#BookBlitz: The Final Exam (Tanglewood University #3) by Skye Warren @valentine_pr_

A shadow looms over Tanglewood University.

It threatens the professors and the students. It threatens the dean.

I’m powerless to stop corruption that goes deep into the city’s underworld.

Professor William Stratford has the secrets we need. And I find inside me a strength that has nothing to do with escaping my family. It has to do with building a new one.

Can we reclaim the college? Can we forge a future together?

We need more than bravery to win, but it will mean nothing without love.

THE FINAL EXAM is the breathtaking final book in the Tanglewood University trilogy.

#BookReview: Crown of Earth and Sky (Secrets of the Faerie Crown #1) by Emberly Ash

What do I want?
A quick death.
Barring that, I only dream of one thing—revenge.

Veyka Pendragon was crowned queen in a farce fit for any circus. Now, as her traitorous court plots around her, the new Queen of the Elemental Fae must take revenge on the humans who betrayed her while also guarding a dangerous secret.

The arrival of her betrothed, the storied Brutal Prince, is merely another cog in the wheels of time and space spinning around her.

Arran Earthborn is the strongest terrestrial fae in millennia. If Veyka wishes to keep the peace her ancestors fought and died for, she must join with him soon.

But the Brutal Prince has not earned his name by playing nice. The torture he exacts will enrage and enflame her—and endanger a secret that would rip their world to shreds.

The days are slipping by.
Very soon I will have to choose…
The crown that destroyed my life but protects my kingdom…
Or settling the scores that haunt my every step.

Crown of Earth and Sky is a twisted mythology retelling of the Arthur legend. It is a high-steam fantasy romance with dark elements.

#PreorderBlitz: Icarus Rising by Stephanie Burke & Arena Senoj @RABTBookTours

 

Motherboards & Magic (#2)

 

Cyberpunk / Gay Romance / Sci-Fi

Date Published: 1/3/25

Publisher: Changeling Press

 

Dark clouds are gathering. Icarus is the light at the end of the tunnel. And in his wake: Chaos.

 

Even though dark clouds gather in the distance, Asher, Vers, and Korya start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. That “Light” is named Icarus, and with him comes chaos. Even as the trio’s immediate problem is solved, more people are out to get them.

With danger at every turn, they can only depend on each other. Who is this mysterious alien called Icarus? Is he there to help protect them from the DPL or are they about to become victims of an insidious plot to end the planet? Either way, the friction is burning as they take one step closer to unraveling the mysteries of Asher’s parents’ death, and what the DPL is hiding.
