MARTIAL LAW by BOBBY AKART

The moment this book hit my kindle, I immediately sensed an explosive story unfolding. MARTIAL LAW is by far the best in the series. With each book in the series,  the action is more intense , the survival is more urgent and the characters are more prepared. The beginning starts off with a bang and never lets up. What happens when the power goes out everywhere? Are you prepared? The Loyal Nine have been prepared for this and the team is closing  the gap in their tight knit group. All around them is panic and mayhem. The team is strong and with a sense of calmness, they put their plan of survival into place. This third installment in this  series has everything you would expect from a fast  paced thriller.   Bobby  Akart has become a best selling author to be reckoned  with. He pulls no punches, is straight forward and delivers a story that gave me shivers as I envisioned  myself in the midst of the crowd fighting for supplies. I love the author's knowledge of guns, technology and law . He  is the  master of history and is very detailed in that area.  It  shows in the intelligent writing throughout the book. I loved the references to easily identifiable things like CVS where people were fighting to get their medication. It really hits home and makes readers hopefully start to think about the future . The book is authentic and will have you thinking about your preparedness if this would happen in your town or state. I'm thrilled that MARTIAL LAW is now available because it is a must read for everyone. Don't miss your chance to read a story that grabs your attention and makes you think.  Are you ready? Can you defend yourself ? Are you willing to do whatever it takes to survive?

THE SHOCK OF NIGHT by PATRICK W. CARR

I don't normally read fantasy books, but I am glad I was able to read this one.  Is is set in a place that is surrounded by "The Darkwater." Just seeing that name gave me shivers. It is definitely an attention getter and to find out that it consists of a mysterious evil source had me hooked on the book.

Willet Dura is the chief detective who is loyal and very caring. He is a very likeable person and easily befriends those who are widows, children that have become orphans and yes even  prostitutes. As Willet receives a "gift" that allows him to read minds and experience their feelings, his life is turned upside down. I don't think I would want to know what other people were thinking, do you?


This book is filled with mystery, adventure , unsavory characters , murder , kidnapping and even a sword fight. Willet will have his hands full trying to stay one step ahead of those who want his "gift." Can he continue to be loyal or will something tempt him to falter? The book is well written and holds your attention as you travel to a time where it becomes hard to trust anyone in a kingdom where staying alive could mean fighting and outwitting the enemy. The story is fast paced and has a great cast of characters. Get ready for a great book that is filled with Knights, lords and people who will fight for what is right and just.

What happens when you are admitted to the hospital as a patient, and the physician assigned to be your doctor has never seen you before and knows absolutely nothing about you? 

Welcome to Medicine in the 21st century, where the results of having a Hospitalist instead of your own doctor can be disastrous. 

Specialist Dr. Aaron Bernstein enters the world of the Hospitalist firsthand when he confronts a schizophrenic patient who -- literally -- is a ticking time-bomb.

This is definitely a book that will open your eyes to the health care system. It is a riveting account of doctors who treat patients during their hospital stay. As you read the book, you find that not all doctors want to treat their patients when they have to be hospitalized. The definition of Hospitalist is, "a doctor who takes care of patients whose doctors don't want to take care of them when they get sick and have to be hospitalized." What a concept. You see your doctor for routine checkups, then one day you are sent to the hospital . What is waiting for you there, is a fill in doctor. It reminds me of someone being called in off the bench from a sporting event. That person is now substituting for the star "doctor."

The book was very explosive and detailed to perfection. I could not put it down. The author does a great job in describing the workings in the hospital and the many  people who work there. The different cases the doctors work on  are fascinating and keep the reader interested as we get to explore the inside workings of a hospital. It is a roller coaster ride of patients with different ailments and doctors who are overworked at times. Some of the doctors  were  unconcerned for their patient's well being. It seems they were more focused on the money that they could make. I liked how the story showed the dynamics of a hospital much like one we have each visited at one time. The book moves at a rapid pace and gives readers various patients which are realistic. I found myself being transformed to an episode of ER as the author gives us intrigue, danger and a cast of characters that keep you on the edge of your seat. I was very impressed with the writing and enjoyed reading a great book about the inside of a hospital as seen through the eyes of doctors, patients and family members.
