You guys know I'm a sucker for anything Beauty & the Beast. I read nearly every retelling I can get my hands on and Rachel Kovaciny is releasing one. As a rabid fan and consumer of her books, I can guarantee it will be worth a read! I can't wait to see her take on 'A tale as old as time'

Of Stars and Shadows Cover Reveal

 It's time for another reveal!

First, a little teaser to get you guys excited for this book. It has fae, need I say more.

The thing about death is that it’s supposed to be final. That’s what everyone says, and it’s true. Except, in the case of faeries, it seems. That was the one thing that they were supposed to have in common with humans. That is the one thing that all living things have in common. We all die in the end.

Except for apparently faeries.

One of my favorite quotes from the book.

Le Blurb

My gaze flicks up to Ravven who is resting with his eyes closed, pale and gaunt just a shadow of the former self he was only days ago. “So, what is your plan? I’m assuming that you have a plan.”

“More like a gamble.”

“And I’m part of that gamble? Are you sure that is wise? You know, considering our somewhat twisted history?”

Jaye MacCullagh may be the Fair Assassin now, but her troubles are far from over. Even though she killed the faerie enslaving her brother, she and Thomas are still just as trapped in the Otherworld as before. Only this time by the deceitfully glamorous Sidhe faeries of the Spring Court. Returning home seems like an impossible dream, especially when Jaye discovers that Ravven Crowe, the king of the Spring Court and her soulmate, is still alive… if just barely. Ravven needs Jaye’s help to discover how he survived, and how to stop himself from dying again. He is fading away and somehow Jaye is weakening alongside him. The only hope for either of them is for Ravven to reclaim his immortality by becoming a faerie again.

However, there is only one way for mortals to turn into faeries. They must drink from the well of Stars and Shadow on the night of the Feast of Starlight. Each court has a way to the well, but they guard it fiercely to keep just any human from becoming one of them. With every other way to the well-barred, Jaye and Ravven are left with only one option. They must enter a deadly labyrinth created by the Spring Court. If they can survive and if they can make it through to the other side, the well is theirs. But in the faerie world, nothing is that simple. Especially where the Spring Court is concerned. Forced to trust the man who ruined her or risk losing him forever, Jaye struggles with her convoluted feelings toward both Ravven and the faerie world. However, when her family arrives looking for her, Jaye feels further strained. Everything Jaye has ever cared about is at the mercy of the Otherworlds, and she can’t shake the feeling that no matter how hard she fights to win she is going to lose this time.

One Bad Apple- Cover Reveal

I've been so excited about this story!!! Rachel Kovaciny who is both an amazing friend and mentor of mine wrote a Snow White retelling! I have developed a huge attachment to the tale and adore the many versions of it, and I know hers will be exceptional.

It's releasing July 28, 2020 

And it has a fantastic cover!!!

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs... reimagined.

Fourteen-year-old Levi Dalton is numb. Hands tied behind his back, he's about to be hauled away for poisoning a beautiful girl and her kind father. The woman pointing her finger at him and accusing him of murder is the very same woman he hoped could teach him to heal illnesses, not cause them. The woman he idolized. The woman he trusted.

Levi knows he should be scared for his own life. But all he can think about is how graves always come in pairs.

Moonscript Cover Reveal!

I know it's been a minute. I promise I'm going to get back to posting at some point. I've been meaning to do a recap for about three months now. Stuff just keeps piling up.

Anyway, I have a new cover to share with you guys!

I love it!!! It's so pretty and ethereal. I adored her Snow White retelling Fairest Son and can't wait to read this one!

MOONSCRIPT SUMMARY

"It is said that Darkness is empty and whatever vanishes into its depths is lost forever. I know this better than anyone. For I have suffered here in the shadows, and there are none who might find me."

Seventy years. Seventy years the elven prince has been lost to the darkness, assumed dead by his people and endlessly broken for a book that connects to the hidden realm of his ancestors, a land untouched by evil.

And now a light in the shadows. A chance for freedom. But those willing to help him come from the unlikeliest of worlds.

The orphan girl, yearning for a loving family, and the boy who won't leave her side. A healer maiden given an unexpected chance for a life beyond narrowed expectations. A grieving creature flown far from home.

They all search for something and now their fates are tied to his. If their quest for life can pull him from the dark mire in which his soul drowns, then perhaps he can be saved.

Or else he will drag them all down to a fate worse than death.

The beginning of an epic saga, MOONSCRIPT is a journey of innocence, despair, and redemption.

Dawn Chandler - Cover Reveal

Today, I have the pleasure of sharing Eliza Noel's book. She is an absolute sweetheart, and I love what she is trying to do with her writing. We need more people like her writing clean fiction. I would encourage everyone to follow her, she is basically a human sunbeam.

Dawn Chandler likes the way her life is— or was. She liked going to the mall with her best friend, excelling at middle school, and attending church with her family. Typical life for a twelve-year-old in the city of Fresno.

