![]() ![]() He's bumbling as a super cop, setting up his own home as a target but posting no lookouts, losing his gun to his prey and stumbling into a tree when a pretty girl passes. Jade is a Dirty Harry/Inspector Clouseau type, and while handsome and stout, he's a dull and dedicated misanthrope whose quite frequent cluelessness can be frustrating: a Phi Beta Kappa, he fails to recognize some of the most familiar lines of Shakespeare. This arrangement is imposed by Wotan, the one-eyed, mysterious, fearless leader of the FBI. On Atlasia's trail is ex-FBI agent Jade Marlow (a man, despite his feminine moniker), who is teamed with the incredibly beautiful Agent Travers, who sports a blonde ponytail but is too hardboiled to have a given name. A purported genius, Atlasia delivers rhetorical gibberish in a highbrow diction aiming to mimic Hannibal Lecter's creepy intelligence but instead just sounding goofy. The worst of the worst, Allendar Atlasia (the weight of the novel is on his shoulders), executes a horrendous escape and creates a reign of terror in posh Bay Area neighborhoods. The Tower is a maximum-security prison erected in San Francisco Bay to hold the nation's worst criminals. ![]() ![]() ![]() The first several chapters of this psychological thriller offer a gripping rogue's gallery of psycho-killers and sociopathic behavior in a hellish setting from which no man escapes alive. ![]()

Omegas have few rights other than being baby-makers, and alphas have ALL the rights. In this world, there are alphas, betas, and omegas - and they are all rigidly put and then kept in their places through living quarters, available jobs, and society. This is a non-shifter, mpreg, ABO'verse type of story, the first for this author (although, not the first mpreg by any means, if you haven't already - her Bear Mountain series and the spin-offs are a MUST read) and I love the framework established and world building she has created here. It's beautiful, heartbreaking, emotional, full of hope and love, and I just LOVED it. ![]() ![]() ![]() Collaboration with her search dog partner made the surprising difference to her own healing.

Everything in it is soft, warm, and cuddly, including the animals, the bed, the nest, even the socks. By morning, Hoot has reunited the socks with their mates and sleeps comfortably in his new nest. After an owl's lunch (midnight snack to the others), all return to their beds. The other animals offer to replace it with an equally warm, snugly cap and help him get it to the top of the wardrobe. He wakes the others, and they all try to find the source of the mysterious "hoot." It turns out to be an owl whose nest, made from the missing socks, has fallen to the bedroom floor. All of the stuffed animals are asleep except Little Bear, who is frightened by a strange noise.

Christian Allister has always followed the life plan he’d envisioned in his youth, beneath the harsh lights of a frigid, damp cell. In the New York underworld, others know him as a hustler, a killer, his nature as cold as the heart of ice in his chest. Most see a paragon of morality a special agent upholding the law.
