Guess what! I succumbed to weakness and ordered a copy of Leigh Bardugo’s latest contribution to her Grishaverse, a collection of short stories called The Lives of Saints.

And don’t worry if you have no idea what the Grishaverse is, I’ve included a bit about that as well. Continue reading →

After regaining the rights to her series, Lola Dodge is at last able to re-release this thrilling set of superhero novellas to the world!

(I’ll keep updating this post as more info is released!)  Continue reading →

IT’S HERE!!! If you’ve read ALARUM then you’ll probably understand why readers put in a request for a novella to give us more time with Fury & Riker. And Talis delivered! Keep reading for more on the novella plus an excerpt!
If you haven’t read ALARUM yet then check out my post here to read more! I strongly suggest reading the novella after you’ve read the main book since this is a companion story that takes place within a 3-year gap of time and will definitely spoil things (and might not make quite as much sense) if you haven’t read the book first.  Continue reading →
