#Review #Apocalyptic – Killshot: Icarus Series Book 1 by Aria Michaels


After the death of their parents, seventeen year old Liv Larson and her younger brother are separated by the foster care system. Her grades slip, her friends drift away, and she gives up on her plans for college. The only thing that matters is keeping the promise to get back to her brother. After months of solitude and anti-social behavior, Liv’s best friend Riley drags her to their high school’s rooftop solar flare party. Despite the beautiful lights dancing in the sky, Liv finds herself captivated by Zander, a mysterious boy with a crooked smile. For a few hours, she allows herself to feel normal again.

That is until what should have been a small flare erupts into a massive solar storm. Cut off from the rest of the world with no sign of rescue, fear and paranoia begin to take their toll on the group. Battle lines are drawn and their ranks are divided. Soon, those left behind must embark on a perilous journey to save one of their own…but, something sinister awaits them in the shadows and it’s undeniably connected to Liv.

Can she keep her promise to reunite with her brother? What are Liv and her friends willing to do to survive? Will their bravery and determination be enough to save them all from a rogue military unit, a terrifying virus, and the things that go bump in the night?

Or was Icarus really the KILLSHOT?

Review by Twinsie Kelly

It is not often that I have a difficult time writing a review because it left me speechless. I have had this book living in my TBR pile on my kindle for longer than I like to admit. I decided to go waaaay back and find something that caught my attention and wow, am I glad that I did. This book, just wow. I cannot find the words. If you like post apoc, conspiracy theories, military, teenagers overcoming obstacles, Sci-Fi, just some overall unexplainable craziness, (I am sure I am missing things) then I recommend Killshot.

Icarus is supposed to be a solar flare event but turns into so much more. We experience life just before and for the three days after Icarus. That’s right folks, this book gives us just before the solar flare and for three days after. So much happens and we get to experience is through Liv’s eyes. It is tough, emotional, frightening, mysterious, and overall…just WOW!

“Change is the only thing in this life that is ever guaranteed.”

There are things that people should never be exposed to but after a wicked event like Icarus, it has brought out the worst, but sometimes the best in people. Even if the best, hurts some of those people. It’s a strange combination but one that you won’t understand until you are put in those situations. Liv and her friends, well, experience it throughout this book.

I am now on my way to the next book. Not waiting around for this one!

#WOTR25 #AttendingAuthor #AuthorInterview #MajorEventSponsor – Jen Talty

Jen Talty

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

I never know how to answer this question! I have three kids. My oldest, a daughter, is in her last year of medical school. She’s 33. She traveled the globe and was in the Peace Corps before she decided to become a doctor. I also have two boys. 31 and 27. They are both married. I’m a simple girl. I can boil my passions down to three things. My family. My writing. My love for being on the water. I was born and raised on the water. I raised my children on the water. The very first big ticked my husband and I purchased together (at 19!) was a boat. The call to the water is strong. It is truly my happy place. I will often sit on my dock or take my boat out on the waterways and mix my passions for water and writing. I get so much inspiration from the water’s sounds, smells, and rhythm. It calms me. It brings me peace. Settles my soul.

How did you hear about this event?

I have been attending for a few years now. It is truly one of my favorite events. I believe I first heard of it through another author friend.

How many years have you attended?

This will be my third year!

What genres do you write?

I write Contemporary Romance, Small-town romance, Military Romance, and dabble a little in Paranormal Romance. I’ve been writing since 2003 and my first book (IN TWO WEEKS) was published in 2007.

What is a book of yours you wish more people read?

This is a tough one. I think I’m going to have to go with An Inconvenient Flame.

What is one fun fact about you?

