I have not had as much reading time this week as I wished. That is alright, I was busy making memories with the two oldest of my boys. Though my oldest is almost 13, there are moments when we are all goofy together, and it reminds me that he may be navigating fitting in and other teenage things, but he does still love the small moments at home. He likes to act as if he is “too cool” to do things, picks on his brother, argues about chores, etc. Typically, teenage boys, I suppose, these days. Some days I realize why they say it takes a village. I am so grateful for everyone who helps care for all three of my boys. I would not be able to work or even do half of the things I do if it were not for them. So, take time this weekend and think about what gifts you have been given so far this year.
Moving on…I want to talk about the new FREE book! Free books make everyone happy, right?
Let’s get to today’s FREE book, shall we?
A Shift in Shadows 
Author: Maddox Grey
Published: October 26th 2021
Secrets can only stay hidden in the shadows for so long. Nemain is a feline shapeshifter with dangerous skills and even more dangerous magic. Her entire life she has hidden her magic from the fae, daemons, and every other being that inhabits the human realm and beyond. But now her former lover turned enemy, Sebastian, is hot on her trail after she escaped from him with the help of an old friend. The warlock is relentless in his pursuit…and he knows Nemain’s secret. Seeking refuge in the daemon-run town of Emerald Bay on the Washington coast, Nemain works with her friends to ensure she is finally ready to face Sebastian when he finds her. It’s only a matter of time until he does. But soon she learns it’s not just Sebastian after her, the leaders of the warlocks know about her magic and they now seek her as well. To make matters worse, they’ve enlisted the vampires to help them. With her enemies closing in around her, Nemain must fight to keep herself free and her loved ones safe. All while keeping her magic a secret. Because if the fae and daemons find out about her magic and what she truly is, they won’t want to capture her. Nemain poses too great of a threat to be allowed to live, if her secrets become known….Nemain’s life will be forfeit.
I love a good enemies-to-lover fantasy, so this is my type of book! With an average of 4.0 on Goodreads, I think I will download this and give it a chance. Shapeshifters, Warlocks, etc…I think I will be escaping reality and following Nemain as they navigate, hiding their magic and running from her sexy ex.
