Cover Reveal – Keep You From Harm by Debra Doxer

Posted on September 10, 2013 by fundinmental

Title: Keep You From Harm

Author: Debra Doxer

Expected release: September 27^th, 2013

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Age Group: New Adult

Cover designed by: Okay Creations

SYNOPSIS

Secrets…

They weigh you down. I’ve kept a secret all my life. It’s my mother’s secret, too. I inherited it from her along with a unique ability that only we possess. She’s gone now, another victim of addiction. If her death isn’t enough to bring me to my knees, her betrayal flays me to the bone. Because the secret my mother and I have been keeping is just one of many she’d kept. She never told me I have an older brother. And now he’s here, eager to be my guardian.

There is no one else. So I move across the country to live with this stranger, my brother. But experience has taught me that most situations are temporary and forming attachments only leads to hurt in the end. That’s why I’m determined to keep to myself in this new place, struggling to seem aloof while I’m quietly breaking apart.

Then I meet Lucas…

His magnetism is hard to resist, and most girls at school aren’t resisting. I don’t fall so easily though, especially not for guys who use their good looks as a weapon. From the start, our interactions are tense and volatile. I know it’s because I’m denying the unwelcome desire that grips me when he’s near. I think he feels it, too. He looks at me with an intensity that threatens to unhinge my resolve. Soon he’s trying to break through the walls that past hurts have built.

But I’m not what I appear to be, and it wouldn’t be fair to get involved with him. At least that’s what I tell myself. Until a terrible act of violence reveals that Lucas has a secret, too. It’s a secret that links us together and ties us to an evil history I never could have imagined.

Arc Review – Bad Things Do Happen to Good People – Goodbye Nothing by Beck Sherman

Posted on September 9, 2013 by fundinmental

Goodbye Nothing by Beck Sherman has an awesome cover. Even in it’s simplicity, it holds tremendous menace, but doesn’t even begin to portray the darkness that is to come. If you like Stephen King and Dean Koontz, you are going to love Beck Sherman. So, folks, grab hold tight because this is going to be a very bumpy ride.

I downloaded Goodbye Nothing by Beck Sherman and told myself to just check it, DO NOT READ anything. I have others I need to do first and I knew if I read even the first paragraph, I wouldn’t want to stop until it was over. I have read Revamped by Beck Sherman and her writing is so fantastic, I knew this would be just as good. Oh, heck, hope the authors waiting for my reviews will forgive me. The release is coming up and I feel I just have to read this now. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. ^_^

SYNOPSIS:

A New Adult Horror Thriller

Since the night of the accident, Cain Emmerick has felt different. Empty. What was important to him—family, friends, his job—doesn’t matter anymore. His new life revolves around that Nothing inside of him and the extraordinary highs he gets from committing random acts of violence.

Seventeen-year-old Joey Morgan is blind, but that doesn’t stop her from seeing. Something bad is about to happen. Something that could tear her world apart. For Joey, college life isn’t quite turning out like she planned, because before good grades, fitting in, and love, comes survival.

From the author of Revamp comes a delightfully gruesome roller-coaster ride of a book.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Review of Goodbye Nothing by Beck Sherman

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Things couldn’t get better for Cain, until……”Too bad. So sad.”

Uh oh. I see it coming. I think this is gonna be bad for someone.

Lacey, his five year old daughter told Cain, “Daddy you lied. The bad dream came true.”

Life flashed before Cain’s eyes, then he felt Nothing.

OMG. No way. WTF? NO! NO! I never saw that coming and it is so far past horrible that I can’t take any more. Okay, that’s it Beck. I’m gonna go mow the lawn now while I process the unimaginable evil you just made me read and prepare myself for more.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Goodbye Nothing by Beck Sherman is a paranormal horror story that goes so far into the dark abyss of evil that I am sitting here with my jaw hanging open thinking….I can’t even think of what to say. I am stunned, speechless.

Beck Sherman’s writing is excellent and grabs me from the first page, never letting me go. I took a couple breaks in reading to absorb the story because I was so shocked and appalled at what was happening. It made be want to weep and rage, to strike out at the evil and demand that it be undone. I am always amazed at an author when they come up with something so shocking, dark and evil, that I can’t even come up with the words to describe it. I never would have went there and I don’t know how Beck Sherman got there either.

