ANOUNCEMENT from Zombie MC:

Tim O'Rourke author of Vampire Shift just might be in the running for Zombie Prom King. He's tempting us with the most awesomest spookiest of things. And since us Zombies have no use for bribery baked goods, the zombie hobbit is willing to bribe his fellow Zompacolypse sock hoppers with a spooktastic story that you will only find EXCLUSIVELY here at the Wastelands.

(zombie hobbit)

That's right he wrote this story just for our fellow Wasteland zombies...because you're all so special!!

Greta: and because he thinks everyone will vote him king...

Darkfallen: And he will be, with me as his queen.

Greta: Are you insane? Like NUH-UH!! Hate to burst your bubble there CARRIE, but I'm the only one wearing the crown around here. *rolls eyes* *one eye gets stuck mid-roll*

Darkfallen: Didn't your momma ever tell you if you kept making that face it would stay that way? *laughs* Serves you right for biting my finger off.

Greta: HAH! Jokes on you!! I ate my Mama on my 12th birthday before she had time to bestill any beauty secrets...cuz I'm just so damn beautiful what more could she have taught me? BESIDES ---- URGs! Get over here and fix this damn thing!! I can't very well be queen with one eye stuck staring at the sky like this, it might scare my people.

Darkfallen: Scare your people? Have you looked in the mirror lately? The only place you still have skin is on your face, which is now covered in my blood. That eye is the least of your worries.

Greta: I'll have you know "bones" are very in right now. Skin is out. Don't hate me because I'm not a fashion Faux Pa like yourself ;) Anyways, you're just jealous because Tim thinks I'm perfect, ravishing, and unlike you he thinks I'm BREATHTAKING.

Tim: You are perfect my pet. Flesh is so very....DELICIOUS. *Drool -- And bones are sexy.

Darkfallen: LONG LIVE THE ZOMBIE HOBBIT KING! and me as his queen!

Greta: *grabs Tim by the waist and sticks what's left of her tongue out at Darkfallen*

Isn't he dreamy...

Tim: Ok THAT'S IT! Darkfallen get your hands off of Greta's hair and quit biting her ear! Greta! Stop trying to chew Darkfallen's leg off! I'm not playing you two!! If you don't stop then I am going to eat the both of you...and then I will be queen-less. Fat, but queen-less. No one wants a fat king without a queen.

First we got something from the most awesome hobbit Tim O'Rourke the author of Vampire Shift.

You might remember us talking about that certain book only because well we were awesome in it and because of that we have totally boosted hobbit's fame and because he loves us so much he promised us a most awesome gift.

Well, it has finally made it to the land of Alabama!! It took a while, had a bit of a shaky journey... but ZOMG it was worth the wait!!



Here it is!! I wonder what's inside?

I fear the Keebler Elves are still at war. EASTSIDE!!

Greta's cat's had one fun time going through the box.

Especially Lucky

But that isn't what made us squee.

What made us squee are these two lovely dudes!

The Grey is for Darkfallen. Isn't he cute? Greta will be sending him to her shortly

And this lovely is for Greta.

Its unclear if he has a name so she has decided to call him Lieutenant Cupcake and has him proudly displayed on her mantle. She has been warned to keep him clear of jelly beans. She will try her best to not break this rule but in case of an Apocalyptic Jelly Bean takeover she doesn't want to be held accountable ;)

So thank you TIM!!! You are by far our most favorite hobbit.

Vampire Shift by Tim O'Rourke: Review

Vampire Shift

Published June 6th 2011
Pick up your copy today at Amazon Today!!

Synopsis borrowed from Goodreads:

When twenty-year-old police recruit Kiera Hudson is posted to the remote town of The Ragged Cove, her life is changed forever. Investigating a series of horrific murders, grave desecrations and missing persons, with her unique ability of 'seeing', Kiera soon realises her life is in danger. But when Kiera falls in love with Police officer Luke Bishop, not only is her mind and her heart opened to a terrifying new world, she comes to suspect that Luke might be involved in the killings. In a race against time to unearth the truth, Kiera must discover the identity of who or what is behind the gruesome deaths on the 'Vampire Shift'.

Book one in the Kiera Hudson Trilogy.

Darkfallen's squeefilled thoughts:

Let me start by saying that when I first read the synopsis for Vampire Shift I was a little leery.

 I mean it's talking about police work, crime scenes, murder investigations, the main chic is a cop...

To say that my Urban Fantasy radar was going off is a bit of an understatement.

More like there was a four alarm siren in my head, bleeding my brain through my ears, screaming..

 Don't do this to yourself!! You don't like Urban Fantasy/CSI type books!
But....

I gave it a go anyways...

and it was...

 AWESOME!!
Ok so this is NOT another one of those UR genre books.

Nope you don't find yourself sucked into a world of boring police paperwork, trying to solve a murder, while the big bad heroine chic runs around kicking butt, and saving the world.

 Don't ask me why but those kinds of book tend to bore me half to death...

Chinese water torture might even be more preferable in those cases.
In fact this "big bad chic" gets her butt handed to her on more than one occasion;)

Again don't ask me why that makes me happy...but it does. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that it makes me feel better knowing that she gets her butt kicked by vamps just like I would ;)

Vampire Shift will leave you on the edge of your seat, gripping your Kindle.

 No emotions are left behind here.

 Tim O'Rourke makes sure to paint a picture that will not only make you swoon for his characters, but leave you utterly TERRIFIED of the dark. Jumping every time the cats start stampeding through the house in the middle of the night. Even for the not-at-all-religious wishing you had a bottle of holy water & a crucifix to sleep with.

 Maybe even praying for one;)

Keira's character is well done and fleshed out.

 YES she has a tough girl facade.

 YES she is basically a mess with a death wish at times.

 But it works for her. I love that she is all snark and attitude slaps in the face, even after she finds out that she is up against things of nightmares, that can very well kill you.

 I laughed out loud on more then one occasion at her comments while she was seconds from having teeth sank into her. The best way for me to describe her is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Which would explain why I love Keira...because I mean who doesn't love Buffy?

There are parts throughout the book that you might think to yourself,

 "Wow that was random. Why did I need to know that?"

PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE I assure that Mr. O'Rourke doesn't just go throwing random, unnecessary thoughts of filler in there. Every last detail comes back around full circle. Taking you on twists and turns you never could have pictured. Taking the most insignificant, barely there characters, and turning them into OMG moments. Do yourself a favor. Stray away from the usual Paranormal Romance and jump into this dangerous world, where the humans are reminded that vampires are not friends.

 Where vampires are reminded that they are monsters, a creation of all things evil and chill inducing.

That's right kids...these vampires DON'T sparkle....and I loved every minute they tried to scare the pee out of me!

Don't forget to sleep with your flashlight....
