Kidnapped

You sit there in the room. Your knees are against your chest and your forehead rests on the exposed flesh; long tendrils of golden wheat locks fall forward and just barely brush against the carpet flooring. The small bit of light that comes from the candle on the side table catches on your greasy roots. You haven’t taken a shower yet; I haven’t let you because things aren’t ready for your movement around the house. I haven’t finished the downstairs. Of course, I’d cursed myself for this; I’d been too eager to bring you home and to have you with me. That’s OK, though. You’re understanding. You don’t fault me for this mishap.

Deliverance by Nola Prevost

As I set my easel against the wall, my heart somersaults when I feel a gentle tug on my hair. Long blonde locks litter the tower floor, spilling over the window sill. Nothing else to indicate a visitor though. No hooves galloping in the distance, nor any piercing, beastly roars echoing in the night. Only silence couples the crackles of the fire. Nevertheless, the pull was unmistakable.

Jacoby

He didn’t understand what to do. Jacoby was at a loss for words, though his mind was on a never-ending marathon. One sentence racing right past the next.

This isn’t happening. I’m dreaming. Everyone’s lying. This is all a nightmare.

The Red Lolli

It was Harry’s Supermarket
The place we all knew
The place we all went to.

Game On

I dive into the back of the taxi, chest heaving as the scent of fake leather and fast food wraps around my body.

            “Thomas!”

Boss Fight

The chill ran up Zach’s spine before he heard the sickly sweet voice.

“You’re so busted.”

Throwback Thursday: Pushing the Limits Series by Katie McGarry

We’re back with another Throwback Thursday, but this time we’re focusing on the entire series by the author rather than just one book; this is because McGarry’s series is so diverse in each novel, that it would be a shame not to highlight them together. So buckle up and get ready for a ride.

Dracula by Bram Stoker

Dracula has been a classic that’s long been on my TBR pile. I never much got around to it, though, as I the pile is continuously growing. Thanks to my summer Topics in Literature course, I’ve finally been able to sit down and enjoy the novel, and it brings me great excitement to share my review with all of you.

Book Review: Alex & Eliza by Melissa De La Cruz

We’re back for another book review on Saturday; the novel for today is one that’s been sitting on my kindle bookshelf for a while. Now that we’re in quarantine, I figured what better time to start the first one in the trilogy? So, without further delay, let’s dive into Melissa de la Cruz’s amazing historical fiction novel, Alex & Eliza.

Throwback Thursday: Shadow Falls by C. C. Hunter

Tell me a series that has better humor and witty dialogue (seriously, please tell me, I’m always on the lookout). I’ll wait, but while I’m waiting, I’ll also highlight these amazing aspects in the Shadow Falls series. So let’s leap frog into it, shall we? (For those who get the reference kudos to you).
