#BookReview: Voyage of the Damned by Frances White @Frances_Writes

The TikTok sensation from the UK has come to North America! This special first edition hardcover will include a gorgeous, shimmering jacket with effects, beautifully illustrated endpapers and detailed-stained edges.

A mind-blowing murder mystery on a ship full of magical passengers. If Agatha Christie wrote fantasy, this would be it!

For a thousand years, Concordia has maintained peace between its provinces. To mark this incredible feat, the emperor’s ship embarks upon a twelve-day voyage to the sacred Goddess’s Mountain. Aboard are the twelve heirs of the provinces of Concordia, each graced with a unique and secret magical ability known as a Blessing.

All except one: Ganymedes Piscero—class clown, slacker and all-around disappointment.

When a beloved heir is murdered, everyone is a suspect. Stuck at sea and surrounded by powerful people and without a Blessing to protect him, Ganymedes’s odds of survival are slim.

But as the bodies pile higher, Ganymedes must become the hero he was not born to be. Can he unmask the killer and their secret Blessing before this bloody crusade reaches the shores of Concordia?

Or will the empire as he knows it fall?

#BookReview: Sacrificial Animals by Kailee Pedersen (Audiobook)

Inspired by Kailee Pedersen's own journey being adopted from Nanning, China in 1996 and growing up on a farm in Nebraska, this rich and atmospheric supernatural horror debut explores an ancient Chinese mythology.

The last thing Nick Morrow expected to receive was an invitation from his father to return home. When he left rural Nebraska behind, he believed he was leaving everything there, including his abusive father, Carlyle, and the farm that loomed so large in memory, forever.

But neither Nick nor his brother Joshua, disowned for marrying Emilia, a woman of Asian descent, can ignore such summons from their father, who hopes for a deathbed reconciliation. Predictably, Joshua and Carlyle quickly warm to each other while Nick and Emilia are left to their own devices. Nick puts the time to good use and his flirtation with Emilia quickly blooms into romance. Though not long after the affair turns intimate, Nick begins to suspect that Emilia’s interest in him may have sinister, and possibly even ancient, motivations.

Punctuated by scenes from Nick’s adolescent years, when memories of a queer awakening and a shadowy presence stalking the farm altered the trajectory of his life forever, Sacrificial Animals explores the violent legacy of inherited trauma and the total collapse of a family in its wake.

#CoverReveal: Frost Bound (Entangled with Trickery #1) by Frost Kay @RRBookTours1

We’re thrilled to share the stunning cover for USA Today’s Bestselling Author Frost Kay’s upcoming romantic fantasy, Frost Bound!

Dahlia Skysinger has managed to survive the underworld of Astera her whole life through clever deals, selling her voice, and never staying in one place too long. When her little brother is caught stealing from the crown, Lia is forced to make a cruel bargain with the royals.

Her life for his.

To regain her freedom, Lia must impersonate the princess, marry the monstrous frost giant king, then spy on and . . . kill him.

Taking a human bride is King Neve’s last chance to secure peace for his people. Promised a frail mortal princess he could lock away and forget about, the last thing he expects is a woman with a sharp tongue and a reckless amount of courage. Lia might be the key to avoiding war, but he doesn’t trust a single word that falls from her pretty lips.

And so the wicked game of trickery and survival begins.

But what happens when an assassin starts to have feelings for her target, and a king's icy heart begins to melt for his little human bride?

#CoverReveal: The Secrets of Jane: Reborn (Improper Bastards Book 2) by Charlotte Mallory @RRBookTours1

We're so excited to reveal the cover for the highly anticipated sequel in the Improper Bastards duology, The Secrets of Jane: Reborn!

Inspired by Pirates of the Caribbean meets The Witcher in this true enemies-to-lovers duology.

He’s a mercenary set on claiming the bounty on her head, only to forcibly turn into her bodyguard once her secrets are revealed; he selfishly wants what she has to offer, but he must keep her alive to claim it.

"No one will hurt her without suffering. Not anymore. Not with me in her shadow." -- Soren

I’m being hunted.

The pursuer is more terrifying than I ever imagined.

Those in my life want to keep me safe; alive. But I’m capable in my own right, and I will do anything to protect them. Once Soren discovers my plan that’s concocted by a witch we all detest... he will despise it.

It will require muting my soul to him, the thing he loves to invade.

I admit, there’s a part of me that dreads his reaction when he can’t have unbidden entry into my heart. If this strategy gets me close to my assailants, though, my family will be avenged and my loved one’s safety will be secured.

It’s time the world meets the side of me that is born and bred in Skull’s Row.

I will be reborn.
