Release Day Blitz & Review…Bad Boys Don’t Lie by B.B. Easton

Bad Boys Don’t Die: The Complete Collection by BB Easton is now live!

From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 44 Chapters About 4 Men (inspiration for the Netflix original series Sex/Life) comes a New Adult romance with a dark, dystopian twist.

With only three days left until the predicted apocalypse, the small town of Franklin Springs, Georgia, has become a wasteland of abandoned cars, abandoned homes, abandoned businesses, and abandoned people. People like Rainbow Williams.

Rain isn’t afraid of dying. In fact, she’s looking forward to it. If she can just outrun her pain until April 23, she’ll never have to feel it at all.

Wes Parker has survived every horrible thing this life has thrown at him with nothing more than his resourcefulness and disarming good looks. Why should the end of the world be any different? All he needs are some basic supplies, shelter, and a sucker willing to help him out, which is exactly what he hops to find when he returns to his hometown of Franklin Springs.

As society crumbles, dangers mount, and secrets refuse to stay buried, two lost souls are thrust together in a twist of fate—one who will do anything to survive and one who can’t wait to die.

Perhaps, together, they can learn how to live.

Before their time runs out.

ALL THE STARS!!!

This trilogy proves that B.B. can write in just about any genre. I signed up to read this trilogy because it’s by B.B. but also the title and cover grabbed my attention. I did not read the blurb til right before I started reading and that was when I realized I would be reading a dystopian novel, which I absolutely love, and I was like “hell yea!!”

B.B. did not let me down. If anything, she just made me love her writing even more.

Rain and Wes had two very different objectives with the “the world is ending” mentality. And then these two meet and things drastically change for them.

This trilogy moves at an extremely fast paced but it’s the perfect pace too. B.B. really knows how to build a world that you can visibly see in your mind and how everything plays out. You feel the everything that Rain and Wes go through, you empathize with them.

For as long as this trilogy is, it did not feel that long to me. I devoured this in two days because I could not put it down. I desperately needed to know what was going to happen next after each turn of the page.

I cannot say enough about this trilogy. It is absolutely phenomenal. And even if you don’t read dystopian, you definitely want to read this one.

BB Easton is the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN, the hilarious, steamy, tell-all memoir that inspired the Netflix Original Series, SEX/LIFE. Within the first month, SEX/LIFE was viewed by 67 million households worldwide, making it the 3rd Most-Watched Netflix Original Series of all time.

BB was a stressed-out school psychologist and mother of two when the inspiration to write 44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN struck. Through that process, she rediscovered her passion for writing, became dangerously sleep-deprived, and finally mustered enough courage to quit her job and become a full-time author.

BB went on to publish four more wickedly funny, shockingly steamy, and heartwarmingly autobiographical books in the 44 CHAPTERS series: SKIN, SPEED, STAR, and SUIT. Since then, she’s been hard at work writing fictional stories that appeal to her love for us-against-the-world romance, including a suspenseful dystopian trilogy (BAD BOYS DON’T DIE), a psychologist-client romantic comedy (GROUP THERAPY), and a dark Irish mafia romance (DEVIL OF DUBLIN).

OUT NOW!!!

The Blood That Binds – Book 3 in the Thicker Than Blood Series is Available Now!

Happy Release Day to Claire C Riley and Madeline Sheehan on the release of their story of love and survival at the end of the world.^.

Early reviewers are loving this Dystopian romance and the angst it brings between two brothers who are in love with the same girl.

Gripping, intense and emotional, these two authors put both characters and readers through the wringer but I wouldn’t have it any other way. – Wendy, Goodreads Reviewer

My mouth was hanging open a 1am! Madeline and Claire, again knocked this out of the park! – Keshia, Goodreads Reviewer

It’s a gripping read, lots of drama and angst, ups and downs…. a real rollercoaster of a ride this one!! – Claire, Goodreads Reviewer

Blurb:

Tᴡᴏ ʙʀᴏᴛʜᴇʀs. A ᴄʜɪʟᴅʜᴏᴏᴅ sᴡᴇᴇᴛʜᴇᴀʀᴛ.

Life has never been easy for this trio, and especially not after the end of civilization as they knew it. Having had their formative years ripped from them, they were thrust into a shattered, savage world, a world where they only had each other.

Lᴏᴠᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ʟᴏss.

