Euphoria-Z By Luke Ahearn

Do you enjoy Dystopian books? Do you enjoy Zombie books? Then, I am about to tell you the perfect book for you to rip your teeth into!

Euphoria-Z by Luke Ahearn: The world has ended as we know it. People are infected. Do not let their carefree and happy demeanor fool you. They take a beating and still keep going all with a smile on their face as they come to feast off you.

Cooper is one of the few who manages to keep going despite the challenge he faces as he searches for his sister. As if, zombies were not enough he has to face some pretty crazy humans as well. Acts of kindness are questioned as some humans cannot be trusted.

Another character I truly felt for was Sal. He lost his wife and has to find the will to go on.

While this book was quite gory as to be expected with a zombie book I found this book to be a very quick read. I appreciated the new spin on his book. His take is refreshing. I entered a giveaway via Goodreads First-reads and was contacted by the author to see if I would be interested in reading and reviewing his book. I am very grateful and appreciative  for the opportunity.

The sequel to this book is expected to be released in time for Halloween 2014!


 HAPPY READING!!!!

Best Wishes Always,

The Beautiful Ugly By James Snyder

Today I have a very heartbreaking yet very well written story to share with you! Given the subject matter as a parent, I strongly recommend ADULTS ONLY should read this! However, as I have stated on my very first blog entry it is at the parent/guardians sole discretion as to whether a child should be allowed to read the content of the books I discuss.

The Beautiful Ugly by James Snyder pulls us into a world where sixteen year old Connelly Pierce wakes up in a psychiatric facility. The staff is trying to get her to talk with them. However, she is not willing to cooperate with them. She then begins to tell the reader about her childhood and experiences she had to endure.

It is my opinion that this story is well written but as a mother I felt sadness for the characters but also rage for how Connelly was treated. I felt compelled to keep reading. Simply because I wanted to know, What happens next? I am grateful to have received this book via Goodreads First reads!

There is a second book in the series that I would be interested in reading!

Into The Abyss


HAPPY READING!

Best Wishes Always,

Angel Baby By Richard Lange

Hi Everyone, I hope you are doing well! Today, I have an usual book to share with you! While it is not the kind of book I would typically read due to the subject matter. I was yet again pleasantly surprised!

Angel Baby by Richard Lange is about a woman named Luz who leaves her abusive and powerful husband Rolando. Luz is determined to see her daughter. Once Rolando figures out his wife left him he decides to enlist the best man he has to track her down and bring her home.

This book is the first book I have ever read where I was rooting for the main character as well as the hired muscle. This book had me feeling so many emotions at once. I found this book very difficult to put down always wanting to know, what happens next?

This is the first book I have ever read by this author. I would be interested in reading something else by him in the future. I am very grateful and appreciative to have won an advance copy of this book via Goodreads First Reads!

HAPPY READING!

Best Wishes Always,
