**RELEASE BLITZ WITH REVIEW And Giveaway** And The Creek Don't Rise by R.M. Gilmore

 




Synopsis:

Small town girl, Lynnie Russell, wakes after a late night celebrating her twentieth birthday, naked and caked in blood. As memories rush back to her, the horrifying reality of what she’s done—what she’s become—rips her soul to shreds.

To keep those she loves safe, Lynnie must race to unearth the source of the death magic inside her—discovering an ancient familial secret Nana and Mama had kept her whole life.

Understanding her place in the balance of the universe—exacting vengeance on those most vile—Lynnie grows desperate for the power of knowledge.

When an unexpected ally offers help, there’s no way she can refuse. Choosing to leave the home she’s known since birth, Lynnie will travel to the ends of the earth in search of the truth. Not only for herself, but for the future of her bloodline.



Excerpt

Hattie walked me to the door and made sure Garret was there ready for me before leaving in a hurry. She’d wanted more from me than I could give. I’d tell her sorry on a day I wasn’t recovering from second-degree murder. Or would it be manslaughter? I’d slaughtered a man and I didn’t mean to do it. Maybe I could claim insanity. I didn’t know anything about the law but what I watched on Law & Order, and not one of those episodes covered accidental creatures killing under a bright blue moon.

“I made your bed up, Lynn. I got some pot roast in the cooker on the counter if you’re hungry.” He tried—hard as it was for him to be nurturing. I wasn’t even angry with him anymore for leaving me in the hospital. He was hurting more than he could handle. It rolled off him like heat on the pavement. There wasn’t anything I could do for him. I was hurting enough for the both of us. 

“I’m fine. I just wanna sleep. I need to lay down a bit.” I walked past him, head down, to my bedroom at the end of the hallway and shut the door.

The second I was alone, my cheeks flushed and my bottom lip shook, but I downright refused to cry again. I swore to myself then that I would not cry over any of it until morning. I would sleep, eat, and then figure out what in the hell I was gonna do with myself.

I laid back, pulled the covers up over my head, and tried not to think anymore. Garret rustled around in the kitchen. I knew there’d be a mess for me to clean in the morning. He didn’t cook much, which was fine with me because I tended to have more work when he did the cooking than when I did.

I listened to my brother fumbling around in cabinets and drawers and tried to sleep. My eyes closed, breathing slowed, heart took a second to catch up. Blackness took over.

I startled awake, limbs frantic, reaching out for anything to stop me from falling. I swallowed hard and flipped the covers off my head. The yellow light outside had turned pale blue, casting shadows over my room.

My eyes focused on a deep black figure in the corner. I gasped, and choked, and blinked at the thing. My stomach dropped six inches when the shape moved out of the shadow and I could see what it was.

Tonya’s Review

5 Stars

 

This is a complete stand alone.

What would you do if you’re whole life changed on your 20th birthday?  And not all for the better.  You learn your life isn’t yours to live how you want.  All your hopes and dreams…

GONE!

Your life isn’t yours anymore.

You have a purpose and no control over it.

Welcome to the life of Lynnie Russell.

There is so much more that happens, but I would hate to give anything away.

If you’re looking for a different type of paranormal read, this is the book for you.

Gahhh!  I don't even know where to start with this review.  
Rachel Van Dyken is one of my favorite authors.  But I am ashamed to admit that I have never read M. Robinson before this.  That is going to be changing though.  I need her mafia books ASAP!
This books shows that the villian isn't always the villian and the hero isn't always a hero.  
There is so much that happens between Romeo, Eden, and Tristian.  I don't want to go into it and give anything away though. Sorry, not sorry.
You'll just have to read this!  You'll love it.
The story was so fantastic, I couldn't put it down.

Tonya's Review
5 Stars

This is a quick novella for Grandma Dori's 90th "surprise" birthday party.  Now you know that she knows all about it because, well, Dori knows everything.
What I liked most about this story is that each chapter is the point of view of one of her great grandkids.
If you love the Bailey's, you'll love this too!

