Song of Dark Tides Review Spotlight

This gorgeous and deliciously twisted Little Mermaid retelling comes out this week, and we are here for it!

“Song of Dark Tides is a twisted little mermaid retelling. Viola is the misunderstood sea witch who eats men’s hearts and souls. And Aric, the firstborn siren of her enemy, might be the key to her curse’s undoing. Dark and spicy as hell” – Beka Westrup

Song of Dark Tides is THE book for readers who love a retelling of a familiar fairy tale. This retelling of the Little Mermaid is an absolute MUST. READ!!!! If you enjoyed The Little Mermaid at any point of your life and wondered..."what if" about the "evil" sea witch...then this is the book to grab, dive into, and be swept away by!

What if - Triton wasn't the "adoring" father, but an evil king who took advantage of a young witch, and in his rage did something truly heinous. What if, he cursed her because he wants her to come crawling to him, and poisoned the sea below against her with his lies? What if all the sea witch really wanted was to be free to live her life and once again be happy?

Song of Dark Tides is going to pull you into the depths the minute you start this novel, so brace yourself! The book starts off with Triton. He's watching Viola as she goes about her business. He craves her darkly and will do anything to have her. He doesn't care the costs. But there is something else there. Something with him...it's waiting, but you get the sense that it won't wait for much longer...even if he is determined to cheat it as best he can.

The picture that the author paints with this first chapter is sure to pique your interest in what is going to happen next. The story shifts to Viola as she is on the hunt herself. Before you jump on the "judging" bandwagon let the scenes in this chapter play out. Let her unfold the truth of what it is that she does and is doing. Trust me...she's a champion.

This book alternates POV between Aric, the prince, and Viola. There are some steamy moments of back and forth between them, too. Whew! Grab a fan, hunny! You gonna need it! It will be a while before things get REALLY heated, but you're going to enjoy getting to that point of the story nonetheless.

Viola truly shines in this book. She's not perfect, but I don't care. I don't want her to be. I also love how her friends try to help her and guide her. They see what she's doing and they have their own thoughts, but the reality is that they can see it better than she can.

Part of me wanted this book to shift into a series, but honestly, this book is absolutely perfect as a standalone novel. The author gives you everything and more wrapped up in this book creating the perfect package. It's gripping, delicious, dark, and absolutely exquisite.

One thing is for sure, this author writes one hell of a book. I recommend keeping an eye on this author into the future because her books deliver. Every. Single. Time.

5 out of 5 stars

Thank you to the author, Beka Westrup, and R&R Book Tours for the opportunity to read and review this book. I look forward to what comes next!

Song of Dark Tides

Publication Date: November 28, 2023

Genre: Very Dark Fantasy Romance / Fairy Tale Retelling

Viola is a sea witch cursed by Triton. Cast aside from the glittering city of Atlantis, she starves for power and a real life above the surface-two hungers her curse will never allow her to satiate. She patrols the sea she’s claimed for her own and the nearby human city, feeding on unjust men and oceanfolk alike.

When she meets Aric, Triton’s firstborn son and heir to the throne, she decides to forge her own future from his suffering. She could finally be free of her curse… if she can only manage to trick the heartless siren out of his soul.

But just when Amy’s beginning to accept that the world is more vast and magical than she thought, she’s betrayed by someone she trusts. Now she finds herself being held prisoner by an enemy much more sinister than Zeus …

Stars Ascending Review Spotlight

What if your nightmares of love and death were real?

Welcome to the tour for the upcoming release Stars Ascending by Heather Smith. Read on for more details!

Stars Ascending is the first book in Heather Smith's Stars Ascending series and you are NOT going to want to miss out on this gripping story.

This book's gorgeous cover is sure to grab your attention, but it's what lies between the covers that will hold you trapped in it's grip till the last page to find out what happens next.

Stars Ascending starts out innocently enough. Carolynn and her best friend, Beth, are heading out to a local club to have a good time and party. Carolynn is already feeling insecure because of how she's dressed, but Beth insists that they'll be having a great time! So, she relents. What comes next is going to be completely unexpected.

Cue the entrance of Donnie. Who is Donnie? Well, for now, he's a mystery guy who was lurking in the shadows of the club. She knows nothing about this guy, but she knows that the heat between them while they danced...undeniable. While it goes no further, it does stick in her mind long after she's left.

Of course, the author is quick to let readers know that Carolynn is special. She can read minds and her best friend, Beth, knows all about it. So, that means one thing - Carolynn probably let it slip. LOL! It's fine though, but it adds a new angle to the story. It means that those around her are comfortable with who and what she is. What is she exactly? Well, that's a mystery shrouded in shadows until you get deeper into the story, but it's tied to the nightmares that begin plaguing her once again.

This book has a mildly slow start, but just look at it as the author setting the stage. Preparing the foundation a piece at a time so that readers can get some background on Carolynn and her history. It's a touch sad when you learn that she was abandoned at birth, but she's not alone. She has a massive black she-wolf and let me tell you...I'm living for it!

There is so much to uncover with this story and once it gains traction, things are off to the races! You will be devouring this book. Since this is part of a series, there will be a bit of a cliffhanger. Will be a crazy insane one that has you throwing the book at the wall? No. So take a deep breath. LOL! That's the upside. It will leave you with your interest piqued because of the unexpected angle it leaves off on.

