(23,373 posts)I finished London Force: A Beta Force Comedy Thriller by Ernest Dempsey.
The world's most dangerous cyber criminal is about to unleash a virus that will collapse the way of life for billions of people.
The only thing that stands between us and global anarchy are two guys who have almost no clue what they're doing.
Now Zeke Marshall and his partner Phoenix Underwood must find this cyber terrorist before it's too late.
Journey through the mean streets of London and beyond in this hilarious and thrilling sequel in the new action & adventure series that's taking the world by storm.
The author normally writes serious action novels with either an archaeology focus or espionage plot but this is a very funny send up; I really enjoy his plots and characters.
Currently reading: The King of Bones and Ashes by J.D. Horn
Book 1 of The Witches of New Orleans (New Orleans is the undisputed Paranormal Capitol of the US, right?). I am not very far into it, still getting to know all the characters and their connections.

While some see an inevitable end of their era, others are courting madnesswilling to sacrifice former allies, friends, and family to retain the power they covet. While the other witches watch their reality unravel, young Alice Marin is using magics waning days to delve into the mystery of numerous disappearances in the occult circles of New Orleans. Alice disappeared once, toocaged in an asylum by blood relatives. Recently freed, she fears her family may be more involved with the growing crisis than she ever dared imagine.
Yet the more she seeks the truth about her familys troubled history, the more she realizes her already-fragile psyche may be at risk. Discovering the cause of the vanishings, though, could be the only way to escape her mothers reach while determining the future of all witches.
This is the first of a 3 book series.
