Forsaken Souls
by Stephany Wallace

Untold "I'm sorry's," overdue "I love you's," and ignored forgiveness are the unspoken stories of the ICU. Emma Adams has lost hope... the very thing that fed her spirit, and inspired her to become a nurse. Although she tries her best to be positive, it has been hard to remain unscathed when all that surrounds her is death. With a powerful desire to help others driving her, she locks her heart and puts a smile on her face every day, relying on her playful nature to assist the patients who need her. Then, there are the few thrilling moments when she gets a glimpse of the supernatural world, and senses the souls that roam the ICU.

Until one day, a soul changes her life forever. Just as the darkness threatens to drown her, Emma will find light in the most unexpected place... next to the missing piece of her heart. When the unthinkable happens, will she find the courage to risk everything for love? Would you?

Colliding Souls
by LM Preston

Argia was strange, and she admitted it. It didn’t mean she couldn’t love, or hope to enjoy the small moments in her life that collided with the most handsome athlete on the high school football team. She desired to be normal, and accepted that it would never be. Argia faked it pretty good, or pretended to. Until the day Micah uncovered her secrets and saved her soul. Argia just had to lose everything she cared about to see the strength he’d uncovered within her.

Happy Book Birthday: Golden by KM Robinson @kmrovinsonbooks @snowywingspub

Today marks the launch of GOLDEN by K.M. Robinson. Check out this modern Goldilocks retelling!

Golden
by KM Robinson
Snowy Wings Publishing

When the girl with the golden hair betrays everyone, not even she has hope of surviving.

The stories say that Goldilocks was a naïve girl who wandered into a house one day. Those stories were wrong. She was never naïve. It was all a perfectly executed plan to get her into the Baers' group to destroy them.

Trained by her cousin, Lowell, and handler, Shadoe, Auluria's mission is to destroy the Baers by getting close to the youngest brother, Dov, his brother and sister-in-law and the leaders of the Baers' group. When she realizes Dov isn't as evil as her cousin led her to believe, she must figure out how to play both sides or her deception will cause everyone in her world to burn.

If her allegiances are discovered, either side could destroy her...if the Society doesn't get her first.

Savage Souls by SM Boyce and Broken Souls by Jennifer Malone Wright #runesuniverse

Today I'm featuring two Runes Universe books: Savage Souls by SM Boyce and Broken Souls by Jennifer Malone Wright. Check them out!

Savage Souls
by SM Boyce

There are two things 18-year-old Cadence Murphy is proud of: she is an amazing Witch with the healing magic of nature, and she is brutally efficient at self-defense. There's just one tiny problem: an ancient darkness in her blood is messing with her healing abilities. When some very powerful, cruel men want to destroy her for it, she must tempt fate itself to stop them.

Dishonorably discharged from the marines, 20-year-old Drew Richards uses his deadly skills to neutralize criminals and lowlifes... for a fee. So when a wealthy businessman offers half a million to kill some girl, Drew is more than willing—until he sees her, and his priorities change. But the Norns have decided Drew is destined to kill Cadence. Can he resist his destiny? Suspenseful, romantic, and rich with chilling magic, Savage Souls captures the essence of forbidden love—and the consequences that come with it.

Broken Souls
by Jennifer Malone Wright

The battle against the rebel Immortals cost the Witches many lives, and Ivy’s mother was among them. The grief and anger that were born inside her that day, soon turned into a hatred for all Immortals. Instead of finding a way to let go, she nurtured it with time. A year later, ready to take on the world and filled with excitement about her new adventure, Ivy is finally off to college after being homeschooled her whole life. But the one thing she didn't expect, happened. She attracted the attention of a fighter and his Immortal friend when she inadvertently stumbled into an underground fight. Dustin grew up being tossed from foster home to foster home and fighting to survive... literally.

While his friends ended up turning to crime and drugs, Dustin used his fists and fought for cash instead of stealing. The ring became his release and the one thing in life that made him feel as if he were actually alive. He vowed he wouldn’t follow in the footsteps of the many who came before him. He got a job, took online college classes, and worked his way up in the world. He swore to never let anything get in the way of his plans for success. Until she came along. A pretty girl who didn’t belong in his world, yet he couldn’t get her out of his mind. Fate has not been kind to these broken souls and it has yet to deal them the final blow. Will they ever be able to find peace within themselves, or will peace come from each other.

Author: Vicki L. Weavil
Release Date: May 9, 2017
Publisher: Snowy Wings Publishing


Snow Queen Thyra Winther is immortal, but if she can't reassemble a shattered enchanted mirror by her eighteenth birthday she's doomed to spend eternity as a wraith.

Armed with magic granted by a ruthless wizard, Thyra schemes to survive with her mind and body intact. Unencumbered by kindness, she kidnaps local boy Kai Thorsen, whose mathematical skills rival her own. Two logical minds, Thyra calculates, are better than one. With time rapidly melting away she needs all the help she can steal.

A cruel lie ensnares Kai in her plan, but three missing mirror shards and Kai's childhood friend, Gerda, present more formidable obstacles.

Thyra's willing to do anything – venture into uncharted lands, outwit sorcerers, or battle enchanted beasts -- to reconstruct the mirror, yet her most dangerous adversary lies within her. Touched by the warmth of a wolf pup's devotion and the fire of a young man's love, the thawing of Thyra's frozen heart could prove her ultimate undoing.

He’s a Valkyrie, she’s a Grimnir. Their love is frozen in time.

As a sixteen-year-old slave girl, Elpi Moros found her soul mate among Genghis Khan’s vast army. For the briefest moment, they knew happiness. But when Sai is killed on the battlefield, she drives a knife into her heart, unable to face a lifetime without him. She’s been escorting souls to the underworld ever since, enduring an eternity with a broken heart.

Destiny drove them apart, but when they are both given missions in Kayville, Oregon, their love draws them together. With competing assignments and dueling destinies, will Sai and Elpi choose to honor their masters, or the love that claimed their hearts, long, long ago?

Title: The Taming of the Dudebro, Volume 1
Author: Jane Watson
Release Date: April 18, 2017
Publisher: Snowy Wings Publishing


This special paperback bind-up includes the first two books of the series, The Taming of the Dudebro and A Midsummer Night's Dudebro!

In The Taming of the Dudebro, Patricia’s dream is coming true: she is directing her own play, a one-act written by her best friend, Grizz, for the school’s annual Drama Festival. Everything seems to be perfect until her teacher assigns Kurt Minola, the biggest jerk in the school, to work on her play. Kurt is lazy, selfish and irresponsible. The only good thing about him is his attractive twin brother, Ben—but even he can’t seem to change Kurt’s attitude. Kurt’s presence turns Patricia’s dream into a nightmare... until Patricia and Grizz decide to take matters into their own hands, and subject this insufferable surfer-dude to some taming.

Then, in A Midsummer Night's Dudebro, with the theater festival behind her and graduation around the corner, Grizz Sheridan figured she was done with Kurt Minola. She wants to focus on spending time with her friends and enjoying her last summer before she goes off to college. No such luck now that Kurt’s crushing on her best friend (and his twin brother’s girlfriend), Patricia. It seems like he’s glued to her side no matter where she goes—class, parties, even Prom.

Grizz thinks her luck is changing when she begins working at Merry Mule Coffee Roasters and meets super hottie, Dimitri. That is, until a certain surfer boy starts working there, too—and suddenly seems to have turned his romantic interests elsewhere…

Will Grizz survive the summer?
