Synopsis

I thought I had nothing left to give. I thought wrong. They started the war. Now I will end it.

Alice “Ali” Bell thinks the worst is behind her. She's ready to take the next step with boyfriend Cole Holland, the leader of the zombie slayers…until Anima Industries, the agency controlling the zombies, launches a sneak attack, killing four of her friends. It's then she realizes that humans can be more dangerous than monsters…and the worst has only begun.

As secrets that may tear Ali and Cole apart come to light, and more slayers are taken or killed, Ali will fight harder than ever to bring down Anima—even sacrificing her own life for those she loves.

My Review

 

This is the third book in a four book series by Gena Showalter. This book is 460 pages long.

Alice Bell thinks that the slayers have finally one after the slayers found out about the healing fire, but they were wrong. In a matter of weeks Anima had killed four of her fellow slayer and injured many others. While looking for others she sees the witness that is like looking in a mirror. This witness gives her abilities beyond anyones' thinking processes. When the slayers are surrounded by zombies, Ali does the unthinkable..... She makes them float and then explode, including her fellow zombie slayers. There is one problem though.... She is having a hard time getting a grasp on what's going on. There are traitors in the team of slayers and Ali only has one option to save her friends and hunky boyfriend, Cole..... Surrender herself to Anima. Secrets and lies will be revealed to Ali along the way and many will die. Cole and Ali are getting more together, too! Who will die? Will Anima succeed in what they have planned?

This was a great book in all. I loved the romance and I did tear up at parts. This book is full of heartache.... and also HOPE!! This book was a great read with many twists and turns. It makes you want to help the slayers and be with them to rid the world of Anima. I was sitting on the edge of my chair while reading... Very suspenseful.

 

 

 

The only problem I had with this book was the fact that on Amazon, this was marked as teen read.... It is not. This is definitely New Adult. Parental discretion advised. There is vulgar language and sex-related themes. They do actually have sex, but it isn't very descriptive.

Synopsis

It's the end of the world as we know it.

Trixie Collins is a normal teen making her way through high school. One night at a party, a boy comes on to her and won't take no for an answer. As she jerks her arm away, his fingernails cut into her skin. 

When she finds her dog's mutilated body and realizes she's to blame, she starts to think maybe the zombie apocalypse they've been screaming about on the news isn't a hoax after all. Worse, she begins to think maybe she's one of the infected.

Now it's a fight for life as she joins together with her brethren to stop the humans intent on destroying them. Are zombies all bad, or is it just a huge misunderstanding?

My Review

This book was written by Jo Michaels and is the first and only book in this series. The book is 256 pages long.

Trixi Collins used to spend her time at high school with her best friend Lexi and Jack, her ex boyfriend and best friend. Then, one night at a party, her and Jack are both injured and the infection spreads. The news starts overflowing with information on a new outbreak. Everyone decides to jump to conclusions, so now "hunters" roam the streets shooting any of the infected. The "zombies" are all in hiding until they get a telekinetic call from Trixi telling them to come to Jack's hideout to stay safe. Trixi and Jack have one mission....... Survive! Jack thinks he has figured out how to cure this disease, but everyone is either dead or in hiding. Trixi and Jack have always been friends, now something even worse than "zombies" is growing between them. What will happen to the rest of the "zombies"? Will they find a cure?

I loved this book!! The zombies weren't portrayed as mindless killers, they had their minds and they could get organized. It was just a infectious disease that came around. It chews up the subject's vocal chords and eardrums, too. I pitied the hunters, because they were killing innocent people that were just sick. WARNING!WARNING! This is a book that will make you cry..... I know I did and that doesn't happen often. This is a clean book that only has mild grotesque scenes. I wish Jo Michaels would have made another book, because there is many opportunities. Jo Michaels, you are a great author..... Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read this great book! 

Book Review: Whispers and Wishes - The Sage Springs Series

Purchase on Amazon.

Purchase on Barnes and Noble.

