Review: Waging War (The Immortal Descendants #4) by April White

April 5, 2016April 4, 2016by The Lit Bitch1 Comment

For the last couple of years I’ve been a big fan of the Immortal Descendants series! It’s been really fun watching the series evolve and mature over the years!

I love the main characters and the premise for the story so when Waging War came out I naturally agreed to review it!

In the previous books, Clocker Saira Elian, time travels through multiple different periods to save friends, family, of course stop the Mongers from gaining power. This book is no different….this time we find Saira time traveling to WWII to try and stop a brutal massacre.

Saira and her friend Ringo, travel back to WWII Bletchley Park to team up with vampire (and Saira’s love interest) to try and stop said massacre. Together they work to crack the Nazi code and expose a Monger traitor intent on changing the course of history.

They also meet up with some new characters, one being a female commando from the French resistance, to hunt down an elite unit of Monger soldiers – Hitler’s Werewolves – before the terror squad can strike a fatal blow at the heart of the Allied war effort.

November 4, 2015November 3, 2015by The Lit Bitch7 Comments

It’s November and that means it’s National Novel Writing Month! For those of you social media savvy readers out there you will notice the hash tag #NaNoWriMo all over Twitter and Facebook and that’s what the hash tag is all about….National Novel Writing Month!

In honor of #NaNoWriMo I am spotlighting an author whose books I absolutely LOVE and she happens to be from my hometown of Salem, OR. Colleen Houck’s Tiger’s Curse series has been an absolute favorite of mine since I read the first book! She has come out with a Tiger’s Curse novella called TIGER’S PROMISE!

I am thrilled to be able to offer an e-copy of this outstanding book as well (see how to enter at the bottom of this post!).

TIGER’S PROMISE recalls the story beginning of Ren and Kishan. Here is the summary:

Before the curse, there was a promise. A prequel to the bestselling Tiger’s Curse series, this much anticipated novella recalls the beginning of Ren and Kishan’s story. Before Kelsey there was a girl, raised by a villain, whose love for a hero changed the course of history.

Trapped under the thumb of her abusive and powerful father Lokesh, Yesubai struggles to keep her own magical abilities secret while evading his dark powers. When Lokesh promises Yesubai to the prince of a neighboring kingdom, she becomes the central pawn in his plot to destroy the ruling family and take power for himself. Yesubai is trapped by her father’s threats and desperate to protect the man she comes to love, but she knows that any decision she makes will have dire consequences. As dark forces gather around her, Yesubai must decide if she’s willing to reveal that somewhere deep within her she has the power to change everything.
