That Ghoul Ava #5
That Ghoul Ava... On the Lam!
Children are being murdered.
What's a ghoul to do when the latest job dropped in her lap involves the sudden disappearance and murder of several children in the area? It's not like she doesn't already have enough on her plate; what, with being recently declared Public Enemy Number One by the Templars (an organization of which her roommate and best friend, Lisa Jenkins, is a member), and a problem involving the neighbor's massive dogs using her lawn as a toilet which is becoming a real issue for the goblin horde living in her basement.
When Ava discovers the source of the killing might blow the lid off the Supernatural community, she charges in like she has so often in the past: unprepared.
Can she defeat this monster, or will she finally find that she has bitten off more than she can chew?

About the author
T.W. Brown
96 books303 followersTucked away in the Pacific Northwest with my wife Denise, a Border Collie named Aoife, a guitar collection, and an increasing number of aquariums sporting a variety of fish (cichlids are my new favorites), I live for football season when I can cheer on the Oregon Ducks and be disappointed by my Seattle Seahawks once again. I am a fan of Cookie Monster, KISS, and Dr. Who (along with most things British).
As a person who always dreamed of writing as well as one completely enthralled by all things zombie, it is hard to believe that I never once considered writing in the genre. It is true. I wanted to be more “mainstream”. The first novel I actually wrote is titled Dakota (as Todd Brown). It is about a pair of DEA types tossed back in time to just prior to the start of the Civil War. They are in Charleston, South Carolina, and one of them is an African-American.
The zombie thing really started when I wrote a short for a college Creative Writing class. The teacher, Ms. Bose, pulled me up and told me I had an obvious love for the subject and a real talent for the style. I decided to give it a shot.
The first thing I cobbled together was Zomblog. I wrote it as a warm up for the project I had brewing in the back of my mind. It is a journal account of the apocalypse. The funny thing is that it was never intended to be published. A few things happened and it ended up being presented to me as a gift in book format by my wife for a Christmas present. There was something I will never forget about holding the copy of that book in my hand the first time.
Because it gained a readership, and those readers asked for more, I made it a trilogy (Zomblog, Zomblog II, and Zomblog: The Final Entry). It is also because of those fans that I have returned to the Zomblog universe and just released the sixth (and FINAL) book in the series on Halloween of 2013: Zomblog: Snoe's Journey. I freely admit that I will sellout my plans to write what the fans ask for.
I really want my DEAD series to be what I am known for, and in the last year, it has really taken off. However, I will say that with the release of the fourth book in the DEAD series (DEAD: Winter), the numbers started to pick up beyond my wildest dreams.
The DEAD series (DEAD: The Ugly Beginning, DEAD: Revelations, and DEAD: Fortunes & Failures, DEAD: Winter, DEAD: Siege & Survival, DEAD: Confrontation, DEAD: Reborn) is scheduled to be a 12 part epic series.
It is told in three rotating chapters. One is from the first person perspective of Steve Hobart, a man thrust into the role of leader for a group of survivors struggling to keep alive. One chapter follows a group of four self-professed zombie “geeks” who initially believe that the zombie apocalypse would be fun and soon discover that it is nothing like the movies. The third of the rotating chapters is called “Vignettes” and is a series of snapshots from all around the world. Some of the vignettes are single chapter episodes, others are continuing threads that carry on for several chapters. A few are merged into the Steve story or the Geek story line.
Last year,I began my horror/comedy series, "That Ghoul Ava" and have found it to be my new guilty pleasure.

I can't believe that I read this in 5 hours. I loved it very much. I can't believe I fell in love with ava the ghoul. This author did a wonderful job with this character. It very different then vampires, werewolves, and the stupid sex in laurel k hamilton. Don't get me wrong I loved her younger works, but to me she put her personal sexual life into her book. Don't get me wrong about sex I love it like everyone does but having it over power the story ruins the who thing for me. OK back to Ava's review and stop me on the rambling.
Ava actually is getting better with her powers. She actually is the second female ghouls in history, while the first was murdered by the male ghouls to stop the fairies and Templars from killing them all. They made a deal to kill the only female. The female ghouls are even more powerful then the male ghouls. When they eat a powerful supernatural creature the absorb them into there mind. They could get power with them. Like eating a fairies will give them over the sidhe mounds without setting off the mounds defenses. It is pretty awesome.
But I give this 5 ghouls out of 5...

This supernatural creature to me was the darkest. The lamia. This creature was human once. They are mistresses and make deals with demons for the men to leave there wife's side to be with her and have there "suppose" happy ending. But that never happens because when the woman becomes pregnant and die giving birth. Never see I guess there child grow up. That is the curse the demon put on these women. But in death they become the lamia. They feed on children. They are cursed with the sorrow and driven to madness and take there eyes out. They have poison in the veins like the xenomorphs of the aliens and it leaks from there nipple and they have a body of a snake. This is the curse of the lamia. So kiddies never have a affair with a married man because you become so worried that he will never leave his wife and summon a demon to get him to leave. So find yourself a single person because you might not end up as lamia.
My thoughts on this book was that I loved it. To the goblins that live with Ava to her best friend helping her. But what shocked me most was the food this lamia eats. I won't give a y more away so 5 ghouls out if 5

That Ghoul Ava... On The Lam is the fifth book in TW Brown's That Ghoul Ava series. This book is filled with humor, interesting and colorful characters and an entertaining story filled with paranormal goodness.
I received an advanced reader's copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review and recommendation.
