BLOG TOUR EXCERPT: The Reason I Stay by Patty Maximini

WELCOME to my stop on The Reason I Stay by Patty Maximini blog tour. Enjoy the excerpt! “Hey there,” a chipper voice with a very noticeable drawl sounds to my right. Lifting my head to acknowledge the source of the voice, through my peripheral vision I see a narrow waist covered in navy fabric and a hand with purple nail polish and a girly skull ring, but I don’t bother to look at her further. I just can’t. I know she’ll be some nice southern-hospitality enthusiast trying to start a conversation, and welcome me to this town. Being one hundred percent sure that I’ll lose it if I’m subjected to that I bend my elbows, anchor them on the table and burry my head in my palms. “Welcome to The Jukebox. I’m Lexie.” I roll my eyes at her stupid name. Of course you’re a Lexie. “Excuse me, do you… Read more »

Jana’s Review of Ruin—by CD Reiss

Synopsis: **Ya gotta read Spin before you read Ruin** Antonio is a killer. He’s beautiful, educated, a prodigy of a thief and as violent a motherfucker as ever came off the boat from Napoli. Theresa knows it, but that doesn’t stop her from getting emotionally and physically entangled with him, and this is how, maybe, she got it in her head that she can protect him. But it’s not her job to save him, and she’s just not getting that. Every time she tries to protect him, she practically gets him killed, and the tighter he grips her, the more dangerous she becomes. It’s almost as if…well, he’d never admit this….but it’s almost as if protecting her the way he does is the one thing he should stop.

$25 GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: Dead New World by Ryan Hill

“Everyone save a bullet for yourselves.” Ambrose handed Ollie his pistol, giving him two to use. I pulled my own handgun out. Despite the presence of the Reverend, or because of it, the zombies continued their pursuit. They were almost within fifty feet of what remained of our squad, and Ambrose was the only one still shooting. “Ollie, build us a fire,” Ambrose said over his gunshots. Ollie dove into his backpack and pulled out a firewall. He tore the plastic tube open and removed several feet of a putty-like substance. Stretching it out with his hands, he made a circle around us. He lit a match and tossed it at the firewall, igniting it. The putty burst into a five-foot high flame that surrounded us. Zombies hated fire. They wouldn’t come anywhere near it. The firewall slowed the dead meat down, and we unloaded the rest of our ammunition… Read more »

TOUR Review, Excerpt and GIVEAWAY for Whatever Life Throws At You by Julie Cross

About WHATEVER LIFE THROWS AT YOU: Life loves a good curveball… Seventeen-year-old Annie Lucas is too young to remember her dad’s glory days as a pitcher for the Yankees. So when her father is offered a coaching position with the Kansas City Royals, Annie is intrigued to see the baseball side of her dad.

But when opening day arrives and it looks like both her dad and Brody may lose their dream jobs, Annie steps up and offers support. She and Brody call a truce that grows into friendship—and… Read more »
