​Only the Rourkes can take something as serious as a hostile takeover of Carnage Crossing and make it macabre yet beautiful, deadly yet humorous, loveless yet romantic ALL at the same time. Bravo on another amazing series!

I'm a huge fan of Melanie's work.  With her new Blood & Magic Series, she takes her edgy clean brand a bit edgier and a lot steamier.  Melanie is bringing the heat with bad boy Gabe and his sultry huntress Lennon. Be still my heart! This series is comprised of three action pack novellas, each hotter than the one before. No worries though, while Gilbert's writing is saucier and darker, she still sticks to your clean brand.  You can read the series for FREE in KU or snag yourself the complete season one in a paperback.

Even the villain will do the right thing…for the wrong reason.

Vampires are driven by blood, and Gabriel Zach is no exception. In over one hundred years, he’s never smelled anything as divine and exquisite as the blood of vampire hunter, Lennon Stewart. And he’s never met anyone who drives his lust through the roof quite like her.

But Gabe isn’t the only monster who’s attracted to Lennon’s scent. An attack by a mysterious monster leaves the hunter in the arms of her worst enemy: Gabriel, the vampire stalking her. If he’s not strong enough, he’ll devour her before he’s ready.

Lennon’s job is to kill monsters, but Gabe’s job is to keep her alive, if only for selfish purposes. At the end of the day, will both make it to sunrise alive? ​

Once you choose, there’s no going back.

Gabriel Zach’s villainous past comes back to bite him with the arrival of a hunter intent on dusting him. Fearful for his life, Gabe makes a hard decision: stay home. But seclusion means no blood, no women, and no Lennon Stewart.

Gabe’s world deteriorates further when Lennon shows up on his front doorstep, covered in blood. With Berkley Stewart on board, Gabe and Easton begin to hunt down the monster responsible. Only, once bitten, there’s no changing fate.

Lennon is dying and the clock is ticking. Will magic be enough to save her or will Gabe need to drink his favorite hunter dry to save the huntress from a fate worse than death?

For fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Vampire Diaries, and K.F. Breene. ​

Vampire retirement is a thing, right?

Lennon’s in need of help and Gabe’s the only one who can offer it. However, it comes with a price, a price Lennon will pay to help avenge a hunter’s death. But when they find out what murdered the hunter, even Gabe has the good sense to be scared.

As if a hunter-killing monster on the loose wasn’t bad enough, Gabe’s past is being revealed one piece at a time. Even Lennon can’t help but see the real man behind the arrogance. If Gabe can’t keep the walls up that he’s built around his memories, he could lose every relationship he’s built.

Protective roles have switched and Gabe’s not sure if anyone has his back. Still, one thing remains the same: hunters want Gabe dusted.

For fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Vampire Diaries, and K.F. Breene. ​

Join me tonight at 7:30PM ET on 2 Girls & A Book for a bookish chat with Melanie Gilbert & Heather Karn. Their book, Dark of Night releases September 29th. One looking participant from tonight's show will win a ARC!

​Henley Stark is no angel, but she is a survivor.
Disowned by her witch coven as a teenager, Henley was driven to Amos, a vampire loan shark. There’s little Henley hasn’t done to keep a roof over her head and food in her stomach as Amos trained her for his purposes. It all comes to a head when Amos assigns Henley and Alex, her newly found mate, to a job that can only lead to death.
Going up against the greatest threat the vampires have ever known, it’s clear one or both of them will not survive the encounter. However, as Alex begins to soften toward her, Henley must decide if giving them a chance is worth the effort, especially when she’ll likely be dead soon anyway.
Can Henley find her worth and true love before the mission ultimately claims her life?
For readers who enjoy books by K.F. Breene, Heather Hildebrand, Jaymin Eve, and Karen Lynch.

​An action packed, edge of your seat, twist you don't see coming, paranormal romance from the dynamic duo of Gilbert and Karn! I can't wait for more!

I am looking forward to my interview tonight with the stunning Vanessa Burton. I have some serious hair envy goin on over here!  Join us tonight at 7:30 PM ET on the 2 Girls & A Book facebook page. There will be an open Q&A with Vanessa at the end.

If you follow my page I have been gushing about the Heartmender Series for the last 2 months. I even posted a TikTok video about it. You can find it at  @lynn_2girlsandabook.  Cammie Larsen, with Monster Ivy Publishing, designed all 3 amazing covers and as you read each book you will then see then amazing symbolism in each cover.

