happy thursday everyone
Good Thursday all , I hope this day finds all well and reading up a storm . Today I am going to review SPELLBOUND IN SLEEPYHOLLOW. A VON TASSEL SISTERS ANTHOLOGY by three great authors Patricia Elmer, Rosalie Lario and Boone Brux
BOOK BLURB
The Von Tassel sisters are in deep. With a new inn opening up to non-magic guests, these three witches have enough to worry about, but after a deal with the Headless Horseman, all three Von Tassel sisters must find their true loves by All Hallow's Eve or forever be trapped as ghosts in Sleepy Hollow like their ill-fated aunties
Will Stephanie be able to forgive her playboy ex? Will Bri be able to win back her childhood crush-turned-ghost hunter? Will Lexi be able to sway her supernatural employee? And will they all be able to fall in love by the week's end?
MY REVIEW
This was a set on my TBR LIST ever since it was released. This anthology is a great twist on the HEADLESS HORSEMAN and revolves around three sisters and there aunties who are 250 year old auntie , who are ghosts haunting the inn. There are three books in the series with each sister and auntie involved .
The first book BEWITCHING HER ENEMY by Patricia Elmer. This is Stephanie and Katarina's story. Katirana was the first of the Von Tassel witches to summon the headless horseman to help her and was cursed to walk the grounds of the inn. Stephanie in a time of panic does the same thing to help with getting rid of her witchy bitchy boss. Which in turn curses all three sisters to find their true loves by Hallow's Eve or be cursed just like the aunties. Stephanie and Katarina 's situations are so similar that the men they loved have cheated on them. So they thought, as the story goes on they are thrown together and situations are resolved , This was a great way to start the anthology, you laugh and you will want to slap a few people upside the head,,
BOOK TWO: UNDER HIS SPELL by Rosalie Lario
This installment is Brianne and Elizabeth's story, Bri has had a crush on Jason since she was a teenager but it went bad fast, and she put it behind her, she knew that it wouldn't work out cause she was a witch and he was a dud (a non magical person) until the day he showed back up and all the old feelings came crashing back. Elizabeth and Brome were so in love but between misunderstandings and a little bit of comedy will they get back together,
This was a more comical part of the book between the misunderstandings and the fact that Brie keeps calling Jason a dud. You will be laughing and cheering for them , you also might want to scratch a few eyeballs by the time you are finished,
BOOK THREE: HEXING HER EX by Boone Bruxe
In the final installment we have Stephanie's and Carson's wedding coming up and Bri and Jason are together. Two of the three aunties are with their true loves . Now its Lexie's and Cassandra's story this was a story that has a lot going on. Cassandra is the oldest and the craziest aunt. She was a hoot to read. As the story goes on we find out that Abigail did a dirty on Cassandra that ended up getting Cassandra killed. Lexie is drawn back to her old boyfriend and they work their way back to each other. There is an epic ending to the book that you will love,
So over all review of all three books, they were great , you have the HEADLESS HORSEMAN , check. Hilarious but ornery 250 year old aunties ,who are meddling ghosts. The men in their lives both ghosts and real are true men with lust in their eyes and love in their hearts and three sisters that will do anything for each other, even getting cursed to help each other out.
This is a humorous set of book that will make you laugh and cry. The three authors did a great job telling each of the stories . It is such a great twist on the HEADLESS HORSEMAN STORY check it out

HAPPY HUMP DAY EVERYONE
Hey everyone welcome to hump day today is book two in Connie Corcoran Wilson's series RED IS FOR RAGE
BOOK BLURB
RED IS FOR RAGE is the second book in the award-winning THE COLOR OF EVIL series. It was named the winner in the Thriller category of the Pinnacle book award by NABE (National Association of Book Entrepreneurs) in 2013.
At the end of Book One (THE COLOR OF EVIL), Stevie Scranton, best friend of Tad McGreevy, went missing. Best friend Tad McGreevy, who has the ability to see auras around others that lead him to "see" the crimes of the evil-doers, vows to do everything he can to find Stevie. In their search, they discover a monster every bit as dangerous as Pogo, the killer clown, and must confront him in order to save Stevie.
Pogo, from Book One, still is a threat, hoping to kill Tad to keep his freedom, since he thinks Tad has the power to turn him over to the police. Now, Tad must learn to harness his unique gift. Stevie's fate hangs in the balance as well as his own life.(less)
MY REVIEW
This is the second book in the series, We had a cliff hanger at the end of the first book, Stevie has gone missing They pour everything into searching for him. There is another monster out there even worse then Pogo the killer clown, Tad must use his gift to find Stevie and stay alive.
All I can say that Connie did it again she took us on a roller coaster ride yet again, This is the second book and some time has passed and Stevie has been missing for months, and POGO THE KILLER CLOWN has escaped jail and is looking to kill Tad. Tad still hasn't gotten the hang of his powers.
Her characters as well written all of them have their faults, Connie has paid more attention to her characters, she takes them through the depths of hell just to come out the other side stronger. Which in turn makes me care about them so much more. She took the time to make their interactions deeper and more intense. She has also take my hatred for clowns just one step higher.
The author has done it better in this second book. the story is darker but you still have young Tad trying to get a hang of everything, kind a like all teenagers. The story is so dark and you feel so much . Trust me you could get to the ugly cry stage in this book . Especially with Stevie. The eeriness jumps off the page at you as you read, You could be page turning all night long when you start. Connie will take you to the darkest of dark and bring you back out the other stronger. This would be a great read for those cool evening all snuggled up in bed with the lights off.

today is a special day it is cover reveal for ATHENA'S ORACLE by J.D Brown
Happy Monday all today I have the honor of showing you all the cover for ATHENA'S ORACLE by J.D Brown.
About the Author: J.D. Brown knows that
vampires exist because she’s dating one and no, he doesn’t sparkle.
Unfortunately, he’s not immortal either (or maybe her standards are too low). A
magnet for subcultures and weirdness, J.D. was that socially awkward girl with
more fictional friends than real ones. As a child battling a hearing loss and a
medical condition with no name, J.D. found comfort in books where strong women
always saved the day and got the guy. An obsession with Charmed, Sabrina the Teenage
Witch and Buffy the Vampire Slayer led
J.D. to believe that her mutated chromosome made her something more, not
something less. Thus her stubborn flare to persevere was born. A lover of fine
cuisine, coffee, and shoes, J.D. never understood why shoe stores don’t serve
Starbucks and soufflé. She resides in Wisconsin were she writes urban
fantasy—aka vampires for adults—and has political debates with her dogs. She
loves to hear from fans and is active on http://Facebook.com/AuthorJDBrown
Athena’s Oracle
is a prequel to the novels Dark Heirloom
and Dark Liaison, also by J.D. Brown. Set in 4th century B.C.E., Athena’s
Oracle chronicles the romance between Leena and Jalmari during the very
early trials of their immortal lives.
BOOK BLURB
Leena’s ‘gift of sight’ secures her place as the
next great oracle of Athena. Instead of being groomed for wifehood like other
girls, Leena spends her days within the walls of the Acropolis, shuffled around
by the clergy and doomed to be a virgin forever. Before her ascension, Leena
decides to take matters into her own hands. With the help of her father’s book
of alchemy, she casts an incantation calling forth her own personal hero. But
when that hero turns out to be a rogue vampyre prince with a haunted past,
Leena begins to question if her feelings for him are the work of divine
intervention, or a love spell gone horribly wrong.
