Book Summary: 

Paladins are nothing but trouble. Stories about paladins are everywhere, noble warriors riding magic steeds into battle against terrible foes. Champions of their gods. Heroes to everyone, except those who already have everything. Paladins are notorious for upsetting the balance of power, to the detriment of any who don’t worship their deity.

So when Krell is called to service by the capricious god of the seas and skies, ReckNor, those with wealth and power can’t help but be concerned. ReckNor hasn’t called a paladin in years, and his nature is ever-changing and erratic. The fact that Krell is also an uneducated nobody with a stubborn streak as wide as the sea turns their concerns into fear.

All of which matters less than the threat clawing its way from the waves, ready to turn the ocean red with spilled blood…

Book Summary:

Gathering of the Four (Book 1)

“In the Realm, every citizen knows their place.”

Leora of Mae is a young woman orphaned at birth and raised on a remote farm. As a wielder of Xanthcraft, her abilities set her apart from her adoptive family and the other villagers.

Shortly before her twentieth birthday, she learns of her family’s plot to sell her into servitude. Fearing for her life, she flees from the only home she’s ever known—defying societal conventions and breaking the edicts of the Realm.

As she runs, Leora meets Roland Shallowbrook, a traveler on the Thieves’ Road; Lady Aurora Verte, daughter of a powerful member of the gentry; and the White Rider Leopold, a soldier with a secret.

Together, this found family will have to band together to survive.

Set in the distant future during the return of the Hale-Bopp comet, Gathering of the Four is the first book in the Serrulata Saga.

Test of The Four (Book 2)

“Outside of the Realm, everything is unknown.”

Having paid a high price to pass through the Border, the Four depart the only lands they’ve ever known. They’re faced with immediate problems and unknown dangers as they begin the perilous journey toward the fabled city of New York.

As they travel, Leora struggles to hone her powers, Roland and Aurora attempt to explore their new romantic relationship, and Leopold battles with his inner demons.

Meanwhile, all is not right within the Realm. The young sovereign continues to wield his new powers erratically, threatening the lives of every citizen. Now, several members of the gentry must navigate through the chaos to protect their homes and families.

Can the Four survive their journey? And if they do, will there be a Realm for them to return to?

My Review:

Rating: 5 out of 5.

One of the most common things with sequels is that it just doesn’t stand up to the first book. At least that’s the case with me. When I dub a series a favorite it’s because the sequels patch as much of or more of a punch than the first one did. I can honestly say that with this book. I also loved seeing more of everybody’s points of view in this one. it really helped the story so much. I can’t wait to see the rest of the series and how it goes. This series is on my auto-buy no questions list. If I’m being honest, the author most likely is too.

Heaven isn’t the dream. It’s the nightmare stalking your every move.


Delilah ‘Dee’ Brewer lived her life in the shadow of her sister. As one-half of the famous identical Brewer twins, she was dubbed the Defective Spare. A title bestowed upon her due to circumstances beyond her control.

When she dared to reach for more, it was ripped away from her in the blink of an eye, sending her back into the shadows — existing on the cusp of death.

Until she met him.

Harris Brinkmann. A man who slowly brings Delilah back into the light. A man who, like her, harbors dangerous secrets. A man with an unhealthy, borderline stalkerish obsession with her — and he’s not the only one.

Because he already has a partner, Marc Sotelo, who quickly comes to share Harris’s fascination with her.

They see her. The real her. The version of her that exists outside of shadows. What’s even more baffling is they both want her — all of her.

Together, they are everything they have each ever wanted but shouldn’t have. Together, they feel like heaven — but they all know the truth. Heaven is a cruel mistress that rips pieces from your soul, a waking nightmare that clings to you like a shadow.

Together, they are a special brand of damaged.

And they all know there can’t be a future for them. There will be no happily ever after. There is only the now.

Or is there…?


Note: This book can be read as a STANDALONE in the Sin and Sinuosity series.

Boss (Dick) Cover Reveal

 ★✩★ COVER REVEAL ★✩★

BOSS (DICK)

By JESSIKA KLIDE

Genre: Contemporary Romance | Billionaire Romance | Rom-Com

Release Date: March 31

Hosted by DS Book Promotions




Pre Order

Amazon | Kobo | Apple | Nook 



BLURB:

The Job Description: 

Immediate opening for a personal assistant to an eccentric self-made billionaire mogul. Your superlative salary, plus a substantial signing bonus, is subjective after a quantitative probationary period and based on your qualitative ability to thrive under pressure applied by the lean-mean-aggressive-machine, BOSS DICK. 

Apply ONLY if you’re tough-as-nails with THICK skin! 


My Application: 

My name is Sam “Fearless” Mathieson. I’m not afraid of BOSS DICK or the boss’s dick. I eat nails for breakfast and wear Kevlar under my suit. I’m OCD. Organization is my bitch! Immediate opening? I can start in ten minutes. Put up or shut up. 


The Offer: 

“You’re hired. Penthouse floor. You have nine minutes and counting….” Shoes in hand with my track coach’s voice echoing in my ear about form and stride, I sprint down the block, hit the rotating door, rush into the elevator and cuss the whole time it soars to the top while learning that Precious Kitty Publishing doesn’t publish books about cuddly, cute, kittens. They specialize in “soft-touch-feel-good” romance books. 


