Darkly Luminous Treats

After finishing The Dead Travel Fast I'm in the mood for more things Gothic. So it's the perfect time to watch the trailer for The Darkly Luminous Fight for Persephone Parker--the upcoming second novel in Leanna Renee Hieber's Strangely Beautiful saga.
Nice, isn't it? I love the Chopin and the lovely yet disturbing images. I truly enjoyed the first book and have been very interested to see where the sequel took Percy, Alexi, and all the Guard. Leanna has posted four excerpts from the new book to tide you over until the April 27th release date. Enjoy!

    I would never have looked twice at this book. But, after watching that...I'll probably by it. You know me! ;)

    I must confess that I wasn't blown away by the first one. I liked the dancing scene, and the sexual tension was well done, but the plot - I was always getting confused, and the ending was...well, I had to keep rereading to figure out what was happening.

    I don't know where I've been that I haven't visited your blog before but I'm so glad to be here now. After reading just a few of your posts I know I'm going to like it here.

    It was so nice meeting you the other night.

    Jennie, lol. The first one worked for me, even when I didn't think it would. I'm looking forward to this one!

    Raspberry, *grin* I can see that happening easily. It did get really dramatic and chaotic at the end. I guess I ended up caring about Percy and Alexi a lot and I was so mad at the rest for not trusting them that I read through to make sure good would out.

    Kim, and I'm happy to have you! :) It was great to meet you, too. I hope you enjoy the book. Though I should warn you there is a fair amount of language in it--what with the war and all...

Retro Friday Review: Song of the Sparrow by Lisa Ann Sandell

Retro Friday is a weekly meme hosted here at Angieville and focuses on reviewing books from the past. This can be an old favorite, an under-the-radar book you think deserves more attention, something woefully out-of-print, etc. Everyone is welcome to join in at any time! So this is a book I've spent a lot of time talking about. Chances are, if you've hung around these parts, you've heard me push it. But I actually read it for the first time way back in the olden days before the blog was, well, what it is now. I read it shortly after it was first published, back in 2007, when I was writing monthly posts, mere collections of mini-reviews. So Song of the Sparrow  got shortchanged. I decided to address that situation today. The fun thing is lots of friends have read (and reviewed) it since, and so I was able to trip through their lovely thoughts and remember my own. When I heard about a retelling of Tennyson's " Lady of Shalott ," I was so in. I mean, I'...

Bibliocrack Review | Don't You Forget About Me by Mhairi McFarlane

There's really very little to say, isn't there? I hope you are well, wherever you are. I hope that your loved ones are. I hope that you're finding small ways to stay afloat, to remain connected to something, someone, someplace (real or fictional) that sustains you. Dark and difficult times, indeed. I've rather been holding on to this review. I felt so much, so quickly, so irrevocably for this book that it rapidly became hard to talk about to anyone who hadn't read it. And so I hope I can do it justice, just barely enough justice that, if you haven't, you'll run right out and do so. Now is the perfect time. I feel strongly that this book is what you need in your life at this moment. And so. You might want to prepare yourselves. I'm about to wax rhapsodic. But first, and introductory excerpt: At the end of that session, Fay said, What if it's not what happened with this boy you regret, it's you? It's the  you  who you left behind. It's ...
