Photographing the Dead by Dean Koontz
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This second in a series of short stories is just as exciting as the first. The ending is outstanding in that it provides an unexpected and ingenious method of rendering justice. Loved it!

The Praying Mantis Bride by Dean Koontz
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed the first two stories in this series. This third one was not nearly as good. The story plot was interesting, but the enjoyment was lessened by too many euphemisms. Sorry! I am a huge Koontz fan – yet for me this one was a little off the mark!!.

The Mercy of Snakes by Dean Koontz
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love any Dean Koontz book. These small stories are interesting and compelling tales. I wish they were longer, but I think that at the end of all his books! I would highly recommend this and the others in this series.

The Devil in America by Kai Ashante Wilson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is mesmerizing and heart-breaking story and i completely loved it, even though it just ripped me apart as I read it but yet beautifully told. It is a story about the evil of slavery and racism is woven together with magic and family bonds stretching back through generations. This book “The Devil In America” devastated me with it’s powerful language, orginal imagination, and bleeding-raw emotion. Wilson’s writing is masterful – hinting and suggesting to make you understand so much with his concentrated, suggestive and forceful prose.

The Precipice by Paul Doiron
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve never read this author before, but I am somewhat familiar with the area this book takes place in… It’s an accurate depiction of that area and a gripping mystery that makes you not want to put it down. The ending is climactic, but yet not telegraphed in the earlier parts of the book… The pacing is smart and fast. The descriptions of the Maine wilderness are beautiful. Mr. Doiron reminds us that the Nature in general, and the AT in particular, offer challenge, escape, excitement, danger, and solace, but make no moral judgments. It’s people who do that. A great read!
