For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.
A searing pain impacted her stomach, followed by several more blows near her ribcage. A large knife stabbed through her torso repeatedly, thrust after thrust.
Rhythmic.
Intense.

Silent Partner by Jennifer Chase
ISBN: 9780982953600
Publisher: JEC Press/2010
Pages: 308
The ending is a complete surprise. Why am I starting from the end? Because this starts with the usual story line. Even one starts to thins it is predictable somewhere in between. But no, it is a complete turnaround.
Jack Davis works as a K9 officer in the local police department. When a murder is committed, he gets to meet Megan again. They have known each other since they were children. It is her sister who is murdered. And Megan is a suspect. There is this psychopath killer Darrell Brooks, which is totally evil and twisted soul. Jack is ion his trail.
Megan sees things in her mind. She hallucinates. No one believes her except for Jack. They resume their old relationship. And Jack is also investigating the case by trying to track down Brooks. He does get a lead. Jack has a silent partner, his dog Keno, who is brave and can go to any length to save his master's life.
This novel has some interesting moments, holds our interest and definitely has a good unexpected ending.
