What if the nine Fruit of the Spirit and the Seven Deadly Sins were locked in a battle for control?

Abandoned as infants, Tovi and her twin brother were raised by an eclectic tribe of warm, kind people in a treehouse village in the valley. After her brother’s sudden disappearance Tovi questions her life and her faith in an invisible King. Ignoring her best friend Silas’ advice, she decides to search for her brother in the kingdom on top of the mountain.

Above the cloud, the Council of Masters receives their orders. Tovi and her brother are the objectives. King Damien has a plan and Tovi is the key. The Council of Masters want her, but will she remain unscathed?

Amidst the glamour of the kingdom above the cloud Tovi is torn between her own dark desires and unanswered questions. It starts with a snake and a crown. When the ring is complete, will her life be over?

When starting this book I did notice that it took at least 1-3 chapters for the story to fully grab my attention- though it had a late start for me I found the character building to be amazing. The characters are all solid and realized as is the story itself.

Tovi really grabbed me with her need to learn more about herself as well as her twin brother. Her story filled with test and symbolisms of faith- I quickly become invested in the story and the journey of the characters as they discovered themselves and the author continued to build a world so realistic to me it jumped off the pages.

This is not a light read but rather one of those books that leaves you questioning yourself and your actions as well as those around you. It is a welcomed escaped from the world that is happening today. I strongly recommend this read for anyone looking for more than just a book.

You Are Not Alone

When all this all first started we thought we would be inside for two weeks and everything was going to be okay. Now 3 months later we are still home, scared and toilet paperless. The days are beginning to blend into one another and anxiety is at a all time high. We as bookworms have adapted and some have tackled their tbrs. Some have reorganized their book cases and such.

However some of us are having a very difficult time and it is important to know that you are never alone- I promise I am not following you.. We may not be in the same boat or dingy but we will face this storm together. I have always been transparent when it comes to my anxiety and depression. Through a lot self love and professional help I have been able to manage for the most part but lately its been so hard.

I personally have auto immune disorders and am currently still working. Finances are not the best as I am the only person in my household working. I have to admit that I myself am having a tough time dealing with this all and often find myself shutting down. I sometimes lack the energy to do anything including reading. Some days are better than others but some days… some days are the worst. I don’t have many IRL friends that I can turn to or reach out to and because of this I wanted to start a sort of support group for those of us that are struggling. I also wanted to list a couple of online resources should you need someone professional to reach out to. It is important to remember that you are not alone- nor are you broken or less then, your feelings are valid- all of them.

Mental Health – is a governmental run site with many resources including contact information for health professionals in your area.

https://www.mentalhealth.gov/

SAMHSA– Is the National Helpline for Substance Abuse and Mental Health. If you or someone you love is struggling with substance abuse this is a great resource to find treatment. There is also a hotline should you need a friendly voice to talk to.

https://www.samhsa.gov/

Turn2Me- Hosts free online support groups for anxiety, depression, stress management, suicidal thoughts and feelings, and a lot more.

Home

7 Cups of Tea– is one of the best places to find free one one one online support. Seven Cups of Tea offers support from peers, trained volunteers, and paid professionals.

https://www.7cups.com/

The future is so unclear and the times so uncertain but I think if we take care of one another and continue to do so once this is all over. In a world full of darkness and chaos I think we should be the light and love that help it all fade away. Should you ever need someone to talk to about anything at all my email is EatingBetweenthelinesinc@gmail.com and my insta handle is @_ebl_inc_ – Remember you are not alone and we can get through this together.

About The Book:

Title: AN UNSUITABLE LADY FOR A LORD (Scottish Lords and Ladies #1)

Lord Aaron Lyle has one hell of a choice: a bankrupt dukedom, or marriage to some simpering society miss so his spendthrift father can get his hands on her huge dowry. He won’t do it. He has a reputation to maintain, and besides, he’d rather run naked through the streets of London than marry anyone at all. Surely, there must be a third option.

Then Lady Crystal Wilding walks into his life, a bluestocking, full of subversive thoughts, who hates the notion of marriage even more than he does. He is intrigued…and, suddenly, he has an idea. He invites the totally unsuitable lady home on the pretext of presenting her as a possible match…but in truth, Aaron has something far more pleasurable in mind. For her part, Lady Crystal has her own reasons for going along with his harebrained scheme.

Imagine their shock when his highly proper family loves her and starts planning the wedding. Good lord. Now what?

Book Dream cast.

Sam Heughan will always get my vote for a hero for An Unsuitable Lady for a Lord.

Anya Taylor-Joy who was the actress in Emma would suit my Lady Crystal Wilding.

A Whole Lot Of Trouble Spotlight

I am thrilled to be hosting a spot on the A WHOLE LOTTA TROUBLE by Lea Hart Blog Tour hosted by Rockstar Book Tours. Check out my post and make sure to enter the giveaway!

