Vile City by Jennifer Lee Thomson - Book Review

Book Description:

DI Duncan Waddell has big problems. He’s borderline diabetic. The paperwork is piling up faster than the underwear at a porn shoot.
Now his best pal DC Stevie Campbell, who’s in a coma after being attacked by a suspect, has started to talk to him. Trouble is, only Waddell can hear him.
The last thing he needs is the country’s biggest case to land on his lap.
Three women have gone missing in the city he used to love, but is fast coming to despise, victims of the GLASGOW GRABBER, as their assailant has been dubbed by local hack and all round thorn in Waddell’s backside, Catriona Hastie.
Shelley Craig is the latest victim, snatched as she and her boyfriend took a shortcut through Glasgow city centre.
And she’ll do anything to make it home.

Author Bio:

I'm owned by a rescue dog, and have been scribbling away all my life. 

I also write as Jennifer Thomson and my new novel, Vile City (Detective in a Coma book 1), will be published by Caffeine Nights in 2017 under my full name Jennifer Lee Thomson to fulfill a promise to my dying dad who passed away after a long battle with cancer. 

When I'm not writing fiction, I writes self-help books (as Jennifer Thomson) on bullying, dog care, vegetarianism and dating. In my spare time inspired by TV shows and movies like The Walking Dead, Z Nation and Dawn of the Dead, I plan how to survive a zombie apocalypse. My obsession to zombies led me to write a zombie novel. 

Book Review by Carmen:

This book has a dark theme and atmosphere. I felt that things were given away too soon in the novel, even though it had a slow start; things could have been more gradually revealed and also a little bit later in the book as well. Overall, it was an enjoyable book that I gave a rating of 4 stars and got a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Libido Reboot: A Widow's Sexual Journey by L. A. Maria ~ Audiobook Review

Book Description: 

Libido Reboot: A Widow's Sexual Journey is a true story about the sexual reawakening of a woman after several years of celibacy following the death of her husband. It is an honest account of her search for sexual gratification gained through sex toys, escort services, and online hookup and dating sites. Her experience led her to believe that others, in particular, baby boomers, could learn and be inspired by her journey. This timely book provides excellent relationship advice designed to help both men and women ultimately discover how good sex and intimacy is for their health and well-being.

Purchase a copy on Audible. 

Review: 

This is not an erotica but more a memoir of a lady in her 50's that would like to share her experiences for others to learn from. It could be for both men and women but not for the young as the author tells us in the beginning of the book. I am only 35 and my husband is 47, I found that I enjoyed hearing about how the author explored her sexual needs after her libido came rushing back about five years after her husband of 40+ yrs passed away. The author had only been with one man in her life and realized how "vanilla" their love life was. She had many different experiences that she shares with her readers from getting a play toy to hiring an escort to fulfill her needs. 

It's a quick audiobook which was great for my drive to and from work one night. Something different to listen to as I have been really only reading thrillers/crime novels and health audiobooks and podcasts. 

I give this book a 4 out of 5. The narrator also did a great job on keeping my interest without being mono-toned or slow.

MY REVIEW: Is coming soon! Stay tuned for it as I am in love with this book! 

Sienna Blake is a pen name for a USA Today Bestselling Author. She loves all things that make her heart race — rollercoasters, thrillers and rowdy unrestrained sex. She likes to explore the darker side of human nature in her writing.

If she told you who she really was, she’d have to kill you. Because of her passion for crime and forensics, she’d totally get away with your murder.
