Dont Hex with Texas Katie Chandler Book 4 by Shanna Swendson – Save 22% Today!

Dont Hex with Texas Katie Chandler Book 4 by Shanna Swendson

Why Buy A Dont Hex with Texas Katie Chandler Book 4 by Shanna Swendson?
Everything’s bigger in Texas–including romance, magic, and danger!

Katie Chandler has fled fast-paced Manhattan and returned home to a simpler life, working at her family’s feed-and-seed store in Cobb, Texas. In a painfully selfless gesture, Katie had left the sexy wizard Owen Palmer to battle his demons in the magical realm–after all, Katie just seemed to attract evil, which only made Owen’s job a lot harder. But now it seems that trouble has followed her home: Despite the fact that Merlin, Katie’s old boss at Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., has assured her that Cobb is free of enchantmen, (magically speaking), Katie begins to notice curious phenomena.

Cobb is being plagued by a series of inexplicable petty crimes and other devilish mischief, and after her experiences in Manhattan, Katie knows “unauthorized magic” when she sees it. As this new darkness strikes deep in the heart of Texas, Owen appears (literally) to investigate. Now Katie’s friends and family must show the bad guys why it’s bad luck to hex with Texas, while Katie and Owen combine their strengths like never before to uncover a sinister plot before evil takes root in the Lone Star State.

“Enchanting . . . Trying to start a romance with the world hanging in the balance is not optimal, but it sure is funny.”
Romantic Times, on Shanna Swendson’s Damsel Under Stress

“Winning . . . [a] smart, snappy novel.”

Don’t Hex With Texas!!
Don’t Hex With Texas is the fourth book in the “Katie Chandler” series, and as of right now, it’s the last book that has been published in the series. The author does have plans for a fifth book, however the publisher is being a bit stingy with a commitment for it. (The author, Shanna Swendson, has said that she hasn’t given up, and is still optimistic about getting the fifth one published.) That having been said, please don’t feel like you have to wait to read this series until the fifth book is published. There are no huge cliff-hangers here, and enough ends are tied up to make this a more than satisfying end, yet there are just enough unanswered questions to make you curious and eager for more!

As I did with my reviews of the other 3 books, I’m going to give a brief “content” summary. (Everyone has different standards, and it can be difficult to know if a book is appropriate for a certain person or age group, so this is why I do this.) Content is about the same as the other books, although I would say this book is the “cleanest” in the series, with a only a few mild profanitys (nothing worse than b–ch, d-mn, etc). A very few mild innuendos. Katie has one or two thoughts that are just a bit off-color (nothing graphic). No bedroom scenes, but that doesn’t mean there’s not romance! :)

This series has been a breath of fresh air for me, and I am happy to say that it is now my favorite series. I’ve put all 4 books on my ‘keeper’ shelf, and I plan to re-read them. I really ‘clicked’ with the characters and story, it just completely pulled me in and enthralled me. It’s been a couple weeks since I finished Don’t Hex With Texas, and since then I’ve read three other books, but my thoughts just keep drifting back to Katie, Owen, and all the people at MSI….

As a last note: Shanna Swendson has mentioned in her blog that a politely worded letter to Ballentine Books could help get the fifth book published. I’ve sent a letter, and I encourage anyone else who enjoyed this series to do the same! (Ballantine Books – 1745 Broadway, Floor 18 – NY, NY 10019)

Keeps Getting Better
I love Owen! Absolutely my favorite book out of the series. This is the 4th installment of the Enchanted Inc series where Katie has returned back home to Texas after resigning at MSI, allowing Owen Palmer, her wizard boyfriend, to go after the bad guys without her holding him back. After a couple of months, Katie started to notice funny things going on in her hometown and who shows up to help … Owen. And the culprit for the strange things was a real surprise (on my part anyways).

I love the fact this mostly features my favorite characters from the series: Katie, Owen and Sam. This book gave more focus to Owen and Katie, giving them a chance to interact more. In the previous novels, Katie and Owen barely get a chance to be together before someone interrupts them. We really see more of the powers and the strength that Owen keeps hidden. And we also find that he’s an absolute sweetheart. Katie and her family are a funny hodgepodge of people, giving great comic relief and conflict. I sincerely hope the publishers would allow for a 5th book. This book left a few things unanswered and I would love to read more of Katie and Owen. This was definitely a fun read and definitely a keeper.

If you haven’t read the previous books, be sure to do so. There are some references to previous events and it can be confusing if you haven’t read them yet.

Best Yet!
I’ve read all four books, and I’d say this is the best one. There’s lots of exciting plot, lots of fun and a continuing romance. It’s not easy to do good sequels but Shanna is getting better and better.

Love it!
This is such an enjoyable and quick read. If there isn’t a book 5 I will be completely disappointed!

OMG GOOD
This series is so cool. Likeable characters
that you root for. Villians that you boo.
Love the plot and thank goodness Katie
and Owen are back together. Can’t wait
for the next book.

The Pirates In an Adventure with Communists A Novel by Gideon Defoe – Save 32% Today!

