Thrills with a side of crazy!!

Man, I thought I had bad luck! Austin Carr seems to be cursed and his ex-wife sounds like she was based on my ex-daughter-in-law. So I clearly had a soft spot for Austin from the beginning.

This story covers his life for about 3 short weeks in his life and Austin ends up in the emergency room more times than I can count, wonder if he had insurance :) While tragic circumstances seem to sneak up all around him, Austin has a keen sense of humor and even when facing his own death he comes up with some classic one-liners. The author calls the story a "screwball mystery" and that describes it perfectly. It is full of suspense with snippets that will make you laugh out loud.

All Austin wants is get get his ex off his back so he can spend time with his kids. He owes her a lot of back support to make that happen so he is drawn into an unusual scheme or schemes and at times he in way over his head, drowning quite literally.

Getze has created a sensational character in Austin Carr. Even when he is breaking the law you want him to come out on top. Let's face it a guy who wears a Speedo to his daughter's swim competition to go unnoticed can't be all bad.

If you like your mysteries with plenty of thrills with a side of crazy these pages will be flying. I hated for this book to end!!! I can't wait for the re-release of Big Money!!!

This book was crazy!!!! I felt sorry for Alicia in the beginning, because I have been there, I was so glad when she finally decided to let go and live her life!!! There was twist and turns that I didn't expect, all characters have something in common.. ready for part 2 to see how it all plays out!!!!

This is a wild and crazy story with a pantheon of unique characters. The interaction between the lovers is sarcastic and baiting, as a crew of old and young characters join in on the bank robbing. The book starts with a robbery and than becomes one continuous chase as the FBI analyst and her crew attempt to catch the robbers, while their spree continues. The fun continues unabated as the action travels across country, under water, to New York, the California mountains, and eventually to a cruise ship. The ingenuous ways Zinio finds for he and Delaney to escape as the nets draw n boggle the mind. From start to finish this is a pleasurable romp. And the character called DMW looks just like the author.)(

This book is a twisted thrill. I haven't read a book that is this action packed in a while. I recommend this book to those who don't mind foul language and grisly action. If you do enjoy the aforementioned topics, then read on!

What a crazy ride!  A short tease of a Book 1 character, a longer tease of several other Book 1 characters, then a new character with yet another new and interesting direction.  Lots of twists, turns, and WTFs.  I'm enjoying the entire Apocalypse Weird universe.  The journey is crazy, but the scenery is very interesting.  This has joined Robertson's "Breakers" and Sisavath's "Babylon" series as must reads.  If you like dystopian craziness, read this series!

The loop of this twisted tail has me over the edge!! I swear I am going to reread it once the mind screwing stops from thia time around. I thought so many times I had things figured out and NEVER was I right about any of it!! Jane leads a wild life and by wild I don't mean the party kind of wild. If ever to be put in her shoes I think I would rather jump off something high and hope for the best. So many twists and turns and good guys who are bad and bad guys who are good my mind was working over drive and I LOVED every minute of it. Best part is I honestly can see the author sitting back and laughing as she wrote this knowing where the story was going to end up but knowing how twisted and screwy she was go I to take you there was going to be the fun part. Truely enjoyed this book and hope there is more like it to be put out. Thanks for the great mind screw Tara it was fun :)

We meet Clove and Turner when he comes home from a week-long conference. But something feels off to Clove. And this starts a VERY intense, insane, and interesting series of event. Turner isn't being honest with Clove. And Clove is smart. She KNOWS her husband, and this man isn't acting like her husband.

Really, I honestly cant say more and keep this spoiler free. I will say, I wasn't too sure how Id like this book. I was kind of EhI dunno in the beginning of it. I kept checking to see how far along I was. But before I knew it, I was sitting on the edge of my seat chewing my nails. (Nasty habit, yes I know, don't remind me!) And then the last chapter came and I was like AW, NAH! But I could live with it. THEN I read the epilogue, and IT WAS INSANE!!!! Ill be honest, I went to Ms. Coopmans facebook page and messaged her. And finding out it was the first of two books, really does change this review.

Ms. Coopmans weaves a tale that leaves you questioning EVERYTHING. You want to believe certain things but you cant. Do you believe your head or your heart? Its definitely a pickle. And thankfully there will be a second book that will offer the answers. So, would I recommend...(...) Read the rest of the review behind the link.

The plot is full with twists and turns. Both good and evil play their roles exceptionally well. I would be surprised if anyone can predict the ending of this one. Get ready for a wild ride!!!

This book put me through a roller coaster that is for sure! This story is told from multiple POV (at times he does head hop but it somehow works and I was able to over look it.) and you get into the heads of random groups of people, good and bad, during a zombie outbreak. This one runs fast and kinda crazy! These aren't fast moving zombies but the author seems to spin an original take on this world and the virus. You get nice little tidbits and maybe a clue of those the virus started but the doctor is then killed. I would really like to encounter another person who knows what's going on. There has to be an underground group, there has to RIGHT!

