Withered- A Novel by Amy Miles

book cover of 

Wither


I always thought when the apocalypse finally began I would be swinging my baseball bat with the best of them, in true zombie slayer fashion. I was prepped and ready to smash in some heads if the need ever arose. 

The problem is...no one ever warned me that I would have to fear the humans instead. The ones who still remember their names and how to put a gun to your temple when they want something.

The others...well,they pretty much keep to themselves.

How far would YOU go to survive just one more day?

Do not fear the Withered Ones. Fear the ones still human.

Wither is a psychological thriller that poses the question...what if the zombies aren't the ones we should fear? What if it's human nature instead?
FROM THE AUTHOR:
In this book you can expect some graphic scenes.  It is a horror novel after all!  Suspense.  Action.  Death.  Betrayal. Guilt. Survival.  It's all in there...but there's so much more as well.
WITHER doesn't focus solely on the zombies but on human nature, asking the question how far would YOU go to survive just one more day.  Would you kill your neighbor to save your own skin?  Would you betray another just for something to eat?  Would you toss your morals aside solely for the sake of survival?
This is my first "adult" book and it will deal with some tough subjects.  For the first time since I began writing I have added swearing and a sex scene to my book, simply because it was vital to creating genuine characters.  There will be innocent people hurt.  There will be some pretty intense death scenes.  If you are a parent of a teen who has read and loved my other books, I highly recommend reading Wither first.
This book has been the hardest for me to write to date.  It has stretched me and thrown me WAY out of my own comfort zone.  It's been a wild ride.  I hope you enjoy my take on the apocalypse.
I will be posting teasers in the days to come...
Amy
PS: for those of you who do NOT like flesh eating zombies...you are safe with this book...for now
Think you would like to give WITHER a try?  It is now available for preorder:

A Single Swim by Kristina Circelli-

This book is non-fiction and also a must read!
Kristina Circelli has triumphantly managed the difficult task of balancing educating and entertaining an audience. The emotional effect that this book has delivered has altered my way of thinking. It also makes me want to be as big of an advocate as possible and help to spread the word that here are unseen dangers that lay in wait for the right opportunity to attach to a person unknowingly. It is amazing to discover such an amoeba as Naegleria Fowleri exists. I'm so grateful to all those involved in helping to generate this book. As a resident of Arizona I'm now wary of our waters that are over eighty degrees more than half the year! The lakes are practically a second home for several people who live in the constant blistering temperatures here. Thank-you for your creating A Single Swim!

The Forgotten Ones by Laura Howard

Such a fabulous book I couldn't put it down! Finished it the same day I got it. Being thrust into an adventurous new world where literally anyone could be someone their not keeps you on your toes. Loved the whole story,. I know you'll get just as lost in it as I did. Get your copy but be wary as time doesn't pass normally when trapped in a such a place as a magical book...

Allison O'Malley's plan is to go to grad school so she can get a good job and take care of her schizophrenic mother. She has carefully closed herself off from everything else, including a relationship with Ethan, who she's been in love with for as long as she can remember. 

What is definitely not part of the plan is the return of her long-lost father, who claims he can bring Allison's mother back from the dark place her mind has gone. Allison doesn't trust her father, so why would she believe his fairy tale about a long forgotten Irish people, the Tuatha de Danaan? But truths have a way of revealing themselves. Secrets will eventually surface. And Allison must learn to set aside her plan and work with her father if there is even a small chance it could restore her mother's sanity.

Seventeen-year-old Evangeline Frost had a great life, until the car accident that killed her father and turned her mother into a bitter alcoholic. Unable to bear the guilt, Evangeline attempts to take her own life, saved only by the memory of her beloved father. 

Left with no other options, Evangeline is enrolled in a program for troubled teens at Kindred Hides Wildlife Preserve. There she meets Caster, a keeper as annoying as he is caring; Jett and Lettie, who treat her more like a daughter than troubled teen; and Ruke, a prized giraffe in mourning for his lost mate.

Immersed in the preserve with her new friends, Evangeline finally begins to heal. But the haunting memories of the accident and her mother’s unforgiving words threaten to destroy her progress. Only her new friends and their unconditional support, along with her own special connection with Ruke, can save her.

Evangeline must learn that there is redemption for her father’s death, and that the bonds between human, animal, and life are not as fragile as she once thought.

New Release is UNMAKING MARCHANT by Ella James



Marchant Radcliffe, owner of the exclusive Love Inc. brothel outside Vegas, is no stranger to darkness. He lost his sister in childhood and his parents in college. Since his best friend helped him finance the Love Inc. ranch almost ten years ago, Marchant has drowned himself in business—and he’s thrived, despite the heavy secret that has plagued him since his parents’ deaths.

Then, after ten years of good fortune, Marchant’s skeletons start to peek out of the closet, tossing him down a trail of ruin that begins with arson and could end with murder. Because he’s kept his struggles private, he has no one to pull him back from the brink.

Except for Suri Dalton.

After a breakup with her longtime fiancé, Suri, the daughter of one of Silicon Valley’s tech tycoons, has nowhere to go except her BFF’s new penthouse in Las Vegas. The last thing Suri is looking for is a man, but after drowning her woes in wine on the flight over, she stumbles into a torrid make out session with a beautiful stranger—who just so happens to be Marchant Radcliffe, a playboy and a literal pimp.

