#BookReview: Ruthless Gods (Something Dark and Holy #2) by Emily A. Duncan

Synopsis: The stunning sequel to instant New York Times bestseller, Wicked Saints!

Darkness never works alone...

Nadya doesn’t trust her magic anymore. Serefin is fighting off a voice in his head that doesn’t belong to him. Malachiasz is at war with who--and what--he’s become. 

As their group is continually torn apart, the girl, the prince, and the monster find their fates irrevocably intertwined. They’re pieces on a board, being orchestrated by someone… or something. The voices that Serefin hears in the darkness, the ones that Nadya believes are her gods, the ones that Malachiasz is desperate to meet—those voices want a stake in the world, and they refuse to stay quiet any longer.

In her dramatic follow-up to Wicked Saints, the first book in her Something Dark and Holy trilogy, Emily A. Duncan paints a Gothic, icy world where shadows whisper, and no one is who they seem, with a shocking ending that will leave you breathless.

#ReleaseBlitz for Violets are not Blue by @mtoppenauthor @GiveMeBooksPR Giveaway ($10 Amazon gift card)

Title: Violets are not Blue

Author: Melissa Toppen

Genre: Spicy Romantic Comedy

Release Date: November 1, 2019

Blurb

Roses are red.

Violets are blue.

Forget everything good you’ve been told about love, because none of it’s true.

You don’t agree?

Spend a day in my shoes and you’d curse love too.

My name’s Blue.

Yes, you read that right. Blue Daniels.

And I hate love.

I despise every single thing about it.

In my thirty-two years on this earth it has brought me nothing but heartbreak and disappointment.

Love is a void. Something we’re taught we need if we want to live a happy and fulfilled life.

Well I disagree.

Some say I’m a cynic. Other’s call me the smartest woman they’ve ever met.

But no matter what anyone says, I know what I need. And love is not it.

Enter Harris Avery.

A man who thinks he can have anyone he wants, including me.

A man who reminds me daily why I swore off love in the first place.

He walks around the office like he owns the place, throwing that sexy smirk of his at every female he passes. He thinks no one is immune to his charm.

But poor Mr. Avery has never met a girl like me before.

I’m more likely to throw myself off a bridge than at his feet.

There’s just one problem…

He’s decided to make it his mission to prove me wrong.

To that I say, let the games begin…

It happened in stages.

Hated. Cared for. Loathed. And … loved.

Title: Net Force: Dark Web

Author: Jerome Preisler

Published:  November 26, 2019
Publisher: Hanover Square Press
Pages: 704

Synopsis: The return of the cutting-edge thriller series Net Force , created by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik and written by Jerome Preisler.

The number one threat to our nation’s security is in cyberspace. The new US president wants to tackle the urgent problem head-on and launches a top secret line of defense: Net Force. But before the organization can be announced, the country is hit by an unprecedented, two-pronged terror attack.

Not yet empowered by Congress nor embraced by a dubious intelligence community, still untested, unproven and officially unnamed, Net Force’s elite group of cyber experts and field operatives must lead the fight against the ongoing waves of hacks while tracking down the mastermind. Their failure could mean global catastrophe. Success may lead them to become the highest-level security agency in the United States.

A story that seems ripped from tomorrow’s headlines, Net Force: Dark Web relaunches one of the most prescient thriller series at a time when cybersecurity is more vital than ever.

They say there are three things you should do at least once in your life:

Dance like nobody’s watching.

Travel the world.

And fall hopelessly in love.

I aimed to do all three.

I went to Italy to find myself.

But he found me.

It was like a story book, our eyes met across a crowded room.

He asked me if I needed help reading the menu.

We ate, we laughed, we danced, and I fell.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go to plan, and we parted ways.

Two years later, our eyes meet across a room again.

Only this time I was on a date with another man.

He went crazy in a jealous fit.

But the man I met then is different now.

He’s colder, harder, and officially one of the most powerful men in Italy.

Dare I say it, even more enticing.

But if you dance with the devil, you get burnt.

And the fires in Italy are scalding hot.
