I am open to suggestions, I will add more books as I figure some out. I need to find a book set in Reno, NV and I need a book by an author with initial SO.

Stewart O'Nan could be an idea for the author with SO. I don't know about his books but the ratings are ok, so maybe you'll find something interesting.

The Lazarus Prophecy seems interesting, your opinion on it would help me to decide if I'll add it to my to read list or not ;)

I really enjoyed the Lazarus Prophecy. It kept me entertained throughout the whole book. I would definitely recommend it.

Ok, thanks, I added it :)

Great! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
