Sudden Death - Allison Brennan


Allison Brennan - Sudden Death (FBI #1)

Heroic Justice

When a homeless veteran is found dead in a squalid Sacramento alley, FBI special agent Megan Elliott vows to find the murdered hero’s killer. Her investigation gets complicated fast, for the victim, a former Delta Force soldier, is just one link in a nationwide spree of torture and murder.

Straight off a job rescuing medical missionaries, soldier-for-hire Jack Kincaid returns to his home base in the Texas border town of Hidalgo only to receive the news that one of his closest colleagues–also ex-military–has been brutally murdered. Faced with an inept local police force, Jack takes matters into his own hands.

Now, as part of a national task force to stop the sadistic killings, by-the-book Megan and burn-the-book Jack form a tense alliance, sparked with conflict and temptation. But they struggle against more than passion, for a vicious pair of killers has only just begun a rampage of evil . . . and the primary target is much closer than Megan suspects.

Amie Louellen - Ten Reasons Not to Date a Cop

Love turns up in all the wrong places…at just the right time.

Growing up a police chief’s daughter, Kaylee Stephens saw firsthand how arrogant cop attitudes affect a marriage. Not for her, no sir. But when a priceless, pre-Columbian statue comes up missing, the day-school teacher finds herself in the middle of a police investigation. And face-to-face with sexy Detective Lucas Blackfox, her brothers’ old high school chum.

She had nothing to do with the crime, despite the fact that she—up until very recently—was engaged to the number one suspect. Once that’s cleared up, she plans to return to her peaceful, cop-less life.

Luc can’t seem to keep Kaylee out of his thoughts, and it’s not just because every time he and his partner turn over a new stone in the case, Kaylee shows up. She’s grown from the pig-tailed tagalong he once knew to a woman he’d like to know better.

His quest to convince her he’s not just a typical cop is right on track toward making her a permanent fixture in his arms...until the missing statue’s legendary curse drops an emotional bomb that could destroy everything.

Product Warnings

Playing Dead - Allison Brennan


Allison Brennan - Playing Dead (Prison Break #3)

DEAD MAN RUNNING

Sentenced to death for crimes he didn’t commit, ex-cop Tom O’Brien is now a hunted fugitive. After fifteen years in prison, he’s determined to prove his innocence–but first he must convince his daughter, whose testimony helped put him behind bars, that he has damning evidence of a plot to frame him.

Claire is no longer the naïve teenager who arrived home to find her mother and her mother’s lover shot dead and her father holding the murder weapon. She’s a successful fraud investigator who assumes everyone lies. Though Claire is convinced of her father’s guilt, curiosity propels her to look into the disappearance of a law student who claimed to have proof of Tom’s innocence. But seeking answers only leads to more questions, reinforcing Claire’s belief that there’s no one left to trust.

Obsessed with the O’Brien case, FBI agent Mitch Bianchi befriends Claire under false pretenses, certain that Tom is not only innocent but in grave danger–and not just from the cops. As the three race toward the truth, a murderous conspiracy tightens its noose–and Claire becomes the target of an ice-cold psychopath who will kill to protect his secrets.

Stalked - Allison Brennan


Allison Brennan - Stalked (Lucy Kincaid #5)

Lucy Kincaid returns—as a killer’s obsession. 
IN THE GAME OF CRIME

A new trainee at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Lucy Kincaid has already seen more than her share of murder and mayhem. Still reeling from the sex-crime case that sealed her reputation, she’s found a true friend and mentor in Agent Tony Presidio. No matter what goes down at the Bureau, Tony’s got her back—until he’s called to New York to help investigate the murder of a reporter with ties to Lucy.

NEVER PLAY THE VICTIM

But the reporter may not be the first victim of a patient killer with a penchant for revenge, and she’s definitely not the last. Connections between closed cases, a missing person, and Tony himself lead Lucy to fear for those she cares for most. When the FBI is rocked by the death of one of their own, Lucy seeks the help of her boyfriend, private investigator Sean Rogan, to help put together the puzzle—and puts her career in jeopardy. But the harder she pushes for answers, the clearer the truth becomes: There’s a killer inside Quantico. Watching her every move. Waiting to kill again…

Checkmate - R.L. Mathewson


R.L. Mathewson - Checkmate (A Neighbor from Hell #3)

There’s nothing worse than living next door to your childhood nemesis, except maybe being forced to share your dream project with him, being blackmailed into going along with something that was just wrong on so many levels, and having your hot cocoa stolen by the person that drove you to drink it in the first place.

