Blog Blitz: Daughter of Deaths E-book Release

We interrupt this week's Top Ten Tuesday for a special announcement! The final book in the Scythe Wielder's Secret series - Daughter of Deaths - is coming out on e-book today, September 20th. 
 
 
 
 
You can read my reviews for all the three books in the series, School of Deaths, Sword of Deaths and Daughter of Deaths. You can also read my interview with the author, Christopher Mannino.  
 
And if you're curious about Susan Sarnio's last adventure, here's a mini-excerpt:
 
 
Michi smiled, her lips pulled tight across her teeth. “We’re friends. I’m an Elemental, just like you. You can come out.” 

A scrawny girl, perhaps seven years old, emerged from the darkness. Her clothes were disheveled, her face pale, and her eyes shone bright red. A mane of long, tangled raven black hair trailed behind her, reaching to her knees. Her face was scarred and dirty, and she clutched a doll in one hand. 

“What do you want?” The voice screamed in his mind, ringing with dread. 

“You’re a Fearmonger.” Frank struggled to form the words, and a bead of sweat trickled off his forehead. 

“Go away!” The trees started to move, their trunks rising and becoming serpents. Frank’s fears returned. He’d known Fearmongers, even trained with a small group of them, yet he’d never felt fear like this. The girl’s abilities far outstripped anything he’d dreamed. 

“What is your name?” Michi’s voice echoed in the distance, hidden behind the veil of surrounding terror.
 
 


Daughter of Deaths is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Musing Mondays

Musing Mondays is an original meme created by A Daily Rhythm . This week's random question: Have you ever chosen a book mostly because of its cover art and then regretted it because the content didn't live up to your expectations? Three words: Pride, prejudice, zombies. I mostly read this book because of the upcoming movie adaptation, but it was the cover art that made this book stand out from all the other titles on my "maybe" list. The image of a high society zombie girl, created by Doogie Horner was basically a spoof of William Beechey's painting of Marcia Fox (thank you, Wikipedia). It's a funny and provocative artwork that promises an equally funny and provocative story. Alas, the story is boring and the humour is dull and juvenile. Image source: Wikipedia

Thursday Quotables (Feb 4)

Welcome to Thursday Quotables,  a weekly meme hosted by Bookshelf Fantasies . Every Thursday you can post a quote from a book that you're currently reading. It can be meaningful, funny, a real tearjerker or just something beautifully written. You decide. Click on the link above if you want to learn more. First of all, my latest post - Top Ten Futuristic Worlds I Want to Live in - got six likes on Google+. I don't think I ever had this many likes in the short time that I've been running this blog, so I'm a little surprised, but also grateful. A big thanks to you guys :) Back to the meme... Orange is the New Black is one of the most interesting books I have read in a long time. While writing about her experience as inmate at a women's prison, Piper Kerman tackles some very serious issues about American judicial system and the treatment of inmates. The book is sad and disturbing on a multitude of levels. But at the same time, there is a lot of humour and...

Audiobook Review: The Man in the High Castle

Image source: Audible Title: The Man in the High Castle Author: Philip K. Dick Year of publishing: 1962 I listened to: Audiobook by Brilliance Audio Narrated by: Jeff Cummings It's America in 1962. Slavery is legal once again. The few Jews who still survive hide under assumed names. In San Francisco the I Ching is as common as the Yellow Pages. All because some 20 years earlier the United States lost a war, and is now occupied jointly by Nazi Germany and Japan. I streamed The Man in the High Castle on Audible, and it took me about two weeks to finish it. And while for the most part I enjoyed both the story and the narration, I have to say I was a little disappointed. Cummings, I thought, did a very good job narrating this book. Aside from having a voice that's nice to listen to, he gave great performances, portraying very diverse characters in this book. While I found his German and Japanese accents comical at first, I then got used to them. So much about...
