue Justice-Handley doesn’t expect to find death inside her ancestral home after renting it to a Hollywood director. She anticipates a mess inside, but not the star of Annie’s Ghost hanging from attic rafters. The star’s death is eerily like the historic suicide of the resident ghost. Detective Sean O’Connor identifies the star’s death as murder. This propelled Carrie Sue into a dangerous investigation and an unexpected romance. On the advice of a friend, she seeks answers from a trusted psychic. The psychic says greed was the catalyst for murder and senses another body is buried behind the old house. The prediction also carries a warning.

Childhood friend Freemont Jackson reminds Carrie Sue; she is a survivor after a lifetime of trauma, but Carrie Sue is doubtful when her life is repeatedly threatened. Thankfully, a stray German Shepard comes to the rescue. He uncovers a vital clue and helps to catch a cunningly evil murderer.

The Unraveling Mind (Echoes of the Mind Book 1) K by Joe Madison

The first light of dawn, thin and watery, managed to pierce the perpetual gloom that clung to Blackwood Manor. Elara Vance, wrapped in a thick woolen blanket that smelled faintly of mothballs and something else, something vaguely medicinal, sat on the cold flagstone floor of the grand entrance hall. Detective Carter, his face a mask of professional exhaustion, had just finished his preliminary sweep: a quiet, grim efficiency about him. He’d secured the scene, taken a few cursory notes, and then, with a nod that held more sympathy than protocol allowed, informed her she needed to be taken somewhere safe, somewhere she could give a proper statement.

The Ambition by Yvonne Blackwood

THE AMBITION is a gripping family saga and suspenseful drama that captures the volatile intersection of business, loyalty, and moral compromise. Set against the dynamic backdrop of 1990s Toronto, the novel is both an exploration of ambition and a cautionary tale about the price of unchecked desire.
At the heart of the story are brothers John and Carmine Cippione, who inherit their father’s modest HVAC company. Their father’s life embodies the immigrant dream—sacrifice, hard work, and a reputation built on trust and integrity. John, however, yearns for more than stability; he wants prestige, wealth, and the trappings of success that the small business cannot provide. This hunger drives the brothers to partner with a powerful land development company, a decision that sets the stage for both opportunity and ruin.

Two Minutes by Michael Spring-Springer

The book moves across Earth and space while constantly circling one central idea that time is limited, and what we choose to do with it defines us. The narrative asks big questions about love, power, belief, and morality, yet it never feels distant or abstract. Instead, it feels personal, almost urgent, as if the clock is always ticking in the background.

Felicity Bennet immediately stood out to me as a powerful and refreshing protagonist. Her longing to touch the cosmos felt symbolic of every woman who has ever been told to stay within boundaries set by others. I was deeply invested in her journey, not just as an astronaut, but as a woman pushing back against inequality and expectation. Her relationship with her father adds emotional depth, grounding the story in tenderness and vulnerability even as it reaches for the stars.

I loved how Michael Spring-Springer blends emotion with intellect. Themes like gender imbalance, faith versus science, sexuality, and political manipulation are woven naturally into the plot rather than presented as lectures. The story challenges the idea of simple good and evil, showing instead how flawed, conflicted, and hopeful people really are. Every twist felt intentional, pushing me to reflect rather than just observe.

By the time I finished the book, I found myself lingering on its central question about final moments and lasting meaning. Two Minutes is not just about space or romance or ideology; it is about what remains when everything else falls away. It is thoughtful, bold, and emotionally resonan

Mirage – a Cash & Carrie Adventure by Tony Burnett

Mirage is a gritty crime thriller set in South Texas. The story plunges readers into the seedy and violent underworld of human smuggling, cartel influence, and corrupt government officials, where the desert sun burns the truth into the earth and the shadows hide what official reports never dare to tell. The novel exposes the hidden systems that allow exploitation to thrive across the U.S.–Mexico border.
Burnett’s world is populated by people who aren’t heroes—they’re survivors. Damaged. Driven. Dangerous. The heart of the story beats within two unforgettable characters whose unlikely partnership creates a narrative as explosive as it is emotionally deep.
Carrie James — The Survivor Turned Enforcer
Carrie James has spent her life outrunning demons she never asked for. Traumatized by years of psychological and physical abuse—pain that she blames on her philandering father—Carrie carries scars far deeper than the ones visible to the world. Driven by rage, shaped by trauma, and fueled by the burning need for vengeance, she becomes Bee County’s first female deputy sheriff. But Carrie doesn’t enter law enforcement for justice in the traditional sense. She enters it to expose the truth. To make wrong people hurt. To find answers about the death of her closest childhood friend, Carlos—a tragedy tied to a cross-border smuggling operation that reeks of deception and betrayal. What Carrie uncovers is far worse!
Kevin “DJ Cash” — The Criminal With a Badge
Kevin Cash—often known by his street name DJ Cash—is a hustler with ambition, a man who has always lived one step to the left of the law. When he infiltrates a produce company with cartel ties, he’s seeking money, access, and the illicit adrenaline rush that comes with playing both sides. But Cash isn’t one-dimensional; he’s funny, flawed, reckless, charming, and desperate for validation.
His world becomes further entangled when he falls for a fellow probation officer—and gets ensnared by the dangerously unstable daughter of a trafficking-linked business owner. His choices blur the line between survival and self-destruction, and Burnett paints his spiral with nuance, humor, and tragedy.
A Partnership Built on Pain
Carrie and Cash shouldn’t work together. They don’t trust each other. They don’t even like each other. Their motivations clash—one fueled by revenge, one by profit. Yet in the world Burnett builds, these two broken souls find themselves bound by the same enemy, the same corruption, and the same suffocating system.
Both must go undercover. Both must bend—or break—the law. Both must decide what justice really means when the institutions designed to uphold it are rotting from the inside.
Their missions diverge. Their fates collide. Their choices ignite a storm.

