Some chit chat.

Gah! My yard and flowerbeds are a mess. The lawn is mowed. I have someone who does that every week. But I do all of the weeding and trimming. The overgrowth is out of control. After tending it faithfully all summer, I’ve run out of gumption. LOL It happens every year.  Nothing is slowing down yet so I figure I’ll clean it up one more time and then wait to winterize the delicate things.

And guess what I saw today. Blue skies with not a hint of a cloud….all day long! That hasn’t happened once all summer. Guess what I did? I shucked plans for working in the yard and spent all my time in the pool. The days are blistering hot with heat index warnings for 110 plus degrees. Even though the water temp in the pool is around 91 degrees, it still feels cooler than the air. Got sunburned too as I’ve been losing my tan due to so many rainy days.  Heading back out there now. Toodles!

Have a fabulous  Sunday and brand new week!

Today’s book is hard to describe. You’ll see!

The Mouth Of The Dark

by Tim Waggoner

38607941

Genre:  Horror / Paranormal

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

My Review

Egads. That best describes my thoughts on this one. I knew from the description it was going to be out there, but this was such a strange read.

It all begins with a man searching for his daughter. That’s the only thing normal about this story. It quickly turns into a bizarre story of finding himself, plunging him into a strange world of demonic sex toys (AKA: Pink Demon) and just plain weird experiences.

Now, I’m not that squeamish. I can take gore, hideous death scenes and terrifying paranormal or supernatural elements. The author took me beyond that into a strange and shocking experience with character’s I struggled to warm up to. That would normally make this a three star read for me as long as the writing was good. It was good. Even the parts that made me flinch. What made it four stars for me was the fact I couldn’t stop reading it. I didn’t even skim past the parts that turned my stomach, scenes I shuddered to picture. I was compelled, held captive until I finished it.

As for the ending. Well, it was an interesting one.

Did I enjoy it? Yes. Even though it made me squirm, my curiosity wouldn’t let me stop reading it. Would I recommend it? Yes. To those who enjoy the darker side in their reading experience.

Synopsis

Jayce’s twenty-year-old daughter Emory is missing, lost in a dark, dangerous realm called Shadow that exists alongside our own reality. An enigmatic woman named Nicola guides Jayce through this bizarre world, and together they search for Emory, facing deadly dog-eaters, crazed killers, homicidal sex toys, and – worst of all – a monstrous being known as the Harvest Man. But no matter what Shadow throws at him, Jayce won’t stop. He’ll do whatever it takes to find his daughter, even if it means becoming a worse monster than the things that are trying to stop him.

Welcome to The Friday 56 hosted by Freda’s Voice.

 

This is a really fun meme!

The only rules are to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader and find a sentence or a few (no spoilers) that grabs you and post it.

Then go over to Freda’s Voice and leave your link so we can visit your 56!

My 56 for this week is from:

The Monster Museum

Ellie Jordan: Ghost Trapper #10

  by J.L. Bryan

37880825

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

Genre: Fantasy . Paranormal / Horror

From 56% in the eBook.

A tiny black bird, small enough to perch on my thumbnail, stood in a nest of moonstones and small sapphires. It whistled a song while flapping its wings, bobbing its head, and opening and closing its beak, hopping and turning in an amazing impression of a live animal.

When it was done, it lay down in it’s nest and the round lid of the box closed over it.

I love music boxes. I still have one with the little ballerina spinning on a mirror. Remember that one? I’m thinking there may be more to this one. Sounds almost magical.

I love this series and hope it never ends. LOL Have you read any of the books?

For those who haven’t started this fantastic series yet, the first book is free.

Synopsis

Just outside the small but colorful mountain resort town of Foxboro, Tennessee lies Dr. Weirdman’s Mountain Museum of Monsters, Curiosities, and Ancient Mysteries. Once a major tourist attraction, it offers travelers the amusement of touring unusual underground caves and pseudo-scientific exhibits ranging from strange creatures to the supposed artifacts of lost civilizations.

Now the museum is a crumbling relic of an older age, fallen into disrepair. Its longtime owner has died, leaving it in the hands of a younger distant relative who knows nothing of how to run a failing tourist trap of a museum, but who is desperate to make a living and provide for his own children.

The museum has a serious ghost problem, though, and Ellie Jordan is called in from Savannah to help. An unexpected old friend joins Ellie at the last moment so that they can spend a snow-filled Christmas together in the mountains…if the ghosts of the restless dead don’t turn the holidays into a horrific tragedy.
