WELCOME TO THURSDAY

  Good afternoon all today I have a new book for you from our resident zombie writer Mike Evans and his new series VACATION FROM HELL ( An Apocalyptic Zombie Survival Series )


                            BOOK BLURB 



   A bad day off is better than a good day at work. At least that's what Seth thought until his dream vacation of visiting a civil war battleground came to life. Unfortunately, the dead soldiers that had been lying in peace had a hundred-year hunger to feed. Follow Seth and his family to see if they can escape the dead.


                        MY REVIEW 

  Well all Seth wanted was a great vacation with his family . Until the moment they went to a Civil War battleground . That is when for lack of a better word all hell breaks loose . They start coming back to life and they are hungry , I mean really hungry . All they want is brains and they are coming for anyone on the battle field . Now Seth and his family have to trust Earl to help get them out and someplace safe before the world is destroyed . 

  The characters are well written and when you see them you will be thinking yep that is my family on vacation . Seth is a father who just wants to have a good time but his family well they are your typical family who doesn't want to do anything on holiday .  We see them start off as your typical family with problems but once they are fighting for their lives you see them start to become more complex and they become a team that will fight together 

  This is a new series for the author and I really enjoy his zombie books . This is no exception you get to see how people react to unforeseen things that can happen when people are pushed to their breaking point . The only thing that had me not giving it a five stars I just felt at the beginning it kind of dragged a bit but once you meet the zombies the action really picks up and has you on the edge of your seat . Over all I truly enjoyed this book so if you want a good zombie book for your winter reading list check it out .

WELCOME TO WEDNESDAY ALL

 Good Wednesday all hope everyone is doing ok and surviving this Christmas season . Today I have a brand new series for you from two of my favourite authors J.R Rain and H.P Mallory . GRUDGES (Dungeon Raider book one )


                             BOOK BLURB 



  The Forge...

It’s not a place that gives anyone the warm and fuzzies.
No, The Forge is a dungeon mine that used to be home to the Deep Mountain Clan of dwarves. Then the orcs took control of it and forced the dwarves out.
Now it’s a death sentence to any who try to voyage into its dark depths.
That’s where I come in.
No, I’m not some sort of soldier or mercenary trying to set things right.
I’m a thief.
And I’ve plundered many dungeons—enough to have earned a reputation for myself.
I’m good at what I do and that’s the exact reason why I’ve been hired by holy knight, Cade, to take him into the bowels of The Forge.
Cade was entrusted by his higher-up to retrieve a holy scroll, located in the belly of The Forge.
The only problem (aside from the territorial orcs, the nightmarish beasts that roam the tunnels and shafts, and the fact that no one has ever reached the final level of The Forge) is…
My ex-boyfriend, Aram.
Right.
So, this isn’t one of my prouder moments, but a long time ago, Aram and I were together. Then I stole something precious from him and he’s been after me ever since.
Well, you know what they say about karma…
My karma finally caught up to me when Aram staged a setup and I fell for the bait.
Imagine Aram’s irritation when he finally gets the chance to arrest me, but then Cade shows up with this quest. Even though Aram is a Justiciar, an enforcer of the law, Cade’s rank trumps Aram’s which means Cade’s word goes.
And Cade wants me to lead this expedition.
As I see it, I have two choices: rot inside a jail cell for the rest of my life or take my chances in The Forge, with the potential to earn my freedom.
I choose The Forge.
After all, I’m always up for an adventure.


                          MY REVIEW 
   Rogue is a thief and a good thief , when someone comes back from her past she is almost caught. Her ex has her in his sights when Cade comes in and trumps everything and wants Rogue to go on a quest in the Forge . Rogue has two choices go to jail or lead them into the depths of the Forge and maybe earn her freedom . 

  This story has it all adventure , great characters oh and Orcs . Rogue is a very resilient young woman . She will keep you on your toes through out the book . She is tough but also can be very sweet . She just wants to survive and earn her freedom . I truly liked the characters all from Rogue to Cade they are well written and complex I can't just pick one to like . Rogue is strong and you will love her . 

  This story is a real departure for one of the authors but they both can write a good story with great characters. It is the start of an epic fantasy that has a lot of potential . I honestly did find it a little hard at the beginning to get into the story , I did feel a little disconnect until about chapter 3 and then the story really took off for me . Once I connected with Rogue I couldn't put the book down. I found myself cheering for them and sitting on the edge of my seat through out the book. Over all I really did enjoy this book and I can't wait to see where the authors take the characters in book two . So if you want a good fantasy book to get lost in this Christmas season check it out

HAPPY RELEASE DAY MARIANNE MOREA

  Good afternoon all today I have a brand new Christmas book for you by Marianne Morea . A LITTLE MISTLETOE AND MAGIC . Its only out for Christmas 


                             BOOK BLURB 



 

                                  ♥ Just when you thought fate was done with you ♥

Done with grieving the loss of her family, Jenny Mitchell is looking for a fresh start. Life as she knew it is over, but what waits for her in the town of Whisper Falls is more than just quaint charm and an Inn no one wanted. Her near death experience awakens senses she didn't know she possessed. Senses that both scare and fascinate her, especially when they bring her face to face with a sexy, supernatural truth that spells more than just second chance romance. Sparks fly under the mistletoe, and there's no escaping the magic of the season, or the cougar shifter destined to help her through the darkness and mend her broken heart, in this modern twist on a holiday classic.  


