Julie’s Review: I really enjoyed the Cassie Scot series and was happy to devour it as part of the author’s promotional tours. So I jumped when given the opportunity to review this audiobook spin-off novel with a side character in the original series. While the original series is a 4-star read for me, this spin-off […]

Lynn’s Review: I was pleasantly surprised by Brotherhood of the Blade. Granted, my expectations weren’t very high, but still, I enjoyed it. I was never a huge fan of Grey in the [easyazon_link identifier=”B00O3HCMV6″ locale=”US” tag=”chapbrea05-20″]Outlander[/easyazon_link] books. I never found him very interesting. When he “married” Claire at the end of Echo (or was […]
Guest Post: Hal Levey’s Path to Publication Every self-publisher can recall how his/her first book was born. This is my story. “Under the Pong Pong Tree” is a historical novel dealing with the Japanese atrocities committed against the Chinese residents of Singapore during World War II. The book was incubated several years ago during a […]

This book kept up the intrigue, saved its secrets until the end, and let’s not forget to mention hot guy yummyness. Raine is becoming quite the heroine and we are finding out […]
