Review: Bite Me by PJ Schnyder
Bite Me
Author: PJ Schnyder
Release Date: June 24, 2013
Publisher: Carina Press
London Undead #1
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Format(s): e-book
Book Source: Author
About the book:
|
Few people walk the streets of London since the zombie outbreak, but that's not an issue for Seth. As a werewolf, he can handle himself and save humans reckless enough to take a nighttime stroll. While on patrol he comes across a group of people under attack. The one woman brave enough to take a stand against the zombies catches his eye—and not just because of her way with a gun. Learning the beautiful woman is homeless and fends for herself only intensifies his urge to protect and care for her.
Maisie can't help but admit that she's attracted to her werewolf rescuer. She's drawn to Seth's strength and ferocity, and finds herself opening up to him in ways she never imagined, even though she's determined to not rely on Seth or anyone else. She doesn't want another person to get hurt—or die—for her sake. She has enough scars, physical and emotional, from the last time…
But when Seth realizes something is drawing the zombies to Maisie, there may be nothing he can do to save her…
What I’m talking about:
|
Enjoyable, entertaining, fun! All words I use to describe Bite Me by PJ Schnyder. The first book in her new London Undead series sets the stage for what promises to be an interesting new series. The book describes a modern day London that is run down and desolate since a zombie epidemic started some time in the past, prior to the start of this story. The zombies are those from myth and legend - mindless, decaying creatures that seek out fresh "meat" in an endless quest to quench its hunger.
Left in London are those who didn't have enough money to escape before the quarantine, zombie-hunting "tourists" and those who profit from the "tourism." Somewhere along the way, werewolves also outed themselves to the humans. The werewolves work with the human police to help eradicate the zombies, as they are immune to the zombie virus and exceptionally strong.
Seth is the alpha of the local London wolf pack. He has an easy, unspoken relationship with the local constables, working in tandem to keep the streets safe. Under Seth, and one of his confidants, is Danny, a werewolf scientist trying to uncover what causes zombieism. While out on rounds one night, Seth comes across a captivating young woman, full of spirit, trying to save a family from some unusually fast and well-orchestrated zombies. After helping her with the rescue, Seth escorts Maisie to her clinic, where the pair become fast friends. They also indulge a bit in their immediate and intense attraction.
Bite Me focuses much of the story on the budding relationship between Seth and Maisie. Theirs is a passionate, yet sweet romance. Maisie was crippled in the past after a zombie attack, and her affliction brings out Seth’s need to protect and take care of her, even though he knows she is more than capable. At first it was sweet how much he wanted to help her, but I have to say, having Seth carry Maisie everywhere began to be a bit off-putting after a while. She is a grown women who can obviously hold her own and has balls made of steel. So why so much carrying?!
Regardless of Seth’s “pampering,” the pair share an intense attraction. They have that immediate "I need to rip all your clothes off and start sexing you up now" kind of powerful draw. Yet Seth remains the consummate gentlemen when he shows extraordinary restraint after Maisie gets him all worked up. I enjoyed their moments together - both the sweet and the sexy.
Wrapped around the love story is the mystery of why groups of zombies have become more systematic in their attacks. The wolves notice that instead of mindless creatures that feed as the opportunity presents itself, they are coordinating attack efforts and searching out prey. Trying to figure out the cause and who is masterminding the strikes, especially as it hits close to home for Maisie, adds a bit of thrill to the story.
All-in-all, Bite Me is a delightful story that hits all the important aspects I enjoy when reading: humor, a bit of intrigue, and a sweet romance with a bit of fire. Ms. Schnyder has created an interesting new world with hints of so much more to come. I look forward to finding out more about the werewolves, but also I want to know who is controlling the zombies and why. I strongly recommend this title for those looking for an entertaining new paranormal series.

Author Guest Post & Giveaway: PJ Schnyder
Today I have the honor of bringing to you one of my favorite people, paranormal/ sci-fi author PJ Schnyder. Born and raised in the North East, PJ spent her childhood pretending to study for the SATs by reading every fantasy and sci-fi novel she could borrow from the local and school libraries. She scored fairly high in the verbal portion.