About The Book: Title: A WHOLE LOTTA TROUBLE Author: Lea Hart Pub. Date: April 13, 2020 Publisher: Entangled: Brazen Formats: Paperback, eBook Pages: 150 Find it: Goodreads, Amazon, Kindle, B&N, iBooks, Kobo

Rick Blakely is enjoying being back on the family’s Texan ranch. After ten years in the Navy SEALs—and another working through the damage they caused—he’s grateful his days are no longer filled with chaos and danger. His peace and quiet ends the second the new vet pulls up to the ranch. Emily Conner has driven him up a wall since grade school, and their fights are legendary in these parts. Fate must be laughing at his expense—something he’ll be discussing with the man upstairs just as soon as he can tear his eyes away from Em’s very fine ass…

When Emily agreed to go out to the Blakely Ranch, she prayed fervently that her former nemesis was: A) not in residence, B) mute, or C) ugly as sin. Rick, of course, is none of these things, and she’s torn between wanting to throttle him and tear off his clothes to see whether what’s underneath is just as hot. Which will not happen. The man is nothing but trouble. The town is taking bets. Rick and Em are either going to end up in jail or in bed. Likely both. How many bottles of tequila, visits from the sheriff, and family meddling it takes to get there is a whole other question…

Check out Chapter 1 here! Book Trailer:

About Lea: I live in Southern California and write stories about sassy, smart women and the alpha men who fall for them. When I’m not writing, I take care of my daughter and try to take long walks. I believe in the power of a big glass of wine, the right pair of shoes, and a large dose of sarcasm.

Arrowheart by Rebecca Skye Blog Tour and Review

Title: ARROWHEART

Author: Rebecca Sky

Find it: GoodreadsAmazonTBD

Kiss the boys and make them cry…


The gods are gone. 

The people have forgotten them. 

But sixteen-year-old Rachel Patel can’t forget – the gods control her life, or more specifically, her love life.


Being a Hedoness, one of a strong group of women descended from Greek God Eros, makes true love impossible for Rachel. She wields the power of that magical golden arrow, and with it, the promise to take the will of any boy she kisses. But the last thing Rachel wants is to force someone to love her . . .


When seventeen-year-old Benjamin Blake’s disappearance links back to the Hedonesses, Rachel’s world collides with his, and her biggest fear becomes a terrifying reality. She’s falling for him – a messy, magnetic, arrow-over-feet type of fall.


Rachel distances herself, struggling to resist the growing attraction, but when he gives up his dream to help her evade arrest, distance becomes an insurmountable task. With the police hot on their trail, Rachel soon realizes there are darker forces hunting them – a group of mortals recruited by the gods who will stop at nothing to preserve the power of the Hedonesses – not to mention Eros himself, who is desperate to reverse the curse . . .


Rachel must learn to do what no Hedoness has done before – to resist her gift – or she’ll turn the person she’s grown to love into a shadow of himself … for ever.

Rachel Pattel isn’t your typical New York City teen. While other teens are worried about parties and what to wear Rachel is at war with who she is. She has the power to make any boy love her with one simple kiss and make them do her bidding however Rachel doesn’t want gift. She much rather be a normal girl with normal girl problems.

Rachel just wants to graduate high school and become a social worker and help kids who need it. Victims of neglect as she can relate to them. She doesn’t need her so called gift and would much rather pretend it doesn’t exist. Apparently the gods have something completely different in mind for her and her family.
Rebecca  Skye is able to call up the powers of the hedoness she writes of and make readers instantly fall for her and her words. I found Arrowheart not only original but amazingly addictive. From page one I was sucked in and it was almost like I was struck by Eros arrow.
Skye is able to fuse the real world and that of myths so effortlessly and create a world of love, teenage angst and magic that will leave you wanting more. The characters are well thought out and not only compliment each other but also the story itself making it all that much more magical.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a little love and laughter! It was love at first page turn for me!

Six Feet Under by Whitney Barbetti Book Review

Six Feet Under (Mad Love Duet Book 1) by [Barbetti, Whitney]

Title- Six Feet Under

Author- Whitney Barbetti

Genre- Romance

Purchase Link-Amazon

 

Six wasn’t the hero I needed.

But he was the man I wanted.

And it was my selfish craving, the desire to own him, that would be our undoing.

No one tells you that love is a disease. An infection that tears your heart apart, leaving you half the person you were before. A malady that leaves open wounds. An invisible disorder tracing scars in the places you couldn’t see if you weren’t looking for them.

I was sick, but love didn’t heal me.

Instead, it festered in my marrow, and drove me to unforgivable mistakes.

Six was my first mistake, but he wouldn’t be the last.

