Clones, Twins…Nope – Giveaway – Everywhere It’s You by C B Salem

Posted on July 8, 2015 by fundinmental

SBB_TourBanner_EverywhereItsYou copy

For a change, the cover and title were not what made me want to share this book with you. It was the blurb. Imagine you are looking for someone, but he appears everywhere you look, as if cloned.

Will the real Landon Tatum please stand up?

Add me to Goodreads now.

EVERYWHERE IT’S YOU by C.B. Salem

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

BLURB

Legal investigator Kristina Andersen has been drugged.

It started when she came into work and was tasked with finding the firm’s biggest client: the intense, enigmatic pharmaceuticals billionaire Landon Tatum.

She’d just had a sexy encounter with him while working a birthday party undercover at a seedy strip club the previous night. Now he’s missing, and she needs to find him.

Problem: the drug coursing through her veins makes it so every man she sees looks like the man she’s looking for.

And that’s just the start of it.

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

EXCERPT

Her last-night’s-self walked to the front of the room, balancing gracefully on very high heels as the first guest arrived. Then another bout of nausea washed over her, fogging her mind. Her eyes had to be lying.

Landon Tatum had just entered the room.

This was wrong. He’d come in later, she knew it. Fifteen minutes before the birthday boy, maybe twenty. There had been more than a dozen people there. Even Fordelli, the man she had come to watch, had arrived first. She’d been watching very carefully and this wasn’t the kind of thing she’d forget.

He wore a black suit, black shirt and a silver tie. That wasn’t right either. But the clean-cut, brown hair, the thin-lipped mouth, the dark eyes, they were as she’d remembered. The perfect, sharp cheek bones with a slightly crooked nose that looked like it had been broken in a fight once and never fixed. It was the kind of “blemish” she couldn’t take her eyes off of.

She breathed shallowly. This was wrong. When had she become this attracted to him? Until recently, she’d thought of him as an attractive guy. Not mouth-watering can’t-take-my-eyes-off. That hadn’t happened to her since high school.

She watched herself approach to offer him a drink. Then the next guest came in, to the right of where her eyes had been focused.

Tatum again. Sharp cheeks. Slightly crooked nose. Dark, perceptive eyes.

Another black suit, black shirt, but this time a blue tie. She flicked her eyes between the two of them. They were both there. She was seeing two of him.

Can they save the Dome – Hunter by Sally Ann Melia

Posted on July 7, 2015 by fundinmental

Sally Ann Melia caught me totally off guard with this awesome story of two young boys lives, in the Guy Erma and the Son of Empire series.

I have read and reviewed the first book, Kidnap, and fell in love with it., so now I am sharing Hunter, Part II in the series. You can see my review for Kidnap HERE.

Add to Goodreads

Cover: Nevena, Sugarbricks

MY REVIEW

Spoiler Alert: Even though Hunter is Part Two of the Guy Erma and the Son of Empire series, I have tried to keep my comments general to keep from giving away any of the goodies contained between the pages.

Hunter is Part Two of the Guy Erma and the Son of Empire series. If you are a fan of action and adventure with some science fiction thrown in, this is a series for you. Each book picks up where the other left off. I loved Kidnap, Part One, so much, that I grabbed Hunter and started to read as soon as the package arrived.

I have watched movies that enable me to visualize the world Sally Ann Melia has created with her detailed and descriptive writing. Also, the artwork by Sally Dickson will help you see things as they really are, whether it be a character or one of the creatures.

We have a Dome, flying discs, fashion shows and models, cysects, poison pills, borgs and so much more.

There is political intrigue, betrayal, telepathy, thought control, even a telepathic shapeshifter that you better keep your eye on.

Sometimes your enemy will be your friend and ally, so do not be too quick to judge.

Would a romance among an unlikely pair save the Dome?

I love the world of Freyna that Sally Ann Melia has created. The characters, even though they are young, are brave and heroic. Even the bad ones are well developed and end up winning me over, except for the evil….well, I don’t want to spoil anything so I will leave it to you to find out.

Sally Ann Melia’s imaginative and descriptive writing describing the fight is amazing and I couldn’t put the book down until the last word was read. I have the next one, Part Three, Exile, and I want to pick it up right now, but it is late and tomorrow is another day.

My only complaint, Hunter seemed to start out a bit slow, but the ending was fantastic!

I received Hunter by Sally Ann Melia in return for an honest review.

4 Stars

SYNOPSIS

How dare you? How dare you hold me captive?

13-year-old Teodor was taken by the vicious Battle Borgs of Dome and now he must fight to survive.

13-year-old Guy Erma has been offered a chance to fight for his place in the Dome Elite. Only who will be his opponent? Will he face a Battle Borg of Dome?

