This is my own version of a weekly book haul and all things new on fuonlyknew.

I’m also linking up with The Sunday Post hosted by Kimberly @Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

Some chit chat.

I said last week that I don’t know where my heads is at. Still don’t! LOL I didn’t watch television last weekend and completely missed something important. Luckily I got a hurricane warning alert on my phone Sunday night. Ran out and got what I might need. Went to work Monday and then ran home to store all the outside furniture and bring in loose items. This is the first storm this year and I wasn’t looking forward to it. Figures it was coming in Tuesday night. I hate it when they come in after dark. Luckily, it blew through fast and wasn’t that bad. Mostly torrential rain for a couple of days.

This lucky guy made it through okay.

Do you see it? The big banana spider hanging in the middle of the picture. He’s bright orange and green though you can’t see that in the picture. Huge too. As big as my hand! They have super strong silk and the storm huffed and puffed but he hung in there.

I was surprised when we didn’t lose power. Good thing too as I watched some shows and had the volume up high to “drown” out the noises from outside. LOL When I checked in the morning there was no damage. Just a very water logged yard and some branches on the ground. Hopefully, we won’t get any more before hurricane season ends in November.

I’ve been scrambling to visit posts I’ve missed because I unplugged during the storm. If I missed you, sorry, and I’ll catch up!

Have a fabulous Sunday and brand new week!

Casino Girl

Baxter and Holt #2

by Leslie Wolfe

Genre: Crime, Suspense Thriller

In Las Vegas, secrets are deadly.

Detectives Laura Baxter and Jack Holt are
members of the elite: Las Vegas Metro PD, one of the toughest and
most respected law enforcement agencies in the United States. In the
middle of a city with two million residents and 43 million annual
visitors, they’re hunting for a killer.

The girl

When a beautiful, young
girl is killed in the high-roller Pleasure Pit of the exclusive Scala
Casino, the news reverberates for hours among the ritzy clientele.
Before taking the stage where she found her death, Crystal was last
seen boarding an unmarked helicopter for a late-night flight to an
unknown destination.

The money

The stakes are high at
the roulette table, and the players are hot-blooded. Among them, a
stone-cold killer watches, waits, and kills without leaving a single
trace of evidence. Rien ne va plus but death.

The game

The name of the game is
murder, and it doesn’t stop with Crystal’s demise. Anyone who
threatens to expose the killer’s identity will soon find they’re
being targeted.

In Las Vegas, secrets can kill.

Two mavericks make an intriguing team. Baxter
and Holt trust each other with their lives, only not with their
darkest secrets.

The Bad Neighbor by David Tallerman

I was thrilled to receive this ARC of The Bad Neighbor by David Tallerman provided by Flame Tree Press. Doesn’t that cover give you all kinds of shivers?

The Bad Neighbor

by David Tallerman

40774578

Genre: Thriller

My Review

Ollie comes into a bit of money and, on impulse, he buys a rundown house in a seedy neighborhood. In no time he has run ins with the neighbor. The music coming from next door plays into the wee hours. So loud he can’t sleep. And the parties spill over into the back yard, getting on his last nerve. When he finally decides to do something about it, the description of a bad neighbor gives this story a whole new twist.

Ollie went from annoyed to out of control in a heart beat. I wanted to grab him by the collar and shake the crap out of him. He was impulsive, reckless. Ever watched a movie or read a book where the character does something that makes you wince? You don’t want to see it or read it, but you can’t stop? Well, this guy is all kinds of are you nuts and shy in the smarts department.

After a slow start and accepting the fact I wasn’t going to warm up to the main character, things picked up and I settled in to finish the book. Some twists and suspenseful scenes made it worth pushing through to the end.

Thanks so much to Flame Tree Press and Author David Tallerman for this thrilling book.

Synopsis

When part-time teacher Ollie Clay panic-buys a rundown house in the outskirts of Leeds, he soon recognizes his mistake. His new neighbor, Chas Walker, is an antisocial thug, and Ollie’s suspicions raise links to a local hate group. With Ollie’s life unravelling rapidly, he feels his choices dwindling: his situation is intolerable and only standing up to Chas can change it. But Ollie has his own history of violence, and increasingly, his own secrets to hide; and Chas may be more than the mindless yob he appears to be. As their conflict spills over into the wider world, Ollie will come to learn that there are worse problems in life than one bad neighbor.