There were times that this book rode a Walking Dead line. With the whole 'every human left alive is bad' deal. But you actually find goodness in the craziest places and the author redeems some of the bad humans. I do have a favorite character, and I have already shipped her with one of the men. Oddly enough this said man ends up saving her in a hoard and I was squeeing.

Then--the author--choose this character to stick in a tree and toss metaphorical rocks at her the entire book and how it ended with her!!!! I was screaming and asked for a spoiler from someone who read it lol

I'm sorry I had to know if my girl was in the next book! As far as zombie series goes, this is a total win. Very well written with gender equality and everything I LOVE about a zombie book!

*I purchased a copy of this book from my local bookstore The Book Rack*

OMG is it wrong that I am laughing at the reviews of those offended by this book !! I have to say CW does well warning us of her dark and twisted mind so it should be no surprise that nothing is sacred for her !! This was a great read - I saw someone post it was like a mix of The Bachelor and The Hunger Games !! Genius !! This story may be about 3 men and 9 brides BUT we get it through the POV's of Max - the somewhat tame brother and Naomi - the most ruthless of all the girls !! Naomi is presented with a contract to win herself enough money to save her parents and herself from the debt and slum that they live in. Once she signs and is brought to start she comes to realize this is not just a job but a game that has other contestants and other men where only 1 couple will win !! The 3 brothers are more than wealthy and twisted enough to carry on this tradition as their father and his father had done before. The girls have all been handpicked and for good reason - they need the money. They may all have agreed but once the games start not everyone is cut out for the humiliation and horror. Naomi has her goal regardless of who and ironically Max has his mind set on Naomi for his end game. They attempt to scheme together but all along the mystery remains at how far Naomi will go to win and just who Max will conquer to win her. There is pain and torture , blood , death and of course some serious hot fun !! Call me sick and twisted but I enjoyed this story A LOT .

A unique mix of fear and discovery as the twists in this story begin to give chills in the never-ending roller-coaster fashion. My curiosity kept me until the last page, leaving me wanting more!

I give this story 4 and 1/2 stars! It's a roller coaster of a thrill ride. Not just the bad guys keep things popping, but the Jack's personal life is up and down as well. If you've read Fear Has a Name, then you've met Jack, a Dispatch reporter, and his family; his wife Pam, and his daughters Faye and Rebecca. His mother in law, Margaret, who you also met in FHAN, has a larger role in this story. This book picks up where the last one ended, though both could be a stand alone work. Jack is still struggling with forgiving Granger Meade, the former classmate of Pam's, who stalked and kidnapped her. Actually, he's not struggling with forgiveness, he flat out refuses to consider it an option, plus he bought a gun when he heard Granger was getting out of jail and he hopes he gets a chance to use it!. But, the Granger Meade story is a tense sideline to the nefarious goings on at the fiberglass plant. Folks are dying terrible deaths, and rumors are growing that the toxins the factory in the air is the culprit. How far will the factory owners go to keep all this under wraps? WAY TOO FAR is the answer. They will bribe, threaten, kill, burn up, blow up, shoot up, push you off the bridge, hang you off the bridge and call it suicide -- well, you get the point. They are unrepentant killers. This story will demand you keep reading til the very end. Along the way you'll suffer with Jack as the poison of unforgiveness invades his spirit, just as the poison spewed out by the factory is filling up the lungs and organs of the factory workers and neighboring community. Many will die unless someone starts to tell the truth and does the right thing. Jack and, reluctant at first Derrick, will remind you of Bernstein and Woodward as they try to untangle fact from suspicion. Will the truth be revealed or will everyone who knows the truth keep silent or be silenced? You'll enjoy Poison Town, and be glad you met most of its residents -- especially the resilient and colorful Randall's. Hope they show up in future stories! Love this author's style. Also, there is no sex or language in this story, good for all ages to read -- from mid teen to adult!

Trippy Twisting Turning Horror...Nice bit of background story before we come to the scenes of the present day...not for the faint hearted or someone who just wants a light read. Although not overly long you need to concentrate on this story the setting and characters change frequently as the perpetrator messes with the victims minds,all the way through I was unsure as to whom was the "man behind the mask" thanks to a nice steroidal overdose on the part of a main character..plus the mask literally changes at will as does the house it resides in,this creates a completely wild ride,I'm thinking acid or magic mushrooms with sex and blood,throw in a maze,some overblown egos,Jim Carrey's The Mask,a couple of dodgy characters from The Overlook Hotel and a seatbelt to hold you in for the ride..set aside some time to read in one sitting and buckle up..very original,graphic and at rollercoaster speed..truly loved it!!!

An amazing insight to all of our deepest darkest fears. Who wants to be labeled as "crazy"? This story transports the reader into the very life of a girl who struggles with the thought of being "crazy" just because she is different. We follow here journey to self actualization through a psychiatric ward and eventually another planet all together! This story keeps you on your toes. Sane or insane? Is it all a hallucination or something out of this world? Who can you trust?
