"The Blue Garou (Detective 'Cadillac' Holland Mystery Series Book 1)" by H. Max Hiller

"The Blue Garou" is a zesty New Orleans style, culturally rich novel, centered around an unsolvable murder. H. Max Hiller's ability to make his readers feel as if they were actually in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, is impeccable. His attention to detail is bested only by his knowledge of the region. I have never visited New Orleans, but feel I've come to know more about the traditions, and food just from reading this story.

Detective "Cadillac" Holland decided to take a change of pace, and leave the intelligence community he'd grown accustom too, to become an officer of the law for Louisiana's State Patrol.  He felt this was his best option to finding out the whereabouts of his missing father who'd gone missing among the terrible wreckage of Katrina. As a fair amount of time passes, it becomes clear to Cadillac that he must change things up a bit and dig deeper. As his sister pushes Holland to pursue an infamous Pit bull as the cause for everything, Cadillac only begins to touch the surface of the rabbit hole. Soon, the Detective has more than he can handle when his findings wash up a well-to-do record label, a horde of missing weapons, an illegal dog fighting ring, and so much more. Will Detective Cadillac Holland be able to gain the upper hand and put a stop to the series of crimes connected to the murder? Or, will he become swept up in the madness of it all?

I found this enriching novel to be well written, and a fantastic read. Not only did I feel like I'd walked away from the book with a better understanding of the impact of Katrina, but I found an enticing novel. Give this Hard-boiled read a shot, you won't be sorry!

The knowledge that his father possesses is much sought after, and highly regulated to be deemed dangerous . These types of doorways are shortcuts between different worlds meant for Terra forming new planets, and common in the world Quin was reared in. Quin works for a futuristic government, and must find out where his father is to save the world from a catastrophic event. Accompanied by his friend John, Quin embarks on his mission, visiting other worlds in the process.

 This captivating, dark physiological read will have you at the edge of your seat, looking into the life of not one, but two young serial killers. Can you imagine double the trouble? Two seemingly innocent girls, are forced to become the very monster that morphs them into the spine-chilling duo they presently are in the book.

Sisters Jannifer and Stacey seem to be happy, and full of spirit. They have a loving family, and are living the life that most normal 13 year old's live. That is, until a horrible tragedy is forced upon the twins, leaving them no choice but to endure the torture of their beloved parents and of themselves. This single, staggering event, changes the young girl's lives in ways they could never expect. Ways, that transformed their impressionable minds into that of a serial killer. No longer the innocent, gentle beings they were before their parent's brutal murders, the twins embark on a spree of vengeance. What had my mind racing, was the fact that the Author's writing allows you to actually feel sorry for the twins, even as they commit atrocious acts of evil. Will they ever get caught? As a reader, I was torn between whether I wanted the twins to feel the wrath of the justice system...

I enjoyed every second of this thrilling story, and cannot wait to dive into the next book in the series. Just from reading the back of the book, it looks to be just as enticing as the first!

"TreeMakers" by Christina L. Rozelle

In this eye-catching Dystopian tale of uprising, "Treemakers" shines as a  dark, and inviting tale of a fallout world that could be. A world so decimated and twisted that the defenseless children are forced to basically take care of themselves. The remaining teenagers tend to the smaller children, and all the while the human population struggles to breath. Even just taking a stroll outside is out of the question. I was impressed with the depth the author dove into building the world of Treemakers, and could tell she took her time with this novel. She owns vivid descriptions throughout the book, and immerses the reader into the near-uninhabitable world, forcing them to understand the hardships of our story.

We are promptly introduced to a level-headed, 16 year old Joy (Momma), the kind and motherly type. She took it upon herself to nurture the younger children at the station (reminded me of Katniss from Hunger Games Actually :).  As you can imagine, Joy nearly overloads her days with responsibilities to the point where she nearly can't take it anymore. She's only human/slave, and can only take so much pressure under the reign of the awful Superiors who could careless about her. It occurred to me how amazing this young clan of colorful children could manage to take care of themselves with so much going on. It all came down to one thing, the will to survive. The children are forced to manufacture trees for precious oxygen that would be distributed across all of Bygonne. Joy has had enough, and decides to risk it all by finding out the truth behind everything she thought she knew. The plot thickens as she realizes the truth and Joy has no choice but to try their luck at escaping. Will they be able to make it? When so many others failed in the attempt? Not to mention there are hideous monsters lurking about, ready to snatch the children at any moment! One thing is for sure, no where is safe, and they had better keep their wits about them.

I would like to recommend some tissues before reading this novel. It has some heartbreaking elements that will absolutely make you have an ugly cry. If you can handle that, you'll absolutely love this story. It has deep plot twist, and all around a fantastic read. I'll definitely be reading Rozelle's next book!
