Review of Picker by Chad Schimke

Title - Picker
Author - Chad Schimke

I have been to New Mexico when I was younger and one thing I loved about this book was how descriptive it was. I felt like I was there seeing the colors and landscape. Chad Schimke did an awesome job of combining a story of crime with southwestern culture.

Fernando is the main man in this nail biting story that takes you to the edge of your seat and back! ! Fernando's deceased father, Juan Carlos built a family career in crime ! From drugs to their brothel the "Casa Blanca". After Fernando's father died he took over as the new family crime boss. We read about his brother, uncle, mother and cousin who all play important roles in keeping the family business going. The story picks up with a longtime rival of Juan's, Chango who is looking to shut Fernando and the family business down. Chango is seeking revenge on the Carlos family and does not care who he takes down with him! The story jumps back and forth from past to present which is great in explaining situations. It was a great read and I will be looking for more this author!

Welcome to Julies Book Review

Mission Statement and procedures:

To all of my readers, fellow reviewers, authors and friends,

Julies Book Review is dedicated to reading, reviewing and helping out as may authors as possible. As a team we work together and produce hundreds of reviews a year and have helped thousands of authors promote their work.

How do we do this? Co-operation is key. My many reviewers, receive books from many authors and many genre’s all. They then send their reviews to my administrative staff and we then distribute their reviews for them to the different social media sites and selling platforms. This is all pre-arranged with all new reviewers. Reviewers are free to post their reviews for themselves but most choose to let the administration staff do it for them.

Negativity is not tolerated on the site. Only books that the reviewers deem a 3 star or better is advertised by this blog. If a book is not up to those standards, we try other reviewers but ultimately, some books will not be reviewed that are sent to us. I would rather not put a review up than to say anything bad about someones hard work.

One of the first rules I mention to all new reviewers is that no bashing of anyone, is tolerated on the site. It is not just unacceptable on the site but also childish and unprofessional.

Basically this blog and the many sites that are connected to it, all have one thing in common, the love of reading.

Julie Ramsey
