Monday Mini # 4 – Ready To Die by Lisa Jackson

Lisa Jackson has many novels and I have read a lot of them. Ready To Die is a new release that I picked up at the library.

The yellow of the cover grabbed my attention and as I looked at the tree branches, the face emerged. Is that a tear I see in her eye?

Ready to Die (Selena Alvarez and Regan Pescoli) by Lisa Jackson

Detective Regan Pescoli had called Sherriff Dan Grayson and told him she needed to talk to him. She arrives at his home as he is being gunned down by a sniper.

I never hesitate to pick up a book by LIsa Jackson. Her stories have entertained me for many hours and I was happy to add Ready To Die to that list. The mystery of the sniper will keep you guessing. I thought I knew who the perpetrator was, but Lisa added some twists and turns that left me shaking my head, telling myself I should have seen that coming. Just when I thought the story was told, Lisa took it a step further and then another. As I closed the book, I couldn’t help but smile.

My only complaint was the quality of the editing. It was bad enough, that it interrupted the flow of the story. I do not expect to stumble through a book written by a New York Times Best Selling author like Lisa Jackson.

Wild Times on Skidaway Island by Karen Dove Barr

 photo goodreads-badge-add-38px11_zps1ae6e47f.jpg

Wild Times on Skidaway Island, Georgia’s Historic Rain Forest, details life in a unique Audubon-designated, ecologically friendly refuge. There, golfers pitch balls around endangered great blue herons, mama raccoons march their babies across backyard decks where once Guale Indians trapped ancestors of the same raccoons, and residents dodge alligators and rescue snakes.

Even the vegetation is wild. Three hundred-year-old oaks dripping Spanish moss and poison ivy surmount an under-story of wax myrtle and holly. Carolina jasmine, Cherokee roses, and endangered orchids grow wild in the rain forest. The book examines choices residents make when stared down by a bald eagle, when a red-tailed hawk mistakes a golf ball for bird food, when wakened at midnight by deer munching hibiscus. Wild Times on Skidaway Island educates about the species that residents must adapt to on this historic island.

Ready to Die (Selena Alvarez and Regan Pescoli)

NothingHis blood quickens as he stares at the photographs. Six faces, all guilty–and detectives Regan Pescoli and Selena Alvarez are at the top of his list. One by one, he’ll stalk them, then he’ll squeeze the trigger, savoring the way each lifeless body crumples to the reddening snow. One down already. And then there were five. . .Can Prepare You

Sheriff Dan Grayson lies near death after a shooting, and the police department of Grizzly Falls, Montana, is in shock. Alvarez, torn between a new relationship and her loyalty to Grayson, works with Pescoli to whittle down the list of suspects. The deeper they go, the more personal and dangerous the case becomes. Then a prominent judge’s body is found and the killer sends a sinister warning to the press: “Who’s Next?”

To Face A Killer

Pescoli isn’t waiting to find out. Headstrong and eager for justice, she’ll track the scant clues on her own if she has to. But her search leads her straight to a monster who has had her in his sights all along. And when hunter meets prey, both must be willing to kill–and ready to die. . .

Mind Shadows I: Shattered by Patrick Royal

The only thing that multi-published, award winning horror author, Tom Elliot, wanted was to move to the country for a change of scenery and relaxation, to a quiet part of southern Illinois. It seemed he’d picked out a wonderful spot, miles away from the closest neighbor and even further away from civilization.Tom couldn’t write to save his soul. Weird thoughts trampled through his head and left him wondering if he’d made a mistake moving from Chicago. Could it have been that he ripped himself from his element, like his best friend, Michael Gully, had predicted? That he couldn’t answer yet.

Words came and flowed like wildfire, but at what price? Tom’s imagination was getting the best of him and running rampant. The very characters that he created tormented him, driving him mad where he couldn’t distinguish fiction from reality.
