[Review] — INTO THE GRAY ZONE by Brad Taylor (★★★★✰)

While on a routine security assessment in India, Taskforce operator Pike Logan foils an attempted attack on a meeting between the CIA and India’s intelligence service. Both government agencies believe it’s nothing more than a minor terrorist attack, but Pike suspects that something much more sinister is at play. After another terrorist operation at the Taj Mahal, he begins to believe that outside powers are attacking India in the gray zone between peace and war, leveraging terrorist groups for nothing more than economic gain. But the separatists conducting the operations have their own agenda.

[Review] —BATTLE MOUNTAIN by C.J. Box (★★★★★)


BATTLE MOUNTAIN 
A Joe Pickett Novel 
by C.J. Box 
Putnam, 2025 

The campaign of destruction that Axel Soledad and Dallas Cates wreaked on Nate Romanowski and Joe Pickett left both men in tatters, especially Nate, who lost almost everything. Wondering if the civilized life left him vulnerable to attack, Nate dropped off the grid with his falcons in tow to prepare for vengeance. 
 
When Joe gets a call from the governor asking for help finding his son-in-law, who has gone missing in the Sierra Madre mountain range, he enlists the help of a local, a rookie game warden named Susan Kany. 

 As Nate and fellow falconer Geronimo Jones circle closer to their prey, Joe and Susan follow the nearly cold trail to Warm Springs. Little do Nate and Joe know that their separate journeys are about to converge . . . at Battle Mountain.

[Review] — NOT THE KILLING KIND by Maria Kelson (★★★½✰)

[Review] — NOT THE KILLING KIND by Maria Kelson (★★★½✰)


Crime thrillers are everywhere, often with similar titles and cover designs that make it hard for readers to choose a specific one. What caught my eye about NOT THE KILLING KIND by Maria Kelson was not just the title but the cover art—it reminded me of the famous show "Twin Peaks.” However, the book itself is different from "Twin Peaks,"—nothing in common at all—and that’s not a bad thing.

[Review] — Tom Clancy's DEFENSE PROTOCOL by Andrews & Wilson (★★★★★)

Tom Clancy's military thrillers have electrified readers for generations, and the excitement continues to buzz even after his passing. His estate, in collaboration with publisher Putnam, has ensured that his legacy lives on by bringing in exciting new voices to expand his universe. A standout is last year’s explosive release of DEFENSE PROTOCOL, the thrilling 25th installment in the Jack Ryan series, co-penned by the dynamic duo, Andrews & Wilson—Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson.

[Review] — Leigh Whannell's WOLF MAN (★★½✰✰)

[Review] — Leigh Whannell's WOLF MAN (★★½✰✰)

Why is it so hard to restart the Universal Monster Universe? The 2010 remake of The Wolfman bombed at the box office, even though I found it enjoyable. Then there was The Mummy in 2017, starring Tom Cruise, a total flop. This pretty much stopped any plans for a shared Dark Universe. However, 2020 brought us The Invisible Man, written and directed by Leigh Whannell and produced by Blumhouse. That one did well both financially and critically, giving fans a bit of hope for the future. Unfortunately, those hopes were dashed with this year's release of WOLF MAN. Despite being co-written and directed by Whannell and produced by Blumhouse, the film fell flat and struggled at the box office. It’s now trying to make a comeback with its recent digital release and an upcoming physical release—LIMITED EDITION STEELBOOK, 4K UHD, BLU-RAY™ & DVD coming on March 18, 2025.
