Robbed of her song, Lira has until the winter solstice to deliver Prince Elian’s heart to the Sea Queen or remain a human forever. To punish her daughter, the Sea Queen transforms Lira into the one thing they loathe most-a human. Until a twist of fate forces her to kill one of her own. With the hearts of seventeen princes in her collection, she is revered across the sea. Princess Lira is siren royalty and the most lethal of them all. Title: To Kill a Kingdom by Alexandra Christo

The action sequences are well paced and fun to read and the ending has a kind of "Here we go again" theme which I quite liked.ĭo you know this girl?. Fast, schlocky and gritty, Clone Johnny is an arsehole but an engaging arsehole nonetheless with his own brand of rugged charisma. This opening story reads much like a 80's sci-fi movie. Except the clone isn't going down quietly. He's a clone of Johnny and now the doctors want to put him to sleep like a dog. Johnny Pharoah: Johnny is a hitman who's just woken up from a medically induced coma. Like with a lot of anthology series, I'll go through each story individually and give you a quick capsule review. Voices from Punktown is an anthology series much in the vein of the original Punktown and Punktown: Third Eye series and has the same overall theme: short stories using the city planet of Paxton AKA Punktown as a backdrop. I've pretty much read nearly all of Thomas's work to date, but I've found his Punktown work to be the superior in terms of design, narrative, characters and tone. In fact it was on the recommendation of Mieville himself on the cover of Deadstock that got me onto reading Thomas's work in the first place. Next to China Mieville, Jeffrey Thomas was the other gateway writer that got me into New Weird fiction. As an adventure story, the book combines action, suspense, and humor. Poppy soon finds her own way from cowardice to courage when she sets out on a quest to find her family a new home. Ocax pounces on Ragweed, killing him instantly. Poppy listens to Ragweed's goading about her fearful submissiveness, then watches in horror as Mr. Although warned by her officious father not to leave home without the owl's permission, Poppy sneaks out one night with her boyfriend, Ragweed. Ocax, and, in exchange, he has promised to protect them from porcupines, animals that the mice know only from the owl's alarming description. Ocax the owl rules the territory where Poppy, a young deer mouse, lives with her large, extended family.

Pretty Little Mistakes is a Gamebook novel written by Heather McElhatton in the second-person and released on May 1, 2007. Become a mother, mistress, doctor or drug dealer. You have two options - go to college or travel the world - and then keep on choosing. It focuses on you, the unnamed Yankee female protagonist, making the decision of a lifetime after high school. But be warned, choose wisely or face the disastrous consequences of your actions that may even lead to your untimely demise (well at least in the book anyway). However in this book, if you screw up, you can go back and start all over again. What do you want to be when you left school? In Real Life, if you make a mistake, there's no turning back. Sure some of the writing could be better, and she could really use a couple rounds of editing but those things were easily overlooked because this is a self-published, first time book and I loved it. This is Lane Whitt’s first book from what I can tell and she does a pretty good job of sucking in the reader and giving them a nice little emotional roller-coaster. (Ps feel free to send me a friend invite if we aren’t friends!) I finally found a book that combines two of my favorite things: werewolves and reverse harem. If you’re my friend on Goodreads you’ve probably seen all the books I’ve been gobbling up. Ok so, obviously I’m on a huge reverse harem kick. What will happen when she finds out the secrets they keep? They may be more connected than they all thought when secrets about Kitten begin to surface as well. When Kitten is at her lowest point and thinks she can’t carry on, she meets an extraordinary group of men who welcome her into their home and their hearts, showing her more kindness than she has ever known. Genre: Young Adult- Paranormal, Werewolves, Shifters, Romance, Thriller, New Adultĭescription: Abandoned as a baby and forced to grow up way too fast, Kitten has learned to live and survive by her own unique code. Title & Author: Finding My Pack by Lane Whitt Until then, Anna and Kaidan must put aside the issues between them, overcome the steamiest of temptations yet, and face the ultimate question: is loving someone worth risking their life? It soon becomes clear that whatever freedoms Anna and the rest of the Neph are hoping to win will not be gained without a fight. When an unexpected lost message from the angels surfaces, Anna finds herself traveling the globe with Kopano, son of Wrath, in an attempt to gain support of fellow Nephilim and give them hope for the first time. And all the while there's Kaidan Rowe, son of the Duke of Lust, plaguing her heart and mind. Haunted by demon whisperers, Anna does whatever she can to survive, even if it means embracing her dark side and earning an unwanted reputation as her school's party girl. Anna Whitt, daughter of a guardian angel and a demon, promised herself she'd never do the work of her father-polluting souls. Ann Martin (The Babysitters Club series) and Laura Godwin create a witty, intriguing tale, illustrated with humor and a clever eye for detail by Brian Selznick. Annabelle is a heroine with integrity and gumption. The Doll family is reserved and somewhat prim, even though they occasionally break into '60s tunes like "Respect" in their sing-alongs. The Funcrafts are reckless and raucous, with fearlessness born of their unbreakable plastic parts. The relationship between the two doll families, one antique, one modern, is hilariously, wonderfully drawn. And when the "Real Pink Plastic" Funcraft family moves in next door, the Doll family's world is turned upside down-in more ways than one! Fans of The Borrowers and Stuart Little will love this exciting story of adventure and mystery. Her cautious family tries to discourage her, but Annabelle won't be stopped, even though she risks Permanent Doll State, in which she could turn into a regular, nonliving doll. And when she discovers Auntie Sarah's old diary, she becomes positively driven. After all this time, restless Annabelle is becoming more and more curious about her aunt's fate. Nothing much has changed in the dollhouse during that time, except for the fact that 45 years ago, Annabelle's Auntie Sarah disappeared from the dollhouse without a trace. Annabelle Doll is 8 years old-and has been for over 100 years.
Her latest children’s novel, The Christmas Pig, was published in 2021.
