J.T. Bishop

Award-winning author, J.T. Bishop, is a writer of mystery thrillers with a supernatural edge. Growing up, she read books by Stephen King, Mary Higgins Clark, and Dean Koontz, devoured every episode of The X-files, and watched plenty of TV shows with great partnerships that left her wanting more. She loves tangled relationships, unexpected twists and turns, heart-stopping love stories and the complications that come with all the above. Throw in a little supernatural fun and she’s hooked. Her evil plan is to hook you, too.

She’s the author of The Red-Line Trilogy and its sister series, The Fletcher Family Saga, which features touches of urban fantasy, light sci-fi, and paranormal romance. She’s also happily writing mystery thrillers featuring two charismatic detectives who may occasionally encounter a supernatural villain or two, and a crossover series which follows the exploits of a gifted, but troubled, paranormal P.I. and his spunky sister.

All the above keeps her busy, but in her spare time, she loves a good movie, tasty food, an unfortunate sugar addiction, and traveling.

Better and better!

Every book I read by this author is better than the last one! I'm not sure how she keeps improving on perfection... but she does.

I received an ARC and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

The story begins with Mason, Mikey, Trick and the remainder of the team having a get-together.
Once everyone arrived and the party began, there was knock at the front door. After answering, they discovered two people wanting to talk to the group. The person in charge wanted to hire them. They were told that all they needed to do was to stay at her property where there were luxury cabins for a period of five days and then write a review. Each of the parties would be paid $5,000 afterwards. This sounded like a great offer and this would provide them with a vacation as well.

Upon arriving, the couples were each assigned a cabin for their visit. There was also a clubhouse where they could all meet. The first day went great and they felt comfortable staying there. Once the 2nd day started and they were on a hike, things changed and they began to wonder what they signed up for. Before they knew it, they came under attack.

To discover what events the group had to overcome, what the real reason they were asked to the property and how this all worked out in the end, then you need to read this book. The ending is well worth it.

Lost Lives: A Paranormal P.I. Mystery Thriller (The Redstone Chronicles Book 5), my twenty-first read from author J.T. Bishop and the fifth book in the Redstone Chronicles. “I received a Kindle copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. The book was well-written & flowed smoothly & quickly. I look forward to reading more from this author and in particular Lost Hope: A Paranormal P.I. Mystery Thriller (The Redstone Chronicles Book 4). (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

J.T. Bishop has done it again!! What an awesome book this is. It was definitely worth the wait.
Characters from both series' come together for a very BIG adventure when a fun vacation turns into something else entirely.
This book has it all, it's funny, it's scary, it's suspenseful, and it keeps you guessing. Lots of character development and a relationship we've all been waiting for!
Don't miss this next book in Redstone Chronicles, it's a MUST READ!

This is book 5 of the series. Mason and his sister Mikey, along with their partner Trick, and two detective friends, Detectives Daniels and Remalla, set out for a getaway. A knock on the door brings people who want to pay them to stay at their place for five days and write a review. It starts out okay but soon takes a turn for the worst. Its now a question of survival. It is quite exciting. I received an ARC copy from the author and this is my honest review.

Great Read

As usual J.T. Bishop doesn’t disappoint. The whole gang, Mason, Trick and Mikey, along with Daniels and Remalla are invited to a posh campgrounds to give an honest, favorable review. What they encounter is anything but favorable.

The characters and their significant others are well developed. You feel for them, you fear for them. And now I wonder for them. Can’t wait for the next in this series.

This is a little cracker. It involved a lot of people that needed to sort this out. I really love the Redstone books and the Daniels and Remalla ones too. Where does this author get the storylines from I wonder. What’s coming next cannot wait to find out. Highly recommended.

A free vacation in a mountain cabin just for writing a review and getting paid for it. Rem, Daniels, Trick, Mason and Lindsey clear their schedules for a week of relaxation. All is not what it seems as they have to fight for their lives.

Mason and his sister Mikey get an amazing chance for a vacation. Their friends join them. Unfortunately there’s danger that they have no idea what to do about. Will they solve it and stay safe. Definitely worth the time to read.

New favorite of the series!

A stand out among a series of great books! Lost in the haunted woods is my favorite type of horror and adding REM and Daniel’s as main characters made it even better. I love the interaction between REM and Mikey and this was an excellent read!
