THE HIDDEN GUARDIAN
.
Autumn and Renall’s journey was amazing!
.
I was immediately hooked by the mysterious and sad nature of Autumn’s life. Then Renall comes along to save her and shows her that he’s a wolfy shapeshifter. I liked Autumn and Renall from the start. They can’t even communicate early on, but definitely have a connection, as they journey to the home of his wolf pack. When she gets there, she is introduced to pack culture and the women who keep them safe called Guardians.
.
The truth comes out about what Renall has sacrificed just to be with her as he faces a trial that might end in his death. As the two of them grow closer, Autumn learns more about who her family was and finds out she possesses an incredible power—one that might just save Renall’s life.
.
I can’t wait for book 2!
.
If you were ever Team Jacob, like fated mates, action, unique worlds and slow burn romance with spice then this is one to read.
.
Thank you to Love Notes PR and the Author for an early ARC.

OUT OF AIR🤿
.
Upcoming book release and review
.
The description of this book begins as Wilder Girls meets Outer Banks. I’m going to add with a dash of the Pirates of the Caribbean, with the exception being this is a contemporary story, and the curse isn’t based in magic since it has a scientific reason behind it.
🤿
This was a wonderful mix of horror and mystery for me.
Scuba diving friends seeking treasure discover a curse that will change them forever.
Flashbacks help set up the friends’ relationships both good and bad, and give us insight into another mystery that plagues our main character, Phoebe. All the while, she deals with the transformation she and her love interest undergo.
We get more answers when she is forced to go back to where it all began after she and her friends are kidnapped by other treasure seekers.
The ocean, with its natural dangers, definitely added to the horror aspect.
I found myself wanting more monster, which makes me wonder if there might be another book, but even if there isn’t, everything is wrapped up by the end of the book.
Fun read, highly recommend. 5 Stars.

YOU DON’T WANT TO GET THRASHED!

In this book The Thrashers are an infamous clique. It’s all through the eyes of Jodi Dillon an outsider/insider in the group and is haunted over the circumstances of Emily Mills’ death.

Emily wanted to be a Thrasher.
Emily died much like her own mother.
Emily is reaching out from the grave.

A thriller worth reading with morally gray characters. Everyone has secrets and of course you may be a bit surprised by how it all plays out.

A five star read for me.

Thank you Netgalley, St. Martin’s Press and Wednesday books for letting me read an e-arc of this book.

Happy Good Friday Friends
It’s also a Friday Freebie Reminder
.
Anthology Ebook is free!
All the Promises we cannot Keep
Short Story is ☠️ This Love
.
What’s it about?
A girl uncovers a murder plot on her first day at a new school.
.
When?
2123 in Texas with lots of futuristic techie fun
.
How it all begins…

“We like this town, right?”

“We do.” A lot is riding on me not causing trouble. He testifies against the criminals he worked for to avoid being charged with murdering the man who tried to kidnap me. When I create chaos, he puts another bad guy behind bars. To keep us together and protect my secret. Except now there’s no one else for him to bargain with. I must keep my demons at bay because the IPP won’t reset our lives again.

A quick peck on the cheek, and I’m walking toward my future, breathing in the scent of lavender planted along the sidewalk, slinging my skinny noir Swiss Army backpack over my shoulder. My hair is back to its original black, and I’ve pulled it up into two tight pigtails on top of my head. I’m wearing a simple black T-shirt with a pair of high-dollar Chissy jeans from an expensive boutique downtown, bottomed off with my favorite tennis shoes. The long light cord to my earbuds wraps several times around my neck, a current pulsating fashion statement.

Today will determine the rest of my life.

