#BookReview: The Last Creation (The Last She #3) by @h.j.nelson

The final installment of The Last She series finds Ara, Kaden, and Sam reunited . . . only to face their toughest adversary yet: the Creation, a selection of clones who are hell-bent on destroying humankind. It’s up to the three of them to save what’s left of humanity before it’s wiped out . . . again.

In the final installment of H.J. Nelson’s dynamic The Last She series, Ara, Kaden, and Sam risk everything to save what’s left of the world when it’s threatened by the Creation. 

Ara and Kaden are above ground. Now that they know the truth, they want nothing more than to move forward. To find their way in this new world, together. They also want to find their way back to Sam, who is both alive and back with the clan. They all want their happy-for-now ending.

The Creation have other plans. They, too, want to exist above ground—but in a world that does not include humans. The battle will happen and only one side can win. Will Ara be the last one standing again, or can she, Kaden, and Sam save what’s left of humanity?

#PreOrderBlitz: Never Stay Broke by @jrutakangwa @RABTBookTours

Nonfiction, Self-Help, Personal Finance

Date Published: September 9, 2025

You’re not broken. The system is just built backwards.

This book is for the person who’s done everything they were told—study hard, work harder, stay positive—and is still asking: Why does it feel like I’m always starting from zero?

Never Stay Broke is a clear, honest guide for figuring out what actually works when things aren’t working. It won’t promise millions or magic. It gives you a way forward—whether you need to make it to the next day, next week, next month, or the rest of your life without looking back.

It’s not about motivation. It’s not about mindset. It’s about movement—small, smart, stacked decisions that build into something you can stand on.

 

Inside, you’ll find:

 

• What to do when you have no time, no credit, and no help

• How to stretch what you have without shrinking your future

• How to turn one move into momentum, then turn that momentum into freedom

• How to stop feeling like you’re catching up, and start acting like you’re in control

 

No fluff. No pity. Just the truth about what it takes to move from survival to security—and beyond.

 

If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t keep living like this,” but didn’t know what to do next, start here.

She was his chance for redemption.

He was her key to freedom.

Prince Ramiel Faundor is a bastard. His entire existence is the second best-kept secret in a kingdom built on blurred lines. But when his dragon-slaying brother dies in battle, Ramiel must stand in his place in the kingdom's coronation duel. There's just one problem: thanks to the king's intimidation, no noble or soldier dares to train him.

Ether Malaphon is a cutthroat elven warrior. Her hatred for humanity is etched into her soul, second only to her resentment for the fairies who killed her parents. Her world unravels when she's dragged from her village to be sacrificed to a long-dead monarch. But fate intervenes when a certain desperate prince strikes a bargain that might save her life. If he rescues her, she must agree to train him for his duel.

As time runs out and enemies close in, Ramiel and Ether must navigate dark curses, buried secrets, and a history determined to repeat itself. But in a kingdom shaped by betrayal, victory may come at the ultimate cost.

Aspen

I’ve finally escaped the everyday hell I’ve dealt with since I was a child. Moving to the small Colorado town of Raven Creek to build a new life felt like the best idea at the time. One of peace, calm nights, and good friends. But when I introduce the hot as sin cowboy as my fake boyfriend for one night, everything shifts. The question is, is it for better or worse?

Rowan

I’ve spent my entire life taking care of my family and our ranch. That all shifts the moment I see her across the bar. Rescuing her from another man was the easy part, but when she says I’m her boyfriend? It all just feels right—I’m hooked. Some may even say obsessed. But I don’t care. I’m willing to do whatever I have to, to ensure she remains mine.

Please note this is a dark romance with morally grey characters and questionable morals.

#BookReview: The Lost Pack by Sophie Davis @seesophiewrite

A fallen pack. A stolen throne. An Alpha’s daughter with vengeance in her heart.

The twin comets were meant to bring peace to the Ophiuchus Wolf Pack. Instead, they unleashed chaos. Drake Aspen, once the privileged daughter of the Alpha, loses everything in a single night—her family, her freedom, her pack. Now, imprisoned in the Snake Mountains under the rule of a ruthless usurper, Drake is no longer a leader but a pawn.

With Penn Williams, the pack’s enigmatic Beta, assigned to guard her every move, the lines between enemy and ally blur. There's an undeniable spark between them, but Drake knows better than to trust him—he's hiding deadly secrets.

As whispers of an ancient prophecy grow louder, Drake must make a choice: uncover the truth, rally a rebellion, or lose her pack forever. Her fate—and her heart—hang in the balance.

Betrayal is inevitable. Vengeance is close. But will it be enough to save them all?

BLURB

Piers “Webber” Webb knew two things for certain.

One, he needed to stay the hell away from Silver Donahue. Two, he didn’t think there was a chance in hell that he could.

He tries, though.

For a solid year, he does his best to be dismissive to the point where he appears cold and threatening.

But when Silver finds herself in danger, he forgets why he was giving her the cold shoulder to begin with.

The thing is, Silver didn’t forget.

***

Silver Donahue was so deeply in love with Piers Webb it was disheartening. Especially knowing he didn’t like her back.

She’s determined to live her life, but with Webber always on the edge of her existence, she knows it’s futile.

But she tries.

The thing is, there’s no way you can ignore Piers Webb when he’s aiming that dark and deadly gaze your way.

She’s determined to keep him at a distance, until one night she has to pick him up on the side of a deserted road in the middle of nowhere. That one moment of need on his end is all she needs to realize a few things.

He’s as scary as he wants her to believe, and killing a man and disposing of a body is a daily practice for him.

She should run so far in the opposite direction, because he has so many red flags, even a toddler wouldn’t be able to ignore them.

But she’s always proven she makes bad decisions.

But Piers Webb is going to be the best bad decision she’s ever made.
