                           MY REVIEW
   Oh my I have never had so much fun reading a book. Michael takes us on a journey that will scare you and make you giggle all at the same time . I started reading this book at night and it had me jump a few times and giggle a lot more . My imagination was running amuck while reading. Just imagine if Disneyland was housing , zombies . vampires and werewolves. The creator a evil maniacal man, who wants to rule the world . That is MONSTERLAND .
  This book had me glued to its pages from the first chapter . The author takes us on a journey, into a place that scares us but also tantalizes us. He has taken and mixed the vampire , zombie and werewolf lore and placed them all in one story. He shows us another side of them. They are misunderstood and are treated unfairly.  You see them as not just the monsters, you see them as the people they were.
  You also see the friends and family dynamic in action.  There is also a deeper part of the book that shows how evil politics can be and how corrupt that it can be.  It makes you think so who truly needs to be put behind the bars the people or the werewolves, vampires and zombies .
  The characters in this book range from the sweet and innocent Jade to the epitome of evil Dr Conrad . The main character is Wyatt Baldwin and his family. Wyatt is a no nonsense kid who is having trouble with his younger brother and is love with the quarterback's girlfriend. You see him change and grow as you read , he grows up fast and becomes the hero that everyone knows he is.
The cast of characters are so complex and involved and when all thrown together in a pot are great. You see the kids become heroes and protectors and trust me you will cheer especially Melvin. He finally found out where he belonged , not going to spoil it and tell you but I was so shocked and then happy for him. You will figure it out as you read.
  This book is full of scary but it doesn't really push the gore factor. Which I enjoyed so much, I dislike books that have to rely on the gore factor to get their point across. Michael doesn't do that, he has a way of writing that fills you with suspense and scares you with out it. The book is fast paced and has some great plot twists , that will keep you reading well into the night . So if you want a great book to read on HALLOWEEN night check it out . This is a book that will scare and delight you at the same time

HAPPY TUESDAY ALL

Happy Tuesday all , hope everyone is reading some goo books this fall . Today we are reviewing
SWITCHING HOUR : Magic and Mayhem book one by Robyn Peterman.

                          BOOK BLURB

Released from the magic pokey and paroled with limited power is enough to make any witch grumpy. However, if you throw in a recently resurrected cat, a lime-green Kia and a sexy egotistical werewolf, it's enough to make a gal fly off the edge. 
Not to mention a mission...with no freaking directions.
So here I sit in Asscrack, West Virginia trying to figure out how to complete my mysterious mission before All Hallows Eve when I’ll get turned into a mortal. The animals in the area are convinced I'm the Shifter Whisperer (whatever the hell that is) and the hotter-than- asphalt-in-August werewolf thinks I'm his mate. Now apparently I'm slated to save a bunch of hairy freaks of nature?
If they think I'm the right witch for the job, they've swallowed some bad brew.

                                             MY REVIEW
Welcome to Robyn's newest paranormal phenom. Zelda a self absorbed witch, who is getting sprung from magical jail. She has to complete a mission before Halloween or the poor girl will be turned into a mortal . Which is a fate worse then death, in he opinion. So off she heads in a kia and her not so dead cat. Oh did I mention she ran over her cat. Yeah squished him good . So off to West Virginia she goes with no idea of what she is suppose to do. To beat it all she ends up being the mate of a hotter then hot werewolf and the saviour to the shifter world . What is a poor witch to do but hope for the best and hope they are so wrong .
  Oh my god I absolutely love the characters in this book. Zelda is so self absorbed , its so cool to read . She is trying to be good after being let out of jail but you can see her struggling at trying to be good. She finds herself and finds out she is a great healer to the shifters . She is zany in all ways , she is off balance and zany. She speaks her mind and is wisecracking. The best character in the book in my opinion is Fabio , the poor cat that is more then he seems . The poor cat has been run over and buried , then resurrected. He has a tendency to lick his balls in the most inopportune times and loves to steal fashion for Zelda. The cast of shifters are so funny and sweet all at the same time . They all come to care and love Zelda. Then there is Mac the hotter then hot wolf. Oh he is pantie dropping hot and wants Zelda so badly. He is the alpha of the shifter colony in Ass crack West Virginia . He is your typical alpha male . Good looks , hot body and attitude that goes with all good alpha males .  Throw them all together you have the makings for a zany cast of characters that will make you happy .
   This is a book that you want to read to put you in a great mood . They zany cast of characters will keep you reading. You will giggle and laugh out loud as you watch Zelda and the gang. I love Robyn's books , I love the way she can make you smile as you read them . She comes up with some great one liners and some great words . That I seem to use in my daily life more often then not .   Her characters are quirky , off balance and sometimes just down right rude but you will fall in love with them all . So if you like quirky stories with a paranormal twist , this is the book for you . Check out all of Robyn's books , you will laugh and laugh . I promise

HAPPY WEDNESDAY ALL ITS OUR HALLOWEEN READS DAY

Good Wednesday all , yes I know I am late today but it is time for our weekly Halloween read. Today we are going to review ZOMBIE SEED II CONCEPTION  by PM BARNES
              
                             BOOK BLURB

Things have gone horribly wrong for Al and the world as we know it.
The Alpha Project arises as a possible solution, but quickly becomes a dangerous prospect and a one way trip to hell for Al and everyone involved.

