Koontz is back with a vengeance!

By
I won a copy of this ARC from a goodreads giveaway!

Where to start, I have been reading Dean Koontz since I was a teenager and discovered Watchers. I loved the way his books just seemed to draw you and make you feel like you were in that book. As I got older I wasn't reading his work as much as I had when I was a kid. I think his Frankenstein series is the latest work I have read. But I won't lie from the moment I saw this cover I knew I had to read this, I didn't even bother reading the blurb I just had to have this.

I entered the giveaway and to date it's the only one I have won, and given the feel of this book I have to say I don't believe in coincidences.
This is deeply imaginative book that plays on all of your emotions and thoughts.

Bibi is a young woman who wakes one day to find she is having symptoms of a something bad, she knows it's not a stroke but she just isn't sure. She enters the hospital only to discover that she has a rare brain cancer that there is no hope of surviving and so begins the journey to save Ashley Bell.

I am not going to give anymore spoilers because I feel like even those small moments at the beginning of the book that set up everything are too important to share. Part of the magic of this book is discovering it all with Bibi.

I just can't stop with the feels, this book is all the magic of Watchers, period, it just comes alive in your head, I mean I was almost in tears 44 pages in. This is by far some of Dean Koontz best work, if you love Koontz than this book is for you, if you are wondering what the fuss is about this book is for you. Ashley Bell is a thriller, filled with the magic that Dean Koontz is famous for and a wonderful book about life all rolled up into one!

It's Chloe Neill Day!!!

Chloe Neill is with us today and she has graciously answered a few of the questions that you all submitted to her. 1. Is there a chance of a spin off series that focuses on the next generation of these characters? I have many ideas for book series of all varieties, but there are no concrete plans at this time. There will be 13 Chicagoland Vampires books and at least 3 Devil's Isle books. 2: Does Merit have shifter blood in her lineage? Nope! She was entirely human before becoming a vampire. 3: Does Mallory become an Ombusdman in this book or is she still going to become connected to House Cadogen as discussed in House Rules? Mallory is not an Ombudsman employee, and she doesn't work for Cadogan House. She does volunteer for both. 4: Midnight Marked is the second to last book in the Chicagoland Vampire Series. How do you feel about being so close to end of their story? I'll begin writing the last Chicagoland Vampires novel very soon (probably

Graveyard Shift misses the mark.

Graveyard Shift by Angela Roquet             All that I can say about this book can be summed up in one succinct statement, so much wasted potential. Lana is a low-risk grim reaper from Eternity. In this setting all of the gods are included from Egyptian to Christian. Interesting right? Yes it is except the representative of Christian heaven is a drunk archangel Gabriel, which I am not really offended by just not excited that most of the gods are semi sort of flattering portrayals’ while a mostly unflattering one is portrayed for Christians. I like the concept she is going with an acceptance and togetherness. The souls are marked for their own destinations based on beliefs, I just felt that she didn’t quite achieve what she was going for unless she wanted Christians to be represented by a drunk archangel and kind of look like fools then I would say mission accomplished. As for why the rest of it fell flat I would say that she put so much in there that it became a little conf