Definitely a foodie (cat food of all kinds and wild game)
Yet he’s also loving and sweet (loves his back scratched and you can’t beat the purrs)

Maybe that’s all cats lol

How would you fare facing deadly dangers yet being virtuous while doing it?
.
Especially when you aren’t sure which virtue is being tested (kindness, patience, humility, etc.)
.
#review
This was a good one.
A town with a 20’s feel, where magic is real.
Only a Holtzfall can have or perform magic which has made them powerful and rich.
So, a murder of the next Holtzfall heir results in a competition between cousins to take over as top dog in their family.
There are multiple POVs but my favorites were Nora whose mother was murdered and she’s set on solving it (she will by the end of the book).
My other favorite was Lotte, the illegitimate child that no one knew existed but has as much right to win as any of the others. It was fun to learn about the family with her.
.
The trials were awesome, but I wish there had been more-or extended scenes of those-because they were a lot of fun.
.
One of my favorite book’s I’ve read this year so far and now I have to wait for Book Two lol.
.

Thank you netgalley and Penguin/Viking Books for a free copy of this lovely book.

OUT NOW
.
A dark, gut-wrenching retelling of Snow White, one of my favorite fairytale characters.
.
The author revamps the story from the point of Snow White waking up and escaping her glass coffin.
.
You’ll recognize some characters and she’s added new ones, placing them in a decaying and dangerous world where Snow is forced to reinvent herself.
.
Not for those who enjoy the typical fairytale ending, but still an interesting read.
.
Thank you St. Martin’s Press / Wednesday Books and Netgalley for the e-arc.

Preorder link: SEE BIO (I got mine 😊)

Blurb:
Spring, summer, fall, winter.
Every season is a season for romance. This first volume in a collection of short stories will take you on fantastical adventures of romance and daring. Sweet spring tales of blossoming love with a sprinkle of swoon and snark.

I’m so excited for all the seasons and I have it on good authority there will be lots of dragons involved.

Proceeds benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities!

Not counting e-books, #heavenbreaker was mine. Yes, it was sooooo pretty and one day I’ll stop admiring how pretty it is and read it lol.

It sounds wonderful: I cannot stop death but I can make it think twice.

This beautiful book was a Christmas present from my sis. It was an #owlcrate special edition and is full of art inside the book and under the dust jacket.
I haven’t started it yet but it’s so pretty!

Breath of the Dragon
By Shannon Lee and Fonda Lee
Release Date: 1/07/2025

Jun is a twin separated from his brother and mother by the Snake Wall that separates their country. He wants to be the next Dragon Guardian which requires him to win a fighting competition. He’s single-minded in what he wants and thinks little of anyone else—at first.

During his journey to get to the there and during the competition he connects with new and old friends. He learns a lot about himself and the world in which he lives.

The fantasy elements come out during the fight scenes. Everyone has different gifts and some “special people” even have scales marking them as such.

I liked the martial arts focus and the fight scenes were fabulous. Ren is the love interest but there really wasn’t any romance. She held her own and had her own storyline. My favorite secondary character was his nemesis from his old fighting school - I loved seeing how their relationship grew.

Thank you St. Martin’s press and Netgalley for an eArc

I hope you had a some great times in 2024 and a wonderful holiday season.
.
Do you do new Year Resolutions or have a bucket list?
I’ve landed on trying to do something new every year. My new adventures this year include:

🦎Holding a baby alligator at the Miccosukee Indian Village in Florida and learning about their culture was super cool
🐀A wild opossum I’ve nicknamed Mort pilfers food - he’s super shy and thank goodness he gets along with our cat 🐈
🍲I tried Vegetable Mei Fun - a new favorite
.
New year, new goals, and hopefully some more of the stories I’ve been working on will be coming out.

Wow it’s almost 2025!
Got my new Wild Woman calendar 💃
.
That also means a new batch of releases and preorder goodies. I’ll be making a few changes on the information I find.
The list will no longer be on my website, but I’ll still post what I can here and some of my favorites will be included in my newsletter.
Also there are some other bookish bloggers whom I feel do this same thing … but better lol. Like @nicolefictionaddiction and @beautifulbooks.info
.
You can still find information in my story highlights 😉
.
Why the change? This will free me up to write, explore some new business ventures, and go on some personal adventures of my own.
