Probably one of my favorite books to date! The mix of poetry and musical references made my heart pound to the beat and my soul sing. Cliché, I know, however, I sometimes forget how much I love poetry and how the simplest poem, can induce such emotion from a person. Thank you for all the feelings! It was a great ride!

He’s my new obsession and the key to avenging my people. René is the only one who cares about the dead, because he knows deep loss. We’re kindred spirits. I’ll give him relief from his pain, and he’ll give me everything – including his life.
René
Three years of being steeped in death, booze, and pills have finally caught up with me. I think I might be cracking apart. Who is the otherworldly woman that visits me in the darkness? She’s the new addiction I can’t give up; and she’s left her mark on me – literally.
She’s used to cleaning houses and getting down in the grime. But the dirt she just dug up could kill.
Miranda Diggs longs for absolution. But when she tries to purge bad memories and accidentally sends a motel up in flames, the regret-filled young woman seeks peace by checking into a mysterious remote resort. Driven by insatiable curiosity and venturing beyond “No Trespassing” signs, she’s horrified after stepping into a rundown barn that the doors slam shut… and lock.
Seeking a way out, Miranda pries open a trapdoor and follows the tunnel beneath into an eerie game that seems to know all her closest-held secrets. And as the trials morph from subtle emotional prods into life-or-death situations, her fight against the ever-closing walls threatens to become fatal.
Will her phobias push her mind past the point of no return?

In 1876 Philadelphia, Benjamin Grimm knows real life is much like the theater—people play their parts, hiding behind the illusion of their lives and never revealing their secrets. When he reunites with his childhood friend Eleanor Banneker, his delight turns to dismay. On learning she has been under a spell for the past seven years, forced to live as a servant in her own home, he realizes how sinister some secrets can be.
Ellie has spent the long years since her mother’s death under her stepmother’s watchful and unforgiving eye. Bewitched and hidden in plain sight, it seemed no one could help Ellie escape. Not even her own father, likewise bespelled. When she encounters Ben one evening, he seems immune to the magic that binds her. Her hope rekindles along with their friendship.
But time is running short. If they do not find a way to break the curse before midnight on New Year’s Eve, both Ellie and her father will be bound forever.
Once Upon a Time, Christine Norris thought she wanted to be an archaeologist but hates sand and bugs, so instead, she became a writer. She is the author of several speculative fiction works for children and adults, including The Library of Athena series, A Curse of Ash and Iron, and contributions to Gaslight and Grimm and Grimm Machinations. She is kept busy on a daily basis by her day job as a school librarian in New Jersey. She may or may not have a secret library in her basement, and she absolutely believes in fairies.

When I first saw him, I loved him. He became my everything, my true north. But both of us are broken. The trauma from our past is bigger than our love. He pushed me away when I needed him most. Our love was an affliction that I may never find the cure for.
“Every time I look at you, I remember what happened that night,” Lyle
I’m the reason why he almost died that night. If it wasn’t for…no, I’m too afraid to say it. The memory is too fresh. I’m not worthy of him. Perhaps I’m like my father, after all. Why do we hurt those we love the most? This affliction called love is painful and I’m the one who brings him the most pain, but I can’t stay away because he is my drug of choice.
Afflicted Love is the first book in the Rhythm & Heart Series, a M/M romance by dark contemporary romance author, Autumn Sand. If you like raw emotions, steamy sex scenes and gorgeous men, then this is the series for you.
Autumn Sand was born and raised in New York City. She’s always had an interest in writing from an early age, penning her first book when she was in the 4th grade. In 2015, she made the leap into the self-publishing world. With over 13 books published, she is excited to write many more. She enjoys hanging out with friends, reading a good book or listening to an audiobook and, of course, writing. She’s known for her sarcastic humor and caring nature. Her favorite drink of choice is a Jack Daniels and coke with a twist of lime.
In early San Francisco, women are scarce, and attitudes are accepting of just about anything. Amidst this laissez-faire lifestyle, Suzette de Massey blows into the city like wildfire. Isaac Stark and Walter James are instantly drawn to the talented French beauty. Opposite in many ways, the two of them have been the best of friends for years. They owe their lives to one another, and their mutual affection runs deep. Suzette is torn between Walter, whom she thinks is a gentleman, and Isaac, whom she takes to be a roughneck. She has a lot to learn, but she knows what excites her. Men. Together. Suzette kindles the fire that has smoldered between Isaac and Walter for years, and each of them together makes a combustible, passionate threesome. She is a woman with secrets. Unfortunately, when Suzette’s dark past reappears to haunt her, no one is safe. This romance, intended for mature readers, sizzles with passion and will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Born and raised near the beaches of southern California, Ariella Talix traveled the world extensively and then found her true home in the Midwest. She has a second-degree black belt in Karate and has been a professional artist for many years. Her work is displayed in countries all over the world.
