Elizabeth Kirke has been very busy. First, she started a Read-A Long of her Rise of the Arcanist Series on Discord. From that she decided to revamp the More Than Magic series to include the Arcanist Series as well. What does that mean for readers? With the merging of the two series,  More Than Magic now includes all NINE BOOKS!

It's not too late to join the fun at Discord. They are chatting all about the books and Elizabeth is sprinkling in a few secrets as well.

Twenty years ago, Rose and her two best friends cast a love spell that went horribly awry. Not that Rose ever paid that much mind. Focused on her career, she has dreamed of owning her own apothecary since she was just a little witch.

Unfortunately, as she nears forty, that goal is farther away than ever. Not only is she stuck in a dead end job, lately she feels she’s moments from getting fired. On more than one occasion she has caught her new boss, Bay, snooping around the shop and fears he’s looking for any excuse to let her go.

She thought evoking one little spell couldn’t hurt.
She couldn’t have been more wrong.

Poor choice of wording in the incantation tethers Rose and Bay to disastrous consequences. Will the result blend the perfect potion for romance? Or will it be enough to crush Rose’s career and her love life?

thor Eric Asher is responsible for my love of audiobooks. I rarely read any of his books because I prefer the audiobook. Eric picks the best narrators for his stories. Steampunk novels have never been my thing, but with fantastic I devoured his Steamborn Trilogy. I am excited to tell you guys that there is a fourth book and audiobook coming soon. Check out this cover for Skyborn. Audio is in production and you can preorder the book on Amazon.
Check out the entire series...  
A supernatural swarm. A treacherous scheme. A tinker's apprentice may be the village's only hope.

I'm a huge fan of Carolyn Ridder Aspenson. I can't get enough of her new dark crime thriller series. the Rachel Ryder series. Book 2, Hunted Girl releases June 1st. Book3, Overkill is already up for preorder on Amazon. Carolyn is giving away ebooks and audiobooks of book 1 , Damaging Secrets all month long. It isn't too late to enter.  Look for the Wednesday contest posts  on her Facebook & Instagram.

HUNTED GIRL
Rachel begins to worry when a seemingly simple overdose investigation uncovers a mysterious set of clues.
Were the clues left as a message?
As bodies begin to accumulate around town, Rachel grows increasingly certain that someone is targeting her. She plows ahead on instinct alone. But emotions cloud her judgment, mistakes pile up, and she puts the lives of others at risk.
Increasingly isolated, Rachel begins to question everything. Has her past finally caught up with her? And is there anything she can do to stop a murderer bent on revenge?

I've been devouring the latest series from Becca Vincenza.  The Sidekick Chronicles are action pack, witty, and loaded with hot men.  Book 3 releases June 1st. 
****
​What does a sidekick do when her hero has sacrificed herself to save me? Well, I am going to plot to get her back, that’s what. But the only problem with that is I got myself into a bit of trouble.


Now I owe a favor to an Incubus who’s a tad sketchy and a lot demanding.
Picture
My mate is overprotective and secretive. I need to be more than the sidekick, but when everyone wants me to stay the sidekick, I have to find my own way.

I will get Olezka and me out of this deal with the Incubus, and I will save my best friend, especially after all the times she saved me.


Reviews....

​If you gotta die, ending up in Carnage Crossing isn't the worse place to be. With a nod to Beetlejuice, Rourke has created a beautiful macabre tale that kept me glued to kindle and wanting more. I could not enough of the delightfully dark and boisterous new world. The world-building and character development were phenomenal. I am always amazed at the unique and fun new places Rourke takes me.

​I am still trying to wrap my head around this story. It wrecked me. If it weren't for bad luck, Roxie DePrive would have no luck at all. They say God doesn't give us more than we can handle. But I don't believe most people could endure 5 failed marriages, heartache after heartache, and the loss Roxie went through. Seriously. I am still shaking my head. At one point my husband held me while I cried and lamented over the constant heartache and loss. I had to read the story in stages, or marriages if you will. I saw the morale of the story but if I were in Roxie's shoes I don't think I would have survived to come on the other side.

Living Water is a beautifully written, morally driven story. Have the tissues handy.

​I love it when an author tries their hand at a new genre. Hale's plunge into adult thrillers with Neurosis is excellent.

Instant hook 👍
Developed characters 👍
Great backstory 👍
Twists 👍👍👍

I found myself wondering if Macy had a doppelganger, an evil twin, or was just seeing things each time something new happened. Hale did a great job keeping the reader guessing with a complete blindside moment in the end. Neurosis is a dark, gritty, psychological thriller that is sure to wow fans.
