#Audio #DarkRomance #Horror – Where’s Molly by H.D. Carlton, narration by Michelle Sparks and Sebastian York

Leave a comment

A spinoff of the Cat & Mouse Duet…

“Molly Devereaux has been missing for more than two weeks, and police are still searching for the girl who seemed to vanish out of thin air. The world still wants to know… Where’s Molly?”

In my dreams, I never escaped the Oregon woods.

Life after death isn’t easy to accept, especially when I still feel like a ghost.

Now, I live deep in the mountains of Montana—the paradigm of beauty. But they are also the home of horrors.

Horrors that I only unleash at night.

When my pigs are allowed to feast.

It is strongly recommended to read Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline before reading Where’s Molly.

Important Note: This is a dark romance that contains dark subject matter. Please refer to the author’s website for content warnings

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased this audio book.

I want to say Michelle and Sebastian did a great job of bringing the characters to life for me.  I enjoyed listening to the story through their interpretation.

Ok so this book I was interested in reading.  I mean we all read the Cat and Mouse Duet so of course we want to know WHAT HAPPENED TO MOLLY!!  I think I initially thought she died at the hands of the traffickers, so I was excited to read the story.

So the story, I think I expected more….like more violence?  Is that wrong?  Weird?  I dunno.  I know the author was in a bad spot mentally, so I understand why this wasn’t AS dark as Zade/Addie which I think people expected that level dark.  I mean it’s dark.  Molly is feeding pigs BODY PARTS but the gore/violence isn’t as bad???

I did like the story.  But that is it.  I liked it. Molly was interested and Cage was a nice antihero.  But I found myself putting the book down several times.  Its not that I didn’t like it but it was missing that “GAH I NEED TO KNOW!!!!!” factor??  I wanted more of the past for Molly but at the same time I guess we kinda know what happened to Molly at the hands of the bad peps.

Anyway, I did like to and thought the narration was great.

The stranger at the gate has supplies that will ensure the group’s ongoing survival but at a cost. He wants a woman.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I received this book ARC from the author for a truthful review of the book.

OK sooooooo I love Kylie and her novels. I mean Zombies running around trying to eat you and people are falling in love…..perfection!!! Her books are a total episode of The Walking Dead but well…. really naughty!! 🙂 For those of you that don’t know, Kylie soooo graciously let us raffle off her first book Flesh when our blog first opened in October. So she has been with us since the very beginning and watched us grow. We LOVE you for helping us as much as we have helped you!!! MUAH!!!

Ok so this novel….Oh brother Nick…..well IF you read Flesh (If not ya better cuz its a hawt M/F/M story plus scary zombies are everywhere.) you will remember Nick was cast out of the safe community because they deemed him untrustworthy. So he has been alone, hopeless and basically spying on the pockets of people he has found. WELLLLL he sees Ros and BOOM goes the fly of his pants…..Yup thinking with the lower extremities…..SOOOO our hero decides to BUY her from her “friends”…sigh….really Nick? I mean Flowers and a can of Spam since they are starving might have been a better approach but……Well their “relationship” isn’t so happy. WHAT you are shocked? I mean being chained to the bed with a gag ball doesn’t help you form trust you say?? Well needless to say a bond does form along with some very hot sparks. Holy hell their first “joining” shall I say…what girl wouldn’t want it THAT way *gulps ice cold water* cuz I sure wouldn’t complain. Well Ros freaks and escapes because well…she is a typical hot mess of a women. Confused over why in the heck she did that with a man who BOUGHT her and held her as a hostage. (SMH! Dude he is hot and who wouldn’t have given in at some point?? Must be the dang Stockholm Syndrome she was talking about.) Anywho, when Ros realizes she wants to be with Nick all hell breaks out. She gets chased by a herd of zombies and our hero is there in a flash but their little safe haven is now gone. So out on the run they go into the world to try and find someplace to survive.

