GOOD MORNING PEEPS

  Well it was spring outside but today I woke up to snow falling on the farm. I like the moisture but I donot like the white stuff . It is a good day to stay indoors and read some good books . Today I have for you book 3 in the Villians of Kassel . FEAST OF THE FALLEN by Lydia Miceals . 


                             BOOK BLURB



             They call it a game. But games have rules, and mine were written in blood.

I was starving when I applied to The Feast of the Fallen—a twisted hunt where the world’s most elite billionaires pay millions to chase women like me through a gilded labyrinth until dawn.

One million dollars just to play. Two million if I'm caught.

I told myself I'd run, hide, and take the money–unharmed–so I could finally escape the poverty that's been choking me my entire life.

But I didn't count on him.

Jack Thorne, the phantom host, who built an empire from ash and blood, watched from the shadows while men hunted like monsters in a storm of his own creation. But when a reckless guest breaks his rules and goes too far, Jack steps out of the darkness, revealing himself as the most dangerous player of all–one who looks like a savior but will stop at nothing for revenge.

Jack doesn't negotiate with giants. He watches them gorge themselves on power until their true nature spills out. Then he brings the axe.

                          MY REVIEW 
 Daisy is doing everything to survive , she has been working the same job since her mother and her were working together. Then her mother dies and she is stuck feeling so alone . Until the day she is presented a way of getting out of her predicament . One night of being hunted by billionaires who want to dominate her and take her. She is trying to figure everything out and just wants to get through the night. Then Jack Thorne walks in , the phantom host of this night . He is powerful and honestly the most cunning . When Daisy breaks the rules it is time for him to step in and deal with her but will he be able to let the delicate flower go after he has her in his life.

   This is a very intense book Daisy and Jack have been through sooooo much. Daisy is as innocent as innocent can get . She is sweet and kind but is also really naive when it comes to the ways of the world . Underneath it all though she is a fighter and has a spine of steel when it comes to protecting herself . Jack is well he has had such a hard life , he was sold to a the age of 6 to a man with money . He was tortured and abused for most of his life . He only knew pain for the longest time until he finally gets away and finds the caring and love with an older woman of the night . Then Jack finally knows what it means to have a caring person to lean on. As they have grown up you see the scars of their past deeply embedded into their souls . Such emotional characters that you will love to hate . 

  This is one of  those books where honestly people can tell you about but you really aren't ready for the emotions that will bubble up as you read.  The characters are so well written and complex . You know you will love them and want to wrap them up in warm blankets and give them hot chocolate and tell them that everything will be ok. The author really does write some twisted stories . She puts her characters into situations that will break most people . I have actually shed a few tears through out this book. This is one of those books that will have you up all night and have you thinking about why it happened all night long . This can be read as a stand alone but be prepared for the triggers that might not bring up some feelings .

GOOD ATERNOON PEEPS

   WOOHOOOO this is the last book of my reader round up. Today I have book 6 in the Temporal Armistice series . THE PACIFIST'S DOOM by Matthew S Cox .


                             BOOK BLURB



 A desperate stranger dumping a dangerous magical weapon in Brooklyn’s lap isn’t the end of the world—it’s merely going to kill every living thing on the planet.

The world itself will be just fine.

This isn’t the kind of apocalypse she signed up for. Her idea of saving the world is much less do nothing at all. If she doesn’t destroy it, that counts as saving it, right? Alas, the ancient artifact isn’t very patient. The clock is ticking and it’s going to make her miss some serious couch time.

Problem is, the doomsday device doesn’t want to be stopped. It keeps slipping away from her. Even if she does manage to get her hands on it, the Philadelphia Fire Department hasn’t exactly trained her how to disarm ancient magical weapons of mass destruction. She’s going to have to improvise. What could possibly go wrong?

                         MY REVIEW 
  Brooklyn is at again, she is hanging out with Pandora and honestly really not doing anything. Until the day a stranger dumps a magical orb that is going to destroy every living thing. The clock is ticking and the orb is not taking any names . It keeps slipping away from her cause it doesn't want to be stopped and if she does get it in her hands she doesn't really know how to stop it. So improvising it is , I mean what could go wrong. 

