#NewBlogPost #BookBlitz...Code of Reanimation...@RABTBookTours #RABTBookTours #CodeofReanimation #LanieMores #ParanormalThriller @SexyNerdRevue

Spin-off of the Father of Contention series

 Paranormal Thriller, Science Fiction, Horror

Date Published: 11-14-2023

 

 Freedom is a state of mind.

Brigita Nowak has only ever wanted one thing—her freedom. Labelled psychotic and committed to a mental institution at seventeen, she missed the chance of a “normal” life. She never held a job, owned her own place, or experienced love. Until now.

After awakening sprawled on the common room floor—the hospital in ruins, the staff and patients missing—she realizes it’s her chance to escape. Seeking sanctuary with her sister, she meets “the boyfriend” Renner Scholz, a vile yet brilliant geneticist. He has developed a bioweapon, the Code of Reanimation, destined to destroy the world. Or so Brigita believes. She’s been seeing zombie hallucinations as of late, a sure premonition of the highly contagious bioweapon getting out of hand. Why the connection? Because the bioweapon reanimates dead organisms into bloodthirsty killing machines.

Brigita has typically experienced death-based hallucinations, blamed on her mental illness. She, however, always felt they were psychic premonitions. Convinced that Renner intends to release the bioweapon at a public fundraising event, she teams up with a handsome love interest to thwart the catastrophe. But, as Brigita’s visions kick into hyperdrive and timelines blur, she must determine which events are based on reality or delusional constructs of her subconscious mind...

before it’s too late.

#NewBlogPost #OnTour...The Other Murder...#Mystery #Suspense @SilverDaggerTours @SexyNerdRevue

Sometimes, the most dangerous thing . . . is the truth.

The Other Murder

by Kevin G. Chapman

Genre: Mystery, Suspense

A sleek, gripping thriller that raises important questions about truth and justice.” ~Kirkus Reviews

FINALIST -- 2023 CLUE AWARD

Sometimes, the most dangerous thing . . . is the truth.


For disgraced cable news producer Hannah Hawthorne, covering the shooting of a pretty NYU sophomore is a chance for redemption. When the story snowballs into a media circus, Hannah’s reporting fans the sensationalistic flames and earns her acclaim. The tragic murder, seemingly the result of random urban gun violence, prompts protests and vigils that further magnify the story.

Meanwhile, Paulo, a reporter for a small online neighborhood newspaper, is following the other murder in Washington Square Park that same night – a Hispanic teen. He discovers an unexpected connection that is political dynamite. When Hannah and Paulo team up, they uncover disturbing facts, leading them to question everything they thought they knew. Their reporting also leads them to the man who might be the killer.
When the story is ready to explode, the truth may be hotter than anyone can handle. Breaking the next scoop could ruin Paulo’s paper and wreck Hannah’s career – and it could get them both killed.

If you like David Baldacci's page-turners, Michael Connelly’s cops, and Sara Paretsky’s quirky characters, you will love The Other Murder.

#TotalBookNerd #BookReview...The Influencer...#Suspense #Drama #Marriage #Influencer @SexyNerdRevue


Dive into the diabolical new domestic thriller from a USA Today bestselling author. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Jeneva Rose, Colleen Hoover and Alice Feeney. Shae Halston lives a life of luxury–at least that’s what her followers think. After a devastating affair ends her marriage, the internet influencer and It Girl must confront her new normal without losing her grip on reality–or any of her devoted followers. In an act of furious desperation, Shae befriends her husband’s new lover, but the closer she gets to their new life the more her mental health unravels. Soon, manic delusions replace her sanity and before long compulsive thoughts of revenge obsess her until the lines between her online persona and reality blur. When a tragic accident turns violent, the spotlight turns to Shae and the threat of losing everything looms again. Until an opportunity arises that could secure her freedom for good…even at the cost of another life.


The Sexy Nerd's Review. . .

Hmm? I’m not sure what to make of this story. I can say this, it was quite the story indeed. Shae Halston had it all or at least that was the persona she perpetrated on social media. Her followers love Shae because of her fashion sense and style. She was Instagram’s top influencer and why not? She had a handsome rich husband who worked as a real estate agent. She earned her money on the side through social media. Life was good, right? Well. . .

One night Dean, Shae’s husband, mentioned that he was tired of his wife living a double life through social media. For you see the person everyone thought Shae was she wasn’t. Shae was better known as Mia Starr and Dean had had it with his wife’s alter ego. He just wanted Shae to be present and not this made up character that social media fell in love with.

So, what does a husband do when he’s had it with his wife? He comes to her one night and says flat out he was leaving her and wants a divorce. I’ll give Dean one thing; he had more spunk than most men would being that direct. Shae was devastated by the news. There wasn’t any way he was going to leave her. Why, she had an image to uphold and her followers would find out the real truth that she wasn’t the woman they thought she was. Dean didn’t care. He was done and moving on.

