    Jan 28 2025
    There were so many good tidbits in our interview with author, Gretchen Shreiber. Listen to meet her and learn about her amazing book, Ellie Haycock is Totally Normal! About Ellie Haycock is Totally Normal: The Breakfast Club meets Five Feet Apart in this big-hearted novel from debut author Gretchen Schreiber. Ellie Haycock has always separated her life into sections: Ellie at home and Ellie at the hospital. At home, Ellie is a proud member of her high school’s speech and debate team alongside her best friend and her boyfriend. At the hospital, Ellie has a team of doctors and a mom who won’t stop posting about the details of her illness online. It’s not hard for Ellie to choose which of the two she prefers. But this latest hospital stay is different. Ellie becomes close with a group of friends, including Ryan, a first-timer who’s still optimistic about the doctors that Ellie stopped trusting years ago. Despite their differences, she can’t seem to keep him out of her head. Ellie’s life has never been ordinary―but maybe this time it will be extraordinary.

    Grave Secrets is a dark urban fantasy, with a strong FMC in the biggest fight for her life! Written by author Casandra Aston, the first book in the Prophecies of Angels & Demons, Allie Graves strikes a bargain with angels to cheat death. Will she survive? About Grave Secrets: Allie Graves is a lone demon hunter fighting for humanity’s souls. The price for her life was steep, leaving her isolated from humankind, but hope appears in the form of a tall, dark stranger named Simon. As Allie’s past resurfaces, threatening to destroy everything she knows, she’s forced to choose between putting her trust in the angels who saved her, or the man with secrets of his own. Gabriel, a seraph tasked with a centuries-long mission to eradicate the night creatures plaguing Earth, must decide whether to put his faith in the demon-hunting human he’s been asked to protect, or his own beliefs. When her life is on the line, he’ll have to choose between her life and the rest of the world. This gripping dark fantasy series throws a jaded demon-hunter, a dangerously charming stranger, and a conflicted angel together in a desperate bid to save humanity’s souls. Will they succeed, or will darkness prevail?
