A Margin of Lust by Greta Boris – Review

A Margin of Lust – My Thoughts

A Margin of Lust by Greta Boris is the first book in the new Seven Deadly Sins suspense series. I was excited to pack this in my suitcase and take it on vacation. I thought it would make the perfect beach read and I was right. This suspenseful mystery is so well-written that you won’t want to put it down. Ms. Boris is an immensely talented writer who seamlessly weaves a plot that pulls you in from the start. The character development was a key part of how much I enjoyed the story. I will be anxiously awaiting more in this series.

Shadow Girl by Gerry Schmitt

My Thoughts

Shadow Girl by Gerry Schmitt is the second Afton Tangler thriller. I have not yet read the first book in this series, but I was easily able to jump in and enjoy the story right away. It starts off with a bang (literally) and the suspense never lets up. I love stories that grip you right from the start and this thriller fits the bill.

Shadow Girl definitely has me hooked on this series, and I can’t wait to go back and read book one, Little Girl Gone. This book is perfect for anyone who enjoys an edge-of-your-seat thriller that keeps you flipping pages late into the night. Ms. Schmitt knocked it out of the …
