Owl Eyes: A Fairy Tale Molly Lazer Publication date: March 20th 2018 Genres: Fairy Tales, Fantasy, Young Adult Nora knows three things: she is a servant, her parents are dead, and she lives in the kitchen house with her adoptive family. But her world is torn apart when she discovers that her birth father has always been right there, living in the house she serves. This discovery leads Nora to more questions. Why was she thrown in an ash-covered room for asking about her father? Why is a silver-bladed knife the only inheritance from her birth mother? Why is magic forbidden in her household—and throughout the province of the Runes? The answers may not be the ones Nora hoped for, as they threaten a possible romance and her relationship with the adoptive family she loves. With the announcement of a royal ball, Nora must decide what she is willing to give up in order to claim her stolen birthright, and whether this new life is worth losing her family—and herself.

Today we're chatting to A.E. Decker, author of Into the Moonless Night.    I write because… My overlords on Skaro won’t allow me to begin my mission of extermination until I complete ten novels.    If I were your favorite cookie, what would I be? You’d be a crumbly, buttery shortbread with a gooey chocolate center and perhaps a discreet sprinkling of toffee.    Plotter or pantster? A plantster! This is a weird hybrid that starts out with a plan, throws it away halfway through the manuscript, and improvises from there.    What is your favorite type of character to write about and why? I like characters who are willing to go to extremes, to make grand and ridiculous gestures either to serve their cause, or because it fits in with their humor at that particular moment.    Hamburgers or sushi? Sushi goes much better with avocado. Sushi wins hands-down.    Name three things on your desk. An hourglass filled with bright pink sa...

Wicked Charm by Amber Hart Publication Date:  January 30, 2018 Publisher:  Entangled Teen Nothing good comes from living in the Devil's swamp. Willow Bell thinks moving to the Okefenokee area isn't half bad, but nothing prepares her for what awaits in the shadows of the bog. Girls are showing up dead in the swamp. And she could be next. Everyone warns Willow to stay away from Beau Cadwell—the bad boy at the top of their suspect list as the serial killer tormenting the small town. But beneath his wicked, depthless eyes, there's something else that draws Willow to him. When yet another girl he knew dies, though, Willow questions whether she can trust her instincts…or if they're leading to her own death. 3 stars The beginning of the book didn't grab me as much as I would have liked. AUTHOR INFO: Amber Hart resides on the Florida coastline with family and a plethora of animals she affectionately refers to as her urban farm. When unable to find a book...
