Meet BTB Reviewer Teresa Brock

Background: Teresa Brock, married to Andrew Brock. Mother of 4 (3 girls and and 1 boy) ages 25-19, grandmother of 3 boys. Currently learning how to wade through the empty nest life after raising a house full of athletes. I own and operate my own business that has allowed me to be involved in my kids lives, church and community. I love anything outdoors including hiking, kayaking and boating. Reading is my go to activity. My favorite genres include thriller, mystery, horror, true crime and historical non-fiction.

Go-To Author: For thrillers, Lucinda Berry is a go to for me. I would also put her with the likes of Lisa Gardner, Rachel Hawkins and I adore Gregg Hurwitz. I count on authors who give me all of the tension without giving anything away and making me feel like I am part of their story. I love a well researched book that validates the words I am reading as fact.

Author People Should Discover: Jenny Kiefer. She just published This Wretched Valley. A horror/thriller book that takes place in Kentucky. She is also the owner of Butcher Cabin Books. If this book gets picked up for a horror movie I will not be surprised.

Book You Would Recommend From 2023: I Kill Killers by ST Ashman (yes I know volume 2 is coming out in 2024 but I had to pick something else t- tee hee). This book just grabbed me from the beginning. I love a BA woman. She has all the money and talent and everything needed, but a thirst like no other for justice (I may be jealous).

Most-Anticipated Book Of 2024: The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown. Why? Time travel plus good versus evil plus super powers mixed with books = count me in while I do the pee peep happy dance waiting on this one.

Favorite Local/Indie Bookstore: Butcher Cabin Books in Louisville, Kentucky and A Likely Story in Midway, Kentucky. Both of these are in The Bluegrass State, locally owned and work with local authors and other businesses to support reading.

Favorite Charities: We support The Wounded Warrior Project, the Knox-Whitley Humane Association and FRYSC Knox County Public Schools

Nemesis By Gregg Hurwitz

Evan Smoak aka Orphan X aka The Nowhere man is back in Nemesis. This installment picks right back up where Lone Wolf ended and Evan finds out that his armorer, Tommy Stojak, has (in Evan’s mind) betrayed him.  Evan built his life and career around the ten commandments instilled in him through Jack Johns.  It is safe to say, that no one expected Evan to go rogue, leave the orphan program and try to find a way to do the right thing.  Sometimes the commandments don’t always work and may need to be evaluated or added to. (yes… there is an 11th amendment.  No, I am not telling you)

Evan’s character has grown and changed with every single book.  Being an assassin with emotions would be a delicate balance. Evan’s training keeps him in check and centered because ‘the price for violating a Commandment was chaos’.   While Evan is deciding how to deal with Tommy, he runs into another problem.  A family of innocent people is run over and an 8-year-old boy is murdered.  Evan is a ‘hunter of humans.  The monster sent to kill monsters.’

True to Gregg Hurwitz’s style, this book is full of hand-to-hand combat scenes, shootouts and intense fighting that is perfectly written you can see the splinter in the wood when the door flies off the handle!  Evan Smoak is evolving.  He is changing.  He hurts.  The fact that I finished this book two days ago and I still have a hard time understanding that The Nowhere Man can have feelings should make you reflect on the journey this series takes you.

Yes, this is fiction.  I understand that, but Nemesis covers current, real-world issues that American’s deal with on a daily basis.  Violence, racism, bigotry, corrupt politicians and more are all found on these pages.  Read it. Talk about it.  Change some things.  Cheer on Orphan X!

The Good Bride By Jen Marie Wiggins

The Bancroft’s hail from the small gulf coast fishing town of Blue Compass.  A year ago it was devastated by Hurricane Charlie. Small business, family homes – you name it – it was gone.  When Ruth Bancroft announces that her wedding will be at their beach house in Blue Compass, it is a social media dream, a chance to showcase the town and get publicity … or is it?    

 

This slow-burn, family drama, thriller told through multiple POV’s layers tension, drama and buried secrets perfectly.  Character development is spot on.  I especially loved having a likeable and empathic bride.  Ruth is emotional and she truly wants to do what is best and this was an enjoyable change for this genre.  Don’t worry though, everyone isn’t perfect.  Several unexpected twists throughout the book, beginning with the gunshots at the rehearsal dinner, are placed perfectly in order to keep the reader guessing all the way to the end.

