#BookBlitz: Tales of a Spiritual Sun by Paul Kiritsis @RABTBookTours
Historical Fiction / Short Stories
Date Published: March 20, 2023
From the Sphinx communicating through a Ouija board to Narcissus's traditional, terrible fate morphing into his first glimmer of hope, Tales of a Spiritual Sun re-writes the Greek myths as never before. The tales of the familiar are tackled, such as the stories of Medusa, King Midas, and Pandora. Yet, Tales of a Spiritual Sun also includes those that are, perhaps, less well known such as Orpheus, Proteus, and Psyche.
All the stories are viewed from new angles or written with modern twists. They take on new lives, with fresh locations and messages at their heart. These include a scientific experiment ready to change the world on the night it is set to end and a personal detective who must decide if a man, claiming his wife is a nymph, is delusional or about to commit an awful crime.
Tales of a Spiritual Sun allows readers to discover ancient myths in a bold and original way, in both contemporary and traditional settings.
#CoverReveal: Spire of Fools by @ireckon @RRBookTours1
Unrestrained and desperate to know more about his mother, Karpenmor closes in on the deceptions his Regent has maintained for decades, unwittingly threatening his own position.
On Dhartan the Jesters are confronted with changes that force radical action from Mother Folly as they try to keep pace. While Lani’s unique skills offer them assistance, a selfish decision by Odajeen puts everything at risk.
More amulets break free from the fragile barrier, causing friction amongst realms and emboldening their enemy. Limited in number, the members of the court must become more than entertainers and hidden spies.
Now hunting the objects that threaten the source of their power, each of them must bring their unique capabilities to the fore in order to avoid the deadly danger confronting them.
In the wake of this shift, even The Eyes can no longer afford to stay hidden on their island, forcing them to send forth more of their kind into the world.

#ReleaseBoost for Educating Arrogant Mr. Hunter by Stephanie Harrell @GiveMeBooksPR
Title: Educating Arrogant Mr. Hunter
A Single Dad, Enemies to Lovers Romance
Series: Curvy Ever After #6
Author: Stephanie Harrell
Genre: Steamy Contemporary Snow White Retelling
Tropes: Single Dad/Enemies to Lovers
Release Date: September 22, 2023
BLURB
Once upon a time, there lived a lovely curvy second-grade teacher who battled the heart of the hunter and won.
My life is spiraling out of control.
I never expected my daughter’s mother to die and leave me, struggling to raise our eight-year-old alone. So far, I’ve managed to lose my focus, alienate my best friend, and put the business I worked so hard to build in jeopardy.
Nor did I anticipate the curvy woman who had every right to think of me as a heartless real estate tycoon could desire me as much as I desired her. Neither of us are looking for forever. Yet, we can’t deny the magnetic attraction between us—even though she used to despise me for trying to demolish her home. Another problem? She’s my daughter’s teacher.
I won’t risk my daughter’s heart for someone I know won’t stick around, but the more I see of Wren’s passion, kindness, and dedication to her students, especially my daughter, the more my closed-off heart cracks open.
How do we move forward when I’m not ready to let go of the past, and she isn’t willing to risk her job to change the status of our relationship?

#BookReview: Defy the Night (Defy the Night #1) by @BrigidKemmerer @bloomsburykids
King Harristan was thrust into power after his parents' shocking assassination, leaving the younger Prince Corrick to take on the brutal role of the King's Justice. The brothers have learned to react mercilessly to any sign of rebellion--it's the only way to maintain order when the sickness can strike anywhere, and the only known cure, an elixir made from delicate Moonflower petals, is severely limited.
Out in the Wilds, apothecary apprentice Tessa Cade is tired of seeing her neighbors die, their suffering ignored by the unyielding royals. Every night, she and her best friend Wes risk their lives to steal Moonflower petals and distribute the elixir to those who need it most--but it's still not enough.
As rumors spread that the cure no longer works and sparks of rebellion begin to flare, a particularly cruel act from the King's Justice makes Tessa desperate enough to try the impossible: sneaking into the palace. But what she finds upon her arrival makes her wonder if it's even possible to fix Kandala without destroying it first.
#BookReview: Blood Like Magic (Blood Like Magic, #1) by @LiselleSambury @simonteen
After years of waiting for her Calling—a trial every witch must pass in order to come into their powers—the one thing Voya Thomas didn’t expect was to fail. When Voya’s ancestor gives her an unprecedented second chance to complete her Calling, she agrees—and then is horrified when her task is to kill her first love. And this time, failure means every Thomas witch will be stripped of their magic.
Voya is determined to save her family’s magic no matter the cost. The problem is, Voya has never been in love, so for her to succeed, she’ll first have to find the perfect guy—and fast. Fortunately, a genetic matchmaking program has just hit the market. Her plan is to join the program, fall in love, and complete her task before the deadline. What she doesn’t count on is being paired with the infuriating Luc—how can she fall in love with a guy who seemingly wants nothing to do with her?
With mounting pressure from her family, Voya is caught between her morality and her duty to her bloodline. If she wants to save their heritage and Luc, she’ll have to find something her ancestor wants more than blood. And in witchcraft, blood is everything.