I’m dyslexic. I had no idea until I was I believe 19. Oddly enough, I had flunked 10th grade English. Twice! With the same teacher. And that was after years of struggling through school. And not just in English and reading. But with math and every other subject. I was actually lucky to have graduated HS and college wasn’t going to be in the cards. I tried community college, but failed most of my classes. I got a job answering phones through a family friend. To be honest, I thought what my teachers had told me all through school was true. I was just stupid. Slow. Not capable of much. Until my boss, who was tried of not being able to read my handwriting, asked me if I was dyslexic. He told me his son was. He paid for me to be tested. Even paid for me to take a couple of classes to overcome it. At twenty-one I went back to college. At twenty-four, I graduated with a degree in Business Education. But the best part was that I had fell in love with reading during an elective lit course. My professor even told me I had a unique writing gift. I laughed. filed it away and went about my business. I taught for a few years. Had babies. Then one day, after reading every romance novel at the local small bookstore, I thought to myself, I can do this. So I did. Even though, I’m dyslexic. It’s often hard for me, but I think it’s the funnest and proudest part of me.

#Twinsieoftheday – Darkness Falls (Nature’s Fury Book 1) by A.E. Faulkner

As nature tires of human destruction, two sisters must face a changing environment that stands between them and survival.

———————————-

When Quinn and Riley set out on a family vacation with their parents, the trip ends before it begins. Mother Nature interferes with their plans, setting off a sequence of events that thrusts the teens into a hostile landscape.

Stranded, with limited supplies, struggling to figure out who they can trust along the way, they must determine how to survive nature’s evolving fury.

Review by Brandy

I received this book for an honest review.

With the description I was a little surprised that nature wasn’t the immediate problem that the girls
face. Instead it is bad people, and they must decide who they can trust. Then mother nature ups the
ante making a bad situation even worse.
The sisters are stranded alone, and after their food starts to run low, they start to come out of hiding. At
first nothing seems so bad, but then little truths about some people around them start to come out.
When Mother Nature gets in on the game things really start to get bad. With people in survival mode,
strangers become even more dangerous.
While not what I expected it is a good book about two sisters trying to take care of each other. There is
no explicit content, but there is a bit of violence and death as tragedy strikes.

A. E. Faulkner was born and raised in Pennsylvania. When she’s not lost in a book, she loves spending time with her husband and two sons, especially while hiking, biking, or exploring nature. She loves almost everything about nature—ticks excluded, and one of her biggest fears is the repercussions we will face when nature can no longer tolerate human destruction. As such, she never tires of reading dystopian-themed tales. Stories about the end of the world absolutely fascinate her.

#Review #Haunting – The House on the Hill by William Joseph


Welcome to The House on the Hill. It is a house unlike any other. Lonely, dilapidated, and with a tragic story.

Now meet Kacy Marie Aspen. A young and curious girl with schizophrenia who just turned seventeen. Upon discovering the house and witnessing several odd figures standing out front, she soon finds herself being stalked by them almost everywhere that she goes.

As she struggles to determine if what she is seeing is real or in her head, will she confront these strange characters and find out their story? Or will she descend into madness and learn that it might be all in her head?

Review by Twinsie Kelly

It wasn’t every day that the spirits from the local abandoned building wanted to befriend you.

There is a great story buried within these words. I have read other books by this author, and they can get a bit on the scary side. I was really expecting this to be more of a scary, haunting type of story. Or there to be more of a ghostly struggle. I don’t even know if I am describing my struggle accurately. **Note: I am going to attempt to give this review with no spoilers. Proceed with caution.**

Kacy, the main character, has struggled with hallucinations, is medicated and sees a doctor. Nothing else is really explained regarding same. She is drawn to this haunted house and many ghosts. This is where it gets sort of weird for me. The ghosts go silent and we go into a ton of just words about shopping and hanging out with her friend, but it seems to be on repeat just in different areas. I am not sure if it was filler and there was a certain amount of words that had to be met for the book or if there was a point to this, but it caused me to put the book down a couple of times because it just didn’t seem to “fit.” BUT, I am not a quitter! I had to know what happened so I trudged on when all of a sudden…BAM! The story is right here, right now, and is going nuts! It’s crazy, it’s sad, there’s a touch of insanity, there’s gunshots, there’s fire, there’s friendship, there’s crying, and then happiness! Then it was over…

There is truly a great story buried within these words, but you do have to get through some extra stuff to get to it. When you do, it’ll be worth it!

