It's a Tiger! It's a Quest! It's A Tiger's Quest!

Ahoy! *waves white flag weakly* I've been bombarded with work, that I have barely had time to post reviews on here.  I haven't even finished a lot of the books I had checked out at the library because of so much work. Sometimes, I just wish I could just flop and runaway somewhere. Go into some Alice in Wonderland trip and freak out because every plant and animal is a colorful animated thing that can talk (if you can catch my dark reference, I hope you liked it).

Anywho, I did manage to finish a few books that I will be reviewing...right about......NOW: *boom* commence confetti explosion:

Remember my review on Tiger's Curse (Book 1 of the Tiger's Curse Series) back in June 2012? Well I was able to finish the second book called Tiger's Quest and man do I have a story for you. 

Just letting you know if this becomes a movie; it will become a hit. There is so much graphic action (and not too bloody either..sorry gory lovers) packed in this book, that I just sat and lapped it up. This is an improvement in writing from the last book. You can see that Houck put some thought into writing this book, especially the fighting scenes. 

There is romance with a sultry taste to it, that is the equivalent of a hot woman/man winking at you across the aisle and having an intense staring contest with you for a straight hour. (Talk about teassssiiiiing!). Secretly, the suspense is all the better from having that make out session you so desire....Sorry, got carried away there, but you somehow know what I mean (you do! you really do!) 

There were times that the sweetness and cheesiness from the first book will fly back in and slither on occasion but it compliments the sultry enough to be digested. I'd say continue reading the series and if you haven't already started check out the trailer in my first review for a hook. 

Not bad, Houck.

Zombie Alert! Zombie Alert!

pssst! Over here! Yes, you! Come here!

Have you heard about the new breed of zombie virus? Yes? Well have you read it? 

Well let me tell you: It's in this book called The Infects. Written by Sean Beaudoin in third person; The Infects tells the story of a boy with the name of Nick who after an accident at his job, he gets stuck at some sort of juvenile detention camp with other "inmates" who were sentenced for mysterious crimes. While at the camp, Nick is awake one morning to find one of the inmates among them had turned into a zombie and had started to devour the camp counselors there. From then on the zombie infection starts to spread throughout the campsite and further into the forest. 

Nick soon groups with the remaining human inmates who then fight to survive the zombie apocalypse. However, the crazy part is as they all continued to fight to survive in this forest full of Infects, Nick soon finds himself into a spiral of unprecedented events.

Reading this book, I found myself wrapped and hooked. The beginning of the book starts with quite a bang. The way in which Sean Beaudoin wrote this book was amazing. There is consistent dark humor through the pages parallel to that of your good meme and the suspense is not very predictable. I found myself every chance I could throughout my work week to continue reading this book. What was going to happen to Nick?! And the world at that?! And this is not the crazy part! 

The crazy part is close to the end where Nick discovers the origins of the zombie epidemic. I couldn't believe it. At the point of this discovery I found myself in anxious moment to discover what will happen next. Then all these conspiracy theories start coming into Nick's view in which not only had him thinking but had me thinking of society itself.

It was only a matter of time in which I started thinking what if this book is really just a huge metaphor for the crumbling of our youth's morale in today's society. Just plain crazy!!!! BUT DE-LI-CIOUS!

This is definitely an awesome book. And I would recommend it to those who love a good zombie that isn't your basic survival memoir. Or even for those of you who love a good conspiracy zombie story. And of course ZOMBIES!