Weary travellers on the brink, there is a storm brewing, a turbulent tempest that has nothing to do with the weather. When tragedy strikes, everything changes in the blink of an eye– facades come undone, and loyalty is pushed to a breaking point.

A ᴅɪᴀᴍᴏɴᴅ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʀᴏᴜɢʜ.

Immersed back into something akin to normal society, a safe-haven in the midst of misery, our travellers are forced to finally confront their demons–long-kept secrets that have been haunting them for nearly a decade.

This book is unbelievably amazing. I am not sure where to even start with my thoughts.

The Blood That Binds is the third book in the Thicker Than Blood series, but it is a complete and full standalone. Madeline and Claire introduce brand new characters into this series, both main and secondary and bring new life to this series in so many ways.

I won’t divulge too much of what happens in this book because everything flows together and giving anyway tidbits, will just ruin the story. I absolutely love Lucas, Logan and Willow. These three have been through everything as a trio, even before the world ended. So it’s no surprise that they have stuck together long after the world was upended, regardless of their differences. The secondary characters add another amazing layer to this story and are the perfect addition to this story.

I read this book in less than a day. I felt like I was at the edge of my seat the whole time reading. Madeline and Claire do a brilliant job of building up each scene and having it flow perfectly into the next juncture. The pacing in this book is amazing and I can’t tell at any point that there are two people are writing this book. It all flows beautifully together; the plot, the characters and the amazing writing.

Readers will laugh, cry (happy and sad tears), scream and even want to throttle some characters at times. I was thoroughly invested in these characters and their story. There is also no shortage of action and gore either. Madeline and Claire deliver their grittier side with some gruesome scenes that align perfectly with the plot and these characters. Readers will envision this post-apocalyptic due to the brilliant details and will feel as though they’re walking in the characters shoes.

The Blood That Binds is a heart-pounding, explosive read. It’s a great book for readers who read the first two and brand new readers. It is a full standalone and should be read as such. If you read the first two, do not attempt to compare this book to either of those. This book features younger characters and their view on the new world. And if you did not read the first two, you are in for one hell of a great story.

Side note – I really, really, really, really hope that Britta gets her own book. Just read the book and you’ll find out why and agree with me. 🙂

Release Day Blitz & Review…God Of Monsters by Keri Lake

Title: God of Monsters

Author: Keri Lake

God of Monsters is the fourth book in the Juniper Unraveling series, a dark and haunting romance, set in a world decimated by a deadly contagion.

BLURB

I’ve heard stories about the Alphas. Violent soldiers, bred to kill both humans and mutations, whose sole purpose was to balance our survival against the infected.

Until they turned on their masters.

Held as subjects of the Calico research facility, they were forced to endure the gruesome experiments that transformed them into callous savages with hearts as impenetrable as their defenses. More terrifying than the monsters that decimated our world with disease and famine.

In the aftermath of Calico’s collapse, many of the Alphas fled, only to be hunted by our own Legion army. And in their absence, the balance has shifted.

I thought they no longer existed.

Until I met him, the god of monsters.

Now I don’t believe in the stories anymore.

To fall in love with the unyielding heart of an Alpha is said to be impossible.

But to fall in love with a god would be a tragedy.

No words once again. Not that I am surprised at this point. Any time I read a book by Keri, I know that I am going to be speechless. My words will never do her books the justice they deserve.

God Of Monsters is the fourth book in her Juniper Unraveling series. This series is a dark dystopian and post-apocalyptic world that is like nothing I have read before. Keri does a magnificent job of bringing this world to life in so many ways. To fully grasp everything that has happened in this world, I highly, highly encourage you to read these books in order.

God of Monsters is Titus and Thalia’s book. We were introduced to Titus in Kings of Carrion. Thalia is a new character to the series. She’s born and raised in a safe community that only know the tales of what happens outside the walls. However, the safe community has it’s own crazy ideas of how things should be.

The characters are unique and you get to see Thalia grow and become stronger in her own right. My biggest issue was not getting enough from Titus POV and all that he personally went through instead of brief glimpses in his few POVs. I really wanted more from him.

I really enjoyed this story line. Keri delivers this world like no other. In previous books, the stories usually surrounded the science and the purpose behind Calico. In this book, it was more about survival and moving beyond these genetically engineered monsters. There was a lot more humanity in this book than previous ones. Don’t get me wrong – there is still a lot of dark elements and depravity. But this was a different aspect and level than the previous books and I appreciated that.

