Mercy by Ian Haramaki (@cometkins) is coming November 19th!

I've been given the opportunity to review this bad boy and it's SO GOOD!! I cannot wait to share my thoughts with you guys. The art is by the talented Soren Häxen. Just LOOK AT IT. Keep reading for blurb and links.

Blurb:

A PRIEST AND HIS ANGEL...

Father Ilya Pavlovich Sokolovis a lonely priest and pariah of his small town. Tasked with killing an injured monster in the woods, Ilya is certain of his death. Instead, he heals the monster’s injury and lifts its curse, revealing a handsome, memory-less man.

Cocksure Danya is a man lost in an unfamiliar world. He struggles to recall his past life, flashes returning as he and Ilya grow closer. Soon, his appearance begins to change once more, but not into a beast — instead, Danya grows into something just like the Sun that Ilya has worshiped all his life.

With complicated pasts between them, the two must work together to deal with the corruption of Ilya's own church, as well as their blooming feelings for one another.

Will be on KU and sold through most major retailers. Preorder now! http://books2read.com/MercyNovel

✨REVIEW✨

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As a fantasy reader one of the main things that can make or break a book is the world building and this book did not disappoint. Yalma is teaming with life and the differences between how the mortals perceive the Gods and how they perceive themselves is palpable. I enjoyed seeing both sides with the mortals believing that all the other Gods are dead and yet we as a reader see the truth from the Gods perspectives.

One of the things done really well in this book is the way in which the Gods feel so removed emotionally and morally from the lives of mortals and yet as they begin to face the reality of their own mortality, and begin to loose their “godliness” they begin to show more mortal tendencies and become a little more human chapter by chapter. The progress is slow for Thrughfur because of his nature but by the end of the book I am fully routing for him.

All of the characters have a duality to them, neither truly good or truly evil. Even the main antagonist of the book has moments that made me feel so sorry for her, and slightly understand where she is coming from.

There are stories within this story that truly show the thought and imagination that has gone into the creation of ‘When all the gods are dead’.

This is the first book in a series and I’m really looking forward to being able to one day read the sequel and find out what happens to Thrughfur and Dewne.

I recommend this book if you enjoy epic high fantasy, it is less than 400 pages and a very enjoyable read. I think if you enjoy books like ‘The Witcher’ and Godkiller then this book is for you.

There is so much more I wish I could say but honestly I don’t want to give spoilers.

We're getting ready for the release of All the Sacrifice of Shadows by Hillary Raymer! The exciting next installment in the Starstorm series comes out on November 13th, but you can pre-order now!

All the Sacrifice of Shadows (Starstorm Series Book 2)

Expected Publication Date: November 13, 2024

Genre: Romantic Fantasy/ Dragons

Arranged Marriage

Grumpy x Sunshine

Shadow Daddy

Morally Grey

Very Spicy

Dragons

His Dragon Likes Her Better

She was a storm of violent sunbeams and catastrophic rainbows.

Marrying for love was never in the stars for Creslyn, as evidenced by her future husband. Drake is calculating, cruel, and wields a blade of death. By all rights, he should be terrifying. But something about him draws her in, his shadows call to the darkness she keeps locked away inside of her. She isn’t foolish enough to expect love from a marriage contract, but when they bind their vows in blood, Creslyn does the unthinkable—she claims Drake as her mate.

He was a monster of shadow and night, of death and destruction.

Cursed since his first breath, Drake has only known power and a realm of shadows. But now he’s bound to a faerie whose heart bleeds for him, and his obsession with her only grows with each passing day. Unfortunately, his world of violence puts her life at stake. Not only is he still the Shadowblade Assassin, but unrest is brewing in Aeramere, and an attack on House Celestine confirms an ill-fated prophecy. War is coming.

As Creslyn longs to find a way to break Drake’s curse and struggles to embrace her own darkness, Drake will be faced with a terrible choice—one that will only end in sacrifice.

Secrets will be unearthed and their bond will be put to the test, because love might be enough for a hero, but it will never save a villain.

Mythological creatures live among us in secret–even to each other–fearful of what humans would do to them if discovered.

Beau is a genius Gnome with ambition; his inventions could change the world, if only his common sense could keep up. Meep is a Lynx, with inhuman gymnastics skills and a desire to do something more meaningful with her life than serve coffee.

With the appearance of one bizarre stranger in their mundane little town in the Pacific Northwest, the destinies of Beau and Meep collide in the most unexpected ways. They must question everything they think they know and team up with witches, goblins, and fae—who are also hiding in secret—to save the world as they know it. The problem is, the further they wander into the dangers that lurk in the shadows, the more they realize a startling truth. Is anyone what they seem to be?

War is a dangerous game.

Ophelia Dannan’s magic has reawakened, but at dire costs. Though she’s inherited the powers of a goddess, she’s haunted by the events in Wythe and the desperate choices she made to save the lives of her people.

As war breaks out in Magus, she and Falcon lick their wounds in the Underbelly, waiting for word on Hart and Rune. There, Ophelia plots to end the centuries-old battle for the throne by unearthing and destroying three elusive primordial relics—but she isn’t the only one who seeks them. If the Gray King retrieves the instruments first, the magic-born will rot in endless servitude, and if the relics fall into the Darkwielder’s hands, his vengeance may obliterate every mortal.

To save Magus from ruin, Ophelia finds herself making a bargain with a dangerous enemy—one that plunges her into a harrowing game of trust, politics, and dark secrets. To win, she’ll have to master her horrifying magic, mend her shattered soul, and decide how far she’ll go to shape her fate—or she and her kingdom will be destined for destruction.

In a war between gods and monarchs, one will rise.

For fans of thrilling, cunning fantasy like Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows, SMJ's A Court of Mist and Fury, Game of Thrones, and VE Schwab's A Darker Shade of Magic

In one of the darkest points in my adult life, I was determined to finally tell this story. To bring to life something fantastical, yet tangible at the same time. Despite everything that happens, the people and the real issues they face are very much rooted in reality. This line became the basis of everything in my fantasy series: Everything you can imagine is real. Pablo Picasso had it right and I’m honored by every eye that travels across my words.