As long as she has plenty of hot cocoa, a pair of pliers on hand and is able to resist Connor O’Neil’s bad boy charm then Rory James should be able to make it through this project with her sanity intact. If not…..

She’d probably face a few more nights in jail, have a few more restraining orders slapped against her and lose her heart to the man that ruined her life.

Emmy Laybourne - Monument 14 #1


Tu madre grita que vas a perder el autobús. Lo puede ver venir por la calle. No paras, la abrazas y le dices que la amas. No le agrecedes por ser una buena madre, amable y paciente. Por supuesto que no—te lanzas por las escaleras y corres hasta la esquina.

Sólo que, si es la última vez que vas a ver a tu madre, empiezas a desear haberte detenido y hecho esas cosas. Tal vez incluso perderte el autobús.

Pero el autobús se disparaba por nuestra calle, así que corrí.


Catorce niños. Un supermercado. Un millón de cosas que salen mal.


Una enorme tienda no es el peor lugar para ser abandonado. Hay agua y comida, ropa de cama y libros. Pero ¿Y si no es seguro salir? Emmy Laybourne nos ha cautivado desde el primer momento con su debut completamente ágil y fresco. Seis chicos de secundaria (algunos populares, otros no), dos estudiantes de octavo grado (y uno es un genio tecnológico), y seis niños pequeños son atrapados juntos en la cadena de un supermercado. Juntos construyen un refugio para ellos en el interior, mientras que fuera, una serie de desastres va en aumento, comenzando con una monstruosa tormenta de granizo que termina con un derrame de armas químicas.

Parece que es el fin del mundo como ellos lo conocen.

Emmy Laybourne - Monument 14 (Monument 14 #1)

Your mother hollers that you’re going to miss the bus. She can see it coming down the street. You don’t stop and hug her and tell her you love her. You don’t thank her for being a good, kind, patient mother. Of course not—you launch yourself down the stairs and make a run for the corner.

Only, if it’s the last time you’ll ever see your mother, you sort of start to wish you’d stopped and did those things. Maybe even missed the bus.

But the bus was barreling down our street, so I ran.

Fourteen kids. One superstore. A million things that go wrong.

While outside, a series of escalating disasters, beginning with a monster hailstorm and ending with a chemical weapons spill, seems to be tearing the world—as they know it—apart.

Estar conectada a Daemon Black apesta…

Daemon está decido a demostrar que lo que siente por mí es más que un producto de nuestra conexión extraña. Lo he rechazado a pesar de que está más caliente que frío en estos días. Pero tenemos problemas más grandes.

Algo peor que los Arum ha llegado al pueblo.

El Departamento de Defensa está aquí. Si alguna vez se enteran sobre lo qué Daemon puede hacer y que estamos vinculados, estoy muerta. Al igual que él. Y está este chico
nuevo en la escuela con un secreto propio. Él sabe lo que está pasando conmigo y puede ayudar, pero para eso, le tengo que mentir a Daemon y alejarme de él. Como si eso fuera posible. A pesar de todo sentido común, me estoy enamorando de él. Duro.

Pero entonces todo cambia…

He visto a alguien que no debería estar vivo. Y tengo que decirle a Daemon, incluso cuando sé que nunca parará de buscar hasta llegar a la verdad. ¿Qué sucedió con su hermano? ¿Quién lo traicionó? ¿Y qué quiere la DOD de ellos—de mí?

Nadie es quién parece. Y no todos sobrevivirán las mentiras...

Empezar de nuevo apesta.

Cuando nos mudamos a West Virginia justo antes del último curso, ya me había resignado al acento raro, a tener mala conexión a Internet y a aburrirme como una ostra… hasta que vi al sexy de mi vecino, tan alto y con unos ojos verdes impresionantes. Las cosas parecen ir mejorando.

Y entonces él abrió la boca.

Daemon es insufrible. Arrogante, desquiciante. No nos llevamos nada bien. Nada, nada bien. Pero cuando un desconocido me atacó y Daemon congeló el tiempo, literalmente, con solo mover la mano… bueno, sucedió algo… inesperado.

El alienígena sexy que vive al lado me marcó.

Sí, han oído bien. Alienígena. Resulta que Daemon y su hermana tienen una galaxia entera de enemigos que quieren robar sus habilidades, y el contacto de Daemon ha hecho que parezca uno de esos carteles iluminados de las Vegas. El único modo de  salir con vida de todo esto es mantenerme pegada a Daemon hasta que mi «luz» extraterrestre se apague.

Eso si antes no mato a Daemon, claro.