Well at this point in the novel is when all shit really starts to happen. Nick and Ros run into some Super Big Douche Bags and things happen……Then they run to the safe community Blackstone where If you remember Nick is kinda hated. So when they find out that Ros was “purchased” he wasn’t very well received AGAIN!! The last pat of the book was action packed no doubt. There was a point when I was reading I yelled “NOOOOO” and was soooo saddened. ….haha you sooo now I am gonna leave you hanging right??!!! Anyway, I loved seeing Allie, Finn and Dan from Book 1. They are working well together and help Nick and Ros. I am excited for where book 3 will go and I have zero clue who the hero will be. I THINK I have a clue about the female but EH who knows!!! All I can say is that this book is amazing and maybe even better then the 1st if possible!!!

Kylie is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today best-selling, Audie Award winning Romance author.

He’s supposed to be a prince, not a prisoner…
Things are as bad as they can get for Ranger when he’s thrown in a cell and told he’s about to be sold for a profit. But his captors don’t know he’s a dragon, and he’s ready to rain fire on them all in payback.

Until he meets Sidney.

She’s stronger than she looks…
When Sidney discovers Ranger on the ship, it throws her world into upheaval. She’s no slaver. She’ll do what it takes to free him, even if it means crossing her captain and crew. When Ranger turns the tables on her, she’s almost too angry to be attracted to him.

Almost.

Freeing Ranger has repercussions. And soon it’s not just Sidney that’s in danger, but everyone she loves as well. She’ll need to trust the dragon prince if she’s going to save them all.

But how can she do that without losing her heart?

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased this audiobook.

I am a sucker for a good novella.  I am a sucker for dragon stories.  Give me both on an audio and I am SOLD!!!

Again with all novellas you know they will be an instalove and I am all for it.  This book was about Ranger, Crux brother, and Sidney.  He is thinking he is saving some people only to be kidnapped.  Sidney I excited to be helping her “family” out on their ship when she meets Ranger escaping.  Needless to say she is stunned to learn how awful her “family” really is.

The story was quick. They had some sexy times and some bater.  Sidney didn’t put up with Ranger and he was ever the gentleman helping her people.  I liked the story well enough.  I just felt, like with the first book, I wanted more insight to the king and AFTER they come home.  We have all this fear of him disliking “humans” and his dislike for Sidney but why???  So if I have any complaint is that I wish there was more information as to this dilemma.

I love writing about kick butt heroines and the steamy heroes who love them.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I grabbed this audiobook for free on stuff your audiobook day in August/September from Google Books.

I am a sucker for a good novella.  I am a sucker for dragon stories.  Give me both on an audio and I am SOLD!!!

This story was super quick and of course instaloveish.  If you are grabbing a novella you know this so I was ready.  I will so I did enjoy the banter initially with Cruz and Courtney.  He shows up on the planet looking for his mate that the dating agent told him would be there only to discover she is human with weird rolling things she carries around.  She is feisty and not putting up with him at all.

Courtney wakes up not in her apartment and not thrilled to discover she was kidnapped with her roller skates on.  What is a girl to do!!

The story was good. We see the reason why Cruz was looking for his mate.  We see him struggle with accepting that a human is his person.  We see Courtney falling hard for the dragon prince and not happy she will be letting him go.

I do feel a little bit let down at the end. I enjoyed the couples story but I wanted maybe one more chapter to see them together on his planet…ya know see how it all shakes out in the wash.  But I did download book 2 and am diving in.

I love writing about kick butt heroines and the steamy heroes who love them.

#Review #Audio – Skinny Dip by Carl Hiaasen

Leave a comment

Chaz Perrone might be the only marine scientist in the world who doesn’t know which way the Gulf Stream runs. He might also be the only one who went into biology just to make a killing, and now he’s found a way–doctoring water samples so that a ruthless agribusiness tycoon can continue illegally dumping fertilizer into the endangered Everglades. When Chaz suspects that his wife, Joey, has figured out his scam, he pushes her overboard from a cruise liner into the night-dark Atlantic. Unfortunately for Chaz, his wife doesn’t die in the fall.

Clinging blindly to a bale of Jamaican pot, Joey Perrone is plucked from the ocean by former cop and current loner Mick Stranahan. Instead of rushing to the police and reporting her husband’s crime, Joey decides to stay dead and (with Mick’s help) screw with Chaz until he screws himself.