I laughed all the way through the first chapter. It starts out so happy, cute and normal – the neighbor in his short pink bathrobe and his hairy legs sticking out, going out to pick up his paper and Cain finding his car keys in the freezer. Have you ever done that? No fibbing now.

The suspense and anticipation has me sitting on the edge of my seat. I just know something bad is coming. I don’t know what. I don’t know when. But it will come, that I know.

There is graphic violence with gruesome, blood and guts horror, that left me breathless. The monster we fear can be the guy next door. That scares me more than the Vampire or Werewolf lurking in the novels I read.

Cain is not a morning person. I smiled, because neither am I, even though I am up before daylight most of the the time. I love to listen as the world comes alive around me. Just don’t talk to me or even look at me for an hour. I may bite. Then I read about blood sucking vampires and psycho murderers and serial killers. LOL I love it.

Romance. I knew there would be hiccups, but my heart broke, right along with Joey’s. That age old issue of communication rears its ugly head. When the characters, just like real people, do not communicate, things can get royally fucked up.

Beck Sherman gives a guy a Pink Panther tatoo. I love Pink Panther. She mentions Nascar, when Cain chose a 1967 black Dodge Charger for his car. I always love hearing about the cars characters drive. These added tidbits make her writing exceptional. Such details make a book go from great to awesome. I love it.

The dialogue is fantastic. I loved the bantering tone and humor. It made me go from laughing one minute, to shock and utter disgust the next.

It is these things that makes it easy to relate to the characters. They come alive because of their foibles.

Joey is going to college for photography, even though she is legally blind. She sees bright colors and shapes, plus her best friend, Ren, helps her whenever he can. Will they be more than friends?

Joey carries her camera everywhere she goes, as if it is an appendage. I can relate. I do the same thing.

Beck Sherman spends some time telling of Joey taking photographs of a bench……There is a lot more to it, but you will have to find out for yourself. I love taking photographs of benches with

Grand Canyon, Mr Wonderful (c) Sherry Fundin

or without people.

Grand Canyon (c) Sherry Fundin

Cain was a super nice guy, a great husband and father – until he RAN into Billy.

Life sucked for Billy. People only messed with him once. And right now, he wanted to make someone pay.

Hospital receptionist – nurse Nazi. Some people, you give them a little power and it goes to their head. I call them Nazi’s – like the mean nurse, the rude flight attendant………

Beck Sherman mentions the Book of Shadows and an athame. The only reason I know what she is talking about is because I love to watch the Charmed TV show. I never watched it when it was on, but now I watch the reruns in the early hours of the morn. Not a lot to choose from that I like to watch, but Charmed comes on and then Supernatural.

QUOTES

“…stamp of little feet…sounds like 1000 children….just one.” 5 years old.

“… pine cones for show and tell.” So darn cute.

Barbie head with grass in her hair. “Play nicer with Barbie, okay?”

“Suited Road Runners..Beep Beep”

“Joey enjoyed reading a good book slowly, hanging on every well written word, flipping them over in her mind, tasting each like it was a savory meal and she a starving castaway.” How beautiful is that? Me? I’m a fast reader, racing through the pages, even though I know I will hate it when the last page is read!

Here’s to the men we love. Here’s to the men who love us. If the men we love, don’t love us, fuck the men and here’s to us!”

Cheers and happy reading!

5 STARS – Would Buy It For Them (lol)

I gotta tell you about this, oh and this. You are not going to believe this and it stays with me a long time after the reading is done. Okay, I know I didn’t tell you anything, but YOU will want to read the story to find out for yourself.

Beck Sherman leaves me clamoring for more.

I received Goodbye Nothing from Beck Sherman in return for an honest and unbiased review. I would have reviewed it anyway, after having read her excellent first book Revamp. To see my 5 STAR Review and more about Revamp, keep scrolling down.

MY 5 STAR REVIEW OF REVAMP

To get your copy, simply click on the cover below.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

FOR THREE DAYS, IT WAS DARK.

News reporters scrambled. This was the biggest story to come along in weeks.

.
They called it a blackout.

.
The last one was in New York City in 2003, but this one was different, special, because the grids in six major cities across the country had been fried, kaput, see-you-next-Sunday. Everyone with some jurisdiction blamed each other, and when there was no one left to blame, terrorism rode in on its gallant steed.

.
It was the media’s fault. They were so busy stuffing fanatical Muslims with a penchant for Allah and decapitations down the American citizen’s throat, that they never saw it coming. I guess I shouldn’t be too hard on them.

