Blurb

Once, they shared one soul. Can hope heal years of despair and broken dreams?

Music is all I know. It saved me as a kid. It brings me fame and fortune now. But what am I, the famous Gage Rodin, doing at night when I’m on the road and can’t sleep? Googling her. Tess Hades, the girl who still haunts my dreams and my lyrics.

She arrived like a quiet storm, a wild thing with eyes guarded to the world. But she let me into the deep end of her beautifully broken soul. When we were together, life was simple. When my life got complicated, she did what she thought was the right thing. She let me go.

While she’s been out saving the wild creatures of the world, my muse has fed on the memory of our life together. But now everything in my world is shifting again, and not in a good way. I’m not certain I have the strength to bear another devastating loss, so I find myself reaching for something as rare and elusive as the perfect song lyric.

The one woman who never gave up hope…

My books for July

I read another 11 books this month. Of these 11, I finished 3 audiobooks, and marked off 3 more PopSugar Challenge prompts.

Landline by Rainbow Rowell
This is an incredible tale of a woman whose marriage is falling apart. Through the help of a magic phone Georgia realizes what's important to her before it is too late.

Weightless by Kandi Steiner
This book reminds us that things aren't always what they seem. It reminds us that our challenges mold us into who we are. The weight of life makes us stronger.

Restless Waters by Jessica Park
In this book we revisit the characters Blythe and the Shepherd's from Left Drowning. This book tells of the depth of love for a best friend. How it can be so confusing when the best friend is not the person you are in love with. Another touching story by Jessica Park.

The Memory Garden by Mary Rickert
This is a very good story about coming to terms with your past. Long kept secrets are revealed. Long lost friends reconnect. With a touch of the paranormal this is just and overall good book.

Me Before You by JoJo Moyes
So once again, I read the book after seeing the movie. I really need to stop doing this, the book is always better. I love how much Lou grows and changes due to her job taking care of Will. This is a great story about helping someone find their way out of their shell.

Sleeping in Eden by Nicole Baart
This book is told from two points of view each in a different year. I was very confused trying to figure out how Meg's story interacted with Lucas's. Finally reaching the end when things started coming together I was shocked. This was an amazing book.

The Whole Truth by AB Plum
This is a very intense book. It is marketed as a stand alone book, although I felt a little lost having not read the other books. It is fast paced, and has good characters.

The Ice Princess by Camilla Lackberg
This book had so much going on. Erica and Patrick try to solve the murder of Erica's long lost friend. They uncover so many secrets. Some of these secrets should never have been kept. When I got to the end I had never suspected the actual murderer.

After You by JoJo Moyes
In this book we rejoin Lou as she tries to move on with her life. I loved that she meets Lilly, Will's daughter he never knew, and how Lilly helps Lou learn and grow just like her father once did. I can't wait to find out what's next for Lou in the third book.

All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover
This book is full of heart breaking struggles, and incredibly touching moments of love. I feel like a have a new understanding of what some people go through in life, as well as a new appreciation of what I have. This was my first book by Colleen Hoover and I cannot wait to read more of her work. This book definitely has all the feels.

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

This book was a little hard for me to listen to. Hearing the story of child molestation from the molesters point of view. He disgusted me. However, it was an interesting tale.

Speak of the Devil by Britney King

About The Book

In the upscale suburb where Vanessa Bolton lives, she’s your average suburban housewife.

She does her grocery shopping on Tuesday, Thursday mornings are reserved for Pilates, Sundays for church. At home, she’s an impeccable housekeeper and a mother with a mediocre track record.

But in discreet hotel rooms throughout the city, she can be whatever you want her to be—provided you can afford the hourly fee.

In the rapidly expanding cult to which she belongs, Vanessa has been assigned the role of a “Siren”—a recruiter trained to use seduction to elicit compliance from her marks.

Vanessa’s latest assignment—an unsuspecting chemist merely looking for something without strings—proves to be her toughest yet. Unwilling to neatly slide into the roles society has prescribed for them, the two collide in a sensual and savage affair that threatens not only their own lives but also those they seek to protect most.

Featuring “tantalizing suspense, pulse-pounding danger, sex, and double-dealing,” Speak of the Devil is a timely and riveting psychological thriller that is impossible to put down.

My Thoughts

In this book we join Vanessa in her life as a Siren for her Church!?! This has me thinking what kind of church is this. I mean they have the women (even married women) of the congregation performing sex for money with people. Something isn't right here. We also join Elliot Parker who is a chemist. His wife has apparently left him and taken his daughter. But he has every intention of getting her back, he even stalks her. So once again I am thinking WTF is going on here. Then the two meet. I am thinking to myself oh boy this is could end up being very messy. They each obviously have their own agenda for why they want to spend time with the other.

With mind control, cults, assaults, prostitution, and murder this book keeps you intrigues from beginning to end. This book keeps you engaged and wondering clear up to the end. This book moves at a fairly fast pace. It surprised me when I reached the end, in a good way. I was just reading along, and all of a sudden I had reached the end. This book was well written from beginning to end. A great book.

