Cutthroat Cheerleader

About Cutthroat Cheerleader:

In the sleepy town of Townsend, Washington, there was an act so gruesome that no one would ever be the same. What heinous crime do I speak of? Skylar Torres thinking she could pull off a crop top with that pudgy body of hers. Oh, did you think I was going to say my murder. Well, I thought it was more sensational than anything else, but the real scandal was who killed me and why.

You should already know my name since it was on everyone’s lips once they found me with my throat ripped out. People thought they should have only feared me, but the Liberty Lion’s cheer squad knew one thing, hunt or be hunted.

No one’s hands were truly clean from all the dirt and blood on them. Be safe, watch your back and always remember, Happy Hunting.

Love
Madison Taylor

Damnable Fun by Victoria Knight and Hyperion Knight

Damnable Fun by Victoria Knight and Hyperion Knight

A few years after high school, Christina can’t take the dull, workaday world anymore, so she gets the old gang together to pull off a small-town bank heist. Seeking the criminal mastermind status she craves, she recruits her concert pianist brother Van, car-thief friend Walter, and hot ex-boyfriend Sonny. What’s supposed to be an easy little inside job turns into a rollicking adventure as these amateur criminals attempt to go pro. In the midst of planning a major federal crime in a weekend, will the thrill of being bad reignite the romantic-crime-duo chemistry between Christina and Sonny? Will sophisticated pianist Van get caught red-handed and lose the prestigious career for which he sacrificed his youth? Will Walter’s wacky schizophrenic mom or Sonny’s nosy teen-runaway cousin be the downfall of the whole gang? Damnable Fun is more than a page-turner heist novel, it’s darn fun fiction loosely based upon the true story of the largest unsolved bank burglary in Northern California.

Rule 9 Academy Box Set

About Rule 9 Academy Box Set:

Fire Born Dragon
I ran up Shephard’s Mountain to escape the Monsters that were chasing me…

…and the Demons that were haunting my memories.

Instead, I fell into a world where Magic is the New Black and the Challenges I face have nothing to do with curling irons and study groups.

Drae Hallow is the home of Rule 9 Academy where nobody is normal and we’re all a little bit of strange.

They’ve invited me to attend their School for Magicals. Apparently, there’s something inside of me and it wants to come out to play. But I need to learn to control it before it controls me.

I’m game…

After all, I might be my Momma’s trouble; but I’ve always been my Daddy’s stubborn.

I’ll need every bit of it too, because something else roams the woods after dark, and it doesn’t have anything to do with Shifting 101.

Together, with the help of others just like me, we’ll have to uncover the lies before it’s too late. The Magical world depends on us to find out the truth…or its Lights Out, Dark Ages and Witch Hunts all over again.

If I’m not careful, my first semester might just be my last.

Voiceless: A Mermaid’s Tale by Anna Finch

About Voiceless: A Mermaid’s Tale by Anna Finch:

Freedom is a choice. Is she brave enough to take it or will she remain voiceless?

Moriah is a beautiful mermaid princess that lives in Zoara-Bela under her grandfather, King Abaddon’s cruel reign. On her 16th birthday, she must undergo her rite of passage in which a young mermaid must transform into a human, and live among them for a day without drawing suspicion from the world above.

It’s not until she meets Michael, a young, handsome man, that she witnesses the stark contrast between the openness and kindness of the human world and the bitter reality of her draconian society.
She returns to the city beneath the waves with a longing for the freedom of the shore in her heart. But getting her freedom isn’t as simple as using magic to get a pair of legs.

Moriah must risk her life to free her kingdom and uncover the secrets of her past and family. If she wants her freedom and the chance to love freely, she must stand up to the wicked king who will stop at nothing to crush any voice of dissent.

Time is running out and the fate of an entire kingdom rests on her shoulders.

Review Excerpts:
“For anyone who is tired of watching beloved fairy tales that have fallen prey to Disneyfication, Voiceless is a bold and a much-welcome read.” – Vincent Dublado, Readers’ Favorite.

“Voiceless” is a reimagining of “The Little Mermaid”, with a modern and urban vibe that takes the story in a fresh and new direction. … This is an excellent re-invention of the fairytale and one that I enjoyed reading. I highly recommend this for your TBR list!” – Rose Brown, Goodreads.
