RELEASE DAY: Malum: Part 2 by Amo Jones



Malum: Part 2 
(The Elite King's Club book 5), 
a dark and emotional romance 
by Amo Jones is NOW LIVE!


Some girls don’t like pretty things.
Some girls like things that are destructive, and toxic. Things that fuel our bodies with adrenaline and bring our demons to their knees.
They say magic isn’t real, but it’s it the closest way to describe love? It doesn’t exist physically. It merely exists around us, within us, possessing our souls and making us do stupid shit. Shit like falling in love with a boy who knows how to rip my world apart and raise hell with a simple flick of his wrist. Their secrets are now mine. I’m not just in the middle of this game, I’m helping orchestrate it. Can the cries of my aching soul be enough to drown out the burning embers of my mistakes?
The mind strengthens the heart, roughing the edges to prepare it for war. This is a war I will not win.
This is a war of fate.

REVIEW TOUR: Haunted Melody by Alyson Santos



Haunted Melody: A Ghost Story, a hauntingly beautiful paranormal romance by Alyson Santos is NOW LIVE!




They say death is the end.

I thought so too until I learned it's just the beginning.

I'm so unsure how to rate Haunted Melody. I'm torn between a 3 and a 4 star rating. Honestly, Alyson Santos is usually a 5 star read for me. Her writing is lyrical. It's poetic. Even with this book. Her story telling is perfection. The blending of her words. The torment of Milo. His pain. I can't forget the actual lyrics either! This woman, she can write some insanely talented songs. Ones that I wish I could hear with Milo's gravely and gruff voice. Plus I have to say the entire storyline and twists in the book are fantastic ideas.

While this book had the signature feel of an Alyson Santos book, I was missing a few things. I loved the opening chapter but was a bit confused with what the actual story behind the house had to do with it being the landing zone for the dead. Did I miss a correlation here? I also spent the first 50% confused which really isn't a bad thing as that happens a ton lately with plot twists... I love a good surprise. Plus I really understand that we weren't supposed to know what was going on.

More than all that, I think my main issue is I didn't feel like I really got to know the characters. I felt like the character development was a bit off. Which, I feel horrible saying as I have loved every character from this author. I still can't think of Jesse without swooning. It also seemed like they were immediately in love. I'm all for some insta love when it's believable but this seemed too fast. I'm also aware that this is completely different from Miss Santos normal books. I was looking forward to that. I read a huge range of books and often skip from genre to genre because just romance is a bit too much love and happiness all the time (lol). I kind of wish she had stayed on the path of Grave Lady and not gone the love story route.

Anyway, at this point I'm rambling. It's hard to say you liked a story when you aren't sure if you did and I'm pretty much in the middle of the road. So much of it was good but it wasn't a fit for me. I will continue watching for this author. Her writing is truly beautiful and her stories are always unique.

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.









About Alyson Santos

I'm a writer, musician, and cat lover. I also have an alternative music obsession. Seriously, it's a real problem.
I write what needs to come out, whether it's pain, tears, or laughter. I write people and relationships, about the beauty and horror of what we do to ourselves and each other. I write Love. Vengeance. Compassion. Cruelty. Trust. Betrayal. Forgiveness. Darkness, and the incredible way humans destroy and heal each other.
I like to eradicate barriers, refusing to be confined by the laws of physics or limitations of reality. I will befriend a vast population of possibilities and introduce them in ways that might surprise you.

RELEASE DAY: Virginal Headlines by Candace Knoebel


Virginal Headlines, an all-new standalone Romantic Dramedy by Candace Knoebel is NOW LIVE!


Twenty-three-year-old Primrose Amberly just landed the job of her dreams—with Virago, a leading women’s romance blog. All the knowledge she had about sex, she’d learned by reading their articles. And anyone who knew her would laugh if they found out what her first assignment was. Even she did…before curling into a sopping mess on the floor.
She had one month to turn a player into a stayer. To make New York’s swooniest playboy fall in love with her enough to retire his pick-up lines. With a rap sheet of broken hearts a mile long, Grayson Pierce and his panty melting smile have been featured on the covers of countless magazines. He was also direct competition, an employee of Virago’s rival blog.
A story on the illustrious bachelor was a prize piece. A headline that would shake the social media masses and ignite her name in the blogosphere. But there was one tiny problem—Primrose was a virgin. Had barely even been kissed. Forget thirty days. She couldn’t nail this story in thirty years, especially if she wanted to keep her virtue intact. Could she?