She was introduced to the wonderful world of romance a decade later by her best friend at an anime convention in Seattle.
She now lives somewhere temperate watching the seasons go by with her two dogs and super stealthy ninja kitty, writing her stories and gaming.
PJ is here today to talk about her new release, Bite Me, the first book in her new London Undead series. Keep reading to learn more about her book and enter an awesome GIVEAWAY!
Please help me welcome PJ toThat’s What I’m Talking About.
Werewolves, hunting zombies, in London!
As a writer, I tend to keep an eye on calls for submissions, especially when they’re from my editor. Back in fall of 2011 and likely earlier, Mallory Braus included a request for a “zombie hunter romance” in her call for submissions via Carina Press.
On reading that, I giggled. And then I had an idea. That idea almost became a whole bunch of different things. The final result, though, evolved into the London Undead series and I am very happy Mallory and Carina Press acquired it. I’m elated to celebrate the release of the first book in the series, Bite Me.
The moral here is to have fun imagining what you’d do in a zombie apocalypse and also to keep an eye on those calls for submissions. You never know when inspiration might lead to a great match. ;)

Quickie Review: Gimme Shelter Anthology
Gimme Shelter
Editor: J.R. Blackwell
Release Date: Jan. 15, 2012
Publisher: Galileo Publishing
Genre: Urban Fantasy, Anthology, Horror
Format(s): e-book
Book Source: Purchased
About the book:
|
The Zombies Are Here!
Gimme Shelter, the anthology of the zombie Apocalypse, is about zombies, survival, fathers and daughters, teenagers making out, guns, awkward third dates, reality TV gone wrong, and having a sense of humor in the face of impending disaster. It’s a love letter to horror, zombies and the apocalypse.
Gimme Shelter features all-new fiction from Filamena Young, Jared Axelrod, PJ Schnyder, Christiana Ellis, Peter Woodworth, Tee Morris, Mur Lafferty, Rob Wieland, David A. Hill Jr., Phillipa Ballentine, Chuck Wendig, and J.R. Blackwell.
The fiction in Gimme Shelter was created as a special thank you to the Kickstarter supporters of Shelter in Place.
What Una is talking about:
|
Gimme Shelter is a collection of vignettes. Each is few pages that describe a moment or event in an aspect of post-apocalyptic zombie earth. A different author crafted each one and they give a different point of view of the zombie apocalypse. The contributions range from heartbreaking to touching to downright creepy! There is a wide range of pathos while reading Gimme Shelter. I found it hauntingly wonderful.
Although I was gifted Gimme Shelter as a paperback copy, my research for this quick review showed that it is only available in e-book format. However, it is the perfect companion for a short wait at the doctor’s office, to board a plane, or while away an hour. The moments captured by each author may linger in your thoughts. They certainly did mine, as did several questions some posed. What would you do in a similar situation? How would you react?
All in all, it was an incredibly entertaining and witty read. If you are interested in zombie urban fantasy but are unsure, you might want to pick up Gimme Shelter as a way to test out the genre.

Hunting KatAuthor: P.J. Schnyder
The Triton Experiment #1
Publisher: Carina Press
Released: July 4, 2011
REVIEW HERE
A new commotion started at the entryway. Even the techo-geeks in the corner stirred from their hologame to peek over the booth and get a good look.
Mercs and servicemen alike fell like downed logs. It took a minute for Rygard to see what cleared a path through the minefield of fighting men, and when he did, he wondered if he'd had one drink too many.
Lightning quick, a little package of curves dodged a drunken punch, grabbed the merc's arm and used his momentum to send him over a table. She brushed dark waves of hair out of her eyes before planting a hand in a serviceman's back, helping him into a pile of his friends. Two other servicemen focused enough to rush her, but crouching low she delivered a powerful leg sweep. A sharp elbow to the sternum rendered each of the out of commission. Straightening, she continued her course, heading directly for Syn and the bar. By the time she made it, unconscious and groaning men lay in her wake. Her left hook was a thing of beauty, and she had a wicked right slanted kick.