Overall, God of Monsters is another great book in this series. Readers who enjoy darker reads, especially those who are fans of dystopian worlds, will love this book and series.

Cover Reveal…Kings of Carrion by Keri Lake

Title: Kings of Carrion

Author: Keri Lake

Cover Design: Okay Creations

Photographer: Andrei Vishnyakov

Release Date: December 3, 2019

Decades have passed since our world was decimated by the Dredge. Some say it was an act of God. Others believe the devil himself breached the gates of hell and turned the masses into the mindless infected with an appetite for carnage.

Those of us who’ve survived the Calico experiments know the only thing more terrifying than the monsters that seek to ravage what’s left of us, are the men who created them. Ones too capable of hiding their true form, and burying their darkest secrets.

Somewhere beneath the facility lies the answers, a cure for our suffering. To reach it, we’ll have to open the haunting tomb, where man’s deadliest mistakes, the most violent mutations, lie trapped within its tunnels, waiting to be set free.

Our only hope in surviving them are the very Alphas who were designed to hunt us down. The titans forged by cruelty and pain.

Kings of carrion.

We taught them to love, and in turn, they vow to protect us. To deliver the cure for humanity’s sake. Except this world doesn’t give without taking, and any chance of saving us will require the greatest sacrifice of all.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Calico Descending by Keri Lake

RELEASE DAY

Title: Calico Descending

Author: Keri Lake

BLURB

I was fourteen when I was sold to the men in black uniforms. Too young to understand I served a purpose beyond that of the other girls they’d taken.

For the greater good.

Now, after four years in Calico, I’ve seen more death and suffering than during my days of surviving out in the Deadlands against the threat of Ragers and famine. I didn’t think this world could get any bleaker. Didn’t think it could take any more from me than it already had.

Not until I finally learned my purpose.

That same day, I walked the dark halls in the bowels of this hell, where the suffering is in silence, and ghosts of the dead whisper through the walls. A place where nightmares are real.
A place where I met my Champion—the most revered Alpha in S-Block—locked away in his dark cell.

For the greater good.

He’s their weapon, their only line of defense against the mistakes of the past: the mutations that could wipe out all of what’s left of us.
Me, I’m his whipping girl. His reward for good behavior.
And his punishment for acts of defiance.

After falling into a slight book funk – this one has awaken my book love again!!!

O.M.G. Holy shit – I cannot get enough of this series. Hot damn, Keri!!

Calico Descending is the sequel to Juniper Unraveling. You MUST read Juniper Unraveling in order to fully understand this post apocalyptic, dystopian world. While Calico Descending focuses on a whole new set of characters, Juniper Unraveling gives you all the details and world building that you need to fully grasp this book.

Keri really knows how to deliver a dark, dangerous and gritty story inside a world that you can’t begin to describe in your worst nightmares. The story goes back and forth between past and present from Cali’s view until the views meet up to the present day. In her present views we meet three Alphas – Cadmus, Titus and Valdys. They are all a key to what is going on inside Calico.

I was just as drawn and ensnared with this book as I was the first one. It is a dark, twisted, creepy and very unsettling post apocalyptic world with characters that will grip you. I was honestly one edge the entire time reading this book. I couldn’t put it down and couldn’t stop thinking about it. It is that addicting.

I cannot praise this story enough. Even if you don’t think this genre is your thing, give it go. Be warmed, it is very detailed and gruesome at times, but that is what makes it so damn good too.

Keri delivers another jaw-dropping story that truly sinks its claws into. It also makes you wonder what our world would truly be like should we ever face a post apocalyptic world.

Everything Under the Sun by Jessica Redmerski….Review & Dream Cast

EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN

New York Times Bestselling Author Jessica Redmerski

Genre: YA/NA Crossover, Dystopian
Publication Date: August 28, 2017

Atticus, struggling to conform to the cruel nature of men in a post-apocalyptic society. Thais, fighting to stay out of the hands of men like him. Forced together, they fall in love. But can love survive in such dark times, or is it fated to die with them?

Thais Fenwick was eleven-years-old when civilization fell, devastated by a virus that killed off the majority of the world’s population. For seven years, Thais and her family lived in a community of survivors deep in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains. But when her town is attacked by raiders, she and her blind sister are taken away to the East-Central Territory where she is destined to live the cruel and unjust kind of life her late mother warned her about.

