J.T. Ellison "Edge of Black"

By reading the blurb of this book, I knew it was going to be good. By the end I came to a conclusion about Harlequin's blurbs. They always get details about the books wrong. You expect something to happen in the book and it never does! It is very frustrating.

Other than that this was a good book. A pathologist, Dr. Samantha Owens, gets sucked into a terrorist plot that somehow involves her mountaineer significant other. Together they try an figure out who is behind the plot.

I really don't want to give anything away because it really is exciting to read and be swept in the story. The more you know about it the less thrilling it becomes. I am happy with this book because it kept me enthralled the whole time. It defiantly is a rare Harlequin good read.

Michael Palmer- "Critical Judgment"

I am a bad hypochondriac. I check my pulse everyday and I freak out when I get a headache thinking it is a brain tumor. Having said that, I still manage to be able to read medical thrillers. I love them, too. Robin Cook really freaks me out, and yet I still can't help but read his books. This is the first Michael Palmer book I have read, and it definitely will not be the last.

I hate hospitals.

Dr. Abby Dolan is a newbie at the hospital in Patience, California while her boyfriend works at a battery plant nearby. As time goes on, she finds more and more curious cases of symptoms that can't be diagnosed as anything. Soon she begins to find more strange happenings that lead her into a dangerous investigation as to what exactly is going on at the battery plant.

I loved this book so much. It was fast-paced and exciting. It gave me yet another excuse to not go to the hospital. I have like, a billion excuses. There was a lot of times where I found myself skipping paragraphs due to all the medical stuff, but it's a medical thriller so what the hell else is it going to have in it? The ending was great as well. Definitely nothing I predicted. Dr. Abby was a kick ass protagonist and a damned good doctor. I wish I could be that cool, but alas, I have to worry about my pulse instead.