Shae being the ever super sleuth on social media found out that not only was her man divorcing her but he had a whole other woman ready to take her place and he wasn’t hiding the fact that he had a chick on the side. Oh, but wait, she wasn’t just a chick-on-the-side, she was a woman he wanted to build a life with and he had done just that. He and his new woman announced their engagement and to top things off she was having his baby. Well hot damn, we’ve got ourselves a story, right? Well. . .

Dean was still technically married to Shae a/k/a Mia Starr. How was he just going to up and marry a whole other woman when he hadn’t settled things with his current wife. This was all too much for Shae to handle and she got tore up from the floor up with liquor and in her alcohol induced mind she took to her page and let her followers know what a no-good-for-nothing husband she had and wrote a cryptic message. When she awoke from her hangover and checked her page, she soon discovered that the message she intended to write wasn’t quite what she wrote and her followers were sending her tons of money overnight. And this is where the story gets a bit weird.

Shae had been in therapy for years and she and her therapist, Kelly Fraser, were more like girlfriends than doctor/patient relationship. I’ve never known for a therapist to ever blur those lines with a patient. In fact I’m positive that that type of behavior isn’t even permitted between a therapist and their patient. There are so many conflicts that come into play which is why I began to not like this story because it was too far reaching in areas that just didn’t seem plausible to me. I come from a legal background so when I read about this patient and therapist it was cringe worthy to me. Therapists aren’t supposed to try and be their patient’s friends. Their objectivity would become blurred and not to mention could potentially become harmful to the very patient being treated. This part of the story really bothered me a lot.

But overall, this was a quick read and remarkably interesting because it was so unbelievable with the things that happened to the characters. There’s so much more I want to stay, but that would be giving away too many spoilers and I do not do spoilers. I will say there were many questions I had that weren’t thoroughly answered and that grated on my nerves too. Again, you’ll have to read to know what I mean.

The Sexy Nerd gives The Influencer three and a half more followers for Shae to hold their interest. This was a story that was really out there, but it was interesting. Yes, that it was. Until next time, Nerds, you know how we do.

Open a Book and Get Mind Blown!

#OnTheBlogToday #OnTour...Sacred Band #Series #Book 7...#EpicFantasy @SilverDaggerTours @SexyNerdRevue

High adventure and mystical intrigue await…

Storm Seed

Sacred Band Series Book 7

by Janet & Chris Morris

Genre: Epic Fantasy


Hot off the presses, the final "lost" volume of the iconic Sacred Band series in an all-new Author's Cut edition.

High adventure awaits in Storm Seed by Janet & Chris Morris:

- Travel with the Sacred Band of Stepsons to a future undreamed.

- Meet the changeling son of Tempus and the Froth Daughter.

- Learn what it takes to become a dragon.

- Bring gods to a godless realm.

Tempus the Black, avatar of the Storm God, and his partner Niko reunite the Sacred Band for a mission to a dying world. And from there -- should the gods allow -- to mystical Lemuria. -

Praise for the Sacred Band series: "Janet Morris, Tempus (1987), and, with Chris Morris, Tempus Unbound (1989), The Sacred Band (2010).

"A fantasy series about the Sacred Band of Stepsons, an elite army modeled on the fourth-century B.C.E. Sacred Band of Thebes. The stories explore the fraught personal relationships of mixed hetero- and homosexual troops, only sometimes paired, as they fight for their commander, the immortal Tempus. Morris includes archaeological and historical details, from physical items to social practices, religion, and philosophy, to create a fantasy world that is, in many ways, more historically accurate than many popular accounts of antiquity." -- Robert W. Cape, Jr, in Classical Traditions in Science Fiction, Brett M. Rogers & Benjamin Eldon Stevens, eds., Oxford University Press

The Helping Heart
Annie M. Ballard

(Sisters of Stella Mare, #4)
Publication date: March 15, 2024
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Women’s Fiction

Helen comes home and everything should be wonderful. Even if she’s returning due to a divorce. But there is more…

The Madison sisters, once close, are suddenly alienated as oldest Helen returns to Stella Mare. Her desire to help everyone includes keeping them at a distance, so her own secrets stay private. Her plan backfires, making her persona non grata and upsetting her father. To keep the peace with Dad, she suggests a group activity: the four sisters will hike the Fundy Footpath, an iconic and challenging backpacking trip along the Bay of Fundy. Why not? They’re young, they’re strong, and besides, they’re Madisons.

Despite each sister’s reservations, the desire to reconnect pulls them into this adventure. The hike is arduous and not for the faint of heart. Daunting cliffs, deep forests, rushing rivers and unpredictable tides accompany the gorgeous views, stunning sunrises, and the sheer power of nature. The challenges, though shared, fracture things further, and even Helen’s campfire confession doesn’t heal the breach. But when crisis happens, Helen is called to rise to the occasion and be the sister they need her to be.

Returning to Stella Mare was hard. Regaining her place in the family was harder. Come home to Stella Mare with Helen, as she, Rett, Evie and Dorie learn once again how to be sisters.

EXCERPT:

“Time to burn some of those calories,” Helen called out. “Let’s get going.”