Nobody's Hero By M.W. Craven

Ben Koenig is back!!!  Ben has had damage to his brain takes away his ability to feel or understand fear, even down to his adversaries facial expressions.  This leads to years of training, being sought after for his skills and eventually being pursued. (you are going to want to read the first book)  Book 2 picks up because Koenig has a very large bounty on his head and hiding didn’t work out as he planned.  What starts as a visit to a coffee shop for Ben to send his monthly email, eventually turns into a global pursuit uncovering secrets and leaving multiple dead bodies in its wake. 

The Acacia Avenue Protocol, a cryptic directive, has resurfaced and Ben is needed because everyone who can stop it dead.  What makes it better is that one of the names on this list, was killed by Ben Koenig himself.  Ben loves to drop his random spiel of information and how he got to his conclusion.  He irritates those around him, especially his handler Jen Draper, but for me, it’s perfect.  This book has so much going on you just can’t stop.  A father daughter pair of contract killers, a woman presumed dead for decades, corrupt cops, a lot of action and a twist at the end that you will NOT see coming.  It’s perfect.  I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Out In The Cold By Steve Urszenyi

Alex Martel is a beautiful, self-confident, smart, former medic, who has worked with Interpol, CIA and FBI.  She has connections all over the world with important people, but she is stubborn and to quote Celeste “she is the most infuriating Interpol agent’ hired.  Alex prefers to operate alone and is currently a contract employee.  “More precisely a global response staff special agent and subject matter expert” but is loyal to a fault and her pull to Caleb and to her team is always there.  Caleb, her counterpart and the man with a giant crush on Alex does what he does in the name of his fellow soldiers, special operators and country.  He is more inclined to operate within the boundaries than Alex and they balance each other out. 

Out in the Cold is very closely related to current events in the world including Russia invading Ukraine, and power plays by governing officials.  The question remains – is starting another world war worth it to show how strong the United States is or is it just about power, money and greed.  There is a lot of action, which continually propels this book forward.  Immersive locations are the background for the story - anywhere from Langley to the Baltic Sea.  Alex is a strong, kick ass heroine whose skills are continually put to the test as she navigates deadly situations and attempts to unravel traitors and conspiracies at the highest level of power.   I cannot wait to see what happens next!

Spoiler – my favorite part of the entire book is when Caleb punches Street in the throat.  Best.  Scene.  Ever!

Burn This Night By Alex Kenna

If you haven’t read What Meets the Eye, I strongly recommend it.  While this could be read as a standalone, it is so much better to watch Kate grow as a character as her story progresses.  Burn This Night is told in alternating timelines through various first-person narratives in each chapter which gives the reader a 360-degree view of all the characters.

Kate Myles, former LAPD Detective, turned PI, lost her job and her family after she was involved in an on-duty car accident with a drunk driver.  She became addicted to pain medication and her life took an, all to real, downward spiral.  Kate has been called to investigate an incident in Idlewood, CA where a young lady burned in her cabin.  The police arrested her brother, but the family is certain that the brother was not the culprit.

Kate’s life has been further flipped upside down when she finds out that her father, the one who raised her, is not her biological father.  She wants answers.  Kate has always felt as if she didn’t fit in.  It’s not that her dad wasn’t a great man – I mean Kate is a PI for goodness sakes and curiosity drives her.

Add in one more story line, there is a cold case in Idlewood.  20 years ago, a young lady was murdered, and the case is unsolved.  DNA evidence that is uploaded brings another clue all this time later.    Ok, I know that sounds like a lot and how can you possibly have three story lines going and wrap it all up in a cozy mystery?  Listen, Alex Kenna does just that. 

This is a no fluff page turner that will keep you guessing.   Kate is a complex character.  A strong female protagonist that we love, admire, understand and root for.  She is relatable.  Things like addiction, divorce, family issues and custody battles that bring her to life; Kate is someone you know.   Kenna has made her mark, and I will not miss the next installment of this series.  There is even a little romance, hope and healing that makes this an uplifting mystery that is tied up with a bow and leaves the reader ready for the next Kate Myles adventure.

