My Tiny Review ~ Junction

Posted: August 2, 2019 in reviews, Science Fiction
Tags: review, Science Fiction

Welcome to My Tiny Review.

Today I bring you Junction.

~~~~~

Junction

by Daniel M. Bensen

Genre: Science Fiction

My Review

The team sent into the wormhole might have seemed random. But they were carefully chosen and an ulterior motive emerges as you follow their fight for survival in a dangerous alien world.

I didn’t worry whether this scenario was even possible or if the science worked in this story. I just enjoyed the ride and the very strange alien beings.

And I think this would be so enjoyable as a movie. I already have some actors in mind.

~~~~~

Synopsis

When Japanese nature show host Daisuke Matsumori finds himself on an alien world, he hopes to rekindle his passion for his work. Traveling through a newly-discovered wormhole in the Papuan highlands, he joins biologist Anne Houlihan on Junction, a patchwork planet of competing alien ecosystems. When their exploratory party crashes in the alien wilderness, Daisuke and Anne try to lead bickering soldiers and civilians back to civilization alive. As they trek across one unearthly biome after another and members of the party continue to die, however, Daisuke wonders whether human politics might be more deadly than alien biology. One of his companions might be a murderer. 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.

Tag Team Review and Giveaway ~ Evil Stalks The Night by Kathryn Meyer Griffith

Posted: July 30, 2019 in giveaways, horror, Paranormal or fantasy, reviews
Tags: giveaway, Horror, paranormal, review, tag team event

This is a Tag Team Event hosted by myself and Sherry.

It’s always a pleasure to share more books by Kathryn Meyer Griffith. I’ve read many of her books and plan to read everything she writes.

For today, I’m sharing my review of Evil Stalks The Night.

After reading my review, head on over to Sherry’s blog at fundinmental to check out her review and enter another giveaway!

Evil Stalks The Night

by Kathryn Meyer Griffith

Genre: Horror / Paranormal

My Review

The title for this book is perfect and so is the cover. Something stalks Sarah and her family. History is repeating itself as evil stirs in the woods and children are once again the victims of it’s wrath. Could the curse be true? And can they stop the evil before it kills again?

Kathryn never fails to keep me totally immersed in her stories. She always gives me genuine characters. And her descriptions of their lives echoes my own childhood memories. Not the scary stuff though.

The evil that stalks these people is terrifying. How the author describes the malevolent entity that can’t be seen raises the hairs on my neck. The fortitude and bravery of Kathryn’s character’s gave me hope they could vanquish the evil that has stalked their family for generations. But as things go from bad to the worst possible I had my doubts.

The fact that Sarah is a psychic and can see what may have already happened and what might be going to happen doesn’t always help her. She can’t always determine past from present, and even when she can, it doesn’t mean help will arrive in time. This unpredictability really added to the suspense and had me flying though the book.

Kathryn is on my auto read list. And she’s given me another bone chilling read.

~~~~~

Synopsis

Twenty years ago psychic Sarah Summers fled from the evil that lurked in the woods behind her childhood home after it killed most of her family, but a nasty divorce and financial hardships forced her back when nothing else could. With her son, Jeremy, she returns to her grandmother’s dilapidated house and tries to begin a new life. She meets an eligible man, police detective, Ben, who falls for her, and she prays her fresh visions of bloodshed and death deep among the dark trees are not true. Then the murders begin again and Sarah is hurtled back into the same nightmare that has haunted her her whole life. The evil in the woods is awake again…and this time it wants her last remaining brother, her son…and her. With Ben’s and Jim’s help can she defeat it this time…and live?

About the Author

Since childhood I’ve been an artist and worked as a graphic designer in the corporate world and for newspapers for twenty-three years before I quit to write full time. But I’d already begun writing novels at 21, over forty-five years ago now, and have had twenty-six (six romantic horror, four thrillers, three horror novels, two romantic SF horror, one romantic suspense, one romantic time travel, one historical romance and eight murder mysteries) previous novels, two novellas and twelve short stories published from many traditional publishers since 1984. But since 2012 I’ve gone into self-publishing in a big way; and upon getting some of my older books’ full rights back for the first time in 33 years, have self-published all of them along with my newer novels. My four Dinosaur Lake novels and four Spookie Town Mysteries (Scraps of Paper, All Things Slip Away, Ghosts Beneath Us and Witches Among Us) are my best-sellers. Once branded a horror writer, these days I consider myself a storyteller.

I’ve been married to Russell for thirty-nine years; have a son and two grandchildren and I live in a small quaint town in Illinois. We have a quirky cat, Sasha, and the three of us live happily in an old house in the heart of town. Though I’ve been an artist, and a folk/classic rock singer in my youth with my brother Jim, writing has always been my greatest passion, my butterfly stage, and I’ll probably write stories until the day I die…or until my memory goes.

My Monday Minis #53 ~ My Hungry Friend

Posted: July 29, 2019 in horror, Monday's Minis, reviews
Tags: Horror, My Monday Minis, review

Welcome to my Monday Minis where I share shorter reviews of books I’ve read.

Today I bring you My Hungry Friend.

