Revenge of the Three by Tim Miller Review ~Kami

Revenge of the Three


http://timmiller.org

A few years has passed since the first book and Pastor Charlie is back. He is working in a funeral home, hasn't had any visions and hasn't killed anyone lately. Then weird things happen, people die and Lucifer shows up. In the first book, Charlie had a run in with Jesus now it is The Holy Ghost who is causing problems. This book is well written and the pacing is good. I liked the first book The Hand of God (Pastor Charlie) a lot and gave it five stars because the supernatural aspects were so unexpected, they came completely out of left field and I never saw them coming. I liked that the story was so good that I didn't figure out what was happening before the characters did, like I usually do. This second book continues the action from the first book as Pastor Charlie tries to save the world in his own violent way. 4 stars

Nanee's Review of The Second Year Running the Gauntlet (The Sturgis Diaries) by Brandie Buckwine

The Second Year Running the Gauntlet (The Sturgis Diaries)

http://brandiebuckwine.com/

Book Description:

If Cam’s first trip to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally was an awakening, her second trip could only be called eye-opening. Even though she knows better, Cam just can’t help chasing her libido – right into hell. But relying on Dylan to save her every time she finds trouble isn’t fair to him. Is it?

Cam starts her second trip to Sturgis with a bang. A gang bang, that is. Even though she’s fantasized about it for years, her first shot at group sex dies an embarrassing death. Her second shot is even worse. Will the third time be the charm, or will Cam run out of chances with her gang of rowdy bikers? While she might just pull it off, it could also be the one thing that pushes Dylan away, for good.



Nanee's Review:

I absolutely loved this story just as much as book 1. Brandie's cast of characters are down right sexy as hell. Cam is back and hornier then ever  but her dream of a gang bang isn't what she thought it would be, the description was so amazing  during this scene I felt like I was there. Dylan is sexier than ever..just as protective as ever and just as badass as ever. As the story continues Cam searches for the elusive orgasm and flirts and teases until it bites her in the ass...The story brings you up, it's flirty and sexy and brings you down with lessons learned, I love that in a story. Brandie's story was a amazingly written and Keeps you wanting more, I can't wait for book 3, I want more Cam and Dylan. 5 huge stars or 5 sexy bikers

I love the cover of this book. So pretty.

Stella is moved to a tiny Hawaiian island by her mother to protect her. She has a recurring dreams and her mother is always telling her to stay away from the water, though they live on an island. Stella can't quite resist the call of the ocean. This book is really well written and the pacing is really good. I was immediately drawn into the story. I thought the characters were sympathetic and interesting. The island Nortica is really strange. There are very few people. Stella doesn't have any idea what is going on or why her mother brought her there. “You’re on a deserted island,” I muttered to myself, “what’s the worst that could happen?” I really liked this story a lot. 4 stars.

Family Magic (Hayle Coven, #1) by Patti Larsen Review ~Kami

16-year-old  Sydlynn Hayle is a witch from a family of witches. Her father is a demon and her little sister has demon horns. Her uncle is a vampire. Syd just wants to be normal. In this story not all demons are evil they are just beings from “a different realm of existence”. She has a talking cat who is actually a teenage demon. And her family seems very Addams family. Syd is full of teenage angst and I found her a bit annoying. “But when you live in a family of witches, weird stuff happens, stuff which might accidentally involve the neighbors, which means a quick move in the middle of the night to a whole new state so no one gets arrested.” There are your typical teen movie plot points, football hero hot boy with mean girl cheerleader girlfriend. I thought the story was a bit trite and formulaic. I felt like I was watching a movie on the Disney channel. I wasn't really getting into the story until chapter 14 when things started getting interesting. 3 stars.

The Plague Son By R.K. Finnell Beta Review ~Kami

http://www.amazon.com/R-K-Finnell/e/B004W23IB0/ref=sr_tc_2_0?qid=1376077642&sr=1-2-ent


This is the follow up to Kickshaw's Candies, an excellent story with elements of horror and Irish folklore. Finnell has a real talent for storytelling. This book is very well written. I liked the feel of the story. It has a dreamy, oral storytelling style that immediately draws you in. I felt compelled to keep reading so as to find out what was going to happen next. The writing is very descriptive, creepy and at times gruesome like a story told to Stephen King, Clive Barker, Neil Gaiman and Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth) as they sit around a campfire. Each chapter reads like a short, scary, self-contained story that builds on each previous vignette. An amazing follow up to the excellent mythos that began with Kickshaw's Candies. 5 stars.

Skin Deep (DarkWorld #1) by T.G. Ayer Review ~Kami

Skin Deep (DarkWorld #1)

by











Kailin “Kai” Odel  is an Alpha Panther shapeshifter and Wraith Hunter. During a battle with a Wraith, Kailin stumbles on a mysterious murder of another Walker. The reader is then introduced to such entities as “the paranormal information network”, “the non-Human community”, “Death-talker” and “the New Army of Wrythiin." . The writing and pacing of the story are good though at times riddled with cliches. The characters are interesting and sympathetic. Things start getting really interesting, exciting and action packed by chapter 14. Some of the magical aspects of the story, I found a little too much to swallow. There was just too much going on that the story became very scattered. But all in all an enjoyable read. 4 stars.

Legacy of the dead; Deliverance by R.D. Teun Review ~Kami

Legacy of the dead; Deliverance

by






A group of survivors are stuck on a roof while zombies roam below. Their only hope is to make it to a supposedly safe town called Deliverance. I have noticed that it has become common in zombie stories to center the plot around the interactions between the survivors instead of the zombie killing action. Typically it is the living that you need to worry more about than the dead. The walking dead are predictable. But your fellow survivors, those are the ones that are unpredictable and at times even more dangerous than the zombies trying to eat you. Nothing like a zombie apocalypse to turn everyone homicidal and psychotic. Also, many zombie stories center around a safe place that the survivors hear about and feel that all will be well for them if they can make it there, in this case Deliverance. The mythical mecca of a safe place often times turns out not to be the hopeful utopia that is described. These are the kind of plot points that are done many many times in zombie stories. The characters in this story are an odd bunch. I didn't find them very sympathetic at all. For a character driven story to be really good, I feel you need your story to center around some really good characters that the reader cares about. This story fell a little short of that mark for me. 3 stars.