Virginal Headlines was the first book that I have read by Candace Knoebel. It was amazing! This is one of those books that read like an amazing romantic comedy… who remembers The Ugly Truth? No, no… this isn’t the same storyline… what it is though is the same fun and wittiness, the lightness. I really was smitten with Grayson super quickly. I love me a good changed man and Grayson has changed from a sex-crazed manwhore to this good-natured fun man. Virginal Headlines is one of the sweetest books I’ve read in a while.

Prim and Grayson are just perfect together. They wit and fun banter between them that was hilarious and fun. Prim was so relatable. She’s my girl with her social fears and awkwardness… and here she is a reporter. She’s such a conundrum. Grayson is seriously the best! He might have been a playboy who’s enjoyed jumping from bed to bed and woman to woman… that’s all in the past. Prim has a way of making him rethink his actions and wanting to be better. Grayson’s consideration is incredibly attractive. I just adored him! 

I was ticked with Candace Knoebel’s writing. She’s fun and creative. She developed her characters deeply… even those secondary ones that I’m hoping we’ll find out more about soon! Her storyline was light in the drama but made me feel all goofy happy inside. I adored the movie references throughout and could see this book easily being turned into a romantic comedy itself.

MEET THE GIRLS OF LOVE BETWEEN THE HEADLINES
EXCERPT

Welcome, ladies. I was thrilled to learn you were willing to sit with me for an interview… especially considering how busy you all are with your blog Virago. And of course, your love life. Why don’t we start off with you telling us a little about yourselves.

 Poppy: *leans forward* Well, obviously I’ll start us off. My name’s Poppy, and I’m a blogger here at Virago. I like long walks down the vodka aisle and men that aren’t afraid of a woman that doesn’t want to commit. *puts her arm around Prim sitting next to her* This is Prim—my best friend and the star of Virginal Headlines. *points to Brinley* On the end is Brinley, our lead editor who is obsessed with a mysterious poet and painfully shy.

 Brinley: *shifts uncomfortably*

 Poppy: And on the other side of me is our boss Quinn. Feminazi. Man-Hater. An overall—

 Quinn: *clears throat* Thanks for that… enticing introduction, Poppy. *looks to interviewer* You’ll have to excuse her. Poppy’s somewhat rambunctious. Often times loud and without a filter. Oh, and—

 Poppy: Made of stardust and rainbows. *she winks*

 Prim: *giggling* Poppy’s the star of the next book in our series—Deadline To Date—where she’ll—

 Quinn: *places hand over Prim’s mouth* Don’t give it all away. Haven’t I taught you anything in the few months you’ve been with our blog? We’re here to promote your story *looks to interviewer* which releases on April 25th. *looks back at Prim* Stop it with that innocent, thoughtful heart of yours. Poppy doesn’t need any more air blown up her ass or her head will explode.

 Poppy: *snorts* This coming from the woman who ends up being the star of The Hate Report. A telling of a scorned woman forced to work with an old flame.

 Quinn: *turns red*

 Poppy: What? Did I give away too much… Quinn?

 Quinn: *glares at Poppy and then turns to Brinley* Brinley, why don’t you tell the interviewer about yourself in your own words. Anything to keep this one quiet. Lord knows she loves the sound of her own voice. *hitches a thumb in Poppy’s direction*

 Brinley: *eyes wide as everyone turns attention to her* Well, I… I guess I’m just… I’m me.

 Prim: *places hand over Brinley’s* She’s sweet, beautiful, and quietly clever. She also has a nose for talent and a beautiful voice.

 Brinley: *eyes widen further*

 Prim: I hear you sometimes singing to yourself behind the walls of your cubicle. You shouldn’t be afraid of your talent. Embrace yourself. Be proud.

 Brinley: I umm… well, I guess you’ll find out more about me when Quote To My Heart releases. I’m the last to go in the series.

 Poppy: Because you have horrible luck in the dating department. How many blind dates have you been on in the last month?

 Brinley: *squirms* Seven.

 Prim: *glares the shut up eyes at Poppy* She just hasn’t met her one yet. That’s all.

 Quinn: Working at Virago, it’s hard to find that ‘one’.

Which leads me to my next question—Virago… what does it stand for?

 Poppy: *snorts* That’s a loaded question.

 Quinn: I think I’ll take this one. Virago’s a word I fell in love with while in college. Historically, it was a title a woman could earn if they were exceptionally heroic, moral, and strong. If they became equal to the ideals of a man. Ideals that women have always carried, but have never been attributed. That’s what our blog stands for. We write about women, by women, for women. We tackle headlines on every front be it political or the typical celebrity gossip. A one-stop shop for the everyday woman.