Let's dive in and talk about the books!

​In the land of Barracks, the economy thrives on the barter of their citizens' most precious commodity—a human heart. Each year, the Heart Reign festival is thrown for those who have become of age to trade their hearts for their deepest desires. And this year is Adelaide Tye's year to trade.

After despising Heart Reign for years, Addie endures her Extraction and discovers that her heart isn’t gray and dying, like all other hearts in Barracks, but bright red, alive, and teeming with power.

With a warning from the extractor of hearts, Addie rushes through Heart Reign to make her choice—trade her heart to Schism, the monster who took her brother years before, or go in search of the Mender—a mythical man said to purify hearts and save her own heart. Either decision will rip her away from the one man who has always been by her side.

Knowing there is only one real choice to make, Addie jumps through Schism’s red door and is thrust into a dark and dangerous realm where she is faced with making a trade she may not survive.

For fans of Stephanie Garber's Caraval and ABC's Once Upon a Time.

​Heartmender has been sitting on my shelf for over a year. I was drawn to this book because of the cover. It’s beautiful and I needed it on my shelf. So there it sat looking all pretty and decorative but really had no other purpose. Then book 2 came out with an equally stunning cover. I had to own the series. My collection could not be incomplete, so I ordered the second book and placed it on my shelf. Prior to the third and final book releasing, a friend recommended I read the series. Easily swayed by this friend’s excellent taste in fiction, I dived into book 1, Heartmender.

Y’all… why didn’t more people tell me how great this book was? I was hooked from page 1. The characters were so detailed and alive. The story was well paced and intriguing. I loved how Ophidian’s challenges followed the seven deadly sins. Great tie in! If he offered me a lazy room filled with books and a comfy bed, Ophidian would have had me. The MC, Adelaide, was selfless, loving, caring, and smart. I couldn’t help but cheer her on through the seven doors.

I loved the way the author took religion and weaved it into a fantasy novel. The story was beautifully written. I can’t wait to continue the series.

​Heartrender... more like epic battle, white knuckle, edge of your seat, remember to breathe, greatness!

I like that the author included multiple POVs but I found myself reading multiple chapters in one POV due to the jaw-dropping cliffhangers. I skipped around a lot but it all made sense.

Burton has fantastic world building skills. I felt like I was in the story experience it all from the first book. I cannot wait to see what adventure Burton has in store next. for her readers

​V. Romas Burton grew up bouncing up and down the East Coast where she wrote her first story about magical ponies at age seven. Years later, after studying government and earning an M.A. in Theological Studies, V. Romas Burton realized something even bigger was calling out to her--stories that contained great adventures and encouraging messages. Her debut novel, Heartmender, has won several awards including: First Place in Young Adult for the 2020 Next Generation Indie Book Awards, Second Place in Juvenile/ Young Adult for the 2021 Illumination Book Awards and tied for Third Place for Young Adult Fiction- Fantasy/ Sci- Fi in the 2020 Moonbeam Children's Awards.

If bad a**  female leads, sassy, nerdy sidekicks, hot hellhounds, and sultry fae are your thing then look no further than this fast paced, exhilarating fantasy series from Becca Vincenza. The completed series is available for free in Kindle Unlimited. 

The Heartmender Trilogy from V Romas Burton will easily go down as one of my favorite series of 2021.  Vanessa detail to world building, engaging characters, a thrilling storyline helped me to quickly devour the 3 book series in no time.
Vanessa will be my guest next Thursday (August 19th). I am looking forward to discussing this series and her new book coming out next Fall with Monster Ivy Publishing.

I am still trying to wrap my head around this next book. I received an ARC of That Pale Host by LG McCary from Monster Ivy. Going in I thought it would be a ghost story but what I got was so much more. I read this book in a day and when I finally closed the book I was left feeling gobsmacked. That Pale Host is a  haunting tale of postpartum depression, abuse, sacrifice, and love. The raw emotions invoked by McCary were tangible. The fear, palpable.

The story was a slow build but I couldn't put the book down once I started. Even though I am not a mother, the MC, Charolotte, resonated with me. Her feelings left from the pages.

The book releases on October 5th, but you can find out more about the story and preorder your copy at monsterivy.com.

