Little Heaven by Nick Cutter Review



~ ~ I was given this book by the publisher via netgalley for an honest review ~ ~


I found the first little bit of this book tended toward being a little boring but if you push through it does pick up and become more interesting. Unfortunately I would have to say that it is not the kind of book that managed to make me not want to roam around in the dark. However, looking at it through the eyes of someone who hasn't read too much horror and has high expectations I would have to say that it was well written and the characters were well fleshed out. I haven't read any of Nick Cutters other books and from what I've heard he is an amazing horror writer and I could well believe it. I have not been put off and want to delve into his other books to see just how good he is. This book does have some very good and gory horror scenes and the story all up is interesting and well thought out, to me and probably only me it just didn't seem to pop. I say that this is one of those books that each individual needs to read and judge for themselves as there are bound to be more readers that would find this book awesome rather than so-so. So give it a go and don't let others influence how you feel about things. To sum up in my honest opinion Little Heaven is worth giving a read just remember to push through the first little bit to find the warm and slippery innards.

Eat, Slay, Luzt by Jillian Stone Review



~ ~ I was given this book by the publisher via netgalley for an honest review ~ ~

All I can say is WOW was I mistaken. I bypassed this book at first because the title annoyed me and I thought there was no way it cold be good with a misspelled name. Well, yep, I was totally wrong this book is AWESOME! I loved the characters and the story was well told. The writing was great and I found myself feeling sad during a certain part (I don't want to give anything away). If you love dominant alpha males who can still be incredibly sweet and cuddly then the hero of the story is the man for you. The best thing is that even though you have he-man as the hero the heroine still manages to hold her own and not appear like a wimp who totally needs to be saved. Another thing I love is that just because the hero finds himself a chickie-babe that he falls for he doesn't change who he is and suddenly become completely pussy whipped. I highly recommend this book as a good read with a great descriptions of all the happenings. Zombies, zombies everywhere and all the fun that comes with the zombie apocalypse. I hope we get to hear more from this brave new world and it's strange new zombies, I'd like to know if Chris and Lizzy make it where they are headed. They have survived thus far but how far will they really get. Two thumbs up and more if I could find them.

Thunder Moon by Joanne Mallory Review.



~ ~I received an ARC from the publisher via Netgalley for an honest review~ ~

I found that this story was slightly predictable. The beginning was filled with a lot of simple day to day things that made it hard to lock my brain into reading mode. I expected a lot more of the supernatural but found that it was lacking. However I absolutely adored Murphy, then again Labs are the best dogs. All in all I did enjoy the sweet romance between Adam and Thea and would recommend this story as a good way waste an afternoon.

Moon Chosen by P.C Cast Review



I rated this book a four out of five stars, it is really a three and a half but when I was asking myself if I should round up or down I discovered that it was saved by the second half of the book so I rounded up. The beginning of the book is slow and hard to get into but if you push on it does get better and manages to peak your curiosity enough that want to keep reading. When first meeting the characters I found that I didn't much like the two main characters, they were both whiny and annoying and way to wrapped up in themselves. At one point I found myself wanting to knock both their heads together and telling them to get over themselves to see if that might knock a few brain cells into place. I actually found myself liking the bad guy a lot more and hoping he would win just so that two mains would be put out of my misery. Then things happened and both of the main characters became a hell of a lot more likable. At the same time the story picked up becoming something that could hold onto your attention and make you more curious about what was going to happen to everyone. It is well written if occasionally a bit wordy and over descriptive. The dogs in this story are just absolutely amazing and I would love to have one. The end did prod at my emotions enough that I want to know what will happen in the next book. All in all it is worth making the effort to read.
