Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert! Justin Ordoñez’s Captivating SYKOSA, PART I: JUNIOR YEAR – Now Just 99 Cents or FREE via Kindle Lending Library

Sykosa, Part I: Junior Year

by Justin Ordoñez

4.5 stars – 2 Reviews
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled

Here’s the set-up:

Sykosa (that’s “sy”-as-in-“my” ko-sa) is a junior in high school. She belongs to an exclusive clique of girls called the “Queens.” The leader is her best friend Niko. Their friendship has been strained lately because Tom—Sykosa’s first boyfriend—has gotten all serious about making her his pretty Prom princess. That is if he ever gets around to asking her. Before Prom, there’s a party at Niko’s cottage where parental supervision will be nil. He wants to have sex. She doesn’t. He sometimes acts like that doesn’t matter.

It matters.

Sykosa has a secret she has never told anyone about. Although, some people—Tom included—know anyway. It happened last year and it was big and she’ll cry if she talks about it so she’s done talking about it, okay? Never mind, it’s nobody’s business. Except it keeps happening, and it never stops. She doesn’t want to deal with it. He does. She sometimes acts like that doesn’t matter.

It matters.

Review

“From the moment I started reading “Sykosa” I was hooked. The author really creates depth to the characters, causing them to feel like people you know, or want to know, in reality. The author does an excellent job of mixing positive and negative qualities in the characters, so they are more realistic. The plot of the book is captivating; just when I thought I’d figured out what was going to happen next or how a character would react, I was pleasantly surprised to find I was wrong. It has been several years since I’ve been in high school, but I felt as thought I was back in high school, hearing a story about peers. I wanted to pick up the phone and call Sykosa to give her advice on the situations. There are great transitions between the present day and flashbacks, causing the reader to be able to immerse himself in the story from all angles. You will be aching for more when you reach the end of the book!”

Here’s the set-up:

The sensational Amazon.com bestseller. #1 Science Fiction and Horror bestseller.

Civilization as we know it ended more than fifteen years ago, leaving as it’s legacy barren wastelands called the Deadland and a new terror for the humans who survived- hordes of undead Biters.

Fifteen year-old Alice has spent her entire life in the Deadland, her education consisting of how best to use guns and knives in the ongoing war for survival against the Biters. One day, Alice spots a Biter disappearing into a hole in the ground and follows it, in search of fabled underground Biter bases.

What Alice discovers there propels her into an action-packed adventure that changes her life and that of all humans in the Deadland forever. An adventure where she learns the terrible conspiracy behind the ruin of humanity, the truth behind the origin of the Biters, and the prophecy the mysterious Biter Queen believes Alice is destined to fulfill.

A prophecy based on the charred remains of the last book in the Deadland- a book called Alice in Wonderland.

The Harrowing

by Alexandra Sokoloff

4.0 stars – 43 Reviews
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
Here’s the set-up:

Baird College’s Mendenhall echoes with the footsteps of the last home-bound students heading off for Thanksgiving break, and Robin Stone swears she can feel the creepy, hundred-year-old residence hall breathe a sigh of relief for its long-awaited solitude. Or perhaps it’s only gathering itself for the coming weekend.

As a massive storm dumps rain on the isolated campus, four other lonely students reveal themselves: Patrick, a handsome jock; Lisa, a manipulative tease; Cain, a brooding musician; and finally Martin, a scholarly eccentric. Each has forsaken a long weekend at home for their own secret reasons.

The five unlikely companions establish a tentative rapport, but they soon become aware of a sixth presence disturbing the ominous silence that pervades the building. Are they the victims of a simple college prank taken way too far, or is the unusual energy evidence of something genuine—and intent on using the five students for its own terrifying ends? It’s only Thursday afternoon, and they have three long days and dark nights before the rest of the world returns to find out what’s become of them. But for now it’s just the darkness keeping company with five students nobody wants and no one will miss.

Here’s the set-up:
“Have you been following the Presidential campaign closely? You have? So which antidepressant are you taking?” With these words, the author begins a series of satires of the candidates and issues that make some voters hope the Mayan prediction comes true. Besides fake first-person testimonials from Messrs. Romney, Santorum, Gingrich and Obama, as well as parodies of Perry, Palin and Trump, there is an account of a debate where the candidates are attached to polygraphs, a visit to a libertarian theme park, a seminar for adulterous politicians, and fantasies of Abe Lincoln and Richard Nixon in the partisan hell that is 2012 politics. Cranky Cuss, author of the e-book “Europe On $500 a Day (And Other Reasons to Stay Home),” believes laughter is the best medicine and “Send in the Clown Car” requires no prescription. But please turn off the cable news first.

Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: Lori Williams’ Stop Thinking About It! Winning the Emotional Battle Surrounding Food and Weight Loss is Our eBook of the Day at just $2.99, with 4.7 Stars on 6 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample!

