YES! So much yes!

The Plumbers! A zombie read I will go back to time and time again!

Liam and Pierce have officially become some of my all time favourite characters. Two best friends, extremely snarky but they just understand each other, you know? Honestly they may have the best friendship around!

Liam’s wife also fits into this friendship perfectly. I hate saying this….it’s so cliché…but….they are relationship goals! Irene is so cheeky and knows exactly how to put that smile on Liam’s face and you can just tell how much they adore each other. Irene and Pierce also get along so well, they have so much in common, making the perfect character trio!

The world they are living is so bizarre! Liam and Pierce head out each day as if its a normal work day, helping their clients with all their plumbing needs, while becoming these freaking awesome zombie killing machines.

I am amazed on how much fun, gore and hilarious moments Terry was able to pack into this B-rated Horror flick in book form! I most definitely need to get my hands on a physical copy of this and so much more of his work!

Highly recommend this read! Unless vulgar suggestions, etc bother you. Than I would not suggest this read. The humour in this novella may not be for everyone.

Thank you so much to Terry for sending me an e-copy to read a review. Oh and PS the audio book was also done SO well. The narrator did such a phenomenal job!

Can’t wait to dive into more of Terry’s work!

4 out of 5 stars!

Don’t go out after dark!

Jon seems like a simple character but the further into the story you go you find out just how complex he is!

When the Sky Goes Dark starts off as a slow burn, getting to know your main character and what he’s all about but it’s not long and before you know it all chaos breaks loose. People are dropping left and right but the most terrifying thing happens when the sky goes dark!

Honestly and I say this will 100 positivity! The moment I jumped into this read I felt it read like a B-rated horror film…. and I was ALL for it! So much going on, mayhem everywhere, people going bonkers but yet Oliver snuck in the perfect amount of humour! As the story went on we didn’t completely lose the B-rated vibes but it shifted into more of a deeper, heartfelt story when Jon was searching for his loved ones and fellow survivors while feeling all the pain and suffering. People fighting to survive, doing anything they needed to do, even finding themselves doing things they could never see themselves doing… all in order to live through another night.

Jon has to learn how to survive keeping himself and hopefully those around him safe. Jumping into this role that’s not his usual self, you get to see his quirks and true personality traits shine though. As I mentioned he became a very complex character and where he may have been very predictable at time, others you had absolutely no idea where he was going to go with it!

Jon’s journeys and the people he comes across only become more intense and it’s almost as if he starts to loose his own sanity.

I highly recommend this read if you are into those end of the world, apocalyptic type reads. I can’t thank Oliver enough for sending me a copy to read and review. I look forward to more of his work in the future.

The Slave Players is definitely a mix of some truly heavy topics.

Megan Allen has created a whirlwind of emotions with this read. Among all the racism and corruption there is a light that is shone through and with it comes some of the most heart warming moments.

The story starts out with such a gut wrenching scene that leads this community into complete chaos. I found the roll switch where the black took power, enslaved the white and the resurrection of the KKK (of sorts) to be a powerful touch. It really puts a different perspective on things and shows all the sadness that was forced upon African Americans during slavery.

Megan’s writing is absolutely brilliant. The story flows from one perspective to the next smoothly, the characters are memorable and the story line is set up perfectly. I found this read to be absolutely compelling and yet extremely heart breaking.

The only thing I was missing in the end, was closure for those who’s lives were lost at the beginning of the story. I wanted to know that true justice was served.

If you are looking for a read that will impact your emotions and will stay with you for a long time, this is one for you.

What a unique read!

I would be lying it I didn’t say when I first read the synopsis I was sceptical on how I would feel. Not for any other reason than… I do love animals but sadly I do also eat meat. I don’t think I could ever kill my meal, buying my meat in stores is enough for me. I guess you could call me a “Cellophane Hunter”. I honestly thought a read with this topic would be so hard to push through but surprisingly it wasn’t and it was so very good. Although I can’t say that I don’t consider nearly every day to becoming a vegan since I read The Meat Hunter a few weeks back.