The Lake Of Lost Girls By Katherine Greene

This book checks all the boxes for me.  Alternating timelines, unsolved cold cases, dark secrets, multiple unreliable characters and a sister who wants to know the truth are perfectly woven together to make this a haunting novel that you do not want to miss. (Let’s not forget the podcast clips that are thrown in – AHHH its perfect!)

Jessica Fadley left for college in the fall of 1998.  On her sister Lindsay’s 6th birthday, she goes missing from her home.  Jessica isn’t the only girl from college that went missing that year.  There were three others, and no bodies or clues have ever been found.  The investigation went cold, and no answers were given.  There are clues and similarities that tie the girls together, but apparently some secrets are best left hidden.  Twenty four years later when a podcast picks up this cold case and a journalist, Ryan, comes to town, the heated story picks right back up as secrets, lies and bodies are found in the lake.    

This is a fast paced bingeable read.  It is also one that you want/need to read with someone because when the ending hits – you are going to need to talk about it out loud.  You can’t hold it in.  I am really looking forward to seeing what else Katherine Greene writes.  I will be following her closely!

In Too Deep By Lee Child & Andrew Child

Reacher wakes up with no short-term memory, handcuffed to a table and so begins In Too Deep.  Like other Jack Reacher novels, this can be read as a standalone, but the adventure continues and the characters, both familiar and new, are on a multiple storyline adventure that will have you burning through the pages.  The story jumps between multiple POV’s and does NOT get bogged down. 

Fletcher, Vidic, Kane and Paris are thieves.  Art forgeries, corporate blackmail, you name it – if it is attached to money they will take it.  They will double cross each other and none can be trusted.  Reacher has been thrown into their mess and involved in the worst possible situation and has no idea how he got there. Little pieces to the missing information puzzle (IYKYK) come back as the story progresses. 

For fans of the entire series, we get what we are expecting, Reacher knows what time it is, the diner is there, black coffee and a woman.  The pace in this one NEVER slows down.  Reacher kicks a lot of ass and kills a lot of people.  Rogue FBI agents, a police detective, and a de facto leader of thieves allow the twists and turns to come at the reader, and some that will have you saying – ‘I did not see that coming.’

Good Looking Ugly By Rob D. Smith

I could not wait to get my hands on this.   A Kentucky author and a story steeped in Bluegrass culture will win me over every time.  Daniel Brown may be my favorite anti-hero ever.  Each character in this debut novel is flawed and rooted in 100% absolute truth.  Truth for generations.  It is raw and real. 

As the story progresses and we get to know Daniel, Jayla and others; little pieces of their history growing up are given to us in a way that we get to know and love them.  Scenes inside of the cock fighting ring, The Kentucky Fried Mafia and the Sportsman’s Clubs are immersive and authentic.  (I will never admit that I have been to anything other than a moose lodge - maybe)  The interaction with the grandmother – shew wee!!! (Yes, I have been hit by a wooden spoon.)   

Good Looking Ugly is way more than a down and dirty, gritty crime thriller.  Outcasted members of society, broken homes, drug addicts and jailbirds have more than one side to their story.  The reader is on an adventure like no other.  We get to watch priorities change, love grow, and anger be stifled.  We get to see vigilante justice and trades made.  I have so much hope that this is just the first book in a series and Daniel finishes up what was started.

Origin Story By A.M. Adair

Elyse Tyson awakes from a coma, shackled to her bed, with  no memory of how she got there or who she was.  Eylse finds out that she is a serial killer who admitted to the ruthless killings and has no plan to stop.  So, the question remains, is her amnesia real or is it a cop out to get out of the death penalty that she is facing. 

Prison life isn’t easy, but can you imagine prison life as a weak person, who has no idea how they got there and having a ringleader of a gang inside the women’s prison after you?  This novella was suffocating at times.  I could feel the walls closing in on Elyse in one scenario, and as the story progresses, I was cheering on a serial killer.

To say that I was chomping at the bit for this one is an understatement!  While this is a novella, it is action packed from the start and will not let up until the end, leaving the reader breathless and wondering if A.M. Adair and all her talent will bring Elyse Tyson forward in the future.  (please?)

