Review: Love Poison by Pete Barber

Description:

Love is a dangerous drug.

Lab assistant and avid climber Amber Wilson is no stranger to risk. But she feels invisible around her handsome boss, Mark, until she accidentally doses him with an irresistible aphrodisiac that leaves him with a suicidal hangover. Abruptly fired, Amber and Mark partner up to research the source of the drug—a rare New Zealand mushroom—in hopes of refining it for safe use.

On their way to New Zealand to collect fungi samples, Amber is blindsided by a deep and intense romantic connection with Mark. Their new business plan is endangered by ruthless Maori mobsters who control a mushroom scheme they’re killing to protect. As the body count rises, Amber struggles to salvage her and Mark’s dreams, but when she risks her heart and acts alone, both of them could end up paying the ultimate price.

My Thoughts:
This book intrigued me from the very beginning. I was interested to see where things were going to go. The twists in the plot kept me glued to the book. I loved the characters. Mark and Amber were great but there were some others, including Amber's friend Maude that made the book fun to read. Love Poison is loaded with suspense, adventure, mystery, and even romance. An excellent book. I loved it. Highly recommend.

My Rating: *****

Review: Allah's Revenge by Pete Barber

Allah's Revenge by Pete Barber

Description:
When Allah's Revenge terrorizes the world with a nanotechnology weapon capable of destroying the human race, an English cop who won't give up becomes mankind's only hope for survival.

My Thoughts:
This is a fast-paced thriller that brings together technology and terrorism. Dawud, a brilliant scientist, develops nanobots that can be programmed to create fuel by consuming garbage. After having a religious experience, he turns the technology into a weapon that can kill large amounts of people, just by breathing it. It is scary, thinking that such a thing could possibly exist. The story was well-written and kept me on edge until the very end. The characters were fantastic and helped to keep me reading because I cared about what happened. It wasn't just about terrorists, but about people. The story sounded interesting, but ended up being better than I expected. Plenty of nail-biting suspense kept me riveted.


My Rating: *****
Steam Factor: !!
