One Bad Bounce and You're Toast

Midlife Muddle #4

by Sam Cheever

I’d really been looking forward to a night on the town, showing the sexy Justice why Fort Walton, Indiana was known as the Paris of the Midwest. Okay, not really, but he doesn’t know that. Wink, wink. Unfortunately, instead of my sexy new over-the-knee boots, I’m wearing clunky work boots, and slogging through mud in search of patient zero for a new contagion. Good times.
My name is Raelene Kitt. My friends call me Rae. Not Kit Kat or Kitten, despite what my ex-husband told the local newspaper. Bless his heart. I’m a traveler. Not the suitcase bearing, sunscreen wearing, snotty hotel clerk glaring kind of traveler. I travel through dimensions. And occasionally I take on problems at home. Such as when the King of the Ghouls decided to dig himself a kingdom in our local ball park a few weeks ago. Or like now, when a weird contagion has overcome the city. And somebody’s decided I’m the right person to fix it. Awesome.

I have no words. None. Other than to say that this book, this whole series, is incredible. It’s so unlikely, and outlandish, and just so stinking much fun. I can’t even describe it, because everything I want to say about it would probably give away all the best parts. (To my mind, they’re all the best parts.) Rae and Justice and Elvo are back at it in adventure that you really just have to see to believe. I’ve seen it and I kind of still don’t believe it. However, I enjoyed that so much that I wish it weren’t over already, and I can’t wait until we get to do it again.
I received a complimentary advance copy of this book through Booksprout.

Get ready to bounce from one dimension to another chasing pirates, fighting invisible forces, searching for cures to diseases unknown all while fighting against corrupt politicians and the urge to suck the face right off your guardian!!!!! What a crazy ride!!!!

Rae and Justice are about to celebrate the newest nightclub in town, both dressed to the nines and looking more desirable than extra hot fudge on a sundae when a shrill scream brake out on the crowded dance floor and a woman stand close to Rae collapses and crashes to the floor. Several others follow and soon half the dance floor is filled with lifeless bodies. What just happened????? And why?????

Bodies were falling all over the city. It was obvious that some type of contagion had been released on their town and the victims were adding up! Rae and Justice would need to get to the bottom of this situation before they had an epidemic on their hands, though, in truth, it may already be too late.

ONE BAD BOUNCE AND YOU’RE TOAST is another rollicking paranormal adventure and the fourth installment in the Midlife Muddle series by Sam Cheever. The descriptions of people and the unexplainable are sure to keep you entertained with enchanting characters and witty dialogue that will draw you in and keeps you turning the pages.

Rae and Justice are finally out on a date. As they enter the dance floor a scream rings out and people start collapsing, soon body parts start to disappear. What could possibly be happening and why?

Rae and Justice are again deep in the middle of a fight to save not only Fort Wallace but potentially all of Earth and beyond.

Get ready for laughter, confusion, a lovable Hellhound along with frightful monsters, Not to mention despicable politicians and crazy aliens. I look forward to seeing what trouble "cough" adventures Rae and her friends get into next.

One Bad Bounce and You're Toast is the 4th book in the Midlife Muddle series.

Raelene Kitt is a traveler.
Sounds like a great job if you can get it.
Right?
Well, in this case it means traveling to possible multiple dimensions helping keep or restore the peace, investigating unusual happenings, Traveling with a partner and his Hell Hound, also putting your life in danger on a regular basis.

This time they're looking for the area where a foreign contaminate has been released.
Yes, the victims will die (eventually).
But first they become very good at hiding while being very violent including attacking and killing innocent people.

Only this time, Rea has the non pleasure of introducing her medically trained daughter to her new and turbulent lifestyle.

I'd like to thank Booksprout and the author for this Advanced Reader Copy.
All opinions are my own.

People are disappearing... but not all at once. Yeah, first a foot, then the leg, maybe the chin...Gross. Some kind of contagion? A virus? Rae and Justice are tasked with figuring it out. Then the Governor assigns a doctor to work with them - Lissy. How can Rae let her daughter get involved with this? She has no idea about other dimensions or what Rae really does now. But Lissy is as stubborn as her mother and refuses to be sent home. Rae can't believe she had gotten her best friend and now her own daughter messed up in this craziness.

Can Rae, Justice, and, of course, Elvo, figure out what is going on in time to save anyone? I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Action Packed Twists, Turns and Bounces
Rae and her time traveling partner Justice have their hands full on this case. They are out at a club on a rare free time date. As they approach the dance floor, one by one, people are falling and dead. There are no obvious reasons, but tests are impossible, after they fall dead, they disappear! Or do they really disappear? To add more to Rae's plate, Her daughter is not only stuck in town, but asked to help. Oh the issues that adds for Rae! As always, Sam Cheever has given us a phenomenal action packed unpredictable mystery!

I love the title of the book and the story too!

Right from the start you jump into the action and it goes on till the end, not one dull moment in the whole book!  I love Rae's way of thinking and talking, she has no filter and she made me laugh.  Such great characters and I can't wait to read the next story!

This series is so entertaining! Sam Cheever has created a series that is so creative and fun! The characters are great and the ‘bouncing’ between dimensions, and the unique worlds in those dimensions, stimulates the reader’s imagination as we visualize each new scene. This is another stellar addition to this action packed, creative and unique series!.

Pirates and politicians!

A night on the town takes a grim turn for Rae and Justice as the people around them in the club start dropping. Whatever it is, it is already spreading and the governor wants it stopped ASAP.

Hellhounds, interdimensional cops, magic, and jelly bullets! Exciting paranormal sci-fi! What a fun book. I received a free copy but my review is honest and voluntary.

This was a fun crazy ride that was as zany as a Manga. Actually it would be interested if it was adapted into a graphic novel. The non-stop action kept me engaged in the story which finished with a satisfying conclusion. It can be read as a standalone although it might feel like jumping into the deep end if you aren't familiar with the characters.
