I don't think the first line of a book has to be the absolute best. Truthfully, how many people are reading ONLY the first line and then giving up on a book? I do think a great first line can hook a reader who might've been on the fence though. And regardless, I just thought it'd be a fun idea to look at the opening lines of some different books... and have a fight to the death! Just kidding...

Ummm... Happy June? I don't know, I never know how to start these posts! Anyway, it's not the intro that counts, it's the books, right? And I do have some of those! If you missed the first May/June 2019 releases post, you can find that here, or just keep on scrolling for the rest that I've...
So BEA just passed (or maybe is still happening?) and every other blogger will probably be sharing massive book hauls today. Not me. Instead, I just have LOTS OF MERFOLK! (This is going to be a very image-filled post 😬) #Mermay has ended, but I ended up doing six pieces, which is five more than I thought I'd do, and also the most art I've done in a month probably ever. Last month I shared...
Due to the events of the last book, Cal is headed to Omsk to meet with Cooper, but a snowstorm causes him to get stuck in Moscow where he finds himself in the middle of yet another supernatural mess. He teams up with Lucian and Foley to take down a new group of baddies, hopefully before they can wreak havoc on the...
Let's see, real life updates... Nobody ask me about my dental situation. It's still not any better, and I don't want to talk about it. I also managed to bend back like a third of my big toe nail when I hit it with my other heel, so that was fun. I don't know how I even do these things. But my parents' shower still has a chunk of tile missing from where I once slipped and hit my heel against it...
Vince is done waiting around for the fae god Abarta to make his next move and wreak more havoc on what little is left of the post-apoc world. Abarta is planning his next move, vampires have invaded the city, and Vince is determined to put the puzzle pieces together and put his own plans into action before it's too...
I do a second post for each set of months when I do these upcoming releases posts because there are always books I miss in the first one. Surprisingly, this time there are only three! Are there just not as many books published in January and February? Maybe it's just coincidence that there aren't that many books I'm interested in? Since three books made for a very short post, so I decided to...
As I was gathering covers for my annual best covers post, I came to the conclusion that I had too many. Competition was fierce this year, and I had to draw the line somewhere when it came to how many covers to include. But there were just so many great ones! So I decided to do a separate post for the runners up, the covers that didn't quite make it into the top 20 but were close and still deserve...
I wanna start by letting my fellow bloggers know that I've not been avoiding you all! I've just not been doing a good job of bloghopping lately because I'm still having dental problems (here's the latest update about that---basically I've already been to 9 appointments and still have at least 10 or 11 more at the very minimum, including at least one minor surgery, but it'll probably turn out to...
When Cal's team gets put on a murder investigation, Cal is happy to finally be working on a case that doesn't involve the safety of the entire city being at stake, but the case quickly goes south when they discover the culprit is a magic practitioner serial killer and an Eververse monster. More secrets are revealed as the murderer attempts to close in on his next victim, and Cal will have tough...
