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.
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!

The Seventh Crow (preview)
The Seventh Crow (preview) Sherry D. Ramsey
When you can’t remember most of your life, you’d better be prepared for anything. The day a talking crow meets her on the way home from school, fourteen-year-old Rosinda is plunged into a forgotten world filled with startling revelations: magic ability flows in her veins, she’s most comfortable with a sword in her hand, and the responsibility for finding a missing prince rests solely with her.
While dark forces hover in the background and four forgotten war gods from Earth’s past plot to reclaim long-lost power, Rosinda struggles with waves of slowly-returning memories. Her search for clues to her past will take her back and forth between two worlds, in a race against time to recover her memory, find the prince, and rescue her loved ones...

Love/Hate (Aspects: Book One)
Love/Hate (Aspects: Book One) L.C. Mawson
Claire had been on her own for so long, the last thing she expected was to fall in love.
Being chosen as the next in a long line of warriors protecting the cities of humanity from the alien monsters from the wastes was also unexpected.
Finding that her new position forbids her from seeing the girl she loves, despite the fact that her new powers are powered by her feelings of love? Yeah, that sounds about right...

Code of Rainbow: Soaring Flame and the Dragon...
Code of Rainbow: Soaring Flame and the Dragon-transcending Magimal Weiqi Wang
This is the first book of a teen fantasy book series that nurtures the bloom of MAGIC in the soil of SCIENCE - something rarely attempted. The transition from magic to science will be bit by bit, so the early books do read like a "mainstream" magic fantasy.
Soarame has a pair of special eyes. He can see magic elements in this world, which are supposed to be invisible. This enviable gift of his could reveal the truth of the world, but it also puts him in danger.
Many animals in this world possess magic power, so they are called “magimals” - dragons as examples. Soarame fortunately got a baby magimal as his best friend, but they got into troubles together - troubles that were a lot bigger than dragons.
Could they survive?

Bold, irresistible, and beautifully written, Scythe of Darkness is a riveting grim reaper novel that “hooks readers until the very end.” For Mia Hieskety, surviving high school means focusing on exams and avoiding stupid parties. After breaking up with the only boyfriend she ever had, dating is off the agenda. That is, until Thanatos comes along. Inexplicably drawn to him, she's determined to find out more about the mysterious boy. Without warning, she's thrust into a sinister world and discovers a truth that she never expected. When a supernatural connection puts Mia's life at risk, she doesn't know who to trust--especially Thanatos. But what if she's in love with him?
I read this preview of Scythe of Darkness and I'm hooked. I want to grab the full story and immerse myself in the world of Mia and Thanatos. I'm very curious who Thanatos is and what the magnetic pull toward him is. I can't wait to read the rest of the story.
Definitely a story to be reckoned with. Looking forward to seeing more from her.

Awakener (The Two Worlds Book 1) Alisha Howard
Most people dream when they sleep. At first I thought I was dreaming, too.
I'm not that lucky.
When I close my eyes, I don’t know if I’m coming back. Every night, I wake up on this alien planet. It’s a dangerous place where I’m hunted for magical powers that I have no clue how to use. Each and every night, it takes everything in me to survive. And then morning comes and I’m miraculously back in my bed.
Earth by day, new planet by night.
New day plan: get through class without nodding off, lie to everyone, and don’t get institutionalized.
New night plan: learn the rules, find allies, control the magic, and avoid the monsters that are trying to kill me.
This isn’t a dream. It’s real. And if it doesn’t stop, I’m dead.
