The Stolen Girls by Patricia Gibney

4.0

The Stolen Girls is one of the good mystery thriller books! The author has well developed detective Lottie’s character and the character is maintained well throughout. Some chapters in between felt like a stretch, but the theme and the storyline is thrilling. Fast discovery. Good old victim-suspect story. But the author manages to engage the reader with the story very well. I read it in two days! Amazing. Will definitely look into more of Patricia Gibney’s books. Thank you netgalley for this amazing read.
Tarizon: Desert Swarm by William Manchee

Go to review page

4.0

Its an interesting plot of what a common man, a man of God and a man of science think about a sudden structure that erupted from the ground and continues to grow inches in time. The story is wonderfully written and well suits in a SciFi Historical Fiction genre. Desert Swarm is a good addition to Tarizon series. This is my first book from this series. Mr.Manchee captures the thinking process of men who believe in different things and manages to keep the reader well informed and gripped till the last. Lost a star because the story supposedly happens in 50s, but the flow of the story, made me feel that the story happens later in time rather later than 50s.
Thank you Voracious Readers and the author William Manchee for sending a reader’s copy.