Despite an immediate attraction, Suri writes Marchant off as exactly the sort of guy she should avoid. Until Love Inc. goes up in flames, Marchant winds up at the bottom of a swimming pool, and Suri is the only one around to pull him out.

What happens when what you see isn’t what you get? What do you do when destiny is too alluring to resist and too dangerous to survive?

The Arotas Trilogy

From the second I opened the cover of Forbidden I was hooked! You will tag a long with faithful friends and your heart with bleed with Roseline through all of the heart wrenching suffering. I love the double sided characters and admire the smooth flow of the storyline. I couldn't wait to jump into the continuing story to see how the characters were developing and what was going to happen next. There are a few things you won't see coming and it makes it that much better. 




 (Book 1 in the Rising Trilogy)   


*** NA novel. Suitable for early teen to adult***
“Now that is a beautiful sight.”
I whip around, instantly covering myself with my arms. “What are you doing here?” I scream. “Get out!”
“Aw, don’t tell me you’re a shy one. I didn’t peg you for that.” Bastien grins as he throws his leg over a rock and settles in for what appears to be an annoyingly lengthy time.
Using one arm, I swim as quickly as I can away from the center of the pool and head straight for the rocks. Bastien seems completely unphazed by my rising fury and he grins down at me. He does however reach out to retrieve my dagger from the pile of clothes he’s perched beside.
“Have you no decency?” I growl through chattering teeth. If I don’t get out soon I’ll risk hypothermia, but there’s no way I’m going to give Bastien the satisfaction of seeing me naked.
Twirling the dagger in his hand, he appears to contemplate my question. “I suppose this might seem a bit forward of me, but I thought you might like to know it’s time to go.”
“Fine. Message received. Leave now!”
He leans over the edge, peering down at me. “And miss all the fun? I think not.”
Illyria has never known a life without the Rebellion. Survival.
Nothing else matters…until she ventures out into unknown territory and is faced with an enemy that proves even more fierce and determined than she ever thought.
Bastien is infuriating, dangerous and annoyingly gorgeous. Eamon is familiar, comforting and turning into a man before her eyes. Both want her heart…but she is torn between duty and desire. When her choice affects all of mankind, how can she allow herself to be selfish?
There is a power within her that can change everyone’s fate…but she underestimated the most potent force on Earth—love. Illyria must discover if she has the strength to sacrifice her heart to save mankind.

B.C. Doyle's ENGULFED (North Wing #1) 1-21-14

I found a new author yesterday! B.C. Doyle is a Y.A author that currently has out the first two books of a trilogy that is on my TBR list. I'm looking forward to reading her newest novel NORTH WING (Book 1) that will be releasing 1-21-14....  I will post a review when I am finished!  Can't wait to read it, I absolutely love the teasers that she has

ENGULFED (North Wing #1)
Teaser #2

Hmmm ... who will you choose when you pick up your copy of Engulfed?
"You should take a step back,” I struggled. “Please? I need…” Air, I pleaded silently. I need air!

He tipped my head up with two fingers, stroking my jaw as we locked eyes. I bit my lip harder until it stung. If I opened my mouth, I would feed. I couldn’t give in.

But it hurt too much.

“You can’t hurt me,” he assured me with a smile on his face. He leaned closer until his lips teased my ear. “You can’t feed from the soulless.”


Excerpt:

“What am I, Cadan?” I whispered, looking into his eyes. “All my life I have been able to do things nobody else can. I have been the talk of the town. I have been the freak; the monster. I’m not like Marissa or Luke. So what am I?”

He cupped my cheek in his hand and looked me in the eyes. “You are beautiful, not a monster,” he said quietly.

I stared at him, waiting for him to continue.

His eyes grew a red-orange, like a volcano erupted in them. His expression darkened. “You are power, Ebony. You are more powerful than me, or any of my kind combined.”

“And your kind would be…”

He smiled darkly. “Handlers,” he answered in a whisper, “Soldiers to the Heir of the deepest pit of the Dark dimension. We influence the lesser power and feed from the weak; all in a day’s work.”

I swallowed back my tears. “And why am I more powerful?”

He stroked my cheek again. “You are Mixed Blood, sweetness. Your bloodline divides you between the Dark and the Light.” He leaned in and grazed his soft lips against my ear. “And, by the looks of your actions, the Dark is winning.”

I wasyoung.
I wasdifferent.
I waspowerful.
And if I was power, than that meant power was deadly.






Barbara Doyle has done an amazing feat and created a new spin on angels and demons. This is the kind of book that stays with you. I love the conflicts, internal wars that are depicted and how the characters are well rounded and brought to life within these pages. I can't wait for book two to be released! Now you should be hitting Amazon to purchase yours, what are you waiting for?

New Adventure

 Every opportunity I get is used to dive into a good book.  I don't have one specific genre that I stick to, I just read whatever catches my eye and that looks like it would help with whatever type of an escape I am in need of.  You will notice that when I find somethings that I truly like, I can't help but spread the word so that others may find the piece of happiness that I did.  For those of you who don't happen to agree with my reviews or posts, I'm sorry and to each their own.  For those that do find them helpful, I'm glad it worked out!

Authors looking for a review or blog spot please email me with your info and the synopsis for your wonderful work of art. I'm someone who enjoys trying new things and if it isn't my cup of tea then I will politely let you know.  Email address to submit requests <<-------click here.
