FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

My Undead Mother-In-Law by Andy Zack was a much more interesting book to as compared to the first book in the series. When I started this book I didn’t think that I was going to like it because of how I felt about the first book but is why you should never judge a book before you read it because most of the time you end up liking the book. I think one of the main reasons that I liked this book was that there more humans that become zombies which made me feel like I could relate to the characters. When I think about that last statement I realize how dumb that makes me sound but it is true. I still wasn’t the biggest fan of the narrators but by the end of the book, they both had grown on me. I am super interested in what crazy thing will happen next. This is one book where I don’t even try to figure out what is going to happen next because I am always wrong. If you are looking for a funny book to take your mind off of what is going on right now I would pick up this one and check it out.

About The Book

Author: Andy Zach

Narrator: Phil Blechman, Raven Perez

Length: 6 hours 10 minutes

Publisher: Jule Inc.⎮2018

Genre: Science Fiction; Humor

Series: Life After Chronicles, Book 2

Release date: Jan. 18, 2018

Synopsis: My mother-in-law’s a zombie. And she has anger-management issues.

My mother-in-law, Diane Newby, zombified by accident. She still volunteers at her church bake sales and cooks pot roast for her daughter and son-in-law, Ron Yardley. What ticks her off is when people don’t treat her like a normal human being – with glowing red eyes and super strength and speed. And if she doesn’t get her own way, look out. She explodes and leaves broken plaster and body parts in her wake. Nothing stops her: not brick walls, the federal government, or middle-aged spread.

But the world’s most powerful criminal plans to control zombies. His only problem with zombies is that they have way too much free will. He has a solution for that. But will it work with Diane Newby?

The world divides into pro-zombie and anti-zombie factions. Battles break out everywhere. Which side will you take? Who will live and who will die?

You might not survive this audiobook. But at least you’ll die laughing.

Having conquered paranormal animal humor in his first series, Andy Zach launches into middle school superhero genre with Secret Supers. Four disabled seventh graders all get superpowers.

Withstanding the Enemy by T.L. Mahrt

July 15, 2020

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Withstanding the Enemy by T.L. Mahrt was a book that took me a few chapters before I got into the book. This book was a slow starter but once it picked up I really enjoyed the story. I also wanted to make sure that everyone is aware that there are parts of the book that deal with domestic violence and if that is something that will trigger you I would skip this book. It didn’t bother me but that is probably because I have never had to deal with anything like that. This is the first book I have read by this author and I will read more by her in the future I am sure. I also enjoy the narrator of the book and I wouldn’t mind listening to other books that they read in the future. I also love Chance right from the start and spent the whole book hoping that he and Emma would end up with each other. If you love romance novels I would pick this one up and give it a shot.

Emma uses her overactive imagination to help her get through the toughest of days. By daydreaming a life full of love and freewill, she manages her colorless prison, but even in her wildest dreams, she would have never imagined it could become a reality. That is, until she meets Chance, a man willing to lay his life down to save hers.

But what Emma doesn’t expect is to fight her own personal demons – her heart.

Carnal Knowledge by Rachael Tamayo

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Partners In Crime Book Tours in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Carnal Knowledge by Rachael Tamayo wasn’t one of my favorite books. For whatever reason, I found it hard for me to stay interested while I was reading. This book does have a very unique plot and I love it when I find books like this one. So many books in this genre are all the same and this book was interesting because of the plot. I really did enjoy the authors writing so I am not sure why I didn’t enjoy this book. I am going to put this book away and try and read it again and see if that changes my mind. This book wasn’t super suspenseful but it did keep me guessing right up until the end of the book. I know that the fact that this book had a unique plot is the one thing that kept me reading. If you are looking for a book with a unique plot than I would pick up a copy of this one and check it out.

Newly separated and struggling to start her life over after her husband’s infidelity, Wren tries to remember what happened to her, but nothing is adding up as more horrors unfold around her. With her life on a timer and the murderer taunting her, she realizes there is nothing typical about this serial killer. Wren is pushed to the edge as she dances between knowing she’s likely to die and fighting to be the first to survive.

For the first time in my life, I’m with the family I choose.

He’s a spoiled rich boy who was put on this Earth to torture me.
He thinks he can intimidate me, keep me in my place, but I have news for him. No way is he man enough.
And it’s annoying. Like, why do his eyes follow me everywhere? Why do I lose all self-control, seeking him out whenever we share the same space?

