Cover Reveal!!! ♥

A romance filled with love in unexpected placed from Jewel E. Ann is coming March 26th!

Synopsis

“In another life, she was my forever.”

An unexpected tragedy leaves Professor Nathaniel Hunt a widower alone with a newborn baby.

He hires a nanny. She’s young, but well-qualified, with a simple life, a crazy name obsession, and a boyfriend she met at the grocery store.

Over time, he discovers she knows things about him—things that happened before she was born—like a hidden scar on his head, his favorite pizza, and how he cheated on a high school Spanish test.

She speaks familiar words and shares haunting memories that take him back to over two decades earlier when he lost his best friend in a tragic accident.

“I’m afraid of what’s going to happen when you realize I’m not her.”

Transcend is a sexy, mind-bending journey that uncovers possibilities, challenges beliefs, and begets the age-old question: is there life after death?

About Jewel

Jewel is a free-spirited romance junkie with a quirky sense of humor. With 10 years of flossing lectures under her belt, she took early retirement from her dental hygiene career to stay home with her three awesome boys and manage the family business. After her best friend of nearly 30 years suggested a few books from the Contemporary Romance genre, Jewel was hooked. Devouring two and three books a week but still craving more, she decided to practice sustainable reading, AKA writing. When she’s not donning her cape and saving the planet one tree at a time, she enjoys yoga with friends, good food with family, rock climbing with her kids, watching How I Met Your Mother reruns, and of course…heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, panty-scorching novels.

"The Girl Who Knew Too Much" by Amanda Quick

The Girl Who Knew Too Much by Amanda Quick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Release Date: May 9th, 2017
NOTE: This is a spoiler-free review, and I will try my best to keep it that way....



This book is very different from anything I have read in Quick's previous works. (I'm a big fan of her 90's material, which centers on love).
And I'll admit I was a bit nervous after seeing such positive reviews because I'm usually that person.
"THAT PERSON": The one who doesn't like the book everyone loves....


But for the first time in a long time, I found myself agreeing with those around me! The drama that occurs in TGWKTM is insane!

You've got Irene: a gossip columnist with a dark past....(Lea Michelle would be my Irene...)


The you've got Oliver: a former magician, who is trying to start over.


THE PLOT (short version): a killer is on the loose! Determined to get the story and figure out who is behind the crimes, Irene takes matters into her own hands with the help of Oliver.

Writing: 10.
Cover: 10
Plot: 10
Love: 5. But it worked. There was just enough to keep me satisfied.
Mystery: 10
Character Development: 10
POV: written in third person, but has a strong voice narrative.

Conclusion: Definitely one of the Best books of 2017. Quick has a way of making you feel for her characters and grow emotionally attached to them. I can't explain it. She has the ability to create a plot that leaves your mind reeling days after you've finished the book.

I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of Paula Hawkins. (Aka, The Girl on the Train)

The Glittering Court (Paperback release)

GLITTERING COURT SUMMARY:

 

Big and sweeping, spanning from the refined palaces of Osfrid to the gold dust and untamed forests of Adoria, The Glittering Court tells the story of Adelaide, an Osfridian countess who poses as her servant to escape an arranged marriage and start a new life in Adoria, the New World. But to do that, she must join the Glittering Court.

Both a school and a business venture, the Glittering Court is designed to transform impoverished girls into upper-class ladies who appear destined for powerful and wealthy marriages in the New World. Adelaide naturally excels in her training, and even makes a few friends: the fiery former laundress Tamsin and the beautiful Sirminican refugee Mira. She manages to keep her true identity hidden from all but one: the intriguing Cedric Thorn, son of the wealthy proprietor of the Glittering Court.

When Adelaide discovers that Cedric is hiding a dangerous secret of his own, together they hatch a scheme to make the best of Adelaide’s deception. Complications soon arise—first as they cross the treacherous seas from Osfrid to Adoria, and then when Adelaide catches the attention of a powerful governor.

But no complication will prove quite as daunting as the potent attraction simmering between Adelaide and Cedric. An attraction that, if acted on, would scandalize the Glittering Court and make them both outcasts in wild, vastly uncharted lands…

RICHELLE MEAD is the #1 New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of the Vampire Academy series and its spin-off series, Bloodlines. Originally from Michigan, she now lives in Seattle, Washington.

"BANG" by Barry Lyga

Bang by Barry Lyga
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First off, I want to say that I love books that put your mind in a compromising position. (The ones that make you question your morals, ect...)

Bang is emotionally gripping and will leave your gut in a tangle. The plot was masterful. The characters well-developed, which is to be expected given the author.
With everything going on right now (specifically, gun violence) this is a must read.

I felt so bad for Sebastian and his family. Literally, I was in tears over the littlest things. And not because I'm an emotional reader, but because the way Lyga writes, so detailed, one can't help but to become invested.


Writing: 10+
Cover: 9
Characters: 10
Plot: 10
(With the exception of the cover...everything is gonna be a 10 right here. Sorry I'm not sorry.)



I would recommend BANG to anyone who enjoyed "The Hate U Give." (Though not as political, Bang can still hold it's own.)
RELEASE DATE: APRIL 18TH, 2017!!!!!!!!
