It all happens so fast. Ten people in a coffee shop, going through their morning routine. Then a ticking sound. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. And all of a sudden the group of strangers find themselves and the coffee shop at the end of the Cretaceous, on a prehistoric riverbank.

Ebook Review: Creeping Beath
I’m so happy that Matt Pike decided to write this series. In the fourth book of the series, Zombie RiZing: Creeping Beath, the story picks up right where it left off. Beath and the gang are driving through the city, trying to steer clear of grunts (zombies), giants, and other creatures as they make their way to the shopping mall for supplies. The poor kids, plus Ms. … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: Creeping Beath
Ebook Review: Life and Beath
Matt Pike is on a roll. He’s churning out books on a regular basis, and so far they’ve all been so good whenever I pick one up I can’t stop reading until I finish. Life and Beath gives some of the back story of Zhang, or Z-Hang, a plucky girl who has the power to move objects, and grunts (a.k.a zombies) from far away, using hand gestures. Without giving too much away, poor … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: Life and Beath
Ebook Review: A Fate Worse Than Beath
Matt Pike’s “A Fate Worse than Beath,” Book 2 of his Zombie RiZing series, picks right up where Book 1 ends. This time, Beath and her group of friends, Abby, Zhang, Sonny, and Vihaan, along with their science teacher Ms. Simmons a.k.a Ms. Magic (a nickname that is still being deliberated) go up against a giant and mean-spirited teenagers as well as the usual zombies … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: A Fate Worse Than Beath

Ebook Review: Kings of the World
Kings of the World is Matt Pike’s first novel, though it’s the second book I have read of his (see my review of Apocalypse: Diary of a Sruvivor, where I decided I must read every book he ever writes). Kings of the World is about four teenage boys—Cooper, The Ginge, Knuckles, and Pete—who are chosen to represent Earth on the Galactic Council, a committee comprising of members … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: Kings of the World
E-Book Review: Apocalypse
I met the author Justin Bruystens via Write or Read—he’s an alpha and beta tester who has provided invaluable feedback. When he told me the name of his e-book, I immediately purchased a copy. It sounded so cool—a bunch of apocalyptic short stories. I was not disappointed. Bruystens has a very eloquent style. His book is a mixture of short stories and poems, all loosely … [Read more...] about E-Book Review: Apocalypse
E-Book Review: Don’t Judge a Book By Its Magic
I’m a fan of magic, as well as the author Kate Policani. She’s a self-published author with some very creative marketing ideas, and I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to interview her (interview to be posted later). Her newest book is Don’t Judge a Book By Its Magic, and it tells the story of 18-year-old Colleen, who suddenly discovers she’s part of a race of people … [Read more...] about E-Book Review: Don’t Judge a Book By Its Magic
E-Book Review: Under the Thelián Sky
The premise alone of Under the Thelian Sky is intriguing. Frank “The Christian Noob” has spent many years struggling with his faith, and I found his book to be creative and a unique perspective on the history of the human race. I’d characterize the writing style of the story to be experimental, since it’s written as a report. At times, this can be dry, but overall … [Read more...] about E-Book Review: Under the Thelián Sky
