ramblingmads

We’re thrilled to announce that The Fortune Games by Mira Specter is now available, perfect for fans of morally grey love interests, rivals with insane chemistry, and high-stakes secrets!

The Fortune Games

Release Date: November 27, 2025

Genre: Romantic Thriller/ New Adult

  • Rivals to lovers
  • Love Triangle
  • Elite university
  • Slow burn tension
  • Toxic attraction
  • Secrets and lies

“Sexy. Unputdownable. Viciously funny.”

A razor-sharp romantic mystery about money, mayhem, and the price of ambition — perfect for fans of Nightshade and Legally Blonde.

They say all fortunes come with a curse. I should’ve believed them.

A few days ago, I was just Vera: law student, scholarship kid, newest intern at the prestigious Saidi firm. I had plans, ambition, and the perfect date lined up with the campus golden boy.
Then I woke up to find a suitcase full of money at the foot of my bed—and a note. I had seventy-two hours to spend it all and leave no trace… or risk losing everything.

At first, I thought it was a joke. Then strange things started happening. Secret clubs I was somehow connected to. Questions I couldn’t answer. A high-society family with a dark past. And then there were them:
Bastian Saidi—my boss’s infuriating, dangerously magnetic nephew, whose smile hides more secrets than his family fortune. And Enzo Woods—charming, elusive, and far too good at making trouble look beautiful.

Somewhere between expensive dinners, sleepless nights, and impossible choices, I started to realise the truth: this isn’t a prank. It’s a test—one that could destroy me, or make me into something else entirely.
Because in this world, money is never free, and love might be the most expensive thing of all… after the price we pay for our lies, of course.

This sharp, darkly hilarious romantic thriller is perfect for readers who love morally grey love interests, rivals with insane chemistry, high-stakes secrets, billionaire drama, and heroines who are a little too smart for their own good.

Six weeks isn’t long enough to heal a broken heart. Not for River Harlow, who lost her best friend, Javi; her mentor, Olivia; her lover, Ryder—her entire life—in what feels like the blink of an eye. Yet, as the new Angel of Water and with a bounty on her head placed by the conniving enemy realm, the only thing left to do is try to move on.

To take back her life, River stands against Chet, the horrific guy-turned-wolf who assaulted her at a bonfire. But when she tries to testify against him at the werewolf tribunal, she—and her remaining friends—realizes he has not only slithered into the welcome arms of the enemy, but the enemy is very much among them. It won’t be too long before their army of demons infiltrates Mortal Earth and destroys everything she loves.

Finding the three other elemental archangels, the Watchers, might be her only hope of saving the realm. On a dangerous search abroad to find the Angel of Earth, her strength, hope, and heart are tested in the deceitfully glittering realm of the Huldufólk. The Queen of the Elves strikes a bargain with River to take her to the Angel of Earth, but elves always demand payment for their magic, and River owes her dues—in bones and blood.

Angel of Earth & Bone is the second volume in The Book of the Watchers, an upper YA/NA urban fantasy romance series about the secret heiress to a powerful archangel and the half-angel demon hunter sent to destroy her.

“The gods awaken their Arcana to win a war. But when the High Priestess rises it is to save the world.”

1843,
Violante, the Fool, is taken from the Berg Orphanage to begin training with the Hanged Man Arcanum and discovers that her friend, Seraphine, is the High Priestess of this era.
Determined to be part of the Hand (the five most faithfully knights chosen by the High Priestess) Violante wins the fight against her rival Sebastian Velmont, the Emperor’s Arcanum and betrothed to Seraphine.
Trying to set aside the conflicting feelings for him, Violante with the other knights of the Hand set out on the trail of Nathaniel, Justice Arcanum, who recently disappeared and they discover that an ancient enemy of the Order is once again in circulation.
The Trovator seems determined to carry out his project of destroying every creature with ancestral blood and to do so he needs both the sacred weapon of the High Priestess and Seraphine herself.

“Our sacred duty it is to protect and serve the High Pristess, in this life and in all the lives to come.”

Choose your Arcana

Protect the High Priestess

Save the world.

Welcome to the world of the Arcana:

The world of Arcana is an uchrony of our own: Saint Denis, capital of Anges, is none other than Paris in France, Rema is the city founded by Remus and not Romulus, and Brooklyn is none other than the name for New York. A world where the map looks so much like ours, but the history and events that have taken place have changed it in detail.

“𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝓈𝓉𝒶𝓇𝓈 𝓌𝒾𝓁𝓁 𝑔𝓊𝒾𝒹𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊, 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝓈𝑜 𝓌𝒾𝓁𝓁 𝓎𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝒽𝑒𝒶𝓇𝓉. 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝓉𝓇𝓊𝓉𝒽 𝒸𝒶𝓃𝓃𝑜𝓉 𝓈𝓉𝒶𝓎 𝒽𝒾𝒹𝒹𝑒𝓃 𝒻𝑜𝓇𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇.”

