Splattered Beauty by Brandon Ford


Splattered Beauty
Author: Brandon Ford
Pages: 292
Publisher: Arctic Wolf Publishing
Available in Paperback and Ebook (Kindle)

This book was absolutely Phenomenal! Alyssa has made her living as a "Scream Queen" in low-budget B-Rated Horror Flicks on the big screen! She even had a HUGE following of fans that adored her...but this has all vanished just as quickly as it came and now Alyssa is out for blood! This time for REAL and she'll do anything to get back at anyone that's even remotely crossed her!

Brandon Ford's writing style is magical! It's very easy to read - yet takes you far into the depths of all that the characters are feeling. There were times that I felt I was right there in the very room where all of the action was happening! A page-turner in every sense of the word! (As a matter of fact, I was turning pages until 4 a.m.) No lie!

If you love thrillers, horror movies and gore galore, this is the book and the author for you! I can't wait to pick up Crystal Bay (even though it was written first)! Brandon is a Philadelphia local and a B-Horror movie lover himself! This book is sort of his tribute or "love letter" to his favorite scream queens in the business!

Here's the synopsis:

There are a lot of things Alyssa Peyton once had. She once had a prolific and lucrative career as a leading actress in a slew of low-budget horror films. She once had a loving relationship with her producer/director husband, Peter. She once had fans and a dedicated following. All of this has vanished in the blink of an eye. Now, Alyssa has acquired a serious problem with both substance and alcohol abuse. She possesses a strong sense of self-loathing that seems to intensify every day. She has also found a new friend in devoted teenage fan, Taryn. Watching her life crumble and deteriorate, Alyssa knows it is up to her to make things right. With the help of Taryn, she begins a string of brutal and sadistic murders, all in the name of a twisted form of retribution. It is up to an aging detective to stop them before the body count rises. But will Alyssa stop him first?

Sound good? IT IS! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ONE!

Wasp-Waisted by David Barrie


WASP-WAISTED
By: David Barrie
Published: John Law Media (U.K.)
Author's Site: Wasp-Waisted

The Following was taken from the author's site as a description of the above-entitled book! My review will follow as soon as I am done! This is just too good to wait and I wanted to get it out there!

A young model is found dead in a luxury hotel in Paris. A stunning photo of the scene features on the cover of the country's top-selling scandal sheet. It was delivered before the police found the body. In a city obsessed with images of perfection, the murderer's artistic talents are the object of much admiration.

It's Franck Guerin's first criminal case. Used to the murky world of national security, he has to learn to play by the rules. Not so easy when your only clue is the ultra-chic lingerie in which the victim was draped.

The fashion trail takes him into a universe of desire, deceit, beauty and profit. As the victims mount and the images roll in, Franck has to train his eye to spot the killer's signature. Not to mention whoever is collecting photos of him.

Wasp-Waisted : a crime novel set in Paris written by David Barrie and published by
John Law Media.

I am just about half-way through and I LOVE it! I will be back with my review...this looks like it's definitely going to be a "FIVE TIARA READ" !!
