RELEASING NOVEMBER 16

Detective Drake Nash: hot, alpha, bossy, and… mine.

Now, if someone could tell his ex that... I don’t care if the summer fayre is coming to Holly Woods and she’s on the planning committee. What I do care about is sugar-filled food, bright lights, late nights… and danger. The type that won’t come in the form of Nonna’s new cantankerous British parrot, Gio. (Please see the damage done to Mom’s new curtains.)

Unfortunately, when the danger comes, it comes in the form of something Holly Woods has never seen. The town is rocked to its core, and once again, I’m in danger. Only this time, it isn’t because of my clients—this time, I’m in danger because of who I am… Because of my heritage.

And despite the HWPD’s best efforts, the bodies keep on piling up.

Drake’s determined to protect me. I’m determined that I can do it myself.

Danger. Mystery. Darkness. Malice.

It’ll be a miracle if any of us make it out of this with guns unfired, cupcakes still frosted, and hearts intact…

ADD TO GOODREADS

Photograph cheating spouses. Hand over the evidence. Cash my check.

That was my plan when I returned home to Holly Woods, Texas, and became a private investigator.

Finding the dead body in my dumpster? Yeah… Given the choice, I think I would have opted out of that little discovery, especially since all three of my brothers are cops. And my Italian grandmother is sure the reason I’m single is because of my job.

Of course, my connection to the victim is entirely coincidental. Until I’m hired by her husband to investigate her murder and shoved bang-smack into the path of Detective Drake Nash.

My nemesis, a persistent pain in my ass, and one hell of a sexy son of a bitch.

Shame he still holds a grudge from that time I shot him in the foot twelve years ago, or we could have something. In another life.

So now all I have to do is avoid my nonna’s blind dates, try not to blackmail my brothers into giving me confidential police files, and absolutely do not point my gun at Drake Nash. Or kiss him. Or jump his bones.

All while I hunt down the killer.

Sounds totally simple—until a second body proves that sometimes things that start as coincidences don’t always end up that way…

(Twisted Bond is book one of the Holly Woods Files series and while it does not end in a cliffhanger, it is not a standalone.)

One date with the sexier-than-sin Detective Drake Nash. Simple.

Until you take into account that my brother finally proposed to his girlfriend, so Nonna is on a warpath—and the crazy old bat has Cupid by the balls.

The upcoming mayoral elections has everyone running on full speed, and while I couldn’t give any less craps about the corrupt Holly Woods mayor’s office, a dead body in the middle of a campaign speech has me thrown right into the middle of it. The victim is close to the mayor, but all he cares about is minimizing the damage to his campaign, so he hires me to work alongside Drake to close the case as quickly as possible.

Bad news for our tentative relationship.

We disagree far more than we agree, but being at loggerheads won’t get this murder solved… Or deal with the arrival of someone from his past.

The mysteries behind the murder aren’t the only things unraveling, and despite being knee-deep in lies and corruption and bonds so tangled they’re almost indecipherable, I have to figure out if I’m willing to fight for Drake the way I do justice…

Or if he’ll be my one who gets away.I’m an Italian-Texan woman in a family full of cops. I’m passionate and shoot before I think. You only f*ck with me if you’re stupid.

COVER REVEAL: Missing Dixie by Caisey Quinn

Fighting for redemption…

I’ve lived most of my life in darkness, beneath the shadows of secrets and addictions. The last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt the only girl I’d ever loved—the one who brought me into the light. In my entire life I’d made one promise—a promise I’d intended to keep. I’ve broken that promise and now I have to live with the fallout. Dixie Lark hates me, and I have to tell her that I love her. I also have to tell her a truth that might destroy us forever.

Can she love me even if she can’t forgive me?

Learning to move on…

Gavin Garrison broke his promise to my brother and he broke my heart in the process. I may never love anyone the way I’ve loved him, but at least I won’t spend my life wondering what if. We had our one night and he walked away. I’m finally beginning to move on when my brother’s wedding and a battle of the bands brings us back together.

