The Jefferson Key by Steve Berry

This was the latest in the Cotton Malone books, it was set in the US and featured pirates lol it was great fun. I finished it in one day. One of the things I like about this author is he does a lot of research and includes it in his books. In fact, in the afterword he talks about what in the book was based on fact and what was his own creation, I like that. I like the Cotton Malone books and Steve Berry in general. He tends towards the more believable end of the action adventure genre.

Rating: 4 stars

Recommendations: Any of Steve Berry's books are great. I especially liked The Third Secret.

The Ark by Boyd Morrison

I liked this book a lot. It was fun, there was a touch of romance and lots and lots of action. I think on the believability scale... the over all plot was on the less believable side. But the actual action sequences I think were more towards realism. (I really need to come up with a believability scale, ideas? 1-10 just seems boring lol) Apparently this book was originally only released digitally, if so then kudos to the author! I am looking forward to reading more of this guys stuff!

Rating: 4 stars

Recommendations: Mr. Morrison has another book Rouge Wave out (and the library has, yay!) and a couple new ones coming out in July and November.
