a past to claim… Road of a Warrior (The Silvan Book II) by R.K. Lander
"The characters feel…well, not human, since they’re elves, but alive, realistic, and believable, and we get to meet more of them this time. [...]
The story is delightful, the characters genuine, and the narration gloriously artistic. If you like epic fantasy and tales of action, adventure, intrigue, and deep friendship set in a rich, powerful literary world, you’ll want to pick up this book." - Andrea L, Goodreads
against his will - The Blind Alien (Beta-Earth Chronicles #1) by Wesley Britton
"Dr Wesley Britton is a natural born storyteller who has worked so much on his craft that it seems effortless. [...] I would strongly recommend it for someone who enjoys sci-fi fiction and furthermore to the ones who are not familiar with the genre and are reluctant to read it. It’s a great introduction to it and its unique charms thanks to a gifted author. Buy it, read it and don’t forget to thank the author for the beautiful journey once you are done with a smile on your face." - Amanda, Goodreads
She was killed 200 years prior - White Witch by Larry D Thompson
"White Witch by Larry D Thompson is so much more than what I was expecting. The twisting and turning, the mystery and danger, the tension and suspense kept me reading into the wee hours of the morning. I love when an author can incorporate fact and fiction with a little mysticism into an adventure that makes me see an exotic tropical island in a new light. I knew some of Jamaica’s history from reading and visiting this world tropical paradise. That makes it easier to get lost in the story." Sherry, GoodreadsAll the ugly and all the beautiful - King's Wrath (Sydney Storm MC #5) by Nina Levine
18++ The wait is finally over! The highly anticipated King's Wrath by Nina Levine is now available on all ebook retailers.

memories of great victories of the old - The King Is Dead by Al Burke
the inner truth, empowerment and sexual liberation - Self's Blossom by David Russell
18++ "Self's Blossom is a story that should be in the Tate Gallery, were the Tate a gallery for literature as opposed to art. [...] This book is prose at its best. The language used is eloquent and intelligent. You won't find crude words or phrases here, but a rhetoric that is closer to that of Charlotte Bronte (yes, I did say Charlotte Bronte -- well, if she wrote erotica that is....) The narrative is highly descriptive and even a little "gothic" in some places." - D. Hardy, Goodreads

The dark past secrets - Dead Air by Cliff Protzman
"Dead Air is an impressive debut for author Cliff Protzman. I was immediately drawn into this story full force [...]. I would call it modern noir; gritty but also upbeat and surprisingly humorous. The secondary characters are vibrant and really well written [...]. The clues are all there in the narrative and the denouement is well paced, exciting and satisfying." - Annie, Goodreads
a time for forgiveness in the magic world - Book of Roots (Creole Moon #2) by S.T. Holmes
"Holmes penned an exciting journey that included intricate clues, glorious and maniacal creatures, nail-biting predicaments, and an ending I found both satisfying and a cliffhanger perfect to end a trilogy. She engaged me with an excellent description that brought to life the world of demi-gods, the bayou, the magic spells and potions, and the creatures and humans alike, but she didn't rely only on the narrative." Kathleen, GoodreadsBook Tour Grand Finale for First Crush, Last Love by Elizabeth McKenna
What do you hope readers take with them after they’ve read it?
I hope they, for a moment, remember how bittersweet love can be - especially that first love. I hope they are reminded that a bad relationship has to be ended, no matter how insecure you are, and I hope that the belief that things will get better is reinforced in the reader's mind.- Launch - Author Interview

[...] It does not matter what genre Carissa writes she always has a flair to tell an exciting story. A great fantasy adventure which I did not want to end." - Yvonne, Goodreads

