Some chit chat.

I’ve been feeling so lazy. The yard needs to be cleaned up. The house is a mess. I just can’t make myself do any of it. I’m going to blame it on new episodes of shows I’ve been watching. Some good movies. A bunch of good books. And laziness. LOL Oh and the pool! It’s been hot and a dip in the pool is a must at least once a day. That’s where I’m heading now!

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

Forever Wild

Forever Friends Book 3

by Allyson Charles

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Dax Cannon never says no to a challenge. But when he discovers a sexy
stowaway in the back of his truck, he realizes Annelise Ansel might
be more than he bargained for.

An artist, Lissa claims
she’s leaving New Orleans for a fresh start in Michigan–which just
happens to be where he’s headed with the pack of rescue dogs he’s
delivering to the sanctuary he works for. But when three thugs
threaten to take lovely Lissa off his hands, he realizes she’s in
need of a sanctuary, too.

Once Lissa is riding
shotgun with her long, lean protector, she’s wondering if fate
might have something better in store for her than a life in hiding.
But when her hijinks threaten to take down the best man she’s ever
had the pleasure to run away with, Lissa realizes it’s time to face
her demons. Now it’s up to the two of them to fight through the
danger to discover the life—and love—waiting on the other side.

Forever Found

Forever Friends #2

Head vet at the Forever Friends animal rescue shelter, Gabriel Moretti is
known as the Dog Whisperer because of his gift for soothing
rambunctious patients. But it’s the two-legged species that has
him, and his libido, working overtime. Marla Popov single-handedly
saved the shelter from financial ruin. But the bossy trust funder is
even more irritating than her snooty Standard Poodle. You’d think
keeping his attraction on a short leash would be a no-brainer for
Gabe. Unfortunately, Marla is also smart, beautiful, and intriguing . . .

Most of her life,
people have been eager to tell Marla just what she wants to hear. So
now that she’s nearing forty, she doesn’t expect to be
refused—especially by a sexy younger man like Gabe. She also
doesn’t expect it to sting so much. But when she discovers a scheme
involving illegal dog fights, she gets a chance to show what she’s
truly made of. And as she and Gabe team up to fight it, they discover
a surprising respect for each other—and passion that might just
grow into love. . .

Forever Friends #1

LOVE UNLEASHED

Isabelle Lopez has never been a dog person. Raising her daughter alone and
building a real estate career leaves no time for four-legged
furballs. When she finds an abandoned mutt and litter of pups in a
foreclosed apartment, Izzy intends to drop them off at a shelter and
walk briskly away. Instead, her “heroic” deed makes her a local
celebrity. Her boss is thrilled. Commissions are up. And thanks to
gorgeous shelter owner Bradley Cohen, Izzy’s disciplined life is
suddenly much, much more complicated.

He’s got a sexy smile, a wicked sense of humor, and a big, noble heart.
Even as Izzy tries to get her libido to heel, boy, Bradley
sets out to convince her there’s more to life than padding her bank
account. But Izzy knows a trade secret that puts Brad’s beloved
shelter at risk, and she can’t warn him.

Their relationship was barely getting started; suddenly it’s in the dog
house. Now Izzy and Brad need to figure out what matters most, and
whether this could be much more than animal attraction…

Review ~ Dust Devils by Jonathan Janz

Dust Devils BT Poster

DUST DEVILS

by Jonathan Janz

Publication date: Jun 2019

My Review

I’ve been a huge fans of western’s since I was a young girl and stayed up late watching movies with my dad. He introduced me to some great western authors too. Then, I discovered horror and it became my new favorite genre. Imagine my excitement to find these two genres combined. Bliss!

Sure, I enjoy the less horrific vampires. But the truly nasty ones always win with me. Janz serves up the most evil of vampires. They’re sadistic and cunning. They have this rather creative cover to hide what they are and lure their victims to them. And once they decide it’s time to feed, heads will roll and blood will splatter. Egads, some scenes were almost too visual in my head.

I know when reading horror not to become too attached to the characters. Most have a bad outcome. There were a few in this book that I couldn’t help but connect with. Wish for their happy ending. This added to the suspense, and when I reached the end and the dust settled, I was sad about some that didn’t make it and happy for those that lived to fight another day.

If you like your vampires vicious and enjoy a rollicking, fast paced western, look no further. Grab your copy and dive in.

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

Jonathan Janz

Jonathan Janz grew up between a dark forest and a
graveyard, which explains everything. Brian Keene named his
debut novel The Sorrows “the best horror novel of 2012.”
The Library Journal deemed his follow-up, House of Skin,
“reminiscent of Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House
and Peter Straub’s Ghost Story.”
Since then Jonathan’s work has been lauded by writers like Jack Ketchum,
Edward Lee, Tim Waggoner, Bryan Smith, and Ronald Kelly. Novels like The
Nightmare Girl, Wolf Land, Savage Species, and Dust Devils prompted
Thunderstorm Books to sign Jonathan to an eleven-book deal and to give
him his own imprint, Jonathan Janz’s Shadow Side.
His novel Children of the Dark received a starred review in Booklist and was
chosen by their board as one of the Top Ten Horror Books of the Year
(August 2015-September 2016). Children of the Dark will soon be translated
into German and has been championed by the Library Journal, the School
Library Journal, and Cemetery Dance. In early 2017, his novel Exorcist Falls
was released to critical acclaim.
Jonathan’s primary interests are his wonderful wife and his three amazing
children, and though he realizes that every author’s wife and children are
wonderful and amazing, in this case the cliché happens to be true. You can

My 56 for this week is from:

The House On Xenia

A Mary Catherine Mahoney Mystery

by Rita Moreau

Genre: Cozy Mystery

From 56% in the eBook.