Six Feet Under is the first book in the Mad Love duet. Its sequel, Pieces of Eight will release May 9, 2018. If you’ve struggled with mental illness, self-harm, alcoholism, or drug use this story may be triggering for you. If you are still recovering or are susceptible to relapsing, please reconsider reading.

 

 

Have you ever fallen down a rabbit hole? You know the kind that you can.t seem to get out of but kind of don’t want to get out of because it feels like home? That is how I felt reading this novel. Barbetti is able to create a story that is sad and reckless and so addicting that you find yourself falling unbeknownst to you. You take a glance at the clock knowing that you shouldn’t only to realize that it is well past your bedtime and maybe time to put your book down but you can’t because Mira and Six have their hooks in you and need to know what will happen next. You need to know where this Mad Love will go and if it will heal anyone.

I can honestly say that I have never in my life felt so much for a character like I did with Mira. She is chaos, darkness and jagged but once you get past that and read on you realize that she is broken and through the cracks you can see she is light, strength, intelligence and yes beautifully imperfect. I told the author (yes I messaged her because she needed to know how big of an impact this story made on me) that we all have a little Mira in all of us. No one is truly one piece we all have been broken at some point and while we have been put together those cracks and missing pieces are what makes us.

Six, what can I say about Six? He is Mira’s Yang- yes he is the opposite of her but he also has some darkness in him. He is broken in his own ways and you don’t quite see it at first but just as much as Mira needs Six to weather the storm Six needs Mira to see the rainbow. Six may need be that swoony knight in shining armor of a book boyfriend but make no mistake that this man is everything you could ask for and never knew you needed.

Barbetti is able to write in such a way that you feel every word that you read. You feel pain, you feel love and you feel incomplete when you turn that last page because you know the story isnt over and you need to see it through.

Normally when reading a series or a duet I like to take a break and maybe pick up another book in between but not with Six Feet Under- I found myself downloading Pieces of Eight at 3 in the morning because I needed to know what becomes of Mira and Six.

If you are looking for a cookie cutter love story that makes you swoon with all the romance with in the pages this story is not for you however if you are looking for a love story that is realistic, dark and meaningful look no further. If you can find beauty in chaos this is the story for you.

I know this review may seem vague but that is because I do not want to spoil this book for you in any way because like Mira it is dark and chaos but also light and beauty and truly everything.

 

Whitney Barbetti writes character-driven contemporary and new adult romance novels, heavy on the emotional connection. Thanks to her passion for mental health awareness, she often writes characters who suffer from some type of mental illness, in an effort to help people understand them better and to rid the stigma that surrounds those who live bravely despite their struggles.

As a Navy brat, Whitney grew up all over the country, from California to Colorado and up and down the eastern United States. She currently resides in the western United States with her husband, two children, and two ridiculous cats.

The Wedding Witch by Sofia Bella Book Review

The Wedding Witch: a paranormal cozy mystery (The Fairyvale Mysteries) by [Belle, Sofia]

Title- The Wedding Witch

Author- Sofia Belle

Genre- Paranormal Cozy

Purchase- Amazon

Always a witch, never a bride…

A postcard-perfect village. A fairy-tale wedding…and a dead body?

In a town brimming with magic, the sight of a dead body does more than ruffle feathers. Especially for Belinda Bright, Fairyvale’s most sought-after wedding planner. This summer, she’s been tasked with planning “the” event of the year, which means one false move could ruin her business forever.

Unfortunately, when one of the bridesmaids turns up dead a few days before the wedding, Belinda inherits a whole new set of worries—not least of all the dark, handsome gentleman who says all the right things but shows up in all the wrong places.

As rumors fly, wedding jitters flourish, and whispers throughout the town grow louder, Belinda realizes that if she can’t find the murderer before the wedding bells chime, she’ll have a lot more to worry about than which side of the plate gets the soup spoon.

Can Belinda find her happily ever after, or will her fairy tale have a tragic ending?

Belinda Bright is The Wedding Witch of FairuVale and business is booming- People from near and far flock to to FairyVale for her to plan their wedding! After all any wedding planned by Belinda ends in happily ever after. That is until one of the bridesmaids of her latest and maybe biggest wedding of her careers ends up dead and their is evidence of foul play.

I found this story to be funny and charming all the while building a perfect mystery. The characters jump out of the pages and pull you in to the magical would of FairyVale where you never know where you will find magic!

Belinda is everything you want and need in a cozy mystery heroine add in her crazy friends and you have a spell for hi jinks and plenty of snark and sass to spice up this adorable cozy mystery! I really enjoyed the gang of FairyVale and plan on visiting again real soon!

Rating 4.5 out of 5 cupcakes- I would recommend this story to any one who enjoys a good laugh and mystery!

Hello! I’m Sofia Belle, a paranormal cozy mystery author who writes the books I like to read! The Fairyvale Mysteries are my debut series featuring witches, magic, mayhem!

