    [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.

    [Novella Review] Elderwood Manor By Christopher Fulbright And Angeline Hawkes & Peet’s Coffee Gia Organic Blend

    I’ve heard good things about DarkFuse’s horror offerings, and I’ve got to say, I was not disappointed at all. Gorgeously creepy descriptions and fantastic pacing made this novella a great way to scare myself silly for an evening. The story opens in kind of a classic horror setting: a desperate man driving down a dark road to his family manor, a place he promised himself he would never return to, but extenuating circumstances have forced his hand (in this case, he needs money and his mother has called him home on her death bed).  When Bruce and his son Cody get to the grand manor, the house and the grounds…

    [Book Review] Noble Metals By L.A. Witt & Heritage Coffee Klondike Blend

    I love L.A. Witt books and I love steampunk, so when I saw that L.A. Witt had written a steampunk book I just about squealed with joy (confession – there was actual squealing and maybe even a little chair dancing). A historical action/adventure romance set in an alternative history that combines steampunk with the Wild West/Gold Rush, Noble Metals is a tale of two men searching for precious noble metals (namely gold and platinum) and discovering an even greater treasure in the love they find within each other’s arms.

    Secrets of Neverwood: Series Recap and Review

    I really enjoyed this series. Each story is easily a standalone, but work brilliantly as a cohesive unit. That being said, it’s better to read them in order, as the overarching storyline does have chronological importance to it. Having a different author for each book in the series was really a stroke of genius as each author’s individual writing style really served to highlight to different personalities of the brothers. Each book feels fresh and original because of this, but with that comfortable, welcoming feeling of returning to an already known space and time. 5 star ratings all the way.

    [Book Review] The Growing Season By Diana Copland & Paramount Coffee Love Grows: Toasted Maple Nut

    Secrets of Neverwood is a three book trilogy with each book following one of three foster brothers: Calvin, Danny, and Devon. The brothers, who vaguely remember and feel no brotherly love towards each other, come back to their old home when their foster mother Audrey dies, leaving her run-down family home, once a grand Victorian estate, to the three. The men run afoul of a deceptive developer who will do anything to get his hands on Neverwood and must learn to work together, trusting and opening up to each as brothers, to keep the house and carry on Audrey’s legacy of taking in gay or questioning youth who have nowhere…

    Stranger On The Shore is first and foremost a mystery, but the romance unfolding within feels anything but secondary, instead both aspects blend seamlessly together in this intriguing and compelling read.
