Synopsis
Can they survive the truth of their war?...Can their hearts?
A century ago, an exchange was proposed: a life saved for a war of revenge.
For Captain Lia Solus of the fae army, and the secret bastard daughter of the king, she’s reminded of those consequences daily. Unable to claim her heritage or her throne, she’s powerless to stop the innocent bloodshed that her birth ushered in.
On the other side of the lines, Commander Jace Cadoria gladly fights the war of his ancestors to slaughter the fae who have terrorized the humans of their realm for generations. And with a cunning plan to trap them, the end could finally be in sight. Except it quickly spirals out of control, leaving Lia and Jace, enemies of opposite sides, stranded together in a dangerous terrain.
Engaged in an intimate battle of their own, both warring to take control, they’ll need their wits now more than ever to survive. Because this fight could cost their lives—and their hearts.

Think Throne of Glass meets House of the Dragon! The Forbidden Heir Trilogy is a fun and chaotic new take on fantasy, featuring enemies-to-lovers, fun modernized banter, dragons, heartache, adventure, and dark sorcery that grows throughout the series. It is written in multiple first-person POVs, including the villains, and is a character-driven romantic fantasy. The story will be enjoyed by lovers of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L.

Book Spotlight Thursday: ‘Twas Two Weeks Til… (A Holiday Romance) by ShaRhonda Sharp

Keeping in the spotlight, I am shining the light once again on author ShaRhonda Sharp. She just had a recent release in July with the release of Twas Two Weeks Til… (A Holiday Romance) that is sure to tickle your tinsel.

Twas Two Weeks Til...: A Holiday Romance

Published: July 1, 2024

Genre: Holiday romance

Leticia “Tecie” Nadal has struggled for a long time with developing and
embracing strong self-confidence, but since crossing the threshold into her thirties,
she’s made it a point to “Boss Up” in every way. Like becoming her very own plus size
fashionista, and entrepreneur running a highly sought after event planning business.
Leticia loves where she is in life and the only season better than the “Growth” one
she’s in, is the Holiday Season. It’s the busiest time of year for her, but she loves every
minute of it…when everything is going exactly how she planned, that is. When Leticia
gets blindsided by one of her Contractors quitting without any notice and just two
weeks before the biggest event of her career, she’s certain this is as bad as it can
get…until the “Replacement” shows up…


Dominic “Domino” Ballantyne has a reputation he’s been striving to outgrow since
graduating high school and realizing his desired happiness required him to change a
lot. The process of growing up from a problematic teenager into a responsible
business man has not been easy, and the constant run-ins with people from his past
reminding him of who and how he used to be, do not help. But, when he lays eyes on
Leticia Nadal again after more than a decade, he gladly welcomes the reminder of how
he’s always felt about her, “his Tecie Baby.” Dominic has never been more grateful for
inheriting someone else’s messy workload than he was when he realized she was the
client he’s working for.

It’s been over ten years since they’ve last seen each other…Can they handle just two weeks of

Book Review: WALLFLOWERS by Haley Valenta (poetry book)

I love poetry, and today I am reviewing Wallflowers by Haley Valenta. She delivers a poetic beauty I have not read in a long time. This is poetry to me.


Wallflowers

Published: Stetember 21, 2023

Genre: Poetry

Wallflowers is a collection of poetry covering subjects such as life, relationships, and mental health. This is the second collection of poetry published by the author.


Trigger warning
: Contains talk of self-harm, depression, and anxiety attacks

AVAILABLE NOW ON AMAZON

REVIEW

Poetically open and rhythm-bound, Wallflowers shines and brightens on the beauty of pain and depression. How can pain and depression be beautiful? Because of the person you come out as on the other side is profound. While reading, some may not get it, while others may break down and cry yes, this is my life! In the end, though, Valenta brings you whole again, showing the light on the other side.

I can’t help but think of those who do not make it. The life they are missing if they had just held on and gotten the help they needed. Valenta is one of the lucky ones. She turns her sorrow into poetry, proving that you can rise above. You can come out of the darkness.

Valenta leads us through her journey in Wallflowers and shows us her poetic prowess in poems such as “Yes” and “So um…” oozing such sweet poetic goodness. In “Funeral Rites” and “Social Anxiety Disorder,” she stabs a hidden scar in your soul that glows against a kindred soul. Real. Raw and beautifully done!

My Rating is 5 out of 5 stars. I’d give it ten billion if I could.

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Book Review: The Collection by K. Kirchberger

*Disclaimer* A thank you to R&R Book Tours and the author for the ARC copy!

⦁ Found love

⦁ Strong friendships

⦁ Hidden identities

⦁ Immortals

Synopsis

Once a year, a draw is held in the capital that requires four mortals from each town to be given over to Hell. The mortals are taken to Hell, where they will either become an immortal in one of the four courts or perish in the trials.

One mortal is sent to the vampire’s Court of Blood. One goes to the Court of Moon, court of the werewolves. A third is sent to the Court of Spell, with the warlocks and witches. And a final mortal, always a female, goes to the Court of Song, Court of the Sirens.

The Collection is Available Now on Amazon

REVIEW

K. Kirchberger makes Hell look sweet in her debut adult fantasy romance, THE COLLECTION.

“THE COLLECTION” happens once a year in the town of Aevlin. A pact made long ago with the Devil keeps the mortal world safe from demons and immortal creatures. A pact where four young people are selected and brought forth each year to be given to Hell. Once there, they are tested in the trials to decide which of the four courts they become or die trying. Kenna feels it is her time this year, but when her best friend’s name is called, Kenna refuses to lose her friend and sneaks in through a hidden gate to Hell.