The heat of her feral glare seared through Rygard as she passed, moving on when he didn't offer any threat. Had he ever seen such a deep blue before? She chose the very last stool, sitting with her back to the wall. When she ordered a scotch, he thought he'd died and found the perfect angel.
Syn placed a glass of amber in front of her. "On the house. You saved me the trouble of calling security."
Rygard chuckled. Men picked themselves up off the floor and it seemed they'd forgotten the whirlwind who had passed through them. A wonderfully mind-numbing thing, alcohol. They probably wouldn't want to remember they'd gotten their asses handed to them by a pint-sized explosions of sexy anyway.
Well, maybe they would.
He watcher her swirl her scotch, inhaling slowly before taking a long sip. When she set the glass down, it became obvious she would need a refill in short order.
Without lifting her face, she glanced up, her fierce gaze locking on him through a dark veil of thick, long lashes. He realized he'd better say something or she might take offense at his regard.
Lifting his drink, he nodded. "Mind if I buy you another?"
Kaitlyn studied the man for a beat before the question popped out. "Why?"
Not what he'd been expecting, probably, because he blinked, caught without a response. The light from the bar top caught gold highlights in the man's hazel eyes. Not a pretty boy, which won him points in her book, his features too strong for the beautiful boy toy look and his build too massive. Terran military, by uniform. Skuld would call him ruggedly handsome, with the stubble across his jaw and barely regulation haircut.
He shrugged. "You look like you could use one, or more."
True. Before she could answer, he left his stool and walked toward her. A fighter, and a fast one, despite the bulk suggested by his expansive chest and shoulders. She didn't mistake the potential in the way he moved. Unlike the rest of the males in the room, he wasn't inebriated to the point of slowed reaction time.
He also seemed aware of her assessment, holding his hands out to his sides in a sign of not threat as he sat on the stool net to her. His gaze never left hers. The challenge he offered had nothing to do with a fight and everything to do with her.
"Maybe." She couldn't think of anything else to say.
He smiled, the flash of white almost predatory. "Maybe usually means yes."
"Maybe means maybe," she snapped. She didn't like word games.
Dark eyebrows shot up and those hands opened wide again. "Okay, maybe." He shifted to lean on the bar, not closer to her but not father away either. "Let me know when maybe turns into a yes or a no."

Review: Hunting Kat by PJ Schnyder
Hunting Kat
Author: PJ Schnyder
Release Date: July 4, 2011
Publisher: Carina Press
The Triton Experiment #1
Genre: Sci-fi Romance, novella
Format(s): E-book, Audible Audio
Book Source: Author
About the book:
|
As a mercenary, Kat Darah doesn't have to pass for a normal human. On the edge of the solar system, she's just another biped. Most of the time.
Nearing the end of his military tour, Lt. Christopher Rygard debates the idea of hanging up his uniform for good. Looking for answers at the bottom of a glass of scotch, he meets Kat. One shared night of mutual desire seems harmless. But when their tryst is interrupted by attackers hunting Rygard, Kat must reveal her other form, the predator beneath the human façade.
Together they embark on a dangerous mission—a race against time to meet the enemy's demands, while trying to deny the passion between them. Rygard is faced with a terrible choice in the face of duty: Report the existence of a human turned shape-shifter. Or forget he ever met her.
What G & U are talking about:
|
Hunting Kat is a well written and exciting new world wrapped up in a novella. Thankfully, there will be a book two, however, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
Ms. Schnyder was gracious enough to offer this ebook for us to review. We had read the premise and thought it sounded right up our alley. Una did not realize it was a novella and you can image her shock when she reached the end. While researching for this review, we discovered (well, Ms. Schnyder mentioned on Twitter) that there will be a second book. Hunting Kat is an excellent introduction to this science-fiction world. In this world, not all Shapeshifters are paranormal creatures; some are the result of a DNA virus from another alien species.
The pace of Hunting Kat is simple and exciting. We felt it flowed nicely, and because of its fluidity, it was incredibly difficult to put down. The passion and connection between Kat and Rygard is sizzling. Even though there are several minor characters we were introduced to, it was easy to fall into the camaraderie they have. It felt as if we were reuniting with old friends.