AVOIDING THE BADGE

Arizona K9 #1

by Dorothy F. Shaw

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Pub Date: 9/4/2018

JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED

Rayna Michaels may be a veterinarian, but she knows a little something about the human heart—especially when it comes to worried pet owners. Law enforcement’s bonds with their K9 partners are legendary, and Derek Hansen is a perfect example—he’s had his dog Axle in more times than she can count in the last few months. And Derek’s sculpted muscles and heart-stopping smile would be truly irresistible, if only he wasn’t an officer of the law…

Derek can’t get Rayna’s stunning face and no-nonsense smarts out of his mind. Any excuse to see her will do, until he works up the nerve to ask her out. He’s not sure where her resistance to cops comes from, though he’s more than willing to prove he’s one of the good ones. But when casual dating turns into explosive lovemaking, Derek knows he has to come clean about his past before the woman he loves finds out what he’s been hiding and turns tail to run…

Coven At Callington ~ Spotlight and Giveaway

Tags: fantasy, giveaway, witches

Coven At Callington

The Cauldron Effect #1

by Shereen Vedam

Synopsis

A kidnapped child. A witch on the warpath. A church guard in crisis.

In the year of our Lord 1815, Thomas Drake Saint-Clair, Earl of Braden, a Guard of the Green Cross, is tasked by his archbishop to rescue a missing boy and return him to his warlock father. The order lands Braden in the middle of an unholy war between witches and warlocks and shoves him headlong past a sacred line he’d sworn never to cross.

Newly confirmed Coven Protectress, Merryn Pendraven, rushes to rescue a witch’s son. She’s convinced the same evil warlock who was responsible for her younger brother’s death is behind this kidnapping, too. She has no intention of letting this vile villain get away with the same crime, twice.

When Merryn discovers Braden is also on the case, she’s tempted to join forces. Yet, how can she truly trust him when her aunt has warned that Braden’s second secret charge is to destroy their coven? Finding love in this cauldron of trouble might prove to be Merryn’s deadliest mission and Braden’s complete undoing.

If you liked A Discovery of Witches and Dr. Strange or Mr. Norrell, you’ll love Coven at Callington, an anime-inspired witchy tale that will whisk you away on a rip-roaring Regency ride.

Flower Power Fatality

The Psychedelic Spy Mysteries

by Sally Carpenter

.

Flower Power Fatality (The Psychedelic Spy Mysteries)
Cozy Mystery
1st in Series
Cozy Cat Press (April 22, 2018)
Paperback: 234 pages
ISBN-10: 1946063541
ISBN-13: 978-1946063540
Digital ASIN: B07DLJS6FF

The Cold War gets cozy in this retro-cozy spy caper set in 1967, a year of music, miniskirts—and murder! Actress Noelle McNabb works at the Country Christmas Family Fun Park in Yuletide, Indiana, but she longs for the bright lights of Hollywood.

Real-life drama comes her way when a stranger with a fatal gunshot wound stumbles across her doorstep. When she attempts to finds the man’s murderer, Noelle encounters a super-secret spy agency, SIAMESE (Special Intelligence Apparatus for Midwest Enemy Surveillance and Espionage). SIAMESE recruits Noelle on a quest to find missing microdots under the guidance of a street-wise agent, Destiny King. As Noelle goes undercover in a cheesy nightclub and faces the enemy in late-night chases, she uncovers family secrets and finds her moral values put to the test. Along with her pet cat, Ceebee, and the kooky residents of Yuletide, Noelle discovers it takes a village to catch a killer.

Giveaway Celebration For Silver Dagger Book Tours 2nd Anniversary

Posted: September 6, 2018 in giveaways
Tags: giveaway, Silver Dagger Book Tours

I’m thrilled to share the celebration for Silver Dagger Book Tours 2nd Anniversary.

It’s been a treat to share the amazing books and authors for Maia’s tours and she is wonderful to work with.