When Thalia Eichel, a nobody from Druin, wakes up on the outskirts of the royal city with her memories lost, it’s safe to say she has a few questions. Only one person can give her the answers she seeks—Alistair, the God of Protection. Her mind may be nothing but a web of fragmented memories, but there’s one thing Thalia does remember. She hates the gods. As if talking to him wasn’t bad enough, he’s come to deliver the most unfortunate news.

Thalia is dead.

But not all hope is lost. Alistair reveals there’s something from centuries past that might have the power to bring her back from the dead. But there are rules she must obey. Reluctantly, Thalia agrees. If she must play the part of a good little mortal, then that is what she will do. She knows it’s the only way she can reclaim her life and, more importantly, put an end to the one who ruined it in the first place.

Thalia was no murderer in her past life, but she’s certainly not afraid to be one in the next.

Meanwhile, Thalia’s best friend, Torin Lehr, finds himself in dangerous situations as he works to uncover the truth of her mysterious disappearance. His choices and rebellious allegiances lead him down a relentless path from which there is no turning back. Corruption oozes from the hearts of the black cloaks, and he manages to get wedged in the thick of it.

All roads point back to King Vitalis, but why? What would the royals want with a family of farmers who, in their eyes, are a bunch of nobodies anyway?

Blog Tour: The Wrong Brother – Maren Jenner

ramblingmads

Welcome to the tour for The Wrong Brother by Maren Jenner! Read on for more details!

The Wrong Brother: A New Adult College Romance (Wrighting the Wrongs Book 1)

Publication Date: October 8, 2024

Genre: NA Romance

Leah chose the wrong brother—she just doesn’t know it yet.

Leah Parker has always found Shawn to be the most attractive of the Wrighting brothers, and the most complicated. Which is why she chooses his predictable, steady brother, Sebastian, to date after an ex leaves her confidence shattered and reputation ruined. While Sebastian is the perfect option to ease back into the dating pool, they make better friends than lovers and part amicably.

It’s Leah’s senior year of college and she is more than looking forward to Spring Break with the brothers, until Sebastian backs out. Now she has to face the trip single and without her best friend. Shawn’s yo-yo mood swings—sweet one minute and grumpy the next—make her even more apprehensive, despite Sebastian’s reassurances that Shawn will look out for her.

Shawn loves pushing Leah’s buttons, even if it makes her think he hates her. Her angry responses to him are the only times he glimpses the fiery woman she used to be before her jerk of an ex-boyfriend got a hold of her. He misses that spitfire woman. The way her blue eyes flash when she’s mad and how she flays him with her sharp words is nothing short of amazing. But things get complicated when he’s forced to face his tangled mess of emotions head-on.

Their upcoming Spring Break trip offers Shawn the chance to own up to his true feelings, show Leah what she truly means to him and tackle the hardest task of all—convincing her that she was with the wrong brother.

BBNYA Blog Tour: Sorrow’s Forest – Kaitlin Corvus

ramblingmads

BBNYA is a yearly competition where book bloggers from all over the world read and score books written by indie authors, ending with 15 finalists and one overall winner.

If you want some more information about BBNYA, check out the BBNYA Website https://www.bbnya.com/ or take a peek over on Twitter @BBNYA_Official. BBNYA is brought to you in association with the @Foliosociety (if you love beautiful books, you NEED to check out their website!) and the book blogger support group @The_WriteReads.

Sorrow’s Forest teems with beasts, some ugly, some beautiful, all unnatural. A ban restricts travel beneath her branches, existing for as long as Lakeview Township has, and most who disobey do not return.

To win a bet, twelve-year-old Mackie King enters the forest, and in its depths, he discovers a boy-like devil. Then he steals him from the trees.

In as little as an hour, the devil names himself Blue and fits seamlessly into the Kings’ life. No one seems to remember he wasn’t always there. Only Mackie knows the truth.

Now, Mackie and Blue are grown, Queen Sorrow has awakened, and she wants her devil back. She’s willing to tear the town apart to reclaim him. Mackie has always been resourceful, but it will take every bit of ingenuity he and Blue possess to thwart Queen Sorrow and her minions, save the town, and free themselves from the shadow of the bittering forest.

Amazon: Canada USA UK Goodreads  StoryGraph

Kaitlin Corvus is from Ontario, Canada. The north holds the best part of her. She writes about nobodies, monsters, and gutter glitter, loves the stars, the deep dark sea, and a good horror mystery.

My thoughts: when Mackie steals a forest devil, Blue, from Sorrow’s Forest, she doesn’t forget and eventually she wants to claim back what’s hers. The forest consumes the missing, and never gives them back.

But Mackie is afraid, afraid of the forest and increasingly of Blue. He is exhibiting strange power over people and events, and keeps spending time with his school bully, in what Mackie thinks is an abusive situation. Blue has always been openly gay, and the relationship between him and Mackie is shifting into something different, something more.

As the forest attempts to assert its power and draw Blue back to it, Mackie fights harder to keep his brother/friend/lover with him. Meanwhile his father is dying and more people are being swallowed up by the forest.

An intense bond and a story that draws you into it, as the forest does the two young men. What will become of them if the forest succeeds or indeed, if it doesn’t?
