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!

Enchanting The Fey Complete
Enchanting The Fey Complete Rebecca Bosevski
They say she is enchanted, the most powerful of Fey. He’s been sent to kill her, before she destroys them all. It’s a good thing neither of them believes in prophecies...
…right?
Delivered to the Fey realm, she must awaken the power her mother supressed. But why did she keep this world hidden from her in the first place? Being a fairy was every kids dream.
Or was it?
She needed to know more about the life her mother ran from. Desmoree had to find answers. It was a long shot, but maybe, just maybe, she could ask the Fey that tried to kill her for help.
Could she trust him?
It was unlikely.
But what did she have to lose?
He’d already tried to kill her once.
Enter a realm divided by power, ruled by prophecy and on the brink of annihilation.

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?

A brilliant collection of short stories to get you addicted again to horror. Cross your fingers, let the dog sleep in the room, say a prayer before you go to sleep; you're not going to escape the excitement. Six's writing will have you living in his imagination for days afterwards.
Read this book of thirteen chilling stories during the day or when the lights are on. They aren't for the feint-hearted or squeamish. You'll see and feel these stories because of the Six's exceptional description. The damage paranoia causes, the breakdown of marriages and the hidden are among the subjects.
I love nothing better than a collection of short horror stories and this one delivers. It reminded me of the first time I read Stephen King's Skeleton Crew and had to bury it to feel safe afterwards.

Escape by J. R. Kruze Living Sensical
Hunted by evil, her only escape was to find the light, but her broken wings couldn't carry her to safety.
Why this tiny, suffering pixie was hunted by a monster troll seemed to be a simple urge - he needed to feed off her energy to keep living.

The troll needed food, but she had a secret message to deliver.
And that one message could prevent humans and fairies from losing a coming troll war...

Theft, treachery, and the unquiet dead...
Did you hear the one about the thief and the sorcerer who went to rob a senator? No, of course you didn't, it's a dull tale hardly worth recounting. Ah. But what happened after, now that's a story.
After being most unfairly swived and abandoned in the wilds, Breed Blake stumbles upon a barbarian who is also having a very bad day. It turns out when the great oaf isn't being attacked by bandits, he's on a mission to save a damsel in distress being held somewhere in the doom-haunted Scathblight Mountains.
A bargain is struck, gold is promised, and trouble ensues.
Dark, grim and wickedly funny, The Best Laid Plans is an anarchic, baroque and roll introduction to the award shortlisted 'The Chronicles of Breed'

I am a broken and damaged man adrift like a wandering soul from one wilderness and ghost hole to another. I am a wildman, perhaps even a mad man, now abandoned by the good Saxon gods, elves, and faeries. But it was not always so.

Apollo Is Mine Sample
Apollo Is Mine Sample Mila Young
I’m a warrior. Cursed to fight monsters. Sworn to act as Zeus’ sword to protect mankind.
But I’d give it all up for one last kiss with the god who stole my heart…Apollo.
I never wanted to carry my family's legacy. But blood ties cannot be broken, and I’ll keep the promise I made my father on his dying bed. Legendary monsters hunt in city streets of Chicago, and my job was to take down the worst.
What I’ve never done is fallen in love—until Apollo crossed my path. But he isn’t the only god to catch my attention. Hades is here too, and with him comes a darkness that leaves behind a trail of human bodies.
Darkness cannot win…or the Earth will tumble into chaos and I’ll lose Apollo.

Pretty Little Werewolf
Pretty Little Werewolf Katie Salidas
Most high school girls dream of popularity; all Giselle wants is a home. A child of the foster system, she's been rejected by more families than she can count. Being a werewolf in a world where supernatural creatures are not out and proud, is rough.
No one wants a freak!
When a family of shifters offers to adopt her, it's like a dream come true. Until Giselle discovers they're involved in a deadly turf war dividing the wolf packs in her city. Unless she can unearth the truth before war breaks out, joining a pack might just send Giselle six feet under instead of back to foster care.

Un-tameable PREVIEW
Un-tameable PREVIEW E Darkwood
A host is a promise of a new life.
A human host, is a valuable commodity. But for Security Subsection 30 Tier 110 Cubicle 350 Enforcer Rank 1, a lone member of the dominant species who at the lowest rank possible isn't dominating anybody, *both* are clearly an unattainable dream.
Until today.
For on this particular day the offer of a lifetime will be made.
However all is not as it seems, for to be offered a host is 'an impossibility for someone like her' or so she has repeatedly been told.
Which begs the question, which is worse? To live out her days floating in the safety of her isolated bubble or risking it all on a host who rumour has it has been branded as hopeless to tame?

Monroe Academy was built to separate the weak from the strong. Pass the biyearly leveling and be released into society upon graduation. Fail to be promoted and be stripped of rank and forced into servitude.
That was a rule that applied to all but Rayah Bardeau. A student of Monroe Academy, branded as a Null because of her absence of Lighter energy. With her mother standing as a slave in her place, Rayah was given until the age of twenty to make level six, but at nineteen-years-old and with only eight months until her twentieth birthday, she was only a mere level one. The same level she’s been since she was ten.
With the stress of her upcoming test, the loss of a friend, and the constant wrongdoings towards her, Rayah could only dream of escaping from Lytonia, and escape she did...

I love horror and mysteries with historical settings and find it specially interesting for a werewolf story. I loved the cover, which conveys a great mood and invites the reader to embark on this dark tale.
Great concept!

I started out as just a normal coven witch with teenage problems and boy crushes. I argued with my sister, I rebelled against my parents, and I skipped classes from time to time.
Things were simple then.
And how I wish things were that simple again.
Now I was preparing for a war against the hunters. The very beings that tore my life apart, but how was I going to be able to fight when I could barely protect myself?
And why were the masters of magic at our new training session?
I had the feeling that things were going to get a little too…extraordinary.

To be different…
My entire life I’ve always been different from everyone else, and in Lytonia, being different is treated as a crime. In my case, I was granted a pass. I was given a second chance to prove that I could fall in line, but with my lack of power, that would be impossible.
In only a few months, I must present my abilities to the council and prove to them that I am worthy of walking the halls of Monroe Academy, but Artemis, my tormentor and superior officer, will stop at nothing to keep me from excelling. Being powerless and not proving myself means that I could be made a slave, and Artemis would become my master.