Join us and don’t forget to enter the giveaway!

~~~~~

Silver Dagger Book Tours is now 2
years old this month!

Believe it or not, Silver Dagger Book
Tours was created and is mainly operated by just one person!

I used to be just an internet crawler
looking for new books and giveaways and stumbled upon book tours.
After indulging in many dozens of tours, I decided I’d like to try my
hand at blogging in my spare time (with absolutely no blogging
experience at all!) I was a book blogger for several companies (and
still am) and stuck with it for over 3 years. In that time, I learned
all the ropes and became a pretty efficient blogger, but there was
still something missing- I wanted to make my posts stand out a bit!
So, I started creating small graphics like “about the book” and
the other standard graphics that you see in all my tours nowadays and
started jazzing my posts up.

I became pregnant with my second child
in the fall of 2015 and me and my hubby decided to try to purchase
our first home finally, so I quit my waitressing job to pack up
everything for the move and never looked back!

It took several months of trying to get
the ball rolling and was quite difficult at first to get authors to
tour with me. Thus, I had an idea to let everybody pay what they can
comfortably afford instead of set rates as I thought what some other
companies charged were just outrageous!

Since then, I have done over 1000 tours
and worked with hundreds of amazing authors – many who come back
for repeat tours! I have 2-3 tours kick off every weekday with
occasional tours on the weekends and EVERY tour is required to have a
giveaway so readers can gain a little something and have fun while
they enjoy learning about new books.

I have an absolutely amazing group of
bloggers that share my tours on their sites and really couldn’t have
gotten this far without their continued support and would like to
thank each and every one of them! Ya’ll are amazing! I also have two
assistants that help me check links and keep up with blogger activity
– Janet, who’s been with me over a year, and Laurie, who is a new
addition. Ya’ll ladies are spectacular and I couldn’t do it without
you!

Absolutely everything else is
completely run solely by me though and I really enjoy organizing
tours and helping new authors get discovered. I don’t discriminate
and host ALL fictional genres in ALL age ranges as me and my bloggers
have a broad range of readers that enjoy many different genres.

After two years of astronomical tours,
I am going stronger than ever now and growing on a daily basis with
plans to continue hosting tours for many many years!

If you are an author interested in
booking a tour with me, you can see a general FAQ page and booking
HERE!

If you are a blogger interested in
joining some of my tours, you can see my current sign ups HERE!

And sign up for email invites HERE!

A third generation local of the
historic town of Fredericksburg, TX, I was born and raised among the
rolling hills of the Texas Hill Country where the beauty of the
landscape is breathtaking and town is famous for the Main Street historic
shopping district, the best peaches in the world, wildflowers and
wine. I really can’t imagine living anywhere else!

A country girl through and through, I
grew up hunting, fishing and digging for Indian artifacts, all the
while enjoying the many rivers and swimming holes around town. I’m a
stay at home mom with three beautiful boys, ages 9, 2, and 1 that
encompass my entire world!

A bookaholic from birth, I have always
had a deep passion for reading and spend many late nights devouring
books into the wee hours of the morning. My “real” book
collection numbers over 3000 books and take up an entire small room
in our house with custom bookshelves built by my husband that I call
my “book cave”. I’ve been building this collection since my
childhood and will keep on adding to it for the rest of my life. Of
course, I also have a similar collection of ebooks as well as I
finally went digital a few years ago.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading,
playing with my kids, doing DIY renovation projects with my husband,
cooking, and relaxing on my back porch with a good cup of coffee
while I watch the massive axis deer herd come through the yard.

Mixter Twizzle’s Breakfast ~ Children’s Book Review

Posted: September 5, 2018 in Children's books, Fantasy, reviews
Tags: children's illustrated book, fantasy, friendship, review

Mirror World Publishing presents a 1-week book tour for Mixter Twizzle’s Breakfast. Written by Regan W.H. Macaulay and Illustrated by Wei Lu!

Follow the book tour HERE.

My Review

Mixter Twizzle is a naughty little demon. He lives under the hen coup and comes out to steal their eggs. But then something happens to change the little red guy and a new story begins.

I just loved Mixter Twizzle. He’s a little cutie but he can be very pesky. It took something magical to change his ways and I really liked how that worked out.

Fun for little ones but I enjoyed it too. The story is not too long or too short. Just right. And the illustrations are very colorful and fun.

Did I enjoy this book? Yes. That little red imp charmed me. Would I recommend it. Very much so. A lesson about friendship and a fun adventure.

~~~~~

About Mixter Twizzle’s Breakfast:

Mixter Twizzle is an odd, red, round-shaped, mischievous creature. He lives in a hovel, beneath a rustic barn, underneath the chicken coop at Riverdale Farm. He’s a snoozing sneezer and a snoring barker—a peculiar sort that both annoys and pleases. At first, Mixter Twizzle is thrilled by his egg-gorging fests, delighting in his own wickedness, but he soon realizes he is lonely. He longs for companionship, but the hens will have nothing to do with him. Can this fiendish creature learn to make friends at the farm?