    Brooklynn is proving to be such a fun read. She is the best of both worlds a couch potato who would love just having lazy days at home to the firefighter helping out fight the fires that are springing up around Philli. She even finds a baby dragon that was setting fires in a restaurant. . Pandora is a great combination of Brooklyn. She is sassy and sweet and always trying not to get into trouble . They both love their friends with a passion. And really don't want to start the end of the world . We also get to see more of Brooklyn's mom and dad in this one. This is a family that you want to read and get to know. 
  
  This is such a fun read , Brooklynn and the gang are back and stronger and funnier than ever. This author has such a great grasp on each character that makes them complex . The worlds he paints are so much fun and you get sucked in so fast . I mean we have magical beings popping up all over Philadelphia like babe dragons in the ovens and so many more.. This whole series will have you laughing and turning pages all night . Check it out you will love this series .

GOOD AFTERNOON PEEPS

   Good afternoon peeps we are getting closer and closer to the end of reader roundup. This afternoon I have for you book 4 in the Burnt Ends cozy mystery series . SEARED REVENGE  by Erica J Whelton.


                             BOOK BLURB



 When the annual Hill Country Thunder Rally brings three thousand bikers to Prairie Rose, Jackie Prescott and Lauren Benoit are ready to serve the biggest crowd Charlie Joe's BBQ Shack has ever seen. But the rumble of engines soon turns deadly when a body is discovered at the Iron Wolves campsite, and the murder is just the beginning.

As rival motorcycle clubs point fingers and old feuds resurface, a second victim falls. Then a third. The killings are connected to a disbanded club called the Lone Road Riders, whose treasurer vanished three years ago with $47,000 in stolen funds. Now someone is eliminating everyone who knows the truth about what really happened.

With the FBI descending on their small town and the killer still among the rally crowd, Jackie, Lauren, and Melody must navigate a dangerous web of embezzlement, faked deaths, and bitter revenge. Complicating matters, their estranged mother Dawn has arrived on their doorstep with nothing but a small suitcase, humbled and seeking a second chance. The sisters cautiously put her to work at the restaurant, where Dawn proves surprisingly capable, though her old habits around attractive men threaten to cause problems with the motorcycle clubs.

The rally coordinator is hiding his identity. A terrified witness holds explosive secrets. And threatening messages make clear that asking questions could be fatal.

As the sisters dig deeper into the past, they discover that some debts can never be repaid and some secrets are worth killing to protect. When the final confrontation comes, the family will need all their courage to survive a killer who's been planning revenge for three years.

In Prairie Rose, the road to justice is paved with smoke, secrets, and the ghosts of crimes that refuse to stay buried.

                          MY REVIEW 
  The ladies are back and busier than ever , the big biker rally is only a few days away and the gang are working 24/7 getting ready and testing recipes for the breakfast burritos. Everything is going good there have been a few mishaps when the bikers get there. Like an over flirty mother oh and murder of three bikers that have happened around the campground and well by the dumpsters at Charlies restaurant. The gang need to keep a sharp eye out and survive the week . All good plans always come with a side of crazy family. .  There is also a romance blooming between Police chief Ray and Lauren which is so sweet.
      The ladies are back and having the best time ever working together. Jackie is still keeping everything together and Lauren is working hard and they are living the dream Melody is in school and thriving . We have Dawn thrown into the mix , she is well lets say she is trying some days are better than others but over all she is trying. . We also get to meet some very fun bikes that are all sweet and caring . I truly love these characters are like coming home by this time. Each of them is like a member of the family . 
   This is the fourth book in the series and I really liked a lot.  There is a lot that is going on and when you figure out you will be like oh wow how did the author do that. This is a fun cozy mystery that does pack a lot into it.  You know things continuously change but also stay the same . Every member of town is there to help you out when you need the help. So grab a sweet tea and snuggle down for a fun read .