~~~~~

My Hungry Friend

by Daniel Barnett

Genre: Horror

My Review

I enjoy creepy tales of regret. This guy never should have taken his bad day out on a strange old lady. It brought him many more bad days.

This reminded me a bit of the movie, Drag Me To Hell. If you’ve seen it, you get the idea, and can see why I had a bad feeling about how things would end up for Mike. At first I wasn’t too keen on Mike after what he did to the old woman. But then I learned how sad his life was. Losing a loved one to a mind ravaging disease would make me want to kick the crap out of things too. From then on, I was team Mike.

That one action has such big repercussions as Mike’s world crumbles around him. Is he also losing his mind? Are the monsters real? And what can he do to fix things?

This is my kind of creepy story. Once it gets rolling there’s no stopping it. Strong writing, creepy build up and some intriguing characters. I got what I asked for.

~~~~~

Synopsis

When Mike Roberts kicks over a homeless woman’s cup of change, she whispers a cryptic warning:

“Mind the cracks . . .”

Now the Boston he knows and loves is unraveling around him. But his life is not the only thing at stake. His mother, a once acclaimed writer lost in the late stages of Alzheimer’s, depends on him to have a home. And then there’s her caretaker, Cassie, who might want something more from Mike than the friendship they’ve long shared.

As his city balances on a razor’s edge, Mike will have to hunt down the daughter of the woman he wronged and uncover their terrible family secret . . . or be plunged into a world of crawling horrors and unspeakable hunger.

A world from which no one has ever returned.

Some chit chat.

I found out what was wrong with my car and it’s going to cost me a bit to fix it. My SUV is an older model but I had the engine rebuilt a few years ago so I decided it was worth the money to go ahead and fix it. I do plan on starting to look around for something else. A backup vehicle. Maybe a car. Guess I’ll have to keep working both jobs for longer than I wanted to to help with that purchase.

On a brighter note, I managed to squeeze in some pool time. Since the rains we had been having lowered the water temp it was wonderful and so relaxing. And I binged a new show. Have you watched Another Life? It was okay and I do hope they continue with it. And I managed to clean most of my house. LOL

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

Lizzie Borden by Elizabeth Engstrom ~ Review and Giveaway

Posted: July 26, 2019 in giveaways, Historical, Mystery, reviews, thriller
Tags: giveaway, historical, mystery, review, thriller

Lizzie Borden

by Elizabeth Engstrom

Genre: Historical Mystery, Thriller

I’ve always been fascinated about Lizzie Borden. People are divided on whether she did the crimes or not. I’m no expert so I cant decide either. It took place so long ago we’ll never know. That’s why I grab books about her whenever I come across them. I immediately snatched this up without even reading the synopsis. If I had, I might have realized this was more of a fictional character study on the Borden family than much to do with the crime itself and the trial.

It got off to a slow start and I pushed on to see where the author was taking the story. What I got was a peek through the keyhole to what the Borden’s family dynamics might have been like. Dark and disturbing indeed.

The story may have been different from what I was expecting, but I did enjoy reading about Lizzie and her family from a different angle.

Did she do it?

A hundred years ago, it was the Trial of the Century. A young woman
stood accused of brutally murdering her father and stepmother in a
crime so heinous that it became a benchmark in human tragedy.

A hundred years later, the Lizzie Borden case still resounds in the
imagination. There are those who staunchly defend Lizzie’s
innocence while others vehemently declare that she did it, and that
the murder was justified.

In Elizabeth Engstrom’s brilliant novel, the dark psychology of the
Borden household is laid bare. Lizzie, her sister Emma and their
parents Andrew and Abby Borden, are sharply illuminated—as are the
paranoia and concealed hatred that secretly ruled the family.
Domestic violence and dysfunctional families are not inventions of
modern times.

“Every door in the Borden house is metaphorically locked, and each room holds
the terrible secrets of its occupant…Engstrom skillfully and subtly
builds a psychological plot, moving the reader inexorably toward the
anticipated savage denouement.” —Publishers Weekly

Goodreads * Amazon

Elizabeth (Liz) Engstrom grew up in Park Ridge, Illinois (a Chicago suburb
where she lived with her father) and Kaysville, Utah (north of Salt
Lake City, where she lived with her mother). After graduating from
high school in Illinois, she ventured west in a serious search for
acceptable weather, eventually settling in Honolulu. She attended
college and worked as an advertising copywriter.

After eight years on Oahu, she moved to Maui, found a business partner and
opened an advertising agency. One husband, two children and five
years later, she sold the agency to her partner and had enough seed
money to try her hand at full time fiction writing, her lifelong
dream. With the help of her mentor, science fiction great Theodore
Sturgeon, When Darkness Loves Us was published.

Engstrom moved to Eugene, Oregon in 1986, where she lives with her husband Al
Cratty, the legendary muskie fisherman, and their Duck Tolling
Retriever, Jook. Liz holds a BA in English Literature and Creative
Writing and a Master of Arts in Applied Theology, both from
Marylhurst University. A recluse at heart, she still emerges into
public occasionally to speak at a writers conference, or to teach a
class on various aspects of writing the novel, essay, article or
short story. An avid knitter and gardener, she is on faculty at the
University of Phoenix and is always working on the next book.

The House On Xenia

A Mary Catherine Mahoney Mystery Series

by Rita Moreau

The House on Xenia (A Mary Catherine Mahoney Mystery Series)
Cozy Mystery
4th in Series
Independently Published (May 8, 2019)
Paperback: 332 pages
ISBN-10: 1096120712
ISBN-13: 978-1096120711
Digital Print Length: 209 pages
ASIN: B07R9Q682Y

A government conspiracy. A life-threatening secret. Can a psychic accountant balance the books of justice?

Mary Catherine “MC” Mahoney prefers numbers to her supernatural powers. But when a cold-case corpse shows up under her cousin’s family home, the only calculations that add up are paranormal. And deep within the floorboards of the house on Xenia, MC and her madcap Greek family uncover evidence pointing to visitors from another planet…

Pursued by military agents intent on keeping the secrets buried, MC will have to play by the house’s rules to expose the alien mystery. And there’s only one member of the family who can get to the hidden truth…

Can MC reveal the cover-up, or will a dangerous hush job close her books forever?

The House on Xenia is a standalone novel in the Mary Catherine Mahoney cozy mystery series. If you like psychic female sleuths, crazy family antics, and long lost aliens, then you’ll love Rita Moreau’s quirky tale.

