'Lies of The Wicked' by B.L. Lewis is the Must-Read Debut Fantasy of the Year

Featured log post banner Lies of the wicked

Hi there This is Quills and today I am pretty excited. I wanted to write about this amazing book that is going to be published this year. It's a young adult book with adventurous themes. there are witches and demons and a brewing rebellion so I can say this is going to be pretty great story.

I have been trying to write for like a week about this but life happens sometimes and sometimes mind and body doesn't coordinate with you to finish your tasks. Anyway now I finally have time and the much needed energy to write this blog post announcing I am part of my first ever Street Arc Team.

The genre of the book is Paranormal Romantasy. I have to say I am very excited to be part of this arc and street team. This is the book for a debut author and the concept, the storyline it's all pretty amazing. I am all about supporting debut authors and help them make a mark in the world.

Let's see the Blurb shall we:

"He’d left nothing but breath between their bodies. She tried to move, but he held her tighter. 'Stay.'”

The noise in Thessa's head is loud, but her forging hammer is louder.

Thessa Skiafer is a young witch and bladesmith, with a secret to keep. Living in a realm guarded by Elemental soldiers, makes this a very dangerous truth to hold. Perhaps that’s why she suffers with anxiety; she lives in a world she does not belong in.

When a demon uncovers her lies, he offers her sanctuary in return for joining his rebellion. Though she’s reluctant to fight, she’s quickly captivated by his magic.

After a brutal attack against him, her trust blooms alongside her feelings. Thessa learns the price of freedom, as well as love, and fighting for both will either kill or complete her.

Here is the little snippet inside the book prologue;

I was so enthralled with the artwork it was pretty neat and mysterious. This is the kind of work that attracts me in the books to be honest. The artwork and Book cover is designed by @aethrasticdesigns.

A Critical Lens on 'Hunting Adeline' by H.D. Carlton: Exploring the Disturbing Themes | A Review

I kept delaying writing the review because I had to remember it and didn't want to do that. This 2nd book of Cat and Mouse duet is the story of a human trafficking survivor. This book is a huge TRIGGER WARNING . Kindly proceed with caution. I even got traumatized after reading it. So to explain the synopsis; Adeline (the main character) got kidnapped at the end of the first book and sold to some people who groomed her for some very rich and powerful clients. Almost half of the book is based on Adeline surviving the worst situations possible for a woman. Adeline had one advantage someone was fervently searching for her, and eventually, Zade managed to rescue her after four agonizing months. The scene when Zade finds her and she just could not believe it. She crumbled to her knees thinking she was hallucinating. After Zade brings her home she struggles so hard to process her trauma. She learns to fight to take control of her life. She gets close to her mother. She hates h...

I just finished On Wings of Blood arc....and now I am here to write the review. the book is written by Briar Boleyn and Thank you to Netgally and the author for this arc. iSo, let's start the review BLURB I didn't sign up for this. A half-fae in a school of highblood vampires? That's a recipe for torment. I'm Medra Pendragon—last of the dragon riders, or so they tell me. Funny thing is, there are no dragons left. Not a single one. But somehow, that hasn't stopped the vampires from deciding I'm worth capturing. Now I'm stuck at Bloodwing Academy, where the highbloods run everything and blightborn like me? We're just blood in their veins, pawns in their games. But that's not even the worst part. Enter Blake Drakharrow. Cold, arrogant, and way too gorgeous for his own good. He's been tormenting me since the moment we met, and now, thanks to some ancient ritual, we're betrothed. He acts like h...

Today is a good day because it's cloudy and windy with a chance of slight rain....and nothing puts my mood better than a chance of rain and wind. anyway let's get started!! BLURB At Bloodwing Academy, blood is currency, but a dragon's legacy is priceless–and as dangerous as fire. I thought surviving my first year in Bloodwing's deadly halls would be enough. I was wrong.

I'm bluffing my way through every encounter, trying to keep everyone from realizing that I'm not the one pulling the dragon's strings. And then there's Blake Drakharrow. I thought he was on my side, that I might even be able to trust him. But he b...

Booktok made me Read Haunting Adeline | A Review

Spoilers ahead!! ( Proceed at your own risk) Haunting Adeline book is written by H.D Carlton . The story starts as Adeline relocates to her Nana's enchanting house located in Seattle. The author paints a beautiful picture of the stunning old Victorian residence perched on a cliff, surrounded by lush forests on one side. The mysteriously amazing atmosphere instantly captivated me, as I have a deep fondness for haunting manors in the backdrops of the storyline. This sets the stage for a promising journey right from the very first chapter . So Adeline meet with her best friend, Daya , who playfully encourages her to let loose and have some fun. Daya, leads a dream life as a top-class hacker, associated with a vigilante organization. While she keeps certain aspects of her work a secret from Adeline due to their classified nature, she remains a pillar of support and assistance in every way possible.
