The Order of St. Michael: A Bud Hutchins Thriller (Book #1) by J. B. Michaels

"The Order of St. Michael," by JB Michaels is a fun and quirky read. This action adventure for young adults has it all and basically stands in a category and genre of its own. There is adventure galore, including teleportation, crazy/evil scientists, werewolves, zombies, androids, kidnapping, poisoning and ancient blood-sacrificing cults. Bud and Maeve make a wonderful team and their banter as they traverse the globe, make for some fun and witty reading. I especially liked the tie-in to The show more Wolfman, with Llanwelly and Talbot Castle featuring in the plot.

This is a thrill ride from beginning to end, with nary a letup in between. From the opening pages to the final sentence, you're treated to a roller coaster ride of fun and frights. Don't miss this one. show less

Murder on the Geneva Express: A Mac and Millie Mystery (Mac and Millie Mysteries Book 6) by J. B. Michaels

I really enjoyed this wonderful paranormal cozy mystery. I loved Mac and Millie. I loved the magic in this story. I enjoyed the action and the laughs in the story. I hope to read more stories featuring Mac and Millie. I received a copy of this book from the publisher for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.
