#Review #Audiobook – New Dominion: A Snarky Urban Fantasy (The Judas Files Book 2) by C.G. Harris

Ghostly brawls, voodoo magic and a manhunt for a power-hungry dead guy.

Underworld double agent Gabe Gantry can’t stop screwing up. And why can’t he have a cool Topside superpower like his partner Alex?

Trying to commit covert good deeds from inside Hell is a devilishly tricky balancing act and the scales have just tipped.

Being a secret agent in the Underworld is never simple, but a gig that doesn’t involve preventing the next apocalypse is suspiciously non-Satanic. But Gabe knows better. There has to be a catch.

All he has to do is uncover the truth, fend off murderous ghosts, save a young genius and do it all without colossal screw ups or giving away his secret. No problem!

If you like snarky characters, and dark humor, then you’ll love New Dominion, the second book in the action-packed Judas Files urban fantasy series by C.G. Harris.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

I highly recommend listening to this via audio! The narrator is absolutely fantastic and is the cherry on top for these stories. Seriously, when I think of Gabe and his crew, everyone in The Nine and Topside, I hear this narrator. BRAVO!

The Judas Files is becoming one of my favorite series! Gabe and I are essentially one in the same. He went to Hell but still has a good heart. How is that even possible? Well, it is, LOL! He finds himself in some of the wonkiest situations. The world building is unique and not one that you find and is definitely not overplayed. I found myself doing the smallest of mundane tasks just to pop my earbuds in to listen some more. The side characters, and Gabe, all have their own demons (no pun intended) to deal with as everyone ended up in Hell for one reason or another but everything isn’t always as it seems.

This story, even when it gets deep, because it does, keeps being fun, witty, snarky and most of all captivating. I can’t wait to continue with the third book!

 

C. G. Harris profile image

Hold onto your warp drives and wizard hats. Chuck Harrelson and Kerrie Flanagan are C.G. Harris, the award-winning coauthor team responsible for some of the most thrilling escapades in the multiverse.

Together, they write fast-paced science fiction and fantasy with snark, action, and plenty of chaos. Their books include the humorous urban fantasy series The Judas Files, the young adult alien invasion series The Rax, the YA cyberpunk thriller series The Cyber Conspiracies, and the humorous space opera series Viraquin Voyage.

When they are not busy crafting the next great American novel or penning a haiku about the existential dread of Mondays, you can find them in the throes of a culinary Cold War. Kerrie fiercely defends New York’s big, floppy, fold-it-like-a-newspaper slice, while Chuck argues for Chicago’s deep-dish cheese casserole with a crust.

To this day, the debate remains unresolved. But in the heated exchange of doughy discourse, one thing is clear: when it comes to pizza, the only real winner is whoever gets the last slice.

The Nine, the first book in The Judas Files, won the Indie Author Project regional book award for adult fiction in Colorado and was a finalist for the 2021 Book Bloggers’ Novel of the Year Award.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

This is a fun and easy read with just the right amount of mystery with love connections. I love when you get a story that has paranormals that you are not normally used to and this story has them all! Mermaids, witches, sasquatches, unicorns, to a sphinx! I mean it literally had paranormals from all walks of life. If this was real, I could absolutely see the appeal of working at this resort. Since it is not real, I will settle for reading the series, LOL! Destiny just wants to work and be left alone. She loves her job but her boss is an epic…well, no one likes him. All of a sudden her boss drops dead, on her shift! AND SHE HAS TO CLEAN UP THE MESS!  How much worse could it get? Yeah, she is being blamed for his murder. She has so many allies but the paranormal community does things a lot different than humans and they hand out the punishments quick and swift. Time is running out for her. Her friends, ex, brother, and potential new love interest all work together and end up making things work out. All of the characters really make this story great. I look forward to continuing the series.

I was born and raised in the South and even hung my motorcycle helmet in Colorado for a few months. I’ve always had a touch of wanderlust and have never feared just packing up and going on new adventures, whether in real life or via the pages of a great book.

I didn’t want to grow up to be a writer—I wanted to raise unicorns and be a superhero. When those gigs fell through, I chose the next best thing: creating my own magical lands filled with adventure, magic, and humor.

I live in Florida with my two dogs and when I’m not writing or reading, I’m racing motorcycles, hanging out at the beach, or binge-watching anything magical on Netflix.

#review #audiobook Sister Wife: A Memoir of Faith Family and Finding Freedom by Christine Brown Woolley narrated by Christine Brown Woolley

From TLC’s Sister Wives star Christine Brown Woolley, a groundbreaking and heartfelt memoir about living in a family like no other and finding the strength to leave Mormonism—and the only life she’s known—behind.

Christine Brown Woolley had always dreamed of having a picture-perfect family—beautiful children, an adoring husband, and of course, a sisterhood of wives to share him with. Raised in Utah by practicing polygamists, Christine knew her life was less than normal, but that didn’t stop her from loving the full house of her childhood any less.

Becoming Kody Brown’s third wife in 1994, Christine finally found the big, happy family she had hoped for. When TLC’s hit show Sister Wives premiered in 2010, Christine knew it was her chance to shine a light on the brighter side of polygamy—the helping hands, the lively discussions, and their unmatched devotion to each other. But the cameras also revealed a much darker truth.

Now, in this candid tell-all, Christine shares for the first time the journey that led her away from the Morman church and the bold path she is carving to live apart from all she has ever known. Moving, genuine, and insightful, this is a uniquely powerful tour de force of Christine’s journey toward and beyond her time in the spotlight as a sister wife.

i bought this book and here is my honest review

As a fan of the show and Christine, I was excited when she was coming out with a book. and most of the things she says about her ex-husband I’m not surprised he seems just as egotistical, behind closed doors as he does on the cameras. im glad to get a smaller piece of her life and story and love, love that she finally got her happily ever after with her current and only marriage to David, on tv they are amazing and im sure they are that way when the cameras are off.

