HAPPY HALLOWEEN! The Butcher has come to call!.. along with the MANGLER and the VAMPIRE... How perfect could the timing be!!! I am going to start a triangle of rings for these three books by this author who I prodded into sending these onto a bookcrossing adventure. She is on MYSPACE and I was an instant fan. I will keep the rings USA only at first then after 10 readers each,,, they can go international to see where the world takes them. I would PLEASE request these were donated ESPECIALLY TO BE RINGS.. not to become part of your personal collection... they are to travel and meet readers all over the United States and then beyond. You can post your comments here and know that the author will get to see the journal entries. =) I don't know her personally but I've decided she has a great sense of humor and was reluctant to PUSH her books which is why I like her even more. A HUMBLE WRITER!!!! Well.. She mailed me some cool postcards and bookmarks that will travel with the bookrings... take one and pass the rest along... a souvenier from the author lest ye be tempted to KEEP THE book. Don't you dare or the Butcher The Mangler or the Vampire ARE SURE TO FIND YOU.... ♥ bbl ♥ Original FORUM post P.S. These are the three books and the links to each the rings... in case you want to see where they are... THE BUTCHER OF BEVERLY HILLS 5 of 5 stars on amazon so far out of 10 reviews.: From Publishers Weekly What if Stephanie Plum had an ex-cokehead for a sister? Gorgeous twin crime fighters battle a bunch of shady dudes in screenwriter Colt's vivacious debut, the first in a planned trilogy. Kerry and Terry McAfee are both tall, lanky and red-headed, but the similarity stops there: Terry's done time for cocaine possession and has a thing for dangerous women; Kerry's a UCLA grad with a fondness for dark, funny men. Together they're the L.A. PI firm Double Indemnity Investigations, a two-woman, perpetually broke organization dedicated to solving crimes, no job too big or small. When their aunt Reba, the Canasta Queen of Beverly Hills, sends her wealthy friend Lenore to ask the twins for their help in finding the $10,000 her playboy husband ran off with, Kerry and Terry find themselves up to their matching leather jackets in trouble. All roads lead to Dr. Hattrick, a pill-dispensing plastic surgeon who performs face-lifts on the Beverly Hills ladies-who-lunch crowd, but a cast of similarly menacing ne'er-do-wells, including a gun-toting Russian moll, a sleazy lawyer and a cop with a mullet and an attitude, keep the surprises coming. This is a fast-paced, gum-snapping, snarky chick-lit mystery with sparkle to spare. (July) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. MANGLER OF MALIBU CANYON 4.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon right now From Publishers Weekly After kicking some hijackers' butts on a plane arriving at LAX, PI twin sisters Kerry and Terry McAfee get on their pink Harley, zip onto the Pacific Coast Highway and cruise into Malibu for their second crime-solving romp (after 2005's The Butcher of Beverly Hills). Their wealthy great-aunt, Reba, and her middle-aged Ding Dong–addicted son, Robert, who's missing from a posh rehab facility, are in big trouble. After a headless corpse turns up rolled in a rug stashed in Reba's new Malibu digs and Robert surfaces with the matching head, both relatives are arrested and hustled off to jail. In their search for the real killer, the sleuthing sisters dodge a deadly over-the-hill TV actress, mobsters, New Age chicanery, far-out cosmic connections and a cheesy film producer. If the slaphappy plot defies believability, Kerry (the boy-crazy twin addicted to law enforcement types with big guns) and Terry (the twin who goes for leggy ladies) provide plenty of laughs. (June) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. THE VAMPIRE OF VENICE BEACH THIS IS A 2007 PUBLICATION DATE BOOK!!!! So there are NO reviews yet on AMAZON.. YOU lucky dogs...I got it early!!!! WOW!!! He He He... Here's the blurb Book Description The hilariously dysfunctional crime-fighting duo of Kerry and Terry McAffee somehow survived the Butcher of Beverly Hills and the Mangler of Malibu Canyon. But will they be able to shine some California sunshine onto the Vampire of Venice Beach? The action kicks off when the twins’ pal Darby Applewhite, a.k.a. Ephemera, Queen of the Undead, hires them to escort her hearse through the organized bedlam of the annual Venice Goth Parade. As a way of promoting the opening of the highly anticipated Dark Arts Gallery, Ephemera has planned to pop out of her coffin just as the hearse passes in front of the gallery. But while the twins are working crowd control, Ephemera suddenly pitches forward out of the coffin and onto the street—and Kerry and Terry are shocked to discover that the Queen of the Undead is in fact dead after all. The stunt-gone-wrong gets more mysterious when the girls spot fang marks on Ephemera’s neck. Suddenly the parade of harmless misfits is transformed into a stream of potential suspects and the sleuthing sisters are plunged into a nefarious world of dentists specializing in prosthetic fangs, and a goth cult led by a blood drinker with a forked tongue. Will a host of welcome and unwelcome distractions—threats scrawled on their Harley in blood, vampires climbing through their skylight at night, amorous advances from Kerry's sometime love interest Detective Boatwright, and a litter of new puppies—derail the twins from getting their ghoul? Not bloody likely. |

I just finished reading round two with the twins. There are SO many suspects and leads and possibilities right up until the end that it reminded me of the old wella Balsam hair commercial AND THEN THEY'LL tell two friends about it and so on and so on... and before you know it the screen is filled with Farrah Fawcett times 36 faces only in the book they are all different blondes (or different potential crime seenarios?) Until like Wella Balsam the twins come to the rescue at the end and smooth everyones frizzy loose ends. And boy were there were there ever loose ends... like 70's shaggy layers of them... but... all tied up like a boy(or girl 'for Terry') scout getting his/her merit badge. *potential spoiler* Of course there has to be Boatwright interruptus, you know to suspend the tension but MAN... talk about your exit stage left! Have mercy on the poor girl. She was traumatized! ;-) Off to vraciousrdr next in the ring...
