Genre: Romantasy

  • Fated mates
  • Forbidden love

Every winter must have a summer.

Yet eternal winter sweeps across the continent, freezing everything in its path.

Unfortunately, there’s nothing Wrenora hates more than the cold, other than Prince Callan Vostbain, whose magic is rumored to be the cause of the winter blight. As a human prisoner of war, she tries to keep out of his way to avoid punishment, but when Callan learns she’s an imbuing mage, capable of creating a gem that can harness his power, he offers Wrenora freedom in exchange for her help.

But Wrenora hasn’t used her imbuing magic since before the war. She’s not sure she can help him. And she’s certainly not prepared for the man she finds hidden beneath the icy mask, much less the real reason Callan wishes to control his magic.

As more assassins are sent to kill him and rumors of an uprising grow, Callan struggles to keep the fiery human from melting the armor he’s carefully frozen around his heart. Or to focus on controlling his magic and stopping the winter blight before the entire continent is solid ice.

The cure for the winter blight may be at his fingertips, if only he can keep from freezing his only hope with a single touch.

Gwendolyn University, prestigious and notoriously private, conceals itself in the remote mountains of northeastern Vermont. It provides a world class education and only asks for a few things return:

Work hard. Surrender your personal devices. Stay inside after midnight.

Attending Gwendolyn is an unrealized dream for Astra Corrigan. She turned them down and, years later, finds herself at the gates as an independent journalist, invited to stay on campus to do an exclusive feature on the murder of five students at the hands of a professor they never caught.

Astra expected to have rules of engagement to follow. She didn’t expect a handler-the aloof and captivating Professor Dane Morgensen. Despite him thwarting her research efforts at every turn, she can’t fight her growing attraction to the astronomy professor.

After two more students die and Astra’s evidence vanishes, she discovers that something more sinister-and supernatural-might be at play with Gwendolyn and its cryptic faculty. She doesn’t know if she can trust the man she shouldn’t be falling in love with, either, but she must uncover the truth about Gwendolyn before she becomes a pawn in a battle of supernatural proportions.

Blog Tour: The Crooked Medium’s Guide to Terror – Stephen Cox

True terror is a murderer you can’t stop.

London 1882. A carpenter is killed by a train – an eerie, brutal crime. Flamboyant medium Mrs Ashton and her sapphic partner Braddie seek justice for the widow.

A charismatic new medium takes London by storm. Dock-lass Maisie sees her frightening prophesy of vengeance. A noble family is devastated, but worse is to come.

Outgunned and bewildered, the three confront a deadly conspiracy. They risk losing everything.

A reckoning from beyond the grave.

Praise for Book 1: The Crooked Medium’s Guide To Murder
“witty, atmospheric and queer-hearted”
“humour, mystery and a wonderfully crooked sense of morality… delivered with charm.”

Direct from author Amazon UK Amazon US Kobo

My grandmother told me I read too much. I remember walking in the garden when I
was small, telling myself stories. It was over thirty years of wanting to be a novelist before I tried… and succeeded.

The Crooked Medium’s Guide to Murder was much loved. It arose because I wanted to write about Britishness and specifically about Englishness; about our complex relationship with the past; I wanted leads who were morally grayer but still capable of kindness. Personally, it was time for a
novel with queer leads. And these difficult times I needed to write something with some uplift. I always intended more than two books. The Crooked Medium’s Guide to Terror is spookier, and more dangerous. It throws all three women out of their comfort zone.

I spent nearly all my childhood in Bristol, and I’m now an adoptive Londoner. I live with my partner, and it’s lovely my two adult children come back from time to time. Our garden rages wild.

Giveaway to Win 4 x Signed Books by Stephen Cox (Open to UK Only)

Prize includes – Our Child of the Stars, Our Child of Two Worlds, The Crooked Medium’s Guide to Murder and the Crooked Medium’s Guide to Terror.

My thoughts: Mrs Ashton and Braddie have returned to London, one definitely more reluctantly than the other. But it’s good that they have as their boxer friend Samson needs their help – his sometime employee has been murdered and his death has been dismissed as suicide or an accident. The man leaves behind a fiancée who insists that he would never do such a thing just before their wedding.