Love a good fantasy novel with tons of twists? Then be sure to add this one to your list (ya know, since it's not out just quite yet). You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars

Thank you to the author, Heather Smith, and R&R Book Tours for the opportunity to read and review this book! I look forward to what comes next!

Stars Ascending

Publication Date: December 1, 2023

Genre: Adult Fantasy Romance

What if your nightmares of love and death were real?

Thunder cracked overhead, angels flew through the air, Gods battling on a field. Her best friend dead in front of her beside her mother’s cold body. Ice blue eyes pleading with her, a sword protruding from her chest.

Carolynn Starr always felt like a freak, being abandoned at birth, reading minds, and speaking to animals wasn’t normal, but her life was. That is until she met Donnie, a stranger that came into her life just as she started having the same repeated nightmare. Now she can’t escape him, he’s around every corner, consuming every thought. She can’t help the pull she feels towards the man she just met, but what does he have to do with her dreams? Facing threats against her life, a prophecy, and a world she never knew existed, she wonders who she can trust, including herself.

About the Author

Heather Smith has been crafting stories for as long as she could remember. It wasn’t until she was fifteen that she wrote her first novel that she had no intentions of publishing.

(cringe) At nineteen she wrote her first completed manuscript that is still a work in progress, but will soon turn into a four-book series. Since then, she’s worked on countless other projects and is constantly writing down new plot ideas. Yes, her minds a mess.

When she isn’t writing about fantastical worlds, she resides in Hudson, Florida. She is a mother of four; Carolynn, Aiden, Evelynn, and Cameron. She enjoys curling up on the couch with her favorite author Cassandra Clare, drinking hot tea, playing in the pool with her kids, and dreaming of new worlds to explore. She has a small obsession with all things Disney. Tattoos, she can’t seem to get enough of, as well as her pets. She currently has two Bengal cats, Stormy and Skye, and two puppy dogs, the Great Dane Luna and a Chocolate Labrador Rose. But, most importantly, she is addicted to Barqs Root Beer.

Heather is a self-published, indie author.

Pariah's Lament Spotlight

Welcome to the book tour for Pariah’s Lament by Richie Billing. If you enjoy epic fantasy, adventure, and romance, this one’s for you!

Pariah’s Lament (Of Metal and Magic Core #1)

Genre: Fantasy Romance/ Adventure

“So often it’s the forgotten who possess the power to change the world.”

When an attempt is made on the life of Ashara, Keeper of Yurr, his young, hapless advisor Edvar must uncover and stop those behind it.

With enemies in the capital city and the belligerent Tesh, Keeper of neighbouring nation Karrabar stirring trouble in the Borderlands, can Edvar hold together Ashara’s brittle reign?

The troubles ripple throughout Yurr, affecting an ancient race of people known as the Amast, who in their time of utmost need, turn to pariah Isy for salvation. Rejected by society, kith and kin, can Isy guide the Amast to safety during the greatest turmoil Yurr has known since the War of the Damned?

Pariah’s Lament will take you on a rollercoaster of an adventure ‘that will keep you spellbound as you traverse the world alongside Isy and Edvar’ (Books Behind The Title). And along the way you’ll experience ‘intense fighting scenes, a little romance and flawed characters’ (Sarah Lillian Books).

If you love to explore fantasy worlds, this book won’t disappoint. Part of a shared universe populated by other authors, the setting in Pariah’s Lament has proven a huge hit with readers, with some praising the ‘insane level of detail’ (The Book Suite) and vividness of its descriptions.

Get it Here!

How to do that? Scoring the coveted promotion. But beyond the internal office competition, the universe seems keen to throw her into the path of her least favorite defense attorney more often than desired—Dean Yearwood.

DEAN YEARWOOD has everything all figured out. Within the year, he expects to make associate at one of the best criminal defense firms in the state. His social life keeps him satisfied, and he makes enough money to live the dream. However, his family worries about his lack of a romantic relationship and intentions of finding someone. Dean has no intention of changing his mind unless he meets someone who checks off all the boxes.

Yet, the one woman who comes remotely close hates his guts with a fiery passion, too much of a risk to gamble on. Dean swears the feeling is mutual because January and he would rather die than imagine each other as anything but opponents on opposite sides of the law.

But when their paths continue to intersect in meaningful ways beyond the courtroom, the lines between enemies begin to blur. Whether the mutual hatred can stand will be left to the jury of their hearts.

When a charming attorney encounters a newly single woman saddled with the difficult task of guardianship, he must do whatever it takes to keep the line friendly.

NINA BYNDEL struggles to see the silver lining in the cards she’s been dealt. After losing her sister in a freak accident, Nina is appointed the guardian of her young niece. That, coupled with a broken engagement to a fiancé she swore would be her forever, Nina knows that her life will never be the same.

But when she learns of her estranged family’s intentions to sue her for custody of her niece and their underhanded intentions for doing so, she prepares to fight. She won’t allow the family that turned their back on her sister when pregnant to take her niece, which leads her into the life of one Cole Yearwood.

COLE YEARWOOD is the last man standing in his family—the last one without a life partner. He feels the pressure to find someone, enhanced by his older brother’s wedding fever, but isn’t sure where to start. However, his life is taken over when Nina consults his office for help.

Nina is a dream girl, but Cole knows that neither she nor he should step past a professional line. Yet, he and Nina keep finding their way back to one another in everyday life. Neither are looking for something serious, so being friends seems harmless enough.

But will they stay “just friends” as the court battle for Nina’s niece brings them closer than they’ve been to anyone in a long time?