Atticus Hunt is a troubled soldier in Lexington City who has spent the past seven years trying to conform to the vicious nature of men in a post-apocalyptic society. He knows that in order to survive, he must abandon his morals and his conscience and become like those he is surrounded by. But when he meets Thais, morals and conscience win out over conformity, and he risks his rank and his life to help her. They escape the city and set out together on a long and perilous journey to find safety in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Struggling to survive in a world without electricity, food, shelter, and clean water, Atticus and Thais shed their fear of growing too close, and they fall hopelessly in love. But can love survive in such dark times, or is it fated to die with them?

Add to Goodreads

This book will take you on a long, dangerous, exciting journey. These characters will stay with you and you will fall so in love with them! I want to read it again, and again, and again!

– ImJaclyn reviews

That was an epic read. Pure epic! … Jessica Redmerski… is an absolutely incredible writer. I fall in love with every book she writes, every character, everything.

– Louise Seraphim Reviews

Amazon (Kindle) | Amazon (Paperback)

DREAM CAST

My dream cast for EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN would probably be:

Thais Fenwick: Emily Browning or Emmy Rossum
Sosie Fenwick: Sophie Kennedy Clark or Jane Levy (but with white-blond hair)
Atticus Hunt: Alexander Ludwig or Nicholas Hoult

It’s been over a day since I finished this book and I am still in awe of it. Everything Under the Sun is over 600 pages of brilliance. I am in awe of Jessica’s talent.

I have been desperately waiting to read this book and was so honored when I was given an arc in exchange for a review. Jessica’s writing is so amazing; it’s impossible to not fall into her stories head first.

We all have become so used to the roughly 300 page books that authors put out anymore, so when I saw that this was over 600 pages – I was even more excited for this book. I am not going to lie and say that every page was just as exciting as the next, but the development of these characters and their lives, each page felt like a new insight into them and what they were going through – it was like watching a movie play-out before my eyes.

Everything Under the Sun is a post-apocalyptic love story of two young people who are forced to live in the new world when the Sickness practically wiped out mankind. Left behind are all sorts and kinds of people living in this new world – savages, cracks and people making up factions in large cities where they are ruled by ruthless leaders. The world is no longer civilized and the world has returned to it’s earlier form of living but with a much crueler fate.

While this book is about surviving in the new world, there is a budding romance between Thais and Atticus. It is a hate to love romance, but it is one you can slowly see happening as the story moves forward day by day, week by week. And this is the part of the story that I feel that Jessica did her best in not making it feel so insta-love and shows how these two fell for one another during the dark times. Some will feel that this part is too drawn out and that certain scenes can be eliminated. But if she did that, then those same people would also turn around and say that things happened too quickly between them and their love isn’t as believable. I felt the scenes, while not as exciting as others, are just as important to this plot and needed to show how this love develops.

I will state that this book is very dramatic and very suspenseful but it is need in order for this story to work out best. You need the descriptions, the character development, the deep plot in order to really find yourself immersed in this story. I truly don’t believe this story would work out completely if we did not see how these two lived day to day and how they came to be in the end.

And that ending – yea, after 600+ pages, I was not expecting that, at all.

Bravo, Jessica, BRAV-FUCKING-O!!!!

Juniper Unraveling by Keri Lake…Release Day Blitz & Review

Juniper Unraveling

Author: Keri Lake

Genre: Dark Dystopian Romance

Papa says everyone has a story that deserves to be told.

Most begin years ago, after the second bomb hit, unearthing a deadly contagion that divided the population into the pure, the infected, and the Ragers.

Many recount the moment we rose up from the ashes and started anew.

Others tell of the day we built a wall to keep them out.
For some, they’re nothing more than the vestiges left behind—a simple name carved into the knotty bark of a Juniper tree.

My story begins with a boy. A mute, from the other side of the wall, known only as Six, who touched my heart in ways that words never could, and gave me the courage to face my darkest truth.

ONLY 99 CENTS FOR A LIMITED TIME

AMAZON US | AMAZON UK | AMAZON CA | AMAZON AU

When Keri told me she was writing a story that has been in her head for quite some time and was nothing like she wrote before, I was all in. I didn’t even need a blurb or genre to want to read this book. That is just how great I knew this book would be. And I was not wrong at all.

