Review of Bolder Blindsided (Zack Bolder #1) by Janice Tremayne + paperback giveaway (US/UK only)
So we’re kicking off the new year with Bolder Blindsided (Zack Bolder #1) by author Janice Tremayne!
Is it weird to start the year with a random book spotlight? Nah, right? I thought this book was intriguing that’s why I joined this blog tour and the post schedule that I happened to snag was this day, the first day of the year. I’d like to think that’s a good thing. Maybe it’ll mean I’ll be reading and reviewing books a lot this year. Hah! We shall see. ;)
Happy Release Day: Brambles by Intisar Khanani
Brambles by Intisar Khanani is out today! Brambles is a prequel novella to Thorn and gives Alyrra’s account of what happened years ago before the events in Thorn.
Read more about this story and check out my short review. Enjoy!
Review of The Wolf Of Oren-Yaro by K.S. Villoso
Hello, friends! Today I have The Wolf of Oren-Yaro by author K.S. Villoso. Earlier this year I kept seeing this book on Instagram and on must-read lists, so naturally I was intrigued (especially since the author is Filipino!). Everyone only had good things to say about it so I decided to get a copy when the Kindle version went on sale back in April. But because I’m a terrible reader I only got to it in August.
Review of Sentient by Michael Leon (plus a $20 GC giveaway)
Today we have sci fi novel Sentient by Michael Leon! I wasn’t so sure I’d be up for this blog tour but I wanted to give this book a try. I’m glad I did because it turned out to be an exciting read!

Spotlight: Apophis by Raj Anand (and a $25 giveaway)
Hullo, friends! I’ve got another sci fi book for you to check out! Today we have Apophis by author Raj Anand.
This isn’t the first book with that title that I’ve encountered so I was interested. I looked up Apophis and found out that it’s the Greek name for the great demon serpent Apep in Egyptian mythology. Apophis is associated with earthquakes, thunder, darkness, storms, and death, and is sometimes linked to the god Set, also associated with chaos, disorder, storms, and darkness (source). Interesting. Also, it’s the name of near-Earth asteroid 99942, first discovered in 2004 and calculated to fly-by really close to our planet in 2029 and return years later (source). Very very interesting, right?
Cover Reveal: Brambles by Intisar Khanani
Woot! Today we have the cover reveal of Brambles, a novellette by fantasy author Intisar Khanani.
Brambles is a short story prequel to Thorn and gives Alyrra’s account of what happened years ago before the events in Thorn.
Let’s check out the gorgeous cover!
Spotlight: The Rose by PD Alleva (and a $50 giveaway)
Today we have dystopian sci fi thriller The Rose by author PD Alleva. I was intrigued by the blurb because, um, alien vampires!? It sounded like an interesting and unique take on different concepts and I love stuff like that. I checked out the reviews on Goodreads and they’re all pretty good so far.
Read more about the book, read an excerpt and read all the way to the end of the post to join in on all the blog tour fun! :)

Spotlight: Dark Matter by Alyssa Huckleberry (and a $10 Giveaway)
How’s it going, friends? Today, we’re featuring Dark Matter by author Alyssa Huckleberry. I haven’t been reading much this year (not for lack of trying) but the few books I finished were mostly fantasies, so I was happy to join this book blast for something sci fi (my other favorite genre).
