Cover Reveal! Enigma by Christine Fonseca

Today I have some exciting news to share! I'm helping Christine Fonseca, author of the fabulous Requiem series, reveal the cover of her new short story, Enigma!

First, a description:

"Lorelei sees things other girls can't see. She knows about the demons and monsters. She's met them. Up close. And it's cost her everything.

Torn between protecting her siblings and avenging her mother's death, Lorelei must decide which path she will take. And no matter what she chooses, her decision will influence...

Bookanista Review: Touched

It's so nice to be back in the Bookanista swing of things!

This week I'm excited to talk about Corrine Jackson's TOUCHED.

From Goodreads:

Remy O’Malley heals people with touch—but every injury she cures becomes her own. Living in a household with an abusive stepfather, she has healed untold numbers of broken bones, burns,and bruises. And then one night her stepfather goes too far.

Being sent to live with her estranged father offers a clean start and she is eager to take it. Enter Asher Blackwell....

Bookanista Thursday!

Sorry for the radio silence this week! I've got a teething baby at home, poor thing.

Bookanista Review: Romeo Redeemed

A while back, I posted a review for Stacey Jay's JULIET IMMORTAL, which can be found here.

Spoiler: I really loved JULIET IMMORTAL. :-) I thought the concept was great, the stakes super high, and I loved Juliet as a character. So I was jazzed when I heard Stacey Jay was writing a companion novel, following Juliet's Romeo, called ROMEO REDEEMED.

From Goodreads:

Seductive companion to the popularJuliet Immortal, in which former lovers—Romeo and Juliet—meet, not as true lovers, but truly as enemies...

Walking to the center of the circle, Simon held the blood-filled vessel up to the sky. “By earth, air, water and fire,” he said, his voice ringing, “and by our blood, we invoke the strength of flame, of living, breathing things, of stone, spring, and the sea. We invoke the str...

Bookanista Review: The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight

I'm so excited to be reviewing a book for the Bookanistas this week! It's been a long, long time...turns out having a baby cuts into your reading time a LOT. Reading before bed doesn't really work anymore...if I'm in bed, I'm asleep!! But I did make some time for THE STATISTICAL PROBABILITY OF FIRST SIGHT. I've been hearing about this book for a while, and it sounded right up my alley.

From Goodreads:

Who would have guessed that four minutes could change everything?

Today should be one of the wo...

“Are you ready?” Simon asked. I nodded, and he led us across the street to Christ Church Meadows, the park where I’d met Ash.

As we walked, even the prospect of my first Druid ritual couldn’t silence the thoughts and questions that swirled through my brain.
