                              MY REVIEW 

  Lily and the gang are back and trying to get their belongings from Edinburgh . They are attacked by some demons and after giving them the slip they are sent on a even more dangerous quest . To find Lily's aunt Annice from the clutches of Alaire . Lily is still plagued with feelings for both Asterion and Tallis . She loves both of them and doesn't want to loose Tallis . Will their love be enough for Lily or will Asterion come between them . 

   As we left off we find Lily and the gang heading to Edinburgh , Lily is going through some changes and becoming more the girl next door and being the Herald brings on a lot more stress for her.  She is feeling the weight of all that being the herald brings with it . Tallis is feeling a little bit jealous of the growing feeling between Lily and Asterion.  Not going to tell you anymore about that cause it will spoil the book for you . We also get to see a new character Lily's aunt who has some important information on the quest they are going on . I really love these characters and love how they are evolving and growing with each book . 

  I was so excited when I started reading this book Lily and the guys are my favourite characters to read . They are complex and so well written . The author really puts them through some harrowing experiences but they come out better then ever .  The author has a way of writing that will have you laughing one moment and the next moment you will have tears in your eyes. This is the ninth book in the series but it still seems fresh and new with each quest . I will admit there were a couple of spots that I felt that dragged just a little bit but over all I loved this installment of Lily's story and can't wait to see what happens next . I would suggest you read the other books before reading this one so you will know all the characters and what is happening to Lily throughout . This would be a great series to read on the cool autumn nights . Check it out you will love it

WELCOME TO THURSDAY

 Good morning all , today I have the pleasure of introducing you to PLUCK AND COVER by JD Blackrose . 





About the Book:

It’s lipstick and lies, murder and mascara, when (unnaturally long-lived) cosmetologist to the stars Waylon Jenkins is dragged into a murder investigation by the local police captain.

Bodies are showing up with limbs missing and Captain Perkins thinks the zombie is the killer because “who else needs the spare parts?” Waylon’s a lover not a fighter but he’s forced to clear his name in Pluck & Cover with the help of a few zany friends and a couple of off-color jokes.




Excerpts:

I couldn’t find my penis. I’d last seen it on the nightstand next to my walk-in freezer, but when I emerged in the morning, it wasn’t there. I didn’t need a penis, but I’d had twenty human years with one, and I’d gotten used to it.

“Mrs. Ross? Are you here? Have you seen my penis?” “You need a new one, Waylon.” Mrs. Betsy Ross’ specter floated into my room, holding the missing appendage.

“I know, but they have to be fresh and coming upon a juicy, still-warm body is a tricksy thing. Can you please sew this one back on?”

“You don’t urinate or have sexual relations.”

I sighed. “Mrs. Ross, it is humiliating enough to ask you to connect my male member to my body, please don’t make it worse.”

“Fine.” She sniffed. “Sit on the couch.”

I followed her to the living room, placed my rear on the couch, spread my legs, and closed my eyes while one of history’s greatest seamstresses made me whole again. If I could have blushed, I would have reddened from my toes to my ears. As it was, I squirmed until she smacked me on the thigh.

“If you want this sewn on properly, you’ll stop your fidgeting.”

I held still but stared out the sliding back doors at an Evergreen Pear tree, fists clenched. The tree’s beauty distracted me, the white flowers still visible, the bees and birds swooping in and out. I was glad it was thriving in the northern exposure. I had worried it was too far west and would need more early morning sun, but it was doing well.

“There,” Mrs. Ross said, rubbing her hands together, bringing me back to the situation at hand. “I’m done, but it looks mighty sad.”

“What’s looking mighty sad?”

I hadn’t heard him come in, but Dr. Samuel Early peered over Mrs. Ross’ shoulder, extracted his reading glasses from his shirt pocket, and placed them on his nose.

“It’s too gray,” he said.

“It’s not.” I pushed them both away and closed my legs.


Praise for the Book:

"Waylon Jenkins is not your typical detective. For one thing, he’s a cosmetologist and make-up artist. For another, he’s dead. Now, this zombie with a keen wit and a warm (non-beating) heart is teaming up with a ghost and the local police captain to find out who’s killing and dismembering men in LA. “Pluck and Cover” delivers paranormal chills, plenty of twists and turns, and lots of laughs along with a one-of-a-kind protagonist readers will want to check in with again and again. " - Casey Daniels, author of “Don of the Dead” (Pepper Martin Series)

The Milan Job by Krista Cagg
Steampunk, space opera, time travel, and a rebellion turned revolution--Alexandra de Sade is a Captain that's hard to say no to...
Buy it now on Amazon: https://tinyurl.com/ybh2xekw

Meet Captain Alexandria de Sade, the proud and once loyal captain of Naviwerks chrono-ship #25. When she learned the truth about how the company was fleecing their customers she turned her back on the promotion they offered her, left the man she loved without a word, and disappeared with her ship.

