WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU FOUND OUT ABE LINCOLN WAS STILL ALIVE
Good Thursday all , hope your week is going great . Today we are going to review a cool read I found on NetGalley. ABE LINCOLN ON ACID by Bill Walker and Brian Anthony.
BOOK BLURB
There are whispers even now that Abraham Lincoln never really died, that a voodoo spell cursed him with a terrible eternal life. It has even been claimed that he robbed banks in the 1930s with John Dillinger, only to mysteriously disappear once again into the pages of history. But the truth is even stranger than the rumors...
Watched over by a vengeful J. Edgar Hoover and held in a secret location near his old Springfield home, Lincoln re-awakens in the 1960s, and finds himself thrust into an era even more turbulent than the Depression, a time where a divisive war is once again tearing a nation apart and political intrigue and assassinations are rampant.
Escaping Hoover’s clutches with a clever bit of deception, he navigates an even more treacherous and unfamiliar terrain, finding an ally in John Voci, a young San Francisco folk-singer. Together they journey across a counter-cultural landscape, meeting those who believe a great man has returned, and striving to remain free from those who want to bury him once and for all.
Will Lincoln inspire the younger generation and save his country from its final reckoning, or will he turn on, tune in, and drop out?

HAPPY TUESDAY ALL
Happy Tuesday all , have you ever found a book that once you start , you get sucked in and when you finally put it down you are done . That's the way its was with THE BITCHES OF EVERAFTER by Barbra Annino.
BOOK BLURB
From the author of the number #1 bestselling book, OPAL FIRE, comes a brand new spellbinding trilogy inspired by fairy tale characters.
These are not the mild-mannered maidens of your childhood. These are fallen princesses and fierce women with no recollection of who they are, where they came from, or how they arrived in a mysterious town called Everafter. All they know is that they've been sentenced to a stretch in a half-way house by a malicious judge with an ax to grind. They've been stripped of their freedom, their kingdoms, and their true loves. Now, they have nothing left to lose.
Snow White is the newest parolee to arrive at Granny's House for Girls. It isn't long before she learns that her housemates harbor secrets, and that the mansion itself is a meandering enigma. She stumbles upon forbidden doorways, ghostly passages, and walls that seem to breathe. Determined to find out what’s really happening inside those old walls, Snow embarks on a dangerous discovery mission. Not everyone is thrilled about her nosing around. In fact, there are some who would kill to keep the secrets that the house—and its occupants—hold.
MY REVIEW
What do you get when you rewrite the fairy tales , you get 4 princesses that are transported to a different time and are all wiped of their memories and their magic and become convicted of various crimes . They are forced to live at Granny's house for girls where the house has seen better days. The latest resident to stop by is Snow white and she is the catalyst to bring them all together and remember the world they knew before .
This book had me in stitches I have never ever laughed so hard . The way the author wrote the princesses was so great . Cinderella as a lush who married a prince that like the boys better then the girls . Punzie aka Rapunzel as a stripper who uses her hair as a weapon. and the rest , Belle is really bad ass with her beast . Even Tinker bell is here , she is kind of a brat in this book and is working for the bad guys and she is fricken hilarious she doesn't remember who she is but knows she wants more. The best character in my opinion is Snow , she has all her aspects but she is darker and more in your face then the fairy tale will let you believe . She is going to kick some butt and keeps the girls on the straight and narrow and bring back their memories .
The author takes us on a fun filled ride , the characters are well written and complex . The story line is fun and the characters are quirky . No this isn't a ONCE UPON A TIME reboot . This story is a laugh a minute . I have never ever laughed so hard while reading a book . I actually snorted a few times . The ladies are so funny and the situations they are getting into are hilarious. This would be a great read for the beach or pool side . You will laugh until the tears start to flow . I will tell you though there is a cliff hanger at the end but you will be left wanting the second book . I can't wait till the second book comes out . It is on my list of books to buy . So if you want a fun light read check out THE BITCHES OF EVERAFTER you will not be disappointed at all .

BLURB
Camila was seventeen when Van Quiso kidnapped her. Ten years after her escape, the shackles refuse to release her. Not while there are still slave traders preying on her city
She will stop at nothing to end them.
Even if that means becoming a slave again.
Returning to chains is her worst fear—and only option. They won’t know who she is or what she intends to do. She’s prepared for every complication.
Except him
The one who decimated her sixteen-year-old heart
Matias is charming, gorgeous, and dangerously seductive. He’s also untrustworthy and enshrouded in secrets. After years of no contact, he finds her—on her knees, wrists bound, in the clutches of her enemy.
Will he sabotage her mission by needlessly saving her ?
Or will he keep her in chains and never let her go?

AUTHOR BIO
New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author, Pam Godwin, lives in the Midwest with her husband, their two children, and a foulmouthed parrot. When she ran away, she traveled fourteen countries across five continents, attended three universities, and married the vocalist of her favorite rock band.
Java, tobacco, and dark romance novels are her favorite indulgences, and might be considered more unhealthy than her aversion to sleeping, eating meat, and dolls with blinking eyes.