Caught in the crossfires of an ethical and moral nightmare, Al tries to maintain the few strands of sanity he has left.
With no one to turn to and so much on the line, he makes friends with another man who’s also on the edge.
When changes that neither of them fully understands, shreds the connection that they’ve built, one of them will find themselves in a heart-stopping dance with a monster.

                           MY REVIEW
 This is the second book in the ZOMBIE SEED trilogy and it shows us how it all began. Welcome to the beginning of the zombie apocalypse. The Alpha Project becomes the possible solution or could it be the signed death warrant. Welcome to Al's world  being an analyst on the project he is thrown into a hell that no one will come out the winner.
   The author takes us to the beginning of all, where it began. The lab where the top scientists are working on a serum. The two main characters Al and Martin . Al is the family man that is frustrated with his job and having nightmares. He is trying to live through what is happening as they play God.
Martin is a geek and he is mysterious to boot . He works like a machine and doesn't talk to Al at all . He has something to hide , I have a feeling there is more to him then meets the eye .  I think that he knows more about patient zero and doesn't really know how to process it. When we first meet them Martin is alone in the lab contemplating on what has happened. Al is no where to be scene . We hear banging and thumping against the door. But like in any great zombie book we do not open the door for nothing or no one. Then you are thrust into the lives of the characters and get to see how things are done from the start.
  The author thrusts us right into the middle of the outbreak. You are sucked in from the first page, the characters are so complex and you are thrown into the middle of the chaos . Trust me you will both hate and feel sorry for Al and Martin . You will see them break down and wonder what the hell they are doing working on patient zero. When you pickup this book be prepared to sit there until the book is done. You will laugh cry and shout at your kindle when you read. Just remember I warned you , sleep with the light on and you will never think of monkeys in the same way again . So I suggest that THE ZOMBIE SEED TRILOGY  should be on your Halloween reading list. You will not be disappointed because PM BARNES  takes the zombie genre to the next level.

GOOD MONDAY MORNING ALL

Good Monday everyone I hope you all had a great weekend. Today we are going to review SAVING MAGDALENA  by Shannon Condon.

                           BOOK BLURB

Now an orphan, Maggie has only one true friend to lean on—Graham Ashford. He is the only one who can help her through the depression and night terrors that follow her parents’ death.
In her junior year, the school deems her stable enough to have a roommate, and her new friend Sarah quickly draws Maggie out of her shyness and into the dating world. While at Sarah’s house for Thanksgiving, however, she meets Sarah’s older brother, Eric, and what starts as a shy crush soon turns into terror as Eric becomes obsessed and violent toward Maggie.

Eric is given a light sentence in a mental institution, and Maggie leaves everything behind and moves to her mother’s hometown of Malaga, Spain, to attend college on a music scholarship and try to find her mother’s estranged family.

                                                  MY REVIEW
  Right from the first page I was intrigued by this book. Maggie is a young lady that has been all over Europe with her parents. But tragedy strikes as she heads back to her boarding school. Her parents are killed and she is left an orphan. Her best friend Graham is there for her helping her through it all
Then Maggie gets a roommate and Sarah opens her up to so many new things like dating and having fun. Then one Thanksgiving Maggie's life alters and she becomes the deer in the headlights of Sarah's brother . A crush soon turns into  terror for Maggie a terror that Graham can't even save her from. Even traveling to Spain doesn't give enough distance between Maggie and her stalker . As she makes a life there she reconnects with her mother's family and finds true love . But will that be enough to keep her safe and alive.
    The author takes us on an adventure with Maggie , from all over Europe to Virginia back to Spain. The characters were well written and you got to watch them grow as you read . At the beginning you see Maggie as naïve young woman , who even though travelled all over Europe was still kind of naïve about things. She had to grow up fast and you start to see that as she and Sarah start hanging out. You really see her start to mature as she goes through all the hell that she went through. You see come out the other side a very strong woman, knowing what and who she is . I truly liked her and wanted to see her come out the other side stronger and wiser. The character of Graham is a likable guy who loves her as a best friend an first love. They are so sweet together and who never forgets their first love . He would do anything for Maggie and does. He protects her and listens to her . he is just a sweet all around guy. The rest of the cast of characters are so diverse and are there to help Maggie when she needs it . She can count on them to help her out when she needs it.
  Over all I really liked this book.  The characters were brilliant and the story line flowed well . But a times I felt a little disconnected with Maggie, like how she started the book with Maggie being 15 at the start and be in her twenties when she is in Spain. I just felt like wow what a jump.
 The author has us on the edge of our seats as we read, from her student years to Spain and Maggie as a spy. I want to hopefully read more about Maggie as a spy, she would be so good at it , I think.
  Over all the story is really good and will have you crying and throwing your book at a few spots. Trust me you will cry both tears of sadness and tears of joy when you read her story. You will turning pages well into the night and wondering how Maggie got through it all. And found love and family despite all the hardships and terror she went through . This is the book for you, it will give you a book hangover , trust me I know. Hope to read more from this author and soon
