David Anderson is a mild-mannered English professor until he walks into the classroom one day and discovers the corpse of one of his colleagues. She has been murdered. With all eyes on him, another woman, this time a former student of his, is also found murdered. In both cases, the killer has done the same thing: taken photos of the body and posted them anonymously online. Because of this, the media has dubbed him the Voyeur Killer. When it happens a third time, Detective Grimm, the cold and ruthless woman leading the investigation, narrows her sights on the English professor and begins to close in. Yet David, who has exhausted himself convincing others that he isn’t guilty, begins to question his own sanity. Is he the one committing these murders? Has he been doing it without his own knowledge? Desperate to clear his own name and discover what is happening, he begins to unravel the secrets of a twisted and depraved mind. The only question: is it his own?

Praise for DOPPELGANGER:

“If you love James Patterson, you will love this!!I am an avid mystery reader. This was definitely a page turner. I judge a mystery on how quickly I can figure out “who dunnit”. I didn’t see the ending coming. If you love James Patterson, it is reminiscent of his style yet the author definitely has carved out his own niche. Great Read!!” Amazon Review

“This story is very compelling and David is a character that cared about, could relate to in his ordinary-ness. I like to read books like this that keep me glued to the page, wanting the best for the character but having this niggling worry he’s not all he seems to be. The evil narrator filled me with such dread, pure evil with hope of redemption, a human horror story.” Amazon Review

“Wow. Honestly, this isn’t really my genre. It is just not the type of book that I generally seek out. But I started reading it, and once I did, I could not put it down.” Amazon Review

Excerpt:

I have been two people. 

And so when the woman descends the stairs, I will put on my face. The face she likes. The face she knows. But the world will soon see that she is the first bit of fuse that I will light. The first domino that I will knock over.

Because I’ve learned to master this art. I’ve done it for years, so much so that I wonder if the other half of me even knows about this. I have fooled even myself, because when I slip out of this self—like a snake shedding dry scales—I will refuse to admit this to myself. 

She sees me and walks toward me.

I see that sexy smile, so I smile back.

She shakes my hand, a courteous hello, and her fingers are strangely cold.

ONCE I WAS ENGAGED TICKETS ON SALE NOW

-Highly Anticipated Sequel to ONCE I WAS A BEEHIVE opens exclusively in theatres on July 21-

SALT LAKE CITY – Advance tickets are now on sale for ONCE I WAS ENGAGED – the eagerly awaited sequel to the award-winning, smash hit ONCE I WAS A BEEHIVE – the film opens exclusively in Utah theatres on Friday, July 21 before expanding to Arizona, Idaho, and Nevada on August 6 and nationally on August 13. Written and directed by Maclain Nelson, ONCE I WAS ENGAGED brings back all the original film’s favorite cast of characters, including Bree (Clare Niederpruem), Holly (Hailey Smith), Lane (Paris Warner), and of course, Carrie Carrington (Lisa Valentine Clark). And this film introduces a couple key new characters, including Curt Carrington; Carrie’s husband and Bree’s father, played by High School Musical’s Bart Johnson; and Thys Chesterfield, played by Studio C’s Tanner Gillman. 

“Fans have been screaming for a sequel ever since we released the first film,” exclaimed Nelson. “And we are beyond excited for everyone to get back to the movie theatre and experience the next chapter in the lives of their favorite campers.” 

The story takes place about two years after ONCE I WAS A BEEHIVE. The young women and their leaders have grown up (some more than others), and Bree’s surprise engagement and the whirlwind of wedding planning brings them all back together – with hilarious and touching results. 

“This movie is the warmest and funniest thing you’ll see this year,” quipped Lisa Valentine Clark. “Not to mention audiences get to see some men in the mix this time. We added the one-and-only Bart Johnson and the charming and hilarious Tanner Gillman. I’m not going to say they steal the show, but I’m not going to not say that either. You’ll just have to come see for yourself.” 

Even though the story is a sequel to the first film, audiences will also get to see the original girls as their much younger selves for the first time. “I won’t give away too much, but old and new fans alike get to learn so much more history of the girls,” explained Clare Niederpruem, who plays Bree. “Audiences will absolutely adore them, and who knows, maybe there’s a prequel story to BEEHIVE that needs to be told.” 

In the years since ONCE I WAS A BEEHIVE was released, many cast members have been busy in the entertainment industry, especially Clare Niederpruem. ENGAGED signals her first return to being in front of the camera in quite a few years. “We’re so excited to celebrate at the premiere and mingle with the fans. We want this to be the party of the summer,” said Niederpruem who has become a sought-after director for feature films, TV movies and TV series, including an adaptation of LITTLE WOMEN and multiple TV movies for the Hallmark Channel.

Fire and Ice is tpday’s spot on the INSTRUCTIONS FOR DANCING by Nicola Yoon Blog Tour hosted by Rockstar Book Tours.

 

About the Book:

Title: INSTRUCTIONS FOR DANCING

Author: Nicola Yoon

Pub. Date: June 1, 2021

Publisher: Delacorte Press

Formats: Hardcover, eBook, audiobook

Pages: 304

Find it: Goodreads, Amazon, Kindle, Audible, B&N Exclusive Signed Edition, iBooks, Kobo, TBD, Bookshop.org

#1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything, Everything and The Sun is Also a Star Nicola Yoon is back with her eagerly anticipated third novel. With all the heart and hope of her last two books, this is an utterly unique romance.

Evie Thomas doesn’t believe in love anymore. Especially after the strangest thing occurs one otherwise ordinary afternoon: She witnesses a couple kiss and is overcome with a vision of how their romance began . . . and how it will end. After all, even the greatest love stories end with a broken heart, eventually.

