Release Day Blitz & Review…Resonance by Ketley Allison

Resonance by Ketley Allison is now live!

I never planned to resurrect anything, let alone silence the witness who caught me. One chaotic night later, I’m property of the Resonance Academy, chained to its most lethal Elite as my personal handler.

Falcen Reaves is everything my village warned me about. Tall, lethal, and currently rotting from the inside out with the same forbidden magic now squatting inside my chest. He’s got black veins, a soul-eating problem, and the personality of a brick wall that’s personally offended by sunshine.

Unfortunately for him, I am 100% sunshine and 200% done taking orders.

Then come the blood-soaked trials, where students are fed to Void creatures, and the academy’s sadistic Keepers circle closer, sending those who scream the loudest to the catacombs below. And every time my control slips, every time I nearly drain Falcen completely, he wraps his hands around my wrists and asks for more.

Close proximity? Check.

Forced training sessions that feel suspiciously like foreplay with a blade attached? Double check.

A forbidden bond that keeps trying to knot our souls together while the Keepers sharpen their weapons to dissect us both? Chef’s kiss.

However, if we don’t figure out how to stop hating each other, the Void will do it for us. And what it wants is so much worse than death.


Resonance is a dark romantasy drenched in soul-magic, deadly trials, and a love forged in blood and Void. Perfect for fans of morally gray heroes and heroines who refuse to be broken.

You know it’s damn good book when you dream about it.

This is my very first book from Ketley Allison (why, I don’t know) and she has blown me away!

I don’t even know what to say except that very first scene in this book sunk it’s claws me into and I was immersed in this story til the very end.

I will provide a more through review once I collect my thoughts instead of just, “holy shit, I need more.”

Release Day Blitz…Walking In Darkness by A.L. Jackson

Walking in Darkness by A.L. Jackson is now live!

Torn between conflicting worlds―one light, one dark―two lovers plunge into the ultimate battle between good and evil in a thrilling romantasy by a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author.

I was born to hunt the evils hiding in this world. To slay and destroy.

My purpose was never supposed to be her. My forbidden soulmate. Protecting her was meant to be temporary―I’d stay close until I was certain she was safe, and then I would walk away.

I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with her, and I sure as hell wasn’t supposed to take her to my bed. I’d heard my entire life that touching her would only bring us to our deaths.

Except that with my mere touch, power flows through Aria in a way it never has before, and it’s becoming clear that our gods lied to keep us separated and weak.

Together, our strength feels unstoppable. But the monsters hunting her are more sinister than we could have imagined―a threat that could end all humanity.

Will our newfound powers be enough to save us?

*Walking in Darkness is book two in the Darkness Duet. Please read the first book, Visions of Darkness, before enjoying this one.

Stars see everything and forget nothing. And sometimes they meddle far too much.

Ava has no idea who she is or how she got on the unfamiliar island Peter Pan keeps insisting is her home, the place she’s safest. But there are shadows in his cunning eyes and something within her screams out a warning that he can’t be trusted.

When Belle learns that her sister is alive, she leaps at the chance to work with Hook, his crew, and their siren ally to free Ava from Pan’s grasp. She thought that with their help, she’d have time to save Ava before her secret was discovered…

She was wrong.

Can Hook and Ava find one another and manage an escape? Or will they be consumed by the malicious shadow and forget one another forever?

Release Day Blitz..Rivaled Crown by Holly Renee

The Rivaled Crown by Holly Renee is now live! 

I swore I would never return to this palace. Never kneel before my father again.

But I have been dragged back into his gilded cage, trapped beneath his rule, and bound to a fate I had tried to escape. 

My body is his to break, my magic his to wield. And no matter how many nights I dream of Dacre storming these halls, of his hands pulling me from the darkness—dreams are nothing against the greed of a king.

Even if my mate comes for me, even if I am freed from my father’s grip, I’m not sure there will be anything left of me to save. 

The kingdom is dying. The land withers beneath the weight of stolen magic, and my father’s reign will not end without bloodshed.

But I have lived in the dark for too long.

And I was not made to wither, I was made to burn.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Vengeance and Venom by Keary Taylor

There are vampires in New York City. Turns out, they’re everywhere.

I went in to find my best friend. Ophelia disappeared without a trace after going to one of those elusive Red parties. Turns out Red parties are where vampires feed on willing humans, and where some people vanish, never to be seen again.

I went to that party for answers. What I found was a dangerously gorgeous vampire with tattoos, piercings, and a legacy as dark as the shadows he moves in—Ares Hunt. He insists I’m in way over my head. Maybe I am. But when I refuse to give up without a fight, Ares makes a proposal: he’ll help me find Ophelia, but in return, I have to pretend to be his fiancée so he can infiltrate his father’s inner circle. His father, a powerful vampire, is at the heart of these Red parties, and Ares is desperate to bring him down.

Suddenly, I’m living in a world I barely understand—wearing a massive engagement ring, sharing a penthouse with Ares, and mingling with the vampire elite. Pretending to be Ares’ fiancée turns my entire world upside down. With every passing day, our business arrangement begins to blur. Ares is intoxicating. He’s a man born of darkness, filled with venom that equals my need for vengeance, but I see the protective man hidden beneath the rough exterior. He helps me face my demons. He makes me feel like I belong. And when he kisses me for the first time?

I realize Ares was right – I am in way over my head.

A note to readers: Vengeance and Venom features spicier content, more explicit language, and darker themes than Keary Taylor books of the past.

