Redwood Point, Northern California. Garrett Goodlove and Jen Shek are law partners. The firm began with Garrett and Jen as criminal defense attorneys. Since a pair of tragic events, Garrett’s ongoing depression changed his life perspective and his cases to family law.

Another change in Garrett’s life was estrangement from Carly, his fraternal twin sister. Estranged until Carly burst into the office and made a startling announcement in American Sign Language (ASL) about her ex, Angelo Romero. Garrett will pivot quickly to defend his sister, but can he save her from prison and isolation? Did she murder her ex? Circumstantial or conclusive evidence?

“…it only matters what the jury thinks...”

A lawyer defending a family member is not new, but the twist is the twin sister has been deaf since birth, which brings new elements in evidence and courtroom drama. The story keeps a brisk pace with well-developed characters. I’m always appreciative of legal fiction, with the primary attorney handling more than one case through the storyline. This plot also brought family drama that strengthened the interest and intrigue.

As legal thrillers are one of many favorite genres, I’m delighted to find an author new to me. I won’t hesitate to read more of this series.… (mais)

Before we get started *I received this book for free for a fair and honest review* I've been wanting to read more sci-fi lately especially since reading Leviathan Wakes but I didn't just want to rush into the next book in the series. The Universe Next Door seemed perfect

I know this is the third book in the Jake Corby series and I usually like to read the other books before just diving in, however it said this was a stand alone and I didn't need to read the other two to understand this one. I kinda wish I did though. from the very beginning I felt like I was missing an important information. I would have loved to like to book. The world is very thought out, Macy is very good at describing the world around Jake, I also really like the alien (other dimensional?) species, but I still just couldn't get into it.

If you are a avid sci-fi fan then look into the first book Contact Us. Macy did mentioned actions that happened in his other books that I had no idea about, although he did explain what happened I really wished I read the other ones. Also let me just say that theres' a dog in this and well.. yea. I don't want to give anything away but the entire time I was wondering how Jake didn't just fall apart.… (mais)
