#PBwkendread: Witches Protection Program by Michael Phillip Cash

Image
For my Paperback weekend read I am picking up Witches Protection Program by Michael Phillip Cash. Hopefully it is good and interesting.  Wes Rockville, a disgraced law enforcement agent, is given one last chance to prove himself and save his career when he's reassigned to a 232 year old secret government organization. The Witches Protection Program. His first assignment: uncover a billion-dollar Cosmetics company’s diabolical plan of using witchcraft for global domination, while protecting its heiress Morgan Pendragon from her aunt’s evil deeds. Reluctantly paired with veteran witch protector, Alastair Verne, Wes must learn to believe in both witches and himself. Filled with adventure, suspense and a rousing good time, Michael Phillip Cash creates a tongue-in-cheek alternate reality where witches cast spells and wreak havoc in modern day New York City.

Cover Reveal: Sweet Light by Alexia Halliewell

Image
Title of book: Sweet Light Series: The Hazelwood Series (#1) Author: Alexia Halliwell Genre: Contemporary Romance Release Date: April 26th Hostile. That was one word that summed up Lira Matthews in Kane’s honest-to-god opinion. Actually, calling her hostile was putting it lightly. Belligerent. Vicious. Scathing. All wonderful words that could be used to describe Lira. Never in his entire life had he met a woman like her. From the very moment she stepped into the small town of Hazelwood she intrigued him. It could have been her guarded, distrusting eyes or her sweet softness hidden underneath her tough façade — all Kane knew was he wanted her. To Lira, a Dean’s list medical student, Kane was just another hot mechanic. Sure, he had corded arms that made you gulp in desire and a kindness to him that made your insides melt, but they were from two different worlds. Two worlds that were never meant to meet — they both knew that. That was until Lira’s pas...

Spring Into Horror Read-a-thon 2016

Image
So this has been my third read-a-thon with Seasons of Reading that I have enjoyed doing. For me it is a race for myself to see how many books I can get read within a week. For this read-a-thon you are only required to read 1 scary book. A fellow reader had said she was thinking about re-reading Stephen King's IT which I sadly have never read the book. I have seen the movie LOVED it, ready to see the movie but sadly I have never read the book. How does that happen? Well one, I have never owned the book until recently. Last year my library had it on sale for like .25 I believe the most would have been .50 I thought that was a steal. Now the cover is torn but the pages are in great condition. Since this is a personal book I haven't had time to read it with all the other books I need to read and review for some authors so I figured I would get to it when I get to it. When I saw this read-a-thon and the fellow book reader mentioned IT I said to myself that will be my week read. It i...
