Night Plague
Night Plague Rowan Rook
Humankind will soon be extinct. A mysterious pandemic cut through two-thirds of the population in just four short years, and within another four, it will decimate everything – and everyone – left. As the last days tick by, relentless and ruthless, the reclusive Mason Mild finds himself torn between a peaceful end and a brutal immortality. Between his hopeless, but comfortable days with his family, and something new…something violent and wild. Have the fang marks above his heel dealt him an early demise or a second birth?
The first few pages suck you in and then you can’t stop reading.
Captivating from the beginning. Always leaves you wondering what happens next. Until the very last paragraph, where the surprise twist...
This book plots nicely and has a great atmosphere. I love the central character Mason Mild.
This is my kind of book

A preview of The Breathing Sea I:
Dasha is a gift from the gods. Only she’s not very gifted. Or at least so it seems to her.
Eighteen years ago, Dasha’s mother made a bargain with the gods. She would bear a gods-touched child, one who would stand on the threshold between the worlds, human and divine. Dasha is that child, now almost ready to become a woman, and one day take her mother’s place as Empress of all of Zem’. Except that Dasha is shy, lonely, and one of the least magically inclined girls in the Known World. Instead she has fits and uncontrollable visions. When she sets off with her father on her first journey away from her home kremlin, she hopes she will finally find someone who can help her come into her powers. But those whom she finds only want to use her instead.

Love this cover! It evokes a primal feeling.
These sound like stories that I would enjoy, and I love the cover!
'Winter of the Gods' is a fantastic title. The premise, a reimagining of classic Russian fairy tales, is even more interesting. If you're looking for stories of warriors and magic, give it a try!

Magic Mafia. Sorcerer Police. A girl on the run from both.
Helena Martin doesn't know who she hates more, the sorcerers who fired the magic-laced bullet or the gang-lord master who used her mother as a shield. It's not the price she expected for escaping magical slavery, nor is the unstable power now pulsing in her veins.
Caught between her former master's hunters and the Guild Sorcerers determined to kill them, she finds a safe haven at a dog rescue willing to take in a different kind of stray. But Helena's newly-unleashed power is a beacon for her enemies. And they're threatening the first place she's ever thought of as home.

Tardy Bells and Witches' Spells PREVIEW: Womby's School for Wayward Witches Sarina Dorie
Nerdy high school outcast, CLARISSA LAWRENCE, has always felt like she didn’t belong in this world. More than anything, she wants magic to be real—and not just because she’s obsessed with Harry Potter and tries to go to Narnia by reading fantasy novels in her wardrobe. Yet, when she stumbles upon real magic, and fairy tales come true, she doesn’t expect to be the evil villain in her own story.
Clarissa learns she’s descended from an evil witch and is destined to kill her older sister. When she meets a cute boy who offers to train her in magic, she must make a choice. She can have a safe, normal life and no harm will come to anyone. Or she can choose magic and risk everything and everyone she loves in order to be what she’s always known she was meant to be . . . a wicked witch.

Fun read! Love Chrissy, the main character. I want to take her home and save her. Genevieve Lerner is a now must-read author for me!
Writing humor is tough and this book made me laugh. It was a quick read about Chrissy and the messes she finds herself wading into. The wedding day mayhem was a bit over the top, but I enjoyed the book.
Genevieve Lerner really got inside the mind of the very mixed-up Chrissy. She's infuriating, scatter-brained and utterly delightful. A sharp, fun read.

Fae's Queen: The Crown of Myth
Fae's Queen: The Crown of Myth Mira Crest
If school is hell, Sophia and Audrey are definitely demons.
There's no point staying. One more step off the cliff and all this hell would end.
No harm making one last wish, Myth thought. It's supposedly just a dumb legend: when one wishes upon a full moon, one's dream will come true.
But when a fae appears and escorts her to an alternate universe where a hot fae prince awaits, Myth knows it's more than a legend.
Myth is to be the prince's princess, his mate. And who can resist his alluring glance and perfectly shaped tanned body.
He will do everything to keep her from harm.
But her new role is not as simple as it seems, and secrets and dangers lurk behind this new world.
Will she uncover the truth in time or be doomed to a fate worse than death?

The Trouble With Trolls
The Trouble With Trolls Sarina Dorie
In this fractured fairy tale, a wicked and selfish king accidentally marries a troll. Their child is a troll changeling who becomes the king’s monster and pet warrior. The troll discovers along his path of destruction that he actually prefers being gentle than acting as a monster, and his weakness of being part human isn’t such a bad thing.
Sarina Dorie's The Memory Thief is perhaps not all that probable, but a fun romp through an off-world steampunk romance with fascinatingly elaborate plotting.
love your cover!
You can't beat a good witch story, and as a fan of them, this one rocks, and should be an essential part of your reading collection. Grab it today!
Just think if that was possible? This story has so much exciting potential when it comes to 'what-if' scenarios. Add the sci-fi element to a thrilling romance, I believe this book has every ingredient needed for a great book.
All the best.
I downloaded this book as something to read over my lunch break and completely fell in love! I found the characers so wonderful and believable. The world-building is just amazing! I definitely will be looking up the rest of the Womby's School for Wayward Witches books!

Into the Fire K. Gorman
Magic. For Mieshka Renaud, the word is as foreign to her as space travel. Although three mages live in her city, fueling a defensive shield that keeps everyone safe from the Swarzgard-Westran War, her knowledge of them comes only from a brief spotlight in her high school curriculum--and, thanks to an inter-city move, she missed most of those classes.
In a single day, everything she thought she knew is thrown on its side.
She has magic, and soon the city will depend on her to use it.

It’s been over a year since we had to escape from the hunters…since they broke our family apart, and now we're running again...

Laundry Day
Laundry Day Genevieve Lerner
Shannon doesn't want the guys to know she is eavesdropping, so naturally, she is hiding in a washing machine. Will they ever find the pooping culprit?
Fun read! Love Chrissy, the main character. I want to take her home and save her. Genevieve Lerner is a now must-read author for me!
Writing humor is tough and this book made me laugh. It was a quick read about Chrissy and the messes she finds herself wading into. The wedding day mayhem was a bit over the top, but I enjoyed the book.
Genevieve Lerner really got inside the mind of the very mixed-up Chrissy. She's infuriating, scatter-brained and utterly delightful. A sharp, fun read.

This is one of Jay Allan's best MSF Series you will ever read. I gave this Book 4 Stars on Goodreads and the story gets even better in Books 2 and 3. Check out my Review on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1549693826
Read this book awhile back and it's still as good as ever with plenty of action and adventure to be had.

When the Cities Died, I Danced by C. C. Brower Living Sensical
A couple of days after the cities died, I was there. Dancing.
Whether it was appropriate or not, there was no one around to care.
I had things to celebrate and this was my way.
Because I and my family were still alive. And perhaps it was a wake for those who weren't.
It wasn't a sad occasion, but joyous.
...That was my reason for dancing. I was thankful. Grateful. To be alive. To have my family. To be able to enjoy this earth.
Bonus Stories Included: When Vacation Plans Revise, The Caretaker, Return to Earth

I would tell you that I was not perfect and that I never thought this day would come
when the story of my life and my wife’s life would be a testimony of God’s incredible
power of forgiveness and ability to change the past and bring beauty into our future.
We are different beings because the mistakes of our youth, though painful and
regrettable, do not define us now.
If you ask me, I would say I do not know how it happened. If you ask me again, I
would say it is God. And if you press on and ask me one more time, I would tell you the whole story.
