Kevin
Turner is a reporter on the run from...Yikes!
Zombies.
As
if the world isn't weird enough, this author
creatively
invents a horrific setting full
of
human ‘shells’ that/who(?) follow him to the Gerald
Ford
school where his wife works and a
church
where he intends to find solace, only to end up
at
the police station where Detective Lawrence
wants
to know what’s going on. The flashbacks and memories
kind
of tangle with the action but the characterizations and
descriptions are great.
Fast
paced and graphic, it’s not the stuff I normally
read
but someone recommended it and I’m glad to have read
it.
For some strange reason my favorite part
had
to do with a giant burrito. Perhaps recalling my own days
at
a newspaper when I had to hurry in to a
store
for lunch, grab a burrito and eat it in my car before
deadline.
Something about deadlines does sound
zombie-ish
and the terror of missing a deadline is worse than
any
growling hunger. Anyway, that part made
me
chuckle and sympathize with Kevin. I liked this book but
it
seriously gave me nightmares. | ||||||||||

Perhaps I’m late in the game having finally read
JackLondon’s storyWhite Fang and yet I feel that now that I’m older I appreciate the hardship this combination wolf /dog endured. White Fang’s trials are interpreted with eloquent, yet graphic detail.
The miraculous transformation is almost
mortifying for
the proud son of a she-wolf.
Lured into many bloody battles, the story winds
from
Northern tundra, to forest, camp,
river, cabin and finally a stately home in
California....
London’s instincts and soulful accounts of
feelings, dreams and travel from White Fang’s
perspective
made me reflect on my own rescue dogs
and how they must have felt when they faced
commonplace
situations and obstacles in their lives.
If you are a dog lover, then you owe it to
yourself to read
this book! | ||||||||||

Eula May is in big trouble and every
chapter will make you want to find out how
she’s
going to get out of that trouble. Just when you
think,
you've solved the crime in your head
there’s another twist to the story and pretty
soon, you
feel like you’re playing Clue and losing,
all while having a great time. This is Amy
Fremgen’s first
novel and I have to say it’s well written
and hilarious. If you enjoy the classic
who-done-it,
interspersed with a lot of humor, you’ll love
this
book just like I did. I recommend it highly!! | ||||||||||

The story starts out with the characters
literally being
tossed together during a California earthquake, while riding in an elevator. After they're rescued, the story gets pretty steamy and they come face to face with some major issues involving trust. Once I got past what I personally thought sounded juvenile--things like `popped my cherry' and `boy toy'--I tried to understand the writer's focus about psychology and how important therapy can be to people who have suffered abuse. It's a good message--but back to the story: Will Tristan go back to his prostitutes? Will Joanne run into Michael's arms while at the conference and forget about Tristan and his insecurity? Read Love Shakes and find out! | ||||||||||

This book surprised me with tons of resources, links and
fabulous advice for teaching children
not only how to learn but to have fun while learning. At first,
I thought it was going to be about
home schooling but instead it was a plethora of parties,
games
and hot chocolate, crafted to be less
about the classroom and more about the family. The author takes
a monthly look at all the possibilities
that might intertwine with the lessons taught at school and
embellishes the teacher’s groundwork with deeper
questions and fun projects that even the parent’s will enjoy.
It’s about how to keep children engaged,
entertained and interested in reading, learning and spending
time with others.
If you know a parent who worries about video games and mobile
apps taking control of their child,
then you need to get them this book right now! | ||||||||||

She’s a crime reporter turned consultant.
She lives in a seaside condominium and dresses in khaki pants
when her boyfriend’s out of town. Of course, when he’s around
she’s wearing something sheer but not for long.
After all, he’s a very busy, good-looking photographer who can
skip out in a heartbeat.
Thank God, he’s in love. Meanwhile, Marcy is the coolest chick
in literature—kind of a female
and very perceptive, Clint Eastwood.
Billington writes this character
as if he knows women inside
and out--not just any woman--
but the tough and beautiful kind that
get things done.
If you enjoy exciting stories with
mounting suspense then you’ll love
Corpus Delectable.
Reminded me of those puzzles where you connect all the dots.
There’s a lot going on and a lot of dots
but Marcy plans on stringing
everything together so
she can figure things out. When her friend,
a restaurateur by the name
of Paul, goes to jail for a crime
he couldn't possibly have committed, Marcy
becomes ‘Dirty Harry in a
dress.’ Well almost.
She’s asking a lot of questions and getting
deeper and deeper into a
dangerous situation.
Will she figure out what happened? Will she live
through this ordeal?
Billington pulls you into this mystery until you’re worried sick
about Marcy.
I loved the author’s smooth and easy writing style and
dragged
it out as long as I could,
but alas, the book ended and now I know what happened and since
you don’t, I recommend you order your copy today! | ||||||||||

Have you ever started a great book and thought,
“I’m not sure I’m going to like this?”
Maybe it was the use of the first person or
the fact that it seemed too familiar. Was I
scared?
The author begins the tension slowly with
detailed
descriptions of the main character’s daily
routine,
her friends and her volunteer work.
Very cleverly, her book pulled me right back
into high
school,reminding me of my own volunteer work and
my own rotten
boyfriends.
In other words, I connected with Miss Williby’s
character.
Furthermore, my wonderful husband swears he saw
me in his dreams,
as a young man and knew he had to find me!
Miss
Williby’s writing is so believable
that I could feel the emotion and her pain.
Every time I came to the word “I,” it made me
worry. No, it’s not
me but could it...no, don’t worry...yet
still...wow.
Perhaps that’s how I define great writing.
It became apparent that I LOVED this book and
looked forward to
reading more.
The more I loved the book, the more I hated the
boyfriends.
I’m still mystified about Jack and perplexed
about Jim/ Chris.
Truth is I still don’t trust Chris but Tessina
did—big time—in fact,
those are some embarrassingly juicy love scenes.
Meanwhile, it looks like there are sequels that
will hopefully
answer some of the lingering
questions about her parents and the biological
tampering.
When the end rolls around you’ll be out of
breath! What will
Tessina do next? Will love survive? | ||||||||||
