Second Chance Sister by Billy McCoy is a coming of age story of a young woman, Ashley falling in love with the wrong man. This novel gives brand new meaning to falling stupidly in love and your elders know best. McCoy's short novel Second Chance Sister follows the adventures of Ashley who is around the age of 20-ish.

McCoy gives immerses so much feeling and heart into Ashley's character you become drawn in as if you are her best friend and a part of the struggle as well. This short novel is very well written and the premise very well displayed. What would you do, young in love and trying to make the best of bad decisions; these are the questions that must be answered by young Rachel.

Great novel, I enjoyed the lessons learned and the adventure.

Undead: Ten Tales of Zombies ~ Rayne Hall

Undead: Ten Tales of ZombiesUndead: Ten Tales of Zombies by Rayne Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow this compilation of zombie novels was amazing. The short stories provide a wide variance of types of zombies. Who Knew! Before reading the ten stories in this novel I thought I was a zombie aficionado and expert, but Undead pushes the imagination further into science fiction. Who knew zombies had feelings "Immunity" by Jeff Strand puts that little nugget into the reader's mind and explores zombies from their point of view. Excellent story by the way. Another great story, "ANOTHER OLDIE BUT GOODIE" by Paul D. Dail, elderly people amaze me. This one is based in a retirement home; gives a new meaning to old love and memories. One of my favorite stories in this novel was "Feeding Frenzy" by Matt Hults, where we are reminded what looks good on the outside may not be good for you on the inside. All the short stories enclosed in this novel bring a brand new vision to the term "Zombie" and some stories as the reader I wished never ended.