With a plan in mind to undermine Naviwerks’ business of artifact and heirloom retrieval, Captain Alex hired on several like-minded misfits to crew her chrono-ship which she re-christened The William’s Hunt. They are: An awkward but genius Horotech, an irascible ex-marine, a flamboyant playboy, a churlish physician, and a hot-shot pilot.

Their first venture: go to Milan, Italy 1490 and retrieve the working model of Leonardo da Vinci’s Gran Cavallo before Naviwerks does. What should have been a simple snatch and run mission for the newly formed band of pirates goes south nearly immediately. In their struggle to recover, they learn that there is much more behind Naviwerks’ actions. Captain Alex and the crew of The William’s Hunt are the only ones that stand a chance of putting things right,and it seems as if her crew’s every step takes them deeper and deeper into discovering just how nefarious Naviwerks truly is.

About the Author:

According to her mother, Krista has lived in her own imagination since birth. The real world let her down. It was, frankly, boring beyond belief. After she discovered fantasy novels and comics there was no going back. This didn’t win her any popularity contests (or dates) until after high school. Art school introduced her to other geeks and the wonderful world of AD&D. A love for RP eventually led to LARP (the goth/vampire era of her life). Finally, sci-fi/fantasy/fandom conventions introduced her to the beautiful world of Steampunk. Music. Clothing. And books. She dove into the books she took a shine to and absorbed them. But something was missing. She wasn’t satisfied. During her recovery from neck surgery something she’d heard somewhere stuck out in her mind: “If you can’t find the stories you want to read then write them yourself.” On a couch in Savannah, GA. with Sons of Anarchy playing in the background, The William’s Hunt began.
Currently, Krista lives in her home town in Pennsylvania with five cats, a husband, and a weiner dog, Pete, who watches from the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.

    GOOD TUESDAY EVERYONE

    Good Tuesday all, its another hot day here on the farm so its a great day to sit in the sun and read . I have the book for your reading . BRIAR ( The Happily Ever after series book 5 ) by Plum Pascal .


                                BOOK BLURB 

       Book 5: BRIAR
    When Briar Rose, better known as Sleeping Beauty, wakes from a kiss, the prince isn’t the man she expects. Instead of a knight in shining armor, Prince Payne is a cursed vampire who’s responsible for killing Briar’s entire family.

    Payne is forced into kissing and waking Briar by her fairy godmother, Maura LeChance. Maura forces Payne to make the choice to wake Briar and protect her on an upcoming journey or he’ll never have his vampire curse removed.

    Once they leave the castle and embark on their mysterious journey, Briar learns she can raise the dead. Shortly after learning this, she raises not one, but two dragons, Nouille and Veseo—both as hot-blooded and sexy as they were alive.

    But Briar’s necromantic abilities come at a cost—her own life. She keeps dying and the only way to stop her from dying is to for her to bond to Payne, someone she detests. Will Briar make the choice to bond to the man who destroyed her family? And what will that mean for her two dragon suitors?

    Find out in the fifth book in the Happily Never After Series!

                         MY REVIEW 
      Welcome to Briar Rose's life , she has been asleep for over twenty years . Just waiting for her prince to come and kiss her back to life, a prince of her dreams. When the day finally comes the prince she desires is not what comes .  The prince that shows up is a cursed vampire that has a secret . When Payne and Briar meet it is hate at first sight but  her fairy god mother has other things planned . When they leave the castle and head on their mission , they realize that Briar is a necromancer and has to gain control over them . With the two dragons she raised the four of them will head into belly of the beast to raise the blue fairy and find out how to save Briar from dying every time she uses her powers . Will they all come together and realize that they all belong together . 

      Briar and Payne are such a fun couple at first they are all I hate you and I hate you . Briar is naive and just like a young child when she wakes up . She has so much to catch up on but as you read you see her grow  and become a kick butt woman. Payne well he is a bitter vampire who has a curse on him and all he wants to do is find the fairy that cursed him and become a man . He comes off arrogant and entitled at that beginning of the book and you watch him become more human as he is with Briar . You can really see a love starting to build between them . Now to add more to the mix we have Vesso and Nouille the two dragons that Briar reanimates with her powers . They are protective of Briar and both are as sexy as can be.  I love how they are with her .  I absolutely adore these characters they are so well written and complex . I love how they are all intertwined with the characters in the other books . 

        This is  the fifth book in the series and I love how the author is putting a great twist to the fairy tales . She take the female characters and makes them the heroines and they are really kicking butt . The aren't damsels in distress in this series and when they have to they really come into their own .  The author takes us on a fun filled ride of emotion and laughter . The only thing I had trouble with is that i felt the book kind of fell short in a couple of places . Over all i loved this book in the series and can't wait to see where the author takes the other five women . This would be a great series to read at the beach or by the pool . They are a great fast read . So add some heat to you late August days .
