Book Blitz: The Dragon Favorite – Onika Howdyn

ramblingmads

The Dragon Favorite is the first book in a dark fantasy duology about broken promises, forbidden magic, and hopeless hearts with a strong focus on motherhood and navigating the treacherous waters of postpartum depression (oh, and dragons of course).

The Kickstarter campaign runs until October 5th. Both standard and illustrated versions will be available along with bookish goodies and some pretty awesome bonus rewards.

The illustrated version will not be published outside of Kickstarter.

WHAT YOU’LL FIND INSIDE:

  • Robust world-building and lore…
  • A mother’s struggle with mental health…
  • Dark themes and equally dark villains…
  • Forbidden love and loyalty…
  • Spicy yet poetic adult themes…
  • An underground realm of magic and its wielders…
  • Reading between the strands of fate and prophecies
  • Dragons… (that’s a given)

Welcome to Jöro…

…a land once teeming with the majestic presence of dragons, known as the Draughtrìnd, now reduced to ashes by the insatiable greed of a malevolent king. Though the war between man and dragon has faded into the past, the lingering aversion towards magic and its wielders remains.

In the river city of Rau, Amalya dreams of adventure beyond her father’s cozy farm. When she stumbles upon a wounded dragon with the farmhand, Wesley, her dreams of adventure take flight. As the years pass, love and family gradually fade that memory into the background of her life, becoming the only remaining beacon of hope.

Now, Amalya finds herself trapped in the clutches of depression, forced to observe the vestiges of her joy in the eyes of her son. The realization that she will never genuinely reclaim that joy plunges her further into the depths of despair.

When a mysterious man arrives to help on the farm, Amalya feels an unexplainable sense of familiarity. Could he be her only chance to break free from the torment that has haunted her since motherhood? And what consequences must she face to reclaim her light?

American Graveyard

Publication Date: September 13, 2024

Genre: Horror/Anthology

The six twisted morality tales range in tone and subgenre from supernatural to splatterpunk, and shine a light on the not-so-hidden horrors of suburbia, the American Graveyard.

The Lake Monster: Denny Rose is an actor, at least that’s what he tells people. After his failed Hollywood experiment ends, he returns home to care for his ailing grandfather, who is acting stranger than usual.

Cat Scratch Fever: Catherine Martino has always skated through life off her good looks, but when the vain young woman develops a mysterious rash, her comfortable life is altered forever. This skin-crawling morality tale is based on a true story.

Flight Simulator of the Gods: When Tyler learns his flight simulator impacts the reality around him, the high school bully becomes a god overnight, taking revenge on the people he feels wronged him.

Elf Off the Shelf: When six-year-old Jason sneaks downstairs on Christmas morning, the elf on the shelf goes rogue to punish the impatient, naughty child. Will Santa Claus make it in time, or will Jason make the ultimate naughty list?

The Darkest Thoughts: Megan’s life was perfect. She had her dream job and the perfect husband in Luke. Their intense love is tested when a detective from Luke’s past appears, and as his violent history is revealed, Megan must choose between the man she loves and doing what’s right.

Vicious Luna: An Enemies to Lovers Wolf Shifter Romance (Shadowed Heirs Book Four)

Publication Date: September 17, 2024

Genre: PNR/ Shifters

  • Fated Mates
  • PNR (Wolf Shifters)
  • Enemies to Lovers
  • Forced Proximity
  • Hostage Situation
  • Strong FMC who takes no shit
  • Morally grey MMC
  • Primal play
  • Secrets & Lies

I usually dance on bars, not find myself waking up behind them.

I’m in a cell, captured by the enemy that has been hunting my kind for the past decade. They’re holding me hostage to use for leverage in their sick extermination effort, forcing me to live through my worst nightmare and subjecting me to unspeakable horrors. While a lesser woman would give up, I’ll stop at nothing to find a way to escape this place, even if it means crossing a few lines.

The guy who’s keeping me under lock and key is stone cold, but there’s no mistaking the way he looks at me. As much as he hates himself for it, he wants me, and that’s something I can work with.

Little by little, I’ll let him get closer. I’ll make him believe I’m playing his game while setting a honey trap he can’t help but get caught in. He’ll think he’s breaking me down, but I’ll just be biding my time, waiting for an opening to shove a knife in his back and set myself free.

There’s only one problem with my plan, though…

There’s a fine line between love and hate.

Vicious Luna is book four in the Shadowed Heirs series, a collection of paranormal romance novels centered around a group of aligned packs of wolf shifters. These books contain mature content (steamy scenes!), frequent use of profanity, and darker themes. While each book in the series concludes with a HEA for the main couple featured, there are some loose ends concerning the overarching storyline that runs throughout the entire five-book series. This book can be enjoyed as a standalone. The first three books in the series are available on KU.

TRIGGERS:

This book contains darker themes that may be triggering for some readers. Possible triggers include, but are not limited to: bullying, kidnapping, hostage situation, emotional blackmail, manipulation, dubious consent, rough sex, primal play, graphic violence, blood, gore, use of firearms, death, threat of sexual assault (not between MCs), anxiety, depression, and thoughts of self-harm. I have tried to handle all of these with care, and this story WILL have a happy ending. It’s just a rough road to get there, but if anyone can go through hell and come out stronger on the other side, it’s Avery. I hope you enjoy her story.

Fans of contemporary coming-of-age young adult fiction will root for Carly Klein as she fights to find her place in the world—even if she has to lie to everyone in her life to get there.

But when Lauren and her family move away, Carly is forced to find new ways to entertain herself. It doesn’t take her long to locate the perfect subject: her therapist mother’s patients.

Carly soon becomes obsessed with one patient in particular—Daniel, a blind junior at Columbia College—and, desperate to become part of his life and knowing he’ll never go for a high school girl, gets close to him by pretending to be a student at neighboring Barnard College. Becoming Carly Klein follows Carly on a roller coaster romp through the exhilaration and disappointment of first love—and the unintended consequences of disguise, deception, and discovery.

Book Blitz: All Shook Up – Enid Langbert

ramblingmads

This YA debut speaks to the continued interest in the teen culture of the 1950s—Elvis Presley, teenage rebellion—with a young girl embarking on adventure and music, ultimately uncovering family secrets.

All Shook Up: A Novel

Publication Date: September 10, 2024

Genre: Young Adult

Being fourteen is especially hard in 1956, when the world is changing around you. Honor student Paula Levy was born into a family of historical victims: her mother’s youth was lost in the Depression and her father’s was destroyed in the Holocaust, an as-yet-unnamed event about which no one speaks. But Paula has heard the new music taking hold of the nation—rock and roll—and it has given her hope. And she has two friends to get her through life’s ups and downs: Holden Caulfield, hero of Catcher in the Rye, who shares her view of the world, and Barbara, a “cool” girl in her high school who unexpectedly shares Paula’s view of Holden.

Paula’s mother is not a fan of Barbara, and she prohibits her daughter from associating with her. Paula manages to get around her mother’s rule and see Barbara anyway—but when Paula asks the wrong questions about her father’s past and Barbara is caught with her “boyfriend,” their private world of Holden, rock, and Elvis Presley crumbles. Angry with the adults in their lives, the two girls run away to find Barbara’s real father, a jazz musician. Disappointingly, he does not live in a mansion or socialize with Elvis—but Paula and Barbara may find something even better.