Is it somehow connected with a mysterious new medium in town who hosts a seance at the home of a noble family where they are threatened with retribution? Maisie is present at this event and swears something was very off about it. As Mrs Ashton is investigating, the heir to the family is kidnapped. Could something in Lord Hanbury’s past be responsible for the terrors his family are suffering?

Drawn into a dark world of evil spirits and vengeful women with hidden faces, the three investigators must keep their wits about them. Mrs Ashton seems to be losing some of her extraordinary powers, but her mind remains sharp, Braddie ready at her side and Maisie digging into things in her own way. With a little help, they just might tame the beast and solve the case.

Another clever, twisting and twisted adventure for some of my new favourite characters, this time battling a creature only one of them can see, and a woman who claims to not want to be an adversary, yet at times seems to intend harm.

Genre: Shifter Romance

– Werewolf shifters
– Hidden identity
– Forced proximity
– Found family
– Slow burn
– Touch-and-d!e energy (both ways)

Forced into the home of an unyielding Alpha, a grieving girl bent on revenge ignites a slow-burn werewolf romance where loyalty is law—and legends burn.

Her brother is dead.
Her freedom stolen.
And her greatest danger may be the Alpha werewolf sworn to guard her.

Aloka Tutten never asked to live among the pack. To them, she’s just a human girl—too small, too fragile, an unwanted liability. Her unwilling protector, Stark Lamont, makes no effort to hide that he doesn’t want her in his territory.

But the walls between them aren’t as strong as they should be. His quiet strength pulls her closer. His touch lingers too long. And beneath the heat of his gaze, the truth inside her threatens to break free.

Aloka isn’t what they believe.
And as war looms, her secret will rise—either to save them all…or set their world on fire, even if it burns her too.

Book Blitz: Tethered – Elayna R. Gallea

Tethered (The Binding Chronicles Book One)

Release Date: September 8, 2026

Genre: Vampire Romantasy

Publisher: @randomhouseca

  • Arranged marriage
  • Extreme forced proximity
  • Morally grey vampire shadow daddy
  • He falls first
  • “My wife” are two of his favourite words
  • World’s worst MIL
  • Only one bed
  • Touch her and d1e

The first book in The Binding Chronicles, Tethered is a darkly seductive romantasy for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and The Serpent and the Wings of Night, blending forbidden love, dangerous magic and a bond that defies fate.

What could be worse than an arranged marriage to a vampire prince?

When Luna is sold into marriage to the vampire Prince of Darkness, she expects cruelty, not temptation. Prince Sebastian was made to obey his queen, even if that means binding himself to a mortal he doesn’t want and burying every trace of the humanity he lost centuries ago. But the moment their blood mingles during the Binding Ceremony, something ancient and forbidden ignites between them.

Now bound by a magic neither understands and incapable of going more than thirty feet apart, Luna and Sebastian are trapped in each other’s orbit—tethered but unwilling to surrender. As political schemes twist into betrayal and war brews on the horizon, desire becomes their greatest danger. Loving each other could cost them their crowns, their kingdoms and their lives.

Steeped in dark magic, aching passion and impossible choices, Tethered is a sweeping gothic romantasy about two enemies bound by fate and undone by love.

An undercover operative on the run

A wild fae with a vendetta against her family

And an entangled plot to retake the faerie wilds

Nothing good ever happens in a back alley, I’ve learned. Except for when taking down a shadow market man for the rebel order. Truly, an exhilarating experience.

But when a motherly elf appears after a mission and declares I must leave if I wish to survive—and leave with Kalen Kelly, no less, a former wild fae Seren thief and suspected smuggler—I start to question my once very sound mind. More so when she adds that my fate also belongs in the last Greenwood Wilds of Carran.

Laughable, really. Wild fae do not return to the Greenwood. Not if they wish to survive, that is.

Naturally, I dismiss the encounter . . . until the soldier hunting me, the one I faked my own death to escape, finds me in the tavern where I work undercover. The tavern Kalen just happens to walk into minutes later. And now I have two options:

1) Seduce Kalen, then drug him to sneak onto his boat with my cat.

2) Run to the next big town and, once more, hide the government documents I stole.

Against all my training, I choose the thief. And saints, Kalen Kelly is the most infuriating, outrageously flirtatious, strategic game I have ever played.

The elf in the back alley lied.

My heart most certainly will not survive the dangerous rhythm of his. I’m starting to fear I may not survive crossing into the Greenwood either.
