Out of the Dark by Claire C. Riley

‘Out of the Dark #1’

We are temporary. Finite.

The choices we’ve made, the people we have loved. Who we used to be no longer matters.

Because now it is all about the ending. And the ending always comes too soon.

There’s fear in the dark. And behind every drop of light, the shadows creep and the darkness comes in the form of clawing, red-eyed monsters. They hunt us—stalk us…they are desperate to destroy us.

But I have a reason to fight the darkness and everything in it. A small glimpse of light that lives within my golden-haired daughter, Lilly. She is my strength. She is my everything.

Every life is an untold story, each scene unfolding until the final act. But our ending has yet to be written, and I will continue to protect us, until I can not.

Out of the Dark
By Claire C. Riley

Living and moving only safely by day, mother and daughter set out to keep living day in and day out. How did everything start? Who cares because surviving from the red-eye monsters is the only this thing that matters now.

Couldn't put this book down, Claire C. Riley did an amazing job with Out of the Dark. She always brings out the what if's in me and then, I'm going through my how to survive a zombie apocalypse book. It never fails, she gets me that paranoid while reading her books. Lol

The momma bear emotions of wanting to protect Lilly during this ugly world had my heart aching. The feelings of unconditional love this mother has for her daughter is pure and beautiful.

By the end of this book, you realize what unconditional love means in a world where hardly any love exist.

Out if the Dark by Claire C. Riley
**** 4 Stars ****
What a fantastic read!!!

Riley delivers a story that is equal parts thrilling and breathtaking. It beautifully illustrates the lengths we go to survive and what it means to love when we've lost everything.

NYT & USA Today bestselling Author A. Meredith Walters

Riley’s ‘Out of the Dark’ holds a special place in my heart. Before I’d devoured it, I’d never read a book that so beautifully and eloquently captured the distressing, aching love a mother holds for her child. It is built into the heart strings of a woman, natural and uncontainable. It goes past biological and into spiritual.

In her most unique and mysterious way, Riley has given us a transcendent picture of love in the midst of a terrifying climate. She has shown us what it means to choose your family, that it is a matter of honor and earning and not a matter of a blood bond and obligation. I am honored to have read this book pre-release and I know it will stick to me like honey, nearly glued onto the fabric of who I am as a human being.

Speculative fiction author - Eli Constant

A beautifully written story that makes you realize that you should always have hope, even in the most desperate of circumstances. It will tug at your heart strings, until by the end, there isn’t a dry eye in the house.

Out Of Time by Beth Flynn

They thought with his execution it would be all over.
They were wrong.

The leader of one of South Florida's most notorious and brutal motorcycle gangs has been put to death by lethal injection. Days later, his family and friends should have been picking up the pieces, moving on. Instead, they've been catapulted into a world so twisted and dangerous even the most ruthless among them would be stunned to discover the tangled web of deception, not only on the dangerous streets of South Florida but all the way to the top.

In this gripping follow-up novel to Nine Minutes, Out of Time takes readers from the sun-drenched flatlands of 1950's Central Florida's Death Row as we finally learn the gritty backstory of Jason "Grizz" Talbot, the terrifying leader of Satan's Army motorcycle gang, and the secret he spent his life trying to conceal.

Not even Grizz's inner circle knows his full story- they tragedy that enveloped his early life, the surprise discovery that made him the government's most wanted and most feared, and the depths of his love for Ginny, the tenderhearted innocent he'd once abducted and later made his wife.

 Once Grizz obsession and now the mother of his child, Ginny has spent years grieving the man she'd first resisted and then came to love. Now remarried to Tommy, a former member of the gang, the pair have spent more than a decade trying desperately to live a normal existence far from the violent, crime-ridden world they'd once carved out on the edge of the Florida Everglades. For Tommy, especially, the stakes are high. Desperately in love with Ginny for years, he's finally living his dream: married to the woman he never thought he could have. But even with the facade of normalcy- thriving careers, two beautiful children, and a genuinely happy and loving marriage- they can't seem to put the past behind them. Everytime they turn around, another secret is revealed, unraveling the very bonds that hold them together.

