Lord of Shadows! 

Read our Dark Artifices Theories Page for a little fun before it releases.  Thank you to everyone who has contributed to it!  You all have some awesome theories!

Other books coming out soon:

The Crown’s Fate by Evelyn Skye – The conclusion to The Crown’s Game duology hits shelves May 16th. Book 1 gave us a glimpse of a magical battle in imperial Russia. See our recap of The Crown’s Game to prepare for this new release.

Seeker by Veronica Rossi – The conclusion to the Riders duology is also out May 16th. Book 1 was an interesting version of the apocalypse told in Rossi’s fun prose. (Those two things don’t seem to go together, do they?) 😉 See our recap of Riders before you dive into Seeker.

Obsidian and Stars by Julie Eshbaugh – Book 2 in the Ivory and Bone trilogy comes out June 13th. Both the prehistoric setting and the second person point of view made book 1 unique. Read our recap of Ivory and Bone before you pick up Obsidian and Stars.

Whether you’re itching to try a debut author like Skye and Eshbaugh or wanting to revisit an old favorite like Rossi, each of these books has something different to offer. And if you’ve already read the first book in these series, check out our recaps to refresh your memory before picking up the new releases!

Debut Authors to try

We love to support debut authors, and these recent releases are worth a try!

Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller tells the story of a young, female ship captain who gets intentionally captured by an enemy to search for a piece of a treasure map, which she believes is aboard their ship. It is a quick read full of fun banter, and the protagonist is courageous, smart, and witty.

Ever the Hunted by by Erin Summerill is about another brave girl on a mission. She is searching for her father’s killer who might just be her best friend (and crush) who ran off over a year ago. It is also a quick read with great pacing and a touch of magic.

Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram.

That’s all for now. We’ll write again soon!
