Garden of Time
Emma Lee Parkinson’s life appears to be perfect. She’s young and beautiful and lives in an elegant high-rise condominium with her rich, handsome husband. Her closet is full of designer clothes, shoes, and purses. Dining at elegant restaurants, attending cocktail parties or upscale gala events are typical nights out on the town for her. Luxurious vacations are taken at least twice a year. This life of leisure allows Emma to pursue personal interests as well. She loves shopping for antiques, strolling through art galleries, museums, and furthering her own artistic skills with painting classes. Who could ask for more? But appearances can be deceiving. Emma hates her life. With a passion. Intimidated by a deep, dark secret, she lives in a constant state of dread. Battered, abused, and even threatened with death, she’s often on the edge of panic. Paralyzed by fear, she’s certain there’s no way out. Until the day she attempts to hang her latest find – a painting so enchanting that she buys it on a whim. Little does she know… this painting will change her life forever.

Stepping over the edge of darkness and deep into the secret world of vampires, twins, Elizabeth and Melinda discover that their friend, Fiona was right: the legend is real.
Everyone’s having fun at the masquerade party, but all Elizabeth wants is to get through the night and return to her charming

Song of Memory
FREE this Weekend!
A mysterious encounter on a dark highway sets two lonely people on a course of discovery.
Sara's humdrum world is turned upside down when she meets a stranger who says he knows her from the past and that she'd disappeared without a trace twenty years ago. She's bewildered and confused; why would someone play such a cruel prank on her?
Jack spent nearly two decades searching for her. But when he finally locates her, he is faced with a gut-wrenching discovery: Sara has absolutely no memory of him - or their life together.
Like a puzzle, Jack and Sara must piece back together the shreds of a life that was ripped apart. Their heartwarming story is one about loss, loneliness, and renewed love.
But I know the truth: I know from the nights of Coldness. I know the past will drag you backward and down, have you snatching at whispers of wind and the gibberish of trees rubbing together, trying to decipher some code, trying to piece together what was broken. It’s hopeless. The past is nothing but a weight. It will build inside of you like a stone.
Take it from me: If you hear the past speaking to you, feel it tugging at your back and running its fingers up your spine, the best thing to do—the only thing—is run.”
― Lauren Oliver, Delirium

The Kindness of Kings
I was given an ARc by the author for an honest review.In the beginning, the story seemed slow to me, but only because it felt more like a book for young adults, and not the type of book I would normally read (partying, going out to bars, hooking up, etc.)
I'm not sure how the final edits are in the paperback or the e-book, my copy was pdf and did have several typos, misuse of commas, and some of the paragraphs were confusing.
However, that being said, once I got to about midway I couldn't put the book down. The story was fantastic, the characters were believable, and some scenes brought tears to my eyes. I felt their pain, their joy and their sadness. And I always love a happy ending!
Thanks for letting me read your story, Chelsea.