And with Grizz finally put to death, now Ginny has learned secrets so dark, so evil she's not even sure she can go on.

Will these secrets tear their love to pieces? And how far will Grizz go to protect what he still considers his, even from beyond the grave?

Omg where do I start!? Out of Time by Beth Flynn is PHENOMENAL!!!

If you haven't read Nine Minutes, then please do so first. Out of Time is the second installment of the series.

I swear not to give you any spoilers but my emotions are all over the place! Beth did amazing job picking up right after Nine Minutes left off. I have only read a hand full of books that left me this drain in all my blogging years, I mean even the twist have twist in them and the so do the turns!

Let's not forget to mention Beth's AWESOME  job of writing past and present narratives! I'm usually one to hate those but I was so impressed because it flowed so naturally. The character build up was still amazing as in the first book!

Beth Flynn's writing is beyond anything I have ever read. I am truly honored to have found such a wonderful, amazing, and talented author.

Buy this book, you will not regret it!

Fire Down Below by Debra Anastasia

Dove Glitch is embarrassed about everything above her knees and below her belly button. when she has to fill a delicate, embarrassing prescription the last thing she needs is a sexy-as-hell (and brand spanking new) pharmacist behind the counter. 

Johnson Fitzwell's first day of his dream career also happens to coincide with the exact moment Dove needs her feminine meds filled. His glorious voice is way too loud-as in, he should be counting down the hits with Ryan Seacrest kind of loud. Thanks to Johnson's handsome face and gorgeous jaw line, Dove dives headlong into her walking nightmare and asks for vagina-scented cream. 

How could she not fall for him? Dove's only active goal now is to get Johnson to kiss her right on the lips. Either set. However, his horrible girlfriend is one of many obstacles preventing her from making that fantasy and reality. When Dove defends Johnson in the most unhygienic, unconventional gross way in the middle of a crowded restaurant, their tender, slightly, tantric relationship is of to galloping, farting start.

Each print copy of this book will be dipped in holy water by my mom, and glared by my father as he purses his lips. Neither will help. So, drop your pants and turn to the left and cough. I hope your not allergic to latex, because it's time to fill your prescription. Anally. 
                     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think my cookie is still itching after reading this book! Lol All I have to say is if you haven't 1-clicked on this book, then what are you waiting for! This laugh out loud book will have tears falling down your eyes from laughter as well as your legs! Wear some Depends if you have a weak bladder because there is no doubt you will piss your pants!

I can honestly say every page has something so hilarious in it that you can't help but keep turning the pages. From squirrel porn to weirdo Steve, you can't help but see what shenanigans will happen next. It's hard for me even writing this review because reading Fire Down Below is a must read and you have to experience this gut wrenching laughter yourself to understand it. 

Like Duke says, "Sniff it, Live it, Be it!" mark those words! 

I'm keeping this review short and simple. Reading Fire Down Below gave me the farts and sh!#'s. So if you excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom again.

Saving Lawson by R.J. Lewis

LOVING LAWSON MUST BE READ FIRST! This is the FIRST and LAST book.

** Book contains SWEARING, VIOLENCE, and SEX. If that is not for you, this content may offend!**

Heath Lawson always prided himself on doing right. It was the reason why he brought Allie Wallace into his life in the first place after she turned to him, pregnant with his brother's baby and with nowhere to go. He didn't expect to fall in love with her, but now that she's his, he's not going to let her go.