#Twinsieoftheday – Super Humans (The New Super Humans #1) by T.M. Franklin

A mysterious chest.

A terrifying vision.

Are their newfound powers enough to take down an unspeakable evil?

Chloe Blake’s campus rental has it all: a retro Victorian vibe, a beautiful picture window, and a perfect view of Ethan Reynolds—the guy who broke her heart and lives across the street. But when she sees disturbing visions of death slide across the panes, she’s convinced she’s glimpsed into Ethan’s future. She’ll stop at nothing to change fate and save him… even if it means everyone will think she’s crazy.

Wren Galloway has lost track of all the crummy cities she’s lived in. Plagued by nightmares, Wren wakes in a cold sweat with the vision of a nearby Victorian house still in her mind… and a strong urge to seek out the powerful talisman calling to her from its attic.

Drawn together by an ancient force, Chloe and Wren must work together to discover the house’s secrets and unlock their hidden powers to take down the shadowy specter that haunts their premonitions and leaves death in its wake.

Super Humans is the first book in The New Super Humans, an edge-of-your-seat contemporary fantasy series. If you like original magic systems, startling suspense, and fast-paced action, then you’ll love TM Franklin’s riveting thrill ride.

Review by Brandy

I received this book for an honest review.

From the description this book was not what I expected. This is not a bad thing, just different. I think
maybe I was expecting a bit more action. This is the first book by this author that I’ve read, so I’m not
familiar with the series that this was expanded from, so that may make a difference.
The story is about a girl and her best friend who are about to start their second year of college and decide
to live off campus. They rent rooms in an older house, and there is an old picture window that starts to
show Chloe things. These visons are of past, current, and future events leaving Chloe confused and
trying to figure out what to do. When she starts seeing visions of a horrible accident, she decides she
must do whatever it takes to stop it.
This book is very interesting, but it is a book that sets up a series. It gives you background stories, and
lets you know how the characters get to where they need to be for the main event. Wren doesn’t get
introduced until towards the end of the book, so we don’t know much about her power. There are also
hints that there are more characters to be added to the group. I am very interested in where this story
goes as this book did draw me in.

#Review – Winning the Witch by Tori Ross


Eliza Owl is all about helping her community. When her friend, Lily Jane, talks her into being a prize in the annual children’s hospital date raffle, she worries something will happen at the event that she can’t control. It’s not that she doesn’t like helping her community or children. The raffle is on Halloween, the one day of the year when her witch power is full and things just…happen.

Jake Salt thinks Christmas has come early on Halloween when he finds out he’s holding Eliza’s ticket. He immediately sets out to make their date a perfect night. But dating a witch on Halloween has its downfalls.

Review by Twinsie Kelly

Modern day witches get their day too! This was such a humorous and quirky read; I couldn’t put it down! Poor Eliza has done some crazy things on Halloween! She has such a difficult time controlling her powers on Halloween and things always go wonky! Boiled Koi fish in the pond and made the ex-girlfriend’s tongue disappear, I mean, what else could go wrong? Jake is an amazing guy who just can’t get enough of Eliza but when she tries to convince him that she really is a witch, things just get weirder and weirder. However, with each outrageous obstacle that they face together, he is able to show her how much he really cares and wants to explore Eliza for who she is, not what she is.

This is a super sweet Halloween read that you will love so hard that you won’t be able quit turning the pages and put down until the very very end! You will be able to see how it feels for a witch to be on the other side of a bonfire!

#Twinsieoftheday – Dread Pirate Arcanist (Frith Chronicles #2) by Shami Stovall

Pirates. Griffins. A lost treasure worth killing for.

While protecting the newborn griffins on the Isle of Landin, Volke Savan and his adopted sister, Illia, run afoul of the Dread Pirate Calisto, the same cutthroat who carved out Illia’s right eye. As a master manticore arcanist, Calisto’s strength and brutality are unrivaled, so when Illia suggests they bring him to justice, Volke wonders if they’ll have what it takes to fight the corsairs on the high seas.

