I don't often do full reviews of books that I buy or borrow, but A Pledge of Silence is such a good book that I had to tell you about it.

Lakes of Mars by Merritt Graves ~ a Review
by MK French
Aaron Sheridan had hoped to die in the Rim War after his entire family died in the shuttle crash he was piloting. Instead, he wound up at Corinth Station, the command school for the Fleet. Though he was detached from the brutality and posturing of the students and instructors, he did make one friend. Standing up for that friend made Aaron a target, but learning that officer training isn't the Station's only purpose made it clear that he couldn't keep himself isolated any longer.

The Fall of the Faere and Other Stories by William Timothy Murray ~ a Review
by Donna Huber
I'm not much of a fantasy reader. I've read enough to have some understanding of the mythos of witches and vampires, but faere stories still elude me. It always feels like I'm missing something. So when William Timothy Murray offered me his short story collection at a local author event, I warned him that it wasn't something I normally read.

The Au Pair by Emma Rous ~ a Review #TeaserTuesday
by Susan Roberts
A grand estate, terrible secrets, and a young woman who bears witness to it all. If V. C. Andrews and Kate Morton had a literary love child, Emma Rous’ The Au Pair would be it.

Bird Box: A Netflix Film Review #MondayBlogs
by Alison DeLuca
Two summers ago I wrote a column about Bird Box, the book that exploded on Netflix as a film. (If you missed my original post, read it here. It includes a recipe for a Caesar Salad bar, which you really need in your life.)

EVO by Diane May ~ a Review
by MK French
Twenty years ago, a secret program posing as a fertility clinic for CIA agents was actually conducting genetic experiments. Ties to that program still exist and are slowly unearthed as The Hypnotist starts killing geneticists in Verona, Italy. The victims all appear as if they had been roasted alive, though The Hypnotist never touches them and only leaves video behind. Livio Marchioni is at his wit's end, particularly when the new coroner is a target, and accepts the help of Captain Victor Miller of Interpol. It's soon apparent that Miller has an agenda of his own, Eoand is fully aware of the prior CIA program.
