Reviews for Borderland Mysteries
“A sinister plot comes to light in the desolate borderlands, accusing the desperate when pure evil is at work. The setting of this unthinkable setup unearths a powerful force with a panicked, hate-filled mind whose only goal is to keep the truth hidden, and will keep you turning the pages. If you’re looking to get lost in a book, this is a new go-to author who doesn’t disappoint!”
– Bryan Roberts, Author of The Savage Saga—Volumes 1-3
“The mystery commences immediately with an eerie crash on a lonely road, and in comes a group of characters I will never forget led by U.S. Federal Marshal Gabe Zamora. Alex Ranslow is a delightful member of this team and a great character for the LGBTQ community to cheer! Sam DeSilva is the IT extraordinaire, and Cyn Beauvoir, ex-CIA rounds out this incredible team. When the group find themselves embroiled in this mystery on the Texas border, the marshals have to face-off with sinister minds in order to bring justice to the deceased. A unique, exciting mystery series that hits on all cylinders. 5-Stars!”
– The Feathered Quill
“Accident or cold-blooded murder? BJ Taylor spins a mysterious tale, while introducing us to a unique quartet of crime fighter/U.S. Marshals, who will hopefully live on in many more stories to come from this multi-talented writer. Prepare to read in one sitting!”
– Mark M. Bello, Bestselling author of The Zachary Taylor Legal Thrillers.
“This is a fantastic puzzle from start to finish! Revenge, power, vigilantes, corrupt law officials and agencies – this story begins with an explosion and ends with one too. I cannot wait to see what Book #2 has in store for this U.S. Marshal team.”
– Reader Views
“A book for modern times enlightening people about the Mexico/US border through thrilling fiction. My ‘favorite’ U.S. Marshall Alex Ranslow and his native instincts to sense what goes on along the border before it occurs; he excites the reader. This book truly opens peoples’ eyes to genuine issues and is one of the most intriguing mysteries I’ve ever read.”
– Robert Wilson, Author/Podcaster/Cowboy Wisdom Enterprises
Praise from:
“All I want to scream out is Hallelujah! I’ve found the new, best thriller series out there!...this story makes you dream, cry, have faith and, more than anything, want to read the next title!”
— Iris Token, Author
“BJ Taylor is an expert on the borderlands between Texas and Mexico…BJ Taylor…proves that she knows exactly how to weave a tale that includes death, espionage, revenge, and so much more in an area many of us barely know about. She has opened my eyes to the borderlands, and I cannot wait to see what she comes up with next!”
— Mark M. Bello, Bestselling author of The Zachary Taylor Legal Thrillers
“…the social, cultural, and in-depth look into the U.S. Federal Marshals, through the eyes of this team that the author cleverly created all came together perfectly. The action is fast, the plots are all thorough – even the education I got regarding the Borderlands of the U.S. was incredible!...I am hooked”
— David A. Barrante, Recommended Reviewer
“B.J. Taylor…surprised me… (She is)bringing…the coolest team of federal marshals you will
ever meet. I (am) transported to the ‘rough’ area, so to speak, of the Mexico/Texas line where a mystery unfolded that was unfathomable! I love the characters of Alex, who is the best I’ve seen in a long time (a shaman with almost magical gifts that represents the LGBTQ community perfectly); and Gabe, the leader of the team (a woman I want to be best friends with and take out for a cup of coffee in order to hear all her extraordinary tales) are back and even better than ever, if possible. If you haven’t started reading this series yet – do so right now! You have three already to enjoy and (hopefully) more on the way.”
— Amber Vonda, Bestselling Author of The Family Crystals series and gold medal winner of the “The Book Fest Awards.”
“I write about Hell, fantasy characters like Medusa, dragons, and such because that ‘type’ of world is my first love. But because of this debut author, B.J. Taylor, there’s a new part of me that’s come to the surface that wants to be a part of the crime and punishment that happens on our own country’s border with Mexico. I’m not even sure what’s fact and what’s fiction, considering how detailed this plot and these scenes are. I only wish they were longer. ‘Reservoir’ definitely gets 5-stars from me!"
— David Agredano, Bestseller of “The Demon’s Summons”
“This was a quick read...the book sucked me right in and even made me cry, but I won’t tell you when and spoil it for you. Looking forward to more work from this author!”
— Charlene Rogers, Recommended Reviewer
“I couldn’t wait! I dove into Book 2 headfirst and did not come up for air. Requiem was not only an amazing tale; I believe I have fallen in love with these characters. I need this series to continue!”
— Charlene Rogers, Recommended Reviewer
“The cast is …the best crime-solving quartet in the business!!!”
— Reader Views
"Follow this U.S. Federal Marshal team through the dark and evil world of crime in the Borderlands, and you will never look back. In fact, I want more. The characters, in only three books written now, I have come to love. From the geeky IT guy to the ex-CIA spy who I would hate to meet in a dark alley; from the handsome shaman with a big heart, mystical gifts and a very funny boyfriend, to a leader named Gabriella who I wish I could work for – this quartet is one that will make your ‘favorite’ list!

“I sat down…and read…without taking a break.”
— Teatime with Gee
“If all indie books were as good as this series, there would be no need for any big houses. This author weaves the perfect crime together with the perfect U.S. Marshall team to solve it. A serial killer is in our midst in this one, and it is one title you do NOT want to miss!”
— The Feathered Quill
“…BJ Taylor’s riveting…Borderland Mysteries (are) a fantastic crime fiction series portrayed in a unique format.
Requiem is a suspenseful mystery novel that will draw readers in from the start. Diversity, culture, family, and strange enigmas are key elements in this stunning book. This is a thrilling crime adventure with a compelling plot that deals with friendship and morals; perfectly balancing the good and the bad of humanity.
— Literary Titan Book Award
“This is a powerful book with a serious, incredibly written plot that brings in all the rough-and- tumble escapades of Mexican cartels, federal marshals, and crime to the nth degree. B.J. Taylor made me a suspense enthusiast.”
— Ellen Feld, The Feathered Quill
