Day 1, Frightful Fall Read-a-thon #frightfall

Started a little late on this first day of the Frightful Fall Read-a-thon. So, at 8:20pm armed with my trusty cup of coffee (you never know when the Zombie Apocalypse will happen) I began reading Ghost Moon by Heather Graham.

I didn't really get much done in the way of reading. I read for about 45 minutes. I read 43 pages. So far, it is already captivating my interest far more than the 2nd book in this series. I am not ready yet to compare it to book number one, which I loved so much I immediately set out to purchase the other 2 books in the series.

Already, there are 2 deaths. Well, one confirmed death, possibly natural causes, possibly the evil house did it. The second death is merely suspected. We have not discovered the body yet. I will pick up where I left off tomorrow.

Must Read Faster's Frightful Fall Read-a-thon Mini Challenge

**Look to the left...the first item that you see is your only weapon during the Zombie Apocalypse*** (Don't cheat and try to find something cool! If the first thing you see are socks then that's what you got!)

So, I looked left, and what is the first thing I see? This morning's coffee mug. On the plus side, at least there is still coffee in it, so I can get myself a nice caffeine fix before I whip my mug at the nearest Zombie's head!

What about you? What would you have to defend yourself with during the Zombie Apocalypse? Leave your replies in the comments section of this post.

A Fast Paced Medical Thriller

First, let me say that the amount of time it took me to read A Cure to Die For: A Medical Thriller is absolutely no reflection on the book itself. I was getting my children ready for school (a kindergartner and a freshman in high school) and then adjusting to the new schedule of having both of my children in school. I then, unfortunately, got sick. I did not want to be distracted while reading and rating a book that I promised to review.

That being said, here is my review of A Cure to Die For: A Medical Thriller

This book starts off fast paced and continues to flow along at an accelerated speed throughout. Just when you think they are finally going to get to settle in and work, along comes another obstacle they must surmount. It is scary for me that the truth is, everything in this book is plausible.

You get to know and love the characters and all their quirks. You find yourself choosing sides, getting angry at the bad guys, and cheering for every accomplishment this mismatched group of friends achieves.

Mitchell did an excellent job with this story line. Never a dull moment. I look forward to many more by him.

Frightful Fall Read-a-thon Starts Tomorrow

Tomorrow starts the Frightful Fall Read-a-thon. I have been debating on where to start. I have decided on a ghost story. So, my first book will be Ghost Moon (Bone Island Trilogy)

Reclusive collector Cutter Merlin is seldom seen in Key West—lately, not at all. Officer Liam Beckett visits Merlin's curious house and discovers the gentleman in his study. In his death grip: a volume of occult lore and a reliquary. His eyes are wide with fright, his mouth a horrified rictus where spiders now dwell.
Kelsey Donovan returns to the old house to catalog her estranged grandfather's collection of artifacts and antiquities, vowing to see his treasures divested properly. But she cannot ignore the sense that she's being watched, the reports of malevolent black figures, the pervasive smell of death.

Is the Merlin house haunted, even cursed? Liam knows well that some ghost stories are true and he swears to protect Kelsey. But there are forces at work for whom one more life is a pittance to pay for their deepest desire….

I have had this book in my TBR list for some time now. It is the third in a series. I have already finished the other two. I will be posting about my reading as I go, the read-a-thon way. Thanks to Michelle for hosting the read-a-thon and for explaining it to me. I am excited to begin. I am also excited to have a reason to make this book my next book.
