The Dark Net (ADULT)

The dark net is a place for people to go to stay anonymous and still do their illegal and illicit deeds on a far corner of the web, a spot so deep you can't be traced or found, but now there are even shadier creatures lurking there, literally.  There is a small group that stands in their way of dominating present day Portland, fifteen year old Hannah, her Aunt Lela, Juniper, and Derek, in a very real struggle for the dark and the light.
When I first read about the book I thought it was all computers, I have to tell you right now it is not.  So if you are not the tech savvy, all computer, code in the book, kind of lover, than you will love this book.  This book is more about the fight between the light and the dark, a age old tale with a very new spin on it and that is fresh.  I really enjoyed this book with the strong characters and thought out plot, it keeps you wanting to read on well past your bedtime. 

Sparks of Light (YA)

A riveting sequel to Into the Dim, Sparks of Light brings back the whole gang and after learning of plans to steal a time traveling device  from 1800's New York, off they go on their own adventure to get it  first and save the timeline from utter chaos.  And who better than the renown scientist Nikola Tesla to have discovered it and built it, with some very bad help.  Will to love conquer all or will death reign in this arena to see who gets the device first?
This is another awesome book filled  with action, history, science, more action, twist and turns you won't see coming, a little romance (but not a lot), and even more action that does not stop.  I loved this book it really keeps you on your toes, every bit of it is a cliffhanger, you never want to put it  down because you just want to see what is going to happen next.  I took a while for this book to come out but it surely will not disappoint. 

Genius: The Con (YA)

Sequel to Genius: The Game this book starts out right where the story left off, however, if you read on it does fill in the blanks so you don't necessarily have to have read book one, but it is a really good book and you will want to read it anyways after reading this one so why not go ahead and read them in order.  :)
Painted Wolf gets Rex and Tunde out of dodge and into Tunde's village with his special EMP weapon for the local warlord that is holding Tunde's family and people hostage.  But the three teens have also came with plans to hopefully defeat the warlord once and for all, but if it doesn't work they will kill everyone, and never find Rex's brother.
This is such a non stop action packed book, I just could not put it down.  If you like techy stuff and books filled with action all the time this is for you.  The three main characters are so cool I would love to tag along with them some time and just watch them do their thing and maybe learn something. I think Painted Wolf is my hero, but Rex is so cool on the computer, but I am more like Tunde with mechanical skills.  So it is easy to find something of yourself in at least one of  the characters and follow that along in the story so it is like you are there, in the action with them.  So much fun!

Out of the Soylent Planet (A Rex Nihilo Adventure) Book 0 (ADULT)

This is a story of a futuristic con man (Rex) and a robot assistant (Sasha) that is stuck with Rex since Rex was conned into buying Sasha, so Sasha tries her best to help Rex the best she can.  But after being sent to the planet Jorfu to atone (or die) for some errant con and money owed to one king pin.  Rex and Sasha find themselves on the run for their lives and the only thing that will save them is the take over of the company Ubiqorp.
This is one action packed, suspenseful, funny, book, and when in their two other friends than it will really get you laughing.  These two find friends in odd places but get caught by Ubiqorp in the most predictable places.  It can be a comedy of errors and with Sasha's shutting down and rebooting at the wrong time issue it can just be a fun book, but the question still remains is soylent people?

Real Life Evil A True Crime Quickie Book One (ADULT AUDIO)

This is a audiobook for true crime book lovers that don't have the time to listen or read a full length book.  This first book centers on two stories, the first being, "Hiding in Plain Sight" that focuses serial killer Jack Unterweger and his most dangerous but clever, simplistic methodology to lure and kill his prey.  The second, "A Message From the Grave", still haunts Long Island New York, it is the Gilgo Beach murders in which they still to this day have not caught the person responsible.  Both stories are told very well and  with the right amount of detail, book narrator Jason Fella keeps it professional but pleasing with a wonderful voice for these stories there is a creep factor but one that is supposed to be there not one that is added to spook you.  The crime scene details and other technical aspects are explained well so everyone can understand.  This is really a outstanding quick book for the true crime lover in your life.

Marcus A Death Knocks Story (YA AUDIO)

This is a awesome novella on the back story of Marcus and what happened during that blank time when he became a BEK (black eyed kid), even though his turning did not exactly go as planned, and now he still doesn't want to be BEK and is resisting.  Despite the urges Marcus, with Astid there to help, isn't going to bend to Level Six's will and be what he knows he is not.  But he will use some of his new found abilities for good, like scaring his little brother and his friends into not using drugs. 
This was a really good back story, and you got to learn a lot about Marcus, his dreams and what he was really like, not just what he portrayed on the outside and that was special.  Jeff Simpson the audiobook narrator does a awesome Marcus and that made this book the much special.  This novella still had the action and suspense that you are used to from this series so no worries, the BEK's never disappoint.