 Poppy: We’re the counterpart to Stud—the leading men’s blog—where Prim’s new beau Grayson Pierce works. *Poppy eyes turn impish* And which is owned by he who shan’t be named. A blog that is a continuous thorn in our sides throughout the series.

 Interviewer: He who shan’t be named?

 Prim: Harrison Cunningham. He owns Stud and well… he used to…

 Quinn: Oh, for heaven’s sake. Just say it—he and I used to be a thing back in college. But all of that will be tackled in The Hate Report. Lord, grant me enough whiskey to get through the release of that book. All my secrets aired like dirty laundry.

 Poppy: *rubs hands together* Bring it on.

So, Love Between The Headlines… I’m sensing this a theme. Throughout these four stories, are we to learn of what goes on behind the scenes in the blogging world?

 Prim: In a nutshell, yes. Love is hard to find in the business we’re in. We’re constantly having to choose between love and our careers while trying to find a healthy balance for both. Being a journalist… a blogger… it isn’t always easy. Especially when the subject is about someone you care about.

 Poppy: *leans back* Don’t include me in that. I have a healthy balance. It’s called: No Strings Attached.

 Quinn: Yes. And we see how well you’ve done with that logic. Especially considering your reaction whenever Finley comes around.

 Interviewer: Finley?

 Prim: He’s Grayson’s best friend and, well, a complication in Poppy’s love life.

 Poppy: *scowls* More like a pit stain.

 Brinley: Honestly, I think she’s in love with him.

 Poppy: *glares down Brinley*

 Brinley: *curls into herself*

 Poppy: I’m not in love with him. I don’t even know what love is. But he, however, is in love with me. He made that very clear. Well, until he… *looks away, sad*

 Quinn: Next question.

Well, I can most definitely sense some tension when the word love is brought up. To wrap this up, can you tell the readers what they’re getting into? Are these standalones? Will we see all of you in every book? Are there any HEAs? Steam? Cliffhangers?

 Quinn: Wow with the firing off there, paparazzi. You know some of those cleverly inserted questions we can’t answer. We can’t give away the endings. Telling you if there’s an HEA or not is like reading the last page before starting the book.

 Prim: But, to give you some insight, there are definite HEAs. And, no, there are no cliffhangers.

 Poppy: But there is plenty of steam. I’d brag that you’d find it all in my story, but I’m feeling generous today. The steam alert is strong within this group of females. We know what we want, and we take it. And the men… *licks lips*

 Prim: *fans herself*

 Brinley: You’ll see each of us throughout the series. Some of our story will carry on through everyone’s book. They can each be read as a standalone, but it’s best to read in order.

 Poppy: Yeah. How else will you keep consecutive order of every one of Brinley’s failed dates?

 Prim: *puts arm around Brinley’s shoulder* Even the clouds have to give way to the sun at some point. You’re not a lost cause. Poppy’s just jealous that you have the emotional capability to put yourself out there.

 Poppy: *snorts*

 Quinn: And with that, I’ll say I think that about wraps it us for us, ladies. There’s still work to be done. Those posts aren’t going to write themselves. And, Prim, I need you in my office after this.

 Poppy: Ooooh. Someone’s in trouble.

 Quinn: *shoots a look to Poppy* I wasn’t finished. I need to see you after her. Brinley, try to keep the crying to a minimum today.

Okay then, well, thank you again for taking this time with me. I can’t wait to get my hands on your stories. I’m sure my readers will feel the same.

 Quinn: April 25th. Virginal Headlines. Steamy. Angsty. Funny. Be sure to grab your copy and find your inner Virago.

 Prim: Thank you so much for taking the time to read this interview. And, if you do pick up Virginal Headlines, I want to thank you for that as well. Without you, my story would remain letters pressed within pages, never given the chance to breathe life.

 Poppy: I’m just going to part by saying—you’re welcome for the shit show you just witnessed. Read our books to see more. And if you really want a good laugh, keep your eyes peeled for the release announcement of Deadline To Date coming this summer featuring none other than moi. Check out the author behind our stories’ Facebook page for more information.

 Quinn: Or sign up to her newsletter. You’re more likely to see her announcements in your inbox than relying on Facebook nowadays.