Evie cast her a curious gaze. “Is there something we’re hurrying for? You should let us know, Helen.”

She narrowed her eyes. “We need to get going. We’re like sitting ducks here.”

Rett laughed. “We’re nobody’s target. We started early, we already did the tidal crossings, so we are not worried about tides right now, and we have time to take a break if somebody is vomiting. Really.”

Helen shook her head and walked away toward the tree line. Where was that wolf? And why couldn’t her sisters take direction?

Annoyed, she kept gazing into the woods, though she kept an ear tuned toward the conversations behind her. Soon enough, everybody got ready to go again, and Evie called to her. “We’re all set, Helen.” She huffed a little as she headed back, chin held high.

Evie started off beside Dorie, the two easily chatting. Rett waited for Helen. “Tone it down a bit,” she advised.

“Are you bitching about me, too?” Helen snapped.

“Like that,” Rett said noncommittally. “Take it down a notch.”

“You’re so helpful,” she sniped. “Like anybody even notices me.”

“Everybody notices you.” Rett’s tone was correcting. “Especially when you’re being a royal pain in the neck. Tone it down. Nobody’s here to make a fool of you.”

Helen, shocked, took the impact of those words on her chest. Nobody’s here to make a fool of you. She had nothing to say.

Rett nudged her with an elbow. “Come on. Let’s make it a good day for a hike.”

She nodded tightly and followed.

Hiking made her brain run faster. Rett’s words rang in her memory. Nobody’s here to make a fool of you, Helen.

I don’t need anyone to do that. I’ve done it myself, more than once. A lot more than once.

Despite her tired body, her mind was super-charged as thoughts, memories and feelings flooded her. She couldn’t outrace them, and even the challenging terrain didn’t distract her, though after a series of switchbacks, landing at the brook felt like an accomplishment. Or at least a break from her thoughts.

Author Bio:

Annie M. Ballard writes about women and family ties in the small villages that feel like home. With one foot in the Canadian Maritimes and the other in New England, she digs deep into the lives of her characters. When she’s not writing, she’s happily baking, gardening, powerlifting and trying to make friends with every dog in her neighbourhood.

Annie’s stories include strong women living real lives, good men trying to do better, and always a happy ending.

Savage Passion
Ember Sparks

(Savage Bloods MC)
Publication date: March 15, 2024
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance, Suspense

He’s been given a second chance…
Steven “Slade” Graham, Vice President of The Savage Bloods MC, just got a full pardon after spending seven years in prison. Only, he has no idea who got him out. Or why. And then he comes face to face with the one man he hasn’t seen in years: Harland Carter—president of The Savage Bloods and Steven’s former best friend. Turns out, Harland needs Steven’s help, and it’s a matter of life or death.

She vowed to never get involved…
Since the death of her twin brother and the creation of The Savage Bloods MC, Cassandra “Cassie” Carter swore she’d never have anything to do with that club—or her brother. And definitely not the man who took her virginity and then left her for said club. But then Steven crashes back into her life, and everything comes crumbling down around her.

She’s the target…
A madman intent on seeking revenge against The Savage Bloods MC club has his sights set on Cassie. Now, she has no choice but to get involved with the club and entrust her safety to them. To make matters worse, Steven isn’t just protecting her life, he’s stealing her heart. Again. And if she can’t trust him, she’ll end up dead.

Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo

EXCERPT:

Cassie…

Leaning against the bar is a man. A very sexy, very muscular, very dangerous looking man. Dark, shoulder length hair. Icy blue eyes. Jeans with a bulging crotch. Black T-shirt that stretches deliciously across his shoulders and chest. My heart races at the sight of him, but more so because he’s staring right at me.

But then I notice he’s also wearing a goddman kutte covered with the Savage Bloods insignia. Because of course he’s part of the club. A beer bottle is pinched between his fingers, and he’s standing there like he owns this place. Cocky arrogance radiates off him, and he clearly owns that. He’s 100 percent pure male. Pure trouble. And one million percent not my type of guy.

Yet, I can’t seem to stop staring at him. He’s everything Ryan isn’t, and that excites me in a way I don’t like. I don’t look away, and neither does he. There’s something familiar about him, though, and I narrow my eyes, studying him. Do I know him? That wouldn’t be so far-fetched considering I’ve met everyone in the Savage Bloods at least once before. Still, something nags at the back of my mind.

“He’s staring at you,” Becca shouts over the music, jerking me from my thoughts. “You should go talk to him.”

“No.” I shake my head.

Turning away from his heated stare, I focus on dancing with Becca, but I can feel his gaze on me, feel the way he’s undressing me with his eyes, devouring me.

Maybe Becca’s right. Maybe I need to take the plunge and go talk to him. Doing so will certainly get my mind off Ryan. But damn… I’m not sure I can handle a guy like that. He’s so hard and rough and a tad scary. Not to mention, he’s part of the club, and I swore never to get involved with that life. Just because I’m nursing a broken heart doesn’t mean I need to go catch a raging case of the stupids.

And that man could make any woman stupid.
