Available March 15th... Heroes, by Ednah Walters!! Pre-Order NOW!

Heroes Teaser1PreOrder Links:
Heroes are not born. They rise out of love and duty.
But what if you have to choose?
Eirik wants nothing more than to show Celestia—the Witch who pulled him out of the darkness—that his feelings for her are real, but his parents expect him to avenge a wrong done to his family. To make matters worse, Celestia is moving on and is already dating another guy. Then Eirik discovers she is the key to accomplishing his goals. Caught between love and duty, Eirik will do whatever it takes, including getting up close and personal with Celestia, to get his way.
Celestia is convinced she is drawn to Eirik because of the bond created by the dragon’s kiss, so she pushes him away. But when he comes to her for help, she is once again thrust into his world, where things are never what they seem.
From Earth to the realms of the gods, betrayal follows them and help comes from unexpected sources. But when the time comes for Eirik to choose, will he fulfill his duty or follow his heart? Everything rests on his shoulders as the wrong choice may lead to Celestia’s worst fear—the rise of the Harbinger of Death

Now in My Bookbag: The Lie Tree, by Frances Hardinge

I was given an advance copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
What a phenomenal work! Books this exceptional are far too rare. Author Frances Hardinge has a special gift for prose.
Setting descriptions breathe life into Vane Island, from Faith’s first assessment of her new home, until the story’s last syllables are written. The characters are splendid in their complexity. This book is well thought out,  and so well written.
Hardinge outlines the mindset of the scientific naturalist, as well as the thinking of those more devoutly religious. The elegance of this story however, is its success in coloring all of the grey areas between the two. The Lie Tree is suspense and mystery, sins and absolution, self-righteousness and self-recremination.
This book is a fantastic find, one which I hope to share with as many discerning readers as possible. 5 stars

Now in My Bookbag: Reading Up a Storm, by Eva Gates

I was given an advance copy of this book by the publisher, in exchange for an honest review. Expected release date: April 5th, 2016


I really enjoyed this book. It is the third book in the Lighthouse Library Mystery Series. It is a lighthearted murder mystery that is a cross between Nancy Drew, and Murder She Wrote. I like the characters, the setting, and the idea that a library could exist within a venerable old lighthouse. I truly love Charles, the cat, who seems to be imbued with knowledge and powers beyond the scope of a normal cat. I applaud author Eva Gates for supporting the concept of a public library system, and for her emphasis on engaging younger generations in the love of reading. Despite a couple of holes in the logic process of the story, I find the book charming. 4 stars

Now in My Bookbag: Perfekt Control, by S. T. Bende

I liked this book. It definitely had a different feel than book one of The Ære Saga, Perfekt Order. While written with the same basic cast of characters, this story contained much more high fantasy. It was told from the perspective of Brynn, the Valkyrie and bodyguard for the God of War. However, the Brynn in this book seemed like a completely different character than the Brynn from book one. I found that a little confusing.
Author S. T. Bende made this story so much more fantastical than book one. Brynn and Henrik visited many of the nine realms of Norse Mythology while on a very important mission. The story included giants, dwarves, and dragons. It wasn’t really what I expected, and I wasn’t quite as involved with this story as I was with the story in book one. I did, however, find this book entertaining and enjoyable. 4 stars