Again Megan’s writing is flawless. Although The Meat Hunter does get very gruesome..(maybe not best to read if you get queasy easy) but it was packed full of so much humour and the research and details was on point. I learnt so much about the meat industry that has left me completely shocked.

Molly was one fantastic character! She was so confident and bold yet she had this innocent side to her and she most certainly knew when to put each of those traits to action. I grew to really love her as a character, add Michael Lair’s character into the picture and that made for the perfect story with some great twists and turns.

The Meat Hunter truly is one of a kind and I couldn’t recommend it enough. Of course I repeat… only if you have a strong stomach! It is so detailed, some of the moments may not sit right for you.

A ᖴᗩIᖇY-TᗩᒪE ᗯOᑎᗪEᖇᒪᗩᑎᗪ!

The Slug Queen Chronicles is packed full of fairy-tale goodness! From Santa to the Tooth-fairy to The House with Chicken Legs… My son and I adored this read.

Be sure to have your concentration hat on when you read this fabulous series. The Slug Queen Chronicles introduces so many characters through-out and it may get a bit confusing at times but it is so worth it in the end.

S.O. Thomas has created a fascinating world with the most lovable characters. Cricket meets some of the most incredible creatures in this world and the most amazing friendships bloom throughout. I won’t say who our favourite characters were, because I don’t want to give anything away. You will just have to read it for yourself!

The Slug Queen Chronicles has got to be one of the most exciting, vivid, colorful worlds I have dived into for some time. Such a brilliant concept and S.O. Thomas executed it perfectly!

My son and I are in love with this world and all of it’s creatures! We both highly recommend this middlegrade read and are so thankful to S.O. Thomas for sending us an e-copy for review!

YES! This is what I am talking about!

I don’t know about you but growing up I was ghost obsessed. Late on a Friday or Saturday night my family and friends would gather, turn off all the lights, grab a flashlight and creep around the house looking to experience the perfect paranormal moment.

I now get to experience all that same fun with my two boys. It becomes on heck of a great game, on the regular here in our home.

So… what better than a middle-grade where kids are doing just that?!? and they have no idea what they are in for.

When Diana reached out to see if I would be willing to review one of the books from her Ghosters series, I was super excited and I knew exactly who I would be reading it with.

I’ll just put it out there…. my eldest son and I LOVED this read.

Ghosters was exhilarating!

The characters are so well done. Theresa is suffering the older sibling battle after a huge loss in the family and feels she needs to stay strong for her younger brother Joey. Yet she also feels her Dad doesn’t seem to love her as much. When truly she and Joey just have no idea exactly what is going on with their father and his own inner demons he is fighting. Than Joey is this sweet, innocent, easy going brother who looks up to his sister and is so happy to spend time with her. In comes Theresa’s new ghost obsessed friend Kerry to stir up the mix. What a perfect selection of characters!

Diana also kept this middle grade read so gripping by leaving the true reveal till the very, very end. Leaving you to devour this read, needing to know exactly what happens.

Ghosters will have you stir with emotions throughout. Yet in the end Diana pieces everything together perfecting, bringing the whole story together and releasing all of those emotions.

I must add as a mother reading this along side my eldest that I found it very refreshing how Diana not only brought up the topic of loss of a loved one(s) but also notes some mental health. She did it in such a gentle, tasteful way, not to overwhelm a middle-grade reader.

Extremely well done and very entertaining.

We have added the rest of the Ghosters series onto our wish list to pick up in the future.

Currently in the series:

#1: Ghosters #2: Revenge of the Library Ghost #3: Secrets of the Bloody Tower #4: Ghosters go Camping.

Also please note, you do not need to read the series in order. So take a peak, read through the synopsis and see which one will be your first victim!

Enjoy! Happy reading.

Thank you so much Diana for sending us an e-copy to read and review.

We can’t wait to dive into more.

5 out of 5 stars!

Better You Believe is a collection of short stories. All urban legends Tony has come across over the years, while on his own adventures.

Nothing better than the perfect scary story as a kid. What we may not realise at that age, is a lot of the stories that have circled around come from urban legends our parents or family members have heard.