Once they were heroes. These men died as heroes in battle. Now they have been reincarnated as the fearsome vanguard of the Dome Elite. They are the Battle Borgs of Dome.

Two boys as different as any two boys might be. They face the same enemy, the same danger, the same fear – dare they trust each other?

Giveaway – The Violet Crow by Michael Sheldon

Posted on July 6, 2015 by fundinmental

Welcome to my stop for Violet Crow by Michael Sheldon.

MBB_TourBanner_TheVioletCrow copy

I love the wicked cover and the premise of the book.

The paranormal and a mystery, sounds like a winner.

Add to Goodreads now.

THE VIOLET CROW by Michael Sheldon

BLURB

How do you solve the ultimate mystery, where the murder victim has no identity and there’s no physical evidence? You go psychic—deep psychic—and hire Bruno X. Sure, you’re going to have to put up with some Yiddish trash talk and recycled borsht belt shtick. But he’s the only one who can who can stop the crime spree in the ordinarily placid Quaker community of Gardenfield, New Jersey.

Follow Bruno X in Michael Sheldon’s fictional debut, THE VIOLET CROW as he fends off rabid journalists and feckless politicians; untangles webs of deceit in Professor Littlejohn’s Deviant Behavior 101 class; reveals why the Quakers are still fighting over decades-old military medical experiments; and finally, uncovers the secrets of the biotechnology firm whose symbol is The Violet Crow.

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

EXCERPT

Introducing Gardenfield and Chief Buddy Black

The borough of Gardenfield is home to some 35,000 peaceful souls nestled in the friendly confines marked by Tiny’s Package Store to the north, the J. Kilmer Pub to the east, Lillian’s Tavern to the south, and the Tiki Lounge to the west. A Philadelphia suburb, it is a prosperous community with colonial roots and a variety of pretensions, including a prohibition on the sale of alcoholic beverages within Gardenfield proper. In fact, thirsty Gardenfielders simply have to drive past the town limits on any of the major roads, in order to enjoy a beer or a cocktail.

Buddy Black was not a drinking man by habit. Nor was he averse to dropping by a tavern from time to time, to see what the locals were up to and let off some steam after work. Tonight he made a beeline for Lillian’s. It had been a while. Lillian greeted him at the door. Rail thin and dyed blond, she appeared to be in her 60s and to subsist on nothing but whisky, cigarettes, and conversation. She welcomed Buddy with a hug. “Hi, hon. Nice to see you again. She’s expecting you.”

“How could she be expecting me? I only decided to come here 10 minutes ago.”

“We read the papers, too, y’know.”

“I’m that predictable…?” The Chief freed himself from Lil’s embrace and headed for the bar. “Daisy, did you really know I’d come here tonight?”

The woman behind the bar was dressed in tight jeans and a low-cut flower-print top. She was busy polishing a wine glass, and didn’t look up until she’d finished her task. Then she flashed a smile that was warmer than Lil’s rather spectral hug. “Buddy! I haven’t seen you since—what?—Bay of Pigs. It’s about time you came to see me.” Without asking she opened a bottle of Rolling Rock and set it down in front of the Chief.

ABOUT MICHAEL SHELDON

MediaKit_AuthorPhoto_TheVioletCrow Michael was born in Philadelphia and grew up in Haddonfield, New Jersey. His father was a dentist, which accounts for his sense of humor. His mother, a Jewish mother without peer, instilled in him the idea that the world doesn’t owe you a living—and a love of raw oysters and dry martinis. His training in the craft of storytelling came from reading the masters beginning with Chaucer and Rabelais, through Sterne, to MacDonald and Westlake

Emily Kemilman has some of the most fun and colorful covers. I am unable to resist picking up a freebie, whenever I see it. Check out Inviting Fire and fuonlyknew.

More trees and Green Grow the Rashes by William Meikle sounds like a fun read. I got this free for following his newsletter. I was already going to follow, so this is just a bonus. Check it out and let me know what you think.

I found this for free from Choosy Bookworm. If you don’t know about them, check them out for deals and freebies. Thanks Maggie and Choosy Bookworm.

NEW to fundinmental

I am a sucker for anything to do with trees, so all it took was the title, Puzzles Trees, and Thom Mark Shepard captured my interest. I found this through The Kindle Book Review. How much does what we watch affect us?

I normally try to stay away from trilogies because I rarely follow up on them, unless it is one of my favorite authors, and I miss the endings. All of these are out and available, so no waiting to read Dark Bayou by Nancy K Dupelchain and the Dark Trilogy.

