new books

I made a trip yesterday to B&N as the middle kid needed a book for an English project. Of course, the Friends store didn't have a copy. Yep, I had to pay full freight for "The Alchemist." Ugh.  But, while I was there, I found the latest Jill Kismet novel by Lilith Saintcrow...which I happily paid for as I checked out. Yeah!!

Something to read on a rainy afternoon and morning....go, Jill, go! Kick some hellbreed butt!!

flesh circus

Zombies. Voodoo. A circus that draws in the damned. Lilith Saintcrow.  When you pick up one of Saintcrow's books you know you are going to read some awesome fight scenes, have your stomach get a bit queasy and have your head bombarded with word pictures of some pretty scary stuff. "Flesh Circus" delivers on all fronts.   And while this book deals with lots of scary, nasty, hellish Things, it also deals with the very scary and human emotions that come with relationships.

I like Saintcrow's raw and often brutal writing style. She calls herself a 'hack' on her blog, but it takes a lot of talent to write fight scenes that make you feel like you need a shower to wash off the zombie bits when you finish the chapter.