I read another 9 books this month. Of these 9, I finished 1 audiobook, and marked off 4 more PopSugar Challenge prompts.

The Other Twin by L. V. Hay
Wow. This was a very twisted book. Never really saw the end coming. Keeps you interested and on your toes. Riviting.

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
Not something I would have picked to read if not for my book club. Still glad I read it. An incredible tail of a survivor.

A Winkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
This is an amazing story about an incredible adventure. The possibilities this book explores while Megan, Charles Wallace and Calvin search for Mr. Murray truly open your imagination and take you to exciting new places.

When Darkness Consumes by C.M. Radcliff
For me this book was kind of slow at the beginning. I found myself having to make myself read it. But around the middle it took a wicked twist, and I couldn't put it down until I finished it.

A Different Blue by Amy Harmon
An amazing story about finding yourself. I loved the surprise at the end.

Returned to Light by C.M. Radcliff
Picking up 2 years after When Darkness Consumes this book is told from both Ryder and Lydia's point of veiw. It is a great story, and the perfect ending for Ryder and Lydia. For me this book held my attention from beginning to end. There isn't as much suspense or violence as in the first book. Such a great book.

Dewitched: The Untold Story of the Evil Queen by E.L. Sarnoff
This is such an amazing tale with a great lesson. I absolutely loved this book. So many unexpected little twists, and how all of the characters were interrelated made it so much fun to read.

Sweet Hollow Women by Holly Tierney-Bedord
This is a great story following 4 generations of women during different times in their lives. It was very interesting seeing how things that happened to one generation would eventually impact another in one way or another. With bits of love stories and crime along the way the book was very engaging and in the end heartwarming. It just goes to show you never truly know how things will work out in the end.

The Mirror Sisters by V.C. Andrews
This was my first V.C. Andrews book, I am wondering why I hadn't read her books sooner. It was amazing. I was caught completely off guard by what Haylee did to Kaylee. I mean I knew she was going to do something, but WOW. Their mother was a piece of work. I was so mad at her and hated her. I can't wait to get my hands on the other books in this series.

Exciting New Release

Title: Speak of the Devil

Author: Britney King

Genre: Psychological Thriller

Release Date: October 4, 2018

Speak of the Devil is a captivating, darkly satiric psychological thriller which offers readers another savage look into a utopian cultish society where beauty and perfection are valued at all costs and it’s best to keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

In the upscale suburb where Vanessa Bolton lives, she’s your average suburban housewife.

She does her grocery shopping on Tuesday, Thursday mornings are reserved for Pilates, Sundays for church. At home, she’s an impeccable housekeeper and a mother with a mediocre track record.

But in discreet hotel rooms throughout the city, she can be whatever you want her to be—provided you can afford the hourly fee.

In the rapidly expanding cult to which she belongs, Vanessa has been assigned the role of a “Siren”—a recruiter trained to use seduction to elicit compliance from her marks.

Vanessa’s latest assignment—an unsuspecting chemist merely looking for something without strings—proves to be her toughest yet. Unwilling to neatly slide into the roles society has prescribed for them, the two collide in a sensual and savage affair that threatens not only their own lives but also those they seek to protect most.

Featuring “tantalizing suspense, pulse-pounding danger, sex, and double-dealing,” Speak of the Devil is a timely and riveting psychological thriller that is impossible to put down.

Britney King lives in Austin, Texas with her husband, children, two dogs, one ridiculous cat, and a partridge in a pear tree.

When she's not wrangling the things mentioned above, she writes psychological, domestic and romantic thrillers set in suburbia.

Currently, she's writing three series and several standalone novels.

The Bedrock Series features an unlikely heroine who should have known better. Turns out, she didn’t. Thus she finds herself tangled in a messy, dangerous, forbidden love story and face-to-face with a madman hell-bent on revenge. The series has been compared to Fatal Attraction, Single White Female, and Basic Instinct.

The Water Series follows the shady love story of an unconventional married couple—he’s an assassin—she kills for fun. It has been compared to a crazier book version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Also, Dexter.

Around The Bend is a heart-pounding standalone, which traces the journey of a well-to-do suburban housewife, and her life as it unravels, thanks to the secrets she keeps. If she were the only one with things she wanted to keep hidden, then maybe it wouldn’t have turned out so bad. But she wasn’t.

The With You Series at its core is a deep love story about unlikely friends who travel the world; trying to find themselves, together and apart. Packed with drama and adventure along with a heavy dose of suspense, it has been compared to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and Love, Rosie.

The Social Affair is an intense standalone about a timeless couple who find themselves with a secret admirer they hadn’t bargained for. For fans of the anti-heroine and stories told in unorthodox ways, the novel explores what can happen when privacy is traded for convenience. It is reminiscent of films such as One Hour Photo and Play Misty For Me.

Without a doubt, connecting with readers is the best part of this gig. You can find Britney online here:
