Definition of "Thriller Genre": The thriller genre is very broad and can be difficult to define. However, the focus of a thriller ebook is typically on action, danger and suspense. The genre can be broken into an almost infinite number of sub-genres, including action thrillers (think Clive Cussler ebooks), romance thrillers, psychological thrillers (think Psycho by Hitchcock), science fiction thrillers, and spy thrillers, just to name a few. Common elements can include car chases, gun shoot outs, explosions, or in the case of psychological thrillers, the elements of danger can be related to the mental manipulation of characters by other characters. It is an expansive genre, and one of the most popular at eBookHounds.
Some examples of the best thriller authors and ebooks of all time: Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code), Robert Ludlum (The Bourne Identity), Michael Crichton (The Andromeda Strain), John Grisham (Time to Kill), John D. MacDonald (Cape Fear); James Patterson (Kiss the Girls). As you can see, ebooks in the thriller category vary widely in their substance, and the sub-genres can almost be considered genres of their own!
"Unpredictable, brilliantly crafted and deliriously unhinged, we can't get enough of Ashes in Venice, and you won't either." -BestThrillers.com
A heartless psychopath with size 16 shoes, nursing home hookers and an irreverent Las Vegas homicide detective with a gambling habit set the tone for this off-beat tale of revenge and retribution.
Blackjack addict Frank Savic is deeply in debt and facing family problems when he's asked to delay his retirement to catch a vigilante killer who murders other murderers in a manner the veteran cop has never seen.
While dead bodies stack up in quick succession, the motorcycle-riding policeman also finds himself reluctantly involved with a desperate mother who will do anything to get justice for her dead son.
Savic, his investigation complicated by a suspected FBI coverup and a prison bribery scandal, is unaware that the murderer might be the solution to his own financial and domestic dilemma.
Add a vengeful killer who seeks justice for his own unbearable loss and you have a teasing psychological thriller that blurs the line between good and evil and where surgical bone saws and spiders are just tools of the trade.
Yes, there are spiders.

Angela returns to Earth to search for and find the last two members of a group called the Ring.

In the year 2082, the neon-lit city of Los Angeles is home to the largest community of witches and warlocks in the world.
Death by one of them is also the leading cause of death among those in the LAPD.
Estrella Rodriguez just got transferred to the LAPD. She wasn’t pleased to learn about it.
As a cyborg witch, augmented with state-of-the-art cyberware, Estrella commands a horde of nanites to bend the world to her will. And sometimes bend the laws of physics.
Her first day on the job takes a bizarre turn when she stumbles upon several witch kidnappings. She has no idea who’s responsible and why.
A hacker named Ray holds the answers, so does a telepathic black op operative looking to collect Ray’s head, and a flirtatious witch hoping to distract Estrella with her smiles and charm.
There’s something weird brewing, something the corporations want, and the kidnapped witches are just the start of it.
If Estrella can’t get to Ray, and the truth he holds on time, then the streets of Los Angeles will get really violent, real quick …