Synopsis

Eliza Monroe has been traveling the United States for three years, immersing herself in the towns she visits as she searches for the mother she’s never known. She hopes returning to her grandmother’s inn in Sage Springs, Mo., will provide the break she needs to evaluate her lonely life. 

What Eliza isn’t expecting is to have two men enter the picture, not making her decision to stay or leave any easier. One has been her foundation, while the other is as comfortable as she is hopping from city to city. Throw in a kooky grandmother, a cheerful best friend, a sarcastic guest, a town where residents and spirits interact like neighbors, and Eliza has little time to contemplate her future. 

Friendships grow, webs are spun and lies are revealed before Eliza comes to terms with what she wants in life and learns what's really important. 

My Review

This is the first book in a three book series by Hollie Westring. This book is 236 pages long.

On a mad goose chase around the country searching for the mom she never knew, Eliza Monroe heads back to Sage Springs until she gets news from Tom, her private investigator, about her mother's location. When at the airport she sees Jake, the boy who said he loved her when she ran, and he takes her to see her coocky grandmother. Lexi, Eliza's best friend, has been trying to tell Eliza about the broken down inn, but long-distance relationships don't work very well. On Eliza's return, she learns of her grandmother's lover and the inn's shape after Manny, the inn's keeper, left. Eliza is staying at the inn until after Fall Fest. After making new friends, including Ivy and Gavin(The definition of Tall, Dark, and Handsome), Eliza finds it even more difficult to stay or leave and find her mother. Not all is who they say and what you think might not be what it is. Will Eliza stay in Sage Springs? Where is Eliza's mother now?

I loved this book, especially the characters. This was very well-written with cool spirits and spell-binding wishes. This little book was packed full of surprises that would never be expected. Even though 200 page books usually take me about a day, this only took a couple of hours. I can't wait to read the next book in the Sage Springs series. I've been trying a new method of reviewing the books I've read. I am starting to do video reviews. If anyone would like their book video reviewed, then contact me on my Facebook page or my blog directly.

Purchase on Barnes and Noble.

Synopsis

Zombies stalk the night.  
Forget blood and brains. These monsters hunger for human souls. 
Sadly, they've got mine… 
Alice Bell has lost so much. Family. Friends. A home. She thought she had nothing else to give. She was wrong. After a new zombie attack, strange things begin to happen to her. Mirrors come to life, and the whispers of the dead assault her ears. But the worst? A terrible darkness blooms inside her, urging her to do very wicked things. She's never needed her team of zombie slayers more, but ultra bad-boy Cole Holland, the leader and her boyfriend, suddenly withdraws from her…from everyone. Now, with her best friend, Kat, at her side, Ali must kill the zombies, uncover Cole's secret and learn to fight the darkness. 
But the clock is ticking…and if she fails at a single task, they're all doomed.

My Review

This is the second book in a four book series by Gena Showalter. This book is 480 pages long.

Ali and the other slayer, including her bad-boy boyfriend Cole Holland, are trying to take down Anima, but there is a kink in their plan when Ali is bitten... Her two heartbeats were beating very fast. Time is running out and she has to protect her fellow slayers at all costs, including taking her own life. These dark urges that can't be explained are changing her from the inside to the outside. There could be a possible antidote, but she would have to trust a stranger that worked for Anima. Cole has his own secrets and their visions together aren't them at all. A new slayer, Gavin, has been having "romantic" visions with Ali. That could break up Ali and Cole forever. Kat's condition is getting worse, but she's living life to the fullest. Will Ali and Cole break up? What is this new darkness awakened in Ali?

This was my favorite out of the two books I've read, so far. I love the twists. And the romance. This book was funny, to me at least. I can't wait to read the third book, too. After I read the third book, I'm going to read the indie books these nice authors sent me. I can't wait!! There is mild cussing and inappropriate themes.

