Cover Reveal: Fire Country (Country series #1) by David Estes

I am so excited to be part of the cover reveal for David Estes newest book. I am really thankful that I already got the chance to read this book, so I will also share my review with you. Here is the cover for Fire Country: I think the cover really fits the story and it is really stunning! I like the fact that even though there is a cover model on the cover we don’t get to see her face. The background really looks awesome and it fits my impression of how the world looks perfectly. A bit more […]

When Brimstone called, she always came.” In general, Karou has managed to keep her two lives in balance. On the one hand, she’s a seventeen-year-old art student in Prague; on the other, errand-girl to a monstrous creature […]

Review: Big Bad Bite by Jessie Lane

Big Bad Bite by Jessie Lane I got an ARC copy for review Blurb from Goodreads (be aware the blurb contains mild spoilers): January 28, 2013 Release Scheduled… What would it be like to live in a world where you are considered abnormal to those who are above the norm?

She’s been smothered by her over protective family so that no one learns […]
