Review 252: Gardens of Night by Greg Gifune

Review 252: Gardens of Night by Greg Gifune

By Jaime Hypes on October 29, 2011

Greg Gifune does not write for those who find psychological darkness an uncomfortable territory. Gardens of Night is a disturbing journey between reality and psychotic breaks, both of which become blurred the further you read.

Review 165: Dressed for a Kill by Brian Bianco

Review 165: Dressed for a Kill by Brian Bianco

By Peter Hassebroek on October 1, 2010

Dressed for a Kill, Brian Bianco’s first novel, is a suspense / thriller with all the elements: a light read but complex storyline, fast pace, plot twists, and a slick cover. Yet while interesting and enjoyable in places, this is not as rewarding a read as it could be.

Review 106: The Red Fog by Nicole Tanner

Review 106: The Red Fog by Nicole Tanner

By Guest Reviewers on August 24, 2009

When I looked at the first chapter, before I got into the story, I was immediately impressed by a writing style which is highly descriptive and manages to express such atmosphere. This is what draws me into a story more than anything else. Deana, the protagonist and narrator, talks in a casual, natural manner, and (I feel) projects a somber sense of foreboding appropriate to her tale.

Review 94: Altered Life by Keith Dixon

Review 94: Altered Life by Keith Dixon

By Dan Marvin on July 10, 2009

I was excited to get my copy of Altered Life, a detective thriller from Keith Dixon. He was nice enough to send me a copy all the way across the pond and I dove into it the same day it arrived. The description on the Lulu page hooked me: ‘Altered Life transplants the attitude and pace of the American private eye story into a contemporary English setting.’

Review 35: Red Asphalt by Scott Cherney

Review 35: Red Asphalt by Scott Cherney

By Shannon Yarbrough on September 21, 2008

At a time when there are more drivers on the road than ever, and with the rising costs of fuel and heavy usage of cell phones behind the wheel, a novel about road rage couldn’t have come at a better time. Although I don’t even own a cell phone, but have definitely spent at least a full paycheck or two this year in gas alone, I definitely suffer from road rage like many others.
