Hey everyone! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!  Man, 2021 was an...okay year.  The pandemic was still raging on at the time, but at least we got the vaccine now.  Anyway, I'm looking forward to 2022 as I hope that it's way better than 2021 and I really hope that things settle down this year.  Also, I got a lot of goals I have set for myself this year, which includes: 

LOSING WEIGHT:  This is something that I've been trying to do for years.  So, I'm hoping to lose some weight this year.

READ MORE:  For the last few years, I've been struggling with reading more books and I'm hoping to get back into reading this year.

GET 1,000 FOLLOWERS ON THIS BLOG:  I know that's a MASSIVE goal to achieve, but I would love to get over 1,000 Followers sometime this year!

For fans of The Cheerleaders and Sadie comes a psychological thriller that reminds us that in real life, endings are rarely as neat as happily ever after. A contemporay take on the Lizzie Borden story that explores how grief can cut deep.

Charlotte lost her mother six months ago, and still no one will tell her exactly what happened the day she mysteriously died. They say her heart stopped, but Charlotte knows deep down that there's more to the story.

The only person who gets it is Charlotte's sister, Maddi. Maddi agrees—people’s hearts don’t just stop. There are too many questions left unanswered for the girls to move on.

But their father is moving on. With their mother’s personal assistant. And both girls are sure that she’s determined to take everything that’s theirs away for herself.

Now the only way to get their lives back is for Charlotte and Maddi to decide how this story ends, themselves.

The Unraveling of Luna Forester

Expected Publication Date: December 9th, 2021

Buy on:   Bookshop

MATTHEW HAS ALWAYS PROTECTED LUNA’S SECRET.

NOW HE MUST PROTECT HER LIFE.

When his best friend Luna is found catatonic after a devastating house fire, Matthew begins to fall apart.

“Take care of them, Matthew.”

“Always.”

“Protect my secret.”

“Of course.”

That’s the promise he made to her only three nights ago. A solemn vow to protect their large found family of humans and supernatural creatures alike.

Fated to love her for the rest of his life, and unwilling to break his solemn vow, Matthew knows the only person who can help Luna is her grandmother. Through the woods they must go, just like a fairytale. But the forest is filled with deadly peril: poisonous black moss, chimeras, and worst of all, members of their family who don't want them to continue.

As they are picked off one by one, Matthew races to get Luna to safety, all the time doubting everything he thought was true.

Can Matthew untangle the twisted threads of Luna’s secret before he himself unravels?

A dark fantasy horror with Little Red Ridinghood undertones, perfect for fans of Last House on Needle Street (Catriona Ward), Split (J.B. Salsbury), Legion (Brandon Sanderson), Pretty Girl 13 (Liz Coley), The Quiet at the End of the World (Lauren James), Primal Fear (William Diehl), & Tell me your Dreams (Sydney Sheldon).

Oooh! A book about secrets and supernatural creatures?  Count me in!
