Untouchable by Sibel Hodge

The awesome cover for Untouchable by Sibel Hodge lured me in. I love the thoughts I have as I look at it…wondering…who’s blood is that?

I will be reviewing Untouchable by Sibel Hodge on 9.4.16, so if this thriller/suspense, vigilante justice book looks like it’s for you…READ ON!

Nice doggy…Goodreads  /  Amazon

MY TEASE

Crying wouldn’t do any good. Crying wouldn’t find out the truth about what had happened to Jamie.

(25% on Kindle)

I love vigilante stories. The thrills and chills keep me in suspense and at 25% into Untouchable by Sibel Hodge, I think it is just getting started.

GOODREADS BLURB:  A Conspiracy. A cover-up. And a whistle-blower… You think you know who to trust? You’re wrong. Untouchable is a chillingly dark psychological thriller from the No 1 Bestselling Author of Look Behind You.

It’s Maya and Jamie’s anniversary, and she waits with excitement for him to return home for a celebratory dinner. There’s a knock at the door. It’s the police. Jamie has been found hanging in a local wood.

His death is ruled a suicide, but Maya doesn’t believe Jamie would take his own life. Something isn’t right. Someone has broken into her house. Someone is watching her. And someone has gone to great lengths to cover up what Jamie was doing before he died.

Maya’s grief turns to suspicion, and as she begins to investigate the weeks leading up to Jamie’s death, her trail leads her to a place known as “The Big House” and the horrific secrets within. Secrets people will stop at nothing to keep hidden. People linked to the heart of the Establishment who think they’re untouchable.

Now Maya has a dangerous decision to make. How far is she prepared to go to reveal the truth?

Jezebel by Gordon A Kessler

I love dogs and when I saw this cover I knew I had to have it.

I bought this some time ago, but am just getting around to reading it.

Nice doggy…12193178Goodreads  /  Amazon

MY TEASE

Something crashed against the boards. Tricia’s eyes widened. She froze, too scared to move. An arm, covered in streams of red, flung over the top of the fence, directly in front of her. A face appeared, also bloody – Jimmy Lawrence’s face.

(page 153 in hardcover)

Jezebel may have you thinking twice as you crawl in bed with your dog at your feet.

GOODREADS BLURB:  Sleep lightly tonight…

A madman has come to town seeking a diabolical revenge and large dogs begin attacking their masters for no apparent reason and with heinous results.

Animal Control Director Tony Parker must find out why and stop the murderous attacks. Meanwhile, Jezebel, a huge black Great Dane has killed her master and is loose, terrorizing the city and stalking Parker and his family. Parker and Sarah Hill, his beautiful and seductive young assistant, attempt to unravel the mystery and stop the terrible carnage while dealing with their own demons and lusty desires.

The attacks must be stopped. Jezebel must be found-and soon, you see–there is one other complication. Parker seems to have come down with an annoying little virus. No, it’s not one of those irritating summer colds. It’s certain death.

She’s a murderess, huge and black as a hell-bound night.

Beware. Jezebel is on the loose!

Life or death?
It all seems to be the same for Grace…

Some of us have been there before — falling for the hot, popular jock who just so happens to be dating the hot, popular girl in school.

Your snarky-but-always-right bestie insists you make a move, but you’re not so much into putting yourself out there.

Then it happens, and suddenly you find yourself eating a cat on your neighbor’s porch.

No? Never happened to you?

Well, Grace Watkins can’t say the same. Her hunger is growing with each day that passes and her urges are getting harder to control.
No one can explain why her body is changing, except one man.

Joyland by Stephen King

I won this gem quite some time ago from Fiktshun, in a box of books full of goodies that I slowly am picking my way through.

Add me to Goodreads

MY TEASE

“Okay,” I said, ‘but don’t call me kiddo. That’s what he calls me.” I jerked my head toward Horror House.

(page 148 of paperback)

GOODREADS BLURB

College student Devin Jones took the summer job at Joyland hoping to forget the girl who broke his heart. But he wound up facing something far more terrible: the legacy of a vicious murder, the fate of a dying child, and dark truths about life—and what comes after—that would change his world forever.

A riveting story about love and loss, about growing up and growing old—and about those who don’t get to do either because death comes for them before their time—Joyland is Stephen King at the peak of his storytelling powers. With all of the emotional impact of King masterpieces such as The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption, Joyland is at once a mystery, a horror story, and a bittersweet coming-of-age novel, one that will leave even the most hard-boiled reader profoundly moved.

