Covenant of the Dead

This certainly was a different book then my normal.  It was filled with nuns, priests, a pope, a scholar, and a medium to round out the cast, and one is a murderer, and has been for a long time, but who?  This book will take you all around the Boston area and some areas in Vatican City.  But when a nun and the scholar, being old friends, team up for a paper to publish on the subject of nunicide they didn’t know they would also be the ones to solve these heinous crimes.

Kind of Dan Brown but not either.  It was a wonderful book and I loved the characters, even the creepy ones.  This book will keep you guessing until the end but learning some of the insights in to the Catholic church is interesting, especially the past.  I really like this book because of the mystery that is hard to solve.


 

Salvage System 2

You would think after surviving the Salvage System and saving their city that Chis Mason and friends would get a little break to rest to recover, but the system has other ideas and sending them to a new world and stripping the group of skills and their attribute that pretty much sends the group back to newbie status.  They have to find and try to make some new friends before the other creatures kill them all, but they will have to figure out who the good guys and bad guys are, not to mention make friends with some who would rather you go away, while avoiding the ones that want to eat you for lunch.

This is another wonderful book/audio by the very talented Sansbury-Smith and a voice actor not to be missed, Michael Krammer, in this the story of Chris Mason and friends.  The characters are fun and I really love Bunny and it is awesome that he gets a girlfriend.  I loved the Hell Diver references that popped up every now and again, very fun for those of who get to listen/read the different series of the author.   I love how these misfits have come together and are now more of a family then just a group.  This is a great book/audio and I can not wait for book 3.
