The Judgment of Richard Richter by Igor ŠtiksDisclaimer: I received a copy of the book in exchange for a review.
After reading a quarter of the book, I've put it aside and I have no intention of returning to it. The book is about a middle aged man who discovers his background isn't quite what he thought it was and goes looking for answers. It is told in the first person. For the part I've read, the protagonist has done nothing but whinge about something awful that happened to him on his quest which he will address later. The tone is melodramatic and overwrought. Not my cup of tea.

Blood of Elves by Andrzej SapkowskiMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
I listened to the audio book from Audible and did not actually read the book. The story is a fantasy Tolkien/D&D pastiche. It was not really my cup of tea; however, the reader, Peter Kenny, was so wonderful I enjoyed listening to the story.

Soulless by Gail CarrigerMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
I listened to the audio book from Audible and did not actually read the book. The story is a fantasy bodice ripper set in Victorian times involving werewolves, vampires, mad scientists, and a soulless heroine. It is not really my cup of tea; however, the reader, Emily Gray, was so wonderful I enjoyed listening to the story.

Deep Black by Sean McFateMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Disclaimer: I received a copy of the book for review.
I liked it much better than I was expecting to like a book about multiple mercenary groups performing seemingly opposing actions in the Middle East amid the various local political groups and religious jihadists. It helped that Tom Locke, the leader of the underdog group of mercenaries, was a likeable character. And there were more than enough bad guys to suit anyone's taste.

In the Footsteps of Dracula by Stephen JonesDisclaimer: I received this book in exchange for a review.
I could not finish this book. Given my visual acuity, the choice of typeface for the stories made the text all but unreadable for me. It was a struggle to decipher the words. After very slowly making my way through the first seven stories, I decided the rather dull and repetitive nature of what I had read did not warrant me trying to continue reading.

Among the Wicked by Linda CastilloMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Slightly more than a cozy mystery and slightly less than a thriller, a story about the odd goings on in an Amish community in upstate New York.
