#BookReview & #Excerpt: LIONS AND TIGERS AND BOYS by Tawny Stokes

I will be completely honest and say the main reason I signed up to read this book was because the main character is named Dani. Well, Danielle, but she goes by Dani. LIKE MEEEEEEE. I have no shame. I’m like Trump. Put my name repeatedly into something and I’ll be more likely to read it. But actually, aside from a few hiccups in the beginning, this was an enjoyable, quick read. It’s sort of connected to The Wizard of Oz, but it’s not a retelling, even a loose one. You might recognise a couple of names and a pair of […]

#BookReview: THE EXTINCTION TRIALS by S.M. Wilson

#BookReview: THE EXTINCTION TRIALS by S.M. Wilson

Another one of those reviews I struggle with because I enjoyed the book so much. You know the ones. I read this book weeks ago, and it’s taken ages to put thoughts into words. So instead of a coherent review, here are my top 5 reasons for loving The Extinction Trials. Stormchaser & Lincoln Wilson could not have picked better main characters for her novel. We’re told the story in (almost) alternating chapters by Storm and Lincoln. Storm is an orphan, living in government housing. She loves the outdoors so much she’ll willing dumb down her scores at school so she can […]

#SST #BookReview: BLOOD AND SAND by C.V. Wyk

#SST #BookReview: BLOOD AND SAND by C.V. Wyk

I seem to be having a particularly good reading streak. I can’t remember the last time I read this many 4-5 star books in a row. And Blood and Sand is right up there with them, a damn near perfect book in my eyes. I have not watched the TV show Spartacus, nor did I know much about the historical figure, before I started reading this. I was simply entranced by “warrior princess,” “gladiator,” and “rebellion” in the blurb. Little did I know that this book would completely take over my existence during my waking hours until I was finished with it. […]

#BookReview & #Excerpt: BETWEEN THE BLADE AND THE HEART by Amanda Hocking + #Giveaway

#BookReview & #Excerpt: BETWEEN THE BLADE AND THE HEART by Amanda Hocking + #Giveaway

It was a strange, cold thing to realize I was born to be a murderer. Fun fact. Krigare is the Swedish word for “warrior”. And that’s who we’re introduced to. Or at least, that’s what Malin, a Valkyrie-in-training is going for. Her life is a mix of learning to “return” the immortal as per instructions from a higher power and attending a special college for those working in the paranormal sector. That is, until she learns her mother went off track years before, creating a domino effect of misfortune. The characters were an interesting mix. I liked Malin for her […]

#17DABash #Interview with Shaila Patel, author of SOULMATED! + #Giveaway

Earlier this year, I read Soulmated and loved it. (I also shared an excerpt if you want a taste of it.) So I’m feeling incredibly fortunate to have been given the chance to interview Shaila Patel, the author, for the 2017 Debut Authors Bash! Enjoy these really thoughtful responses from Shaila, and don’t miss out on the chance to win a copy of Soulmated at the bottom, open internationally! Q&A with Shaila Patel Can you describe Soulmated in ten words? Irish empath searches for destined soulmate, falls for non-empath instead. Why is this story important to you? For one, it’s the first […]
