#GuestPost: Josie Williams, author of THE WANDERER, on music and writing

You may remember I did a cover reveal for The Wanderer not too long ago, and I’m so excited to be featuring this new release on the blog today now that it is ACTUALLY AVAILABLE NOW! I even had a chance to read it a little early (thanks Firefly Press!), so I can tell you already that it’s worth your notice. For some reason, this book kept making me think of the movie Casper, which was a moment for me. I remember shipping Casper and Kat during that scene at the dance, wishing Casper could come back to life for real and be […]

Oh hey. ‘Tis me. Yes, I’m coming back. For real this time!!! It was my 6-year blogiversary the other day, and I’m kicking myself for not celebrating it, but I’m coming back now with a bang (this is funny once you see the cover – maybe…).

#Excerpt + #Giveaway: CARMILLA by Kim Turrisi

#Excerpt + #Giveaway: CARMILLA by Kim Turrisi

So guys. I had NO IDEA there was a web series called Carmilla starting in 2014. I also had no idea there was a vampire book called Carmilla predating Bram Stoker’s Dracula by 26 years. Honestly, I feel like I’m getting an Education. Some background… The original Carmilla was published in 1872 by the Irish author Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. It featured a young woman who became the latest target of a female vampire who seemed to have a thing for teenage girls, especially biting their breasts. So yeah, some old-school homophobia there, demonstrating the evils of lesbians. So it was […]

#BookReview + #BookTrailer: THE DYSASTERS (The Dysasters #1) by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast

#BookReview + #BookTrailer: THE DYSASTERS (The Dysasters #1) by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast

The Dysasters is a teen adventure that reads like a comic book origin story. Everything is high stakes and dramatic, and of course All The Family Must Die (or be otherwise disconnected) to give each teen a tragic backstory. So if you’re into your paranormal/superhero stories, this is one for you. It has a really cool concept: genius scientist experiments on embryos, resulting in teens who can control the four elements. Teens are spread out around the US, and scientist-turned-evil-genius sends his “children” to hunt them down, so it’s up to the teens to band together and learn about their […]

#BookReview: BOUND TO YOU by Alyssa Brandon

#BookReview: BOUND TO YOU by Alyssa Brandon

It’s been a long while since I read a werewolf book. This particular one scratched a very particular itch: a hate-to-love story with a grumpy hero and a sassy heroine who keeps pushing his buttons. And yes, yes, there is obviously some alpha male stuff going on, especially with what I can only describe as kidnapping, but Megan learns to give as good as she gets. Also, yeah, it’s a nice guilty fantasy of mine, so while I appreciated some things would be problematic in the real world, I’m going to use It’s a Werewolf Thing as an excuse for […]

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

#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 PALE DREAMER by Samantha Shannon

#BookReview: THE PALE DREAMER by Samantha Shannon

I really liked this little novella and thought it was a great addition to The Bone Season series. In this book, we go back to when Paige was 16, shortly after she joins Jaxon’s little gang, compromised of only three members before her. We see into her teenage mind, as well as a little more into her past. It took me several pages to get back into the writing style; I think there was something different about this novella compared to the full-length novels, and I wonder if it has something to do with Shannon trying to give the story […]