Nothing is as it seems in the dark world of the Stalkers - Night Stalker (Dead Love Lives #1) by R.L. Weeks
"The Prologue of this book was intriguing, mysterious, and ended with a shocker. I was hooked immediately. The nightmare scenes were definitely frightening and had my pulse racing as Casey struggled to get away/wake up.
There was no shortage of action and suspense in this book. [...]
This book had it all and I cannot wait to read the rest of the books in the series." - Samantha, Goodreads

unanswered questions - Alice and the Assassin (Alice Roosevelt Mystery #1) by R.J. Koreto
"The novel's settings give the reader a grand tour of New York City in 1902. It also gives a good picture of the social structure of the city at that time. I liked the dynamics between the smart, sheltered and spoiled Alice Roosevelt and St. Clair. I'll admit to stopping in the middle of the story for a bit to research Alice since, while I'd heard of her, I knew little about her.
Fans of historical mysteries will enjoy this engaging and well-told tale." - Kathy, Goodreads
a dark puzzle - Eternal Victim by Dexter Morgenstern
"What a book. The author is pure genius!! The evil described here is so unholy and depraved that the darkness pervades into his words, into his pages, into his story.. There is a complete eclipse which obscures all the light. Traversing and defeating such a demonic spirit to reach the radiance of goodness is what this book promises.... Wow! What a ride!!!" - Shalini, Goodreads
a dark and deadly path - Tears of the Fallen by K.M. Hager
"If you read this story, be prepared for a roller coaster ride. Every twist or turn or ups or downs in this story will have you guessing what will happen next. [...] Right when you think this story couldn't have more going on in it, it does and it keeps going until the end. Looking forward to the next book." - T.R., Goodreads
a sure sign of bad things to come - Masked Desire (The Masked Arcana #2) by Alana Delacroix
"Alana Delacroix has done it again!! Masked Desire is the second story in her Masked Arcana series and it is a doozy! I absolutely fell in love with the Masquerada in the first book, Masked Possession, so I had high hopes for round two in Masked Desire. I was amazed by this story!" Deborah, Goodreads

an ill-defined edge - The Gene Police (Shep Harrington Smalltown Mystery #3) by Elliott Light
"Elliott Light has a way of creating characters that pop off the pages, and this book will have you immersed from the very first page. [...] Not only is the science of eugenics part of this novel, but throw in a murder mystery, and you’ve got a suspenseful, engrossing tale." Kerrie, Goodreads

this book is for smart sexy women - The Madonna Model by T.L. Ashton
“Authenticity is what Ashton’s second novel is all about. With a brilliant metaphor, Ashton connects fake people with forged art. Real people are authentic just as original art has provenance that proves its authenticity. Auction house art specialist, Jillian Warner, knows that every masterpiece has a story, and tracking down the provenance of paintings by Mary Cassatt, Sargent, O’Keeffe and others teaches her how to overcome art world forgers.

"It’s rare to find a book that’s both entertaining and intelligent: I found both in the Phoenix Cycle. [...] This should be required reading for philosophy classes in both high schools and at universities. The Phoenix Cycle class makes “choices” they never thought possible. The reader comes away questioning just how he or she would choose. Excellent read! " Mary Jean, Goodreads

before it’s too late - Serpents and Saviors (Project Emergence #2) by Jamie Zakian
"Not only was the story fast paced and fun, with a few emotional moments mixed in for good measure, the characters seemed well developed to me. I'm not a literary expert by any means, but I wasn't bored. I connected with the characters. I liked some, but not all. There was just enough back story to keep the present interesting but leave you wanting to know more about the past." - Katrina, Goodreads (about book #1)

"Wonderful. Touching. Cute. Contemporary Romance Read that once you start it will have you devouring it in one sitting…" - Beckey, Goodreads
Why all the yelling? - Anonymous by L.P. Dover
"This book kept me on the edge of my seat throughout its entirety. From the first page I was so engrossed I read it straight through without pausing. Although it never gets into “boiled bunny” crazy, it’s enough for you to know that whoever is behind the texts are unstable. This is definitely the book you want to read if you like suspense with your romance and a dash of thriller thrown in." - Carvanz, Goodreads
