Two FREE month trial of Scribd!

Honestly, Scribd is the best. It has audiobooks, ebooks and more for one low monthly price of $8.99, but of course if you sign up through my link, you can try it for FREE for two months. It would mean a lot if you gave it a try.

 

Scribd has everything, from bestsellers, to old and new books and just a large collection in general. Just at a glance, I can see that they do have some new releases as well. I went to one of my  "want to read" list on Goodreads and found a bunch of those books on Scribd! It's pretty amazing.

I recently enjoyed: 

Highly creepy novella, disturbing, but also sad and heartbreaking for several reasons. A trigger warning kind of book.

suicide attempt, mentions rape, baby death, talks about abortion...etc.

(spoiler show)

 

I've also enjoyed several R L Stine books through Scribd, some Karin Slaughter, VC Andrews & much more!

 

I am looking forward to listening to:

 

Mr Rogers & LeVar Burton!? (He's the guy from Reading Rainbow...two things from my childhood coming together.)

 

 

**Signing up through my link doesn't give me $, but it does help toward my subscription fee.**

Review: Split Second (Sean King & Michelle Maxwell #1) by David Baldacci
Split Second - David Baldacci

I've been reading too many Urban Fantasy type books and needed a break.  I love mysteries and thrillers.  I had read a couple of David Baldacci's current works and thought they might entertain me.  

What I liked:  I really love how authors portray characters.  In this instance the male lead, Sean King, is no longer the kick butt hero he used to be.  He's smart but not a ninja.  The female lead, Michelle Maxwell, is more the kick butt but she's impulsive.  The other characters are a mixed bag.  I especially liked that Mr. Baldacci showed the thought process of his characters.  I liked King and Maxwell as a team.  They were believable.    



I figured out the mystery portion of the book earlier than I would have liked but I wasn't completely right and I had the reasoning all wrong.  That's a good thing.


What I didn't like:  I think I expected more after reading a couple of Mr Baldacci's latest works,  The Innocent and The Hit.  Split Second was an entertaining quick read but not exactly memorable.  

The pricing is $6.64 for Kindle and $7.41 for the paperback.  
 

If you are going to read this series, I recommend getting the books from the library.  I might give the series another book or two to see what happens and if the characters progress.

King and Maxwell (King & Maxwell)
King and Maxwell - David Baldacci David Baldacci is reliable. This is exactly the book I'd expect it to be, and I enjoyed it. To my taste, it was a little heavy on dialogue, and I believe it could have been edited more tightly. But it's a solid Baldacci story with positive resolution at the end, and I look forward to his next release.

Recommended.