In Stop Thinking About It, Lori shares a simple, candid view of her experience with the emotional burden that food, diets, and a critical self-image often bring. Having traded this burden for good health and peace of mind, she is compelled to share her lessons learned with hope that those who identify with her years of frustration might also find hope and, ultimately, lasting peace.

This is not a diet book, nor is it a weight loss book although dropping weight once and for all is a great side effect. It’s about how you, regardless of your size, can be free of the ever-present emotional battle surrounding food, weight, and a critical body image.

It all begins when you STOP THINKING ABOUT IT!

From the reviewers:

“Her unfailing supportive tone complements the easy-to-follow program . . . the relatable anecdotes freshen up the decidedly gloomy prospect of self-improvement. Readers will feel like they’ve just had a pleasant chat with an honest, knowledgeable friend, instead of a lecture by yet another self-described diet expert.”  –  Kirkus Review

“Refreshing! Stop Thinking About It! provides simple, easy to follow steps that free your mind of the daily obsessions centered around food and dieting.” –Andrea friedman, former NFL cheerleader and founder of bootcampbabes.com

“There’s nothing out there like Stop Thinking About It! A huge number of people will relate to this book.” –Nathan Seaman, D.O.

“Stop Thinking About It! has an extremely important message that I agree with  wholeheartedly, and it has made a positive difference in my life.” –Fay K.

“These concepts are liberating. I no longer feel trapped.” –Sarah H.

“I couldn’t put it down! With its honest, light style, Stop Thinking About It! delivers a powerful lesson without the text book feel.” –Randall Grant, founder of Divine Nature, LLC

Visit Amazon’s Lori Williams Page

Lori A. Williams has a bachelor’s degree from Arizona State University and lives with her husband and six children in Mesa, Arizona.

As a youth she became critically aware of what she believed she needed to look like in order to be happy and, up until about six years ago, felt the emotional burden that food, diets, and a critical self-image often bring.

Having traded this burden for good health and peace of mind, she is now compelled to share her lessons learned.

The Education of Clint Buchanan (The Clint Buchanan Series)

Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
Here's the set-up:
The highly anticipated sequel to The Legend of Sasquatch finds its protagonist, Clint Buchanan, moving north of the Red River to escape his troubles. With renewed faith, Clint enrolls in college and tries to start a new life for himself, but bad decisions and bad luck continue to plague him. Unable to sever his Texas ties completely, Clint rushes headlong into a romance with a young girl from his hometown who introduces him to a whole new level of heartache while he simultaneously struggles with the worst tragedy of his young life. Will Clint again be strong enough to survive?
One Reviewer Notes:
This isn't your typical Christian book as its for adults with its sex scenes which are not graphicly erotic but more like a real man's thoughts and feelings before and during sex without being erotic was my feeling. Clint has a lot of things happen to him during this story that will probably lead him into his adult life trying to be a good man but realizing he still a sinner and his hot temper still gets him in trouble. Thus the "education" not only college but life once again. The story was a little hard to get into at first with all the praying and Clint is constantly thinking things out but halfway through and on into the ending it seemed to pick up the pace and you want to find out what happened next as tragedy strikes him in a couple of ways that will change his life and test his feelings for God.

Here’s the set-up for The Zen Man:

Just as washed-up criminal defense attorney, life-long Deadhead (nickname “The Zen Man”), and current PI Rick Levine decides to get relicensed as a lawyer, he’s charged with killing one and ends up in the slammer with a half-mil bail.

Released on bond, Rick and his girlfriend Laura have 30 days to find the real killer. In the course of their investigations, they dig for dirt among Denver’s shady legal backrooms to its tony corporate centers. Dodging bullets, a kidnapping, trumped-up charges and the FBI’s unwanted intervention, Rick and Laura continue tracking key suspects who have motive…eventually learning that true redemption begins at home.

From the reviewers:

“I loved every single word of The Zen Man!” ~ Delores Fossen, USA Today Best-selling Author

“Rick and Laura are incredibly charming and likable…and the book’s mystery is well structured with clues and red herrings doled out steadily to move the plot along and keep things interesting… can’t wait for the return of The Zen Man.” ~Book Reviews by Elizabeth A. White

“The Zen Man is an homage and update of Dashiell Hammett’s Nick and Nora Charles, a well-paced mix of banter, action, and New Age philosophizing.” ~ Gerald So, owner-moderator of DetecToday for fans of the private eye genre

“Move over Sam Spade, Nick and Nora; make room for a Denver who-dun-it, Colleen Collins’s The Zen Man. Brilliant and fast-paced writing. I couldn’t put it down.” ~ Donnell Ann Bell,
 Award-Winning Author of The Past Came Hunting

“Not only do the pages fly by with the action and plot twists, but the characters will keep you guessing their next move as well. I was thoroughly entertained and can’t wait to read the next installment of this fabulous gumshoe novel!” ~ Wendy Hines, Minding Spot book reviews
