Author: Jessica Fortunato ASIN: B0076D11WK Publication Date: January 1,2011 Goodreads Page: Click Here The Sin Collector" follows the life of Liliana, a born Sin Collector. She has spent over 100 years absorbing people's sins so they may rest in peace come death. However when she meets another Collector, one who insists everything she has been taught is a lie, Liliana must make her way from Sunny L.A. all the way to the streets of Madrid.

For this week's Zurvival Saturday I wanted to discuss my Top 5 favorite Zombie Slaying weapons. 1.) The Crossbow - Before Daryl Dixon, a young woman named Buffy Summers carried one around making the undead obsessed me fall in love. Not only does a crossbow look cool but it also is good at killing things (animal and zombie alike). Now granted crossbows do have weight to them so it is important to find one and become accustomed to it before SHTF. I'd even go so far to say that you should go hunting with it a few times as well, that way you can feel what it's like ripping an arrow out of a creature. Plus Hunting is a valuable skill to learn and who knows you might just catch some dinner on your first go out. 2.) The Parang - Think of the parang like the sexier older brother of the machete. Light, razor sharp and perfectly balanced, this is one of the best weapons you could own if a Zombie Apocalypse were to happen. Plus it's renewable. All you need is a whetstone or ...

ISBN: 1592238270 (ISBN13: 9781592238279) Author: Bathroom Readers' Institute Expected Publication: June 12,2012 Publisher: Portable Press I was provided a copy of this E-book by Netgalley in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own and I was not compensated in any way for them. Review: Most people don't know this but I am a HUGE Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Fan. It really is no wonder that I gravitated to this book the moment I saw it on Netgalley. This installment to The Uncle John's Bathroom Reader collection was definitely geared to kids, but honestly as an adult I found it enjoyable as well. I highly recommend picking this up in paperback so you can do the fun crosswords and games found within. Something I enjoyed and noticed while reading was that it didn't dumb down the facts for the kids. The facts were simplified sure but it didn't insult their intelligence. I personally think that is important because it encourages the kids to cont...

Expected Publication: June 12,2012 The Bastion was humanity’s last hope against the fearsome undead creatures known as the Inferi Scourge. A fortified city with a high wall, surrounded by lush land rich with all the resources needed to survive, protected by high mountain summits, and a massive gate to secure the only pass into the valley, the Bastion became the last stronghold of the living on earth. But one fateful day, the gate failed and the Inferi Scourge destroyed the human settlements outside the walls and trapped the survivors inside the city. Now decades later, the last remaining humans are struggling to survive in a dying city as resources and hope dwindle. Vanguard Maria Martinez has lived her whole life within the towering walls of steel. She yearns for a life away from the overcrowded streets, rolling blackouts, and food shortages, but there is no hope for anyone as long as the Inferi Scourge howl outside the high walls. Her only refuge from the daily grind is in the...

Author: Jonathan Maberry Expected Publication: May 29,2012 ISBN: 1613771517 (ISBN13: 9781613771518) Goodreads Page: Click Here A sweeping, threaded narrative of the global phenomenon known as the Vampire Wars! Mankind is silently infected by a millennia-old bacteria unknowingly exhumed by a scientific expedition in Antarctica. Now, in some rare cases, a person's so-called "junk DNA" becomes activated, and depending on their racial and ethnic heritage they begin to manifest one of the many diverse forms of the "others" that are the true basis for the legends of supernatural creatures. These aren't your usual vampires and werewolves - it goes much deeper than that. Conceived by Jonathan Maberry, V Wars features stories from various "frontlines" as reported by such contributors as Nancy Holder, Yvonne Navarro, James A. Moore, Gregory Frost, John Everson, Keith R.A. DeCandido, and Scott Nicholson (as well as Maberry himself, of course). The r...