A fast-paced fantasy with magical creatures for those who enjoy the Furies of Calderon (Codex Alera series) by Jim Butcher, Unsouled (Cradle Series) by Will Wight, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan.

Praise for the Frith Chronicles!

Perfect for those who enjoy the Codex Alera series, the Homas Wildus series, and the Harry Potter series. Stovall is quickly becoming a name I look for.”

Review by Brandy

I received this book for an honest review.

This is such a good sequel! I recommend reading book one as this one picks up shortly after the first and
it doesn’t really go over anything from the previous book. This book has it all. Pirates, magic, magical
creatures, secrets and revenge.
Volke and the other apprentice arcanists are sent with their master to protect Griffins during a bonding
ceremony. Arcanists are people who have bonded with a magical creature, similar to having a familiar as
a witch or wizard in other books but a bit more complicated. While on their mission the island they are
on is infiltrated by pirates. Their leader is the one who took Volke’s sister’s eye and this sends her on a
personal mission of revenge. Nothing goes as planned and it’s a race to see if they can beat the pirates
to what they really want.
The world building is excellent and layered on to what was started in book one. You really start to get a
feel for the global interaction of people and cultures in Volke’s world. Character growth is also really
good not only for the main character and his sister but for the other’s in their apprentice group. I would
recommend this for teens. There is no adult content but some violence as these pirates are not messing
around.

Shami Stovall is a multi-award-winning author of fantasy and science fiction. Before that, she taught history and criminal law at the college level and loved every second. When she’s not reading fascinating articles and books about ancient China or the Byzantine Empire, Stovall can be found playing way too many video games, especially RPGs and tactics simulators. She loves John, reading, and writing about herself in the third person.

Review- i bought this book here is my honest review

Meg and Michael wanted some time alone with Michael house sitting for different coworkers, and Meg being at her parent house there was no time for just them. Well one rough ferry ride to Meg’s aunts’ cabin is just what they needed. A tropical storm, being surprised by Meg’s entire family at the cabin they were all trapped together still not alone, stuck on an island with a bunch of bird watchers, a grumpy unwelcomed homeowner, and a dead body what else could go wrong. Sometimes wanting to get away can be a bigger pain then staying put. also, who spots the most puffins on the island. this was such a interesting and hilarious read the birders just make it that much funnier.


Blurb- I’m an adrenaline junky.
I run into burning buildings, put everything on the line and thrive on the high it triggers.
It’s how I live my life. It’s how I’ve always lived my life.
I love the fast pace. A new adventure every day.
So why can’t I shake my brunette neighbor?
Why when I see her do I feel like everything around me stops?

Grayson a very good-looking firefighter in Nashville is bachelor living his best life and is a well-known manwhore in the station. but he fights fires, saves as many lives as he and his brothers can, so why he has one-night stands with no strings attached. one morning he had a knock on his door from his neighbors very blunt younger sister telling him how big of an ass he really is. and since that very moment he got a good look at his neighbor he hasn’t been the same. Skye was a single mom to her teenage sister when she got guarding ship of her after their parents died in a car accident. that night changed both of their lives forever and as much as she can’t take it most days, she wouldn’t trade it for the world. now she’s doing hair in a solan with her new gal pals, and she’s actually happy, but one thing Skye didn’t want to feel was something for her manwhore of a neighbor. will Grayson be able to control his hose, and rumor has it magical tongue to let Skye in or will Skye just have to continue to listen to his life saving skills through the walls of their apartments. OMG this book was amazing, I flew through this book and i haven’t done that in a long time I can’t wait to meet the rest of these smoking hot fireman from station 47.


