Happy Friday everybody!
Book Beginnings on Friday is now hosted by Rose City Reader. The Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice. Check out the links above for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.Beginning:
"Quit? What do you mean, you quit?" I yanked the phone away from my ear, shook it like it was one of those Magic 8 Balls and I could get a different answer out of it. then slapped it to my head so hard I saw stars. "Barbara, you can't just quit."Friday 56:
"Where are you, Gram?""Oh, honey, I'm on a cruise.""Again?"My grandmother went on cruises every other week. Even in the fall, when most sane people want to stay on dry land, Harry was out on the high seas, bingo-ing her way to happiness.
This week I am spotlighting More Than Fiends by Maureen Child which has been on my TBR mountain since March 29, 2008. Here is the description from Amazon:
Cassidy Burke is finding it hard to believe that she's next in a long line of demon dusters-Burke women paired with centuries-old cleaning solution to shine windows and spot demons. Sure, her "Clean Sweep" maid service is taking off, but wiping out supernatural bad guys? Come on.
But Cassie's surprised by her sudden fighting instincts and fierce new strength...both of which she's going to need. For one thing, her teenage daughter thinks her dad is dead, but in truth he just never knew about her...and now he's moved back to town. And after many dateless years, men are finally lining up on Cassie's doorstep. Sadly, most of them aren't human.
A great book for fantasy fans and demon chasers!

ReplyDeleteI would have never thought More Than Fiends had any supernatural aspects based on the book cover. It sounds like a fun story. Thanks for mentioning it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun sounding book. My Friday quotes from the Tattooist of Auschwitz
ReplyDeleteI love that the grandmother goes on so many cruises. That was me pre-pandemic.
ReplyDeleteSo, from the title, the Friday 56 and the book beginning you would NEVER know this book had supernatural elements! So funny. I was thinking contemporary fiction.
ReplyDeleteIt always feels good to knock something off the old tbr mountain.
