When a mysterious child appears at the festival and marks Kari, all

COVER REVEAL: Oaky with a Hint of Murder by Dawn Brotherton #CozyMystery

Posted on by

 

Eastover Treasures, Book 2

Cozy Mystery

Date to be Published: 12 Mar 2024

Publisher: Blue Dragon Publishing, LLC

 

Aury and Scott travel to the Finger Lakes in New York’s wine country
to get to the bottom of the mysterious happenings at the Songscape Winery.
Disturbed furniture and curious noises are one thing, but when a customer
winds up dead, it’s time to dig into the details and see what
ferments.

Is there any truth to the Native American legends that cluster near Seneca
Lake? Is the warrior’s disapproval of wineries growing legs?

Aury will need to pour over the clues to unearth the mystery before the
winery’s reputation is crushed. With the annual wine festival just
around the corner, Aury harvests more than she bargained for when the killer
tries to bottle her up for good.

Excerpt

Chantel’s face fell, but she recovered quickly. “With so much
going on at Songscape, Ethan should cut his losses and drop out of the
festival next weekend. He has so much to attend to.”

“Oh, he’ll pull it together. Don’t worry about
him.” Aury didn’t understand how people put up with this
condescending woman.

“It’s not just about him. We want the attendees to feel safe.
We don’t want a repeat of what happened at the party. Of course,
I’m only saying this for the good of the community. Ethan and Joyce
are new here. They wouldn’t understand how much things like this festival
mean to the livelihood of all the wineries on the Finger Lakes.”
Chantel stared pointedly at Scott. “His careless mistakes could have
big repercussions on everyone.”

Virch
Laura Resau
Published by: Owl Hollow Press
Publication date: March 4, 2024
Genres: Science Fiction, Young Adult

Mind-bending, fast-paced YA sci-fi with heart.

In the year 2154, virtual reality is an enticing escape… but just for the privileged. For others, like sixteen-year-old Liv, reality means living by a contaminated bay that’s sickened her little sister to the brink of death.

Liv is determined to find a cure. She ventures to a mysterious tropical island to infiltrate a tech empire owned by the world’s most powerful man. When she encounters his son, Wolf, she’s shocked. He isn’t the shallow celebrity portrayed in the virtual world—he’s an idealist with heart, committed to righting his father’s wrongs. And when Wolf promises to help save her sister, he might just capture Liv’s heart, too.

But as Liv and Wolf confront a danger beyond anything they could have imagined, they must unravel the deadly scheme at the core of the tech empire. And their world starts to crumble . . . just as they’re falling in love.

Nice Victorian ladies don’t run off to find legendary lost cities.

Empire of Shadows (Raiders of the Arcana Book 1)

Expected Publication Date: April 2, 2024

Genre: Historical Fantasy/ Gaslamp Fantasy

Nice Victorian ladies don’t run off to find legendary lost cities.

One trifling little arrest shouldn’t have cost Ellie Mallory her job, but it’s only the latest in a line of injustices facing any educated woman with archaeological ambitions.

When Ellie stumbles across the map to a mysterious ancient city, she knows she’s holding her chance to revolutionize Pre-Colombian history. There’s just one teensy complication. A ruthless villain wants it, and Ellie is all that stands in his way.

To race him to the ruins—and avoid being violently disposed of—she needs the help of maverick surveyor Adam Bates, a snake-wrangling rogue who can’t seem to keep his dratted shirt on.

But there’s more than Ellie’s scholarly reputation (and life) on the line. Her enemies aren’t just looters. They’re after an arcane secret rumored to lie in the heart of the ruins, a mythical artifact with a power that could shake the world.

Between stealing trousers, plummeting over waterfalls, and trying not to fall in love with her machete-wielding partner, will Ellie be able to stop the oracle of a lost empire from falling into the wrong hands?

Empire of Shadows is the first book in Jacquelyn Benson’s smart, swashbuckling Raiders of the Arcana series. Read it now and dive into a rip-roaring historical fantasy adventure perfect for fans of Romancing the Stone and The Mummy.

COVER REVEAL: Dark Lands (Angelbound Origins series) by Christina Bauer #YAFantasy

Posted on by



Dark Lands
Christina Bauer
(Angelbound Origins, #5)
Published by: Monster House Books
Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult

***Anniversary Edition With Bonus Story: Xavier and Camilla’s Wedding***

Nineteen-year-old Myla Lewis is loving life–she’s a wife, mother, and queen of the demon-fighting thrax. Oh yeah, and being a super-powerful demigoddess who moves souls into Heaven or Hell doesn’t suck, either. In fact, everything is pretty much awesome. Until something craptastic happens.

Her honorary older brother Walker enters the Dark Lands, home to the rule-loving ghouls, and vanishes without a trace.

Now it’s up to Myla to solve the mystery of Walker’s disappearance. Of course, Myla likes interacting with ghouls about as much as elective dental surgery. To make matters harder, everyone thinks that Walker is simply taking a well-deserved vacation. But Myla and her Angelbound love, Lincoln, both suspect that a new criminal called the Viper took Walker in order to release Lucifer, the ex-King of the Angels and a bloodthirsty killer.

Long story short, Myla and Lincoln have only twenty-four hours to rescue their good friend and stop Lucifer from taking over the after-realms. Even for them, this may be a too-tall order, especially when Lucifer’s mysterious past with Myla’s father threatens the very future of the after-realms.