P D Workman had Cynthia Has a secret free for his and Canada’s birthday. Very generous, PD and thanks a bunch.

~~~

FOR REVIEW

I picked up another Kathy Reichs novel, Speaking in Bones, from Net Galley. I can never pass by her novels.

As soon as I read the opening page, I knew I made the right choice in grabbing this book!

Review – Killer Treads by Anthony Renfro

Posted on July 4, 2015 by fundinmental

Anthony Renfro is spiffing up a lot of his short stories and giving them new covers.

Check out the latest for Killer Treads.

Add me to Goodreads now.

MY REVIEW

The delivery of the treadmill should have raised all the red warning flags to him.

I felt like shouting at Bob, “Don’t do it!”

“Don’t get on it!”

Oh no.

He did it.

Anthony Renfro took me down a horrid road, proving that if something seems too good to be true, it generally is.

Got five minutes?

How about a quick trip around the treadmill?

Anthony Renfro packs plenty of suspense and action in Killer Treads from the opening words.

A short story about a man who sees a flashy ad online advertising a twenty dollar treadmill. He buys the machine, too cheap to be scared, and realizes much to his dismay that this machine has a taste for blood. Big Bob better run like his life depends on it, because in many ways it does.

Reviews: 3 out of 5 stars: Kind of fun, kind of gory, and I liked it.

Giveaway – One Night by Lorhainne Eckhart

Posted on July 3, 2015 by fundinmental

One Night

by Lorhainne Eckhart

Series: Kate and Walker: Deadly Dangerous & Desired Series

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: June 30, 2015

New York Times & USA Today Bestselling Author Lorhainne Eckhart brings you ONE NIGHT, A high-stakes suspense and sizzling, red-hot romance!

A blind date goes deadly on a night she’ll never forget!

He’d died and gone to heaven.

Then the cold reality bit him as he stared at the naked woman—who had the curviest ass he’d ever seen in his twenty-eight years—next to him. Kate was lying on his bed, and her breathing was light. He wondered if, in fact, she’d fallen asleep. What the fuck was he thinking, screwing a woman he should be protecting? He didn’t even want to think about all the ethical boundaries he’d just crossed. He ripped off the condom and walked across the hall to the bathroom to dump it in the garbage. When he strode back into the bedroom, the bedside light was on, and Kate had crawled under the comforter.

He stood before her, naked, and she sat up, running her gaze over him. She wasn’t shy, and he could tell she appreciated what she saw. But then…hell, look at her! She had a pair of tits that could make a man howl, and her ass gave him enough to hang on to. She wasn’t a toothpick, she was a woman: curvy enough, strong enough that she could take him and keep up with him. He didn’t want to worry about a woman breaking under him.

There were times like now when he just wanted to ride a woman hard. It was satisfying. He didn’t want soft and easy. His life wasn’t made that way. He wasn’t made that way.

“No regrets,” he said to her. He didn’t ask, because the last thing he wanted was a woman having second thoughts after all was done.

“None, you?” she asked him, sliding her knees up and wrapping her arms around them.

He could smell her from where he was, and he felt himself hardening again. There were times when he could walk away satisfied after having a woman, but there was something about Kate and the way she watched him, so seductive and sensual, that stirred something in him. She wasn’t asking for a commitment. She had offered him her body, and he had taken it.

New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Lorhainne Eckhart’s books have been described as Longmire meets old-school Dallas, and she recently received the 2013 Readers’ Favorite Award for Romantic Suspense for her title Lost and Found. With over thirty five titles under her belt, her big family romance series have become a fan favorite. She is frequently a Top 100 bestselling author in multiple genres, such as romance, western, military and mystery/suspense. She has written multiple series, including The Outsider, Walk the Right Road, The Wilde Brothers, Saved, The Friessens, and her two newest additions, Married in Montana, and her high-stakes suspense and sizzling, red-hot romance series, Kate and Walker, Deadly, Dangerous and Desired.

You can chat with Lorhainne on Facebook (www.facebook.com/AuthorLorhainneEckhart, Twitter @LEckhart, and her Kick Ass Books Blog at http://kickassbooksblog.com/)

Review & Free Book ~ Demon Energy by Anthony Renfro

Posted on July 2, 2015 by fundinmental

Today is the last day to get this free, so pick up your copy HERE.

Anthony Renfro writes short horror stories that will have you looking over your shoulder and under your bed, twitching at every noise.

MY REVIEW

Got 5 or 10 minutes?

Do you like horror/religious stories?

Check out Demon Energy by Anthony Renfro.

Anthony’s inspiration for Demon Energy was Matthew 8:28 – 32 (HCBS).

A man is possessed by a thousand demons and all he could do is lay in bed as the demons had their way with him.

Three priests have come to save him.

As the priests fought to exorcize the demons, the demons negotiated a deal.

The pigs…

What an ending! I never saw it coming and I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

This story is worth reading for the ending alone!

Animated Animals. Pictures, Images and Photos 3 Stars

SYNOPSIS

1 Man – A 1000 Demons Possession. Redemption. Salvation. This short story is about one man tormented by evil, and his journey into the light.

Exp:

A man lay on a bed.

His dreams were vivid and strong–evil things done by evil beings haunted those dreams.

His soul felt lost, departed.

He wasn’t himself.

How long had he been this way?

How long had he suffered in this torment of a hellish nightmare?

He wasn’t sure.

A distant knock on the door.

No, it wasn’t a knock. It was pounding. It was the sound of breaking. The door shattered inward. He managed to turn his sweaty head, brown hair matted to his skin, face covered in a thick sweat, body covered in cuts and bruises–all self-inflicted by his fingernails and his own fists.

He felt his soul losing again. The demons were crawling around inside of him, pushing his soul back to the shadows. He had no choice but to watch. He was a passenger inside his own body.

The demons raised him into the air, levitated him for all to see. Then his small skinny frame started to spin like a pig in a roast. Spinning violently around and around and around and around, and then he stopped. He was now sideways, and looking at the crowd who had come to take him away. He hung there like a limp rag doll. His blue eyes were not his eyes. Those two orbs now belonged to the thousand demons who tormented him.

My Latest Fabulous Adventure!

Posted on July 2, 2015 by fundinmental

Summer is in full swing and the Fourth of July is rapidly approaching. If you are lucky, like me, family is arriving. Plans and preparations are being made.

Mr Wonderful, my hubby has taken time off from work to spend time with my family. The guys are gone today, on an all day fishing trip, so I have a moment to share a bit of what we have been doing so far.

Blue Angels Star (c) Sherry Fundin

Mr Wonderful works for the AA baseball team, in his second job. As a TV guy, he doesn’t have the usual 9 to 5 working day and he picks up any freelance work whenever he can. TV people are a strange breed and they have a passion for their work. One of the guys he works with is in the Navy and in the business of promoting the Blue Angels. His photography is amazing and we were given the VIP treatment at a recent practice session. My brother, Steve, is down from Michigan, so we were especially excited to be able to share this with him.

Me, Mike, Steve and Mr Wonderful at the Blues (c) Sherry Fundin)

Blues Collage 6/30/15 (c) Sherry Fundin

I felt as if the show was performed just for us!

Blues pilots (c) Sherry Fundin

As many times as I have seen the Blue Angels, this is the first time I have been able to meet the pilots.

Blue Angels pilots and us (c) Blue Angels photographer

Afterwards, we were given a tour of The Blues office area. We even stepped into the debriefing room.

I would like to send out a special thank you to Mike for sharing his time with us and making us feel important…

and to The Blues, thank you so much the sacrifices you make.

