Saint Odd by Dean Koontz ( The Last Odd Thomas novel)

Saint Odd by Dean Koontz
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

All good things must eventually come to an end. This is the eighth and final volume about my favorite fry cook and all around good guy. This series has been a joy to read, as are many of Dean Koontz's novels. But, Odd Thomas was special. In Odd Thomas we discovered the guy we longed to be,caring, brave, virtuous, and innocent. There is so much to say, but it is my feeling that spoiler free reviews are best. Suffice it to say, that in this book, Odd comes full circle. Back to Pico Mundo in order to save the town and the people from great evil.
If you have never enjoyed a Dean Koontz novel, pick up book one, Odd Thomas and be prepared for a wonderful journey.

Men of Covenant by Robert Millett (LDS)

Men of Covenant by Robert L. Millet
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the wonderful trilogy that began with "Men of Valor" and continued in "Men of Influence" I had the opportunity to talk with Brother Millett in April of 2014 and he told me he was working on this book. I am so glad it is here now to learn from and enjoy.

Like everyone, I have opinions. One of those is that every Melchizedek priesthood holder should read this book and the two others. It should be mandatory. We know from prophetic counsel that we need to be reading from the "best books" in order to strengthen ourselves and our faith. I firmly believe this. These books are well worth the time involved.

Brother Millett goes into great depth about just what a covenant is, why we have them and how do we honor them. He also illustrates many examples from the scriptures and the prophets and apostles to further bring enlightenment to the humble seeker of truth. If you are an LDS woman out there please, buy Men of Valor for your husband, then after he reads it, read it yourself. I believe that the Sisters need to help hold us accountable. Because when we get right down to it, we need each other to reach exaltation. Let's make the journey happy and memorable.

Orphan X by Gregg Hurwitz (Evan Smoak #1) !!!

Orphan X by Gregg Hurwitz
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book that I have read from Gregg Hurwitz and wow! I am so glad that I have discovered the next great character in thriller fiction. Orphan X is the real deal. I had the same feeling reading this book and getting to know Evan Smoak as I did many years go discovering Jack Reacher in Killing Floor. Run, do not walk to get this book. You will not be sorry.
The beginning of this series has set the bar high in what I hope is a long, successful run. so, looking forward to book two!
