A couple free Kindle books

I noticed that a couple of my favorite books were free for Kindle download, so I wanted to share.

The Pawn by Steven James [5 stars]
Saying I love this series would probably be an understatement. This is the first book in the Patrick Bowers Files.

The Pawn is about an FBI agent Patrick Bowers who is an environmental criminologist who tracks down violent offenders. Bowers, who is still trying to deal with his wife's recent death as well as the resulting estrangement from his step-daughter, is called in to Asheville, NC, where young women's corpses are turning up. The killer's MO is to leave a chess piece and tie a yellow ribbon in his victim’s hair.
Bower's must piece together each of the murders as his techniques are put to the test.

This is not a good series to read if you are frightened easily, and don't like 'creepier' stuff. If you can handle true crime, thrillers and the likes, you will love this.

Do NOT read this series out of order!

I love how the author, Steven James, is able to put together such an intricate plot and keep you interested as well as guessing what's going to happen next.

The Stones Cry Out by Sibella Giorello [3.5]
This is the first book in the Raleigh Harmon Series. Raleigh Harmon is an FBI agent in Virginia. Two men plummet from a roof to the sidewalk below. A crowd is gathered nearby, but no one saw anything. Or are they not talking?
The victims are a white police officer and a young black man with a troubled past.

Raleigh Harmon is called in to solve the case and the Bureau wants the case solved, with or without the truth. Raleigh must rely on her training as a forensic geologist to solve the case.

I read the second book in this series first, not realizing this was the first book. I didn't like this book too much, but I love the ones after it. Maybe because in the second book Raleigh is back to her hometown in Seattle, which is where i'm from ;) but I thought that story was better. (The Rivers Run Dry)
Anyways, as a free download, it's a good read.



And for $0.89 you can download this book:

Forsaken by James David Jordan [4.5 stars]

When Simon Mason, the world’s best-known televangelist, begins receiving threats from Muslim terrorists, he hires former Secret Service agent Taylor Pasbury, for protection.
Taylor is excited to receive the high-profile assignment, but Simon Mason knows more about her than she thinks. And, when terrorists strike, making unspeakable demands of the pastor, Taylor draws on all of her training to save Simon and his daughter.


Great read, I only wish the author had more than just two books in this series. Definitely worth the $0.89!