As Joey haunts and taunts her homicidal husband, as Chaz’s cold-blooded cohorts in pollution grow uneasy about his ineptitude and increasingly erratic behavior, as Mick Stranahan discovers that six failed marriages and years of island solitude haven’t killed the reckless romantic in him, we’re taken on a hilarious, full-throttle, pure Hiaasen ride through the warped politics and mayhem of the human environment, and the human heart.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

Skinny Dip is hilariously incredible! There is never a dull moment during this story. There are so many characters, all well developed, and each one plays a very important part with the story. Every decision, twist, turn, haunting, cheating, discovery….all of everything, I was hooked. What am I saying? I am hooked! This is the second book I have read by this author and Carl Hiaasen is in my top ten favorite! On more than one occasion I sat here with my mouth open, shaking my head in disbelief at what just happened then laughed my butt off at the response! It is hilarious if you have a twisted sense of humor….like me! I love the hijinks and craziness. Skinny Dip is one of those stories that is a train wreck that you just can’t stop watching. You just know something bad is going to happen, but you can’t look away. OOOOOHHHHH, and poor Chaz. How this comes full circle for him in the end had me in stitches. Literally, I was laughing out loud. Let me tell you that it was the absolute perfect ending.

Leave a comment

Charlotte, a.k.a. Ruby the town psychic, has a good thing going in Castle Cove. Her baby sister Paige is blossoming under their newfound stability. Charlotte is becoming a pillar in the quirky beachside community, thanks to her new friends and neighbors. And Deputy “Cute Butt” Jared has finally wedged himself into her life with a heart big enough to make them a real family.

But Charlotte should have known better than to let a con run too long. Her parents have found them, and the inveterate con artists won’t let Paige out of their clutches unless Charlotte helps them rob the innocent people of Castle Cove blind—including Jared. As the clock ticks down to meet the parents’ demands, it gets harder and harder to prevent her exposure as the fraud she is. But Charlotte won’t stop until she finds a way to protect everyone. At any cost. Even if it means losing everything.

The final installment in the Castle Cove Mystery Series! Cannot be read as a standalone! Book one is Fake it to the Limit, book two is Too Much Crime on My Hands. If cliffhangers make you punchy, you can read all three books in one download! Go here: www.books2read.com/ExtraBoxset

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

I miss all the quirky Castle Cove characters! One of the best things about this series is that all three books in the series are out so I didn’t have to wait to continue the story!

Charlotte, AKA Ruby, has lots of secrets and a huge one is in town. The parents! And guess what? The parents want to use Charlotte to run a con on the people of Castle Cove. The same people that have embraced Charlotte and Paige, no questions asked and have become more of a family to these two than their parents ever have.

“Everybody has had to deal with an uncomfortable family reunion. Drunk uncles and fighting cousins. Shut-in aunts and busybody grandparents. Skeletons that trot out of the familial closet as soon as the eggnog starts flowing. But when it comes to awkward relative stories, I’ve got them all beat.”

Charlotte is warring with herself trying to figure out the best way to con her con artist parents without hurting the people she loves in Castle Cove, while trying to protect Paige the best way she knows how. There are so many twists and turns, lots of pulling of the heartstrings, but with all the same witty banter that will still make you smile and laugh. I did not expect the events leading up to the end of the story, but it makes me love all the residents of Castle Cove that much more!

I absolutely love this series!

 

Mary Frame profile image

Mary Frame writes romantic comedies with quirky characters, steamy moments, and banter that will make you blush and snort-laugh at the same time. She’s a full time mom with a full time job and has no idea how she manages to write novels, but it probably helps that she’s a dedicated introvert. She doesn’t enjoy writing about herself in third person, but she does enjoy reading, writing, dancing, and damaging the ear drums of her co-workers when she randomly decides to sing to them.

