Phantom Pact: The Bearer’s Burden
Chad Queen
Publication date: May 8th 2018
Genres: Adult, Fantasy, Science Fiction
Cade Elegy’s mind is tearing itself apart, crowded with the phantoms of the dead, and he must carry the burdens they could not.
This bond lends him their experience and allows him to bend the laws of the physical world — a power he desperately needs if he is to discover the truth of what happened to his missing family.
The trail has gone cold, but he is given one last chance when he is recruited by a princess to solve a murder. They soon uncover proof that their war with the Wraiths, a hostile alien race dominating their planet, never really ended.
Together with the princess, an overzealous archaeologist, and an ancient computer intelligence, Cade must stop the Wraiths before they annihilate the last remaining cities of Chalice and before the phantoms he bears destroy what’s left of his mind.

#BookReview: Eggsistential Thoughts by Gudetama the Lazy Egg by Francesco Sedita, Max Bisantz
About the Book:
Meh . . .
From Sanrio, who brought you Hello Kitty, comes Gudetama, the lazy egg.
Not all Sanrio characters are cheery! In Japanese, when you're lazy, you are referred to as gude gude.
And that's where our new friend gets its name.
Gudetama (tama from "tamago," egg in Japanese) is the lazy egg. Gudetama likes soy sauce and being left alone.
Sometimes, Gudetama wonders if we are born only to suffer.
And here, in Eggsistential Thoughts, are Gudetama's musings on life.
#BookReview: The Smoke Thieves (The Smoke Thieves #1) by Sally Green
About the Book:
A princess, a traitor, a hunter and a thief. Four teenagers with the fate of the world in their hands. Four nations destined for conflict.
In Brigant, Princess Catherine prepares for a loveless political marriage arranged by her brutal and ambitious father.
In Calidor, downtrodden servant March seeks revenge on the prince who betrayed his people.
In Pitoria, feckless Edyon steals cheap baubles for cheaper thrills as he drifts from town to town.
And in the barren northern territories, thirteen-year-old Tash is running for her life as she plays bait for the gruff demon hunter Gravell.
As alliances shift and shatter, and old certainties are overturned, our four heroes find their past lives transformed and their futures inextricably linked by the unpredictable tides of magic and war. Who will rise and who will fall? And who will claim the ultimate prize?

A marriage-of-convenience with a twist
Jack Sutton isn’t about to be backed into a corner by the stipulations of his mother’s will.

This is no exception. If only he hadn’t made the mistake of telling his aunt he’d be introducing his fiance to her that afternoon.
When Kelly Bradley walks into the middle of his meeting with his aunt, he can only assume his best friend sent her. She’s the answer he needs, isn’t she? And if Andrew sent her, he must have screened her. Saying yes to her proposal will hand him the solution he needs.
But will her fix end up costing a whole lot more than either she or Jack planned to pay? When her life is on the line, Jack finds himself racing to save the woman he’s fast losing his heart to.
