I've enjoyed the Nikki Heat books because of the tie in to the TV show, which I enjoy watching. They've been a fun and entertaining reading experience, where I find myself picturing the fictional TV show characters as the characters in the books. It actually adds dimension to the reading experi...
Decent enough effort that gets a lot of mileage from readers' investment in the show Castle and the "reputation" that the character Derrick Storm has from that. The whole time I am imagining Richard Castle writing this piece with all the over-the-top ridiculousness that goes along with that. I ca...
Love these from Castle "author". They're sizzling hot mysteries!! Love these from Castle "author". They're sizzling hot mysteries!!
I love the Castle TV series on ABC. I was really intrigued when the Nikki Heat books started to become a reality and were actually published. I have read the first 3 or 4 and once I stopped trying to see the TV show in them they were fun to read. I was excited to see that some of Castle's earl...
Saw a glowing review of this and requested from library. Started it yesterday and it just seemed "off." A police procedural with a female protag and her Pulitzer-winning BF sounded good, but there was something odd about the tone of voice.I checked the info page and it was copyrighted by ABC st...
This is purportedly written by the fictional author Richard Castle, a character in the "Castle" TV series. It was interesting to read just this one, to see what the series producers have in mind as the kind of book Castle writes. And the mystery was a decent one. But on the whole, the book was ra...
I truly did enjoy this e-short. It is the first part of a trilogy. So, the ending is... to be continued. I was happy to see Derrick Storm come back from the dead. He seemed like such a great character I had a hard time believing Richard Castle would kill him off for good. Sort of like how Sir Art...
I fully expected this to be terrible...but it was actually better than some of Clancy's final books and I happily read it in a single sitting. That is, by writing a near-parody of the espionage/political intrigue pulp novel, the authors managed to inject some life and levity back into it.With th...
I enjoyed this book. The first part of a three part trilogy (best of the three) sees Derick Storm (a character talked about on the television show Castle) come out of retirement to solve the mystery of the kidnapping of a senators step son. The book ends on a cliffhanger that really wasn't predic...
on it slapped across its reinforced steel door. Jones flipped over the strip so that the word “OPEN” was visible in bright red letters and punched a combination into an electronic screen that simultaneously verified his fingerprint. From the safe, he withdrew a thick red envelope marked “PROJECT ...
one of the tales related by Scheherazade in One Thousand and One Nights. In it, a fisherman discovers an ornate trunk, which he sells to the caliph, the ruler of all Islam. When the caliph opens the trunk, he finds the body of a young woman, hacked to pieces. The caliph di...
said Rook as they got into their taxi outside the hospital. “Nice. Mr. Sensitivity strikes again.” “What? I didn’t kill him. You did. You killed him.” “Would you please stop saying that?” “But you did. You killed Uncle Tyler.” He arched a brow at her. “I hope you’re happy now.” Heat turned away a...
Once he cleared city limits, Derrick Storm pointed himself toward the designated rendezvous point, a manor house that was only seven hundred years old and therefore not considered very interesting by the French. The house was on the outskirts of Blois (pronounced “blah”), southwest of Paris. Stor...
she called. Rook instinctively whipped his head from side to side, scanning the park for a shooter. Backhouse, still mesmerized, held his gaze on the drone. Heat broke his geeky trance with a hard shove and a leg sweep to the back of his knees. He howled in alarm as he went down. His yell was pun...
