Arclight by Josin L. McQuein
Title: Arclight Rating: Genre: YA / Dystopia Release Date: April 23, 2013 Publisher: Greenwillow Books Review: I am in love with Josin McQuein. It’s no secret how much I love dystopia and that clandestine romance dates back to The Giver from my 7th grade lit class. There’s something relevant and mysterious about dystopia and I’m constantly searching for new books that do it right. Josin has that gift. Arclight was a creepy techno-thriller, paranormal fiction, and YA romance all wrapped up into one neat little package. Marina’s lack of memory allows readers to grow and learn with her and Tobin’s … Continue reading

Shaman, Sister, Sorceress by M. Terry Green
Title: Shaman, Sister, Sorceress Rating: Author: M. Terry Green Genre: Adult/Urban Fantasy/Supernatural Publisher: Amazon Digital Services, Inc. Release Date: September 28, 2012 Review: This is the third book in the Olivia Lawson, Techno-Shaman series. I read and enjoyed the first two installments, and I would highly recommend reading the series from the beginning before starting this one. I really enjoy this author’s writing style. Her lead character Livvy is terrific, and she has a real talent for vividly portraying alternate worlds – in this case, the multiverse. As the title of the series implies, Livvy is a shaman who must … Continue reading

The Boar King by Michael Evans
Title: The Boar King Rating: Author: Michael Evans Genre: Drama/Suspense/Thriller/Tragedy Release Date: June 20, 2012 Review: Wow when a book takes you in, sometimes your mind finds itself building the world around what you’re reading.

King Jayson found this out the hard way. Introduce his sons who wish to stand up for their father, the King, just to be laughed at. Then the children (all of … Continue reading

Review: Something Strange and Deadly
Title: Something Strange and Deadly Author: Susan Dennard Rating: Genre: Paranormal Historical Publisher: HarperTeen Publication Date: July 24th, 2012 Review: When I realized this book was about zombies, I freaked out. I am NOT a zombie fan. I have friends that have endlessly tried to get me to watch The Walking Dead and I will not. I have nightmares even if I THINK about watching a thriller or horror movie/show. Nothing could ever convince me to watch anything to do with zombies. Until I read Something Strange and Deadly. Something Strange and Deadly definitely keeps the reader in suspense. I … Continue reading

Give Away and Exclusive Interview with @HeatherHildenbr Author of Dirty Blood
a Rafflecopter giveaway What inspired you to write DIRTY BLOOD? I knew I wanted to do a story about werewolves that was different than anything currently out there. It actually began as a NaNoWriMo project (National Novel Writing Month) in November 2010 and sort of morphed from there. I wrote the first draft, just over 50k words, in that first month. It was a crazy, whirlwind experience and taught me a lot about myself and my writing process to do it. Looking forward to it again this year. If you’ve never heard of it, check it out. They raise money … Continue reading

Naturally, it’s … Continue reading
