What begins as a simple lost love case for private investigator Adam Fraley quickly escalates into something of far greater magnitude during the course of his investigation. Not only is it a potential felony he stumbles across but one of the rarest in the catalog of crimes, all due to a critical piece of information having been withheld by his client, a terminally ill World War II vet. The job eventually takes Fraley to remote stretches of Florida’s Withlacoochee River and events that occurred over a half century ago. At the center of the case are teenage twin sisters, Staci and Kati Carew, whose conflicting friendships, loves, and ambitions rise far above normal sibling rivalry, ultimately leading to a grievous injustice and major cover-up.

Excerpt



 As he watched the scene unfold before them, with his daughter riding the shoulders of her teammates, Adam could not help but be reminded of another time and place long ago when a young girl stood with her arms raised in triumph, a time when first loves were forever, summers endless, and young lives full of promise; of a bridge over the Withlacoochee River and Kati Carew, the backflip girl, whose summer of life was never to be.



     Oh, Staci...if only it had been a thumbs-up you had giver you sister...

The Guild Codex: Spellbound 1 & 2 by Annette Marie


Three Mages and a Margarita & Dark Arts and a Daiquiri
Annette Marie
(The Guild Codex: Spellbound, #1)
Published by: Dark Owl Fantasy Inc.
Publication date: September 14th 2018
Genres: New Adult, Urban Fantasy
Broke, almost homeless, and recently fired. Those are my official reasons for answering a wanted ad for a skeevy-looking bartender gig.
It went downhill the moment they asked me to do a trial shift instead of an interview—to see if I’d mesh with their “special” clientele. I think that part went great. Their customers were complete dickheads, and I was an asshole right back. That’s the definition of fitting in, right?
I expected to get thrown out on my ass. Instead, they…offered me the job?
It turns out this place isn’t a bar. It’s a guild. And the three cocky guys I drenched with a margarita during my trial? Yeah, they were mages. Either I’m exactly the kind of takes-no-shit bartender this guild needs, or there’s a good reason no one else wants to work here.
So what’s a broke girl to do? Take the job, of course—with a pay raise
Note: The three mages are definitely sexy, but this series isn’t a reverse harem. It’s 100% fun, sassy, fast- paced urban fantasy.


Dark Arts and a Daiquiri
Annette Marie
(The Guild Codex: Spellbound, #2)
Published by: Dark Owl Fantasy Inc.
Publication date: November 16th 2018
Genres: New Adult, Urban Fantasy
When I found myself facing down the scariest black-magic felon in the city, practically daring him to abduct me, I had to wonder exactly how I ended up here.
It all started when I accidentally landed a job as a bartender—but not at a bar. At a guild, populated by mages, sorcerers, alchemists, witches, and psychics. Good thing this lame-o human is adaptable, right?
Then my favorite guild members—three sexy, powerful, and intermittently charming mages—asked for my help. Did they want access to my encyclopedic knowledge of cocktails? Oh no. They wanted to wrap me up in a pretty ribbon and plunk me in the crosshairs of a murderous rogue to lure him out of hiding.
So that’s what we did. And that’s why I’m here. About to be kidnapped. Oh, and our grand plan for safely capturing said murderous rogue? Yeah, that completely fell apart about two minutes ago.
Why did I agree to this again?




Author Bio:
Annette Marie is the author of Amazon best-selling YA urban fantasy series Steel & Stone, its prequel trilogy Spell Weaver, and romantic fantasy trilogy Red Winter.

From USA Today bestselling author Sedona Venez comes an edge-of-your-seat captivating, heart-wrenching, romantic suspense.
I knew he was evil, lust, and darkness personified.

He should have terrified me, but he didn’t because I was just as messed up in the head as he was.

I was a spider trapped in his web.
I didn’t have it all figured out.

What I did know was Core was no Prince Charming, and I, for damn sure, wasn’t a princess.

There would be no fairy-tale ending for us.
It would be hard work, and more importantly, it would be real.

Life couldn’t be all about tiaras and knights riding in to save the day.

This was my give. This was his take.

And there was no going back.
Till death do us part…

Kisses Bath Set

\


I am in love with this Kisses bath set. It comes with a bottle of shower gel, a bottle of lotion, and a bath puff. The packaging was awesome. Mine came in a  gold foil shipping envelope and the bottles inside were wrapped together in a very cute printed tissue paper. 

The Sweet Floral scent is amazing and long lasting but not strong or overwhelming. The lotion does not leave me feeling greasy or sticky, just soft. The shower gel lathered nicely and also left me smelling wonderful. The bath puff is one of the small ones but seems to be made of very good quality. I love how the shower gel and lotion give the layering effect and smell exactly the same so it doe not spoil the scent at all.

Vitamin 75 Maximizing Cream By Wishtrend




I actually have mixed feelings about this cream. It is a white gel light cream with very little scent to it. It comes in a 50 Ml amber colored plastic jar with a white screw on lid. It is a day and/or night cream. My mixed feelings come in to play now. It works quickly into the skin with very little rubbing or effort but it does leave a sticky feeling not only on my face but my hand as well. When I move my face or hand or just rub my skin after it has time to dry in well it just feels sticky. I personally do not like  the sticky feeling.
