ARC Mini Reviews: Undeadly, Stray Souls, and Blood Bond

You know how sometimes you get so excited when the new ARCs are released that you just have to request them all… but then you have to find enough time to read and review them?  That’s the boat I found myself in this month, so to catch up, I’m sharing three mini reviews about the ARCs I most recently read. Undeadly by Michele Vail Book #1 in the Reaper Diaries series Publication Date: 27 Nov 2012 ARC Provided by Netgalley and Harlequin Teen Synopsis from Goodreads: The day I turned 16, my boyfriend-to-be died.

Review: Disappearing Nightly (Esther Diamond #1) by Laura Resnick

Disappearing Nightly (Esther Diamond #1) by Laura Resnick *purchased e-book from Amazon* Regina’s Rating: 3.5 Stars/Skulls; Grade B+ Blurb: Regina’s Review: 3.5 stars, but I am rounding up. Why is this author not getting more attention? Laura Resnick is a recent discovery for me Fallen from Grace. Fallen from Grace suffers from a really bad cover and not enough buzz — I think the cover turns readers away (it shouldn’t, the story is great). Disappearing Nightly suffers similarly. Apparently The Esther Diamond series has quite a few books in it (5!) and she has an epic fantasy series also. But I never [ Read More of this Review ]

Red Seas Under Red Skies by Scott Lynch Book #2 – The Gentlemen Bastards Genre: Epic Fantasy Audiobook purchased from Audible.com   D.G.’s Rating: 4.5 skulls (A-) Crooked Warden! But there was some action in this book: pirate raids, fights at sea, prison breaks, a mutiny, vengeance, rappelling down cliffs and buildings, fights to the death, cheating at cards, double crossings, deceptions, schemes and everything you would expect out of the Gentlemen Bastards, all spiced with a healthy dose of humor, staggering violence and lots of style.

ARC Review:  Hanging by a Thread by Sophie Littlefield Book provided by NetGalley and Random House Release Date: September 11, 2012 AH’s Review – 3 Stars – C+ I was quite excited to get an advance reader copy of Hanging by a Thread. I loved Sophie Littlefield’s Aftertime series and I have her other books on my bloated to-read list as well. While I liked Hanging by a Thread, it was a bit disappointing for me. Perhaps it was because it was nothing at all like Aftertime. Perhaps it was because it was a young adult book and some of [ Read More of this Review ]

Freebie Finds: Audio Books (The Road Trip Edition)

We’re back!!! So what do you do when you have 2 kids and thoughts of the beach? Road Trip! How do you keep those kids occupied? DVDs, MP3′s, and other assorted electronics?

If you haven’t had a chance to see this site, they have 2 free audio books per week during the summer. You’ve got to grab them when they are available and then you can [ Read More of this Review ]

Review: God Save the Queen by Kate Locke Book 1 of The Immortal Empire series Book Provided by NetGalley and the publisher AH’s Review – 3.5 Skulls – B+ Steampunk! Vampires! Werewolves! All of my favorites in one place. Does it work? Yes and no. God Save the Queen has extensive and extremely detailed world building. A lot of thought and creativity went into this world. At first, it really feels like a big, giant info dump. At one point I had noted that the world was fascinating but the story seemed secondary. If you can get through this part, [ Read More of this Review ]

I was transported back in time to the turn of the 20th century Los Angeles, a place where hover boards and zeppelins fly in the sky. Our heroine, a “sparky” girl named Noli repairs cars and other gadgets. Noli takes her best friend V (Steven) on a joyride in her lovingly restored flying car.

A Bad Day for Mercy (Stella Hardesty #4) by Sophie Littlefield 5 Stars/ Grade A+ *Purchased Audio Book from Audible.com* Regina’s Review This one is my favorite in the series so far.  Except, I keep saying that with regard to each subsequent Stella Hardesty book that I read.  But I really mean it every time I say that! I listened to the audio version of this book (again) and loved it.  There are so many laugh out loud moments and brilliant “Stellaisms” and general world observations.  Reading this book makes me realize that Sophie Littlefield must be such an amazing person, funny [ Read More of this Review ]

Book 1 in Cyborgs: More Than Machines AH’s Review – 3.5 stars – B Take a moment and admire that book cover. Mmmmm…. I’ve got to hand it to Eve Langlais. She takes a cyborg man (and here I was picturing Data from Star Trek) and makes him into a sex machine. Cyborg sex! Can you imagine? He can keep going and going…..

Review: Bad Day for Scandal by Sophie Littlefield

Bad Day for Scandal (Stella Hardesty #3) by Sophie Littlefield *audio book purchased from audible.com* Regina’s Rating: 5 Skulls; Grade A When I think of Stella Hardesty one word comes to mind:  BADASS.  Now, lest you think I am taking advantage of marketing my blog in the text of this review – let me prove to you why Stella is so gosh darned BADASS. At the age of 50 she redefined her body from chubby to svelte, powerful and able to endure a lot of physical activity. At the age of 49 she killed (in defense and out of anger) [ Read More of this Review ]

I know this is weird (and when have I not been weird) but it reminded me of my favorite pizza. Whenever I want to be lazy (which is often), and not take the time to get out the ingredients, slice and dice, and cook dinner, I get this wonderful pizza from down the street. And I love it. It is so much easier than making dinner. And really, it [ Read More of this Review ]

Bad Day for Sorry by Sophie Littlefield Audio book purchased from audible.com Regina’s Rating: 4.5 Skulls, Grade A Avenging angels in books come in a few different forms, but usually they are  super hot young things either male or female.  They are highly educated and have top of the line clothes.  Well, not in Bad Day for Sorry.  Bad Day for Sorry is not a typical adventure or thriller book.  The main character is a fifty year old widow who owns a sewing notions shop and runs a side business of helping women safely leave abusive relationships.  Stella, the main character, [ Read More of this Review ]

I think the Sorry/Stella series is my favorite of Sophie Littlefield’s. Stella, the main character in this series, is a 50 year old widow who likes drinking Jack Daniels before she goes to bed and owns a sewing notions shop [ Read More of this Review ]
