Today I am part of the blog tour for A Wish for Be Today I am part of the blog tour for A Wish for Beth by Audrey Davis! 

See my linktree for the link to the post on my site!

Book Description:

Love, second chances, and a dash of magic… what could possibly go wrong?

Beth Calder’s life so far:

Marriage falling apart? Check.
Heartbreak she can’t quite move past? Check.
Fresh start in a quiet Scottish village? Check.

Discovering a genie inside a pinball machine? That’s new.

Arriving in Cranley is meant to be Beth’s chance to begin again. A job as head chef at The Jekyll and Hyde pub, a cosy place to call home, and a village that doesn’t ask too many questions feel like exactly what she needs. Romance is firmly off the table.

That becomes harder to hold on to when she meets Kieran, a thoughtful and quietly charming tech developer who understands more than she expects. It becomes even harder when the pub’s dusty basement reveals a glitter-loving genie with a habit of interfering and a belief that Beth’s story isn’t over yet.
With three wishes she doesn’t quite trust and a heart still holding onto the past, Beth must decide whether to keep playing it safe or risk everything for a chance at something new.

In Cranley, even the most unexpected kind of magic can help you find your way forward.

Today I review the newest novella in the To Die To Today I review the newest novella in the To Die To Live series by @authorjasonhershey . Luckily we don't have to wait too long for the next, it comes out this Fall! 

Novella Description:

Thelonious Mitchell came to Kansas to start over. A college freshman who walked away from a football scholarship, he found new purpose working with at-risk youth at Riverside Learning Academy — mentoring kids like Tommy, who needs someone to believe in him, and DeMarco, whose anger is really just grief wearing a different face.

Then a broken taillight that wasn’t broken changes everything.

After a racially motivated traffic stop leaves Theo humiliated, handcuffed, and carrying wounds he doesn’t know how to name, the man who taught kids to control their feelings can no longer control his own. The trauma spreads — into his work, his relationships, and finally into the one place it was never supposed to go: the gym where the children who trust him are just trying to play basketball.

The Purpose of Life is the story of what happens when the person who holds everyone else together starts to fall apart — and what it takes to put yourself back together without losing who you were trying to become.

Today I am taking part in the blog tour and sharin Today I am taking part in the blog tour and sharing a review for Witch Hunt by BD Spargo! This is the second in the DCI Liam Doyle series. I really hope book three comes soon! 

See my linktree for the link to the post on my site.

Book Description:

Murder, witchcraft, and a race against time – welcome to Pendle Hill.

A young woman is found brutally murdered and mutilated at the foot of Pendle Hill and the local police are in no doubt who the killer is. Newly released from a psychiatric unit, Will Perkins has delusions that the victim is a witch. When DCI Liam Doyle and his team are brought in to investigate, the suspect is already in custody and the case apparently wrapped up. Except for one key detail – evidence.

Is it really possible the origins to this murder lie in Pendle’s infamous past?

Recently returned to work, DS Anna Morgan is battling her own demons. The physical wounds from her last case have healed, but the psychological trauma still haunts her. When another body turns up the investigation is blown wide open and Doyle has to face up to the horrifying possibility that he could have prevented this killing.

Can Doyle overcome his own doubts and track down the killer before they strike again? Will Morgan be able to conquer her fear before it destroys her?

Set in and around Lancashire’s legendary Pendle Hill, Witch Hunt is a gripping British crime thriller with dark humour and a nail-biting climax. This fast-paced novel, the second in the series featuring DCI Doyle and DS Morgan, will have listeners on the edge of their seats.

If you have enjoyed books by authors such as Val McDermid, MW Craven, JD Kirk and Alex Smith, you won’t want to miss Witch Hunt.

Book Description:

With a modern mindset trapped in a traditional world, will this young Brazilian woman discover a path to education, travel, and love?

In Brazil during the early 2000s, Francesca Silva craved more. Born into a family struggling financially and bound by her father’s rigid religious beliefs, the smart dreamer longs for a brighter future. So, when fate delivers a handsome American missionary, Francesca opens her heart and rebels against her traditional machismo culture.

More determined than ever to expand her mind, the naïve woman battles familial expectations amid eye-opening foreign customs. But with domestic drama, romantic complications, and a language barrier, the go-getter fears that more than a visa and an airplane flight will prevent her from claiming her true self.

Can Francesca embrace her destiny and find enduring fulfillment?

The Relentless Lady is the enthralling first book in the Relentless Lady women’s fiction series. Those who love tenacious heroines in real-world settings and finding enlightenment will adore Eva Harris’ emotional tale.

Read The Relentless Lady today and take yourself on a captivating journey about finding love and exploring one’s true self.