When Dawn’s parents announced they were going to homeschool her, on her birthday no less, she felt like her world was falling apart. Normal kids are supposed to go to school, not read books at home. To make matters worse, they may be leaving the only home she’s ever known.

What are her parents thinking?

Before making the final moving decision, the Chandler family visits Lone Pine, a small town between Mt. Whitney and Death Valley. While there, Dawn and her siblings become acquainted with their eccentric great uncle, explore the new area, and meet a large homeschooling family. All of this makes the 'vacation' more bearable. Still, Dawn isn't sure if she can make the move and leave everything she’s familiar with behind.

Can Dawn learn the values of faith, family, and contentment?

Isn't that cover adorable! Review to come. 

Eliza Noel is a home school graduate with passion for Jesus, people, and literature. Growing up, her favorite books were always Nancy Drew, Anne of Green Gables, and Pride and Prejudice. Around age twelve she wanted to read something with positive values in a modern setting, but couldn’t find what she was looking for. So she wrote it.

When not doing something book-related (reading, writing, blogging, bookstagramming), Eliza works at her day jobs, spends time with her many younger siblings, longboards, has coffee with friends, eats chocolate, and listens to music. California is home, but she would like to travel more and feels she could learn to be content anywhere.

You can follow her writing journey and see snippets of her everyday life on elizanoelauthor.blogspot.com or by following @elizanoelauthor on social media.

Finding the Magic Reveal

I should have made this a fairy tale series or something. I just keep stumbling across these awesome sounding retellings. This one is a Beauty & the Beast retelling. I don't know if all of you are aware but I am a bit obsessed with that one. Just a bit...

So yeah, I might have flailed a bit when I found out Jack's new book was a retelling of my favorite tale. She is a brilliant writer, I especially love her characters. 

Here is the lovely cover!

Isn't it lovely!

I am ecstatic for this story!

Finding the Magic. 

Fifteen-year-old Belle is sent to the countryside to escape the London bombings of WWII. She knows she will miss her mother and worry about her father, who is away fighting in the war, but has no idea what awaits her in the manor in which she is to live. She finds friends in the staff but the mysterious and elusive master of the house frightens her. Can she teach him to find the magic in a world where magic seems to be long gone?

 Author Bio:

 Jack is an author, which is why she spends much of her time writing and little of her time editing. She likes to follow characters around and tell their stories even if they don't tell her everything they know about their stories.

She lives alone in a Hobbit hole and spends her spare time with her nose stuck in a book. When she isn't doing that she is busy baking bread and annoying her neighbors with bagpipes.

I promise to have a normal post next week. Then I have some tags, and I think a few blog tours. We shall see what happens.

The Wolf Prince Cover Reveal

Almost forgot about this! I signed up for a few blog tours and cover reveals when I had almost nothing going on, and then an avalanche of responsibility hit me. I am still trying to recover.

Anyway onto the real reason for this post. I was one of Claire Banschbach's beta readers for this story. I don't know if I should call myself that, because I fangirled more than anything else. It was quite a ride, I absolutely love Killain and this book!

So today is the cover reveal!!!!

Isn't it pretty! I love the wolf! Gives me a Zelda: Twilight Princess vibe that I'm really enjoying. It also suits the story itself so well.


Synopsis:

One prince. Two brothers. Three companions to prevent a sorcerer from destroying the faeries.
Prince Killian has always known he’s different. It’d be impossible to miss the whispers of an age-old family curse, to ignore the call of the wolves on his birthnight and the barely-veiled hostility from his people. His family insists there’s no curse. If only they were right.
When an evil sorcerer bent on destroying the faeries turns Killian into a wolf to use in his diabolical spell, Killian must rely on the help of his playboy brother, Lars, and Rose, an aspiring ranger they meet on the road, to escape the sorcerer and find the faeries who can turn him human again.
There’s only one problem. Faeries haven’t been seen in over 50 years.
Together Killian and his companions must overcome their differences and prejudices to defeat malevolent creatures along the road, evade the sorcerer and his minions, and find the faeries before the sorcerer can kill them all.


Its  got it all really! Faries, wolves, princes, princes who are incidentally wolves!  Add it to your TBR!

I mean wolves!!! (Sorry I just love them)

Dancing and Doughnuts Cover Reveal

I'm so excited to be sharing this! The lovely Rachel Kovaciny is releasing Dancing and Doughnuts in August. It's the second book in her  'Once Upon a Western' anthology series. Not to mention that it's a Twelve Dancing Princesses retelling. I can't wait to read it!

I've read her Sleeping Beauty retelling, "Man on the Buckskin horse." It was so good! The setting and story were unique and immersive. I highly recommend it, you won't be disappointed. Her writing style is fantastic.

Without further ado...
....

....

.....

Here is the cover!

A drifting Civil War veteran tackles the task of figuring out who's been spiking the apple cider at a Kansas dance hall owned by a family with twelve daughters.


Isn't it perfect, I love the western vibe and it suits the title so well! It's calling my name, and making me hungry, I love doughnuts. I'm always complaining about the lack of Twelve Dancing Princesses retelling s there are. You can find it on Good Reads here.