                         MY REVIEW 
   After a terrible accident and the loss of her husband and daughters . Jenny Mitchell is ready for a new start . What waits for her in Whispering Falls is something Jenny doesn't know if she can handle it . After her near death experience she is able to feel things and see things . Now with the sexy new handy man that has invaded her space , a new best friend that is more then she seems . Will Jenny be able to forgive herself or will all be lost on Christmas eve . Will her past destroy her future . 

  This story has a Christmas Carol vibe to it . The characters are well written and you will love them. Jenny is a woman who has been hurt and is grieving for 3 years , you really just want to hug her but like all things in a good heroine she is stronger then she seems. She is a fighter but sometimes she is confused on what and who she is fighting for . Jack well he is the handy man and boy what a handyman he is . He is tall, dark and oh so handsome and very in tuned with Jenny .  He is also hiding a secret but its a good secret that helps save Jenny in the end .  Tess is a sweetheart and you will love her once you meet her . She is like a breath of fresh air and also she is more then she seems . These characters are so much fun to read and you will love them oh and then there is kitto and you will meet him at Whispering Falls . 

 This story is a like a modern retelling of a Christmas Carol, the author put a fun new twist and also a paranormal twist . The characters are well written and complex . You will be laughing and maybe shed a tear or two as you read through out .The author also puts some native traditions that will have you reading faster. This is a fun fast Christmas read that you can read in an evening with a nice glass of wine . You will love the characters and the story is a fun read . I truly like this author's way of writing she takes us on a fun filled ride . This story is only here for Christmas so if you want it , get it before its gone . You will not be disappointed .

ITS FUN AND FRIDAY

 Good morning all its Friday and I have a fun read for you today . Its the second book in the Lucy Westenra series . Here is  GALLANT GHOST AND GHASTLY GENTLEMEN  by Hp Mallory and J.R Rain .


                             BOOK BLURB 



    So, that saying that goes: ‘when it rains, it pours’… yeah, it’s pretty much spot on. Not that I ever really had good luck, but I’m not sure how much worse my luck could get…

For the first time in a really looooong time, I’ve got a boyfriend—Dr. Henry Jekyll. And he’s everything you’d want a boyfriend to be—charming, sweet, loyal. Only problem is, I can’t be left alone with him.

Yeah, you heard that right. Ever since I agreed to becoming a full-time employee of the Holmwood Association (that apprehends monsters), I’m being kept under lock and key. If I’m allowed outside the compound, it has to be with a chaperone—all owing to the fact that I’m half-vampire.

But here’s the part where my luck takes a serious plunge… while on a date with Henry (and Simone—our chaperone), I notice a shadow lurking just outside the opera house. Thinking it’s none other than the bane of my existence—Dracula, himself—I follow it. And I nearly get killed by a collapsing parapet of bricks.

That’s when I realize this isn’t the work of Dracula, because Vlad would never kill me—not when he wants me to return to him forever (ahem, over my undead body).

Meanwhile, numerous people around Sacramento are spontaneously combusting and the finger seems to be pointing at Morfran—a demon who grants favors. Yet, when I start to investigate, I realize Morfran is involved, yes, but only in so much as he’s being targeted. Also targeted are all his clients who bear his mark… and guess who’s included in that esteemed crowd?

Yep, you guessed it.

Now, I’ve got to hurry up and figure out whodunit before I become another spontaneously combusting victim.

                      MY REVIEW 
  Lucy well she is having a time she is basically under lockdown and she finally has a boyfriend .    Dr. Henry Jekyll and she can't even see him . While she is trying to see her man there are people spontaneously combusting all over town. People are pointing at Morfran  a demon who grants favors .  Will Lucy find out who is responsible for all this or will she be the next one to self combust . 

    Well what has Lucy gotten herself into this book . She is trying her damnest to have normal life. She is fighting to have a normal life . I love her she is such a strong woman and is trying to live a normal life . Her vampire side is fighting to come out and is playing havoc especially when Vlad Dracula is around . She is strong willed and determined to figure everything out .  I love this character and her counter parts. 

  This writing duo is amazing as a writing team each author brings a great addition to the story .They have such great ideas on how to bring the characters alive . This book is a fun read that will keep you entertained . The story moves fast and you will get caught up in the characters . This is the second book in the series and the characters are getting more and more complex  Check out the series and be prepared for a fast paced fun filled read .  So if you want a fun filled read check them out .
