I Am the Weapon by Allen Zadoff
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Here is another book outside the realm of what I would typically read that I really loved. Once I started it, I could not put it down. And the short chapters made me feel like I flew through this book.

Zach is a 16 year old soldier for The Program. He goes through his life ever being the new kid at school, finding his target and eliminating it. All is well until he’s sent to New York with the target being the Mayor. The time frame for the mission is only 5 days which is out of the normal.

He meets the Mayors daughter in school as a way to get close to the Mayor and, after having two opportunities to finish his assignment, the target is changed from the Mayor to his daughter.

This is a quick, on the edge of your seat read. I can’t wait to read the next one! 🙂

Whack Job by Kendel Lynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love books like this. Whack Job was a fun mystery set in South Carolina. Yes, one more book driving my desire to visit the Charleston area.

Elliott Lisbon works for a non-profit, The Ballantyne Home, but is a wanna be PI. She is on her way to earning her PI license but local law enforcement, the handsome Lt. Ransom, thinks she’s stepping on his toes. Apparently, there is a relationship in their past that may not be finished.

This is what I would call a madcap mystery. Some of the things Elliott gets into while trying to find a missing Faberge egg for a client are truly hilarious.

This would be a great beach read. It is the second in a series but I didn’t feel I was missing anything by not having read the first book. I highly recommend Whack Job and I do plan to read the first book! 🙂

Magnificent Vibration: A Novel by Rick Springfield
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was clever and you know how I feel about clever: I love it!

I originally wanted to read this book because Rick Springfield wrote it. I didn’t know what to expect and I was more than pleased. The story is about Horatio a.k.a. Bob, who finds God’s phone number in a book he has stolen. He then meets Alice and Lexingon Vargas who have both purchased a copy of the same book. They go on an adventure.

The story is clever, like I said and I liked the way it went back and forth between the past and present and Scotland and Los Angeles. I had no idea how those two story lines were going to come together.

Great book, I give it two thumbs up! 🙂