Our band is getting a second chance, but I don’t know if I can give him one. How do you hand your heart back to the person who set it on fire once already?

TROLLHUNTERS by Guillermo del Toro and Daniel Kraus

"You are food. Those muscles you flex to walk, lift, and talk? They're patties of meat topped with chewy tendon. That skin you've paid so much attention to in mirrors? It's delicious to the right tongues, a casserole of succulent tissue. And those bones that give you the strength to make your way in the world? They rattle between teeth as the marrow is sucked down slobbering throats. These facts are unpleasant but useful. There are things out there, you see, that don't cower in holes to be captured by us and cooked over our fires. These things have their own ways of trapping their kills, their own fires, their own appetites."

Jim Sturges is your typical teen in suburban San Bernardino— one with an embarrassingly overprotective dad, a best friend named "Tubby" who shares his hatred of all things torturous (like gym class), and a crush on a girl who doesn't know he exists. But everything changes for Jim when a 45-year old mystery resurfaces, threatening the lives of everyone in his seemingly sleepy town. Soon Jim has to team up with a band of unlikely (and some un-human) heroes to battle the monsters he never knew existed.

From the minds of horror geniuses Guillermo del Toro and Daniel Kraus comes a new illustrated novel about the fears that move in unseen places.

Guillermo del Toro is known for his critically acclaimed feature films, such as Pan's Labyrinth, Helllboy, The Hobbit, and Pacific Rim, as well as his best-selling Strain Trilogy.

Daniel Kraus is the award-winning author of Scowler and Rotters, and is the director of six feature films. He lives with his wife in Chicago.

**We want to thank the publisher, Hyperion and Brittany at Big Honcho Promos for gifting us both with hard copies of this beautifully crafted book in exchange for our honest opinions.***

Don't fall over, guys, but this might be my shortest review EVER. We all know I'm a bit wordy with the feels, so I backspaced and deleted more lines than I care to admit. And herein lies my problem; I really, really enjoyed this modern horror story. So much so I'm been telling all of my friends with YA readers at home. I might be getting on their nerves. But as I attempt to write my review I find myself wanting to give away too much. There's just so much to this tale. And you should experience it all on your own with no expectations or influence- other than us telling you to PICK IT UP, of course.

Now, TROLLHUNTERS  had a somewhat slow, heavily detailed start but this proved to be a strong and entertaining read. Great characters, crazy twists, teenage angst and terror. What more could you want, right?

The plot was great- full of excitement and surprises. It's powerful in metaphors and symbolism. Packed with action and plenty of fright, and yet fun and lighthearted, and heartwarming.

The character development was fantastic. A wonderful mix of misfits and dysfunction. Our MC, Jim Sturgis Jr, is uber smart- yet naïve, funny, absolutely awkward, and the perfect unexpected hero. Fold in the best friend, the dream girl, the archrival, and add in your not so garden-variety trolls and you've got a cast meant for more than the written page.  Seriously, these characters deserve to be on a screen. Dive in and you'll see what I mean. You might actually find yourself endeared by a couple of trolls.

TROLLHUNTERS was a well rounded, intelligent, supernatural fantasy that left me fully satisfied. I set the bar high for Mr. Del Toro, and he and his partner exceeded my expectations.
I recommend it for mature YA readers for mild language and graphic descriptives.

How do I start?? I was so excited to be able to get a chance to read this book...

Trolls...tackling this supernatural entity in which is something that I haven't really read many books about was intriguing and quite exhilarating to see what Del Toro and Mr. Kraus would do.

And guess what?? I was not disappointed.  

Trollhunters was a fantastical fun story all the while dipping in to the darkness with an action-packed tale in a creatively imaginative world.

Following along with our multi layered characters and intense journey, you get so wrapped up, eager to see what is going to happen next....

