Cat on a Hot Tin Woof

Meet Chet the narrator and Bernie his human partner.  Chet is a K9 and highly trained, kind of, but lets his leash holder take all the credit.  The case they have been hired for well it would not be Chet’s first choice, but it puts food in his dish, and keeps him and Bernie in some sweet rides, but really the missing person is a cat! A cat named Miss Kitty and the best witness they have is a pig, who’s name is Senor Piggy, can this get any worse?  Chet has his work cut out for him on this one, but he is not worried as he and Bernie always find the missing and catch the bad guys. 

I love this book it is unique, and just so you know Chet is an awesome narrator.  This series of books is a wonderful, fast, fun read.  Great for a rainy, or snowy, or even a sunny day.

 

Emotional Support Animals: Anonymous Fuzzball Comics + Workbook

What if your therapist was a walrus or a crocodile reminding you that if you take care of yourself you will be able to give more to others; would you even care as long as they helped you?  This book is filled with wonderful illustrations of animals helping to guide you through the book and workbook of things to do to help you on your path.  These are little doses of help for anyone just not getting all of life anymore.  I really like this as you can do it as you need to and no one else will know or judge, I don’t have to go anywhere, take time off of work or spend a lot of money just for a boost here and there oh and it’s the cutest helpers you will ever meet.   As cute as this book is and as much as I really like it as it has a lot of real information in it, this book is defiantly not a replacement for more help if you find yourself in need or even in need of 988 (988 #1 for military).

 

Guardians: Forbidden Mountain

Every mountain child dreams of the day when they get to go into the bonding shed and bond with a spirit that will help enhance and/or help them to be better in their chosen field.  However, there are rules.  You get 3 offers you can hope for a forth but that is not a given if pass on the first three, and while some promise fame and fortune, you are never to bond with one of the accursed, if found out that is an immediate death sentence.  Across the kingdom there is a girl who has some power and uses it to gain entrance in to a gang so she can find her friend.  When everything goes crazy and she has to run for it she finds out her mother is not who she thinks she is and her mom calls on a friend to help smuggle her out and to a man she used to work for so everyone will be safe.  When the boy from the mountain and the girl meet up in their new guardian’s camp they become friends, and that friendship will help them stay alive at least for now.
The characters and story are so good, it is so full of action and suspense it will keep your nose in the book a bit longer as you won’t want to miss any time finding out what comes next.  You will really want to know what comes next.  I loved the story and almost all of the characters

 

Skyshattered

Remy will stop at nothing to become a sky knight with his best friend Storm, but there might not be a world left to guard if he and his ragtag group don’t save it first.  Gem is becoming a better Mage every day, strengthening her abilities and learning more about the crystals that keep the cities a float.  Remy, Gem and their friends must do the impossible and go into the maelstrom to find the dwarves and find out the rest of the story and try and get things fixed so the cities stay afloat.

This the third book in the series is even more exciting than the first two. The characters find their strength and power from each other and will face this insurmountable problem as one, they will work hard to see it remedied before everyone they know and love is swallowed by the maelstrom.  This book is filled with action and suspense that will grab you and keep you in its grasp until it is finished.  I really liked this book a lot I wish there are more. 

 

Covenant of the Dead

This certainly was a different book then my normal.  It was filled with nuns, priests, a pope, a scholar, and a medium to round out the cast, and one is a murderer, and has been for a long time, but who?  This book will take you all around the Boston area and some areas in Vatican City.  But when a nun and the scholar, being old friends, team up for a paper to publish on the subject of nunicide they didn’t know they would also be the ones to solve these heinous crimes.

Kind of Dan Brown but not either.  It was a wonderful book and I loved the characters, even the creepy ones.  This book will keep you guessing until the end but learning some of the insights in to the Catholic church is interesting, especially the past.  I really like this book because of the mystery that is hard to solve.

 

Salvage System 2

You would think after surviving the Salvage System and saving their city that Chis Mason and friends would get a little break to rest to recover, but the system has other ideas and sending them to a new world and stripping the group of skills and their attribute that pretty much sends the group back to newbie status.  They have to find and try to make some new friends before the other creatures kill them all, but they will have to figure out who the good guys and bad guys are, not to mention make friends with some who would rather you go away, while avoiding the ones that want to eat you for lunch.

This is another wonderful book/audio by the very talented Sansbury-Smith and a voice actor not to be missed, Michael Krammer, in this the story of Chris Mason and friends.  The characters are fun and I really love Bunny and it is awesome that he gets a girlfriend.  I loved the Hell Diver references that popped up every now and again, very fun for those of who get to listen/read the different series of the author.   I love how these misfits have come together and are now more of a family then just a group.  This is a great book/audio and I can not wait for book 3.

 

Enemy of My Enemy (A Daredevil Marvel Crime Sereis)

This is a Marvel Crime novel featuring Matt Murdock, otherwise named Daredevil.  It appears that Punisher has killed a cop and Kingpin.  He gives himself up and Matt signs up to be his lawyer against Foggy’s vote, Punisher is adamant he never killed a cop but never said yes or no to Kingpin and doesn’t help Matt put together a defense. Hat leaves Matt to do what he can in the courtroom but he can do so much more on the streets as Daredevil with big thanks to his newspaper friend Ben.  I will stop there because you need the read the rest yourself.

This was so good but being a fan of these offshoots of Marvel I figured I would like it.  If you are a purest of the original comic there might be some differences, but I didn’t mind.  I would have to say I like Daredevil the most as he has really no superpowers, just what he has been trained for since he lost his sight as a child. This book is action packed and fast paced so hang on this will be quite the ride.