However, after the unexpected death of a gang member, the town descends into a chaos as the leader of the Syndicate gang is on avid search for the one responsible. And when Heath begins to take matters into his own hands to protect the ones he loves, he's torn at the double life he leads. The trust he once offered to the one woman that ever loved him is jeopardized as he begins to lose himself in a dark and dangerous world of lies.
             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wow... Holy Moley... R.J. Lewis as me coming down from this emotional high after reading Saving Lawson. I did NOT expect the book to play out how it did! I was worried for awhile on how this was going to play out. Of coarse I should have never even doubted Lewis and her suburb writing skills, she knocked this one out of the park. 

Saving Lawson was way more emotional then the first book, Heath and Allie's characters both grew compared to the first book in Loving Lawson. This book as you all over the place, as soon as you think you have it figure out, abruptly everything changes course and your left with a "Oh Sh#!" moment.  

Saving Lawson was so different than what I thought it was going to be. There is action, drama, violence, and tears and let's not forget to mention Ryder and how I went to not liking him at all in book one to actually having a spot part for him.

The twist and turns in this book are amazing, I seriously don't know how Lewis does it because her endings are always EPIC in each of her books. Talk about a woman with AMAZING talent! This series is a must read, scratch that! ALL her book are a MUST READ!!! I give Saving Lawson by R.J. Lewis 5 plus stars!!!

Confessions of a Reformed Tom Cat by Daisy Prescott

I, Thomas Clifford Donnely, am a manwhore.
I've been told I'm irresistible to women. Like catnip for a different type of pussy-cat. I guess you could call me a Tom Cat.

This is the story about how I lost my wingman, broke all my own rules, and found myself falling in love.

Tom Donnelly isn't the marrying kind, or the dating kind. Even after losing his #1 wingman to love, he doesn't see the point in relationships. When his sister's best friend returns to Whidbey Island and propositions Donnelly for a one-night stand, he breaks one of his biggest rules- no fooling around with his sisters' friends. It's just sex, nothing more. that's what Tom does and does well.

What happens when "just sex" isn't enough?

Hailey King is more than a match for Tom flirtations. She's known him most of her life and has heard the rumors about his "skills" for years. When her perfectly planned future falls apart, will the last man she should ever fall for turn out to be more than a one-night stand?

             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Author Daisy Prescott did it again! I absolutely loved Confessions of a Reformed Tom Cat, it had me smiling, giggling, crying and wanting to go back and reread all her books. I didn't feel the need to dislike Tom and his man whorish ways, the more you got to know him, you just couldn't help but like and fall for his flirty, cocky, and care free personalty.

Tom loves women and sex! He doesn't get the whole falling in love even after his best friend John falls in love. Then enters Hailey, his sister's best friend and throws him in for a loop. Tom starts to slowly fall in love with out even knowing it. This book has a bit of everything. You will enjoy the humor but most of all, you will enjoy Prescott's realistic writing. It had me imaging Whidbey Island in perfect clarity and wanting to take a road trip.

Will he fall in love or stay with is man whorish ways? Read it and find out, this is definitely a MUST READ!

Prescott's writing has always drew me in with her beautiful words but also with her male POV's, she is a master at them! This book is no exception, you will not be disappointed. I give Confessions of a Tom Cat a 5 Star! Bravo Daisy Prescott, BRAVO!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wow, I didn't know what I got myself into until I started reading it. I love me some paranormal romance but this one was different! It wasn't vampire's, werewolves, ghost, or anything like that. Destined for Dreams was different because it had a unique and interesting story line. Nadia has to survive off of peoples nightmare's, and I loved that she didn't play the damsel in distress, Nadia didn't like doing what she did but she knew there wasn't any other way around it.

Then comes in a new girl and Nadia can't resist giving her a nightmare, but what she finds is Hunter and builds a relationship with him. Their secret love of wanting to be together and wanting to help him embarks on this action pack and paranormal romance. This book is fill with dream worlds and special powers, it kind of reminds me of reading about X-Mex characters. There isn't ever a dull moment with Ginna Moran superb writing skills.

This book is a YA read, but with how it's written you just dive right in to the story line and can't seem to get enough. I totally recommend this book to everyone!