The Slate By Matthew Fitzsimmons

Meet Agatha Cardiff.  20 years ago she was a political operative and fixer working for Congressman Paul Paxton as his chief of staff.  She was asked to cover up a scandal that would ruin his political career.  Agatha was good at her job and she walked away. Today, she is living off the grid, secluded.  However, now Paul Paxton is the President. Agatha being the competitive and gifted liar that she is, becomes drawn into the political scene once again. 

From the prologue to the conclusion I was drawn in and held there. This book has a very 'real' feel to it.  The events that happen on the pages are plausible and could happen.  Agatha Cardiff may be flawed, but she is real and the kind of heroine that you will get behind and want to see more of.  This is a very well-paced, page turning character driven novel, that I did not want to take a break from reading.  

Reading this as our nation gets closer and closer to a major election heightened everything for me.  It really highlights just how dysfunctional and corrupt our political system is no matter what side of the fence you are on.  Staffers, lobbyists, journalists, more Congressmen, and the Russian mob all figure into the dynamic, giving Agatha a dangerous and interconnected plot to unravel.  I hope there is a sequel to this story.  Agatha is an amazing character.

Hometown Vendetta By Traci Hunter Abramson

A domestic terrorism incident at a FEMA building brings FBI Special Agent Amberlynn Reiner and Marine Captain Luke Steele together in the most unlikely way. They must work together to identify those responsible for the bombing when a class ring is recognized by Luke from a photo during the investigation.  Luke, Amberlynn and her team at the FBI are trying to identify all the players on a small-town high school championship football team and what connects those individuals to the bombing.  However, time is of the essence, because they believe that a second bomb is to be detonated soon.  Together they head off to Luke’s hometown for his 15-year high school reunion. 

Abramson has put together a cast of characters that are endearing and familiar.  The tidbits of their pasts are dropped in perfectly so that you get more history and connection with each page.  Hometown Vendetta is a fast paced and intriguing political thriller.   (add in a little clean romance and I say winner winner chicken dinner).  Hands down a stay up all-night barn burner.  I have no idea how she did it but before I was 1/3 of the way through, I was in love with Luke and Amberlyn and I cannot wait to see where they go next.

Somewhere By Matthew Reed Williams

I am one of the very lucky ones who was able to ARC read this.  I am telling you this because I went into it with only the blurb and no reviews to compare it to and I am so glad that I did.  I am a ‘lean all the way in’ reader and I could not have predicted how much I enjoyed this book.  I have marked and tabbed and talked about this book BOTH times I read it. I could give you a play by play and my version of a blurb or I can try and convince your next must read! 

Matthew Reed Williams has ripped the canvas between the material world and the immaterial world.  He has flawlessly joined horror and paranormal together to make a book that needs to be read twice.  See the second time, you will see all the easter eggs and the clues that were dropped along the way and it will be even more cohesive.  This man is talented. 

Lee knows from the beginning that something is amiss in this picture (IYKYK) perfect town.  The house he is living in seems to be coming to life at the same time every night.  The descriptions of the things and people that Lee sees are so vibrant and full of depth that the reader can see, smell and taste them.  I love that the author uses common place words that connect it and make it that much more personal.
“Bones and intestines beneath, like white chop sticks poking out of a bowl of red soaked oozing noodles.”  
“The sound was not reverberating through the woods, but rather spilling out of the woman’s mouth, trickling out like a noxious gas.”
”The shadow was rhythmic, almost like a metronome appearing and disappearing...”

The pacing is perfect.  There is no down time in the middle, only a need to figure out what is going on in Somewhere.  There is no doubt that you, dear reader, will want to know what ‘is true’.  Our author integrates Biblical references throughout the book that just seals the horror vibe for me.  Prepare to be scared, breathless and turn the pages at mach speed and hope to goodness you never find Somewhere.

The President's Lawyer By Lawrence Robbins

Rob Jacobson is a high-powered Washington DC defense attorney whose best friend, since childhood, happens to be the former POTUS, Jack Cutler.   Former President Jack Cutler has an insatiable appetite for women and for taking things that are not his.  Jack’s most recent mistress, Amanda has been murdered. The investigating officers try and pin the murder on the former president and Rob has been asked to defend Jack in the case of a lifetime.  These two are connected in more ways than just being best friends. 