The Pirates In an Adventure with Communists A Novel by Gideon Defoe

Why Buy A The Pirates In an Adventure with Communists A Novel by Gideon Defoe?
London, 1840: Wagner’s latest opera plays to packed houses while disgruntled workers gather in crowded pubs to eat ice cream and plan the downfall of the bourgeoisie. And the Pirate Captain––his disguise proving something of a letdown––finds himself incarcerated at Scotland Yard, in a case of mistaken identity.

Discovering that his doppelgänger is none other than Karl Marx, the Captain and his crew are unwittingly caught up in a sinister plot that involves a red-eyed monster, stolen waxworks, and a sack of pretend kittens.

From the gloomy streets of Soho to the leafy boulevards of Paris, The Pirates! In an Adventure with Communists is a story of intellectual giants, enormous beards, volcanoes and valkyries, doubloons and dancing girls, and a quest to discover whether ham might really be the opium of the people.

This volume also includes, at no additional charge, The Wit and Wisdom of the Pirate Captain––a Major Philosophical Work

On the Matter of Love:

If you’re off to fight in a battle, snap a ship’s biscuit in half and give your girlfriend the other half. When you meet again, they will match––like two halves of a single soul! Hopefully, this will stop her sleeping with other men.

On the Question of Gravy Stains:

It is my opinion that the best way to get gravy stains out of cotton or wool is to soak the fabric in vinegar for half an hour. . . . If this doesn’t work, try burning the gravy off with a match or getting a hungry dog to lick it off.

On Life in General:

Life is like a big shanty. Everything will be fine so long as everyone sings in harmony. But if someone plays a duff note on the accordion or tries to break-dance at a sensitive bit, then there will be all sorts of trouble, mark my words.

Laugh Out Loud Funny!
I’ve never laughed out loud while reading until I came across Defoes’ Pirate books. If you are a fan of Monty Pythons and other similiar british humor, you will love these books.

Yo-ho-ho and five bottles of rum!
Yet another excellent book by Defoe – funny, witty, sly, silly and above all, uproarious fun – I can’t recommend this, or Defoe’s other two, highly enough. I’m anxiously awaiting the release of his next book!

Sexy – Karl Marx vs. Pirate Captain!
Maybe the best in the series (and educational; best way to attract a girl, beard pomades, political ideology). Funny and wonderful – can’t wait for the next 27 volumes.

Karl who?
Defoe is like Monty Python reincarnated…then stuck on a theme, that theme being pirates of course. It’s ridiculously funny!

House of Wax (Widescreen Edition) starring Chad Michael Murray, Paris Hilton, Elisha Cuthbert, Brian Van Holt, Jared Padalecki

Why Buy A House of Wax (Widescreen Edition) starring Chad Michael Murray, Paris Hilton, Elisha Cuthbert, Brian Van Holt, Jared Padalecki?
You know the one about the group of horny kids who get offed one by one? Yeah, so do director Jaume Collet-Serra and his screenwriters, who have updated an old Vincent Price flick and sandwiched it between hearty slices of The Blair Witch Project and various Friday the 13th films. Lots of WB and Fox network hotties–including 24s Elisha Cuthbert, One Tree Hills Chad Michael Murray, and, well, Paris Hilton–have car trouble and stumble onto a town populated by real killer personalities. The R-rated result is fairly gruesome and, though no one ever quite looks frightened enough, Collet-Serra knows his way around a jolting suspense sequence or two. Cuthbert and an unintentionally funny Murray (striking ludicrous poses as some kind of real toughie) act more like angry ex-lovers than the fraternal twins theyre supposed to be; Hilton acts bored while her real-life video scandal is exploited for ironic kicks; and the film heads shamelessly over-the-top with each new twist. As an exercise in bloody mayhem, it has a few novel touches, but you can easily find better scares. –Steve Wiecking

Good service
Very pleased with the seller and product. I would buy other products from this seller.

Excellent Service
Disk was brand new, I received it within three days. Very fast and I would do business with them again.

Impressive
I’ve noticed a new trend in the newest horror movies lately where things seem to have gone back to nothing gorey happening until half way through the movie, like they did 20 or 30 years ago. It is like this in House of Wax. I’m not sure whether I like this new development or not but it works with House of Wax.

It starts off with a theme that many other horrors movies have used; a group of teenaged friends have car trouble in the middle of nowhere, half of the friends stay at the car and the other half go to a nearby “deserted” town in search of help.

This is a slasher movie that kills the charactors in origional ways, sometimes involving wax and I was impressed with how gorey this movie was for a fifteen.

Impressive slasher movie with plenty of gore and a good ending. And, come on, who doesnt love it when Paris Hilton gets killed? :P .

House of Wax Blu-Ray
I really enjoyed this movie, kind of a guilty pleasure. The story is decent, the suspense is good, the acting is pretty good considering Paris Hilton is in it. It’s not the scariest movie you have ever seen but its a very well made horror flick. I was very pleased to see that the transition from DVD to Blu-Ray went well. The movie looks great in High Def.