Juniper Unraveling is Keri’s debut in the Dystopian world. It’s also a post-apocalyptic world and it’s slightly different even with her zombie-like creatures called Ragers. Keri adds a uniqueness to this story that sets it apart from other post-apocalyptic and dystopian stories we’ve read before.

The beginning of this book is told from two POV’s – two young, teenage girls who are living in this new world after a huge virus took out almost the entire world. Then midway through things start to coming together, all these bits and pieces from these two girls are starting to make sense BUT there are still so many unanswered questions that have you itching for answers. The second half has alot more action and is faster-paced because of everything finally hitting that crescendo and you can’t stop yourself from reading what happens next.

I found the buildup of everything from how the virus started, to the outbreak, to where they are now, to be quite interesting and entertaining. And even as they are living in this new world, all the testing and hush-hush experiments is just as deadly as the actual Ragers they are trying to kill – it all ties together somehow. Keri does a great job of brining everything to life on the pages – I felt like I had a movie playing out in my head as I was reading.

Keri has so much in this book – the survivors behind the wall living a “blind life” because they do not want to know what happens beyond the wall; those who are still living in their hives and not only fighting Ragers, but the Legion too; those who were living in hives but captured by the Legion – it’s those people’s lives that are most unique in this book, but every singular person plays an important role in this story.

Yea, I know I did not give you much to go on in terms of the plot and I won’t. Keri writes a very enthralling and entertaining tale. As with all of Keri’s books, there is dark undertone and there some scenes that some may find too graphic, but it’s so damn good that if the scenes weren’t written that way, it just wouldn’t work. Plus she adds in her fabulous panty-melting scenes that are a great mix with this book. Everything just flows flawlessly.

If you love dystopian or post-apocalyptic reads, you definitely need to read this book. Hell, even if you have never read either genre before, I beg you to give this book a go. I have no doubt you will find yourself loving a new genre.

Cover Reveal…Juniper Unraveling by Keri Lake

COVER REVEAL

Title: Juniper Unraveling

Genre: Dark Dystopian Romance

Cover Design: Okay Creations

Release Date: October 31, 2017

Papa says everyone has a story that deserves to be told.

Most begin years ago, after the second bomb hit, unearthing a deadly contagion that divided the population into the pure, the infected, and the Ragers.

Many recount the moment we rose up from the ashes and started anew.

Others tell of the day we built a wall to keep them out.
For some, they’re nothing more than the vestiges left behind—a simple name carved into the knotty bark of a Juniper tree.

My story begins with a boy. A mute, from the other side of the wall, known only as Six, who touched my heart in ways that words never could, and gave me the courage to face my darkest truth.

PERSONAL APOCALYPSE Blurb:

Personal Apocalypse: A World Without End novel

Josiah grew up in a dying world. The Holdout survived, but when you are the son of Sylvia Cragen, you give up delusions early. He knew that they would die bloody–it wasn’t a matter of if. Only when.
Parker shouldn’t be alive. He should have died long before scouts from the Last Holdout rescued him. And he knows better than to believe that sailing away from the safety of the Holdout is a good idea.
Now, without the Holdout to protect them, all of his nightmares are coming true. Josiah is just crazy enough to believe that a fresh start is a good thing. But Parker has lived as prey, hunted by zombies and survivors before–and he knows that no one really survives. In the wild, zombie claimed world outside the walls of safety, there is only the dead walking.

EXCERPT:

Nightfall comes quickly and settles over the hotel with a shuddering silence that chills me. Finn and Ren are back, and he’s sure that no one else is lurking nearby. But we don’t really know that. Our houseguest is watching with that faint, damning smile that tells me we’re missing something. I just wish I could figure out what the f*ck it is.
As night falls, she comes alert, still and stiff in her chains, with a bright-eyed stare as she looks out the window, into the night time.
That’s when the night comes to life.
I’m used to the sounds of the Holdout—the crash of the waves, and the low murmur of life, the hiss of snakes and splash of gators in the swamps that border our tiny home. The lazy hum of bugs in the air so thick it’s like a physical thing.
And I’m even used to the noise of our boat. Finn’s low rumble and Ren’s sharp laugh and sarcastic humor. Parker’s quiet voice that is the backbone for all of the important things in my life. The sound of the water against the hull, and the creak of the boards and the lines, the rattle of rigs and weapons and the whistle of the wind as we slept.
But nothing. Nothing. Could prepare me for the wildness of Africa at night.