**COVER REVEAL** A Co-Worker's Crush by Piper Rayne

 

Release Date: January 5

Three tattoo guns.

Five motorcycle tires.

Countless T-shirts.


That’s what I lost before I realized nothing good comes from dating my co-workers. 


Usually, I don’t have much self-control. So, the fact that Frankie Grant is a hot, talented tattoo artist means it’s a damn miracle she hasn’t already been in my bed. But nothing can happen between us because Frankie comes with Jolie, her young daughter, and a crap load of baggage from her ex. And those are two things I never entertain.


Anyone who knows me—the screwed up foster kid from the wrong side of the tracks—knows I’m not the guy you take home to meet your parents, let alone your kid. But I also know what it’s like not to have parents, so things get complicated when Jolie asks me to be her daddy.


I might as well just slash my own tires now.

**RELEASE BLITZ WITH REVIEW** Nobody Knows by Lani Lynn Vale

 


Nobody Knows

Lani Lynn Vale

Release Date: November 10, 2020

 

About the Book

All he ever wanted was to matter to someone.

 

What he didn’t know was that he did matter to someone.

 

Someone that worried about him every single day that he was gone.

 

***

 

Malachi Gabriel Gnocchi was missing for two years. Thanks to a mission gone wrong, not only had he been captured, but his best friend along with his fellow teammates had been taken, too.

 

He spent two years in hell, hoping and praying that one day he’d get to go home.

 

And one day he does. Only, he isn’t the same person that left. Every single thing that made him Malachi is no more.

 

***

 

Sierra started writing to soldiers overseas through the soldier pen pal program when she was in high school. Years later, she had no idea that the one soldier that she’d been paired up with in the very beginning would be the one man that would change her world eight years down the road.

 

When the letters from her soldier stopped, she knew that something bad had happened.

 

When they started back up again two years after the last letter, she thought that someone was playing a joke on her.

Only, that joke wasn’t a joke at all.

 

The man on the other end of those letters is a man that’s dying slowly from the inside out.

 

He’s a living, breathing, mess and there’s only one thing she can do to help him.

 

Write him back and hope that she can bring him back from the edge.

Tonya’s Review

5 Stars

 

This is the eleventh book in the SWAT 2.0 series.  They are stand alones, but you will want to read them all because they are all so great!

I’ve wanted Malachi’s book since we met him in Luca’s book.  Sierra and he are perfect for each other.

There are so many “coincidences” that happen in their story.  I don’t want to say what though, because it would give too much away.

I absolutely love both of the characters and this story.

Grans is awesome and played a huge part.

I am worried about Zac now though.

Is it December now so I can read Saint’s story?  I mean I put up my tree, so that means we’re skipping the rest of November right?

  Blurb: Coy Mason is a jerk. If there is one truth that Bellamy Davenport knows, it’s that. Hands-down. (Well, that and the fact that she didn’t mean to hurt him. Physically. Coy can’t be hurt emotionally because he doesn’t have a heart.) Coy is not just the small-town, literal boy-next-door. He’s a heartbreaking, womanizing, mischief-making (and delicious) man and was all of those things well before he became a hot-shot country music sensation. He’s a dream standing in her doorway with no shirt, messy hair, and a ‘Do you wanna?’ grin. But he’s also a nightmare for her heart and she knows it. Their enemies-to-lovers relationship always ends the same way—heavy on the enemies, light on the lovers. So why is she still standing there?  
  About the Author: USA Today and Washington Post bestselling author Adriana Locke lives and breathes books. After years of slightly obsessive relationships with the flawed bad boys created by other authors, Adriana has created her own. She resides in the Midwest with her husband, sons, and two dogs. She spends a large amount of time playing with her kids, drinking coffee, and cooking. You can find her outside if the weather's nice and there's always a piece of candy in her pocket.
