- George A. Bernstein, now living in south Florida, is the retired President of a modest, publicly held appliance manufacturer. He spent years attending writing seminars and conferences, learning to polish his work and developing a strong “voice.” George is acclaimed by his peers as a superb wordsmith and a crafter of surprise endings no one expects. He works with professional editors to ensure his novels meet his own rigorous standards, and all of his books are currently published by small indie press, GnD Publishing LLC, in which he has an interest.
"Sniper" is the fifth of his Detective Al Warner Suspense series, with the first four; "Death’s Angel;" "Born to Die;" "The Prom Dress Killer;" and "White Death" all garnering rave reviews. His Detective Al Warner has attracted many fans, with readers likening Warner to James Patterson’s Alex Cross.
Bernstein’s first novel, "Trapped," was a winner in a small Indie publisher’s “Next Great American Novel” contest, and received high praise, gaining many mostly 5-star reviews, reaching “Top 100” status. His second novel, "A 3rd Time to Die" (A paranormal Romantic Suspense) has also garnered mostly 5-Star & 4-Star reviews, with one reader likening him to the best, less “spooky” works of Dean Koontz & Stephen King.
Bernstein is also a “World-class” fly-fisherman, setting a baker’s dozen IGFA World Records, mostly on fly-rods. He’s written the popular "Toothy Critters Love Flies" (http://pikeflyguy.com), the complete book on fly-fishing for pike & musky.

Did the book end the way you expected? Yes, what I thought was a little different than the ending but very similar.
Top 3 things I liked about the whole book – The characters (actions), honestly felt like I was watching some movie on Lifetime; The length was perfect. The story moved along nicely and did not feel rushed; The writing style with no editing/grammar errors. So nice to find a book/author that takes pride in their work.
Top 3 things I liked about the main character – Jackee never give up hope. Her determination for everyone to see the bad person for what he is. Her desire to help others, the little things mentoring youth, paying for someone college, helping someone obtain a green card.
Top 3 things I liked about the setting in this book – It was different. Nice to know some authors do not think zombies and vampires are part of a story. The author did not provide a city/state/country. I can picture this happening anywhere in the world. Yes, there is reference to the USA but it does not fully state that. The suspense/mystery on how the would-be killer will strike next.

What are some of the book’s themes? Romance, history and reincarnation. This story is so well-written that anyone who picks it up will be impressed with the Bernstein’s writing style and research. Every detail in this book has been researched and polished so the characters and their respective situations are believable and gripping.
Did the book end the way you expected? The combination of different centuries and the hint of paranormal will play mind tricks with you and you’ll guess so many different endings. One of the endings I guessed did come to pass and I cannot recommend this book enough for the way it is written.
What I liked about the whole book – This book is fun, emotional, heart warming and you won’t want to put it down until you get to the last page. Despite the different lives the main characters lead there is no awkward jumping so the reader stays entertained and intrigued.

What I liked about the main character - You have met a lover from your past life. You want to fall in love again and you are but you are married and conflicted about cheating on your spouse. Ashley and Craig are in the same ‘pot’ so to speak. Minus the past life element, their actions and reactions about whether they should be together were believable and engaging.
How did the pacing feel? The pacing was consistent and I liked that about the book. It didn’t slow down for no reason or suddenly switch gears. Ashley and Craig are strong but also vulnerable and every time they feel sad, confused or conflicted, the pacing of the story fits with their emotions.
What did you think about the dialogue? The balance was good. The characters voice out what they are thinking but the reader is not pulled away from the main plot or settings of the story. The different time periods took a bit of convincing but as the story progresses you get used to it and want to keep turning the pages.
