Happy Monday! This week I will be bringing you books from our annual camping trip to Collins Lake. The trip has not started off very pleasant. At 4am this morning hubby woke up to help the men of the group start cooking a brisket on the Treager. This of course woke up all three pups and sent them off on a wild romp around the trailer. I’m sure that brisket will taste amazing, but right now I am a bit bitter. They are all very lucky coffee calms the savage beast.

Under Every Sky

FREE for a limited time
UNDER EVERY SKY is a sapphic young adult urban fantasy book with high stakes, rich world-building, and compelling characters. It is the debut novel from Kenzie Brooks, with the sequel anticipated in early 2024.
Seventeen-year-old Maeve Barnes is poised on the brink of freedom — from her city, her past, and her unruly magic. Mere weeks from now, she will be on a plane bound for London and well on her way to starting a nice, ordinary life for herself.
But luck has never been on Maeve’s side. A beautiful stranger appears with a dire warning: the Shadow King is coming. All Maeve’s carefully laid plans for her future are put on hold when the shadowy demon crashes through the wards of the city, attacking her family and churning long-buried secrets to the surface.
In the days that follow, three things become abundantly clear. One, the Elder Council is useless. Two, Hanna — the caustic and evasive stranger — knows more than she is letting on. And three, someone inside Leto is colluding with the Shadow King to bring death and destruction within the city walls.
Amidst a flurry of unlikely alliances, near misses and heartbreaking realizations, Maeve must come to terms with her magic, her resentment toward Leto, and the possibility that she won’t make it to London, after all.
