I came across this book on a list of Modern Mrs. Darcy books that involve nature survival stories. There was absolutely no part of this book that was a nature survival story. This read more like a cheesy action movie with lots of testosterone-fueled gun fights.The only thing I liked was the setting of various cities in western Colorado since I‘m a sucker for books set in places I‘ve been. Thankfully this was a library download.Just skip this one.

A fantastic debut thriller from Erik Storey that introduces Clyde Barr, ex-con, soldier, mercenary (but don't call him that), who has to save his sister from a ruthless drug dealer. Set in the Colorado mountains, Nothing Short of Dying is a violent, visual, brutal story; I'm looking forward to the sequel, A Promise to Kill.

Picked this up recently on a whim. I've heard good things.

Not bad for a debut. Set up for a sequel.

This book loses out since Underground Railroad just came in from the library, and I wasn't making much progress on it. I'm letting my mother in law read this and she can tell me what happens.

Names hidden to protect the story: "I wore myself out trying to replace the back of [x's] head with his face." All kinds of fun, this one. The CJ Box—whom I already trusted anyway—blurb is spot-on.

And . . . the last days of summer reading are drawing to a close. A stack of comics — Tales from the Darkside, Green Arrow, All-New Wolverine, She Wolf, some old and eBayed Bad Moon Rising, Wonder Woman: Earth One — an Evenson novella (this is the first one he signed, too!), and a couple novels I've been neglecting. Okay, and another novel and another collection on my device. T minus two weeks . . .
