Review of The Shroud by David Moore

The Shroud
David Moore

The Shroud of Turin; the sacred burial cloth that covered Jesus after he was crucified.

1988 in a quiet vet office, Father Joseph, Father Anthony and Father Michael have decided its time to take matters into their own hands. . . . .
With the help of a scientist they will attempt to clone Jesus.  This will be the first attempt of human cloning.  A baby will is being boy is being delivered to Mary and his name is Christian. The priest have no doubt that GOD will walk among them once more. It will be the end of wars, no crime and will be heaven on earth. GOD will right the world . . .at least that is the plan.

As Christian is growing and maturing those closest to him will see that things are not right, not natural and just plain wrong. At an early age he began playing harmful pranks, he could even over power his eye color. At the age of 25 Christian was a millionaire and very powerful. Once several suicides started popping up detective Denny Hopper started to take notice along with the three priest. There were no miracles being performed like the priest had hoped, impossible things would happen but no miracles. When the priest finally admitted they put they put GOD's will into their own hands and made him NOT GOD, they knew they needed to fix it.

Christian told people he was an angel, the kind that clean ups GOD's messes. Many believed that if they died Christian would bring them back from the dead, but Christians real plan was something totally different . . . . .

The Shroud is an awesome read. I could not put this one down once I had it started. To think there are those that really think they can play GOD. I loved all the characters and they were so well written and easy to read. There is not alot of history that weighs this story down. There is just the right amount of good verses evil in this story. The horror part to me is that there is people out there today that would do something like this. GREAT READ ! ! !

Review of The Lupane Legacy by Darby G. Holladay

The Lupane Legacy

Darby G. Holladay

The story starts out in Zimbabwe . . . . imagine being 5 years old,

going out to collect the daily supply of wood and seeing your entire

village being slaughtered right before your young innocent eyes.

Patrick at the young age of five lost his family and the life he once

knew.

Patrick was taken in by Contstance's family. They raised young

Patrick as their own. When he became 18 he went to college and to

begin his life. The one thing Patrick had on his mind was revenge. . .

making the one responsible to pay.

Joshua Denham is attending a concert in the park, held by Austrian

embassy where his cousin, Constance is playing. Constance is a

renowned violinst. Here is where Joshua will meet Devon Kerr, they

once met a year ago in Afghanistan. Joshua was in the Marines at

that time. The spark between them was once again lite.

Patrick who is now the Director of Archives for the Zimbabwe's

Central Intelligence Organization, recieves a package. One he has

been waiting for since that dreadful day when he was 5. What this

package holds will help him get justice for his family and formal

village members.

This is a wonderful written novel and very fast pace! Holladay

brought in the right amount of characters to make this African

political read one that is easy to understand. I was hoping to read

more of the budding romance between Joshua and Devon, but, I am

sure the next installment will bring them even closer together. I have

to say Holladay grabbed in on the first sentence and tugged my

heart, while picturing poor little Patrice watch such a horriable act of

violence.

Review of Faerie Tale, Ashen By R'Lee Coffey

Faerie Tale, Ashen By R'Lee Coffey

Ashen woke up outside with parts of her memory gone, a huge bump on the back of her head and no idea how to get home or who to trust.  Knox always seems to be there and he says he wants to help, but who is he and why does Ashen have the feelings she has if he is the enemy? 

And what is with all the freaky things that are happening to her?  Who…or WHAT is she?  And who are all these people who are acting like her friends and who expect her to know things about them that she just can’t remember?  Can she trust them enough to tell about her amnesia?  How can she deal with all of the expectations that everyone has for her if she can’t remember anything important?

This was a good book.  I want to read more about all of the characters and find out what happens to them.  5 stars!

I had picture this village to be a dark and sorta creepy. The Vixen is well written and well worth the time to sit down and enjoy ! !

Review of A Sense of Duty (Dark Horse Guardians) #1 by Ava Armstrong

A  Sense of Duty (Dark Horse Guardians) #1
by  Ava Armstrong

This is a love story...and it's nothing like the other Navy SEAL books you have read. 
It's a look inside the head of the man who wore the uniform. 

Lieutenant Ben Keegan leaves the Navy after a decade of service. He's been shot, captured, tortured, blown up, taken shrapnel, and he suffers from six tours of combat. This is a touching love story about overcoming pain and learning to trust and love... 

Former Navy SEAL Lieutenant, Ben Keegan, starts teaching history at the university Lara attends. Ben starts his own contracting firm, Dark Horse Guardians. He frequently takes on black-op missions for the CIA and other foreign intelligence entities. 

Lieutenant Ben Keegan is a mystery man and Lara is immediately intrigued with him. But, more importantly Ben is strongly drawn to her. Incredibly handsome and attentive to Lara, there is one big problem: he is legally married and has a child. And, Ben is wrestling with problems from his many years in combat. 

Lara is 24 years old, brilliant, beautiful and finishing her master's degree in a small New England town, but there's one thing missing from her life – a love relationship. Lara Reagan O'Connell is constantly pursued because of her striking good looks, but Lara refuses to get involved physically with any man before marriage. And, getting involved with a married guy would be out of the question. In today's world, she is considered a dinosaur, holding out for the right guy. She also harbors a dark secret that causes her to be introverted and cautious in all dealings with men. 

Lara O'Connell is about to have a man enter her world who will alter the course of her life. 

Their love story takes the reader on a romantic, psychological, sometimes gritty, journey. Both characters remain steadfast to their values, and discover that even though they have lived completely different lives – they have more in common then they originally thought. 

I enjoyed this book.. It was very well-written. strong story line also liked how it went from ben and lara and the other characters too.  The details was way to much had skip over some of it. Love book cover!!!!

Review of A Silent Prayer By Samreen Ahsan

Silent Prayer By Samreen Ahsan

Samreen Ashan's A Silent Prayer gets 5 stars hands down! I had to force myself to put this book down. It started off slow, but after the first chapter I was hooked. It is captivating, a true modern day fairy tale. Rania Ahmed and Adam Gibson go against all odds and prove that love has no boundaries if it is truly meant to be. The ending has me wanting more!

Review of Against Her Will by Peter Martin

Against Her Will
Peter Martin

Donna is a successful Statistical Analyst, she was a hard worker and didn't let anything stand in her way. What should have been a night to remember ended up being a nightmare and one she would never forget. Leaving work late she hurries out to catch a train to meet up with her fiance, Blake. They were going out to celebrate their anniversary, while waiting she was brutally raped and attacked. This is where Donna's life starts spiraling out of control. Being unable to cope with her daily struggles, she soon moves back in with her parents. Donna did not have a easy childhood. They controlled every move she made, wanting her to model and be something she had no desire to become. Still unable to cope she feels suicide is her best escape. . .. .

As Donna struggles to cope in the hospital she become friends with a male nurse, Evan. Evan becomes the friend she needs and feels she can trust. Their friendship grows as their love for each other.

Peter Martin knocked this one out of the park! This is one book that will make you cry, mad and just wanting to rip into someone. Peter takes the sensitive subject of rape and makes you understand what they go thru on a daily basis. At times I found myself upset with Donna, but I had to step back and remember she is a victim, one that changed her whole world changed  in a matter of minutes. Peter did a wonderful job with all the characters and the twist and turns was beyond awesome !  ! ! !