There is a price to pay when entering Hell, though, and Kenna offers her mortality, where she has six months to choose which immortal court to join to become or die. So she has six months to find her friend. Yet Kenna must gain an audience with each court prince to find out if her friend Sora got placed there, and a mortal in Hell is mighty tasty. When a chance encounter with a man leads Kenna to meet the Devil, Kenna is not afraid. 

Kirchberger’s world-building makes you fall in love with this book. The way she reimagines the concept of Hell makes sinning not seem so bad. I loved her imagery. Like Kenna, I was starting to enjoy it there, highlighting beauty in darkness. I also love fantasy romance/ paranormal romance, and Kirchberger did not disappoint me. A slow simmer of a read, she keeps the juices flowing just enough that you have to read one more page.

While her characters were likable, I found them a bit saccharine. I wanted to fall in love with Kenna and Luc, but the romance in me has died. The younger me would probably be gushing right now. Kenna and Luc are sweet and okay. I also was able to predict the ending, but Kirchberger did throw in a wrench that I did not see coming and made me nearly drop my tablet. The book ends on a cliffhanger, but there is nothing on or in the book (trust me, I looked all over) that states this is book 1 of such in such. Will there be another book?! I hope so!

My rating is 4 out of 5

Rating: 4 out of 5.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

As an avid reader with an appetite for anything fantasy, K. Kirchberger immerses herself in realms of magic and adventure. When not lost in the pages of a novel, she crafts her fantastical worlds, weaving tales that transport readers to captivating realms beyond imagination.

Denai Powell is a woman who knows exactly what she wants, even if she doesn’t always know how she’ll get it. So, when her boyfriend of three years reneged on his promise to support her as she pursued her dream of becoming a chef, Denai abruptly ended their relationship. Now newly single, unemployed and living out of her mother’s guest room with no real “Plan B” for the future, and officially sick of drowning her sorrows in booze and bubble baths, Dena teams up with her best friend, Treena, for one epic night on the town to forget about her problems for a while.

Dell Hewitt breezed into town on Friday night for a quick one-day trip to celebrate his favorite cousin, Emmanuel’s “Dirty Thirty,” and then hop on a red eye back home. Just bottle service, a few rounds of shots and celebrating the life of someone who’s like a brother to him. Simple and straightforward with no surprises. As a brilliant attorney, Dell did nothing without pinpointing every single detail and knowing every potential outcome. However, all his planning and forward thinking could not have prepared him for this night. Especially not once he saw Her…

When the fiery passion between two perfect strangers, and fellow control freaks, leads to a mind-blowing one-night stand, neither Denai nor Dell ever expect to see each other again.
Seems fate had other plans…

Audio Book Review: Jemma and the Raven by B.D. Reeves

Prepare for a luminous adventure in this highly original young adult epic fantasy novel by debut author B. D. Reeves. The Wishing Shelf Book Awards finalist, 2023.

Jemma and the Raven

Release date
: June 5th, 2024

Length: 10hrs 53 min

Genre: Fantasy/ Young Adult/ Teen


Synopsis

To everyone else, Jemma is nothing but a Wharf thief. She scavenges for tokens in the wrestling dens and parades along the market lanes with a raven, Edgar, on her shoulder.

But she and Edgar have a secret. In a land where memories fade into the Shadows without the love of a Keeper, they scour the ruins of ancient memory palaces, searching for treasure that will buy them a passage to the great city of Adocentyn.

When Jemma steals a map and a golden blade, she sets in motion a chain of events that will tie her destiny to the survival of all who live in the light of Memory.
​
Can Jemma defeat the darkness she has unleached, without losing herself? And who is the voice she hears guiding her along the way?
​
"I am with you. Follow the lights."

REVIEW

Entranced by the cover and the story concept, I spotlighted Jemma and the Raven when it was released in print and ebook. Now, with its recent audiobook tour, I decided to join R&R Book Tours once again and review this highly recommended book.

A young adult epic fantasy adventure in the likes of Harry Potter and Percy Jackson, we meet Jemma and her talking raven Edgar. Jemma, an orphan, lives the life of a wharf thief as she works the wrestling tents scraping for dropped tokens to survive. When scavenging the Scarpe ruins, Jemma finds the ruins of an old castle—deciding to loot it for treasure in the hope that she can sell the items to gain passage to the great city of Adocentyn. Only Jemma encounters a memory she is drawn to and a golden dagger that seems to glow for her. The castle is not empty either, and Jemma and Edgar begin their adventure there.

I usually do not read audiobooks, but I decided to give it another go with Jemma and the Raven. I now know why I do not listen to audiobooks. I am a more visual person, I guess. While the story is excellent, I could not get into it. Thus, my review may be less detailed or in-depth. 

Narrator Kim Heron does a lovely job, though. I loved the voice contrast she does for each character; the male and female voices are so impressive. Still, nope, I could not get into the story listening-wise.

Reeves has created a complex world using historical inspiration and using the construct of memory, making this fascinating idea of keepers of memories and being caught in a memory loop. In listening, I got a bit lost and constantly wished I had a physical or digital copy in my hands so I could re-read and dissect it all.

One of the most rewarding aspects of Jemma and the Raven is Jemma herself. I loved the character growth Reeves gives Jemma. It was so refreshing to see it done right! I really did not like Jemma at first; she seemed to me like your stereotypical street rat, but in the end, I grew to like her and respect her. That is character growth done right.

Therefore, my rating is 4 out of 5 stars.

Rating: 4 out of 5.