Told from Rob Jacobson’s POV, readers are giving not only an insight into the trial proceedings, but how the murder investigation works, forensic evidence inside of the trial proceedings, and the most important part, the dynamic relationship between Rob and Jack throughout their lives.  You see, the former president has a dark side.  One that you may not expect, but boys will be boys right?

This twisted legal thriller has clues dispersed throughout the book.  Maybe it is a background story, a clue that an investigator has added to the murder trial, or a conversation between a client and a therapist.  However, these come at you, you will be surprised multiple times as the story progresses.  Red herrings and individuals with possible motives abound. The verdict is in!  Lawrence Robbins has given us a don’t miss legal thriller with jaw dropping moments that will keep the pages turning.

Not Yours To Keep By Zelly Ruskin

Motherhood, adoption, fertility issues, unplanned pregnancy, domestic abuse and sexual assault of a minor are tough subjects.  They bring unwanted emotions and tears.  These topics can be filled with love and fear.  Zelly Ruskin has used her experience as a social worker to delicately weave these topics together in an amazing slow burn thriller that should not be missed.

Not Yours to Keep is told in alternating POV’s.  We have Billie Campbell, an adoption specialist.  Her heart is in her job, but she and her husband, Tyler are experiencing some tough infertility issues and loss of pregnancies as they make their way through their day to day lives.  Tyler Campbell, Billie’s husband, is a very hard-working attorney who is trying to make junior partner.  Tyler has his doubts about becoming a father and starting a family because of Billie’s health issues (and a few other reasons – no spoilers).  Then, we have Anne.  Anne has a connection to Tyler that builds as each chapter unfolds.  Tyler is keeping secrets and Anne is becoming more and more of a loose cannon as the story progresses. 

Secrets, a missing baby and the ache to love a child will have you turning pages nonstop to see how this debut novel finishes.  Love, fear, happiness and anger all play a part in this wonderful intricately told story.

Fortunate Son By Andrew Bridgeman

I cannot get over the fact that this is Andrew Bridgeman’s debut novel.  There are so many twists and turns and perfectly  placed easter eggs all through this novel that it is hard to write a review without spoilers.  The prologue starts off with a kidnapping of two young twin boys from a wealthy family. This is all part of a greater plan.  A prophecy that includes the Father and believers that are perfectly placed to complete a plan that is decades in the making. 

Enter Emma Nobel.  She is a strong female protagonist and is fresh out of the FBI Academy.  Emma was thrown to the wolves and paired with a snarky Special Agent Briar Metcalf.  She can hold her own, don’t worry.  And you, dear reader, will be cheering her on the entire time.  She has connections that will be revealed later.  (sweet nibblets this book is good)

A DNA test matches a man named Ben Danvers with the kidnapping all those years ago and Emma is tasked with telling Ben about who is real parents and past are.  Ben thought he was raised in Vermont by an oddly strange and controlling couple and then suddenly finds out that he is the son of the incoming Vice President.

Fortunate Son takes place at a time in our nation’s history  that is racked with civil unrest, protests, manipulations of elections, ransomware, corporations being held hostage, hate being fueled by social media, attacks and bombings and gun violence, and the question needs to be answered, who is attacking us?  Who is pulling ‘at the fabric of our society?’   (Sounds familiar right?  This is exactly why you need to read this).

This is the first book of the Emma Nobel series, and I cannot wait for the next one.  Well developed characters, antagonists that you empathize with and a plot that will give you more than one ‘holy smokes did that just happen’ moment.  This deadly prophecy must be stopped no matter the cost.  This is an edge of your seat dark and psychological political thriller full of deception and a race against time.  Do not miss this.

Heroic Measures By Joel Shulkin

I am in the habit of reading the author's notes and about his or her background before I pick up the first book by them.  For me, as a reviewer, this puts some pieces together and helps me to understand the writer’s perspective and what they draw from.  Reading Heroic Measures by Joel Shulkin, MD is a perfect example of what those things are important.  He is a developmental-behavioral pediatrician and a United States Air Force Veteran and clearly a comic book lover from a young age.