They were partially right.

.
It was terror after all, but a whole new kind. And when the lights came back on, things had changed.

The dark had brought us visitors.

“[Revamp is] a giddy satire on all things American and yet, at the same time, a kind of homage to the traditional vampire book…the words flow delightfully in this story. In fact, I sucked up the words.” 4 out of 5 stars, Phil Semler, San Francisco Book Review

Grand Finale Wrapup for Shudder by Samantha Durante

Posted on September 7, 2013 by fundinmental

Samantha Durante has written another hit. Shudder, Book II of the Stitch Trilogy continues where Stitch left off. I can hardly wait to see where Stuck, Book III of the Stitch Trilogy will go.

The Highlight Tour with Prism Book Tours

& Samantha’s Summer Tour

Shudder

348 pages

Published June 15, 2013

It’s only been three days, and already everything is different.

Paragon is behind her, but somehow Alessa’s life may actually have gotten worse. In a wrenching twist of fate, she traded the safety and companionship of her sister for that of her true love, losing a vital partner she’d counted on for the ordeal ahead. Her comfortable university life is but a distant memory, as she faces the prospect of surviving a bleak winter on the meager remains of a ravaged world. And if she’d thought she’d tasted fear upon seeing a ghost, she was wrong; now she’s discovering new depths of terror while being hunted by a deadly virus and a terrifying pack of superhuman creatures thirsting for blood.

And then there are the visions.

The memory-altering “stitch” unlocked something in Alessa’s mind, and now she can’t shake the constant flood of alien feelings ransacking her emotions. Haunting memories of an old flame are driving a deep and painful rift into her once-secure relationship. And a series of staggering revelations about the treacherous Engineers – and the bone-chilling deceit shrouding her world’s sorry history – will soon leave Alessa reeling…

I enjoyed the merging of genre and thought it was a unique twist on sci-fi and dystopia, with a little paranormal aspect until we learn otherwise.

The one constant thought that kept coming at me while I was reading Shudder was the originality of it. I remember feeling the exact same way while I was reading Stitch.

Review

Oh, my! Dystopia at its finest! A quick word on Stitch (book 1): It had been a while since I’d read what it was about so I just started reading. It seemed like a nice time travel romance with a hint of something else and then BAM!, in came the dystopia element. At that point, I couldn’t put it down…

– Fundinmental – Painstakingly Plotted World

The complexity of the plot and the dynamics have you wondering what exactly Samantha has in her mind to be able to imagine this complex world. I never one time imagined that what happens in the book could actually happen but now the idea is planted firmly in my mind. It is a little freaky. – Review at Cynthia Shepp Book Reviews & Editing

Review:

Shudder… has so many things going on that, at times, I was torn about where I wanted the story to go.

30 – Literary Meanderings – Top Ten Raving Fan Moments!

Shudder is one of the best dystopians I’ve read so far! It’s so intense, so captivating. There’s a lot in it, and it’s so well written. The action, the suspense, the thrill… All of it will leave you begging for more. I know I am! Samantha, you’ve really set the bar with this one. I enjoyed every second of it. ~ Review at City of Books

31 – My Devotional Thoughts – More Crushing On Characters!

Isaac Sttich Trilogy

Interview with Isaac at Always YA at Heart

– Green Mountain Couple – More Vile Villainy!

“The memory alteration research mentioned some, well, unfortunate side effects…” – Guest Post at Crys Book Reviews

Review

I absolutely LOVE LOVED this book. It was one of those books that I picked up and didn’t want to set back down even after it was finished.

Sept. 1 – The Book Rogue – Review

Some things were not that unusual for a Dystopian, but there were also some shocking aspects — in the regard that I don’t find them too absurd to actually happen, like right now. Genius and insanity are utterly and truly a very fine line that tends to blur a lot.

Quote:

“What we haven’t told you yet–“

“– is that the outbreak wasn’t exactly a mistake.”

Diamonds are a dog’s best friend.

Harper Sinclair discovers that her champion, award-winning standard poodle, Ch.

Harper calls the robbery division of the NYPD and reports the thefts. The detective they send is surly and tough with a pair of brown eyes that make even this calm, cool socialite’s lungs claw for air.

Rough and tumble Detective Caleb Shaw has better things to do than run over to the penthouse of a frigging socialite to find a frigging collar for a frigging pampered poodle—award winning or not.
