Double Pass (Burnside Series Book 7) by David Chill 

burnside seriesA crime thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat! A fortune has been stolen, but Detective Burnside uncovers far more, including a tangled web of long-held secrets. And a seemingly straightforward case of embezzlement suddenly evolves into brutal murder. From seething rivalries to old resentments to sordid affairs, many suspects have a shady past to hide — and a desperate reason to kill. And through it all, a sordid betrayal from Burnside’s past continues to haunt him, waiting for an opportune moment to materialize.

Double Pass is a taut, Southern California noir thriller, set against a late summer backdrop that is both sizzling hot and eerily quiet. The story leads readers down a trail of theft, murder and deceit, with sharply honed banter and strikingly original characters. It is a tightly written story that is loaded with suspense!

“An intense, superbly crafted reading experience. I guarantee you’ll go on reading well past the ninth hour.” ~ Jim Pingelly, Kingdom Writing Solutions

The 9th Hour cometh! Despite – or because of – knowing so many writers, I still feel the magic when a book comes out that makes the hairs on my arm tingle because I think it’s GOOD.

If you like modern detectives, think Ian Rankin set in New Mexico, you’ll love this. A new detective walks the mean streets of my bookshelves – Temeke. The 13th Sign Publishing.

RJ Blain’s free eBook has thirty reviews on Amazon with an average rating of 4.5 stars.

Beneath a Blood Moon by RJ Blain

rj blainSara’s life turns upside down when someone leaves her a funerary urn, black roses, and death threats on her doorstep. Fearing her work as a stripper and showgirl has put her in the sights of a demented stalker, she turns to her best friend and fellow dancer for help.

Instead of a safe haven, all Sara finds is betrayal. Hunted by creatures she once believed were stories meant to frighten children, she is given a choice: become one of them, or die.

Forced to share her skin with a voracious carnivore and driven by instincts and desires too strong to resist, Sara must adapt to the changes in her life or be destroyed by them. Finding a mate is her wolf’s top priority.

If she doesn’t want to become another prostitute in a city full of them, Sara must learn to control the beast within. With a hungry wolf to feed and an empty bank account, selling herself to the highest bidder may be the only way she has to prevent becoming a monster driven to eat anything—or anyone—unfortunate enough to cross her path.

Meet the author, RJ Blain:

RJ BlainRJ Blain suffers from a Moleskine journal obsession, a pen fixation, and a terrible tendency to pun without warning. When she isn’t playing pretend, she likes to think she’s a cartographer and a sumi-e painter.

In her spare time, she daydreams about being a spy. Should that fail, her contingency plan involves tying her best of enemies to spinning wheels and quoting James Bond villains until she is satisfied.

Reading is as important to RJ as writing. Here are some of her favorite authors in no particular: Mercedes Lackey, Jim Butcher, Patricia Briggs, Madeline L’Engle, Anne McCaffrey, Lois McMaster Bujold, Grace Draven, Julia Kent, and Jenn Stark.

RJ Blain also writes dystopian science fiction (with a touch of odd humor) under the name of Trillian Anderson.

Take a Walk on the Dead Side by Jada Ryker

macey malloryMacey Malloy and Wikket, her cantankerous cat with a nose for crime, plunge headlong into danger when a stalker targets an innocent college student. Terrified for the girl, Macey tries to help her, only to be trapped in the web of deceit with tangled links to missing women.

Dodging stalkers and investigating disappearances doesn’t allow Macey much time for her love life . . . which is a hot mess. With good intentions, her detective boyfriend crosses the thin blue line from good to evil. The charismatic and dangerous man from her past keeps popping up in her present. Her almost-boyfriend employs his fart machine in matters of life, love, and death. A handsome stranger makes her shiver . . . with both attraction and the fear that he may be following a secret, deadly agenda connected with the cold cases of the women who’d vanished over fifteen years ago.

As if she doesn’t have enough on her plate, Macey Malloy contends with Stan Glee. The popular YouTube host is determined to cash in on her notoriety. Glee is convinced he’s marvelous, while she’s certain that he has issues.

Even with her grumpy cat’s help, will Macey Malloy solve the mysteries before it’s too late?