Fangs and Fins By Amy McNulty Blog Tour and Review

Fangs & Fins (Blood, Bloom, Water Book 1) by [McNulty, Amy]

Title: FANGS & FINS A Paranormal Romance (Blood, Bloom, & Water Book Author: Amy McNulty
Pub. Date: May 1, 2018
Publisher: Snowy Wings Publishing
Find it: AmazonGoodreads

A dapper vampire. A sullen merman. Two heirs to a great conflict—and each needs to claim a beloved to become his kindred’s champion.


High school senior Ember Goodwin never had a sister, but after her mom’s remarriage, she now has two. The eldest is no stranger to her—Ivy is a witty girl in her grade who’s almost never spoken to the shy bookworm before—but she’s surprised to find the popular girl quite amiable. Their burgeoning friendship is tested, however, when Dean Horne, a pale, besuited charmer, shows interest in them both and plans to reveal his appetite for blood to the one who’ll stand by his side.


Seventeen-year-old Ivy Sheppard is tired of splitting her time between her dad’s and her mom’s, particularly when her dad uproots their lives to move them in with his new wife and step-daughter. Used to rolling with her parents’ whims, she tries to make the best of it and befriend her nerdy new step-sister. Her hectic life grows more unwieldy when she catches the eye of junior Calder Poole, whom she swears she sees swap well-toned legs for a pair of fins during a dip in a lake. Now she’s fending off suitors left and right, all while trying to get to the bottom of the strange happenings in her town.


The first book in the Blood, Bloom, & Water series sets family against family and friend against friend as an epic, ancient war comes to a head in a supposedly sleepy suburb.

Ember Goodwin has never been the center of attention and she kind of likes it that way. She much rather spend time with Journey, her best friend or reading. That is until the very cool girl Ivy Sheppard is forced into her world via marriage. Not only does Ember now have a new Stepdad and sisters she also seems to have a new admirer or two.

Ivy Goodwin, would rather not have to move into a strangers house, after all she has barely spoken to Ember or her Mother before their impromptu wedding during the summer and now she has to move in to a strange house. Add in the drama of senior year, homing coming and the fact that her new stepsister seems a little tightly wound and she can not wait for the school year to end.

The Sweet-

I am a huge fan of both vampires and mermaids like seriously I am obsessed so when I had the chance to read an Arc of book I simply moved all my tbr books down and made time and I am so happy I did!

The author is able to bring to life a paranormal world that combines all our favorites all while adding her own unique twist. The story itself is unlike an other books I have read. It is like Vampire Dairies and the new Siren show had a baby and that baby and decided to settle down in Riverdale! I know it doesn’t seem like it would work but it does in the best possible ways!

This book is the perfect book to start a series that quite honestly I can not wait for. The characters, the story line and the tension that  can be seen coming off the pages in waves are all wildly addicting!

Plus quite honestly, a hot Vampire Prince, A sweet sullen Mermaid  Price and a hot wise older Fae- what more can a girl ask for? I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves YA and paranormal reads!

Author- Lori Woods

Genre- Paranormal Cozy

Purchase Link- Amazon

A routine trip to the vet begins a wild adventure when Suzy Maycomber and her cat, Snowball, take a shortcut through the cemetery and find themselves in the mystical land of Nightshade, where magic exists and cats talk. Only the librarian, Rachel, the most powerful witch in Nightshade, can help Suzy get home.

One big problem: Rachel’s just been murdered.

Desperate to find her way home, Suzy reluctantly agrees to take Rachel’s place as Nightshade’s resident witch, where she’ll have access to the spell books that might hold the answers she needs. But her search for the truth draws Suzy ever deeper into danger. There is someone – or something – in Nightshade that doesn’t want Suzy to get home. Rachel’s murderer is prepared to kill again – and Suzy may be next.

If Suzy wants to get home, she’ll have to learn to be a witch first.

Suzy Maycomber just wanted to take her cat to the vet- typical day right?  She takes a wrong turn and thinks she can take a short only to end up in the town of Nightshade> There she discovers a world hidden away from non magical creatures and finds out that she herself has magic1

I enjoyed ths cute paranormal cozy a lot and found it to be clever and funny for the most part. The plot far fetched enough to make it interesting and the characters written with comical flare. The mystery of who killed Rachel and how that ties to Suzy and her adorable kitty snowball itself has great potential for the first book in the series.

Yes there are some bumps in the plot itself as well as some spelling grammer issues but honestly nothing that would make me stop reading the books. It was funny and had just the right amount of snark and mystery to make me want to continue the series.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a snark filled witchy read!

Growing up, Lori Woods secretly hoped she’d turn into a witch when she’d become twenty one.

Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. So much for saving all those broomsticks! However, Lori decided that she’d pour all her wishes for paranormal mystery and adventure into her books, and live vicariously through her characters instead.
