How amazing is this cover?! Welcome to the tour for Where Did the Wind Go by J.M. Failde. Read on for more details!

Where Did the Wind Go?Genre: YA HorrorAges: 14 – 18 With the help of the newly formed Ghoul Gang, self-proclaimed ghost hunter Simon Woo soon learns that his new town of Ravenswood, North Carolina, is riddled with ghouls. But something even more nightmarish is lurking within the woods. And it has its eyes on Simon. After moving with his family, Simon discovers that his new town is better fitting for a survivor in a horror movie rather than a junior in high school. He quickly befriends two other outsiders—Miles, the equally horror-obsessed new kid from New York City, and Riley, the resident goth girl with a secret. As the brutal murders continue, the Ghoul Gang must discover the truth behind the ghoul in the woods in order to save Simon from becoming the entity’s new host.

Cosplay and Confrontation Book Tour

On September 26, 2023September 25, 2023 By Star's Books & TeaIn Promotional BlogsLeave a comment

Cosplay and Confrontation
Dates: September 25 – 29
Author: Sarah Zane
Genre: New Adult, LGBTQ Romance, Contemporary Romance
Representation: sapphic main couple, gay secondary couple, enby best friend
TW: None
Blurb:
Pride and Prejudice meets the legends of King Arthur in this sapphic rivals-to-lovers, sweet romantic comedy packed with plenty of banter and tension.
Obstinate and headstrong cosplayer Elaine Knight prided herself on two things; her quality cosplays and being a good judge of character. Gwendolyn Reid took both of those from her. They used to be best friends, until Gwen broke their best friend’s heart and skipped town. At least with Gwen out of the way, Lanie was a shoo-in to win the upcoming cosplay contest.
Except now Gwen’s back.
Gwendolyn Reid should be thinking about meeting her fans, winning the cosplay contest, and dancing at the ball. Instead, all she can think about is Lanie, their unresolved issues, and her unrequited feelings. Unfortunately, there’s no denying that the only feeling Lanie has for Gwen is hatred.
Lucky for them both, it is a truth universally acknowledged that rivals are bound to fall in love.

Review:

I really enjoyed this book very much. It had a wonderful plot. I wouldn’t say it was unique, but I can say that it had a very unique spin. At least in my opinion. There were tense moments through the book, but there were also lighthearted moments. I think that both are very important in stores like these. Another thing that I loved about the book is that it’s got quite a few pages.

That being said, I can’t say that I was majorly in love with this book. I couldn’t give it a four or five star rating with good conscience, but I feel like three stars would be too low. I feel like there are parts of the book that could have been rewritten. There were also times that the main characters got on my nerves royally. Especially when they got to where they just weren’t listening to anybody at all. Personally, I also think that the book could do with a new cover.

Now that I have the negatives out of the way, I do want to reiterate that I did enjoy the book. I’m actually a good chunk into the second book. I am loving the journey I’m taking in this book. I can’t wait to see where it goes from here. Also, I want to note that this review is my personal opinion. There may be people who fall in love with this book and consider it an all-time personal favorite. Please do not let my review keep you from reading the book.

Rambling Monday: Star’s Books and Tea is Retiring

Topic: Retiring my Blog

I’ve put a lot of thought into this, and I thought I’d go ahead and announce it here. At the end of the year, I will be retiring my blog. Honestly, I prefer posting on social media to making blogs. I also get more interaction with social media as well.

My blog plan ends in March, so I thought that the end of the year would be a good ending point. That and I have some blog tours scheduled for October and November and I intend to keep the commitment I signed up for.

I do not mean to make it seem that I’m not grateful for all of the followers that I have. I love that you all have read my blogs. I’d love for you to follow me on my social media so that we can keep in touch! I just think it’s time for my blog to come to an end. Thank you for all your support.

Sundays in Bed With… A Killer’s Game

On September 24, 2023September 24, 2023 By Star's Books & TeaIn Sundays In Bed WithLeave a comment

If all goes well, this is the last book I need to complete all my Kindle Achievements. I really love the cover. It jumped out at me. I’m not sure what it’s about, but I expect there to be a lot of action and suspense! I don’t know because I choose to go into books blindly when I can.

Blurb for A Killer’s Game:

An FBI agent with a background in cryptography. A brilliant game maker bent on revenge. A deadly battle of wits and wills. An ingenious thriller from the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Cipher.

FBI agent and former military codebreaker Daniela “Dani” Vega witnesses a murder on a Manhattan sidewalk. The victim is chief of staff for a powerful New York senator. The assassin turned informant is Gustavo Toro. His code: hit the target and don’t ask questions. When Dani suspects a complex conspiracy, the only way to take down the mastermind is from the inside, forcing her to partner with Toro. Together they must infiltrate the inner circle at a remote facility.

Except it’s a trap. For all of them.

Locked in a subterranean labyrinth and held captive by an unseen host, Dani, Toro, and others must fight for their lives. Now Dani must stay undercover, unravel a bizarre conspiracy, and survive lethal puzzles. But will Toro be friend or foe? Because in this killer’s game, everything is real: the paranoia, the desperation, and the body count. And only one person can make it out alive.

Books Finished This Week:

I honestly thought that I would have a really bad reading week. I normally do when I’ve come home from an event. Then again, I’ve only gone to one event a year. I also interact with more people at the event I go to every year than I did this signing, but I digress. I also thought that work would kick my butt. I went back in like I never even left.

My Activity This Week:

I’m very happy with this progress! 🙂

I’d love to hear about your week of reading!

I got this book awhile back because I’m in James Patterson’s street team. I applied with hope, but knowing it was a long shot. So I was very shocked when I wound up getting approved! This is my first ark of the team. I’m so excited for it! It will be releasing for this month! So of course it’s on my reading list for the month! I’m really excited!

I’d just enlisted in the United States Army.

The two reasons that I should stay away are the very same reasons why I can’t.

The opinionated, headstrong, gorgeous woman captured my attention when she refused to back down from a challenge. I kissed her on the tarmac and murmured a quick goodbye.

All choices have consequences, it’s how we handle them that morph the challenges we’ll face.

The question is, will she choose to back off of our newly formed relationship or will she rise to the challenge with me?

About the Author:

Alyvia Paige is the author of the Forever & Always collection, standalone stories, and co-author of the Infinite Love series under the pen name C Bradley.

Just a midwestern girl enjoying life with her husband and fur babies, working in corporate America by day and spending free time with her family and friends during off time.

She is a warrior and supporter of Endometriosis and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), and a survivor of suicide, losing her big brother in 2015.

She writes as an escape to the chaos and a hope to everyone that their story matters and they too deserve a happily ever after. She writes because every scar tells a story.
