Review: Eleanor and Grey by Brittainy C. Cherry

Eleanor & Grey, an all-new beautiful and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available now! Greyson East left his mark on me. As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near. Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again. When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined. I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man. The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain. When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only. He made me promise not to try to ge...

The Secret

Blog Tour: Best Day Ever by Kaira Rouda

BEST DAY EVER is a chilling page-turner taking place over just 24 hours that follows seemingly perfect couple Paul and Mia, as Paul whisks Mia away for what he promises will be the  best day ever , but may have ulterior motives ...   There have been many domestic suspense and psychological thrillers in the past few years, but what I love about BEST DAY EVER and what makes it unique is that it takes place entirely from the husband’s point of view, which, as Kimberly McCreight ( New York Times  bestselling author of  Reconstructing Amelia  and  The Outliers)  says, makes for “an unreliable and chillingly unrepentant narrator.” BEST DAY EVER is continuing to get great advanced praise! Good Housekeeping called BEST DAY EVER a “c hilling, satisfying suspense,” saying, “It's clear from the beginning that something sinister is going on in this novel, which will cost you sleep as you race through its pages.” and Library Journal gave it a Starred Rev...

Fast Five with Irena Brignull

I'm so excited to welcome Irena Brignull to the blog for a quick Fast 5! Favorite quote:   ‘ It’s never too late to be what you might have been .’ George Eliot. My mum has this framed in her office and it really reminds me of her. She is, in fact, a living example of it. She got a university degree in psychology in her 40’s and trained as a relationship counsellor, helping countless couples in a career that’s lasted until her retirement this year at the age of 70. She’s now about to start learning Italian. Favorite bookish moment:  There are so, so many, but I’ve picked my earliest. It’s from The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe when Lucy first hides in the wardrobe and feels her way through the fur coats until she reaches trees and snow, the lamp-post and Mr Tumnus in the land of Narnia. Reading this as a child was when I first understood the amazing adventures that stories can take you on. Best moment as an author:   As a screenwriter, it has to be the 18 minu...

Makeup Looks: The Refrigerator Monologues

About THE REFRIGERATOR MONOLOGUES: The  Refrigerator   Monologues  is for anyone who ever got upset at the way women were treated in comic shows, movies or books. The lives of six female superheroes and the girlfriends of superheroes. A ferocious riff on women in superhero comics From the  New York Times  bestselling author Catherynne Valente comes a series of linked stories from the points of view of the wives and girlfriends of superheroes, female heroes, and anyone who’s ever been “refrigerated”: comic book women who are killed, raped, brainwashed, driven mad, disabled, or had their powers taken so that a male superhero’s storyline will progress. In an entirely new and original superhero universe, Valente subversively explores these ideas and themes in the superhero genre, treating them with the same love, gravity, and humor as her fairy tales. After all, superheroes are our new fairy tales and these six women have their own stories to share. Amazon  |...

Makeup Looks: Spindle Fire by Lexa Hillyer

ABOUT SPINDLE FIRE: Half sisters Isabelle and Aurora are polar opposites: Isabelle is the king's headstrong illegitimate daughter, whose sight was tithed by faeries; Aurora, beautiful and sheltered, was tithed her sense of touch and her voice on the same day. Despite their differences, the sisters have always been extremely close. And then everything changes, with a single drop of Aurora's blood--and a sleep so deep it cannot be broken. As the faerie queen and her army of Vultures prepare to march, Isabelle must race to find a prince who can awaken her sister with the kiss of true love and seal their two kingdoms in an alliance against the queen. Isabelle crosses land and sea; unearthly, thorny vines rise up the palace walls; and whispers of revolt travel in the ashes on the wind. The kingdom falls to ruin under layers of snow. Meanwhile, Aurora wakes up in a strange and enchanted world, where a mysterious hunter may be the secret to her escape . . . or the reason for her to st...

Review: Letters to the Lost by Brigid Kemmerer

Review: I've been a fan (both personally and professionally) of Brigid Kemmerer's for years. I've long considered her one of those authors who I cannot figure out why the world hasn't caught on to the magic of her awesome. But I feel like LETTERS TO THE LOST is about to change that. At least I can say I knew Brigid way back when. LTTL is a heartbreaking tale of grief and hope. It's a rare book that can make me cry, but this one did. Multiple times. Brigid has this ... visceral way of connecting the character to the reader that leaves a lingering, haunting bond long after the last page is turned. Maybe this is your first Brigid book (if so, you need to read The Elementals  series NOW). Maybe you've been a fan since the beginning. Either way, it's safe to say that Brigid Kemmerer just upped the bar for all YA contemporary novels. ABOUT LETTERS TO THE LOST: Juliet Young always writes letters to her mother, a world-traveling photojournalist. Even after her mothe...