I will be reviewing Heaven Enough by Ken La Salle on Friday so be sure and check it out. This is a heartbreaking, yet uplifting novel. The ending blew me away!

Check out the cool cover.

How does it make you feel?

Heaven Enough

MY TEASE

And something deep inside of his chest broke.

(1% on Kindle)

I thought Heaven Enough would be just another love story, but I have enjoyed Ken La Salle’s writing so I thought I would give it a shot. Even though there are no supernaturals or murder, it kept my attention. Heaven Enough is full of things that made me think this could be someone’s real life story. If you want to laugh, cry and rage at the world, this book is for you.

GOODREADS BLURB

Is a poem about longing, about wishing for something more. “What would it be like if I had heaven enough?” it reads.

Matt Murphy reads these words for the first time at his wife’s funeral. After a death shrouded with mystery, it is the first time he learns that she wrote poetry. He and Diva were married for nearly twenty years, yet he did not “know” her. A poet and lover of culinary delights, she is struck by a car and killed instantly—randomly—on the wrong side of town.

When her brother, the “monk,” appears for the funeral, Matt is set on an unprecedented course. The two find Diva’s computer filled with preparations to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. Over 2600 miles from Mexico to Canada…and she was leaving without her husband.

Matt takes it upon himself to hike the trail and sprinkle her ashes along the way. What happens in the first two hours is dumbfounding.

What happens next changes his life forever…

MY TEASE

#1

“I’ve talked to Alice, remember. If I can do it, so can you.”

#2

“Just because this is hard to believe doesn’t mean it isn’t true. Fact one, we want to save a man’s life. Fact two, Alice is dead. Fact three…”

(27% in Kindle)

 About The Book:

Emma never dreamed of being a super-sleuth. In her mind, she’s more Scooby Doo than Nancy Drew and when her nosy neighbor, Mrs. Perkins, drags her to an anniversary party to solve a mystery, she rolls her eyes, buys a box of chocolates and hops in the car.

What’s a party without an attack on its host—or more accurately on the host’s grandson, sparking an allergic reaction and moving the party to the hospital waiting room. Suddenly, everyone is a suspect. Emma and Mrs. Perkins, along with Great Aunt Alice (a spirit with boundary issues who keeps stepping into Emma’s body like a new dress and playing matchmaker), dive into an investigation that almost gets Emma killed along with the man they are trying to protect. With so many reasons to kill him and so much to be gained if he died, Emma and Mrs. Perkins must unravel the tenuous ties that point to every member of his family as potential killers.

Even if it means going back to the psych ward, Emma will protect her friend and this innocent man. What good is freedom if it’s haunted with guilt?

About the Author:

Anna Simpson lives near the Canadian-US border with her family. Even though she’s lived in several places in British Columbia, her free spirit wasn’t able to settle down until she moved back to her hometown.

She is easy to find though, if you know the magic word — emaginette. Do an internet search using it and you’ll see what I mean. 🙂

I gotta share this.

VROOOM

Jeff Gordon has always been my favorite Nascar driver.

HE WON!!!!!! the race in Martinsville.

It was a race that went right to the checkered flag.

A true nail biter, stand up and yell at the TV moment. Can you see me *happy dancing*

He is the first racer to be locked into The Championship in Homestead.

There will only be four and I am wishing him all the best.

He is retiring from full time racing after this year. 😥

For a couple of laughs, and since it has been a while, I thought I would share this again.

SYNOPSIS

Goodreads Blurb:  Are the voices in your head listening to you? Oh yes. Yes, they are listening to you. They know what you’re saying. Sometimes, they talk back. Sometimes, they sing along. Sometimes, they write children’s book with hidden messages placed in plain sight with a neon bow because, hey, a little style never hurt anyone. (This, of course, ignores the Great Style Massacre of 1973.)

Welcome to “Fun To Grow On” – the new children’s book series for adults. These books are not for little children or big babies. Each story is filled with blood and violence, sex and swearing – Seriously. This series is for adults. These are not parodies of children’s books but original stories for adults who still have a lot to learn… as do we all.

“Fun To Grow On” presents the very first book in the series… Cookies: Sluts of the Snack World!

When a cookie gets herpes, he decides to ask God for a cure. Can he find God in time?
Someone fed a chocolate chip cookie equal parts of blinding self-awareness, cranberry vodka, and shrooms and asked him to tell his story. Here it is, with all the pageantry you would expect from a cookie… which is probably a whole lot less than you would desire.
