It’s been a couple of years since we got a new Granny Apples story, so it is wonderful to get to visit some of the characters again with this short story. The story is a bit simple, even for a short story, but it serves as a great excuse to spend time with these characters again. While we don’t see everyone in Emma’s orbit, I was glad to get the update on the characters who are here. All of them, living and dead, are wonderful. We even get a glimpse of what might be coming for another character this author writes about. This is a story for fans, and they will be happy. If you haven’t met the characters, don’t jump in here, but do start this fun paranormal series.

Revenge ( Out for Blood book 1)
By CY Jones
My name is Shadow.
Assassin, taker of lives
I’m what fears are based on, the one who exists in the shadows, only seen when you look death in the eye, and beg for its forgiveness.
I am the nightmare whose name you whisper in the dark of night.
Your jailer, judge, and executioner all rolled in one.
In my world, my brother and I are ghosts, and we don’t give out second chances.
I thought I knew everything about the world I was born into, but I was wrong.
It took one failed mission to turn my whole world upside down, and I discovered everything I thought I knew was all a lie.
Revenge is still my mission, but now the targets have changed.
I've read a few of this authors work lately and she’s definitely grown on me! The story is intriguing and I’m enjoying her way of writing. There are a few trigger points in this book for some but I feel they have been dealt with and wrote in the right way. I love her men and how they are all different and I’m loving the protectors in he two dads and brother! I really hope she gets the revenge owed to her I’m certainly looking to that book!
Recommend!

I'm not going to lie, I found this pretty confusing. It was a bit all over the place - but I've heard it gets better. It starts at the military academy with Teito Klein and Mikage, who are best friends. But then Teito's repressed memories are jogged when he overhears a secret conversation, forcing him to flee the district. From there, he finds himself in a strange church. The bishops there begin to help him understand the war between two empires, the legend of seven ghosts, and the battle between good and evil.
The art in this is fantastic! Sometimes it seems a little busy and hard to follow, but maybe that's just because I'm new to it.
The dialogue is great - the jokes and everything really make this a good novel. And the premise is good, too - I intend to read on and hopefully make sense of it all!
I did like it, but I also got lost a fair bit. It was a lot better toward to end, with Mikage's surprise appearance and all, but I think I can only give this 3 stars.

No ones home
By D M Pulley
Margot and Myron Spielman move to a new town, looking for a fresh start and an escape from the long shadow of their past. But soon after they buy Rawlingswood, a foreclosed mansion rumored to be haunted, they realize they’re in for more of the same…or worse.
After a renovation fraught with injuries and setbacks, the Spielmans move in to the century-old house, and their problems quickly escalate. The home’s beautiful facade begins to crumble around them when their teenage son uncovers disturbing details of Rawlingswood’s history—a history of murder, betrayal, and financial ruin. The Spielmans’ own shameful secrets and lies become harder to hide as someone or something inside the house watches their every move.
As tensions build between the family members, the home’s dark history threatens to repeat itself. Margot and Myron must confront their own ghosts and Rawlingswood’s buried past before the house becomes their undoing.
Such a good book!! Full of mystery and suggestions of paranormal activity all written around historical events, places and people. I read mainly at night and in the dark so I got a few chills reading this. Such a well balanced and well executed book! You got drawn into all these characters lives!