Blurb- Cooper

By day I’m fighting fires and saving lives with my brothers at the station, and by night I’m slinging drinks at our family bar with my blood brothers.
I was happy, but I couldn’t help wanting more.
When I stumble across the stunning redhead and her little boy, it’s like everything I was searching for just appeared in front of me.
When an apartment fire takes everything she’s ever worked for, I can’t help offering my home to her and that chubby faced toddler.
Soon enough, they’re not just living in my home, but now they’re permanent residents of my heart.
And if I have it my way, they’ll never go anywhere for the rest of our lives.

I never planned to be a single mom, but Roman is the absolute love of my life and the best thing that ever happened to me.
When I moved to Nashville for a fresh start, I never could have dreamed what was heading our way.
When the firefighter with a heart of gold steps in to help me and my boy, I vow to find some way to repay him.
I just never imagined I would end up giving him my heart.
I soon find myself imagining a life I never saw for us… a happily ever after.
But after years of never being enough or wanted by someone, can I trust that he really wants us forever?

Review- i was given this book by the author for an honest review

Haley is a single mama to a cute little boy, living on her own after just moving to Nashville after finding herself pregnant and her parents kicking her out of the house. the only person she ever had in her corner was her older brother Jensen, who is in the military to do anything he can to help his sister and his nephew with anything they might need. When Roman is getting his molars and can’t get any form of relief, Haley is exhausted and while he’s screaming in the store while trying to get a few items Haley finds a tall good-looking stranger coming up behind her asking if he could try to help her little guy. Cooper grabbed some frozen waffles, and it was the best sound Haley ever heard Roman was finally calming down. When Cooper turned that corner at the store he was hit by a ton of bricks, and he was needing to get to know this woman and her son, he can’t stop thinking about them at all. When the Station gets a fire call at Haley’s apartment complex, Cooper is now in a panic until he sees them and knows they are safe, but they are now going to be staying together while Haley gets back on her feet, but once that happens will Haley or Roman want to leave the comfort of Coopers house, or will he chip away at all the walls that she has put up to protect her heart so what happens in her past didn’t affect her life now. OMG these dang firemen are smoking, hawt and ugh I’m needing this station too be real. another great story and I need the next one. but these cliffhangers are torture in the best way.


Blurb- Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders…

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.

But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away…because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.

She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.

Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom’s protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret.

Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die

Review- i bought this book here is my honest review

OMG so idk how much I can explain how great this book is. so, trust me if you weren’t sure about reading this book and don’t want to fall into the hype of this world DO IT. Violet wanted to go into the scribe quadrant and that’s what she had taught her whole life her dad helped her. but with her dad dead, her brother dead, her mother is the general of the rider’s wing. She has no choice and goes to the riders’ class at the beginning of the new year. So much happens that you just get sucked in, Violet isn’t in the shape to be a rider but she isn’t going to give up, she uses her brain to help take out the rivals that are out to kill her. Dragons, swords, violence, and oranges. this book is gripping from the start.

Blurb- Meet Cecilia Chevalier, teen witch. Well, she doesn’t know she’s a witch. But when her powers develop on Halloween night, she does what any teenager who just discovered she has magic would her History grade, because that C- just can’t happen. Get revenge on her cheating ex. Make a table in the cafe disappear Okay, maybe that last one wasn’t on purpose. And the ones before it don’t exactly go according to plan. But learning to control magic is hard! When it’s only a snap snap away, Cecilia’s impulses are harder to control than ever.

Her life gets even more complicated when her best friend Ezra does some research on his family tree, and finds out that his and Cecilia’s families are oddly connected through witch ancestors.

Review- i bought this book and here is my honest review

Oh Snap, CC was just your normal high school girl, and loved everything Halloween, the whole town did actually think of it as Halloweentown they went all out carnival the school put on and so much more. Just when she thought it was a normal night CC was having some strange things happening her pool for the duck pond at the carnival one minute it was empty because it fell over and the next its full, she wanted to raise her grade and one snap and the toughest teacher made a mistake on the classes’ grades, and much more. CC was just wanting her bad luck to stop but she got so much more with the help of her bestie Erza, CC was going to get a snap snap reality check. ugh this was so cute and perfect cozy read for spooky season.
