    [Book Review] High Stakes By Brandy Schillace & Boca Java Atomic Cinna-Buzz

    Narrated by sixteen-year-old Jacob Maresbeth, High Stakes reads like the most interesting “How I Spent My Summer Vacation” essay I’ve ever read. Jake is not a vampire, not really. Except he kind of is. He drinks blood and his internal clock definitely has a nocturnal preference. But beside that, he’s pretty much your average healthy, growing teenage boy. And being an average teenage boy, he’s pretty disgruntled that he has to leave the sunny beaches of his home town of Newport News, Virginia to spend two weeks of his summer vacation with his younger sister in Cleveland, Ohio with their Aunt Sylvia, an eccentric English professor. Aunt Sylvia’s been kept…

    [Book Review] Poison Promise By Jennifer Estep & Honeybird Coffee Velvet Assassin

    The Elemental Assassin series is an Urban Fantasy set in the fictional town of Ashland where corruption runs rampant and vampires, dwarfs, giants, and elemental magic wielders are all common place. In Poison Promise, Gin Blanco, main character and certified badass elemental assassin wielding the powers of stone and ice, is trying to get things back to normal after her latest bout of assassinating (I don’t want to say straight up murder, because these people kind of had it comin’- but yeah, she kills a lot of people. Be warned) and struggling to get over the recent loss of a loved one. But there’s no rest for the wicked; even…

    [Blog Tour & Giveaway] Misplaced By Lee Murray & Batdorf & Bronson Coffee Roasters Skye’s Mountain Blend

    Misplaced is the story of seventeen-year-old Adam as he deals with the aftermath of his mother’s sudden disappearance. It’s a poignant look into the life of someone dealing with a loved one gone missing – from an inkling that something’s wrong, to filing a police report, to pleas of a safe return featured on the news and newspaper articles, and then, later, trying to come to terms with the fact that this is really happening and there’s nothing anyone can do to bring that loved one home again.

    [Book Review] Sin By Sharron Riddle & Coffee People Black Tiger Extra Bold Coffee

    With an urban setting, fickle Fey politics, and a school/compound where young druids are raised in the ways of magic, Sin is kind of like Harry Potter meets Holly Black’s Modern Faerie Tale series.