Heroic Measures grabbed me and refused to let go.  My only regret is that I did not start it the day it arrived on my doorstep.  The prologue set the pace, and it never let up.  Stephen Englehart, an Armed Forces medical examiner takes pride in his job.  He wants to give the soldiers he sees peace and gives respect to those who have fallen.  He is a stickler for details and a problem solver.  So when a soldier comes in that is supposed to be burned beyond recognition, but the only injury he can see is a broken jaw, Stephen starts to ask questions. 

Thriller lovers know, there is no such thing as a coincidence and so begins the chase for the truth.  This story has the perfect blend of fantasy/sci fi/supernatural elements, forensic science, military background and deceit.  Secrets so big that the higher ups will do what is necessary to keep it quiet.  The pieces to the puzzle come together to let you know that there is something lurking in the shadows of the military, but who has the most to lose? This is a jaw dropping, nonstop ride that should not be missed!

The Bachelorette Party By Sandra Block

My first book by Sandra Block and now I have another author to seek out and read.  It sure is a good day to be a thriller reader!

“Have a nice bachelorette party.  I hope you fucking die.”

Short chapters and dual times have the pages flipping at a breakneck pace.  I have never wanted to skip the past and read only the NOW chapters or just skip the end so badly in my entire life.  I mean the discipline that it took to stay the course - I think I need ice cream for a reward!

The first timeline is now, Alex and her two best friends Lainey and Melody are heading out to celebrate Alex’s upcoming wedding.  I can honestly say that the now chapters blurred a little into horror and Groundhog Day and that is totally a good thing.  The second timeline is following Alex, who works for Crimeline (she is a budding journalist who is also a true crime junkie).  Alex has chosen to try and ‘debunk’ the 666 serial killer case.  With plenty of leads, clues to follow, notes to read and podcasts to listen to, our author is able to set a stage little by little making the intensity level which a panicked high. (again totally a good thing)

This crime thriller is nothing short of a knockout.  I was hanging on to every word.  The further that Alex pushes through her research and the days to her wedding grow closer, the more often death knocks at her door!  This is a must read.

Love You Till Tuesday By M. E. Proctor

M. E. Proctor has burst onto the crime fiction scene with tenacity and grace.  Love You Till Tuesday gives the reader more than a cookie cutter detective series.  She introduces us to Declan Shaw, a wise cracking, soft spoken hard ass who lives his life at 100 mph in every single aspect.  Choices and consequences of his younger self made him who he is today. 

After a sordid one-night stand with a musician, April Easton is found dead in her apartment and Declan can be placed in her presence the weekend of the murder.   His calm and cool demeanor helps him to get the answers that he needs. Even though this relationship with April was fleeting, he wants to get answers.  He needs ‘to understand what happened.  Clearly her ‘murder served a purpose’ and Declan Shaw needs ‘to believe that there’s logic in the world, even if it’s twisted.’    

Readers, there is nothing that I find more fulfilling than a detective mystery full of high-profile players that you follow along pulling that individual’s string seeing how each one is connected to the other.  Finding out how deep their pockets are and the connections to each other all while wrapping it all up and leaving me wanting more.  I got everything I could ask for! I cannot wait to see what M.E. Proctor comes up with next.  Declan Shaw is here to stay.

The Chamber By Will Dean

I was immediately immersed in a situation that I have zero prior knowledge of.  I had no idea what a SAT diver was, why they were needed or what their job entailed.  Thankfully, this has a vocabulary list at the beginning to help put things in perspective.  It is also important to note that as the story progresses the reader can understand what is going on and be more and more empathetic to the situation. The research that went into this is phenomenal.

Six highly experienced saturation divers enter a hyperbaric chamber to do their job.  They work at great depths for extended periods of time.  When not working they live in a small area with the other divers for as long as it takes to get the job done.  The downside is that if things go sideways, they cannot decompress immediately.  This could take days or weeks. 

Each of these divers must rely on the other.  There is no escape if a job goes sideways or even if a diver has an accident.  They have zero control and must depend on who is sending down food and water and air.  They could easily be killed or starved to death down there and they must trust the crew.  After a close call on the first mission, divers are starting to drop dead from reasons they cannot decipher.  The Chamber is a locked-room thriller that will make you weak, claustrophobic and scared.  They don’t know who to trust.  They can’t decompress fast enough, and the walls are closing in.   This is a soul stirring, atmospheric thriller that I will not soon forget.