~~~~~

My Review

I am a huge fan of cozy mysteries and always looking for a different theme for them. A psychic and possibly aliens? I had to see what this was all about.

It was about the very likeable, funny and stubborn MC (Mary Catherine) and the predicament she winds up in. What is that predicament, you ask? Well, a corpse is found under her cousin’s house. It turns out to be from a cold case and when MC starts to investigate, she finds possible evidence of visitors from outer space. Aliens? Oh my!

This was just so much fun to read. There’s fun, zany characters, house included, and more than one mystery to figure out. Made me grin enough my face hurt.

It’s said that this is a stand alone in the series and you can enjoy it without having read previous books. I sure did. But, now I must go back and start at the beginning. I’m thinking I’ve missed a whole lot more fun.

My Monday Minis #52 ~ The Haunting Of Henderson Close

Posted: July 22, 2019 in horror, Monday's Minis, reviews
Tags: Horror, My Monday Minis, review

Welcome to my Monday Minis where I share shorter reviews of books I’ve read.

Today I’ve got a haunting story that left me questioning what was really happening.

~~~~~

The Haunting Of Henderson Close

by Catherine Cavendish

Genre: Horror

My Review

Hannah lands a job as a tour guide, never expecting there to be any real ghosts. Henderson Close has a dark history from back in the 1800s and many people have claimed to experience strange things, but she thinks it’s all hype for the tourists. It isn’t long before the ghosts reveal themselves to her. She begins to doubt her sanity as the lines between the past and the present become blurred.

This was one of those slow burn stories, heavy in atmosphere. I enjoyed that as the author introduced the characters, built the backstory, and then proceeded to give me the chills. As Hannah began to question her sanity, I questioned it too. And the more I read, the darker the plot became.

The ending wasn’t what I was expecting, in an intriguing but confusing way. Still thinking about it and unsure if I liked it or I didn’t. I actually waited a couple of days and then read the end again and still wasn’t sure about it. But, I’m happy I read the book and would like to read more of this author’s work. And I think this would really work as a movie. The author sure did put me in the story both past and present. Spooky vibes.

Thanks so much to Flame Tree Press and Author Catherine Cavendish for my complimentary copy. My review is voluntarily given.

