Cruisin’ through books cause books make life worth living with Aly 10/18/2015 part 4
The Ghost and the Grimoire by Laura Hawks
I’m not sure what I expected from this book but I enjoyed this book very much. I love most things that have to do with ghosts so this book took me away. Dani and Eli were good characters and I think the story had me and held my attention very well. I would read more from this author and I don’t like many war books. * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review* 4/5

I’m Not Crazy… I’m Allergic! by Sherilyn Powers
I feel like I go through life not being able to breath and I think I should wear a mask like the cover of this book. I love the cover it is great too. This book had me trying to find how I can breath better. I enjoyed reading this book and learning more about me and my allergies. * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review* 5/5

So check out some of the great authors offering free books, and have fun perusing the different sites. You all have an awesome day!
What is your name?
I’m K.P. Merriweather though on the street I’m known as Angela Davis due to my big Afro lolz.
What is the name and genre of the book you are offering?
I’m offering Demonic Awakening volumes 1 and 2. They’re both Historical Fantasy.
Who will enjoy the book you are offering, spooky fiends or fraidy cats?
I don’t think fiends will like it since plenty of them get whacked in the novels lolz, but if you’re into demon-slaying samurai, you’ll enjoy it.
Tell us about your favorite, worst, most unique, or most embarrassing Halloween costume. Got a picture you can share with us?
I cosplayed as Tahk from the video game Hexplore when I was 15. My classmates had no idea what it was or who I was supposed to be. Despite the adults thinking I was too old to be collecting candy, I still went riding around to the mansion neighborhoods and had a great haul!
Life is like a bag of Halloween candy. Which seasonal treat are you?
I don’t know any traditional Halloween candy since in my hood it’s mainly creme pumpkins, candy corn, and name brand mini candy bars. But if i had to be a candy, I’d be a Sour Cherry Bomb. Sweet on the outside, Sour on the inside and though initially hard to find in places, easy to get. lolz, make what you will with that statement ;)

What is your name?
F.A.R.
What is the name and genre of the book you are offering?
I am offering my first book, The Sleeping Town, for free during the event through Smashwords. The genre is Urban Fantasy.
Who will enjoy the book you are offering, spooky fiends or fraidy cats?
The first half of the book has a lot of suspense as the protagonist tries to figure out just what type of weird situation he has landed himself in. His home has become a ghost town and he has no idea why. People who like that type of suspense will enjoy it. The second half is more traditionally action packed as the protagonist has identified his overall goal.
Tell us about your favorite, worst, most unique, or most embarrassing Halloween costume. Got a picture you can share with us?
Sadly, I am terribly unoriginal when it comes to costumes. There was a Dracula one and a Superman one. Beyond those two, there was only ever one other: Spider-Man. Almost every year of every Halloween it was Spider-Man. My mother wanted me to branch out. I was always, “Nope. Spider-Man!”
Life is like a bag of Halloween candy. Which seasonal treat are you?
I have always thought of myself as a Gummy Bear. Classical yet undeniably yummy and adorable.

Read another interview below, or check out one of the other authors here.
What is your name?
My name is Charles Freedom Long, and I talk with dead people all the time.
What is the name and genre of the book you are offering?
The book I’m offering is Dancing With The Dead, a science fiction/visionary novel.
Who will enjoy the book you are offering, spooky fiends or fraidy cats?
This is not a spooky fiend book, though there are lots of dead people from several planets talking, walking, flying and running in, around and through it. If you’re adventurous, believe in ghosts, or would like to believe in ghosts, and don’t mind taking a short trip to Luna to watch them in action, this book might take you where you’ve never gone before.
Tell us about your favorite, worst, most unique, or most embarrassing Halloween costume. Got a picture you can share with us?
You may not know this. Most people don’t. But Coryllim are absolutely entranced by pumpkin pie. In fact, it’s addictive to them. So, just before last Halloween, I brought Ardine, the Corporeal Assets Director for Lumina Corporation a slice of pumpkin pie. Her green fore-eye just lit up. I told her about our Terran Halloween tradition and promised her plenty of pumpkin pie. Well, it was a great time. She and I traipsed all over the neighborhood, and each place we stopped had a piece of pumpkin pie for her (I’d called them ahead). The kids marveled at her four legs and four arms, and squealed when we turned to go and she winked at them with the eye in the back of her head. She did get a little tipsy. But I managed to get her back on the shuttle to Luna without a hitch. Her parting words were a bit slurred, but I made out, “I love pumpkin pie, Charles.” So do I, to tell the truth. I may just do it again this year.
Life is like a bag of Halloween candy. Which seasonal treat are you?
Seasonal treat? I’m a mocha latte pumpkin spice with a dollop of Irish whiskey.
Where can readers find out more about you?
You can find out more about me, the people who dance with the dead, and some of the inhabitants of the Seven Worlds at my website: http://www.charlesfreedomlong.com/
What is your name?
James Livingood
What is the name and genre of the book you are offering?
Pale Rider: Zombies versus Dinosaurs
Who will enjoy the book you are offering, spooky fiends or fraidy cats?
I would say spooky fiends, as there is a lot of action in this book.
Tell us about your favorite, worst, most unique, or most embarrassing Halloween costume. Got a picture you can share with us?
I grew up in Montana, so Halloween often had snow. My favorite costume was dressing up like Santa, because I could wear my coat underneath my costume without a problem.
Life is like a bag of Halloween candy. Which seasonal treat are you?
Reeses shaped like a pumpkin?

Riley Amos Westbrook
What the name and genre of the book you are offering?
Breath of the Titans: The False Titanbringer is a trilogy of Epic Fantasy
Who will enjoy the book you are offering, spooky fiends or fraidy cats?
Both, though I think those with a sense of adventure will get the most from it.
Tell us about your favorite, worst, most unique, or most embarrassing Halloween costume. Got a picture you can share with us?
Honestly, I never dressed up a lot as a child. The only costume I remember is the year I went as Leonardo from the TMNT. We went all out that year, I even had the katanas. No pictures though, the part that sucks about being an army brat, you move a lot and lose pictures!
Life is like a bag of Halloween candy. Which seasonal treat are you?
Caramel Red Delicious Apple. Sinfully good!

I think this book is a good book. I enjoyed it and could not put in down. Sometimes I did feel it was a little wordy in some areas of the book but I was not distracted but it. I think I would read another book from this author. * I received this book from a LibraryThing giveaway in exchange for an honest review*
