Oculus Cover Reveal

The oh-so fabulous Michael Offutt has a new book coming out, the second in his

Crisis of Two Worlds series.

Isn't it cool?

Autumn has arrived in New York, and Jordan Pendragon attends his first classes as a freshman at Cornell. Born with a brilliant mathematical mind, he balances life as a research assistant with that of a student athlete.

But Jordan also has a quest. He must find the Black Tower, a monolithic edifice housing a thing that defines the very structure of the universe. Jordan believes it is buried somewhere in Antarctica under miles of prehistoric ice.

October finds Jordan earning a starting position with the Cornell hockey team. But a dark cloud gathers over his rookie season. Unexplained deaths, whispers of a cannibal cult, a prophecy, and a stone known only as the Oculus, cast a shadow over his athletic ambitions. It is the start of a terrifying journey down a path of mystery, murder, and to a confrontation with an Evil more ancient than the stars.

I have oh-so-many of them on my Kindle right now. I finally took some time to read through some of them. Here are the ones I found noteworthy and which may be promoted to full book status on my Kindle soon.

 

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

 

 

There’s been a lot of buzz about this one through book review blogs, so I decided to download the sample. I think the main thing that drew me in was the voice and the unique attention to detail.

 

Slipstream by Michael Offutt

 

 

The book started with a real hook that pulled me instantly into the story. So I am anxious to read on! Plus, Michael is über fantastic. You can find his blog here.

 

Hate List by Jennifer Brown

 

 

Okay, so I know this is a little dated. But I just read the sample and so want to read more. Luckily for me, my local library has this one on hand. So it may not actually wind up on my Kindle after all.

Do you have any noteworthy samples on your e-reader?