“Well, I like this dress. It’s comfortable, and I love these shoes. I told my housekeeper, Lili, I wanted to go shopping with her next time she goes to Walmart.”

“No, not allowed on Long Island,” Mabel said.

I’m having a whole lot of fun with this one and I’ll be sharing my review soon.

~~~~~

Synopsis

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.

Review and Giveaway ~ It’s Murder My Son by Lauren Carr

It’s Murder My Son

by Lauren Carr
A Mac Faraday Mystery #1

Category: Adult fiction, 288 pages
Genre: Murder Mystery
Publisher: Lauren Carr
Release date: June 23, 2010
Tour dates: May 1 – June 28, 2019
Content Rating: PG (It’s a murder mystery and there is mild violence. Very mild swearing no F-bombs. No on-stage sex scenes.)

My Review

I’ve been reading and loving Lauren’s books for many years. I’m known for jumping into a series anywhere and I first dipped my toes into this series with Cancelled Vows, Book #11. I’ve become very familiar with these characters and grown to love them. I always said I’d go back and meet them from the beginning. And now I have.

You might think the book wouldn’t be as fun as I already know these characters and have read so many of their adventures. Not so. While they did feel familiar, I also felt like I really had met them for the first time. It was fun to see where they began compared to how far they had come in the later books.

I was also curious to see if the writing would be as strong as the later books. I needn’t have worried. This was one entertaining story with plenty of misdirection and a boat load of fun.

You are introduced to the four-legged rascal, Gnarly. Lauren’s non human characters play big roles in her books and provide us with plenty of comic relief. Learned a few new things about this endearing shepherd that I didn’t already know. I still wonder if he’s an alien? LOL

Only nine more books before I catch up to when I first jumped into this series and you can bet I’ll be reading every one.

~~~~~

Synopsis

What started out as the worst day of Mac Faraday’s life would end up being a new beginning. After a messy divorce hearing, the last person that Mac wanted to see was another lawyer. Yet, this lawyer wore the expression of a child bursting to tell his secret. This confidence would reveal Mac as heir to undreamed of fortunes, and lead him to the birthplace of America’s Queen of Mystery and an investigation that will unfold like one of her famous mystery novels.

Soon after she moves to Deep Creek Lake, Maryland, Katrina Singleton learns that life in an exclusive community is not all good. For some unknown reason, a strange man calling himself “Pay Back” begins stalking her. When Katrina is found strangled all evidence points to her terrorist, who is nowhere to be found.

Three months later, the file on her murder is still open when Mac Faraday, sole heir to his unknown birth mother’s home and fortune, moves into the estate next door. Little does he know as he drives up to Spencer Manor that he is driving into a closed gate community that is hiding more suspicious deaths than his DC workload as a homicide detective. With the help of his late mother’s journal, this retired cop puts all his detective skills to work to pick up where the local investigators have left off to follow the clues to Katrina’s executer.

Come A Little Closer

by Chrissy Brown

Synopsis

Sophie was the love of my life. Okay, we were twelve the last time I saw her but still. I’ve tried everything to move on—whiskey, women, weed. Nothing seemed to fill the void. Now, ten years later, she shows up out of the blue. The problem, I’m not the boy she used to know. I have a reputation that could ruin everything. Still, I have to try. Even if nothing happens between us, having Sophie in my life as a friend is better than not having her at all. Come A Little Closer is the second installment in the Georgia Boys Series. It can be read as a standalone novel.

Enjoy this peek inside:

I blush and shake my head. “We should get started on the bedroom.”

Kevin follows behind me, fiddling with his phone. I refill the paint tray and set it on the bedroom floor. Maroon 5’s “Girls Like You” starts playing. Kevin comes up behind me, puts his hands on my hips and begins to move them to the music. He presses against my back. My hands fall to my sides, and I tilt my head against his chest.

“This is not helping my walls get painted,” I whine.

“Come on, dance with me.” he pleads.

I turn around and stare into his eyes. It would be so easy to get lost in them but I can’t. I won’t. My hips stop moving, but Kevin’s still dancing. I raise the paintbrush that’s in my hand and slap him in the face with it. Slap sounds violent. It was more like I grazed him with cream colored paint while my hand slowly moved in front of his face. Kevin stops dancing. His jaw hangs open.

“Game on babe.”

