Hi everyone! Happy Monday! Only five more days until Halloween! Eep! So far we've had some amazing authors on the Trick-or-Treat Chronicles. In case you missed it, at first we had Kim Harrington, then Judith Graves, and Tessa Gratton. Today we have a very special guest. She's written just about a bazillion books and all of them have incredible ratings on Amazon and Goodreads. Somehow I was living under a rock and had only heard of Susan for the first time this year when I read her novel Very Bad Things. It literally blew my mind. Very Bad Things is a fantastic Y[...]

2 One of my favorite authors has a very special book birthday today! Who, you ask? Well, it's the ever lovely Julie Hutchings! Her sequel RUNNING AWAY is out today. About RUNNING AWAY Eliza Morgan is desperate to escape the horrors of her mortal life and understand why death follows her, leaving only one man, Nicholas French, in its wake.

I love the imagination, the story, and the fact that a book published in 1865 is still loved, cherished, and relevant today. Imagine my excitement when I got a message from Leap Books. In 2015, they're celebrating its 150th anniversary in a BIG WAY. Leap Books is putti[...]
Let me just say that there are few authors as fantastic as Heather Marie. What I love about her is her love of dark things and her individuality. Which of course, is why I flipped out when I heard about THE GATEWAY THROUGH WHICH THEY CAME. Have you heard of this book? No? Well, let me introduce you. THE GATEWAY THROUGH WHICH THEY CAME To seventeen-year-old Aiden Ortiz, letting the dead walk through his body to reach the other side comes with the territory. Being a Gateway isn’t an easy job, but someone’s gotta send Bleeders where they belong. Heaven. Salva[...]
It's amazing to me, the success that Kristen Strassel has had since the initial publication of her debut novel Because the Night. Because the Night was published in November 2013 and it has caught on like wildfire. In such a short period of time, she has received almost 100 collective 4 and 5 ratings on her book. People have nothing but amazing things to say about it, such as this small snipper from the review of Jillian Marques on Goodreads, "Hmmm... Sex, drugs and rock n' roll. Need more? Ok, throw in some vampires. How about some mystery? Murder? Cliffhangers?[...]