Gikany and Una look forward to the next book in this Triton Experiment series. We encourage you to pick up Hunting Kat and enjoy this science-fiction romance!

RAGT Wrap Up and Shameless Summer Giveaway Hop
Well, I’ve had a few days to process the whirl-wind trip that was my weekend in Ohio, and I’m here to give you the highlights AND to giveaway some GREAT prizes! Keep reading for the giveaway details!
Second reason I made the trip: my amazing book friends and blogging tweeps. After meeting so many of you in Philadelphia last year, I had to take this opportunity to see you again (and hang with some of the Sisterhood of the Werefly!).
I landed in the Dayton, OH airport about 10:30 AM on Friday June 1st and was back there by noon on Sunday June 3rd. It was a quick but wonderful visit! I got to spend time with Nima and Ang (who could not attend the event because Nima’s daughter was graduating high school), and I got to get in lots of author and friend time at the event.
So, here are some of the highlights of my trip...
Friday June 1:
First of all, if you’ve never been hugged by Bells from Hanging with Bells, you are missing out! She alone was worth the trip and I miss her already! I got to meet up with many of the friends I’d met in Philly: Bells, Mandi (from Smexi), Danielle (Lush), Penny, Dren, Marq, and Jaime Saare. I also got to meet several of my tweeps for the first time... Like Colette (aka A Buckeye Girl Reads), Liza (MsLizalou), NikiBrandyberry, Penny’s sister: QueenCityE, Bridget Locke, Jackie (Literary Escapism) and Nicole (aka Adam S. Walker - or as you would know her, Admin for Shiloh Walker). And bonus... I got to hang with Trelaina again (after meeting her in August when I was in Chicago). LOTS OF FUN!
That night there was a book signing and I took advantage... I got to meet Sherrilyn Kenyon... Yes THE SHERRILYN KENYON!! She is so sweet and I would have loved to talk with her longer, but there was a line and well, I was a bit tongue-tied & fangirl. I also finally got to meet Shiloh Walker after tweeting with her for the past couple of years. Then I spent time catching up with some of the authors I meet last year in Philly... PJ Schnyder, Judi Fennell and Stephanie Julian. All such wonderful women. I really enjoyed talking books with Judi (I kind of monopolized her for a while!)
After the signing, we played some very interesting Pictionary sponsored by Carina Press. Let me tell you, even if it looks like it, the answer is not “penis!” We laughed a lot! I also took the opportunity to meet Angela James, editor at Carina and another twitter buddy.
After hanging in the bar for a bit, I took off back to Nima’s house, where I made it up until 1:00 AM (I woke at 3:30 AM Friday morning).
Saturday June 2:
I was up bright and early! I headed back over the hotel for breakfast and conversation. After the buffet, we broke into small groups, and I selected the one with Virna DePaul. Although I’d never read any of her books, I’ve heard some amazing things about her characters and world-building. I am so glad I went! Meeting Virna is one of the highlights of my trip. She is such a nice person and I enjoyed discussing how bloggers/reviewers fit into the mix. She will be at AADNOLA this August and I cannot wait to chat with her some more.
Next I went to a discussion sponsored by Berkley Publishing. Although much of the discussion centered around the submission process (and I am not a writer), I learned many new things about the world of being a published author. I also won an ARC of Lora Leigh’s Stygian’s Honor. WOOT! You all know how I love me some BREEDS!
At lunch I tracked down another person I wanted to meet: Sue Grimshaw from Romance at Random (Random House). I’ve chatted with her often on Twitter and enjoyed meeting her live and in person. Another wonderful woman!
The rest of the time was spent chatting more with the people I’d come to see and meet. I finally headed back to Nima’s about 10:00 PM, and when I got there, Nima, Ang and I stayed up until nearly 3:00 AM catching up!
NOW FOR THE FUN... a GIVEAWAY!
I’m participating in the SHAMELESS SUMMER GIVEAWAY BLOG HOP!