The Siren and the Specter by Jonathan Janz ~ Bringing the boo

Posted: September 5, 2018 in horror, New Release, reviews
Tags: Arc, Horror, review

Do you enjoy reading about hauntings? I sure do. Have a huge stack of books to share in October.

I was thrilled to receive this ARC of The Siren And The Specter by Jonathan Janz provided by Flame Tree Press. A beautiful book with thick pages and a spectacular cover.

The Siren And The Specter

by Jonathan Janz

Genre: Horror

My Review

I can’t resist a haunted house tale and this had all of the ingredients required to keep me glued to the story. There was the curiosity. The kind that killed the cat. There was the atmosphere heavy with dread. And multiple cases of mysterious activities.

And I love a skeptic. David Caine is the perfect example. He refuses to believe what is happening right before his eyes. Reminds me of the movie, Room 1408. The main character, played by John Cusack, cannot allow himself to believe something is really happening and suffers for it. Big time.

The author fleshes out his characters, starts the build up of suspense through some serious hair raising atmosphere, and then lets the spook out. And he provides more than one haunting. What’s in the house is big and bad. What haunts the grounds is just as deadly. Some serious twists and ulterior motives going on too. Never a dull moment with this one.

Did I enjoy this book. Oh, yeah! Would I recommend it? Very much!

Thanks so much to Flame Tree Press and Author Jonathan Janz for this thrilling book.

~~~~~

Synopsis

When David Caine, a celebrated skeptic of the supernatural, is invited by an old friend to spend a month in “the most haunted house in Virginia,” he believes the case will be like any other. But the Alexander House is different. Built by a 1700s land baron to contain the madness and depravity of his eldest son, the house is plagued by shadows of the past and the lingering taint of bloodshed. David is haunted, as well. For twenty-two years ago, he turned away the woman he loved, and she took her life in sorrow. And David suspects she’s followed him to the Alexander House. FLAME TREE PRESS is the new fiction imprint of Flame Tree Publishing. Launching in 2018 the list brings together brilliant new authors and the more established; the award winners, and exciting, original voices.

Grounds For Remorse

A Tallie Graver Mystery #2

by Misty Simon

Genre: Cozy Mystery

No more cheating . . .

Best friends Tallie Graver and Gina Laudermilch both seem to spend a lot
of time around urns. For Tallie, they’re part and parcel of the
family business, Graver’s Funeral Home. Even though she’s traded
ashes for dusting with her own cleaning business, she still works
part-time for her folks and lives above the funeral parlor. For Gina,
they’re the vessels that con-tain her heavenly brew at her coffee
shop, Bean There, Done That. And both women are learning that owning
a business can make finding time for romance challenging.

But when Gina’s new beau turns out to have a wife, who barges into the
coffee shop to take him home, she can’t contain her bitterness and
loudly threatens to poison his cup or boil him in a vat of coffee. So
when Mr. Wrong turns up dead at the bottom of a staircase inside
Gina’s locked home, she finds herself at the top of the police’s
suspect list. Tallie needs to sweep in to save her friend. But she’ll
need to watch her step, or she may go from being a funeral home
employee to becoming their next client . . .

Cremains of the Day

A Tallie Graver Mystery #1

There’s no reverse on the hearse . . .

For Tallulah Graver, marrying wealthy Waldo Phillips seemed like the best
way out of the family business, the Graver Funeral Home. But when her
marriage falls apart and Tallie is left with next to nothing, she
turns to cleaning houses to make ends meet. As humbling as it is to
tidy the mansions of the snobby socialites she used to call friends,
at least she doesn’t have to be around dead bodies. Until . . .

She discovers one of her employers lying in a closet with a knife
sticking out of her chest. This unpleasant shock seems to be part of
a web of weird experiences: Tallie’s friend Gina’s shop is broken
into, her ex is stun-gunned where it hurts the most, and now she’s
receiving flowers from the dead woman. Granted the deliveryman is
handsome, but seriously, that’s enough to cast a pall over anyone’s
day. Now Tallie needs to dig deep to clean up this mess—before she
finds herself in a grave situation.

“You’ll be cheering as the clues pileup in this creative cozy mystery.”
—New York Times bestselling author Lynn Cahoon