~~~~~

Synopsis

Ghosts have always walked there. Now they’re not alone…

In the depths of Edinburgh, an evil presence is released.

Hannah and her colleagues are tour guides who lead their visitors along the spooky, derelict Henderson Close, thrilling them with tales of spectres and murder. For Hannah it is her dream job, but not for long. Who is the mysterious figure that disappears around a corner? What is happening in the old print shop? And who is the little girl with no face?

The legends of Henderson Close are becoming all too real. The Auld De’il is out – and even the spirits are afraid.

Some chit chat.

They don’t call it the lazy days of summer for nothing. I have been so lazy! My house needs cleaning. I can see dust collecting. Cobwebs forming. Guess it is time to get off my bootie and get to it. I’ll get right on that. As soon as I finish the book I’m reading. Hey, I’m right at the part where…. LOL

So let me see. What new happened this week. My car broke down. What fun. I’m hoping it’s nothing too costly and I’ll get it back next week. Figures it happens with the weekend so close. I do have a loaner they gave me to drive though. It’s a little car and I’m used to my SUV. I feel like no one can see me on the road. LOL And there was a knock at my door. The city workers informed me that the tree in my front yard had gotten too big to trim back. It was interfering with the power lines. Could they remove it, for free? I loved that tree. But, the roots had already damaged my water line twice, costing a hefty chunk in repairs. So, yeah. They did it in one day and you can hardly tell it was ever there. I miss that tree and it looks strange when I drive up to my house.

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

~~~~~

My new books this week. I went a bit crazy grabbing some freebies, buying some I had on my wish list and taking in a few new review books.

And I pre-ordered this one. Couldn’t help myself! LOL

An innkeeper who reads minds. An ornery detective. And a trail of bodies. Cider Cove is the premiere destination for murder.

My name is Bizzy Baker, and I can read minds—not every mind, not every time but most of the time, and believe me when I say it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.

Bizzy Baker runs the Country Cottage Inn, has the ability to pry into the darkest recesses of both the human and animal mind, and has just stumbled upon a body. With the help of her kitten, Fish, a mutt named Sherlock Bones and an ornery yet dangerously good looking homicide detective, Bizzy is determined to find the killer.

Cider Cove, Maine is the premiere destination for fun and relaxation. But when a body turns up, it’s the premiere destination for murder.

Michael Okon’s Witches Protection Program ~ Review and Giveaway

Witches Protection Program

by Michael Okon

Genre: YA Urban Fantasy

Poor Wes. He’s failed again and now he’s been given one last chance to prove himself qualified to be in law enforcement. He’s sure it’s a prank when he’s assigned to the Witches Protection Program.

It’s no hoax. But it takes some convincing for Wes to believe in witches. He gets it in spades.

His first assignment, protect a witch, heiress Morgan Pendragon, from her evil aunt. Her aunt is cooking up a diabolical scheme to rule the world.

Wes will have to catch on quick if he’s to save Morgan and himself from a witches brew of trouble.

This was a fun story with some likable and not so likable characters. Got to take the good with the bad.

Wes is a pain in the beginning. Then he finds his place and becomes someone to cheer for.

Morgan is a reluctant witch, wanting nothing to do with her aunt or the other witches and their schemes. They’re not going to give her a choice though.

There’s some cool weapons, compelling characters, and a showdown at the end that I wish I could see for myself. Just imagine the pile-up when drivers look up and see witches flying in the sky.

I like a good witch, but I have a thing for the bad ones too. There’s one, Morgan’s aunt, who will chill you to the bone. Too powerful for anyone’s good.

Grab a broomstick and hang on tight. It’s a bumpy ride.

Wes Rockville, a disgraced law-enforcement agent, gets one last chance to
prove himself and save his career when he’s reassigned to a
232-year-old secret government organization.

The Witches Protection Program.

His first assignment: uncover a billion-dollar cosmetics company’s
diabolical plan to use witchcraft for global domination, while
protecting its heiress Morgan Pendragon from her aunt’s evil deeds.
Reluctantly paired with veteran witch protector, Alastair Verne, Wes
must learn to believe in witches…and believe in himself.

Filled with adventure and suspense, Michael Okon creates a rousing,
tongue-in-cheek alternate reality where witches cast spells and wreak
havoc in modern-day New York City.
