GIVEAWAY: Audio book of IRON HOUSE by John Hart

Audio Book Giveaway of Iron House (12 CDs $39.99 value)

Iron House by John Hart is a great read and we are excited to have the audio book containing 12 CDS to give away including a bonus interview with the author. Who wants it? Both Gerard and I read this and it was his favorite book for July and so far is my favorite for August. It is a thriller about Michael who is trying to leave the mobsters who were like family to him and start a normal life with a woman he loves. However, he also has a younger mentally ill brother who he feels obligated to protect and in the process, makes some surprising discoveries. It all goes back to when they were orphans living at the Iron House orphanage.  Here is the link to our review of Iron House by John Hart.

"Devils In Exile" by Chuck Hogan

Devils In Exile by Chuck Hogan is a real good novel about an Iraq war vet who comes home and cannot find a job. By chance he joins up with some men who intercept drug deals, taking the money and destroying the product. As you would suspect, the drug lords are none too happy and go after these guys they call the "Sugar Bandits."

I liked this book because it kept moving along at a pretty good pace. It's a quick read. The best part is that it looks like there could be a sequel; I hope so! I give this a Wow and a half!

"Look Again" by Lisa Scottoline

Look Again by Lisa Scottoline is the second book I have read by her.  It’s about a Ellen, a journalist and single mother who thinks her adopted son looks a lot like the face of a missing child on a postcard she received in the mail.  She becomes paranoid that neighbors may think she kidnapped him and is afraid she may lose him.  Nevertheless, she can’t ignore the fact that her 3-yr.-old son, Will, looks like the missing kid, Timothy.  She goes on a search for the truth to hopefully prove Will is not the same child that turns deadly.  This is a book that starts slowly and an ending that did not surprise me.  My favorite characters were Marcelo, Ellen’s boss and Will’s cat, Oreo Figaro.  I didn’t care much for Ellen at the beginning but did get to like her by the end of the book.  She was smart and courageous. 

If you like books about fierce mothers who fight for their kids or books that address moral dilemmas, this is a good one for you.  I liked Save Me by Lisa Scottoline better though.  My husband starting this one but said it was a woman’s book and gave up on it.  I agree with him—it is geared more to women.

Teaser Tuesdays: "Never Knowing" by Chevy Stevens

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along, so I thought I would play for fun! Just do the following:

-- Grab your current read
-- Open to a random page
-- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
-- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
-- Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser.
 
We are both reading the same book so only have one teaser for you today:

"Why didn't you tell me you found her?"  He sounded confused.
"Because I also found out my real father is the Campsite Killer."

Taken from page 32 of Never Knowing by Chevy Stevens, author of Still Missing which we both liked.

"The Silent Land" by Graham Joyce

The Silent Land by Graham Joyce is a small book about a couple who survive a snow avalanche . . . or do they? They think there are no other living things around, but then you wonder if they are not alone at all.  This book got me thinking, which is good!