While I was away, I thought of all of you - my readers! Really, I did. And I was able to pick up a few fun things to share.
First Prize: the first three books from Sherrilyn Kenyon’s League Series: Born of Night, Born of Fire and Born of Ice - all SIGNED by Sherri herself!
Second Prize: A SIGNED copy of The Sweetest Thing by Jill Shalvis AND a hand-crafted bookmark made by Shannon K. Butcher.
Third Prize: A copy of Guilty Pleasure by Lora Leigh AND a book cover flat and bookmark signed by Lila DiPasqua.

Sunday Snippets #99
Red’s Wolf
Author: PJ Schnyder
Publisher: Decadent Publishing
Released: August 28, 2010
“Jason.” She didn’t know if she whispered his name or shouted it. She only wanted – wanted him with every cell of her body so badly she began to tremble.
He froze then, his head shot up and turned towards the door. A moment of tense silence, and then he turned to drop a light kiss on her forehead before disentangling himself and striding toward the door. Clutching the edge of the counter, her knees pressed together and her body tense from the interruption, she scowled. Needless to say, she was less than happy. Freaking understatement. “What?”
“We’ve got a visitor.” He tossed the words over his shoulder as he unlatched the door and swung it open.
A burst of frigid air swept in as the open door revealed Bradley standing there with a basket. He grinned, his eyes searching the room and immediately fastening on Carri. “Brought you a snack from Jenna, with lunch for later.” He stepped in and paused, his nostrils flaring as he took in the scents in the room.
She flushed in embarrassment. The whole scent thing really had her at a disadvantage. Then she straightened, seeing Jason’s face turn blank. She wasn’t ashamed of what they were doing, and wanted to be sure Jason knew it. “Thank you Bradley, but you really didn’t have to. Jason would have taken care of me.”
“Right.” Bradley said the word slowly, his eyes turning golden as his temper rose up in his face and a snarl grew in his throat. “The stray shouldn’t be ‘taking care’ of you. That’s something for one of the pack.”
Jason said nothing, but his eyes turned silver, his posture coiling in subtle preparation as he faced Bradley.
Oh no, they were not about to have a fight over her right there in the surveillance tower.

Quickie Review: Red's Wolf
Red’s Wolf
Author: PJ Schnyder
Release Date: Aug. 28, 2010
Publisher: Decadent Publishing
Terra’s Guardians #2
ISBN: #978-1936394425
Genre: Paranormal Romance, Novella
Format(s): E-book
Book Source: Purchased with our own funds
About the book:
|
Carri has definitely caught the eye of the big bad wolf.
Visiting the Glacier Valley pack to get a little breathing room from life in the city, she uses her skills to help install a high tech airspace sensor array for her adoptive grandmother’s pack.
Jason is a lone wolf, good at doing his job and good at being alone. Sparks fly between them, igniting desire hotter than Carri’s red hood. But the Glacier Valley pack has made it clear that Carri is under their protection and off limits.
And yet, the heat between them is undeniable and when Carri makes her choice clear, Jason is ready to claim her as his. He’ll go against the pack and any rivals, even take down an alien hunter to have her and protect her.
What G & U are talking about:
|
After reading the first book in this series, Heart’s Sentinel, we had to read Red’s Wolf. It is a novella in the Terra’s Guardians series and it is only available via ebook. Gikany and Una feel it is well worth buying and enjoying.
We loved Carri and Jason. Their courting was full of smexy energies, witty banter, and steamy hotness. One of the best parts of this story is that although Carri is physically weaker, not just as a human versus a shape-shifter, but due to a medical condition, her strength of self and of right and wrong is stunning. Her love and loyalty are refreshingly strong and yet gentle. Jason, for all his wonderful snarkiness, is touchingly sensitive and caring. Seeing the two of them dance and come together was a joy and privilege.
This was a delightful story enshrouded by menace. The ongoing mystery of the hunters seems to have reached a pinnacle in this story – but we can’t tell you what it is…that would be spoiling. However, it makes us VERY eager to see what Ms. Schnyder has in store for us in the next book. We hope to hear soon when it is expected to be released.