Book Review: Alice in Zombieland - The White Rabbit Chronicles

Synopsis

SHE WON'T REST UNTIL SHE'S SENT EVERY WALKING CORPSE BACK TO ITS GRAVE. FOREVER.

Had anyone told Alice Bell that her entire life would change course between one heartbeat and the next, she would have laughed. But that's all it took. One heartbeat. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything she knew and loved was gone. Her father was right. The monsters are real. To avenge her family, Ali must learn to fight the undead. To survive, she must learn to trust the baddest of the bad boys, Cole Holland. But Cole has secrets of his own, and if Ali isn't careful, those secrets might just prove to be more dangerous than the zombies.

My Review

This is the first book in a four book series written by Gena Showalter. This book is 410 pages long.

Alice and her sister, Emma, have spent most of their lives locked away from the rest of the world, because their dad could see "monsters" no one else could. Alice always hated her dad, until the night of a crash that killed her family. She now understands the "monsters" dad supposedly saw. After taken to the hospital, she meets Kat, a fun-loving friend for life type of gal. They become instant friends and then she meets Cole Holland and his gang. It was love at first sight, hehehe!! Actually, they had a vision together of them fighting and kissing, etc. That vision became a reality when the gang learned of her abilities to see and fight these "monsters". Will Alice be able to avenge her family? Are the visions real? Will Alice ever really fit in with the gang?

This was a great book with good descriptions. There are a lot of twists and turns, but the main focus is an action-packed romance. I think Gena Showalter did a great job describing the zombies. I would never think of the zombies as spirits and people aren't able to see them unless they are slayers. That was a great touch... Alice's abilities are great, too. She is even more kick-butt than Cole and the other slayers!! The only thing to consider "bad" is the mild cussing and some inappropriate themes. 

Book Review: Light of Dawn - The Dawn Trilogy Series

Synopsis

When their greatest fear becomes a terrifying reality, their limits will be pushed and tested. Dawn’s strange abilities are finally revealed, and she begins to realize her full potential. Now she must decide if she will run or fight.

My Review

This is the third book of the Dawn Trilogy written by Komali da Silva. This book is 247 pages long.

Dawn's mom died and she basically lost both her parents. To make it less confusing.... Angels do exist and Dawn's dad was her mom's Guardian Angel! When Dawn's mom died, so did he, per say. Dawn is half angel, half human, the first of her kind... Stuck in both worlds in a war that revolves around her. Gabe, her Guardian Angel, has protected her and taken care of her after Angelo, her ex guardian and ex boyfriend, got burned and lost his charge. War is raging and demons are taking over the city and possessing the citizens.The angel elders can't do anything without proof that the prophecy is true about Dawn being the High Priestess. Her powers are getting stronger and the cards have been played... She will be the light that will save, her being the High Priestess, but there will be death, one of them someone close to her that she loves dearly. Will Dawn run or fight? Who can she trust? Which of her loved ones will live or die?

This was an epic battle of love, lust, and tears! I cried at the very end, but it was still a great book. The battle was epic and Dawn's powers were kick-butt! The only problem that I had was the F-Bomb being dropped a few times. Three times I think.... It wasn't as much as most the books I've read so that's good. I wish there was another book to this series..

My Review

This is the eighth book of a nine book series written by James Patterson. This book is 368 pages long.

This is the final chapter. Not all is how it seems and Max has a problem. Fang si in trouble and Ari might not be as dead as everyone thought. Max is falling for Dylan head over heels. When voices return the flock to their mission, Fang comes back to protect Max, but that puts a kink in Dylan's plan. Dylan isn't as he seems and neither is many of the others. Max's mom found a paradise to keep the mutants safe. Max can still save the mutants, but the humans are as good as dead. There is a new virus that will kill everyone. Angel can see Max's death, uh oh!! Will Fang and Max be together again? Is Max gonna die?

It was so unbelievable. The ending was very unexpected and awesome. I always rooted for Fang and Max.I teared up at the end, though. I'm done with this series though so my schedule for indie books is open.