I started the Faltering Souls series by Haven Cage last year. While it is only a trilogy, I kept getting side track by other projects. I did the complete series from Audible. Since I stared working from home in March of 2020 I find it harder to focus on audiobooks where as before I was in the car two hours a day. Any hoo, book 1, Falter is my fave in the series. Book 2 is dark, sultry, and twisted. The final book was all about ripping my heart out as the final stand between good and evil transpired. This series is not for the faint of heart. It talks about religion and spirituality, but it is not Christian fiction. There is bad language, sex, lust, all the dirty little sins. But I told tell you that to turn you away from the series, This trilogy also deals with love, sacrifice, and faith. You see the best and the worst in people and the trials that made them the ay they are. I love  the series. The gritty darkness, the trials, and the love. And a side note to the author... I'm Team Archer so I am not sure how I feel about that ending. 

Now this next tid bit of info I have for you must be kept on the down low! Stacey Rourke is releasing Rotting Reign early!!!!  In fact, if you head over to Amazon right now, it's available! I am diving into my copy tonight and honestly I am a bit afraid. The early reviews say Rotting Reign has one heck of an ending. I love Rourke's quirky style in the first book, Corpse Queen, and I can't wait to get back to Carnage Crossing. This series is available in Kindle Unlimited.

I had a blast with chatting with Kristiana Sfirlea last week. Here's a link to that show in case in you missed it.

My guest tonight is the amazingly talented Kristiana Sfirlea. Be sure to join us on the blog's Facebook page at 7:30 eastern for an open Q&A with the author.

Sometimes the end of the rainbow...is the belly of a beast.

When the Blackouts' search for the legendary Wishing Mist leads them to a maple syrup festival in the town of Mapleton, sticky situations abound. Bodies are going missing from the local funeral parlor, hellhound gypsies prowl the woods, giant, automaton teddy bears may or may not be staging a hostile takeover, and there's a whopping good chance that will-o'-the-wisps, the magical inhabitants of the Wishing Mist, are behind it all.
Even with help from their future selves and a time traveling diary, Rose and Marek have their hands full (and not just with ice cream cones from a parlor that services the living as well as the dead). The will-o'-the-wisps were responsible for bringing them together five years ago, and now it looks like the only way to stop their mischief is to find the Wishing Mist and wish it out of existence--will-o'-the-wisps included.
Some thank-you for the greatest friendship in the multiverse, huh?

​Legend Seeker. Part-time Ghost Hunter. Time Traveler.

Thirteen-year-old Rose Skylar sneezed a magical storm cloud at birth, and it’s followed her around ever since. But when Stormy causes one too many public disasters, Rose is taken to Heartstone, an asylum for unstable magic. Its location? The heart of a haunted forest whose trees have mysteriously turned to stone.

They say the ghosts are bound to the woods … then why does Rose see them drifting outside the windows at night? And why is there a graveyard on the grounds filled with empty graves? Guided by her future selves via time traveling letters, Rose and Marek—best friend and potential figment of her imagination—must solve the mystery of the specters and the stone trees before the ghosts unleash a legendary enemy that will make their own spooks look like a couple of holey bed sheets and destroy Heartstone Asylum.

Letters from the future are piling up. Rose can’t save Heartstone herself. However, five of herselves, a magical storm cloud, and a guardian angel who might very well be imaginary? Now that’s a silver lining.

But will they find what killed the ghosts before what killed the ghosts finds them?

BOOK 1
Kristiana Sfirlea knocked it out of the park with her debut novel Legend of the Storm Sneezer. This story marries multiple genres into one brilliant story with time travel, ghosts, angels, and so much more. The MC, Rose, stole my heart. I cheered her on from page one.

Sfirlea did such an outstanding job with book one that I cannot wait to see what she does in the next installment.

BOOK 2
​Once again Kristiana Sfirlea has hit a home run. She has a talent for weaving a complex, magical, and somewhat horrifying tale of granny snatchers and killer teddy bears. Yeah, you read that right! I'm feeling relieved that at my age most of my stuffed animals are packed in a tote in the closet. Save for a few precious ones on my bookshelves, but they would never... Would they? I digress. 

I love that while LOTRE is a fun, adventurous, and wild ride, at the heart of it this story is about family (not just the blood ones), friends, and faith. This is the perfect series to read with your kids but is enjoyable enough for adults too.  I seriously want to visit Mapleton and eat rigor mortis cream at the Two Parlors. Maybe minus the Scare Bears though. 

