The Blurbs:
The Halo Effect
The first book in the Butterfield Institute series featuring sex therapist, Dr. Morgan Snow who struggles with preserving her patient's privacy and the dangerous and sometimes criminal things she hears. She sees everything from the abused to the depraved, from couples grappling with sexual boredom to twisted sociopaths with dark, erotic fetishes and the Butterfield institute is the sanctuary where she helps soothe and heal these battered souls.
Vigilante
A vigilante prowls the streets of Montreal, ridding it of its predators while the harried police race the clock to stop the remorseless killer before he strikes again. But whose justice will ultimately prevail: theirs, or the vigilante's?
The Devil's Deep
A heart-pounding thriller that will stay with the reader long after the last page is turned, the Devil's Deep is a top rated suspense that travels from the hell of a long-term care facility to the rain forest of Costa Rica. And a crime committed under tropical waters, the dive known as El Bajo del Diablo--the Devil's Deep.
Traces of Kara
TRACES OF KARA is an action packed, pulse pounding psychological thriller/suspense novel that features a determined killer who slowly loses his grip on reality as his carefully detailed plan starts to fall apart and a heroine determined to move forward with her life who now must reconcile everything she believed to be true about her family with the reality of their tragic past.
The 19th Element
Retired military intelligence operative James "Beck" Becker and his American Indian cohort "Bull" confront a homegrown terror cell bent on causing nuclear disaster in America's Heartland. The threat is real; the hour is coming; and despite Beck's warning, no one is ready to defend.
Big Lake
When an armored car hijacking leaves two men dead, Arizona Sheriff Jim Weber takes the crime personally, because one of the dead men is his brother-in-law. His hunt for the killers leads him into a world of sordid sex, deceit, and violence, with a suspect list that includes jilted women, a family of anti-government survivalists, and the beautiful wife of the richest man in town.
Before Her Eyes
In a remote mountain community, the execution of a grocer and the abduction of a world-renowned model leave the local sheriff searching for a connection, two killers, and a woman flees for her life. While Dove Connelly sets his investigation in motion, Tessa Bradley escapes her captors only to find greater peril ahead. As her life passes before her eyes, Tessa struggles to stay alive, prays for rescue, and fights for salvation.
Corpus Christi
Jacob Hope unwittingly reveals that the gates of Hell have been unlocked and something imprisoned has broken loose to roam free upon the Earth. It cannot be bargained with, it cannot be defeated, it exists with only desolation in its heart... and it's coming for him.
Inadvertent Disclosure
In this gripping legal thriller, attorney Sasha McCandless arrives in rural Clear Brook County to argue a discovery motion and finds a town bitterly divided, as outsiders from the oil and gas industry and environmental activists threaten to rip apart the community's fabric in a battle over hydrofracking. Then the only judge in town is murdered, and Sasha must race to
find a killer before the town fractures beyond repair.

Some good some bad
The books contained in this set ranged from the very good to the very bad. I especially liked inadvertent disclosure and the halo effect. However, several of the stories needed a serious dose of reality as the authors took several liberties with their characters behaviour. Other than that and a little bit of bad storytelling, this book set is well worth the time and money.

I tried two. Both sucked! No wonder this was free. Absolute rubbish!

A couple of the stories were good, but the rest were mostly word salad to me. I probably got my 99 cents worth but not much more!

I really enjoyed this series except for the 8th book, really not my scene found it a bit far fetched. Enjoyed diversity of plots and characters.

Nine full books for the price you can't beat. I enjoyed all but the eighth which I found tedious and totally ridiculously unbelievable even for supernatural fiction. While the plot was novel, its execution was simplistic. The main character, Jake, was a clueless idiot without any depth. There was no explanation why he was the chosen one. Several times I considered not finishing this particular book but kept thinking it had to get better. It didn't and the ending was just as ridiculously simplistic as Jake's character was. However, there was great variety in the type of thrillers included in this edition. Overall, the series was so satisfying that I downloaded the next blue 9 more killer thrillers series (before I got to book 8 but I still look forward to the next set of killer thrillers).

I bought this collection because I wanted the Melissa Miller book and couldn't pass up getting 9 books for $.99. I figured that I would have received my money's worth even if I didn't like the other books in the collection. Wow! There are 9 amazing books in this collection. I am thrilled that I made this purchase. I enjoyed the book by Miller but also all of the other books as well.

Great read
I was very impressed by the quality of writing by these 9 authors. When I purchase a book with so many novels I just assume 1 or 2 of them will be worth reading, but I was pleasantly surprised to have enjoyed reading each one of them. They are an interesting mix of story lines and character development.

Overall a quality collection of short stories. The Melissa Miller piece was a standout, and I'll now read one of her full length books. I've now learned that my wife was already a fan of Miller's, and has one or two of her books on our Kindles already.

Liked several of the books. Irretrievably Broken by Melissa Miller was very good. Ill buy her next book. Crazy Days in Big Lake by Nick Russell would also get five stars, the rest probably three or four. Not a bad grouping of stories for a great price.

This collection started off slow, but got better as it went along with each book and there are a couple of authors that I may have to look into because of it.