Goodbye Demons by JJ Harrigan

When injuries cut short the figure skating career of Angie Fernandez Parnell, she joins the Peace Corps. She is assigned to Tunis where she finds her soulmate, U.S. diplomat James Whitcomb. At the conclusion of their tours of duty, they marry, and within weeks of the wedding, he is taken captive in the Iranian Hostage Crisis of 1979-81.

James, held hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Teheran, endures the same demons that afflicted the real-life hostages during the actual crisis 45 years ago. Deprivation, bad treatment, political manipulation, and above all the uncertainty of whether or when it would all end.

Angie, biting her nails at home, endures her own demons. How can she support him? Should she join efforts that pressure the president to negotiate a release? Or even a rescue? A take-charge person by nature, she follows a path that will reap huge benefits if it works. Or destroy her life if it fails.

Goodbye Demons is a visceral, emotionally charged exploration of resilience in the face of adversity. It is the story of a man and a woman struggling to overcome demons beyond their control.

Two Minutes by Michael Spring-Springer

Two Minutes makes you pause and think. At its core, this book asks some big questions: Do we ever truly have enough time?

Is love strong enough to survive chaos, distance, and inequality? And why are certain power dynamics still so deeply ingrained in society? But instead of feeling heavy or preachy, the story flows through these ideas with emotion, intrigue, and just the right amount of mystery. Two Minutes blends genres so seamlessly. One moment you’re reflecting on love and human connection, the next you’re pulled into themes of espionage, science, religion, and moral dilemmas that don’t have easy answers. It challenges the idea of good vs evil and shows how messy, complicated, and beautifully flawed humans really are—on Earth and beyond. This isn’t just a battle of the sexes; it’s a battle of beliefs, hearts, and minds. If you enjoy thought-provoking reads that mix emotion with intellect and leave you staring at the ceiling afterwards, this one’s for you.”

This story is far more concerned with the human heart than with technology alone. The book moves across Earth and space while constantly circling one central idea that time is limited, and what we choose to do with it defines us. The narrative asks big questions about love, power, belief, and morality, yet it never feels distant or abstract. Instead, it feels personal, almost urgent, as if the clock is always ticking in the background.

An Eternity to Burn in Hell by B. S. K. Sanders

An Eternity to Burn in Hell is a dark, multi-layered crime thriller that explores the devastating consequences of trauma, revenge, and the failures of justice. Unlike typical crime thrillers, the narrative delves deeply into the psychological bonds between the women and their shared struggle to reclaim agency in a world that has repeatedly failed them. The novel follows the intersecting lives of five women known as “Aphrodite’s Ladies.” Each woman is shaped by a harrowing past of abuse, addiction, and survival through sex work, but all eventually attempt to leave their old lives behind in search of redemption and dignity. Each woman’s quest for dignity is driven by a distinct moment of betrayal or hope that propels her toward change: whether it’s the memory of a lost childhood, the drive to protect a loved one, or the longing for genuine connection. Through their intertwined stories, the novel offers an intimate look at how individual motivations and unique challenges shape their pursuit of redemption, making their journey both emotionally resonant and unforgettable.

But their hopes for new lives are shattered when a vengeful former client, driven to madness by his own battles with disease and obsession, tracks them relentlessly, leaving a trail of violence across the country. Each woman’s murder is more brutal than the last: one is found alone in a cold motel room, another is found by a garbage dumpster in a city alley, and a third’s disappearance is marked only by a bloodstained personal item left behind. Despite the chilling pattern, police indifference and repeated investigative failures allow the killer’s reign of terror to continue unchecked for years, compounding the women’s tragedy with institutional neglect.

Only after a determined investigator painstakingly connects overlooked clues do the full horrors finally come to light. With the investigation at a standstill and the killer still on the loose, the loved ones left behind are left yearning for closure, their hearts weighed down by lingering doubts and unresolved questions. Their faces are etched with grief as they clutch old photographs, longing for justice that never arrives. Instead of solace, they are left with the haunting memories of their loved ones’ suffering and the agonizing realization that the failures which allowed the violence to continue are still unresolved.

In the end, the story stands as a chilling indictment of a society that turned away, and a haunting reminder that some wounds inflicted by revenge and injustice may never truly heal.
