Shadow Moon ~ Review


Shadow Moon
Sandman Saga
by M.R. Polish
Publication date: November 10, 2020
Emberlynn Cyrus has been discarded and unwanted her entire life—but they’ve all made a terrible mistake…

Seventeen-year-old Emberlynn knows she’s different. Not just because her parents are dead and no foster family will have her. No, Emberlynn sees things. She sees colors. The colors emerge around others and reveal their pasts; but what does it mean? With her head down she struggles to finish school and find a family, but the colors seem to want to take her down a different path.

A path that led to a man named Sander…

The ruler of the Night Kingdom had heard her name whispered like a fairy tale…

Sander knows what it means when the soul leads someone to another—she’s his soulmate. But he’s wise enough to know she’s so much more. Whatever secrets she harbors, he only wants to protect and love her. He knows their souls will be bound together, but he wants her to choose him. Not just because their fate has already been decided.

Little do they know she’s being hunted by beings who wish her dead. Her secret would change the world—her death would destroy it.

Intense and thrilling, the perfect soulmate romance, M.R. Polish's gripping fantasy is diving deep into a new world of magic and love, betrayal and evil.

 The characters, their world, the emotions....ALL OF IT! I can’t wait for the next release! I can’t wait to see where Emberlynn’s journey leads her. And.... I’m seriously in need of a Sander fix!

was born in Idaho, a long, long, long, maybe not that long time ago.... Writing has always been there for her. Growing up, her mind was filled with stories, some she shared and others she filed away to write down later in life. It wasn't until 2011 that she decided to publish her stories for everyone to enjoy. Her first award and when writing became more than just an idea was in the 5th grade. She won the scary story contest for the school newspaper. It is one story she still has tucked away for memories. Her teacher told her she could be anything she wanted and that she had a talant for writing, being creative and drawing people into her stories. M.R. took that to heart and continued to write, although mostly in secret until recent years.

Now you can find her enjoying life with her family - wrangling her four kids, setting traps in the house with toys for unsuspecting victims (aka, her husband) and writing down all her crazy and fun stories.

Valor ~ Cover Reveal

Valor
by Casey L. Bond
Publication Date: February 25th, 2022
Dragon. Warrior. Woman. 

To honor her brother’s dying plea, Vayl Halifex carries a message that might prevent war with the elves: the location of their captive princess. Fortune and circumstance align in her favor and Vayl’s life is forever changed when an opportunity arises that only she can seize. With the help of a matchmaker, she becomes the emperor’s newest concubine. The new role affords her unfettered access to the gilded mountain stronghold, where the princess is rumored to be hidden away. 

But she won’t take this risk alone. Her brother’s best friend, dragon warrior Estin, calls on the small army of elven assassins he leads to use their magic and might to flank her for the fight to come. The band of dragons takes Vayl into their fold and trains her as best they can before she’s whisked away to the palace.

Unbeknownst to the warriors, a dreadful magic simmers in the gilded fortress. With those fiercely protective of the emperor closing in, and the dragon assassins disappearing one by one, Vayl’s chance at escape narrows to a sliver, along with her hope of finding the princess or fighting her way out of the palace. With her heart entwined with that of the dragon warrior she was never supposed to love, she begins to fear the price of her treachery will be her life… or his.

Mulan meets The Hundredth Queen in this romantic epic fantasy, perfect for fans of the Throne of Glass series and These Hollow Vows.

Casey Bond lives on a rural farm in West Virginia with her husband and their two beautiful daughters. She writes phoenixes – gloriously flawed and morally gray characters that fiercely rise from the ashes of their circumstances. World building is one of her favorite hobbies, along with stamping metal jewelry, swimming, and enjoying the beauty of nature. She thinks thunderstorms are better than coffee and that watching a meteor shower is the closest thing to magic you might ever see. She’s a firm believer that every amazing book needs a world you want to wrap yourself in, a character you want to win, and a love you would fight for.

Casey is the award-winning author of When Wishes Bleed, Gravebriar, and House of Eclipses.

Quick Eerie Treat!, November 6, 2020
Lost Souls, my introduction to this author...and what a great introduction it was! She did not disappoint!! If you are looking for a quick eerie treat you have found it! A spooky tale of teen fun gone wrong with a chilling twist that I did not see coming. I enjoyed getting to know a bit about these characters, & even though short it did not feel rushed at all. Their story flowed nicely & consistently. Perfect for listening to at work or in the car. The narrator also did a good job bringing the characters to life. I really enjoyed listening to this, & look forward to more stories by this author.
