Book Description:

Is Alex Nicholas really dead?

Two years since the brutal shooting of Alex Nicholas, a gambling underworld boss in Queens, NYC. But his brother, Michael, a respected CEO, struggles with a secret: his murdered brother has been communicating with him via his laptop using AI. This AI-Alex can foresee dangers in Michael’s path, and appears to be trying to help him – even controlling machinery and electronics via WiFi. Meanwhile, trouble is stirring in the historic capital cities of Rome, Berlin and Paris. Inside the Vatican, Monsignor Kurt Schlegelberger has designs to build his power and prepare for the sudden ascension of the Free Forces Party, a throw-back to the Nazis.

Schlegelberger will stop at nothing, but first he must deal with a new threat: someone appears to know the true story behind a series of murders in the US, committed by clergy to cover their tracks of child abuse within the Church. Alex’s re-appearance puts Schlegelberger’s plans in jeopardy. Dead or alive, the way to finish off Alex for good can only be to get to his close family, namely his brother Michael…

This fast-paced third instalment of E.J. Simon’s Death series will keep readers guessing to the very end.

My Review: 

Death Logs Out is the third installment from E J Simon’s Michael Nicholas series. The reader continues to follow Michael Nicholas world and newly found life of danger and intrigue. It has now been two years since his brother, Alex Nicholas, was murdered. Alex continues to contact Michael by virtual means. 

Death Logs Out involves many settings throughout the world including the United States, but Rome, Italy, Paris, France, Berlin, Germany and The Vatican. This book has much more suspense and mystery than the first two in Michael Nicholas series. There is corruption, Nazis, and the Pope entwined the story. Which made it a roller coasting riding thriller. I think this one is probably my favorite of the series to date. 

The mystery of Alex Nicholas’s murder and his ability to still contact Michael continues to intrigue. It seems as though Alex did not make as many appearances in this book like he did in the others. However, there was more questions whether or not he was actually dead. I liked that suspense trying and hoping this mystery would be solved. 

Death Logs Out gets a four and a half stars from me. I hope this is not the end of the Michael Nicholas series. I feel as though this series could go on and on for many more books. I would definitely be interested in continuing on. I enjoy getting to know Michael, Alex and the others that they have been involved with over the last three books. 

Recommended for those who enjoy creepy, unpredictable thrillers. I have already told my neighbor about it and she plans to pick up a copy for herself. 

I received this book from the author. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.

Book Description:

Some of the most powerful people in the world want to kill Michael Nicholas. Only his brother Alex can save him—the problem is that Alex is dead.

It’s been almost a year since Alex Nicholas, a Queens-based underworld boss, was gunned down. After Alex’s brutal murder, Michael inherited not only his brother’s business, but his enemies. Michael is now a key player in a world he once feared. By day, he is the head of a Fortune 500 company. By night, the CEO of Tartarus, one of the world’s largest illegal gambling operations.

Before his death, Alex invested heavily in breakthrough artificial intelligence software so that he could live forever. It worked. In his virtual form, Alex can communicate with Michael and monitor information—and people—in ways the NSA would envy.

It is Alex who discovers Michael’s life is in danger. He detects plots that reach from the darkest corners of Queens to the highest officials in the Vatican—and they all want Michael dead.

Michael is now in a race to save his life, but he is never alone. Alex is there to help him navigate through this maze of life and death. Also protecting Michael from the forces closing in around him is Sindy Steele, a beautiful and lethal bodyguard.

How far is Michael willing to go to save his own life and that of his family? Guided only by a familiar face on a computer screen, will the information Alex discovers allow Michael to go from being the hunted to the hunter?

My Review:

Death Logs In is the second installment from E J Simon's series, Michael Nicholas. The story continues with Michael Nicholas and his involvement in the investigation in the murder of his brother, Alex Nicholas. Michael is now a head of a major company, as well as, a CEO of Tartarus, an illegal gambling company. Alex is still communicating with Michael beyond the grave virtually. Only this time "virtual" Alex begins to set things in motion to save Michael's life, including from the bodyguard, Sindy Steele.

Like the first book of the Michael Nicholas series, Death Never Sleeps, I have conflicting feelings about how I feel about Death Logs In.  This time, I see a difference in Michael's personality. He is definitely showing signs of becoming his brother. I am not sure I like this new Michael or not. He is becoming more and more obsessed with Alex and his life. The change I saw in Samantha, Michael's wife, was probably even more of a surprise to me. They are both playing very dangerous and deadly game. They mystery and suspense gets more intense as everything unfolds. I just could not keep from being intrigued. I had to know what would happen next. The twists and turns are not at all predictable.

I am giving Death Logs In three and a half stars. This is one of the most uniquely written thrillers I have ever read. I am looking forward to what could possibly happen tin the next installment of the series, Death Logs Out.

I received this book from the author. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.

Book Description:

Where does life end, and death begin?

Brothers, Alex and Michael, weren’t particularly close in terms of their careers in their later years. But when Alex is murdered, Michael finds it necessary to keep Alex’s business running, at least for the foreseeable future.

With very little knowledge about what Alex actually did for a living, little does he envisage the level of complication this entails. Working closely with his cousins, Fat and Skinny Lester, Michael starts to get a sense of what needs doing … in whatever way Alex would have dealt with things.

But, when Alex’s current wife, and his two ex-wives, surface and start to dish out demands, Michael finds himself going deeper and deeper into Alex’s personal space. All his ex-wives knew there was money left hidden … but only Alex knew of its exact location.

When Russell, an old friend of Michael’s, and Alex’s most trusted person, offers to help Michael find the money, Michael feels he can start closing up on Alex’s loose ends and move on with his own, increasingly complicated life.

Until … Russell is brutally murdered …

Someone else is after Alex’s money … and it’s not a friendly person.

But is Alex really dead? Or is he as dead as he has prepared himself to be?

Michael is beyond confused … is he imaging the conversations he’s having with Alex? But Alex was shot dead in his own restaurant, one filled with policemen. Surely, Alex is dead?

Whichever way Michael tries to rationalize things in his head, Alex’s support is beyond what he needs. Finding himself face to face with a crook, Sharkey, one who has no qualms about killing people, one Alex was in debt to, Michael takes on Alex’s advice … dead or not!

As the number of deaths rise, Michael and his wife, Samantha, are left on their toes. Would they ever feel safe again? Is anyone safe? And how far did Alex go with his new venture?

My Review:

Death Never Sleeps is the first installment from the Michael Nicholas series by E J Simon. In the beginning, a reader is introduced to the rich and powerful bookie from Queens, New York, Alex Nicholas. He is involved in some illegal dealings that leads to his murder. He leaves behind a son, widow, two ex wives, numerous mistresses and a brother, Michael. Unlike his brother, Michael lives his life right with his beautiful wife, Samantha. Somehow, Michael reluctantly gets sucked into the mystery of who murdered Alex. As he starts to investigate what happened that led up to his brother's demise, he discovers a unique laptop belonging to Alex. When he logs into it, Alex appears onscreen. That is when the story gets quite wild and crazy that he would have never ever in his life predicted.

I have mixed feelings about Death Never Sleeps. It is definitely not my normal read. I am not that big of a sci fi fan. But yet the mystery and suspense had kept my attention and kept me intrigued. What in the world could possibly happen next? I just could not help but to keep turning the pages to see. I wanted more, but yet still have that feeling this book is completely weird. The ending left off with such a huge cliffhanger. It can not end like that! So, here I am scrambling to get my hands on the next installment of the series.

I keep back an forth of how I want to rate Death Never Sleeps. Between three and four stars. So, I am going with three and a half stars.