If you love magic, time travel, all sorts of wild creatures, and unique characters then LOTRE is the book (the series) for you!
​

We are traveling back to Carnage Crossing in Book 2, Rotting Reign from Stacey Rourke. Book 2 releases on August 17 and I happen to have a ARC so I will have an early review for you guys soon. 


​The queen on her throne, the veil sealed tight.
For a moment, all in Carnage Crossing seemed right.

Magnificent galas. The waltzing dead.
A town of corpses happy in their homestead.

But darkness crept in, drawn by venom and spite,
Corrupting the island for its twisted delight.

A plague of decay sweeps over the land,
Reducing its victims to grains of sand.

To protect her people, the Corpse Queen must rise,
And gather what’s left of her crumbling allies.

Can the queen save them all from their grisly plight?
Or will she be hunted when her past comes to light?

The final installment in The Sidekick Chronicles is here!  I am stoked to announce that Becca will be here LIVE on August 26 to chat with us about her urban fantasy series and what's next for her.

If you love kickass heroines this is the series for you! I am currently reading the final book and loving it.

Kristiana will be my #FangirlThursday guest on August 5th. I interviewed her last year and it was my highest rated show ever! No pressure this time, Kristiana!

I devoured Vanessa's Heartmender Trilogy this month. Her world building skills are almost as fantastic as Eric Asher's. (And you guys know how I feel about Eric!) The prose and imaginary in this trilogy weave together to create a thrilling story of sacrifice, love, and faith. 

The final book, Heartrender releases September 7th.

​Kristiana Sfirlea is a writer of MG fantasy involving time travel and things that go bump in the night. Her debut novel LEGEND OF THE STORM SNEEZER received the 5-Star seal from Readers' Favorite and released May 5th, 2020 from Monster Ivy Publishing.

As an author, Kristiana knows what it means to get in character. She spent five years volunteering as a historical reenactor and trying her best not to catch her skirts on fire as a colonial girl from the 1700s (leading cause of death at the time next to childbirth). Working at a haunted house attraction, she played a jumping werewolf statue, a goblin in a two-way mirror, and a wall-scratcher -- so if she's standing very still, growling, checking her reflection, or filing her nails on your wall, be alarmed. Those are hard habits to break.

A proud homeschool graduate, Kristiana credits much of her development as a writer to her schooling experience, which also helped her combat a learning disability, dyslexia, and clear the path for her love of reading. Inspired by a local oddity, the Sweetreads Bookmobile, Kristiana dreams of the day she can run her own mobile bookstore. Or haunted house attraction. Or both. Look out, world -- here comes a haunted bookmobile! (And this is precisely why writers should never become Uber drivers.) She loves Jesus, her family, and imaginary life with her characters.

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!

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.

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. 

​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.

Seeing isn’t always believing.

Trapped by her past trauma, Macy McCall worked with a variety of therapists and medications- most yielding minimal results. Her newest doctor, Daniel Yates, helps bring forth her biggest breakthroughs and she believes she can see the light at the end of a very dark and scary tunnel. With a boyfriend and a good job, she enjoys her blooming independence. Then she sees her. The woman that looks exactly like her.

This mirror image plagues her life in a way that she would never have expected. And when it all unravels, she won’t be the only one left wondering what is real and what is imagined. ​

​Since childhood, best-selling and award-winning author Amy Hale has been using the written word to inspire, encourage, and entertain. She loves creating characters and worlds from nothing but her imagination and a few glasses of wine. Her popular paranormal series The Shadows Trilogy has earned multiple awards, as have the Havenwood Falls books, of which she is a participating author. She's also a participating author in the Feisty Heroines anthology which became a #1 New Release and Bestseller on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Nook shortly after its release.
She debuted her first fiction novel in 2015 after retiring from 13 years of non-fiction writing for various online entities. For the last couple of decades, she’s also carried the titles of Laundry Goddess, Chef, Butt Wiper, Soother of Temper Tantrums, and in more recent years, Moderator of Sarcastic Eye-rolls and Sass. She resides in Illinois with her husband and two grown children who claim they are never moving out. Regardless, they are the center of her universe, although her cat believes otherwise.
If she had any spare time, she’d love music, photography, watching Mystery Science Theater 3000 with her family, and long rides on the back of her husband’s motorcycle.
