Podcast appearances and mentions of Laura E Weymouth

This week, we're talking with author Laura E. Weymouth about her new YA novel, A Consuming Fire. https://lauraeweymouth.com/  Laura Weymouth is a Canadian living in America, and the sixth consecutive generation of her family to immigrate from one country to another. Born and raised in the Niagara region of Ontario, she now lives at the edge of the woods in western New York, along with her husband, two wild-hearted daughters, and an ever-expanding menagerie of animal friends. More about her latest, A Consuming Fire:  Uprooted meets The Grace Year in this dark young adult fantasy of love and vengeance following a girl who vows to kill a god after her sister is unjustly slain by his hand. Weatherell girls aren't supposed to die. Once every eighteen years, the isolated forest village of Weatherell is asked to send one girl to the god of the mountain to give a sacrifice before returning home. Twins Anya and Ilva Astraea are raised with this destiny in mind, and when their time comes, spirited Ilva volunteers to go. Her devoted sister Anya is left at home to pray for Ilva's safe return. But Anya's prayers are denied. With her sister dead, Anya volunteers to make a journey of her own to visit the god of the mountain. But unlike her sister, sacrifice is the furthest thing from Anya's mind. Anya has no intention of giving anything more to the god, or of letting any other girl do so ever again. Anya Astraea has not set out to placate a god. She's set out to kill one.

Within These Wicked Walls By Lauren Blackwood | Book Review Podcast Website: https://gobookmart.com Buy Now: https://amzn.to/3nSH1s3 "Blackwood's eerie, evocative debut fully embraces its gothic lineage and brings a welcome contemporary feel. The book is sure to lure readers in with the promise of hair-raising chills and passionate romance." - THE BULLETIN OF THE CENTER FOR CHILDREN'S BOOKS "Mesmerizing." - BUZZFEED, "18 Horror Novels About Ghosts You Won't Put Down" "If you're a fan of intricate lore-filled magic systems, Blackwood has you covered. She crafts a truly terrifying take on Brontë while bringing a unique voice all her own to the page-turning proceedings." - NERDIST "Within These Wicked Walls is an indulgently Gothic fairy tale, comparable in mastery with Mexican Gothic and Jane Eyre. An intricate magic system, a grimly humorous Black heroine, AND a heart-thumping romance? This book leaves nothing wanting." - Jordan Ifueko, New York Times bestselling author of Raybearer "Within These Wicked Walls adds a haunting new landscape and a chilling curse to Jane Eyre's magnetic romance and searing chemistry. A Gothic retelling, and a true original." - Anna Bright, author of The Beholder "Fierce, eerie and heartfelt by turns, Within These Wicked Walls is a romantic and spine-chilling reimagining of a classic. I loved every creepy, swoon-worthy moment of it." - Laura E. Weymouth, author of The Light Between Worlds "Lauren Blackwood's Within These Wicked Walls is the Jane Eyre retelling I didn't know I needed, and everything I needed it to be. Atmospheric and moody, with sharp subtle humor and romance, Andromeda's story is engrossing and unputdownable. This Jane Eyre isn't your average classroom read; it is so much more than that." - Rachel Simon, Newton Free Library --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support