Translation: 

Mommy porn on steroids. But I need this job like I need air. I’m broke, but not broken. I refuse to quit on my dream. I made a promise, and I won’t break it. I’ll die first. With twenty seconds to spare, the elevator dings, the doors open, and I sprint down the hallway, past the startled male receptionist standing behind his desk, gawking, to the door at the end of the corridor that says, Sebastian King, CEO. Not wanting to miss my deadline, I turn the knob, throw open the door, and crash, just as my phone timer blasts BLACKPINK – ‘How You Like That.’ The man behind the desk looks up from his laptop, shocked, then amused, then angry when the receptionist I passed follows me in like a puppy with his tail between his legs and declares, “Mr. King, this is my replacement. Sam Mathieson.” Then he turns around and runs away. 


BOSS DICK’s first words to me are, “You’re not a man. Get out!” To which I replied, kneeling on all fours like a dog, barking his kitty up a lawsuit tree. “Make me!” Famous last words, I’m afraid. Because every day since, he has done exactly that. Tried to make me quit. To give up. To go home. But I won’t. I need this job, but worse than that, now, I need this gigantic man in my life. I’m not talking only about the size of his ego, either. But the size of his sausage! Dear Lord, both are epic! One I want to stab, and the other I want to smother. But both are beautifully addictive! But back to my grand entrance recounting, how did BOSS DICK respond to my refusal to comply with his demand that I back out of his office, race the coward back to the elevator, and kiss my dream job goodbye just because I’m not a man? And I quote: “Then grab a condom for your heart, honey. I’m going to f*ck your feelings.”

Mysterious Aisles Blog Tour And Review

Mysterious Aisles

by BG Hilton

Black Phoenix Book Tours

January 20-23

Axel Platzoff did not work at the Handy Pavilion by choice...

Stacking shelves seemed beneath the former supervillain who had come close to world domination so many times. But as part of his plea deal with the Hague, he had to work somewhere, so he worked at the big-box hardware store in the sleepy Australian suburb of South Hertling. Fortunately, he was not the only eccentric employee of the place. Pavilion workers included dryads, time-traveling cyborgs, water-witches, ape-men, cowboys, demigods, angels, demons, mad scientists and animate garden gnomes.

Gradually Axel came to feel at home, until tragedy struck. The construction of a rival hardware store, just across Hurley Road threatened his living and his new friends. Axel had no choice but to to take the fight to his enemies, the only way he knew how. But is the DIY Barn really nothing but a rival hardware store? Or will it’s sinister secret destroy the Handy Pavilion and seriously inconvenience the people of South Hertling?

An engaging mix of urban fantasy and workplace comedy.

See the book on Amazon here.

About BG Hilton

He specialises in Specilative Fiction, Humour and Non-Fiction. He works in the education sector these days, which would probably surprise any of his teachers. His debut novel — the Steampunk adventure ‘Champagne Charlie and the Amazing Gladys’ was published by Odyssey Books in early 2020.

Review:

Story: This was a really quirky book. I found myself laughing many times. I have to be honest, I kind of wish that I had some talent in the narration department. I’d totally volunteer to narrate this novel. It’s showcases the dreads of working retail with a supernatural twist. I’d love to see this book be turned into a cartoon. Probably one more geared to teens and adults, but still. I’d watch every episode.

Characters: There were too many of them to keep up with names. I really enjoyed all of them. They were all strange and very quirky.

Critiques: None

Final Thoughts: I’m not sure if this is going to be a series or not. I want to say it is, but I just can’t be sure. If it is, I will definitely be grabbing the rest of the series. I’ll probably reread this a few times. Especially when I’m feeling down and need a good laugh. There are some potentially offensive jokes displayed in the book. I wouldn’t recommend it for anybody who are more sensitive to jokes.

The Green Panthers

by Tom Vater

Black Phoenix Book Tours

January 20-23

Meet Clara Green, Emerald, Chartreuse, Olive, Hunter, Juniper and Forest. They are The Green Panthers: a privately sponsored, multi-national underground army, on a mission to hold corporate polluters to account.

During the attempted rescue of a snow leopard hunted by British tycoons in Siberia, the Green Panthers stumble onto Project SILEO, a millionaires’ plot to abandon an overpopulated, dying planet battered by climate change and pollution.

But SILEO is a lot more than it seems and the Panthers soon learn of an even greater threat to humanity. From Britain to Thailand and the privately-owned space station Stella Blue, the Panthers race against time to save the human race from a man known only as the Slow King. As riots and unrest take hold all over the world, can they stop the Slow King’s apocalyptic ambitions?

An action-packed dystopian thriller, The Green Panthers explores systemic corruption, capitalism, space exploration and climate change, as well as the nature of friendship and courage in a future world where everything is for sale.

— Everett —

I loved her when she was just a splattering of freckles and big brown eyes.

When she brought an extra sugar cookie just for me in the first grade.

When our class goldfish died and she held me in front of everyone until I stopped crying.

I loved her even more when she had another man’s baby.

But I hate her for what she did, a chess move in a game of unforgivable sin. I hate myself even more for what I’m going to do to her. I wanted her gone, but I was the one who left. Now, I’ve returned, and I have no intention of leaving again.

This is my campus, and it’s time to pay for your sins, little mouse, because I am a vicious king.


— Molly —

I loved him the first day I met him on the playground, when he was all gangly elbows and knees.

When we buried our toes in the sandbox and pretended we didn’t have legs.

On our first day of middle school when he smiled at me across the quad.

He was my white knight, my protector, the one who always made sure I was okay.

But that boy’s dead and gone, and I killed him.

I can’t undo what happened.

I never meant to hurt him. I never meant to hurt anyone.

I was the nudge that toppled the dominos.
