Nate and his friends are in the fight of their life. The Grimms are back from exile, and Nate is at the top of their kill list. When is dying not dying? Nate is about to find out again, but this time it's not him doing the dying. Silvers gets more introspective with each book. Why do so many good authors eventually fall prey to logorrhea? Highly recommended.

Before Nate Temple was a bookseller he was a playboy with a love of books. The older and more arcane the better. Then Nate went to an auction and bid on what was purported to be the original Grimm's Fairy Tales. Turns out someone wanted that book bad enough to kill for it. More than once. Nate has to get this book before the power it holds falls into the wrong hands. Unfortunately, that already happened, so Nate's job is that much harder. Very highly recommended.

Nate Temple appears to be the stereotypical rich playboy. When Nate's parents are murdered he's obsessed with finding the killer. That will probably be hard on the killer, since Nate is a wizard. A strong one. Meanwhile law enforcement is looking at Nate, since he inherited about 8 billion with a 'B' dollars. Throw in some werewolves, dragons, and a few other creatures from legend, and you have a great supernatural adventure. Very highly recommended.

Then a mysterious man in a blue coat goes slipping through trees and Loren decides to follow him. The man provides Loren a means to flee her life.

Pines - Blake Crouch

Pines is the first novel in the Wayward Pines Trilogy. Three years later and there's a TV series. Books are always better. This book is available through kindleunlimited.

Ethan Burke woke up in soft green grass, next to a flowing river. That was the good part. Ethan was seriously injured and couldn't remember much. By the time this installment of this story is over, Ethan will remember, and be horrified. Wayward Pines has that effect on people. At least if they survive. No spoilers here. This is a story with mysteries and twists and scary galore. Very highly recommended.

Then Virgil's cell rings. Virgil always seems to get the "interesting" cases. This time two endangered Amur tigers were catnapped from the Minnesota zoo. The priority is to find them before somebody kills them and grinds them up for Asian medicine. Virgil has to abandon the swimming hole to hunt for tigers.

The tigers aren't the only things in danger though. Bodies start to pile up among the tiger thieves, and then Sparkle's snooping lands Frankie in the hospital. It's a fast paced adventure with some interesting twists. Very highly recommended. I just with Sandford wrote faster!

Tara is beginning to fall for Gahan, but before they can pursue their love, they have to escape or be rescued. That could take a long time. Highly recommended.
