UNFED (The Killer Sequel to UNDEAD) by Kirsty McKay

I am not sure where I got this ARC copy fo Unfed by Kirsty McKay, but I am enjoying the fun and gruesome ride with Bobby and her friends, as they travel through zombie infested territory.

The cover is fun and creepy.

(Click on the cover to get your copy)

My Tease

As we reach the top, we see a giant zombie playpen below, filled with lumbering bodies.

They see us and flood toward the barricade, roaring. Some are able to climb the first few feet up, using each other for support, looking for the best route, working it out. They reach up to us, anger on their faces, screaming, spitting, popping sinew and wrenching muscle to try and get to us.

Smitty shakes shis head, shouting above the cacophony. “What happened to them?”

“Told you,” I say. “They’re clever now. And wicked hungry.”

Synopsis

The good news: Bobby survived her Undead school trip. Bad news: her best mate, Smitty, is missing. Bobby knows she’s got to find him even if it means risking it all and going out into the starving-zombie-infested wastelands again. Even if it means taking fellow survivors including a couple of old frenemies along for the ride. And even if the zombies are not the only ones who are chasing them this time

Dark Mountain by C B Pratt

Posted on June 24, 2014 by fundinmental

Dark Mountain by C B Pratt has a cover and blurb that makes me think this is going to be a great adventure with assassin, Eno the Thracian.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Got monsters? You need Eno the Thracian! He’s the guy with the answer to your problems, whether they’re as small as a dragonet you need moved to the other side of the mountain or as big as a minotaur wreaking havoc in your palace. He can train your youth for battle, cure your vizier of fatal ambition, or slay hydras (up to seven heads only, please).

As you may know, there’s a serious hero shortage in Greece at the moment. Most of the more famous heroes have heeded their ancient promises and gone to help out one side or the other in the Trojan War. But the need for heroes hasn’t lessened since the war; if anything it has increased. More monsters than ever are appearing in our blessed islands. If you’re one of the unlucky ones beset by strange beasts, summon Eno the Thracian.

Swift sword…reasonable rates.

Hope goes to Monster Hunting School – Killer’s Instinct Tour and Giveaway

Posted on June 24, 2014 by fundinmental

Welcome to the Official Blast for KILLER’S INSTINCT by Dawn Dalton & Judith Graves

I wanted so badly to review this book, but time did not allow it.

I hope you enjoy the book trailer and synopsis. Be sure to enter the giveaway!

KILLER’S INSTINCT

Author: Dawn Dalton & Judith Graves

Genre: Young Adult/Paranormal Publisher: Leap Booksyoung

Where there is NO life – there’s HOPE.

Hope sees beyond the veil to where the dead walk among the living — creepy flashes from a never-ending macabre dream. But when her mother crawls from the grave and her zombified corpse goes MIA, Hope’s last thread of normal snaps with a vengeance.

Enrolling in a militia-style school for monster hunters seems her best bet for tracking down Mommy-dearest and putting what’s left of her mom to rest. But does Hope have a true killer’s instinct? The stakes are raised when she’s partnered with three unique male recruits, each with their own personal demons to slay if they want to survive basic training. In a place like Le Manoir, all bets are off.

Pick up a print or eBook version right now!

Praise for KILLER’S INSTINCT

“What could be creepier than hunting down your own zombie mommy? And what could be more psychologically satisfying to a teen because…it’s just pretend. Isn’t it? I wanted to squeeze my eyes shut tight and turn away from the sublimely dark and smart Killer’s Instinct. But how could I? A single page in, I was hooked.” — Jacqueline Mitchard, author of What We Lost in the Dark and The Deep End of the Ocean

“Killer’s Instinct by Dawn Dalton and Judith Graces is a clever and fast-paced thriller that raises the bar for monster-hunting tales. Nuanced and well-crafted, this novel is told from the points of view of four distinctly defined young characters—Hyde, the hulk in sheep’s clothing; Kain, the wild card; Caddoc, the unit jock; and Hope, both gifted and cursed with a sixth sense. Hope’s inner strengths and compassion make her a fitting role model for teenage readers, yet her vulnerability renders her a satisfyingly sympathetic heroine. Killer’s Instinct is going to knock other YA monster-battling books off the shelves.” — Gary Braver, bestselling and award-winning author of Tunnel Vision

“Hope sees dead people. It’s her greatest weapon and her ultimate curse. After the death of her father and her mother rising from the grave as a mindless corpse, Hope joins an elite fighting team at Le Manoir, a group of teens trained to deal with all manner of paranormal spooks and baddies. She wants to find what’s left of her mother and put her to rest, but first, she needs to learn how — and she might need some help along the way. Hope is a wonderful heroine, smart savvy, and good with a gun: my favorite kind of kick-asser! The other members of the team kept me on my toes, never quite sure who I could trust and what their true motivations were.” — Sherry Ficklin, author of the Gods of Fate series

Underground Mafia is all Female – Butterflies Wake by Arlene Lagos

Posted on June 24, 2014 by fundinmental

Butterflies Wake by Arlene Lagos is a Mafia story of a different kind.

I love kickass women and I think there are a lot of them in this book. Hot and deadly.

Check out the fantastic cover and blurb and mark it to read on your Goodreads list.

SUMMARY

An underground female mafia rights the wrongs of an unjust society in this gripping story of everyday women taking matters into their own hands where the justice system has failed. For many years they have worked quietly and gone unnoticed by the world in which they live, until one of them goes missing. The wrong people start asking questions and before they know it, they are in danger of being exposed. How will they save one of their own without putting their organization in danger? Will they be able to remain a secret?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Lagos has written poetry, stage plays, screenplays and short stories for over 20 years. In addition to writing the Beyond Earth Series she also has twelve short stories published in the Giant Tales anthology. Her new novel, Butterflies Wake, is coming out on June 24th and will be available in hardcopy and eBook. Lagos currently resides in Massachusetts with her husband and their daughter.
