Cover Reveal for Pitch Dark by AM Wilson and Alex Grayson

COVER REVEAL

One girl disappeared. After fifteen years, her cold lifeless body was found on the damp forest floor. Not an inch of her was unmarked by the horrors she endured. Alone, malnourished, abused in horrific ways; this was how she died.

One girl was found walking the streets, covered in dirt and scars. She had no memory of who she was, where she came from, or what happened to her. Even though the marks on her body attested to years of heinous abuse, her strength shone through at every turn.

Revenge and justice were sworn.

Years of searching brought up nothing but dead ends. Detective Niko James was too late to save his childhood friend, but he vows not to let down another.

The clock is ticking and the trail is pitch dark.

*TRIGGER WARNING* Some scenes depict abusive situations.

When she isn’t furiously typing on her computer, she can be found searching for her next all-consuming read. A. M. lives in Minnesota with her husband, two children, and black lab.

Review for Fat Jimmy and the Blind Ballerina by Eddie Owens

Fat Jimmy and the Blind Ballerina

Eddie Owens

Blurb:

This is the story of one young man’s desire for comedy fame: a tale of ambition and humiliation on the way to the top.

Fat Jimmy is a cynical, young comedian and writer, who desperately wants to make it to the big time. He wants it all and he wants it now.

Fat Jimmy loves women; he loves booze and he loves comedy. He is sweary and controversial, but always funny and always memorable.

Review:

This book was quite different than my usual PNR or romance read. It's about a comedian named Jimmy Punchinello and how he goes from quite the small time guy doing live stand up to a man in the television business. The first part of the book was a bit hard to get into. It was a little slow. Then you start learning more about Fat Jimmy's past and his family. They're quite an interesting bunch and all of them are go-getters. He is the only one without a "real job", hence he feels more like the screw up of the family. But this story isn't just about him constantly chasing women and fame and fortune. It's about a man who finally decides to do something worth while with his life while learning to understand his father more. I personally liked his psych evaluation. It was quite telling and spot on. Overall, the book was a unique read but definitely not for your younger audiences.

4 out of 5 stars!

New Release and Review for Hell on Earth by Brenda K Davies

Blurb:

Wren

It’s been fourteen years since the gateway to Hell opened and life as I knew it ceased to exist. Taken in by a group of humans, I’ve managed to survive in the Wilds. Now I have a chance to do more than survive while building a better life for all Wilders. Unfortunately, it means doing the one thing I never believed I would do—joining with the demons I’ve always considered my enemies.

Working with demons wouldn’t be a horrible prospect except it means dealing with Corson. The irritating demon who manages to get under my skin until I’m not sure if I’d rather kill him or kiss him. The closer I get to him, the more memories of my long-buried past slip free, leaving me uncertain of what’s real and what’s not…or even of who I am.

Corson

I’d thought joining with the Wilders to hunt down the creatures that escaped Hell was a job I’d enjoy. Not only do I get to kill my enemies, but I also have a chance to get closer to Wren. I wasn’t expecting the stubborn woman to go out of her way to avoid me.

Cut off from our allies, Wren has no choice but to work with me. However, the more time we spend together, the more I realize that though she would prefer me dead, there’s nothing I won’t do to keep her safe. When a lethal new threat rises, I begin to fear keeping Wren alive may be impossible.

***The Hell on Earth series is a spin-off of the Road to Hell series. You do not have to read the Road to Hell Series to follow this series, but it is recommended that the Road to Hell Series be read first to avoid spoilers and to understand the characters better. Each book in this series will focus on different characters.***

Due to violence, language, and sexual content this book is recommended for readers 18+

Review:

If Lucifer still existed in this book I would have said that Earth had become the Devil's playground. However, he's not. But that doesn't mean that Earth is no longer dangerous. Because it is. All of the demons released by the seals falling are now roaming free and not all of them want to play fair. In fact, they fallen angels are still there and regrouping quickly. Corson, the demon, and Wren, a Wilder, are just part of a group that are out scouting for the fallen as well as any troublesome demons that do not want to submit to the new leadership and obey him. If they pose a threat, they must be taken out. In the midst of all of the danger, Corson deal with his growing feelings for Wren and attempts to get to know her better. Wren is not as receptive though due to past trauma. Because of it, she is as hard as nails on the outside, but Corson brings out a side in her that was long buried and she had hoped to keep it that way. He makes her feel like no other ever has, but he's a demon, someone who used to be the enemy. I really loved reading this book! Corson and Wren's story is not only one of love, but of the ability of man to survive whatever may come. We survive and adapt. This book also had it's rather scary moments that read almost like a horror story. I loved the spin to it though! Earth has no doubt become the demon's playground! (I would recommend reading the Road to Hell Series first to become better acquainted with the characters.)

5 out of 5 stars!
