And, nope, I haven’t read this one yet, and YEP I need my Dex-fix. SO bad!!!

Kirsten: Karina Halle’s 7th EIT book is LIVE! I loved it, go get it.

Date Dex! An exclusive excerpt from Karina Halle’s upcoming EIT release, “Come Alive”…

June 9, 2013 By Maryse 25 Comments

You guys voted, and “date Dex” was selected. Great choice! There were over 100 votes in no time, and a good mix of the two, but I’m suspecting y’all seem to think Date Dex will be more romantic, huh? Hrmmm…. πŸ˜‰

Maryse’s Book Blog: I have a “Dex” treat for you guys tonight (an excerpt fromKarina Halle‘s upcoming Experiment in Terror release, “Come Alive”)Β Β I actually have TWO… but I have to space ’em out, you know. These are rare and hard to come by.Β So… are youΒ guys in the mood for “funny Dex”, or “date Dex”?Β You vote, I’ll post it.

Samantha: Date Dex!!!!!

Niki: Funny Dex or Date Dex…….such a hard choice! I’ll take either one- he’s always Sexy Dex!! Can’t wait for the teaser!!!!

Sandra: You know me, I’m in the mood for anything Dex. While I wait for the next book, thinking about starting Fever series, since I read everything Karina wrote

Lisa: Deffo Date Dex x

Elle: Funny

Christina: Dex dex dex anything dex!

Menka: Date Dex!!

Sharon: Anything Dex!

Jeanette: Funny Dex!!

Laura: I think I will take any Dex I can get! Bring him on!

Megan: FUNNY DEX!!Β Who am I kidding? I just want DEX. #SexWithDex

Jen: Date Dex!

Kerryann: Date Dex

Kirsten: I have to choose? Funny Dex.Β I’m gearing up for the whole package at the end of the month. Dex is at the top if my book boyfriend list after all.

Elle Smith Date Dex is such a cock tease right now… Funny fo shiz.

Lauren: Date Dex, need me some Sexy Dexy

Nina: Haha, this is such a win-win ^^ Right now I’m in the mood for funny Dex though.

And it went on and on and on… you guys are hilarious!!! I wanted to growl at y’all, “Off my DEX!!!” but you had me grinning too hard, I couldn’t make my growl-face. πŸ˜‰

So date Dex it is. Although… might I hint that “Funny Dex” made me seriously swoon amidst his crude internal musings. I LOVE HIM!!! He can be all “guy-brain” and in an instant, think the sweeeeeeeetest more heartwrenching thing. And then go right back to his “Dex-ist” ways. <—- haha! See what I did there? Sexist. Dexist. Tee hee!!! I crack myself up.

But I digress. I’m teasing you about the “Funny Dex” excerpt and you guys chose Date Dex, and I shall deliver. Don’t worry. He’s funny here, too. πŸ˜‰

Ready. It’s got his foul-mouth and brain in it, so you know. Be forewarned. πŸ˜‰ Mind you… that’s what I love about him. So real!

OH WAIT!!!! Before you get reading, do you guys feel like chatting with the author, Karina Halle in say…. oh… an hour? ‘Cause she’ll be chatting at exactly 8pm EST, ready to answer your questions.

P.S. Check out this fun (sexy) picture of her “idea” of what Dex’s occasional “mustache” looks like. This made me laugh out loud, ’cause I know, right??? Sometimes it was hard to picture him in his mustache phase without seeing a pervy 70’s pornstar version, ya know? But we had it all wrong!!! LOOK!!

P.P.S —> check out everything I’ve ever written about Karina Halle. I’m a HUGE fan so there’s lots. I say… YOU MUST READ EVERYTHING she’s written!!

Okay okay… enough of my teasing. Now for the REAL teaser. Ready? Please feel free to continue without further interruption by me. πŸ˜‰

Book Review – And With Madness Comes the Light by Karina Halle

February 24, 2013 By Maryse 15 Comments

And With Madness Comes the Light (EIT book #6.5)
This review isn’t really all that “spoiler-y” but for those new to this series, you *might* want to skip this. Although… you may fall for Dex just on this review alone. πŸ˜‰ Tee hee!! But I ADAMANTLY recommend this series ’cause it’s one of my favorite series of allllll time!! You can start from the beginningΒ (book #1 is free right now)
—>Β Experiment in Terror Series Reading Order

Right off the bat, I’m giving this “Dex POV” novella 5 stars!! To be afforded the opportunity of re-living many key scenes from the Experiment in Terror series since that big crazy moment at the end of book #4, that put us all in a frenzy? I’m going to say it’s perfect. P-E-R-F-E-C-T. Any time I can spend with Dex I. Will. Take!! And, to go through some of that really hard stuff in the mind of the one I was SO mad at… is an interesting perspective for sure. read more

On Target by Karina Halle (an extra scene from “Into The Hollow”)

February 1, 2013 By Maryse 40 Comments

Who wants more DEX? What about more Dex & Perry in a “normal” environment, doing normal things? Like, oh… I dunno? Dex & Perry go shopping? eek Yep! That’s right! It’s time for the “Dex and Perry Go To Target” scene that we all voted for!!

Ohhhh… I miss Dex and his obnoxious Dex-ways (foul mouth and everything, but you know… we love that stuff!!)

*squeeeeees* at Karina!!! Karina has been steadily supplying us with Über-hotties over the last week and half, and I just can’t thank her enough (although making her ears ring probably isn’t the way to do it. Tee hee!) *whoops* THANK YOU Karina!!!!

Oh and Karina wants us to know:

“There are no spoilers in it…it takes place during Into the Hollow, however. One of the days leading up to their Bigfoot expedition in Canada.”

Although for those new to the “Experiment in Terror” series, I suggest you check out THIS: Karina Halle – Experiment in Terror Series Reading Order and THIS: The Experiment in Terror Series – Intrigued Readers Want to Know… first. This is one of my all time favorite series, and I urge all of you to devour it like so many of us did.

Here. It. Is…

AWESOME PSYCH-THRILLER SALE ALERT!! I read & enjoyed it, and if you love domestic psych-thrillers featuring a creepy child... this is for you!!

Tasha J: Maryse, Baby Teeth is on sale today. I thought I remembered you loving this one. I’m seeing a ton of reviews comparing and contrasting that and The Push. Some love one, some the other. Some say they’re super alike, some say no way.

Here's my review (and it's linked up to the sale price). πŸ˜€