Christine Brown Woolley rose to fame as a star of the hit TLC reality show Sister Wives. She has six children, and lives happily in Utah with her husband.

 

#Review #Audiobook – License to Bite: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy: New Orleans Nocturnes, Book 1 by Carrie Pulkinen

A laugh-out-loud funny paranormal romantic comedy featuring accidental fated mates, grumpy/sunshine dynamics, and a cast of quirky characters…all set in vibrant, chaotic New Orleans during Mardi Gras.

It’s all fun and games…until someone wakes up dead.

Governor’s daughter Jane Anderson is used to getting what she wants. When a girls’ trip to Mardi Gras thrusts her into the arms—and fangs—of New Orleans’ hottest vampire, he gifts her with immortality, super strength, and a complexion to die for.

There’s only one tiny problem. Jane faints at the sight of blood.

When Ethan Devereaux meets Jane, his cold, lifeless heart learns to beat again. Convinced she’s his late fiancée reincarnated, he turns her, claiming her as his own. But when Jane wakes up dead in Ethan’s attic, she’s loud, sassy, and downright ornery. He doesn’t know if he should kiss her or stake her, but one thing’s for certain…

She is so not his long-lost love.

But Ethan turned her, so he’s stuck with the chaotic glitter bomb of a fledgling, whether he likes it or not. Jane has three weeks to learn the ways of the vampire and get her license, or she’ll be staked. If Ethan can’t help her overcome her aversion to blood, his undead life might also be on the line.

License to Bite is the first book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series, filled with supernatural shenanigans, witty banter, campy humor, and a vampire who faints at the sight of blood.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

Frightfully fun! Jane has come to New Orleans for her travel blog. She is truly the glitter bomb that the blurb describes her as. She is not used to sitting still or keeping quiet. No one tells Jane Anderson what to do. Ethan is a broody vamp, just sick and tired of the mundane. He is just here. Then he sees Jane and he knows Jane is his dead fiancé reincarnated. Jane almost dies and Ethan “saves” her by turning her into a vampire. Jane ends up loving being a vampire but CANNOT stand the sight of blood and refuses to learn to feed. She has to learn and get her biting license or end up staked. Ethan, the rule follower, is constantly on edge with Jane and most of the time doesn’t know what to do with her. Jane, however, is shaking things up, speaking out of line, refusing to learn to feed, etc. Jane is finally growing on Ethan. I honestly think she would get under anyone’s skin. It was a fun, quick-paced story that I listened to in one sitting. I recommend and look forward to the next.

Of course, when you grow up next door to a cemetery, the dead (and the undead) are hard to ignore. Pair that with her passion for writing and her love of a good happily-ever-after, and becoming a paranormal romance author seems like the only logical career choice.

#Review #Audiobook – Bargain at Bravebank: A Sci-Fi Western Adventure (The Legacy of Lucky Logan Book 1) by J.R. Frontera

“If Fallout and Red Dead Redemption 2 had a baby, it would be the Legacy of Lucky Logan series!” — a super clever reader

A deal gone bad…
…and Van Delano is left to die in the desert.

But most folk said he’d been cursed with a double-barreled shotgun of mulishness.
So when his first attempt at bargaining for his kidnapped sister’s freedom lands him with a dead horse, a bullet in his leg, and miles of desert between him and the nearest town… he’s not about to give up.
He’ll fight and claw, cheat and steal, even kill, if he has to… he made his sister a promise and he’s damn sure gonna keep it.
Doesn’t matter if most folk say she’s dead.
Doesn’t matter if the outlaw queen of the Western Territories is playin’ him.
Doesn’t matter if his new metal leg makes him a wanted man, hunted by both the superstitious and the greedy.
He’s a man out for his own redemption, and the only way to pay that debt is to track down his sister and get her free… no matter the cost.

For fans of The Coilhunter series, Make Me No Grave and the Red Dead Redemption games… saddle up for this gritty, gun-blazin’, gadget-laden re-imagining of the Old West and grab your copy today!

NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART! This series contains adult themes, situations, and language. Additionally, the scifi elements are a semi-slow build, appearing in a “lost civilization is rediscovered” kind of way.

“…such cruel, manipulative characters in an unforgiving world beautifully juxtaposed with kindness and generosity. I love it.” — Roger Clark, Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption II

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

I am definitely loving the vibe that is coming from this book! First things first, I highly recommend the audiobook because the narrator is absolutely fantastic! He makes you feel like you are right in the gritty wild west! I was hooked right from the beginning. I mean, who doesn’t like a villain named Nine-Fingered Nan?! She screws Van up bad…real bad! Then the great doctor finds Van and gives him a (spoiler alert!!!!!) mechanical leg! I don’t want to give any more real spoilers than this. He has been given a bad hand at life but his sister is what keeps him going. Most people don’t understand this but he NEEDS to save his sister. His back story is a bit heart wrenching but while on his quest, he ends up on all these “side quests” and ends up helping Charlotte (who has her own problems that Van can’t help but to help her), robbing banks, and sabotaging Nine-Fingered Nan’s gang. While this isn’t as much in the “Sci-Fi” or “Steampunk” genre as I was expecting, the story still had me turning the audio on whenever I had an opportunity. I can’t wait to see what happens next! To the author and narrator, BRAVO!

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

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.

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.

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!!!

#WOTR26 #dragons #paranormal #Audiobook #Series #Novella – Ranger, Dragon Bride Book 2 by Kate Rudolph, narration by Jonathan Waters

 

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.
