What in the Sam Hill?

The sun is peeking over the trees. It is time for Nancy and Scary Sherry to make their escape.

They begin tunneling through the long grass, keeping the fence in sight. The corner should not be far. “I see it!” Nancy whispers, “What in the Sam Hill is that?” Luck is with them. A huge mound stands in the corner. They can use it to climb over the fence.

But wait! Oh, no. It’s a fire ant mound. If you have ever been bitten by a fire ant, you know how bad this is. They like to swarm as a group, releasing a chemical to signal each other to attack.

Scary Sherry whispers to Nancy, ” Be very quiet and walk softly. Vibrations will bring them swarming out.”

After thinking for a while, Scary Sherry comes up with a plan. If they are to use the mound to escape, they are going to have to get rid of the fire ants. They will flood them out.

They make their way carefully to the watering hole – my pool. Scary Sherry warns Nancy to stand to the side and uses her knife to release the water. The water comes pouring out, rushing towards the fire ant mound.

It worked perfectly! The fire ants are gone and Scary Sherry and Nancy waste no time scrambling up the mound and jumping over the fence.

All that is left is for them to follow the fence until they find the front gate. Then they will be safely home.

Now What?

Underworld/Book 2 of the Dark Passage: Chosen series is coming soon!

Michele Woolley is writing feverishly to get Underworld, Book 2 of the Dark Passage:Chosen series finished. I know many of you are as anxious as I am to continue reading this series.

Here is a description written by M.L. Woolley on Goodreads.

Underworld

Peel back what we know as reality and there is an unseen world that is just waiting for you to enter. The way through the veil has been closed for many centuries but the terrors of war have unleashed great evil and the two worlds are merging. There are a chosen few who will walk the way of the dead and discover the secrets that are hidden deep within. Weapons of mass destruction are released on society as world leaders face off to establish a one world government.

Ivy and Jen are forewarned of the events to come and are hidden away in an underground bunker when chaos erupts.  While they wait for word of when they are to come out of hiding, they explore the ancient caverns below the old house. They stumble upon the Book Of Prophesy and learn that they are to embark on a journey through the underworld to find the hidden location of the Tree Of Life that holds the secret of releasing the world from the evil that has overtaken it. In the process of finding the tree they discover the terrible secrets of the underworld. Nothing is as it seems, and they must find the answers or risk eternity on the Darkside; beyond the veil of humanity.

One of the girls learns she has a powerful connection to this realm and faces the decision of embracing her humanity or accepting her rightful place in this world.

I don’t know about you, but I’m hooked. This sounds much more intense.

It looks like the most popular book was Lies Beneath. Several others were a close second, so I put the titles in a bowl and drew one out. Wormwood is the other book to read and review. To see the original post and book line-up: http://wp.me/p27ipo-aO

To decide which one to read first, I took Emaginette’s suggestion and drew one out of a bowl.

The first one up is Wormwood and I am tearing through it. It opens with a huge event and never really slows down. Can’t wait to tell you all about it!

 

Synopsis from Goodreads

Against a devastated landscape, a legion of one hundred fierce half-angels is hell-bent on purging Earth of all humans. But one of them, the tormented Tiamat, struggles against his mission, and when he rescues a beautiful woman named Kali, he finds the attraction as troubling as it is miraculous. Can Kali trust the one creature who could be responsible for her ultimate demise?

Beautifully written and excitingly told, Wormwood creates a world that is as strange as it is compelling. Filled with brilliantly executed twists and turns on every page that are guaranteed to keep you guessing, Wormwood is one of the most exciting debuts of the year.

Next up for review is Lies Beneath. I started this one once before, but had to set it aside to catch up on other things that were pressing. It has haunted me ever since.

Synopsis from Goodreads

Calder White lives in the cold, clear waters of Lake Superior, the only brother in a family of murderous mermaids. To survive, Calder and his sisters prey on humans, killing them to absorb their energy. But this summer the underwater clan targets Jason Hancock out of pure revenge. They blame Hancock for their mother’s death and have been waiting a long time for him to return to his family’s homestead on the lake.

Hancock has a fear of water, so to lure him in, Calder sets out to seduce Hancock’s daughter, Lily. Easy enough – especially as Calder has a lot of practice using his irresistible good looks and charm on unsuspecting girls. Only this time Calder screws everything up: he falls for Lily – just as Lily starts to suspect that there’s more to the monsters-in-the-lake legends than she ever imagined. And just as his sisters are losing patience with him.

Both of these books hooked me in the first couple of paragraphs and I can tell you already that the writing is brilliant! I’ll be back with my reviews soon! Stay tuned.
