“Between” by Cyndi Tefft

It just figures that the love of Lindsey Water's life isn't alive at all, but the grim reaper, complete with a dimpled smile, and Scottish accent.

After transporting souls to heaven for the last 300 years, Aiden MacRae has all but given up on finding the one whose love will redeem him and allow him entry through the pearly gates.

Torn between her growing attraction to Aiden and heaven's siren song, Lindsey must learn the hard way whether love really can transcend all boundaries.

“Until Dawn: Last Light” by Jennifer Simas

When darkness falls, whose side will you be on?

For the past six years, Zoë has been anything but “normal.” Struggling to accept her immortality and thrown into a war that’s been waging in the shadows for over a thousand years, Zoë must now become who she was meant to be, joining the other Chosen to save what’s left of humanity. When the endless night falls over the Earth, will she be able to save the one man who reminds her of what it is to be human, or will it be too late?

Until Dawn: Last Light is a story of death and despair, love and longing, hope and hopelessness, and the ability to survive and keep going even when it seems impossible – when you want nothing more than to give up.

“The Kayson Cycle” by Jonathan D. Allen

A stranger enters a dying town and makes a desperate plea…

The Kayson Cycle introduces the Kayson Brothers, a pair of faith healers who once wowed crowds in a traveling show but went their separate ways after a night in which a healing took a dark turn. Jeffrey Kayson disappeared into the wilderness and William Kayson, wracked by guilt, moved to the failing mining town of Calico Hills to build a nice, quiet life – one that has lasted for over ten years.

His quiet, predictable life crumbles when a mysterious stranger walks into his tavern bearing a proposal to find his long-lost brother and do the one thing that William has sworn to never do again - have his brother heal a woman. William soon learns that he can’t escape his family – or his destiny.

Includes an exclusive sample chapter of The Corridors of the Dead. Please note that this is a Kindle Single, and around 6,000 words in length.

“Sundered” by Shannon Mayer

A miracle drug, Nevermore, spreads like wildfire throughout the world allowing people to eat what they want, and still lose weight. It is everything the human population has ever dreamed of and Mara is no different. Only a simple twist of fate stops her from taking Nevermore.

As the weeks roll by, it becomes apparent that Nevermore is not the miracle it claimed. A true to life nightmare, the drug steals the very essence that makes up humanity and unleashes a new and deadly species on the world that is bent on filling its belly. Locked down within their small farm home, Mara and her husband Sebastian struggle against increasingly bad odds, fighting off marauders and monsters alike.

But Sebastian carries a dark secret, one that more than threatens to tear them apart, it threatens to destroy them both and the love they have for each other.

Now Mara must make the ultimate choice. Will she live for love, or will she live to survive?

I literally just finished this book about thirty seconds ago and, usually I sleep on a book for a day before reviewing it, but I didn't want to do that this time.

The Gift of Joy by Valerie Maarten, in it's short 107 pages, packs a powerful punch and touches a wide range of emotions.

I'm a sucker for a good romance story and this, like I Loved You First by Reena Jacobs, is one of those. The story revolves around a girl named Joy who, when she's 6 years old, has three things - one of which is great and the other two very un-great - happen to her and they both have a profound effect on the rest of her life.

Domestic violence is a major issue in this book and one that is handled very well and realistically and shows you what can happen to some of the biggest victims of domestic violence, the children that see/experience it. The theme of domestic violence is married with a simple and wonderful love story that has to be read to be believed.

I LOVED this book! Highly recommended.

5 stars!

Hello everyone.

Today's book review of Committed: The Michael Doyle Chronicles Book One by John W. Mefford is an outstanding book.

What starts off as a mystery involving a young woman's death leads to some most interesting plot developments that will keep you hooked from the initial prologue until the very last page.

The main focus of the story is Michael Doyle who, through incidents I won't dare spoil here, makes it a mission to uncover what really happened to the murdered woman. I personally liked Michael's character (as well as most all of the characters in the book) as he was written as a real person and I could relate to all of his actions in the book.

The pacing of the book is wonderful and the twists and turns that pop up are very welcomed. I highly recommend this book.

5 Stars.

Welcome. Today's book selection is a collection of short stories by author Dmytry Karpov entitled Dark Edge. I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I initially started reading but I am happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised with what I found.

The book starts off perfectly with what ended up being my favorite story of the book, a story about a man about to commit suicide entitled "Dark Edge". I won't ruin the "why" he's decided to commit suicide but I will say that the ending was EXCEPTIONAL and completely threw me for a loop.

The unexpected is a good theme of the book as very few of the stories end like you think they will. You'll have it in your mind that one thing is going to happen and then you're completely hit over the head with something else. Even at the few times where something does end up like you thought it would, as it did in another one of my faves, a story named "Heart Shaped Gift," it's still an enjoyable ride.

All in all the book is a very solid piece of work and definitely will be worth your time. While reading the stories reminded me of something you would see on "The Twilight Zone" so, if you liked that show, you will love this book.

4 out of 5 stars!

Married 2 Struggle, the debut novel from writer (and, I must add, friend of mine - I did purchase my copy of the book to support) Varrsity is a thoroughly enjoyable read! I'm not the biggest fan of "urban fiction" but I was very surprised by what Varrsity has crafted.

Filled with very relatable characters and circumstances the story weaves several threads together, all culminating in an ending that is entirely believable; one thing I found quite remarkable is that all the actions that the characters make have repercussions and the ending is not tied up in a nice little bow for the reader (I'll let you find out what I mean when you read it  - no spoilers here, folks!).

Married 2 Struggle is a wonderful piece of work that you will enjoy. I look forward to reading what Varrsity has coming up next (rumors of a sequel) and you should as well.

5 Stars! Highly recommended.

I'm working on a book on hip-hop music (more info coming soon) and, as such, I was asked to post this press release and of course I said yes.

DMX, undeniable rap ICON, has just kicked his cocaine habit and is helping fans so that they don't repeat his mistakes. I think I can speak for all hip-hop fans by saying that we want/need DMX back in the hip-hop game.

Check out the press release and be sure to catch the show.

Ben.
