In episode 85, I'm giving a review of Analeigh Sbrana's, “Lore of the Wilds,” a romantasy novel set in a world where generations ago, Lore Alemeyu's ancestors fell into a magical world ruled by fae. Now, Lore's village is held prisoner by the reigning kingdom, subject to the cruelty of the sentries and whims of the royals. I have my qualms with the book, but it was a great debut. From the brooding dark fae love interest, to a mysterious magical book, and the betrayal in the end, and I cannot wait to see what Lore gets up to in the sequel, “Lore of the Tides.”As with all of my book reviews, there are spoilers!If you have an author, book, or topic you want to hear about on the podcast, then don't hesitate to slide into my DMs on Instagram or shoot me an email!Where else to find me:IG: @inbedwithbookspodYT: https://www.youtube.com/@InBedWithBooksPodEM: inbedwithbookspodcast@gmail.com

Subscriber-only episodeSend us a textEp 584: Wingless Hunger, Chapter 1, Open Door Spicy Romantasy, Naked in the Forest. Gabreilla was naked in the forest when she smelled a man nearby. She used all her sex appeal and her beautiful siren singing voice to draw him in...as a siren-fairy-human, she had special abilities. But what she needed most was his cock.Book Blurb: Gabriella can smell men. Which is a good thing since she desperately needs men. It's not every fairy who also has siren in her, which allows her to use her irresistible singing voice to draw them nearer. Since she can't leave her invisible cage, this is a very useful talent, especially when it comes to drawing men to her area of the forest. Most men will do, however, they only stay for little while.When she senses Leif hiking down the path, she experiences the usual growth in her size, which is imperative because if he can't see her, none of the good stuff will happen. He's different than the other men were, he might just be the solution she seeks. But then there's also the other paralyzing problem of trying to attain her freedom. All she desires is a happier, less lonely life once again, human sized.Tropes:*Open Door, HEA Spicy Romantasy.*Lust First.*Forced proximity.*Shrinking woman, growing woman.*She needs a hero.*He's a cinnamon roll.*The miracle they seek, they don't know all the rules.Wingless Hunger is a novella, book 1 of 4 in the Arching Hunger series.Subscription Process:Join now for access to all the padlocked episodes!

Episode 460 - Gillian Eliza West - Ruin - The Infernis Duology, A fantasy romance novelAbout the authorGillian Eliza West, debut author of Ruin: The Infernis Duology, lives in Austin, Texas. With a passion for mythology that has taken her around the world (despite her fear of flying), she strives to infuse her own stories with a similar kind of wonder and magic. Her first foray into writing for an audience came through fan fiction, allowing her to hone her skills as a storyteller. When she isn't working on her debut duology, you can find Gillian snuggled up with her dog, Walter, and a book or her favorite fanfic. Book: Ruin: The Infernis Duology Book One“Ruin is a captivating romantasy that masterfully blends steamy tension with breathtaking world-building. . .a must-read that will leave you bewitched and eager to read the next book.” — Amanda Richardson, USA Today Bestselling AuthorOralia Solis hasn't felt the touch of another in 245 years. Not without them crumbling to ash at her feet. Cursed by the bite of a daemoni, she has been sequestered away for the greater good of Aethera by her adopted father, King Typhon.King Renwick rules the rival kingdom of Infernis, the land of the dead. When Oralia flees the palace of Aethera after her power is let loose with deadly results, he recognizes her potential as a weapon and aids her escape.Oralia finds herself the prisoner of the man she has been taught to fear most, and Renwick is surprised to find there is more to this princess than her untamed powers. Despite the gulf of secrets and magic between them, Renwick can't deny the pull he feels towards her, and Oralia struggles to resist the one person who cannot only survive her touch, but craves it.As Oralia uncovers the truth of her parentage and masters her magic, she will discover that the power to raze or save either Aethera or Infernis lies in her hands. War between the two kingdoms looms and she must decide who she can trust and which she wants more: power or love.Ruin is a true slow burn romance, with enemies to lovers, nods to multiple mythological stories reimagined into new lore, LGBTQIA+ representation (supporting characters)https://a.co/d/dVUSvUASupport the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Have you ever read a book and the world falls away? Pay attention to those moments. Because as writers, we can learn a lot from the books that inspire us. We should study what works and why. We can also explore what didn't work for us and learn how that knowledge can also shape us into the writers we want to be. In today's episode, host Erin P.T. Canning discusses The Witch Collector, a fantasy romance novel by Charissa Weaks. Learn what made this book unique with its use of magic and sign language, what the author used as her hook, and Erin's overall impression of the story. You'll also gain tips for world building, introducing several characters, and avoiding the all-too-easy info dump. We'll also analyze the length of time before we reach the inciting incident (call to action). Learn more about Charissa's book: The Witch Collector: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09H6894GR Connect with Parents Who Write: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/parentswhowrite Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/parentswhowrite Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/parentswhowrite  Send us a textFeeling stuck in your author journey?

Send us a Text Message.We pick up in Crown of Midnight chapter nine with Celaena visiting Kaltain (the Suriel??) in the dungeons. Archer can either hang up his g-string for good or be strangled by it, and, after choosing the second option, he promises to pass along intel about the rebel group working to put Aelin Galathynius (!!) on the throne. After finding a book full of wyrdmarks (and a riddle) at the home of one of those rebels, Celaena is cut with a poisonous dagger and runs to the one person she knows will keep her safe: Chaol. Plus, we talk potential Maasverse connections, like the tapestry Celaena finds in the library and the Void from the ACOTAR Christmas special.This week's book rec is A Sea of Song and Sirens: The Naiads of Juile by Whit Stanfield.Summon us @DTFaePodcast We like our coffee icy and our books spicy!
