Cut too Deep by Marissa Farrar

Release Date : 26th March 2015

Description : Guys like Ryker Russo don't notice girls like Jenna Armstrong.

Constantly on the move, Jenna doesn't want to settle down anywhere. As long as her latest motel room has a television, Wi-Fi

Time is running out and she's terrified if she stays in one place, her past will catch up to her.

, and a vending machine, she will make do. It isn't just Jenna's curves that make her self conscious. Beneath her clothes she hides a secret, one that she is running from.

My Thoughts : First of all I'd like to say thanks to Tracy from TBConFB for sending me a copy of this book for review.
This is the first book I've read by Marissa Farrar and I don't think I've ever read a Romantic Thriller before.

Jenna has had a tough year after a terrible car accident which has left her scarred and scared and un-able to stay in the same place for any amount of time until her car breaks down and there's nothing else for it but to stay in the small town of Arlington until it is fixed.

I liked the fact that this book had romance which makes you feel quite gooey and the thriller side keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Jenna is a character a lot of women will be able to connect with straight away. She's an average overweight, self conscious lady who likes her food. She's very hard on herself but this was a refreshing change from the usual heroines in books who are stick thin and beautiful usually.
There's not a great deal of characters to get to know through the book which was nice. It gives you the chance to get know each one well and they are believable characters too.
I liked the chemistry between Jenna and Ryker, the hunky tattooed and pierced mechanic. I was sitting reading and willing things to happen but Jenna can't understand why a guy like Ryker would like her and I just wanted to reach in, grab Jenna and give her a good shake.
The thriller side of the book keeps you guessing and Garrett, Jenna's horrible ex is a nasty man who made me shiver but a perfect villain.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it's a feel good book with drama and thriller thrown in.
I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes romantic thrillers with believable characters and a hunky mechanic but if like me you've never read a romantic thriller before I say give this one a try, you won't be disappointed.

I'm giving this 4 out of 5 stars

Everlast A Brainrush Thriller (The Everlast Duology Book 1) by Richard Bard

Description: A gifted boy forced to grow up too fast... A father who will do anything to protect him... A madman bent on destroying them both.

In Amsterdam, a visionary scientist is laying the groundwork for a cybernetic life-extension project that will transfer individual consciousness to a personalized avatar. Halfway around the world, his brilliant grandson is secretly planning to use the same technology to infiltrate the world's most secure networks. But the scientific advances necessary to perfect the brain-to-computer interface are slow in coming, too slow for the aging founder of the Everlast foundation--who may die before realizing his dream of immortality--and too slow for his ruthless grandson, who will stop at nothing to attain the recognition that is his birthright.

Caught in the middle are Jake Bronson and his seven-year-old son, Alex, whose combined mental gifts might provide the key to leapfrogging the impasse.

Everlast (Book One): When Jake's family and closest friends are simultaneously abducted in a globally coordinated kidnapping scheme, he races across two continents in his search for them, unaware his hostage son and teenage siblings have crash-landed in the jungles of South China, where they must find every ounce of their courage and wits to survive the wilds and escape the ruthless drug lord who is hot on their heels. Can a seven-year-old boy learn to kill to save his family?

 

My Thoughts : First off I'd like to say thank you to The Book Club on Facebook who sent me this book for review.

 

I went into this book completely blind as I'd never heard of Richard Bard the author or the Brainrush books, so I really didn't know what to expect at all. And to be quite honest if I'd read the description before hand I don't think this would have been a book I would have bought as I'm not really into scientific stories so I'm glad I was given the chance.

From the beginning this story had me hooked, it was a page turner and once I got peace and quiet I whizzed through it as I couldn't put it down.
Although this is a great read I presume there are books before this one that tell the story of Jake and his family and how they come to be in the situation they are in and I felt like I was missing something and playing catch up a lot of the time.
This is no fault of the authors though and this is a well written story and a fast paced thriller. The characters are interesting and the description through out the book takes you right into the action. I was punching the pillow at the end of the book as it finishes on a cliff-hanger  so was very pleased to see the second book Ephemeral was available and I can't wait to get stuck in and continue the story.

 

I have given this book 4 stars