 Brinley: *gets up and leaves before anyone asks her anything else*

Kristen Granata tells just the story we all want for Tanner in The Other Brother. I think we’ve all either been that person or know a person that lives in the shadow of another people. This is Tanner’s life. He’s really struggled with it. He’s put his life and dreams on hold to support his family and here he is living in the shadow. I seriously understand his bitterness. Man do I get it. He feels defeated. Until Charlotte. I love the light that gets lit under him. I felt his story… beautifully.

Miss Granata wrote strait to my heart. She really gives us a story we can all understand and feel for. I feel like the entire story has come full circle. Tanner got a story that he seriously deserves. Granata develops her characters so beautifully… they are deep and layered. I feel so much positivity from the story. I loved finding the real Tanner under all his aloofness. While I love the development of the people in this book, what made me devour it was the drama… the suspense. I really love a book that feels so unputdownable! Great story! Keep em coming Kristen Granata!

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.




Exclusive Excerpt:

Charlotte

“Watch out!”

One of the football-playing boys jumped backwards to reach for his friend’s overthrown pass and crashed into my tray. My soda spilled all over my shirt, soaking the ends of my hair. Sauce from the pizza remnants on my plate smeared against my chest. All the boys shouted in unison, as if they were at a live football game, making me feel all the more horrified. So much for blending in.

“Nice throw, dipshit!” Mallory screeched to the boy who had thrown the football. “Come on. We’re going to be late.”

I picked up the empty cup from the floor and tossed it into the trash as I walked toward the exit. I took the door Mallory was holding open for me and walked outside. “Alright, how dumb do I look?”

“Dumb, no. Wet rat, yes.”

Great. We walked briskly down the path, attempting to make it to our building before Professor Ballard started calling attendance. Everyone would already stare at us for walking in after the lecture began; my soaked and sauce-stained shirt would only cause them to stare longer.

Just then, I heard the sound of footsteps hitting the sidewalk behind me. Clutching my purse, I spun around. Both confusion and curiosity collided in my mind.

Tanner Brooks was chasing after me.


Tanner



Mallory leaned in to Charlotte’s ear. “Keep walking.”



What the fuck did I ever do to Mal? I slowed to a walk beside Charlotte. She stiffened, keeping her gaze fixed straight ahead. “Gabe’s a nice guy, but he’s not exactly a gentleman.”

“What?” She turned her striking blue eyes toward me.

I tore my shirt over my head and held it out to her. “You’re going to be cold sitting in class with a wet shirt.”

Her eyes traveled down my torso. Now I had her attention. Girls were so easy. Flash a six-pack at them, and they start drooling.

“Uh … n-no. No thanks.”

No?

“That must be such a foreign word to you.” Mallory snickered.

“Fuck off, Mal.” I looked back at Charlotte, whose eyes were still glued to my body. Good. She was interested. “Charlotte, I’m Tanner.” I draped my shirt over her shoulder and offered her the slight smirk I knew girls loved. “It’s nice to meet you.”

I turned around before she could reject me again and strutted back in the direction of the cafeteria. Let her get a look at my ass as I walk away. It’s a fan favorite.

About Kristen Granata:

Kristen Granata is a teacher by day, and an (exhausted) author by night. Known for writing emotional New Adult Romance, she loves creating realistic, flawed characters who struggle through the darkest parts of life and come out stronger on the other side. Kristen is a self-proclaimed "bitter cynic trapped in a hopeless romantic's body." Her characters pack a sarcastic punch, make you laugh, make you think, make you ugly cry - and they will always live happily ever after. If you're a lover of moving, inspirational reads, Kristen's your girl.

Kristen was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1986. She moved to Staten Island with her family and lived there for almost twenty years. There she attended community college and became a teacher. Despite her passion for writing, and despite her professors strongly suggesting she become a writer, she took the more sensible route (bitter cynic, remember?) After going through a difficult divorce when she was only twenty-nine, Kristen returned to writing. The raw story that poured out of her led her to publish her debut novel, Collision, in March of 2018. Soon after in August 2018, the sequel, Avoidance, was published. Her third novel, The Other Brother, releases on April 23rd.

Kristen openly shares her mental health struggles with depression and anxiety with her Instagram following. Her message is a beacon of hope to anyone who is suffering: You are not alone. She delicately weaves this theme into her writing, and demonstrates the ability of love to heal trauma.

When she's not teaching or writing, Kristen is reading, Instagramming, indulging in her messy love affair with popcorn, and annoying her wife and step-daughters by incessantly singing along to The Greatest Showman soundtrack.