She LOVES hearing from readers and will not only respond but likely begin stalking them while tossing out hearts and flowers and rainbows! If that doesn’t creep you out, e-mail her at: maryframeauthor@gmail.com

#Review #Audio – One Hit Wonder: A Samantha True Mystery (Prequel) (The Samantha True Mysteries Book 1) by Kristi Rose

Leave a comment

Sometimes it’s not opportunity knocking, it’s trouble.
On the night of Samantha True’s first job as a forensic photographer she learns three things:

  1. Crime scenes are messy.
  2. Especially when you throw up on them.
  3. She may not be cut out for this.

When the police drag her to a second investigation, she’s just as baffled by the crime scene as they are. Why is the school lunch lady, Miss Trina, chained to a pole? Is this somehow connected to the robberies taking place all over Wind River?
Samantha might not be cut out for photographing blood-covered crime scenes, but being the daughter of the town newspaper man, she has plenty of investigating intuition. Besides, this is her hometown, and she’s not about to let it become ravaged by crime.
As the locals rally to help Miss Trina, Samantha begins her poking around and uncovers sinister dealings, causing her to question everything–and everyone–she knows.
Her small town is full of shadowy secrets. And she might be happier staying in the dark.

A laugh-out-loud mystery that will keep you guessing and quickly turning the pages. One Hit Wonder offers the just right reader escape, but fair warning, this book leaves readers wanting more.

Warning: May cause spontaneous laughter. This mystery offers witty banter, characters you’ll want to be friends with, and is a perfect escape to the Pacific Northwest. Laughing out loud in public may cause curious glances from strangers.

This book is a 2-4 hour read. Depending on your speed and interruptions. This book doesn’t haven’t to be read in the series order and takes place 10 years prior to ALL BETS ARE OFF.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

I read the blurb and immediately was intrigued. This is the first book I have listened/read by this author so I thought I would give the prequel a whirl. I was pulled in pretty quickly. Samantha is called to an accident crash to take photos, but she hadn’t been feeling well and ends up vomiting while on the call…This was my first funny because it’s something I could totally see myself doing, LOL! The next scene really gets under your skin and pulls at your heart strings. The plot thickens! There are lots of secrets and random tidbits that come up which don’t always add up. One of the things that I had difficulty with the main character, Samantha, is that she was explicitly told several times that she took the photos for the police and she is not to discuss the case with anyone. But she immediately talks to her reporter father and her best friend. It seems like she just blabbed about everything. It drove me nuts! However, it didn’t ruin the story for me. The ending wrapped up pretty perfectly and had me in stitches! I am going to give the next book a try and see what happens later in Samantha True’s life. 😊

Leave a comment

A beachside stroll. A deadly discovery. Will this psychic sleuth swim or sink?

Mitzy wishes she could turn a blind third-eye to her hit-or-miss powers. Instead, while taking her fiendish feline for a walk, they make a stomach-churning find on shore. Despite her loss of appetite, she can’t help but get a closer look at the unique ink etched into the corpse…

Before she can track down the killer, Mitzy must sweet-talk her way off the sexy sheriff’s suspect list. And once again her meddling Ghost-ma is dying to interfere with the case. But when the trail leads to dangerous smugglers who shoot first and don’t ask questions, she could end up in over her head…

Can Mitzy uncover the truth, or will hers be the next body to float to the surface?

Tattoos and Clues is the second book in the hilarious paranormal cozy mystery series, Mitzy Moon Mysteries. If you like snarky heroines, supernatural intrigue, and a dash of romance, then you’ll love Trixie Silvertale’s twisty whodunits.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

I listened to this via audio. Right at the beginning, I wasn’t sure I was going to like the book because Mitzy had a man in her bed that was not Erick! Sorry for the spoiler, but you have to read the story! While out taking Pyewacket for a walk, Mitzy finds a dead body. I swear if there is a corpse, Mitzy is going to find it! The thing with this one is, the corpse is closer to the family and she is asked by Odell to look into things. Now she has to unravel tons of secrets but some are even from her Ghost-ma! ….sigh…. I love how she has wriggled her way into the town’s hearts and has become one of them. She literally went from having no family to having so much family that it will fill your heart. But let’s not forget about all the banter between Mitzy and Sheriff Erick, haha! Silas, her attorney, has really stepped up in this book. His character is almost like an uncle of sorts. He has some funny quips that made me chuckle. I love having him around. The twists in this story definitely had me yelling at Mitzy and at the same time rooting for her all the same. I am digging her sleuthing and have the third book loaded and ready to go!

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

This was such an entertaining story! The author did an incredible job keeping things interesting but lighthearted with the right amount of wit, sarcasm and snark while the main character is being investigated for murder. I listened to this in audiobook and the narrator did a phenomenal job!

