The Kat Beckman Thriller Series
Not seeing it as necessary for a story, Kat wants nothing to do with it, but Van takes it very seriously after realizing what’s on this device.
This is the first book I’ve read in this series, and I couldn’t put it down. Not a dull moment in the book. It’s not an easy read because of the evil people who want this information and will do anything to get it, but it’s worth the read.

A Detective Emily Tizzano Vigilante Justice Thriller
Book 1: Twelve Years Gone
Book 2: Lakeview Vendetta
Emily Tizzano, a former Chicago detective, found out about
an investment scam where many lost every penny they had. Trusted the wrong
person. She had emails from people asking her to help, but she wasn’t sure
about helping anymore, not after her last case. When it became a bit more
personal…she had no choice. She had to help.
Emily heads to New York City to learn more about the
company that had ruined many lives. So many of the prominent people from the
company had gone into hiding. Including the woman who owned the company. Along
with them…billions of dollars that didn’t belong to them.
I enjoyed this page-turning story that lets the reader see
the different POVs of those involved.
When an FBI agent comes to her for help on a cold case, she goes to South Bend, Indiana, to check it out and see if she wants to help. It’s fifteen years old and doesn’t seem to have any loose ends for her to grab until a new case appears connected to the three cold cases.
I enjoy this author’s books. They are written so that you get to know most leading players somewhat, whether they are the victims, the villains, or Emily.

Travis Bishop Thrillers
Travis Bishop is content working with horses. He left the
CIA and wants nothing more to do with it. So when his friend, Elena Lobranova,
calls on him to join her on a mission, he says no. But, she had left the flash
drive with photos of many dead CIA assets in Ukraine. They were at risk because
of a list with their names.
The faces of the dead from the drive have Travis changing
his mind. For Elena, the woman who’s like a sister to him. It was supposed to
be a quick trip in and out. Right. What could go wrong did.
This book is written from Travis’s POV only. I couldn’t put it down until the end. Well written and full of action.
It is heart-pumping as the fast-paced story has Travis on a dangerous rescue. And, when he finally hits US soil again and thinks he’s done…his country still needs him. The President trusts him and personally asks him to see this job through.
Sometimes you just can’t retire. I enjoyed the storyline and the characters, as harrowing as it sometimes gets.

A Jess Montgomery Thriller
Jess Montgomery, Senior Intelligence Analyst, was asked to help her boss’s friend. Charlie’s friend Anthony had caught a case he wanted a second look at from their analyst background. Jess was busy on a project…but if the boss said go, she best go.
Four dead and one person unaccounted for was terrible enough, but other things pointed out that this was much more than a botched robbery. One thing led to another, and none of it was good.
A
page-turning story that seems like it could happen in real life. Excellent
writing.
Detective Max Grady Thrillers
Detective Max Grady is a particular kind of guy. After a
dysfunctional childhood with an abusive dad, he needs order in his life. So Max
says it like it is, whether rude or not. Good thing his partner at work,
Detective Cassie Reynolds, is compassionate…although he’s not fond of her
apologizing for him.
He’s dealt with many cases in his ten years, but when Noah
Chandler and his son Gabe come in—it’s mind-boggling. The guy’s wife is missing
and has been gone for a while, but Noah hadn’t been worried. Seems the wife,
Macy, goes on adventures alone.
After Noah received a phone call about a ransom…everything
changed.
A page-turning read that keeps adding new facts…and more confusion for Max.
Detective Max Grady was visiting his boss at Spring Valley
Medical Center. Williams had finally got his hip surgery done. Of course, he
didn’t want to be here, but he’d been told to play nice. So when what felt like
an earthquake and evacuation calls rang out, it was up to Grady to get Williams
to safety. And then the race was on. Someone had bombed the facility.
He was put in charge, and Grady doesn’t play nice with
anyone. FBI thought they were in charge. As all the agencies got involved,
Grady went down his path, as always, with his partner, Cassie Reynolds. They
had a bomber loose in Pittsburgh, and he wanted to find and stop him.
This story pulled me in and had me turning the pages from
beginning to end. I felt bad for the villain, although he took the wrong path
for vengeance. The reader gets to see inside the minds of several characters
through their POVs, yet the story still flows smoothly.
Detective Max Grady was having a tough day. His mom passed
away, so he must return to work and solve cases. He hoped his mom could rest
peacefully, as she sure didn’t live it. His abusive father had beaten her…and
him. His older brother, Ben, unfortunately, has their father’s rage. Ben is an
adult, a powerful adult, with the mind of a child.
Now that he has more murders to solve. His partner, Cassie
Reynolds, is the opposite of Grady. She is always cheerful and pleasant
compared to his being grumpy and short-tempered. Work calls as there has been a
double murder in the next county, so for some, life goes on as they go to find
a killer.
I like how this author writes from different POVs. She usually lets you get a glimpse of the victim before they die and also the killer. Page-turning stories.
Detective Max Grady is in big trouble. He lost his control…and then lost everything he was. Three months later, he becomes more like the man who fathered him than he’d ever admit.
Meanwhile, Detective Cassie Reynolds, Grady’s former partner, is getting hit with case after case, body after body. The PD is short-staffed, and she’s on her own. When the cases seem to be connected, she needs Grady’s help
.
A page-turning story from beginning to end. I don’t want to give too many details and spoil it for anyone, but it’s another great story.

Detective Morgan Foster Vigilante Justice
Morgan felt terrible that she’d lost touch with her best friend from childhood. The woman had been in her wedding even. The next thing she knew, Morgan was pulled into helping with the investigation to find Faith’s killer. She refused to be reinstated as a detective, but she was driven to help her friend in death since she’d lost track of her when she was alive.
After they had to figure out what Faith was looking into and who could’ve wanted her dead, the detectives didn’t have much to go on. A page-turner.
When a man comes to the door in the early morning hours,
Morgan is soon caught up in a case again. When Amber is called out on a case,
and Morgan rides with her, she sees that her morning visitor and this case are
connected.
It's another excellent thriller that keeps the reader on
their toes and the pages turning.