Although it started a little slow, once the pace picks up it is non stop with witty humor and a riveting plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Highly captivating and definitely set for the YA genre, although be mindful that there is some mild language and with its dark undertones it may be too much for some sensitive readers, a definite must read!!!

Everyone knows you should never say never.

Cooper Moore never saw Maggie Williams coming. She was just his best friend’s little sister, the curly-haired, freckle-faced girl from Mississippi who was absolutely off limits. And he never thought about her any other way — not until he saw her that night, broken and brave. From that moment on, he knew he’d do whatever it took to protect her, even if it meant he had to stay away.

Maggie never expected to find her fiancé banging her maid of honor an hour before she was set to walk down the aisle, but life’s funny that way. The only option to save her sanity is to get the hell out of Jackson and move to New York where her brother lives. The only downside: Cooper is there too. And she just doesn’t know if she can stay away from him — the filthy rich, dead sexy playboy who’s allergic to commitment.

The second Maggie sees him again, she realizes he’ll be impossible to resist. Luckily, commitment is the last thing on her mind, and Cooper is the perfect escape. As long as she can keep her heart in check, everything will be just fine. Because she can never have feelings for him. Or at least that’s what she’ll keep telling herself.

*****
 I can't really express how excited I am for Cooper and Maggie's book. I knew as soon as they were each introduced to us in With a Twist that I wanted to know more about these two. Both have quite a backstory and I'm inching to dive into the muck and mire and watch this romance bloom despite the odds. I don't know about you guys, but I already need a drink and a fan. I mean, come on, it's COOPER!!! 
Safe to say, the sparks are going to fly in CHASER. 

If you haven't yet read With a Twist... I don't know what you're waiting for. Get it now!
Happy reading! ~Shell

RELEASE DAY BLAST: The Moment of Letting Go by J.A. Redmerski

You can follow the rules or you can follow your heart...

Sienna Murphy never does anything without a plan. And so far her plans have been working. Right after college, she got a prestigious job and gained the stability she'd always craved-until work takes her to the sun-drenched shores of Oahu and places her in the path of sexy surfer Luke Everett. For the first time, she lets her heart take control. Drawn to his carefree charm, she makes a spontaneous and very un-Sienna-like decision to drop everything and stay in Hawaii for two more weeks.

Luke lives fast and wild. When he meets Sienna, he's convinced that some no-strings-attached fun is just what she needs. As their nights quickly turn from playful to passionate, Luke can't deny the deep connection he feels. But there's a reason Luke doesn't do long-term. He can't promise Sienna forever, when the enormity of his past has shown him just how fragile the future can be . . .

The Moment of Letting Go is a phenomenal story...From start to finish I was totally captivated by the budding romance and the suspenseful tone of how the tale would end.
Being told in both POVs from Sienna and Luke, I was thrilled to be able to experience each character's thoughts and emotions.  I fell in love with Luke and adored Sienna.
Their attraction was instant and I dove in dying to see where these two would end up...Of course I was hoping for the HEA, but one never knows these days if that is what I would get.
Sienna is a hard working girl that has focused all her attention on work.  Coming from a life in which she didn't have a lot of money, she didn't want to struggle in her everyday life.  Taking a day off?? Yeah, so not her style.  But a huge job requires her to go to Hawaii and guess what??
Yep, the hot steamy Luke enters the scene and totally turns her world upside down.
Sienna throws caution to the wind and truly finds herself letting go...
But at what cost does all this come?
Sienna gets the great parts of Luke and believe me...they are AWESOME!!
But, there is this side to him that he is so afraid to show her.  Will this destroy the connection that Sienna and Luke have?
*sighs*
Each and every moment while reading this amazing story, I was enthralled by how swoony Luke was...But I loved Sienna just as much...she was inspiring in how she followed her heart and ultimately found so much more.
My heart ached and rejoiced all throughout and all I can say is that this is a book that you need to get today and devour...
A definite MUST READ... :D
