Canni by Daniel O'Connor

 Canni by Daniel O’ Connor


I have read many zombie books and this one is definitely different from the others. While most zombie books dwell heavily on the anger and destruction of civilization, Canni puts emphasis on the humanity of mankind. 


Rob and Cash, with their friend Teresa, are on their way to Las Vegas for a needed vacation and marriage ceremony. Along the way, a lethal airborne virus is released over America. People start to show aggressive behaviors and turn on their friends and family. Rob, Cash, and Teresa, meet lots of people on the road to their vacation, and end up getting stuck in Las Vegas and meet more people. Everyone has a role to play during the escalation of the virus. 


Daniel O’Connor brings to us the compassion that is often left out in zombie books. O’Connor easily gives us the history of our main characters while also keeping the flow of the story. At times, it might seem that a lot of the information about the scene or the commentary that a person has, is too much. But I found this to be beneficial to the story, to bring us the brotherly love that is missing in zombie books. This isn’t to say there is no gore or anxious plot twists, there is plenty of that too. All I am saying is you will be reading about ALL sides of morality. 


I was also able to make some extra notes on how to survive an apocalypse. One thing I never thought to have on hand at the end of the world, is a spare tire!

Intergalactic Exterminators, Inc by Ash Bishop

  Thank you to #NetGalley, #AshBishop, and #VictoryEditing for letting me read and review #IntergalacticExterminatorInc.  Russ and Nina are in need of some financial help and a break from the stress of just trying to live a regular life. Then one day, Russ finds a rare gem in his late grandfather’s book shop. He asks his grandmother about the stone, and she does not know anything about it. She tells Russ to take it to Nina, who might know what it is. Only, Nina has no clue, as well. Thus begins a story unlike any Earthling could imagine. This story gave me many Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy vibes. There is planetary traveling, portals, humor, odd creatures, witty banter and a smidgeon of romance.  If you enjoy the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and need something similar, I highly recommend Intergalactic Exterminators, Inc. There is so much potential for more of this story, I am hoping for a series. I would love to learn more about the Intergalactic Exterminators cre...

At Home with the Horrors by Sammy Scott

  This book of short stories is fabulous! I enjoyed every single story. They varied in true sense of horror, but they all had horrific endings, most you won’t see coming. What We Have Here is a heartwarming and terrifying story about a married couple who have some communication problems.  Theresa is a never ending love story. This one will stick with me for a long time.  Blackbird is when a dream becomes a nightmare.  In the short story Sisters, a daughter needs help moving her mom to a retirement home. The mom doesn’t want to leave the home she grew up in. Peeping Tommy is your average neighborhood boogeyman. Or is he…. In Becca ; Becca and Bryan need help with someone watching their house at night. He keeps standing there staring and then starts to make some noises.  Sleeptalker is an odd story about talking in your sleep. The couple use their phone to record what is being said. Re-birth is an outstanding story. I don’t want to give anything away, but the t...

  Thank you #NetGalley and author #LuluMayo for sending me a copy of this fantastic book 101 Super Cute Cat Things to Draw!! This is such a cute book!
