Wishlist Wednesday

Created by Pen to Paper
Each week we will share a book that has been recently added to our wishlist or has been on it for ages. A book I can't wait to add to my shelf. 
I've been working on my ebook wishlist. I have so many potential amazing books that I want to read. 

I've enjoyed this author's books. I can't wait to dive into this one. 

Crown of Dragons

by Nina Wilker 
Add to (Goodreads) Shelf 


The normal world is an illusion.
Separated from other realms by a thin layer of powerful magic, humans are protected from the fae and dragons, the ghosts and warlocks, and an unfurling evil.

Khali Elliot is a princess —of sorts. She wasn’t born royal and yet she’s destined to become queen. As a Dragon Blessed with four elements running through her blood, her future lineage has already been claimed by the Brightcaster’ throne. She will marry one of the princes. She won’t get to choose which one. She will be obedient.
Until she’s not.
Hazel Forrester sees dead people. Her life is pretty much a bad made-for-tv special where being the haunted girl isn’t a gift, but a curse. Going away to college in a small town where nobody knows her seems to be a solid plan. That is until she meets Dean Ashton, the infuriating boy with fire in his eyes and far too many questions. She will ignore him. She will act normal.
Until she can’t.

Two vastly different realms. Two vastly different girls.
But the realms are bleeding together and the girls are linked. Bound. Spelled.
And little do they know, one can’t survive without the other.

From the USA Today Bestselling and Amazon Top 100 author, comes Crown of Dragons, the first novel in the Dragon Blessed trilogy and look into the Bleeding Realms world, where high fantasy and urban fantasy are layered with forbidden romance, deadly magic, and nefarious designs.

For ages 14+, Crown of Dragons is a full-length 85 thousand word novel. One click today!

Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases we're eagerly anticipating. In my case not so patiently waiting for the new releases, which I lack.

The academy theme is really popular right now. This one is on my can't wait to get my hands on. The cover is stunning. 

My Choice this week is

Title -
Blood Witch 

by - Rae Hendricks, Rene Folsom 
Expected Publication - November 4th 2019
Add to (Goodreads)

I thought turning 18 would make me a free witch, but now I am staring a death sentence in the face...

I should have listened to my uncle when he told me not to go to that party, but it was the party of the century. And I had spent way too much time being the mopey emo witch girl whose parents had died serving "the man". I wanted to let loose. But I didn't take the risks seriously.

Not all paranormals are good, and many have sinister plans best served by an unsuspecting witch who had a lot too much to drink. 

Next I know it, I am begging for my life after having been turned into an abomination against my will; an illegal blood witch who is too dangerous to live. All I can hope is that the fact that my father died in the service of the very people that hold my fate in their hands now still means something to them. And they will show me mercy.

Though, going to their academy to be trained to die just the same as he did is a rough definition of mercy. 


One-click this Young Adult Urban Fantasy novel perfect for fans of 13 Ways to Midnight and Shadowspell Academy.
What are you waiting on?

Author Bio:
I'm a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, "No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book." I didn't think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn't already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven't been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

Blitz: Dope & Diamonds



Dope & Diamonds 
Natalie Bennett 
(New Money Trilogy #1)
Publication date: September 10th 2019
Genres: Adult, Romance


His reign.
Her damnation.

There are two sides of my city.
There’s the filthy side–a place brimming with corruption and greed–the rotting carcass of a criminal underworld.
And then there’s the opulent side—a place of elegance and wealth—home of the elite and heart of that same cruel underbelly. Somewhere I could only dream of living.
That all changed when D’Angelo Remmington made me his latest acquisition. In the blink of an eye, I went from a street rat to a kingpin’s most prized possession.
He gave me everything I wanted, but there’s a saying about being careful what you wish for, because you might get everything you’ve been seeking, but nothing in life comes without a cost.
Now ensnared in a world that is as ugly as it is beautiful, what began as a fairy-tale slowly becomes a bittersweet tragedy of sensuality, violence, betrayal, and unrequited love.
And in order to survive, I must kill the naïve dreamer I once was, and embrace the vicious woman I’ve been forced to become.


Author Bio:
Shameless author of twisted unconventional love stories.
Natalie has a penchant for (writing) villainous immoral men, and tends to deviate away from traditional happily ever afters.
When she isn't slaying words on multiple projects, she's hanging out in the sunshine state with her husband, their three boys, and her pit-bull named Lulu.

Author Bio


Marie Skye is your average career driven woman by day, and a hidden lover of all things dirty by night. Or, as she likes to say, professional by day; author whore by night.


Army brat, and now just a brat. She currently resides in Austin, TX where there really is a difference between breakfast burritos, and breakfast tacos, but she really doesn't know what the difference is.

If it's dark, and full of inappropriate material. She's attracted to it. She prefers making her character's work for their happy ever after, if they get one, and she has no problem making sure they endure every obstacle to try to get there. She's known as not having a filter, and if she's asked for an opinion, be prepared to get a response that's most likely a mixture of sarcasm and bluntness.

She also has a soft side, and volunteers her time to support Elephants, as well as not attending any events that has elephants in their acts. She also loves sloths, and cute kittens, and prides herself on being able to quote the entire series of Friends.

Marie is the type of person that can be friends with anyone, but if you have cake, you're pretty much her best friend.