As Evie tries to understand why this is happening, she finds herself at La Brea Dance studio, learning to waltz, fox-trot, and tango with a boy named X. X is everything that Evie is not: adventurous, passionate, daring. His philosophy is to say yes to everything–including entering a ballroom dance competition with a girl he’s only just met.

Falling for X is definitely not what Evie had in mind. If her visions of heartbreak have taught her anything, it’s that no one escapes love unscathed. But as she and X dance around and toward each other, Evie is forced to question all she thought she knew about life and love. In the end, is love worth the risk?

 

BOOK TRAILER:

Praise for INSTRUCTIONS FOR DANCING: 

A Junior Library Guild selection 

★ “An endearing, affecting exploration of the journey of love. Everything Yoon touches turns to gold and this cinematic supernatural romance will be no exception.”—Booklist, starred review

★ “A remarkable, irresistible love story that will linger long after readers turn the final page.”—Kirkus, starred review

★ “Yoon delivers a story of love’s unpredictability and the importance of perspective that unfolds with ease and heart.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

★ “A sweet, genuine love story sure to pull on the heartstrings.”—School Library Journal, starred review

★ “Yoon delivers this captivating story of first love with beautiful prose, clever dialogue that swings between laugh-out-loud funny and wildly insightful, clear respect for the complexity and nuance of her teen characters’ perspectives and emotions—and just enough magic to make it all truly unforgettable.”—BookPage, starred review

REVIEW: Ugh, no, was not expecting that ending! Cute, fun book took a turn about halfway through with some sad twists and turns. Evie is an avid reader, expecially of romantic comedies. When her parents divorce, she deposits some of her book to a newighborhood little free library. What she gets in return is sight. She has turned cynical about love, until she steps into a local dance studio and meets X. There was so much to adore about both characters and their banter. The dance studio staff are colorful and unique. So, I was a bit disappointed when the dancing storyline dropped off and then picked back up with a short resolution. I was hoping to see more of these two dancing together! So much going for them. I read the whole book in two days and will say, without spoilers, to prepare yourself for some ups and downs. There is so much to sift through in both Evie and X’s relationships with their fathers. I truly enjoyed that they made each other smile. I loved the cover and the premise as well as the cutural elements. Thanks to Delacorte Press for the copy as part of the official tour! Content and trigger warnings: extramarital affair, LGBTQ relationship, “F” word, mention of sex, underage drinking, loss.

Review

Alaskan Homecoming is the 8th book in the Northern Light series, but the first one I have read. It can be read as a standalone without any problems at all. Rowan is visiting Alaska from Japan to help her grandma recover and to drive her to PT appointments. She happens to re-connect with her teen crush, Zack who has his hands full with a wildlife recovery effort and a custody battle for his sister. Throw in a thriving goat farm and cheese business, a side plot of a fundraiser and cooking competition, and you have rich descriptions to keep the pace rolling. I enjoyed the Alaskan setting, but had a bit of trouble with suspension of disbelief with how much our main character travels between Alaska, Japan, California and Las Vegas. At one point, she is worried with the prices of airfaire, after she has already jet setted all over in a short amount of time. That’s the only little plot disconnect I saw.

Rowan is in the process of learning to say no and live her own life. Her mother is a piece of work! The author writes some believable and deeply layered characters. There are also goats…love them! Harlequin Heartwarming series has once again delivered a clean read. Thanks to the author and publisher for the copy as part of the tour. If you are fan of Moose, goats, cheese, cooking or need a getaway to a remote locale, this is the book for you. A marriage of convenience with a sweet ending.

“Those who can destroy a world can control the universe.”

Everyone wants the Star of Erebus. Space-pirate Nyx Marcus is no exception. With it, she can prove to her father that she is worthy of his legacy. But she’s come up empty-handed aboard the space-ship Thanatos and now Malcam, her father’s First Officer, is mutinying. As Nyx flees with a loyal skeleton crew, she discovers that the planet-killing weapon, named after one of the seven gods, is more than what it seems. Erebus isn’t a simple weapon, but an ancient AI and a technological god.

With the oppressive Queen of the Protectorate and new pirate captain Malcam searching for the Thanatos and Erebus, the AI god has more surprises for Nyx. Waking dormant AI code in Nyx’s blood, Erebus reveals they are family and Nyx is the head of the Seven Stars pantheon. But while Nyx’s only choice is to protect Erebus, she wants no part of her AI responsibilities. Now Nyx must learn to control her power without sacrificing her own humanity or give her enemies a new way to oppress the known universe and lose the family she holds dear.

Review

The first thing I noticed about this book was the design. In print, it is a pocket sized, larger print format with a bright cover and flexible pages. I loved reading the smaller book as it was easy to hold and turn the pages. Simple choice by the publisher which made it fun! The content makes this one an unforgettable summer read set in an Italian villa. Two main characters show their points of view. Gianna is exhausted from camping in tents and roughing it as a film crew member for a movie star who is high maintenance and has just dumped her. She shows up to her town to be greeted by a dog she doesn’t know, but who seems to know her house. Dario is a business executive helping to run his family business, trying to break away on a writer’s retreat in a rented villa. All he wants is some peace and quiet to crank out book two in a best selling series, but gets much more than he bargained for.

I couldn’t put this one down! There is so much spunk in the storyline. Dario’s business reminded me of Shilling or McCormick spices in the U.S. and the inner working put some achievement oriented distance in his familial relationships. Gianna is patient as he cranks past writer’s block. Bound by a Ring and a Promise hooked me fro the first page and makes a wonderful escape. Thanks to the author and publisher for the complimentary copy and my first read of Summer!

Content: Fade to black love scene, mention of sex.
