Book Blurb:
Kathryne Kennedy’s historical fantasy romances have garnered awards and a growing readership. This exciting new series, set against the lavish backdrops of Georgian and Victorian England so beloved by romance readers, is deliciously dark and exciting.
Fighting for control of a kingdom that is split into seven domains, Elven warlords use their human slaves to breed an endless supply of soldiers for their armies. Dominic Raikes, the half-blood son of the Elven Lord himself is one such warrior. Betrothed to Lady Cassandra, who has been raised in a convent to keep her pure, he little suspects that she’s been secretly trained as an assassin to murder his …

Explore This! Grand Rapids and Holland, Michigan
This week’s tour takes us to Grand Rapids, Michigan, more specifically East Grand Rapids (I couldn’t find much of a distinction pictorially, but I’m sure that those who live there know the difference) and to Holland, Michigan. My inspiration comes from reading a cute YA book called I Now Pronounce You Someone Else by Erin McCahan. Here’s a little about the book:
Eighteen-year-old Bronwen Oliver has a secret: She’s really Phoebe, the lost daughter of the loving Lilywhite family. That’s the only way to explain her image-obsessed mother; a kind but distant stepfather; and a brother with a small personality complex. Bronwen knows she must have been switched at birth, and she can’t wait to get away from her “family” for good.
Then she meets Jared Sondervan. He’s sweet, funny, everything she wants — and he has the family Bronwen has always …

Interview Author Gail Carriger
We are very happy to have author Gail Carriger here today. She the author of The Parasol Protectorate Series and the third book, Blameless, will be released on August 31st. Please give her a warm welcome.
The Geeky Lover: Gail can you please tell us a bit about yourself?
Gail Carriger: I was born in small town California to a British ex-pat gardener with a tea habit and a woodworking Dane who sidelined as a philosophical scribbler. I spent my summers in Devonshire, and matured with a burning need to investigate the past and escape to other small towns all around the world. Hence archaeology. I ended up back in California with too many advanced degrees, a tea habit inherited from my mother, a scribbling habit inherited from my father, and a dreadful penchant for gadding off to foreign countries …

Review: A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle
Format Read: eBook
Number of page: n/a
Release Date: 1887
Publisher: n/a
Formats Available: Paperback, eBook
Purchasing Info: Amazon, The Book Depository, Goodreads
Book Blurb:
The most famous introduction in the history of crime fiction takes place in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “A Study in Scarlet”, bringing together Sherlock Holmes, the master of science detection, and John H. Watson, the great detective’s faithful chronicler. This novel not only establishes the magic of the Holmes myth but also provides the reader with a dramatic adventure yarn which ranges from the foggy, gas-lit streets of London to the burning plains of Utah.
My Thoughts:
It was in A Study in Scarlet that Arthur Conan Doyle first introduced to the world’s most well known fictional detective – Sherlock Holmes. Not only do we get to meet Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, but we get …
