book review by Nicole Yurcaba

In this emotional legal thriller, readers meet Bianca, a devoted aunt who cares for her Hodgkin's lymphoma-ridden niece, Josefina. Not only does Josefina struggle to fight the lymphoma ravaging her body, but she also navigates the grief she feels over the death of her young mother.

The US Review news was brought to you by...
Aiken in Check by Michael Frost Beckner

"This is that rare novel that teaches as well as entertains. Even as it raises questions and gives answers, it invites readers to think about right and wrong, good and evil, loyalty and betrayal, and the real cost of a life lived in service to one’s country rather than one’s self." 
 – The US Review of Books
The Ridders by Lisa Towles
 
"A gripping and exciting thriller.... Towles dives into the protagonist's psychological and emotional state of mind, riddled with indecision, leading to a downward spiral of guilt, a thirst for justice, and an unquenchable desire to uncover the mystery." 
–  RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books
Biotechnology: Scientific Advancement versus Public Safety by Conrad B. Quintyn
 
"An incredibly comprehensive history of the evolution of biotechnology. Quintyn demonstrates that though genetic engineering has forever altered the way we live, the ripple effects undeniably leave many unanswered implications for society..."
 - The US Review of Books
The Fifth Daughter of Thorn Ranch by Julia Brewer Daily
 
"A dignified, passionate, and layered tale in a rugged yet picturesque landscape... This book testifies to the rewards of fighting for enduring connections between family members and home." 
 - RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books
Five Mile Charlie: A Five Mile Christmasby Kimberly Adams
 
"Adams' talent shines in this charming tale. The narrative is entertaining, with endearing characters… a delightful read for Christmas or any other time of the year."