Spotlight and Giveaway ~ Grey Skies by William Becker

Posted: June 11, 2019 in giveaways, horror
Tags: giveaway, Horror

Grey Skies

by William Becker

Genre: Horror

Roman Toguri finds himself burying the body of a nun in Boone, North
Carolina. As the skies darken and it begins to storm, he is forced to
shove the corpse into his trunk and take it home for the night,
unaware of the torment that playing God will bestow upon him.

Enter Hell with two bonus short stories: The White Shade, an ultra-violent
look into the mind of a mass shooter, and The Black Box, a
psychedelic dive into weird horror.

Add to Goodreads

Amazon * B&N

William Becker is an 18-year-old horror author with a mind for weirder sides
of the universe. With an emphasis on complex and layered storylines
that tug harshly on the reader to search for deeper meanings in the
vein of Silent Hill and David Lynch, Becker is a force to be reckoned
within the horror world. His works are constantly unfathomable,
throwing terror into places never before seen, while also providing
compelling storylines that transcend the predictable jumpscares of
the popular modern horror.

His first novel, WEEPING OF THE CAVERNS, was written when he was 14.
After eight months of writing, editing, and revising, the story
arrived soon after his 15th birthday. During the writing sessions for
his debut novel, he also wrote an ultra-controversial short story
known as THE WHITE SHADE that focused on the horrors of a shooting.
Living in a modern climate, it was impossible for THE WHITE SHADE to
see the light of day. Following a psychedelic stint that consisted of
bingeing David Lynch movies, weird art, and considering the depth of
the allegory of the cave wall, he returned to writing with a second
story, THE BLACK BOX, and soon after, his second novel, GREY SKIES.

Perilous Confessions

The Possession Chronicles Book 1

by Carrie Dalby

Genre: Supernatural Southern Gothic Family Saga

Their love brought scandal and demons.

Lucy Easton, an aspiring novelist, will do anything to help boost her
chances at publication—including betraying her family. But when she
crosses paths with the charismatic Alexander Melling, her aspiration
for success pales in comparison to the attraction she feels towards him.

Alexander is a young lawyer from a powerful family, striving to free himself
from his father’s shadow. The more time he spends with Lucy, the
more desperate he becomes to shed the secrets of his past—a past
which can destroy the both himself and the woman he’s falling in
love with.

While Alexander struggles with his past sins, Lucy must decide whether
loving him is worth risking her own safety…and her heart.

From gossip magazines to gleaming Mardi Gras balls, Lucy and Alex navigate
the Edwardian era in the Deep South with both passion and guilt.

Goodreads * Amazon

Murmurs of Evil
The Possession Chronicles Book2

During the spring of 1906, Magdalene Jones is hired to be a companion to
Ruth Melling at Seacliff Cottage, the Mellings’ second home on Mobile
Bay. Magdalene’s simple country upbringing is no match for high
society banter and a manor hour infested with demonic activity.
Alexander, the Mellings’ bachelor son, and Magdalene find themselves
oppressed by demons playing upon their lusts. Claudio De Fiore–a
young Italian deacon training to become a priest–and newly arrived
from Scotland, Douglas Campbell, seek to protect Magdalene from the
evil within the walls but they themselves might be part of the trouble.

Winter Frost

A Chris Matheson Cold Case Mystery Book 2

by Lauren Carr

Category: Adult fiction, 290 pages
Genre: Mystery, Crime Fiction, Police Procedural, Cozy
Publisher: Acorn Book Services
Release date: January 28, 2019
Tour dates: May 1 – June 28, 2019
Content Rating: PG (It’s a murder mystery and there is mild violence. Very mild swearing no F-bombs. No on-stage sex scenes.)

My Review

So many things happen in this action packed sequel to Ice that I am struggling to share my review without including spoilers.

Lauren Carr doesn’t waste any time dropping you into the thrills and intrigue with a murder attempt on a person who was supposed to be already dead. Here is where the spoiler free review becomes difficult. So, I’ll just talk about how much fun I had with Winter Frost.

Many of my favorite characters were present, along with some serious bad guys and the much adored non human ones. The bond between the characters and furry family members in Lauren’s books are so genuine. And the animals have their own distinct personalities, which makes for some crazy fun.

There’s also not just one but several mysteries and agendas occurring throughout the book which keeps the excitement ramped up and the anticipation for answers high.

Did I enjoy this book as much as the first one, Ice? I sure did. Lauren once again made me laugh, coo over the romance, cheer on the good guys and wish the worst on the villains.

~~~~~

Synopsis

It all started with a chance encounter in the city with Blair, his late wife.

Chris Matheson and the Geezer Squad, working under the guise of a book club, dig into the events surrounding his late wife’s supposed death halfway around the globe. A state department employee shoots himself in the back three times. A CIA operative goes missing. A woman is targeted by an international assassin three years after being declared dead in a terrorist attack overseas.

Nothing is as it seems.

In his most personal cold case, Chris fights to uncover why the state department told him that Blair, the mother of his children, had been killed when she was alive. What had she uncovered that has made her a target? Who terrified her so much that she had gone into hiding and why are they now after him?
