Romeo finds himself trekking through the dangerous wildlands to rescue the young queen with a clownish wizard, a sassy she-cat, a pretty healer, and a mysterious solider.

Here's my lovely review from Goodread. Absolutely 5 stars!

The Witching Hour: Hound of Darkness (The Witching Hour Series Book 2)The Witching Hour: Hound of Darkness by Savannah Jezowski
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Decided to read this as part of the blog tour for the book release because, you know, magical cats. (So disclaimer, I guess, that I received this copy for free with no review guarantees, blah blah blah.)

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Light vs dark, good vs evil, all the good stuff you'd want and sassy cats to go with it.

If you haven't read Part 1, there is a link to get it for free at Amazon at the beginning of the book--it's really a short story, not a full book.

A great read for kids and the YA audience, though fun for adults as well. Recommend!

Protect friendship, family or a creature that's not supposed to exist? Ana and Daisy have been friends since third grade, but a rift in the space-time continuum in their little town may change that. When a unicorn waltzes into the pasture with Daisy’s appaloosas, a poacher, who will stop at nothing to gain the unicorn horn and its healing tears, shows up. Daisy is focused on saving the unicorn while Ana’s parents face sudden life-threatening health issues. When Ana learns about the healing tears, she’s forced to choose between friendship and her family’s health. Can the girls find the grace to compromise and save Ana’s parents and the unicorn?

How can you resist dragons and unicorns and all for only 99 cents each! 


Here's a brief interview with Will, the main character, in case you still need convincing.

What is your name? Please describe yourself for my readers.            I’m Will Long, a freshman at Myrtle Beach High School. There’s nothing really special about me. I’m about normal height with blonde hair. 
What is your favorite occupation?            If I could do anything I wanted to, I’d be at Carl’s Crab Shack every single day. I love fishing and hunting; so it’s a dream come true that he trusts me with his boats and his business.

What or who is the greatest love of your life?            Most people would think it would be a person here on earth, but not me. The one who’s most important to me is Jesus. He’s helped me through so many ups and downs. My family hasn’t had the most money, but we’ve learned that Jesus can provide just what we need. I’m trying to tell that to Carl’s daughter, Ana. She’s going through a pretty tough spot right now. I really hope everything turns out alright.

What is your favorite journey?            The best thing for me is being out on the ocean. I’d love to make the trip back to the island where Steria is. It was awesome to have all my friends together and Mr. Behr all on a boat that I was driving. They looked to me to get them where they needed to go, and it was perfect.

When and where were you the happiest?            Ah, that’s easy! It was really some of the most miserable of times and the best of times. In April my friend Chace talked me into hunting for thundereggs on the beach. What? Oh, those are Oregon State rock. You crack them open, polish them, and they’re beautiful. Anyway, we went looking for them on the beach and instead discovered an egg. I didn’t want to believe it at first, but deep down I knew it was true. To my shame, I betrayed my friends and Steria to a government agent, but later I made it up by helping get Steria to safety. From June through August those were the best months ever! We were such great friends and had the hours to be together when I wasn’t at The Crab Shack. Man, those were great days!

I hope y'all take advantage of these two fun books at such a great price -- and congratulate Kandi on the release of a new book baby into the world. Yay!! 


Here's a bit more about Kandi Wyatt and where you can find her and her books.

Hey, Kiddo

Hey, KiddoHey, Kiddo by Jarrett J. Krosoczka
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! Not for the younger reader. There is swearing and mature content, but it is important to the story of his life he is sharing so it is in context. Really wonderful overall. I can see why it is winning everything.
