 Hello everybody, E here. Welcome to the very first beard and E read along. I don't know what I'm actually going to call it, but I was thinking maybe beard bros, but mine isn't as impressive as my buddy Beards is. If you don't know, I'm talking about well-read beard. I will link to his channel down there in the doobly doo. I know a lot of you already follow him. If you don't, you really should. He reads and reviews probably about literally like five times as much as I do. So go over there and check him out. He'll have a video about this up on his channel also. But we are doing Go Down Hard by Ali Cie. Or is it something like, is it like Shea, something like that? I do know that this is a pin name for an established author. I know her on Twitter. We don't interact too much, but I did buy this book directly from her. It says E, it's a sign to me, E, ready? Run. And the reason why it says that is, I'm going to read you the back of the book if you hadn't figured that out already. So we're going to jump right into it. What if a victimized woman decided to be a silent guardian angel for other women and turn the tables on predatory men? Anybody, I'm not saying the book is like this, but anybody seen a promising young woman, promising young female, I can't remember, fantastic movie, won an Academy Award, I think for best script. Really, really good, really good movie. What if she stumbled into the hunting grounds of a cocky serial killer while looking for her own private murder den? This is already starting to sound like Dexter meets promising young woman. What if a confident killer met his match in the form of a Jean clad, whiskey-swinging stranger in an hourglass-shaped package and she made him want things, things he's far too superior to want? When predator meets predator, the only question is, the only question is, is the attraction they feel to bed one another or kill one? Meg isn't expecting to catch Jack red-handed with his most recent victim. Jack isn't expecting Meg to come busting through his front door while chasing her current prey. Now that each recognizes a fellow killer, what urge will win? Kiss or tell? And this is, of course, written, like I said, written by Ali Sia Shay, I'm not sure exactly how to pronounce it, I apologize, probably should have asked it first. I'm sorry. For the last 15 years, Ali has written professionally under a pin name. Now she's running a muck and writing as herself in the genre. She's always loved the most. She lives in Baltimore with her family. Her greatest desire is to own a vintage airstream and hit the road. Me too, lady, me too. So this book is from Grindhouse Press. I've enjoyed everything I've read from them. They're not all fantastic, but they're all at least good. But if you guys wanna join us, leave a comment down there and I will link each one of you to either the Goodreads, the Goodreads group. I think it's reading with E or something like that. It's old. We've never actually finished a buddy read or a group read, but hopefully it'll change. Another reason why we're doing this is I wanna give Beard more attention. He's working on getting monetized. He's finally got to the point where he has enough subscribers. Now he's looking to get enough views. So if you're looking to help out a really super good dude who helps out the community constantly, he reads almost exclusively small press in Indy. Go over there, check him out. But yeah, join us. This video should go up on Wednesday. So next Wednesday, I think it's June 2nd. I could be wrong. But the Wednesday after this video post, I will post another video saying we are starting. It's a super short books, like 150 pages shouldn't take us too long to read. And if it does take you a while, that's fine. We're in no rush. But I'll post a link to the Goodreads to anybody who wants it. You can also comment directly on these videos if you want to. So expect spoilers. I'll probably put this up front to expect spoilers on this comment section and the next one next Wednesday. I do hope you guys join us. Go out and get the book. Not sure if it's on Kindle Unlimited, but it's available. Go pick it up. Read along with us, please. Let's have some fun. Let's actually complete a buddy read this time. That's my goal is to actually complete a buddy read. I figured a nice short book would be good. Anyways, you guys know the gist. I'll see you down there in the doobly-doo. But until next time, I have been E, you have been U. This has been the very first beard bros read along. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye-bye.