Closer Than She Knows by Kelly Irvin

July 11, 2020

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Partners In Crime Book Tours in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Closer Than She Knows by Kelly Irvin was a great book. I really enjoyed this book and the characters in the book. I didn’t find that this book was super suspenseful but it had enough that kept me reading until I finished the book. This book was also a pretty quick read for me but with that being said once I had finished the book I missed Teagan and her family. I also loved that Teagan loved murder mystery’s just like I do. That made me feel like I could relate more to her because we had that in common with each other. I always love it when I find characters that I can relate too. I believe that this is the first book I have read by this author and I can’t wait to read more books by her in the future. If you are a lover of mystery books like I am I would recommend this book to you because I am sure that you will love it as much as I did.

About The Book

Genre: Romantic Suspense Published by: Thomas Nelson Publication Date: June 9th 2020 Number of Pages: 352 ISBN: 0785231862 (ISBN13: 9780785231868)

A serial killer bent on revenge . . . and striking too close to home. Teagan O’Rourke has always loved murder mysteries. In her job as a court reporter, she has written official records for dozens of real-life murders. She’s slapped evidence stickers on crime scene photos. She’s listened to hours of chilling testimony. But she’s never known the smell of death. And she never thought she might be a victim. Until now. A young police officer is murdered just inches away from her, and then a man calling himself a serial killer starts leaving Teagan notes, signing each with the name of a different murderer from her favorite mystery novels. Panicked, Teagan turns to her friend Max Kennedy. Max longs for more than friendship with Teagan, but he fears she’ll never trust someone with a past like his. He wonders how much of God’s “tough love” he can take before he gives up on love completely. And he wonders if he’ll be able to keep Teagan alive long enough to find out. As Teagan, Max, and Teagan’s police officer father race to track down the elusive killer, they each know they could be the next victim. Desperate to save those she loves, Teagan battles fears that once haunted her in childhood. Nothing seems to stop this obsessed murderer. No matter what she does, he seems to be getting closer.

Zombie Turkeys by Andy Zack

July 11, 2020

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Zombie Turkeys by Andy Zack was an interesting book, to say the least. This genre isn’t one that I usually read and the only reason I decided to check it out is because of what is happening in the world right now. That being said it did take my mind off of what is going on but this wasn’t one of my favorites. Right from the start of the book it reminded me of the movie “Free Birds” except for the fact that this book in for adults. I wasn’t the biggest fan of narrators because I found it hard to tell the difference between all characters in the story because they all sounded so similar. I found it hard to listen to this one as I was working because I couldn’t focus on what I was doing. There were parts that made me laugh and I am currently listening to the next books in the series and that review will be up next Saturday. I did think that this book was super rushed and at times I wish it wasn’t so rushed. The one thing about this book that made me wonder is even though this situation couldn’t really happen but I wonder if something like this could happen because of the genetic modifying products we use in the real world. If you are looking for something totally different I would pick up a copy of this book and check it.

About The Book

Author: Andy Zach

Narrator: Phil Blechman

Length: 5 hours 32 minutes

Publisher: Jule Inc.⎮2017

Genre: Science Fiction; Humor

Series: Life After Chronicles, Book 1

Release date: Nov. 1, 2017

Synopsis: Sam Melvin, an underachieving e-reporter from a small town, changes forever when he meets turkeys that won’t stay dead. You can shoot ’em, chop ’em, burn ’em — they come back stronger. The undead plague of poultry spreads uncontrollably, rocking the whole country. As Sam tracks down the zombie turkeys and how to eradicate them, his editor, Lisa Kambacher, nags him to turn his stories and expenses in on time. During their years of working together, Lisa has mellowed into an irascible pinchpenny. Lisa snipes at Sam for plebeian writing but uses her intelligence to pursue the lucrative carnivorous turkey story. Sam and Lisa ricochet across the landscape, tracking turkeys and fleeing the bloodthirsty hordes. Careening from shell-shocked grocery store owners fighting turkeys crawling out of refrigerators, to machine-gunning turkey farmers, to secret militia, Sam and Lisa doggedly report. Throughout the turkey apocalypse, they dare ravaged cities, plow knee-deep in gore and corpses, and upload streams of zombie turkey video news to the world. With paranoid militias clashing with the federal government and unkillable turkeys, Sam and Lisa doubt their ability to survive. Sam and Lisa have no superpowers. If you have a heart condition or lack humor, you should not listen to Zombie Turkeys, no matter how much you want to find out what happens.
