BRINGS BACK THE INTERNATIONAL INTRIGUE OF THE COLD WAR IN A THRILLING NEW WAY! It is late January 1988 and CIA agent Tracie Tanner is still reeling from the Moscow mission where she barely escaped with her life. Her boss, CIA Director Aaron Stallings, has received intel that there is a secret Soviet military base in the Ural Mountains. Stallings gives Tracie what appears to be a simple mission: travel to Bashkir, extract as much information as she can about the base and return home in four days. But once Tracie gets to the location she sees something that changes her mission entirely. Ryan Smith, the CIA agent that saved her life during the Moscow mission, has been captured and is being held prisoner in this secret military base in Bashkir. Tracie vows to save his life as he did hers or die trying. Ever smart and cunning, Tracie Tanner, faces a moral dilemma in this one that will eternally haunt her. Taut with tension and packed with bonechilling scenes that leap off the pages, The Bashkir Extraction brings back the international intrigue of the cold war in a thrilling new way. ~TopShelf Review

KEPT ME READING LONG INTO THE NIGHT!!!
Darcy Daniel’s award-winning thriller THE DEVILS' CRADLE reminded me of the first time I read Sandra Brown. From the opening page to the last, the novel is fraught with tension, suspense, and pathos and kept me reading long into the night. Here is a writer destined for great things.

SHORT HORROR STORIES WITH A SURPRISE ENDING Incredibly engaging, quick short stories with surprise endings because there was always a twist. The first story actually made me say "what the heck" out loud as the final twist was revealed. The main character made you feel sorry for her situation. Then when the twist was revealed, I had a "you go girl" moment. In the second story, I had a feeling of what the guys were up to. I did not expect a multigenerational event nor the twist at the end as she tried to getaway. The third story had a whodone-it vibe to it, and although it felt like it was really down between two characters, I never would have guessed the killer's motivation. I enjoyed this collection of short stories. ~Jenn Kraft, TopShelf Review