This is a fairly quick listen so I imagine that it would be a good read as well. The story moves at a great pace so you are not left waiting for things to happen or catch up. Mitzy always thought she was an orphan and then one day she was left money, an incredible bookstore, and found out she had family and others who quickly became friends. All while being arrested almost immediately for a murder (and you won’t believe who the corpse is!!!). She rolls with the punches as best she can and because of her stubbornness, doesn’t let the bad luck keep her down. There is a lot of small-town stuff where everyone knows everyone’s business, but at the same time a lot of those people become the family you didn’t know you had…or needed. Even after being accused of murder, having a ghost granny, crazy cat, potential love interest with the town sheriff that originally arrested her, and the family she didn’t know she needed, Mitzy is really finding that she belongs in Pin Cherry Harbor.

This is a super cute mystery that will suck you right from the start. I look forward to continuing the series and joining in on Mitzy’s misadventures!

Leave a comment

 

As an Air Force medic, Bree Marks saw the worst the War on Terror had to dish out. Now a physical therapist, she uses her experience to help other veterans heal from their physical wounds; while she battles her own emotional damage.

Blaming himself for his best friend’s suicide, former Army Ranger Jase Larken, retreated from life. To honor his best friend’s memory and assuage his guilt, he started an outdoor adventure company to help veterans with PTSD.

Bree had better things to do than catch her cheating fiance in bed with another woman. Jase is something better – for a night at least. For the first time in years, Jase wanted more. When he finds her again, he doesn’t give her another chance to run.

Jase’s protectiveness grates on Bree’s independent nature. She’s dealt with her fair share of alpha-male, door kickers and doesn’t need one telling her what to do now. But as a new danger emerges, Bree and Jase must face their pasts, before someone’s obsession with Bree destroys any chance they have of a future.

Can be read as a stand alone. No cliffhangers within the story.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased this audio book.

First up, I am a narration snob.  I admit it.  I am picky and picky and even picky about my voices.  Ya’ll Hayden’s voice was THE BEST!!   Seriously she brought the characters to life.  She read the snide comments that were written with just the right attitude and sass.    For real….In love I am with her narration.

I grabbed this book because I had audio credits to burn.  I admit I was shallow when I saw the cover.  Don’t judge we have all stopped for a pretty cover.  Anywho, I then read the blub and was like hrmmmmm lets give it a whirl.

I am so dang glad I did.  I was laughing so hard at scenes because Denise and Bree are totally me and my bestie.  I was also fanning myself because ….. JASE….MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Its gonna take a lot for me to dump him as my book boyfriend……for this series at least.  #BookWhore

I loved that fact this book was military but not so over my head military I was lost.  I loved that the characters all understand what it is like to return home after service trying to find a new normal after all they saw and witnessed while in service.  I loved the teasing of which branch you served in.  I loved the comradery they all had.

Jase and Bree meet at a bar.  Bree had just tossed her fiancé and his side piece out when she decided to drink her sorrows away with her bestie.  After an amazing night with Mr. Walking Orgasm she slips out the door.  Jase is not happy because he finally felt a connection.  He is going crazy and then she just shows up in his life again.  Mr. Super Alpha grabs her and won’t let her go.  Literally he grabbed her and it was hysterical!

I thought the story of the two of them dealing with falling in love and falling so fast was freaking them out.  I loved they knew what the other was dealing with.  I loved that Bree kicks Jase’s ass but Jase also is there to hold Bree when she falls apart.

The mystery of the story is that someone is harming people for hurting Bree.  I thought I knew the who and when we find out the why, it made my heart sad.  Menta Health is a serious issue and I loved how respectfully this was dealt with throughout the book.

I am super pumped for Denise and Chris.  This is going to be a crazy ride!

Tarina has spent her entire life in and around the military – first as a dependent and then as an enlisted Air Force member.

She writes contemporary and military romance about strong women and the men strong enough to love them. She draws heavily from her own military experience to create authentic characters who face real personal challenges.

Tarina is still active duty and a single mom of six-year-old twins. Her favorite hobby is sleep. She has delusions of retiring from the military and being a stay-at-home mom and full-time writer.
