Review: Silence by Natasha Preston

Sigh..... I'm having a hard time with this book. Oakley is a 16 year old girl, who has never spoken a word since she was 5. She is afraid to ruin her family if she spoke. Trying to live life as a mute teenager is hard, especially with the lurking fear of "Frank" returning. Okay, so here is my problem. The grammar is horrendous. Every paragraph has a mess up. It drove me nuts. There is no flow. It jumps, constantly. You have NO clue where one scene starts and one ends. It NEEDS to have a decent brea   Star Rating: 1/5 stars Recommend: No

Sneak Peak - Angela Blount

Because my awesome friend Angela Blount likes to torture her readers with snippets from her new book in progress.

Laura tried to give him a grateful smile, but felt her lips quiver and twitch instead. “Thank you,” she managed at last, looking down at her hands. Another kind of regret had begun to settle down over her, like the weight of wet clothing. It was the guilt of wondering how much backlash her friend was going to suffer for intervening on her behalf. “I’m so sorry if I got you in trouble with your grand—your meemaw.”

“Naw.” Louis gave a not-quite-authentic chuckle. “I got a good talkin’ to about how to treat a lady, but I don’t think she was mad. She even insisted on fussing over you herself when I brought you in.” He gave Laura’s shoulders one last squeeze and released them. The slight withdraw left her feeling so bereft, she almost leaned in after them.

“She must be sleepin’ late—I haven’t heard a peep out of her yet,” he went on motioning toward his dresser at a speaker-faced device with a steady red light glowing in the bottom corner.

“Is that… a baby monitor?” Laura asked, in dim bewilderment.

“I prefer to call it a redneck elder-care intercom system. RECIS for short.” He formed his first side-skewed grin of the morning with a slow air of caution, as though gauging her tolerance to humor. “It only works one way, so I spose’ it’s more like a broken walkie-talkie. But R-E-C-B-W-T-S doesn’t flow quite as nice.”

Review: Apex Predator (book 1) by Glyn Gardner

Star Review:  4/5 stars

Source: The author sent me a ecopy of this book for an honest review. Apex Predator had a great plot, great characters and it was a page turner. I really enjoyed this book. I had no idea it was a zombie book, which is one of my weaknesses. I really enjoyed reading it! I couldn't put it down. As for what I disliked... The editor of this book has disappointed me. I've read books with typos before but the Editor is suppose to fix all the typos. I constantly ran across typos and words that don't fit.

I've read books with typos before but the Editor is suppose to fix all the typos. I constantly ran across typos and words that don't fit. For example. One page the character Jackson was talking but the name Anderson was there instead. (This happened sometime after the "Body Shop" incident.) Other than the editor's failed attempt at doing his/her job, this book was wonderful! I really enjoyed it