~~~

Our next stop was a visit to the Florabama, on the Florida/Alabama state line. Seems like something interesting is always going on here and this week it is a beached aircraft from the upcoming movie, “The U.S.S. Indianapolis: Men of Courage,” starring Nicolas Cage. The plane landed, the producers were able to get their shots, then the plane began taking on water. They beached it and now begins the process of salvaging the damaged plane.

We ended the day with a dip in the pool and boy were we ready for it. The weather was typical for Florida, hot, humid and hazy. The sun shines and the clouds dot the sky. Sometimes cloud cover is a blessing, the only shade available.

What have you been up to? Do you have any special plans for the Fourth of July?

Pretty Dark Nothing, Book I, by Heather L Reid is a horror novel that’s a bit different from the norm. Sure there are demons and a battle between good and evil, but we also have a psychic and an amnesiac (why an amnesiac is a story in itself). I am really on Book II, Pretty Dark Sacrifice of the Pretty Dark series. It is available for pre order, so if you like Pretty Dark Nothing, you won’t have long to wait.

TEASE ONE

It only took a second for the veil between reality and nightmare to rip.

TEASE TWO

Dragging Quinn through the splintered void, the fog suspended her in its web across the black abyss of the tunnel below, until, one by one, the tendrils unraveled and dissipated into the walls, leaving gravity to pull her into a long, terrifying free fall.(1% on Kindle)

SYNOPSIS

It’s been twenty three days since Quinn has slept for more than minutes at a time. Demons have invaded her dreams, stalking her, and whispering of her death. The lack of sleep and crippling fear are ruining her life. Energy drinks and caffeine pills don’t make a dent. When Quinn dozes off in the school hallway, Aaron, an amnesiac with a psychic ability, accidentally enters her nightmare. The demons are determined to keep them apart, and Aaron from discovering the secret locked away in his memory. Together, they could banish the darkness back to the underworld for good. That is, unless the demons kill them first.
