By 5 Comments

OUR FELLOW HARDCORE FANTASY ROMANCE LOVERS are so into this series!!

Michele G: So, for my fantasy lovers out there, I just finished Kill the Queen by Jennifer Estep. It was soooo good! It’s the first in a new series by her and has a really strong cast of characters. I listened to the audiobook and it was outstanding!

Tessa: Jennifer Estep’s Crown of Shards series? I’m want to say it’s her best series so far, but I’ve only read book one. … so goooooood! …The action is fast-paced. The only slow was waiting for the massacre to start. lol But, all the talk and such beforehand actually matters later, even the minor stuff. I love that nothing was actually wasted. read more

This one was released a couple of weeks ago (in fact, we gave away an ARC!!), and the author is this week’s newsletter sponsor! And to celebrate, she sent over a fun piece about how “Descending Into Madness (Winterland Tale Book 1)” came to be and she’s giving away a signed copy to one lucky commenter here!! 😀 !!!

I’ve always loved the idea of taking fairytales and twisting them, but never really found time or reason with my current series of PNR. So, when I was asked to do Such Violent Delights (Holiday theme), I actually just finished doing Red Riding Hood for Monster’s Ball and decided to do another re-telling instead of trying to do something from my current PNR. I love Alice In Wonderland and decided how cool would it be if it was with holiday characters instead. read more
