The Calling

The Calling
Inger Ash Wolfe | 2009-01-01 00:00:00 | Mariner Books | 384 | Fiction Other
The characters are beautifully delineated. Hazel is a formidable but flawed woman with a dry sense of humor. She is a technophobe who hates cell phones and computers, but is also a savvy investigator who uses whatever tools are needed (both people and computers, as it turns out) to find the perpetrator. Greene, Harriet's deputy, has always been loyal to her, but as time passes, he becomes uncomfortable with her unorthodox "buffet style policing." Detective Constable Wingate has great instincts; he offers valuable insight and a mature perspective that is unusual in someone so young. Simon is a bizarre villain who does not fit the usual stereotypes. He is careful, extremely organized, and highly intelligent. "His touchstones were patience and preparation." But who is he really? Is he a psychotic angel of death, a mercy killer, or a combination of both? What exactly is his agenda and can Harriet arrest him before he completes his "mission" and disappears forever? As it turns out, nothing is simple in "The Calling." Inger Ash Wolfe has written an original and nightmarish police procedural that demonstrates just how difficult and frustrating detective work can be. As Hazel says so eloquently, "Nothing, not even a life in law enforcement, could prepare you for the wild imaginings some people, in their passionate madness, could unleash."

'48

'48
James Herbert | 1998-01-01 00:00:00 | Eos | 448 | Fiction Other
By no means a deep, meaningful, or socially conscious novel, '48 simply offers vivid scenery and top notch entertainment, and I was completely incapable of putting it down. (I stayed up till 4AM to finish it) It's non-stop action from cover to cover, and its the perfect answer for an otherwise quiet evening. Don't listen to all the negative reviews, because in terms of sheer entertainment value this book is quality. Enjoy.

Double Minds: A Novel

Double Minds: A Novel
Terri Blackstock | 2009-01-01 00:00:00 | Zondervan | 336 | Fiction Other
The superb whodunit adds deep excitement to a strong thought provoking Christian thriller with an apt title. Terri Blackstock provides an intriguing look at modern American Christian thought with dedicated believers struggling to adhere to scripture while also trying to make it in the wider world. Parker's BFF Serene has a chance to break out beyond the relatively small pond of Christian music to that of the oceanic sized pop scene, but would need Parker to modify lyrics that would still remain inspiring yet take them outside scripture. This is Christian suspense at its best as Ms. Blackstock takes her readers outside their pious comfort zone.

The 37th Hour

The 37th Hour
Jodi Compton | 2005-01-01 00:00:00 | Dell | 352 | Fiction Other
Even though this is first and foremost a mystery story, it's main focus turns out to be about relationships. Starting with the husband and wife relationship displayed by Sarah and Shiloh. Although it appears strong at the start, and indeed it probably is, Sarah soon comes to the realisation that there is much about her husband she doesn't know. The next relationship spotlighted is the friendship forged as fellow police officers by Sarah and Genevieve. But this too is revealed to be fragile as Sarah fells she is unable to supply the support Genevieve needs in her grief. Finally there is a brother / sister relationship that is revealed towards the end of the book that holds secrets from Shiloh's past.

The way the book finished gave me the strong impression that this was the first of a series featuring Sarah Pribek. If this is the case then Jodi Compton will definitely be an author to look out for by readers who like a bit more depth to their characters.

Rise of the Poison Moon

Rise of the Poison Moon
MaryJanice Davidson | 2010-01-01 00:00:00 | Ace | 304 | Fiction Other
Fascinatingly, as Winoka remains isolated, the species trapped inside are unable to forge a mutually needed alliance, which leaves all in peril. Mostly told inside the magical containment area, Jennifer's troubles and danger mount while outside hell has broken loose too. Although the innocence that marked the earlier young adult urban fantasies in the saga is long gone as pragmatism has replaced it, fans of the series will enjoy Jennifer Scales and the Rise of the Poison Moon.

When Women Were Warriors: A Hero's Tale

When Women Were Warriors: A Hero's Tale
Catherine M. Wilson | 2008-01-01 00:00:00 | Shield Maiden Press | 304 | Fiction Other
The classic hero of myth and legend is defined in masculine terms. How, then, can there be an authentic female hero - a hero who is both authentic as a hero and authentic as a woman? While the hero's journey is one of the most ancient and most popular themes of world literature, casting a female protagonist in this classic form is fraught with difficulty. The heroic archetype portrays the hero as the embodiment of the masculine ideal. But to judge a woman by the strengths and virtues of the typical male hero does her an injustice, because women have strengths and virtues of their own. The hero of When Women Were Warriors becomes a hero, not by defeating her enemies in battle, although she does that too, but by learning to master herself and to understand the human heart. She becomes, not a powerful person, but a person of power.
