In the thrilling conclusion of the duology set in the world of the New York Times bestselling Serpent & Dove series by Shelby Mahurin, a vampire and the woman who tried to kill him prove that true love can conquer anything, even Death. Célie's life is over. She took her final breath trying to save the people she loves—including the powerful and enigmatic vampire king, Michal, who refused to let her go. When Célie wakes, she cannot walk in the sun; she can hear her friends' heartbeats and she craves their blood. Michal has cursed her to the eternal existence of a vampire.But Célie isn't the only dead roaming the earth. Her sister, Filippa, has returned as a shadow of her former self, and other revenants are rising from their graves intent on revenge. The fragile balance between life and death has broken, awakening an even darker force—and he is coming for Célie, ready to claim her as his Bride. With the fate of their world at stake, Célie and Michal must set aside their searing attraction to mend the veil and right the balance, once and for all.

The Scarlet Veil is the first book in the new The Scarlet Veil duology. Célie Tremblay has always been a good girl: kind and beautiful, a daughter of whom every parent would be proud. She surprises the entire kingdom when she defies tradition to become the first huntswoman—including her new captain and fiancé, Jean Luc, who rules the huntsmen with an iron fist. He isn't the only one concerned for Célie's safety, however. Though her friends try to protect her from the horrors of her past, mysterious whispers still haunt her, and a new evil is rising in Belterra—leaving bodies in its wake, each one drained of blood.Determined to prove herself in her new role, Célie tracks the killer to the lair of Les Éternels - ancient creatures only spoken about in nursery rhymes - and catches the attention of their king, a monster who hides his plans for her behind beautiful words and sharp smiles. Now Célie has new reason to fear the dark because the closer he gets, the more tempted she feels to give in to his dark hunger - and her own.Shelby Mahurin is the New York Times bestselling author of the Serpent & Dove trilogy. She grew up on a small farm in rural Indiana, where sticks became wands and cows became dragons. Her rampant imagination didn't fade with age, so she continues to play make-believe every day - with words now instead of cows. When not writing, Shelby watches The Office and reads voraciously. She still lives near that childhood farm with her very tall husband and semiferal children. Visit her online at www.shelbymahurin.com.
The weather is cooler. Halloween is near and it's a great time to curl up by the fire with a good book. We start the show this week with a brief conversation with New York Times best-selling author Shelby Mahurin. Her latest book is The Scarlet Veil. It's a dark and thrilling vampire romance set in the world of Mahurin's Serpent & Dove series of tales. Next we talk with Dr. Tabia Akintobi, Professor and Chair of Community Health and Preventive Medicine at Morehouse School of Medicine. MSM has partnered with the makers of Advil for the "Advil Pain Equity Project." It is a multi year commitment to help address pain inequity and racial bias in the diagnosis and treatment of pain. The initial campaign, "Believe My Pain" tells the stories of people who've experienced pain inequity. A survey of 2000 Americans found that 93-percent of Black individuals report pain impacting their day-to-day life. 83-percent report a negative experience when seeking help managing their pain, and three of four say they believe there is bias in how pain is diagnosed and treated. This project will also lead to a course at MSM to educate medical students on pain equity.

This week we discuss the books, House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland & Serpent and Dove by Shelby Mahurin. Will either of these books be added to the library, or make a splash in the ocean? - - - - - - - - -Our Book Blurbs This Week: House of HollowIris Hollow and her two older sisters are unquestionably strange. Ever since they disappeared on a suburban street in Scotland as children only to return a month a later with no memory of what happened to them, odd, eerie occurrences seem to follow in their wake. And they're changing. First, their dark hair turned white. Then, their blue eyes slowly turned black. They have insatiable appetites yet never gain weight. People find them disturbingly intoxicating, unbearably beautiful, and inexplicably dangerous. But now, ten years later, seventeen-year-old Iris Hollow is doing all she can to fit in and graduate high school on time--something her two famously glamourous globe-trotting older sisters, Grey and Vivi, never managed to do. But when Grey goes missing without a trace, leaving behind bizarre clues as to what might have happened, Iris and Vivi are left to trace her last few days. They aren't the only ones looking for her though and the world that returned them seemingly unharmed ten years ago might just be calling them home.+ + Serpent and DoveTwo years ago, Louise le Blanc fled her coven and took shelter in the city of Cesarine, forsaking all magic and living off whatever she could steal. There, witches like Lou are hunted. They are feared. And they are burned. As a huntsman of the Church, Reid Diggory has lived his life by one principle: Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. But when Lou pulls a wicked stunt, the two are forced into an impossible situation—marriage. Lou, unable to ignore her growing feelings, yet powerless to change what she is, must make a choice. And love makes fools of us all.- - - - - - - - -Have you read either of these books?

On this episode of The Reading Riot come hang out with my best friend Kaylei! Together we talk about challenges we've faced while writing our first novels. Then stick around for our discussion about Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin. Y'all it's gonna be good... --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
On today's episode we spoke with novelist Shelby Mahurin about her darkly enchanting debut Serpent and Dove. It's a story of deception, betrayal, love and magic set in a world divided between an authoritarian religious government and a mysterious society of powerful witches. Louise le Blanc is a witch hiding among townsfolk who would consider her a monster, and she finds herself in an uncomfortable alliance with righteous witch-hunter Reid Diggory. Mahurin sets their story in an atmospheric world drawn uniquely from French culture and folklore. A short while before Serpent and Dove hit bookshelves, Shelby Mahurin dropped in to out studios to talk about her inspirations and plans for the world of Serpent and Dove, which has also been chosen as a Barnes & Noble YA Book club selection.
