The Ghost Who Loved by S. H. Marpel
The Ghost Who Loved by S. H. Marpel Midwest Journal Press
Rose doesn't know why she survived the accident and everyone else was dead.
It was horrible. And she hasn't been able to cry since. Even at the graveyard where she was now.
And then she looked over a few rows and saw a guy standing in front of a grave marker of his own. He looked too sad for someone that good looking.
She came over to see if she could console him, help him somehow. His name was Tom, and he had the most amazing eyes she'd ever seen.
But something was different about him, something that would haunt even her.

Tardy Bells and Witches' Spells PREVIEW: Wom...
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.

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.

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!

Now we were second guessing ourselves.

Running. Were we really back to this again? The wind was blowing through my hair, my heart was pounding against my chest, and I felt my legs moving, but it still didn't seem real. Not even the cut on my forehead bleeding into my left eye could convince me. 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...
Ugly Past Bright Future
Ugly Past Bright Future Dr. Delphine Tamukong
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.

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.

When Jeremiah arrived at Megiddo Station, all he wanted was to make some trades and resupply his starship. He never thought he'd come away with a wife.
Before he knows it, he's back on his ship, alone with his accidental bride. Since neither of them speak the same language, he has no way to tell her that there's been a terrible mistake. And because of the deadly famine ravaging her home, there's no going back. She's entirely at his mercy, and that terrifies him more than anything.
Jeremiah isn't ready to take responsibility for anyone. He's a star wanderer, roaming the Outworld frontier in search of his fortune. Someday he'll settle down, but for now, he just wants to drop the girl off at the next port and move on.

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.

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!

I love your Book title....
Great read. You feel like you're walking in Steve Anderson's shoes in search of the truth.
Michele PW is a brilliant author! I always feel deeply involved in her books.
Sounds intriguing! What's more spooky than a twin who's been somehow changed?
Chrissy à la Carte
Chrissy à la Carte Genevieve Lerner
Chrissy's life is the dictionary definition of a hot mess.
She's homeless, unemployed, broke, extremely single...and now she has
to live with her parents!
What could be better?
...Literally, anything.

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.

Not special. Not chosen. But she’s got magical shoes.
14-year old Karina doesn’t know what she wants, but knows what she’s found—fascinating silver shoes. Fascinating, dangerous, and potentially evil. On the upside, they do bring cool visitors. When a princess invites her to go to Whyland, of course she accepts. There’s that little “let’s destroy the shoes” detail she’s not crazy about, but hey, free trip, alternate world.
But Whyland is nothing like she expected. Karina finds herself stuck in a kingdom she doesn’t understand, with no clue on who to trust. Before saving anyone, she’d better save herself—if she figures out how.
Meanwhile, the princess will jeopardize everything just to reconnect with her boyfriend, almost boyfriend, or whatever—and that might be their doom.

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.
