Books & Looks: Real Books for Real Readers was started as a literary podcast to supplement Blaine Desantis’ website, ViewsOnBooks.com, and expand into audio and video interviews with authors.
With Books & Looks, Blaine’s goal is to focus on real books that real people will read. At least half of the books he reviews are either new authors or unknown authors that many in the general public are unaware of. After a segment reviewing books or interviewing authors, Blaine ends each episode with a discussion of the movies and TV shows he is currently watching.

This Week’s Episode
When perfectly executed suicides deliver pristine donor hearts, cardiologist-turned-novelist Cristina LePort reveals the terrifying intersection of heart transplantation and organized crime in her medical thriller Change of Heart. Host Blaine DeSantis explores how a mafia don’s cybercrime operation manipulates organ donation networks while FBI probationary agent Charlotte Bloom races to stop the conspiracy – all while hiding that her own heart is failing. Drawing from her medical expertise, LePort crafts a world where the 12-hour “heart box” technology meant to save lives becomes a sinister tool in the wrong hands. As family secrets and questions of identity emerge, the line between savior and predator blurs in modern medicine. Discover how this pulse-pounding thriller exposes vulnerabilities in our healthcare systems that could make anyone question: just how secure is the technology protecting our most vital organs – and our very identities?
