LOVERS LIKE US

Image
The second book in the Like Us series is out TOMORROW!! Lovers Like Us will give you more of those Farrow Moffy feels. Read below for the story synopis and don't forget to enter the Raffle at the very end. Twenty-seven-year-old Farrow Keene lives by his actions, and his actions say he’s the best at whatever he does. As a 24/7 bodyguard and the new boyfriend to Maximoff Hale, protecting the headstrong, alpha billionaire has never been more complicated. And one rule can’t be bent: Keep your relationship secret from the public. Farrow is confident he’s the best man for the job. But a twist in Maximoff’s fast-paced life sticks them with the rest of Security Force Omega and their clients. On the road. In a sleeper tour bus. For four rocky months. Sexual frustrations, check. Road trip drama, check. Awkward bonding, check. But Farrow couldn’t have accounted for a high-risk threat (identity: unknown) that targets Maximoff before the ignition even turns. And

It's O.K. it's just Fido

This weeks installment of monsters is the furry werewolf. Werewolves and Hellhounds have made a comeback in literature over the past 10 years and they don't show any signs of going away anytime soon. So for this week's monsters that we love we're focusing on man's best friend, or are they? 1. Spookiest novel: The Werewolf of Paris by   Guy Endore     The Werewolf of Paris is both a work of horror and historical fiction so you get the best of both in one book. This novel follows Bertrand Caillet, the werewolf, throughout the tumultuous events of the Franco-Prussian War and the Paris Commune of 1870-71. This is not a book for adolescents, there is incest, rape, and murder in this book. Like much Gothic fiction The Werewolf of Paris opens with a frame story in which the author explains his struggle with the fantastic elements of his tale. The narrator of this story is an anonymous American working on his doctoral research in Paris. He discovers a manuscript in the han

The Thief who Pulled on Trouble's Braids

Are you reading these??!! How many of you following me have read “The Thief that Pulled on Trouble’s Braids” by Michael McClung?  If the answer is none of you then you are missing out one of the best fantasy series I’ve read in a long time. I came across the first book in this series by way of the a followers request. This first book was published in 2012 and there are currently 4 books in the series.  The main protagonist Amra Thety’s is a very skilled thief who finds herself doing something she’d sworn to never do, avenger the death of her only friend. I really fell in love with Amra’s character for a lot of reasons but I’ll only list a few here: 1: She’s a female lead character whose wits and sneak thief abilities are touted more than her looks. The author never describes her as beautiful but as “looking like a boy” and “scarred”. She doesn’t rely on her looks to get the job done she relies on her wits and a strange code of ethics.  2: She’s a loner and she’s ok with tha

The things that go bump in the night are probably your neighbors.

It's the spookiest month of the year. The one month where ghosts, goblins, witches, and other scary things get to come out of the darkness and play. It's also that time of the year when we at the Book Whisperers get to share with you all our favorite stories of Horror, Gore, and thing that go bump in the night. To start this weeks monster list I'm posting our favorite Vampire Books by catagory. 1. Spookiest novel: 'Salem's Lot'  by Stephen King     Ben Mears returns to Jerusalem's Lot in the hopes of casting out his own devils and gaining inspiration for his new book. That all changes when two young boys venture into the woods and only one comes out alive.  Mears begins to realize that there may be something sinister at work and that his hometown is under siege by forces of darkness far beyond his control.       Why you should read this book:  If you want to be too scared to turn the page, if you want to sleep with all the lights on too afraid to be i

Review: DOTWAV by Mike A. Lancaster

DOTWAV by Mike A. Lancaster Thank you to Sky Pony Press for a copy of this book in exchange for a fair review. Ani is hacker that receives a .wav file that doesn't act like any file she has ever seen. As she begins looking into it leads her places she didn't thing it would. When she takes it to friends they haven't seen it before, and when her uncle looks at he can't hear anything at all, which makes her think that it is geared towards kids and she worries about what that could mean. Joe is working for a British intelligence division when his friend disappears and when he begins to look into things it leads him to underground music and Ani.  Soon they realize that the .wav makes teens become mind controlled and someone is using them for something bad. Will they be able to stop it before it's too late? Or will they fall victim to it? This was an interesting and different science fiction for me, I don't often read ones dealing with computers. Plus I h

Beneath the Skin by Caroline England Thanks to Avon and Netgalley for a copy of the eARC in exchange for a fair review. Antonia has a secret, a secret she has never told anyone and it causes her to cut herself on Friday nights when her husband is at the pub and her best friend is drinking. It turns out that Antonia isn't the only that has secrets. Sophie is hiding things as well, and so is her husband David and her other friend Olivia. David is driven to commit suicide, which leads to Antonia coming clean about the self harm to Mike, who is Olivia's husband. Sophie drives Antonia away after learning that she called her husband to discuss things with him. Sophie thinks that they slept together, because she knows that Sami has been cheating. Mike and Antonia struggle with an attraction, but when Antonia finds out about the baby Olivia is carrying she shuts the fledgling attraction down before anything else happens and before she comes clean about any other secrets.

Review: Black and Green

Black and Green by C.L. Stone My rating: 5 of 5 stars What can I say about the newest Sang Sorenson book? Black and Green picks up right after Sang and the boys leave the campground where Sang has passed out due to her hydrophobia. We learn so much more about Dr. Green in this book that if you didn't already love him you definitely will by the end of it. In this newest book in the Ghost Bird Series Sang's father has decided he wants her to come back home and for them to live as a family. What Sang and her sister could never have anticipated though is that her father has brought his "new" family back to Charleston with him. Sang and her sister must now attempt to navigate these new obstacles and Dr. Green tries to infiltrate the home by posing as a potential suitor to Sang. Things don't go as well as planned however when Sang's new step-mom decided Sang is just too young to date and instead tries to pair Sang's sister off
