Derek Stratton, a broke and widowed storm chaser, is trying his best to support his daughter Mel. Their lives take a dangerous turn when a colossal tornado releases a swarm of prehistoric bees from the Colorado soil, plunging them into a treacherous fight for survival. Derek finds an unexpected partnership with an eccentric bee expert and his sister-in-law, a local cop. Together, they embark on a harrowing race against the clock to rescue Mel from the Bee Tornado.


My 2 Cents for Free!

Please keep these wild creature features coming! Sometimes a reader (me, okay, it’s me) wants something creepy crawly, sorta ridiculous but maybe completely plausible too . . . Bee Tornado is all of these things and just like Suckerville, the pages fly!

Things start off when two young dudes decide that spelunking down a cavern to retrieve some wonky flowers will bring them riches. Instead, their adventure brings them something else entirely. They’ve unwittingly released a hell-storm of prehistoric bees who form themselves into, you guessed it, a BEE TORNADO! Can one down-on-his-luck hapless hero save everyone from a deadly stinging?

Read Bee Tornado to find out. I hate it when others say that about books JUST TELL ME ALREADY lol but here I go saying it just the same. Also just read Bee Tornado if you want a fun Syfy movie in book form. It has some gross moments, but I didn’t find it quite as disgusting as Suckerville. It is a fast and furious adventure, but it’s also populated with a few characters who you’ll surprisingly want to root for. Derek is the first to discover the threat of the bees. He’s a mess of a character but damn if I didn’t feel for him in the end. This story may be a creature feature filled with pigeon-sized (omg) bees but it’s also rooted in grief and has a good heart at its center. It also has a sneaky bigfoot appearance which is something more books need, if you ask me.

Give it a go if you need some buggy fun in your reading life.

    I was going to say this sounded like a perfect Syfy movie...and one I would totally watch.

Tackling the To Be Read List (1)

I was going to create a little feature where I'd have you vote on my next TBR book because I am still determined to read at least one of them this year but someone else beat me to it. This works perfectly for lazy me because now I can just sign up for Michelle @ Because Reading's meme instead! If you want to join all of the rules are here. I grabbed three random books from the top of the most embarrassing pile. So, what do you think I should read (or attempt to read) next? Let me know in the little poll down below. Also, please feel free to let me know if these are not worth reading! Remember this is the year of the DNF (at least for me!). Night Shift by Lilith Saintcrow 3.76 Rating @ Goodreads Jill Kismet.

Got My Eye On (3)

I saw a post over at  Mailbox Monday  that was encouraging readers to share their best finds of the week via their  Books That Caught Our Eye  posts. I love, love, love that idea so this is my warped version of it. Here are the books I've added to my wishlist with credit to my enablers :) Bob @  Beauty In Ruins   Spidermilk by Konrad Hartmann Eddie Stover, private eye, lives in a future where artificial humans called LifeMates serve consumers as a purchasable commodity. When Stover takes a wandering daughter case, the search for the missing woman plunges him into a world of hijacked LifeMates, psychedelic milk, and a bizarre spider-worshiping cult. As the thrall of his old addictions and the enticements of the woman he promised to protect threaten to consume him, Stover is faced with the realization that he cannot escape the choice love forces him to make. (M/F, F/F) ↞   I don't know where Bob finds these weird ass titles but I'm just thankful he does!
