INTRODUCTION

Hi everyone My name is Victoria Zumbrum, 40 years old, married 14 years with 1 son. This is my very first blog. So bear with me. I have always wanted to have my own blog. I have always loved to read. I enjoy getting lost in a good book.
I love becoming part of the story and characters. I am hoping to bring my love of books to my readers.

I love reading different genres such as paranormal, young adult, romance, romantic suspense, mystery, Christian fiction, some horror, etc. The list goes on. I started reviewing books a couple of years ago and have done reviews for different blogs and even some authors. I really have enjoyed reviewing books and I will continue to do so. If anyone is interested in me reviewing a book for them, please contact me. I still have a lot to learn regarding my own blog so bear with me. I welcome and appreciate all followers.

Review of Shady Lake by Emerald O'Brien




No matter how hard she tries, Becca can't move on from the terrible events that occurred during her last summer on Shady Lake. The summer that years of abuse at the hands of her parents came to a head and her best friend went missing.
When their grandpa decides to sell the family cottage, Becca, her sister, and a small group of friends go back to fix it up. Becca soon realizes her haunting memories are nothing compared to the terrifying secrets she uncovers or the one night she can't remember that could unlock the answers she needs to finally move on.
If she can survive the weekend.

MY REVIEW:

EMERALD O'BRIEN IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS.  I WAS REALLY EXCITED WHEN I HEARD SHE HAD A NEW BOOK OUT.  I COULDN'T WAIT TO READ IT.  I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED.  SHADY LAKE WAS EVERYTHING I EXPECTED IT TO BE AND MORE.  WE ARE INTRODUCED TO BECCA AND HER SISTER WHO HAD SUCH A TRAUMATIC AND ABUSIVE CHILDHOOD.  BOTH SISTERS WERE ABUSED BY THEIR PARENTS AND HER BEST FRIEND GOES MISSING.  BECCA AND HER SISTER ARE FINALLY TAKEN AWAY BY THEIR GRANDPA BUT NEITHER TRULY HAS FORGOTTEN THE PAST.

BECCA'S GRANDPA DECIDES TO SELL THE FAMILY COTTAGE.  BECCA, HER SISTER AND SMALL GROUP OF FRIENDS GO BACK TO CLEAN AND FIX THE PLACE UP.  BECCA'S PAINFUL AND HAUNTING MEMORIES SURFACE WHILE AND HE COTTAGE AND ONE MEMORY SHE CAN'T SEEM TO REMEMBER.  WILL BECCA RECALL THE MEMORY IN TIME?

I REALLY ENJOYED SHADY LAKE. IT LEFT ME WANTING MORE.  THERE IS SO MUCH SUSPENSE, INTRIGUE, MYSTERY, SOME ROMANCE AND EVEN ACTION.  EMERALD KEEPS YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT THROUGHOUT THE BOOK UNTIL THE VERY END.  YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHO THE REAL KILLER IS AND THERE ARE SOME MAJOR SECRETS THAT COME OUT.  WHEN YOU THINK YOU KNOW THE ANSWER, EMERALD THROW ANOTHER CLUE AT YOU.  THE CHARACTERS ARE SO COMPLEX AND DAMAGED.  YOU CAN FEEL THEIR PAIN.  I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU READ SHADY LAKE.  YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.  5 STARS

Badd Mother F*cker Badd Brothers, #1 by Jasinda Wilder Release Blitz

Badd Motherfcker LIVE 2.jpg

Title: BADD MOTHERF*CKER

Series: Badd Brothers, #1

Author: Jasinda Wilder

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: October 28, 2016


Your wedding day is supposed to be the happiest day of your life, right? That’s what they say, at least. I went into that day hoping I’d get the happiest day of my life. What I got? The worst. I mean, you really can’t get any worse of a day without someone actually dying.

So…I may have gotten just a little drunk, and maybe just a tad impetuous…

And landed myself in a dive bar somewhere in Alaska, alone, still in my wedding dress, half-wasted and heart-broken.

***
Eight brothers, one bar.

Sounds like the beginning to a bad joke, yeah?

I kinda think so.

Wanna hear another joke? A girl walks into a bar, soaking wet and wearing a wedding dress.

I knew I shouldn’t have touched her. She was hammered, for one thing, and heartbroken for another. I’ve chased enough tail to know better. That kinda thing only leads to clinginess, and a clingy female is the last thing on this earth I need.

I got a bar needs running, and only me to run it—at least until my seven wayward brothers decide to show their asses up…

Then this chick walks in, fine as hell, wearing a soaked wedding dress that leaves little enough to the imagination—and I’ve got a hell of an imagination.

I knew I shouldn’t have touched her. Not so much as a finger, not even innocently.

But I did.
