The Customer is Always... by Stuart Keane
This novella rocketed into my weekend, grabbing hold and didn’t let go until I ran out of pages. I was so stunned by the intense breakneck speed at which this suspense thriller unfolded that I read it in one sitting. Mr. Keane skillfully immerses the reader into a crazy emotional race against time to save a life. What seemed like a regular day for this customer service representative takes a bizarre deadly turn. An irate customer calls and threatens murderous retribution after having his insurance policy canceled. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep pages turning until the explosive conclusion. I highly recommend Stuart Keane and this thrilling fast read.

An Untamed State by Roxane Gay
Expertly written with prose that read like a fast-paced first person crime novel. This story has no fluff at all and takes the reader on a trip from America to Haiti. A young family is visiting relatives when the young mother is kidnapped front of her husband and young son. Her father, a rich construction businessman refuses to pay ransom and she is forced into a nightmare world of unbelievable brutally. She's beaten, raped and burned by a group of men who keep her against her will. Her ability to fight back against overwhelming odds and defy her captors is truly heroic. I couldn't help but cringe at the physical and psychological damage Mireille faces throughout this story. Touching and emotionally real, I found myself drawn in and rooting for Mireille to be released or escape. A gripping page-turner, I couldn’t put down.
