#BookBlitz: The World in my Eyes by Kayode Michael Arimoro @RABTBookTours

 

Self-Help, Self Reflection

Date Published: 5/25/2022

 

 

We all have a certain role to play in what we want the world to look like. What the world looks and feels like today is because of our actions – or inactions; there is always a price to pay for both. The need to understand that we are responsible for what the world is today cannot be overemphasized. We are either living in it carelessly, carefully scheming and orchestrating conflicts that will last many generations, or transferring in our young ones hatred about others which they, moving forward, transfer into theirs.

‘The World in My Eyes’ is a masterpiece by Kayode Michael Arimoro as he, through his experiences and reflections, is making a conscious effort to urge everyone to pause for a moment, take account of how our actions and inactions have impacted the world, and make a conscious effort to making the world a better place than we met it.

#BookReview: The Dangerous Ones by @LJ_Blackwood

Synopsis: A romantic historical fantasy from New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blackwood, set in the American Civil War with vampires and people with demigod-like abilities.

1863, Pennsylvania

War doesn’t scare Jerusalem—she’s a Saint. Thanks to powerful demigod-style reflexes, endurance, and strength, she’s fearless. And ever since the Confederates declared civil war, partnering with the vampires who benefitted off slavery, she and her battalion of Saints are essential to the Union army.

Jerusalem herself had been enslaved by a vampire, escaping North only after her family was murdered. She knows the enemy better, hates the enemy more than anyone in her battalion, and has been using it to her advantage since she joined the war a year ago. More than anything she wants revenge, but if she can help Black people gain freedom and equality without having to steal it for themselves like she had to, then all the better.

But she never expects to have to team up with a vampire to do it. Alexei is one of those handsome, arrogant Ancient Vampires. But he’s on the Union’s side, and in the year they've known each other, has never done anything but prove he’s on hers.

Together, they set out to change the course of the war and take down the vampire who destroyed everyone Jerusalem loved. But for her, it’s about more than justice.

It's about killing a god.

This title will be released on May 14, 2024.

Matteo

My time with Bella McIntosh was only supposed to last a week—I needed to focus on the family business—but I’d soon realize I couldn’t let her go.

She haunted my dreams and drove me to the point of distraction.

That’s how I found myself on the verge of saying ‘I do’, but deep down, I knew I couldn’t go through with it.

Leaving my bride at the altar wasn’t part of the plan, but I had to follow my heart … which was on the other side of the world.

I could only hope she’d never forget the time we shared.

Bella

I had everything I ever wanted … except him.

Matteo Mancini.

He was supposed to be a vacation fling, but he turned out to be so much more.

We promised each other forever, but our time ended before we got that chance.

I left my heart in Italy and returned home to focus on the life I was building. All the while pretending I was over him, but I wasn’t. I never would be.

We lived a world apart … if only our love was strong enough to withstand the obstacles that stood in our way.

She was the epitome of forbidden fruit.

And I wanted a taste.

Liam

Being the oldest Ravage brother means I’ve always been the fixer, handling everyone else’s mess.

But the one problem I can’t solve?

Keeping my hands off my best friend’s daughter.

Hidden away in my remote cabin, writing is my escape until duty thrusts her into my life.

Over the years, Zoe evolves into a tempting taboo–the one person I crave but can never claim, despite what she tells me about her… inclinations.

I vowed protection at any cost–even if it’s from myself.

Zoe

Orphaned and thrust into adulthood, I bury myself in school work and keep my eyes trained on the prize.

Now, with law school and an uncertain future looming, I’m used to doing everything myself and pushing back against Liam’s stoic, overprotective resolve.

Until I learn that the vanilla, cinnamon roll of a man I’ve known my whole life isn't so vanilla after all.

Now, instead of infuriating me, his strict, commanding presence sends shivers down my spine.

I soon realize his resistance was never about denying desire for him–it was about fulfilling a different kind of hunger.

Warning: This book contains an overprotective/possessive hero, explicit sexual situations, and strong language. There is a HEA.

#BookReview: This Dark Descent (This Dark Descent #1) by Kalyn Josephson @KalynJosephson

Synopsis: The Shadows Between Us meets Six of Crows in this spellbinding new fantasy full of intrigue, romance, and pulse-pounding action, where the eldest daughter of a renowned family on the verge of ruin joins forces with a mysterious, rogue enchanter and a handsome, ambitious heir to win a deadly race.

Mikira Rusel’s family has long been famous for breeding enchanted horses, but their prestige is no match for their rising debts. To save her ranch, Mikira has only one option: she must win the Illinir, a treacherous horserace whose riders either finish maimed or murdered. Yet each year, competitors return, tempted by its alluring prize money and unparalleled prestige.

Mikira’s mission soon unites her with Arielle Kadar, an impressive yet illicit enchanter just beginning to come into her true power, and Damien Adair, a dashing young lord in the midst of a fierce succession battle. Both have hidden reasons of their own to help Mikira -- as well as their own blood feuds to avenge…

Steeped in Jewish folklore, This Dark Descent is a pulse-pounding new fantasy full of forbidden magic, sizzling romance, and epic stakes. In a world as dangerous as this, will the need for vengeance butcher Mikira’s chances of winning the Illinir … or will another rider’s dagger?
