  Harry Tate: Book 1

  Red Station

  I did not want to put this book down. Browsing through the library's choices for an e-book this caught my eye. It is book one in the Harry Tate series.

Great plot, good writing and an all around pleasant read. Cloak and dagger thriller.

  Zero

  by Michael McBride

  • Rated 4 stars

  This is different from Mike McBride's other books - it's more of a techno-thriller rather than an FBI thriller or straight on horror. It does have elements of horror and was a very good read. I enjoyed it a lot!
