Cliff Diver by Carmen Amato is the first book in the Emilia Cruz mystery series. I got both Carman Amato books in the series from the author with a request to read and review. When I went in June for holidays, I took both books with me and read them while away. Cliff Diver follows…
Birth of an Assassin is the debut novel by the author Rik Stone. I received a copy to read and review as part of a book tour. I do love books with assassins, and I even had an idea of what the book would be – how an assassin is made, due what circumstances he…
