#BookReview: Rakesfall by Vajra Chandrasekera @_vajra



Rakesfall is a groundbreaking, standalone science fiction epic about two souls bound together from here until the ends of time, from the author of The Saint of Bright Doors

Some stories take more than one lifetime to tell. There are wrongs that echo through the ages, friendships that outpace the claws of death, loves that leave their mark on civilization, and promises that nothing can break. This is one such story.

Annelid and Leveret met after the war, but before the peace. They found each other in a torn-up nation, peering through propaganda to grasp a deeper truth. And in a demon-haunted wood, another act of violence linked them and propelled their souls on a journey throughout the ages. No world can hold them, no life can bind them, and they'll never leave each other behind. But their journey will not be easy. In every lifetime, oppressors narrow the walls of possibility, shaping reality to fit their own needs. And behind the walls of history, the witches of the red web swear that every throne will fall.

Tracing two souls through endless lifetimes, Rakesfall is a virtuosic exploration of what stories can be. As Annelid and Leveret reincarnate ever deeper into the future, they will chase the edge of human possibility, in a dark science fiction epic unlike anything you've read before.

#ReleaseBlitz for Butcher by Kimberly Knight & Rachel Lyn Adams @GiveMeBooksPR




Title: Butcher
Authors: Kimberly Knight & Rachel Lyn Adams
Genre: MMF Sports Romance
Tropes: Hockey Romance/Bi-Awakening
Friends to Lovers/Fling to Lovers
Release Date: November 22, 2024


BLURB

My life has revolved around hockey for as long as I can remember. Early morning skates, grueling training camps, and endless road trips. There’s never been distractions, no dating, and definitely no one finding out the secret I’ve kept to myself.

I always figured I’d wait until I hung up my skates to explore my sexuality outside the rink.

But they changed me.

After a night out celebrating a championship win, I find myself in a hotel room with Levi Sexton, my straight teammate and son of a small-town pastor, and Kaylee Peters, the stunning bombshell my captain introduced us to. What begins as a no-strings-attached good time turns into a lot more than what we all thought it would.

Once the three of us decide to make things official, Levi and I have to pretend we’re just friends, but he has a secret of his own. One that could shatter everything if his judgmental family ever found out. When Kaylee faces a sudden health crisis, it shocks us to our cores, and suddenly, our relationship feels like it’s skating on thin ice.

I don’t know if we’ll make it through unscathed, but one thing’s for sure: I’m not ready to lose either of them.

Not now.

Not ever.

My name is Austin Butcher, and while I’m always ready to drop the gloves on the ice, there’s a deeper love stirring within me for Levi and Kaylee—the two people who bring out my softer side.

This is our story.

Last Call
A.S. Kelly
(Love At Last #1)
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Niall Kerry. I’m almost forty years old, and I’m drowning in something that begins with ‘S’ – it doesn’t quite seem appropriate to write it down here.

After a lifetime out on a sports field, living as a champion – as someone who never had to ask for anything – I’ve suddenly found myself starting from scratch. I’m living in the middle of nowhere with my parents, I’m jobless, and I have a teenage daughter who hates me. Oh, and I have to try and regain the trust of everyone I know.

It’s not easy to convince people that, deep down, you’re not so bad; that you’re no longer that troublesome kid they once knew. It’s not easy to work my way into the heart of my favourite headmistress, Jordan.
It’s especially difficult when she wants nothing to do with me.

But you know what? I’m not the kind of guy who just sits back and accepts defeat, or who stops at the small print at the bottom of the page. I’m someone who plays right until the final whistle.
And when her heart is on the line, I’m ready to make my strict, sexy headmistress an offer she can’t refuse.
