Blurb:
Where Skies Fall is the scorching sequel of Where Oceans Burn and the final book of this epic, enemies-to-lovers romance set in a world where the people of the sea constantly battles those of the sky and a couple who might change the tide for both kingdoms â€“ if they can survive long enough.

With these three tenets, we will live. With these three, we will fight.

Bravery. Breath. Brine.

Neera, Goddess of the Sky, claims the war will end in the place where oceans burn. God of the Sea, Talay, believes it to be in the place where skies fall. Yet battles unlike any our people have fought before still wait to be waged. Like it or not, Crest and I find ourselves caught in the middle.

He is The Shark, leader of the Guardians of the ocean. Sworn to protect everything in the salty sea below, his people stake claim to the Isle of Kehlani. As The Scourge of the Sky, I was once his mortal enemy. But he and his people took me in and showed me Iâ€™m worth more than the power surging through my veins. For the first time, I feel the sky might not be where I belong.

The great goddess Neeraâ€™s scale has tipped out of my favor. Now, losing the feathers in my wings is the least of my worries. It will take every ounce of my cunning and skills to rip myself from the grip of a cruel goddess who would see me cowed and caged. Talay has claimed me for his own, and for that, I am grateful. When the sky descends, thirsty for blood, I will fight. For those I love. For the life I crave. And for himâ€¦ For him, I will sink the kingdom of the sky. I will drag Empyrean into the depths and delight in watching it drown.

Review of Hauntings & Havoc by Stacey Rourke

10/25/2022

1 Comment

Haunted by the past, hungry for revenge,
Malaria Cain is slowly coming unhinged.
Luring her father out of hiding is her lone goal,
even if the cost is her eternal soul.
Yet darkness stirs at Crane’s Roost Inn,
causing Malaria’s sanity to grow quite thin.
A malevolent entity seeks to block her escape,
preventing her return home from taking shape.
Will her need for vengeance be her downfall?
Or will she break the Crane family curse once and for all?

My Review

Revenge at its Finest

Hauntings & Havoc is a macabre revenge filled ending to Malaria Crane's story.

For me, this installment had Nightmare on Elm Street meets The Shinig vibes. Wait, hear me out. There is a scene where Malaria falls through the hotel and into the boiler room. The room is a steam filled nightmare as the boilers turn on and she is confronted by the Dark Lady. With the clicks of her nails, I waited with bated breath for Freddy to pop up and slide his knives down a metal railing. It could have been the Elm Street marathon I had before reading this book. And hello, haunted hotel where the guests never leave. Be still my goulish heart!

Malaria Crane is a total bad a$$ and witnessing her unleash on her father was poetic justice. Bravo Rourkes!

in case you haven't heard Square bought Weebly. it was a nightmare accessing my website after the conversion. This is a test to make sure my posts go active and you guys can see them. Here goes!

I swear I have not abandoned you guys. My life has been total chaos for a year now. Recap...

My mother in law moved in with us in October 2021. She broke her ankle in November 2021. Y'all, it was a nightmare! She went to a rehab facility where she was suppose to be exercising etc. The nurses doped her up on pain killers and xanax. She would have died if we had left here there. Fast forward, we brought her home, completed therapy in June. I guess the right foot was jealous cause she broke in the end of July. Thankfully we had a much better experience this time around. My MIL is doing well, healing nicely, and doing in home therapy.

With all this going on, I abandoned my passion. I haven't been reading much and there hasn't been an original blog post in quite a while. My hope, my prayer, is that I'll be kicking off a new look and lots of posts in 2023. I need to focus on my MIL's recovery for the time being.

I miss my book community. I miss you guys so much. I want to be reading and sharing my passion for books with you. Please pray for my family. Pray I get my reading mojo back, lol. I need it.

Until next time my lovelies!

Title: Revival: An ABCs of Love Novel
Author: Teri Kay
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Cover Designer: Cover Lovin' Designs
Editor: Russo's Editing Services
Publication Date: August 4^th, 2022
Hosted by: Lady Amber's PR

Blurb:

"The ABCs have never been sexier..."

Life was a set of well-laid plans for Andrea Raffield. She married her high school sweetheart, raised their twins, and planned to grow old with the love of her life. But now, with an empty nest and a divorce she never saw coming, sheâ€™s alone for the first time in her life. When the opportunity presents itself to purchase an RV and travel the country, Andrea throws caution to the wind and takes a chance on herself. But is it really possible to start over at forty?

Daniel â€œRomeâ€ Abrams was on his way to building his tattoo empire. Fresh off of a win from Tattoo Genius, Americaâ€™s top tattoo competition show, Rome had the ink world in the palm of his hands; money, fame, and success were his for the taking. But when a tragedy turns Romeâ€™s dreams into his darkest nightmares, heâ€™s left with nothing but the broken pieces of his tattoo shopâ€”and the life heâ€™d been building.

When a chance meeting brings these two together, Andrea and Rome do everything they can to fight the attraction. But two souls searching for revival are hard to ignore, and their broken pieces will either fit together perfectlyâ€”or shatter them both completely.

**Revival is a complete stand-alone in the ABCs of Love series where each author delivers a brand-new story for you to rediscover your ABCs.

NOW LIVE!

I am an obsessive romance reader turned writer. An amazing group of indie writers have inspired and encouraged me to pursue this crazy dream and now I canâ€™t imagine stopping. Born and raised, I have always lived in Southern California. I am happily married, with two small fur babies. I love my job as a teacher and wouldnâ€™t want to do anything else. Except maybe be a full-time writer. Between reading, writing, and teaching, I have little free time. But in those rare moments, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, binge-watching reality television and baking.

My stories dip into the pools of various troupes. I write contemporary romance with second chances, rockstars and single parents. My characters are beautifully flawed wrapped in a wonderous romance.

It's hard enough being an undergraduate student, an intern at Downtown Manhattan's police station, and a bouncer at a local bar. Add her now ex-boyfriend who recently dumped her for the school's resident bimboâ€”oh, and she's a werewolf.

Mackenzie Grey meets her match when she is kidnapped by the Brooklyn Pack and tossed between Sebastian and Jonahâ€”the Alpha and the Beta. Being a lone-wolf in the city is dangerous, and now that the Pack has found her, so can every supernatural being in the Tri-State area. And not even her sarcastic, smart mouth can get her out of this.

When a string of kidnappings involves Mackenzie in supernatural politics, she questions her new acquaintances and finds unlikely allies. Can she escape Pack law and keep her freedomâ€”or will she be condemned to an unwanted path?
