Dusk of Humanity
The Decay of Humanity Series: Book 1
by M.K. Dawn
Genre: SciFi Thriller, Horror 
 
An asteroid brought about the destruction of the world…in a way no one
thought possible.
After the death of her parents, Sloan Egan left their Montana ranch
determined to make a difference in the world. Now a prominent surgeon
with an exceptional career in her future, life has turned out exactly
as she expected. Until a government summons arrives with an order to
report to Fort Hood for a top-secret weekend retreat.
Major Lee Archer’s reassignment as head of military operations at The
Bunker felt more like a prison sentence than a promotion. To make
matters worse, he’s been assigned to babysitting detail, as a group
of the country’s most brilliant young minds come together to test
the vitality of the cutting-edge fallout shelter he commands.
But the retreat was nothing more than a ploy. One devised to safeguard
the future of humanity, as a catastrophic event renders the world
above uninhabitable.
Or so they’ve been led to believe.
Those in charge have a secret. One so horrifying they would do anything to
keep it concealed. Because what lurks beyond The Bunker is deadlier
than anyone could have ever imagined.
And it’s only a matter of time before it finds a way in.
 
 
As a lifetime reader, M.K. Dawn always dreamed about becoming a writer.
Then one day an idea came to her and then a story; so she started to
write. And when she started to write, she couldn’t stop. Not only
does she love to write fantasy, paranormal and dystopia books she can
almost always be found with her nose buried deep in them as well.
M.K. lives in South Texas with her husband and two children. When she
isn’t writing, she is reading, watching her favorite TV shows or
dreaming about sitting on a beach somewhere.

The Kid’s Korner #34 ~ How The Squid Got Two Long Arms

Welcome to The Kid’s Korner.

I decided to do this feature as I have so many great children’s books to share. From picture books, to books for beginning readers, to middle graders, I have plenty of fun ones.

Today I’m taking you deep down in the ocean. It’s a fishy tale, indeed.

How The Squid Got Two Long Arms

by Henry Herz

Genre: Illustrated Children’s Book

My Review

  Squid have ten arms. Ever wonder why two of them are longer than the others? Henry Herz has a tale to tell.

20180731_133850

A  squid with only a flashy silver scarf to keep him warm in the cold ocean snatches a sweater from a sleeping octopus.

He then comes across a  fiddler crab minding his own business and swoops in and takes his mitten.

Then he spies a sea dweller with a hat. Oh, he really needs that hat. What happens next changes the little thief forever and will stretch your imagination. And a sneaky little fish may be the next story you want to “sea.”

This was an adorable tale about bad actions having consequences. The naughty little squid was quite the thief. The more he took, the more he wanted and the sea sure was bountiful.

The fabulous pictures help tell the story. They’re so colorful and bold that the creatures look like they could swim right out of the pages. I was showing them to my son and he suggested something fun. We turned out all the lights so it was very dark. Then we read the book using a flashlight. It really felt like we were in the dark ocean. I have the print copy and it’s large, like a magazine, with lovely textured pages. The author includes some interesting facts and photos about squid at the end of the book. As much a learning tool as pure enjoyment, this story drew me back more than once.

Synopsis

Author Henry Herz tells a clever story about a selfish squid who pays the price for stretching the patience of his fellow sea creatures thin. The tale trails a shivering squid swimming through the cold waters of winter who spots a cozy looking sweater. Although it belongs to an octopus, the squid makes off with the sweater. Still not cozy, the squid keeps swimming and helping himself to more clothes to keep himself warm, until the true owners of the clothes come after him with dire consequences! This charming new twist on a pourquoi tale is complete with colorful comic book style illustrations and scientific information about real life squids that will interest readers of all ages!

Blessed Be 
The Summers Sisters Book 1
byTeresa Keefer
Genre: Paranormal Romance
 
Alana Summers was quite content with her life. A peaceful farm tucked in a
wooded area by the lake with her pets for company. A shop in the
small tourist town where she sells a potpourri of items that reflect
everything about her. She’s at peace. She’s Wiccan.
Logan Farmer is the local sheriff. Small town boy who went to the big city
and joined the police force. Then he came home where he belonged. He
is deeply rooted in his Native American heritage.
Both had grown up knowing that there was more to the world that could be
explained or seen. But neither of them knew that their peaceful lives
could be disrupted in an instant by a legend long buried. A tale that
had been told to them by Logan’s grandmother when they were young
along with a warning that the ancient legend could replay during
their lifetime.
But was it really an ancient paranormal evil come to roost or were the
recent events merely the doings of a warped human mind? Or had the
human’s events shaped the return of the evil?
 
 
Threefold
The Summers Sisters Book 2
 
Teagan Summers has a secret that she thought she had tucked away forever.
That is, until she was summoned to her home town of Lakewood to help
with banishing an ancient evil that had come to pay a visit to the
sleepy town. Then, she was faced with another woman whose secret
wasn’t so secret anymore.
Devon Brock knew he had to help his friend, Logan Farmer. Logan had helped
him out too many times to turn his back and say no. However, he
didn’t realize that he would be called upon to pull out his law
license to defend a poor woman who had killed and mutilated her
husband on Halloween night. And he sure never expected to have to
deal with spoiled Teagan Summers as part of it.
Devon and Teagan join forces as they work valiantly to not only defend a
murderess, but to help Teagan’s sisters and Logan Farmer as they
battle an unseen evil that threatens to destroy the small town of
Lakewood. And as they work together, they also form a tentative truce
that they both know could lead to more.
 
 
Namaste
The Summers Sisters Book 3
 
Riana Summers had spent most of her adult life trying to find herself. The
youngest of the three Summer Sisters, she just couldn’t resist sowing
her wild oats and she had done it across the country. When her
sister, Alana, had summoned her to come home to Lakeview because she
was needed to do her part to hunt down and destroy an evil entity
which had been playing havoc on her hometown, she did so with the
intention of returning to her stand-up comedy gig in Las Vegas. She
had no idea her brief trip home would turn to months and that she
would end up finding out who she really was. Or that she would find
herself face to face with a man who could get her to want to settle down.
Eric Michaels had been born and raised to be a farmer. It was what he did
best. So, when the opportunity to be the foreman at a farm near a
place called Lakeview, he had jumped at the chance. What he hadn’t
planned on was getting sucked into a paranormal nightmare. Things he
couldn’t even begin to fathom. Including finding himself deeply
attracted to a woman who could create magic with the tips of her
fingers.
As the conclusion of the Summer Sisters trilogy comes to an end, will
they be able to destroy the force that had unearthed itself from its
deep dark grave to destroy them?
