“An action-packed series full of adventures, romance and fun! If you want a fantasy world with sexy times, this series is for you.” -Rosee Reads

Gage runs the L’Griffe, AKA the dragon shifter mafia on Earth. Since the human realm has no supernatural police, the L’Griffe do more than loan money or sell contraband. When it comes to dragon shifters, the L’Griffe are the law. And Gage isn’t the only sheriff in town, either. Other secret groups have their own gangs, including ghouls, demons, and everything in between. It’s an awkward balance, but it works.

Until the demons consolidate into the Horde. This alliance plans to take over Earth, and that’s just for starters.

Now Gage must build his own connections to fight this new threat. Fortunately, Gage’s true love, Huntress, comes from a family of superhuman warriors. All of them agree to team up and put down the Horde. Success seems just around the corner.

Then the truth becomes clear.

Thanks to magical cloning, the Horde is led by an old enemy of Huntress’ family—one that everyone thought had been destroyed forever. Now their archnemesis is back and more powerful than anyone could have imagined.

Looks like defeating these demons may also destroy Gage, Huntress, and everyone they love.

Don’t miss the exciting conclusion to the Angelbound Offspring Series!

LISTEN-2-REVEIW - YA FANTASY - FAE'S ASCENT (Clover, #2) by Nicole Kilpatrick Narrator Cassandra Alling

 FAE'S ASCENT

Clover, #2
by Nicole Kilpatrick
Narrator: Cassandra Alling
Length: 9 hours and 4 minutes
Released: April 1st 2022
Publisher: Nicole Kilpatrick
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy


   The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . FAE'S ASCENT (Clover, #2) . . . I am going to put this simply. You get so much more. Clover comes to be her own person/fae. She learns much and endures much. This one has more action and adventure to feed on from book one of this series. We see more of Clover and what she should become. 

Cassandra's voice was familiar and allowed for me to jump right back in to the world that I enjoyed the first time around. 

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Nicole Kilpatrick. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it. 



May the road rise up to meet her. 

After barely escaping Alistair’s clutches, Clover struggles to unleash and master her dormant powers as she embraces her merrow lineage while still staying true to her human self. With the Seelie and Unseelie armies on the verge of war, the clock is ticking, but when a centuries-old secret is uncovered, alliances and loyalties are put to the test and both her worlds come crashing down around her. 

To defend against Alistair, protect the fate of the Fae, and safeguard her loved ones, Clover must soar higher than she’d ever thought possible. 

In this action-packed sequel, the very loss and heartache that could lead to Clover’s ruin could also lead to her redemption. The choice is hers.

LISTEN-2-REVIEW - YA PARANORMAL - SILENCE AT THE LOCK (Steele Secrets, #3) by Andie Cumbo-Floyd Narrator Aven Shore

 SILENCE AT THE LOCK

Steele Secrets, #3
by Andi Cumbo-Floyd
Narrator: Aven Shore
Length: 5 hours and 14 minutes
Released: April 29th 2022
Producer: Audiobook Empire
Publisher: Andilit
Genre: Paranormal; Young Adult



   The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . SILENCE AT THE LOCK (Steele Secrets, #3) . . . There was so much here. The were so many things that felt so real and so relevant to today's world. I have to say that I was not expecting to connect so well with Sarah. This was a town full of secrets, lies, and a few truths. 

Andie Cumbo-Floyd and the voice of Aven Shore are back with the third installment in the Steele Secrets series. Aven Shore has done her job well. She gave life and realism to the characters she portrayed. She brought forth characters you want to meet and root for them to succeed. 

I would recommend that those that are seeing this for the first time to line them up and listen to them back to back. Have a binge and see how things progress. I found some of the information relayed my be offensive to some. That would be a caution I would use with listening with smaller ears present. I would also use this caution for some adults with prejudices. 

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Audiobook Empire. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it. 



I didn’t expect to meet a grieving ghost or her dead mother. 

But then, I didn’t expect to find out my town had been the site of a lynching, a lynching that had left my friend Sarah motherless and had made her a victim of murder as well. 

Their deaths aren’t ancient history, though, not when one man who was a witness still holds sway in our small town. My friends and I have truth on our side, but will that be enough to keep us safe? 

If only telling the truth didn’t come so hard to so many.

 

  
 
Andi Cumbo-Floyd lives in the Southwestern Mountains of Virginia with her young son, an old dog, and a puppy who likes to eat furniture. When she’s not writing she likes to cross-stitch, binge magical shows, and garden.


 
Aven Shore is an audiobook narrator living in her off-grid tiny house in rural Eastern Canada, surrounded by forest and chicken friends, and honeybees. She loves books so much she's listening to one almost every minute she's not narrating one (she narrates romance as Avie Paige). She narrates live on Discord with other romance narrators on the Haven server. She is longing to travel and hike in mountains again, and dreaming of sleep in the lava fields of Iceland under Northern lights again, her favorite place in the world. Her past lives include being a carpenter, firefighter, tax accountant, and competitive snowboarder.

LISTEN-2-REVIEW - YA PARANORMAL - CHARLOTTE & THE TWELVE (Steele Secrets, #2) by Andie Cumbo-Floyd Narrator Aven Shore

CHARLOTTE & THE TWELVE 
Steele Secrets, #2
by Andi Cumbo-Floyd
Narrator: Aven Shore
Length: 5 hours and 41 minutes
Released: April 26th 2022
Producer: Audiobook Empire
Publisher: Andilit
Genre: Paranormal; Young Adult



  The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . CHARLOTTE AND TWELVE (Steele Secrets, #2) . . . Andie Cumbo-Floyd and the voice of Aven Shore are back with installment two of the Steele Secrets series. We have more adventures in the paranormal kind in a small town where things are not all that they seem to be. Short but filled with mystery, teen mischief, and a small town mentality.

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Audiobook Empire. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.


It’s not every day a ghost curls up in your lap … 

But when little Henrietta decides I’m trustworthy and introduces me to her teacher, Charlotte, I find myself wrapped up in the story of their murders. 

Before long, my friends and I are saving a building, solving a murder, and telling the stories that a lot of people in our small town would rather be left untold. Our best hope for ourselves and for Henrietta and Charlotte is that the truth really will set us free.