Amazon

VENGEANCE & VENOM is available in Kindle Unlimited. You can also grab the audio version on Audible, or the hardback on Amazon

You’re just going to leave us hanging like that!?!? That build-up and then the perfect pace that literally leaves us begging for more…

First and foremost, you can absolutely read this book with zero prior knowledge to any of the other books in this universe. Keary does a great job of describing this entire word in this book so you have an idea of what encompasses the universe, but doesn’t take away from this series and particular world.

Vengeance and Venom – they are out to get their own justice and answers but never expected to need the other. Nor to find solace and romance in one another.

Keary starts this series incredibly well and gives readers the slow-burn and perfect building blocks to what will be another phenomenal series. I enjoy the background of the Born and how they came to be. The history of Venom and his family and how all other families work together.

I want to say so much more, but want readers to experience this story the way I did – with very little knowledge except what the blurb says.

Keary delivers another heart-pumping , fast-paced paranormal story in her Blood Descendants Universe. I cannot wait for the next book.

Release Day Blitz…Visions of Darkness by A.L. Jackson

Visions of Darkness by A.L. Jackson is now live! 

Destined to be together, forbidden to love, two lost souls fight evil in an everyday world that belongs to the night. A dark romantasy by a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author.

Aria Rialta is a girl of two realities. One she was born to. The other she was chosen for. Both are a threat.

Every night when Aria falls asleep, she enters the nightmare world of Faydor to fight a war. It’s her calling to help destroy the Kruen, who feed sin and chaos to our everyday world of vulnerable humans. It would be a lonely realm in which to do battle if not for Pax, Aria’s dangerously irresistible soulmate whose mere touch can kill. It’s also a realm that’s getting harder to escape.

Aria’s hallucinations are seeping into her waking world. And the Kruen are coming for her. To help Aria, Pax must do what no one in Faydor has dared to do before—join his soulmate in the light of day. Giving in to their forbidden attraction could be the death of them, but they might not be able to stop themselves as they embark on a cross-country journey to fight the evils hunting them.

As their desire grows, so do Aria’s untapped powers, and a menacing new force far darker than the Kruen.

Release Day Blitz…Fangs of Fate by Rebecca Parcha

FANGS OF FATE by Rebecca Parcha is out now!

Check out the gorgeous new romantasy and grab your copy today!

Title: Fangs of Fate

Author: Rebecca Parcha

Genre: Romantasy

About Fangs of Fate:

Tate Aaralyn is both prey and predator—a duality that defines her. Beyond the veil that separates worlds, lies the Glenn: the home of vampires. There, she is prey—fragile, weak, her flaws laid bare. She is a vampire who struggles with the ethics of feeding. And yet, in the human realm she is the executioner of justice.

But when Tate is sent to a disciplinary hearing that results in forced enlistment to the gaura, her worst nightmare is made real. In desperation to make a lasting difference, Tate faces her biggest challenge yet—Aether, a vampire unlike any other.

As lines blur, she must navigate the labyrinth of lies and embrace her newfound power, all while questioning her mysterious bond to the male who has managed to capture her heart and, somehow, earn her trust.

Chance Dale may be the president’s son, but even with his birthright he is, by all accounts, a disappointment. After witnessing evil evolving and the violation of life as he knows it, Chance must find a way to defeat the dark magic before it spreads. The world of politics becomes nuanced, and he is forced to question the very statutes that have guided his life or watch everything he’s worked for burn.

Chance’s quest to secure the Glenn from foreign powers has his path crossing with Tate’s—his former lover and deepest regret. As the truth unravels, he must choose between the love he once had or the one he could have. Worse yet, that very love could soon become the enemy he hunts.

About the Author:

I love all things fiction, specifically, fantasy. Add a little romance, or sometimes a whole heap, and you’ll find my specialty: romantasy. As an avid reader and devourer of all things Fae, dragon, and magical, my work (as you may have guessed) is centered in that world. I love a strong female protagonist who defies the patriarchy while learning to love and trust.

I am one of the lucky ones; I married my high school sweetheart and am a mother of two adorable, rambunctious boys. As a Colorado native, I love the sunshine and crisp air while enjoying the outdoors with my guys…have I mentioned I’m outnumbered?

Stories have always held me captive—they are the air I breathe. It is my purest pleasure to share with you the tales that have been burning in my heart.

Release Day Blitz & Review…First Light by Elizabeth Hunter




First Light by Elizabeth Hunter is now live!


In the Shadowlands, strangers wear familiar faces, myths are reality, and lies hide behind the most beautiful stories.


Lachlan Murray disappeared without a trace. As his girlfriend, twenty-nine-year-old Carys Morgan refuses to accept the police’s explanation—that he simply left her. She travels to Scotland to seek help from Lachlan’s twin brother Duncan, and learns she was right—Lachlan didn’t leave her, he left her world to return to his own.


The Shadowlands are a mirror of the world Carys knows. Every human in her world also exists in this one with one key difference—magic.


Humans aren’t supposed to be able to wield the magic of the Shadowlands, but when Carys learns she can talk to dragons, she’s drawn deeper into a complicated world that would as soon kill her as keep her. And if magic and murder weren’t enough to overcome, she must navigate complicated feelings for two identical men from vastly different worlds.

First Light is my first book by Elizabeth Hunter and the first in her newest series, Shadowlands.

I am a huge fantasy reader so when I read the the blurb, it intrigued me along with hearing great review of her other books.

Elizabeth truly knows how to bring a story to life for her readers. I could easily picture the worlds as she described them. I really enjoyed the characters and how they all interacted and each brought their own purpose to the story.

I loved how this story is based on fairytales intermixed with mythology and other fantasy elements that truly give this story so many layers to it. Elizabeth keeps her readers engaged throughout this story with many twists and unique scenes that pertain to this amazing story.

First Light is a great start to this series and I am excited to read more in this series.