Tony not only brought attention to urban legends I myself had never heard of. He brought them to life, putting his own little spin on them. These are tales that will stick with me for a very long time, perhaps even for life.

These bizarre, creepy, strange stories are very fast paced and will leave you itching for more of each.

Some of the characters are so relate-able and you can’t help but feel emotions along side them, some of these myths will come across very cheeky, but know that there is a good life lesson to learn in each. So be sure to pay attention to the underlining message.

Tony’s writing is so enjoyable. No added filler, no drawn out sections, great story development, the characters are done really well and as I mentioned each story is very fast paced. You will fly through this collection in no time while being entertained the whole time, you may even be shocked by some of the twists that come along.

Yes! Of course I would recommend Better You Believe.

Sour is a mix of some of the urban legends you may have read in “Better You Believe” all wrapped together in one perfect creepy bundle.

The moment I started to dive into Sour I thought… YES! This is it. I wanted more of these stories and I am getting just that.

Sam has to takes some drastic steps to try and rectify a huge loss after some very poor choices but again things may never be the same and might be better off just left alone.

I really enjoyed Sour, so happy I picked it up immediately after Better You Believe. It helped satisfy some of the thirst I had for more on these legends.

Again I would recommend Sour as well! I may even recommend reading them one after the other so everything is fresh in your mind….. Your welcome!

A unique read!

I am a fan of odd, eerie, gruesome reads and The Scrimshaw Worm hit on those themes well.

Your main character, Will seems like a really good guy. He will protect those that just can’t or won’t protect themselves, he also has a soft spot in his heart for some in his life. After a harsh yet passionate act Will’s choices have forced him to serve as a doctor on a Whaling Voyage, even though he promised himself never again. During his journey on the ship they save a women who seems to be a damsel in distress from a dyer situation. Shortly after, crew members start to disappear, some are attacked, some are killed and left for the rest of the crew to find and yet no one knows what’s happening.

The Scrimshaw Worm leaves you antsy to know what or who is attacking the crew.

I enjoyed The Scrimshaw Worm and I am happy I picked it up.

I only have a couple very small reasons why I took a star off my rating and please keep in mind these are my own opinions and you may not feel the same when picking up this read for yourself. These reasons also don’t take away from the story line, characters, plot or Daniel’s writing.

I found the down time in-between the action, although short and not drawn out, was very slow. I wanted to rush through those moments in order to get back to the action. Again this is most likely just me and it may show that the book was well written because I obviously wanted more. Also the down time was not just filler, it was information that was crucial to the story so I had to slow myself down and take it all in. My only other reason was that you got such a strong glimpse of who Will was back on the mainland and a sneak peak into one relationship in particular he held and I found that I missed not having that closure at the end of the story to see how things were off the waters.

All in all I would recommend this read. I think it will be unlike any of the novels you have in your collection currently.

5 out of 5 stars!

The Beast of Bodmin was absolutely hair-raising!

Edmondson had me hooked from the very first page.

Thrillers are my jam!… but putting a spin on it like this, man or beast? What a ride! Knowing a murderer was on the loose was nerve wrecking enough. Not knowing if it was human or some hungry animal had you at the edge of your seat.

Not only is Mark’s writing so easily devoured but the story and characters were executed perfectly. Your main character, Jo had already been through so much which only made her stronger, while also showing her vulnerable side. Although Jo is about to go through SO much more! This creates the perfect protagonist for the reader. Someone you can truly relate with and start to gain some type of emotions for, causing you to become a bit anxious to see if Jo survives in the end.

The characters that surrounded and supported Jo were also so lovely. This novel is truly character driven in the best way possible.

I found myself constantly trying to crack the case while reading, getting into the true mindset of a detective. At times I truly felt I had figured out exactly who or what was committing these murders. Just as I got to that point there was a large plot twist! This was the real gem of this story! … The Beast of Bodmin never got boring!

This will be a favourite of mine for years to come.

Thank you so much Mark for sending me a copy.

Mark did not request that I review his book but of course I wanted to! So many great things to say.

Can’t wait to see what Mark Edmondson comes up with next!
