January Wrap up - Book Haul & What to Expect Next Month

Welcome, welcome to my blog!

The first month of 2019 is coming to an end. My giveaway also ended this week and I'm so happy and thankful for all the people that participated! This is definitely something I want to keep doing yearly.

In February I will be gone for 10 days. The people that have been following me longer, maybe remember that I went to Kenya last year, as a volunteer with Teachers 4 Teachers. That is something that's going to happen again this year! I'm so excited and very happy to be a part of this great initiative. I will be writing a blogpost about this soon.

Happy reading this next month!

Feyre, Rhys, and their close-knit circle of friends are still busy rebuilding the Night Court and the vastly-changed world beyond. But Winter Solstice is finally near, and with it, a hard-earned reprieve.

Synopsis
In the frigid pre-dawn hours, in a distressed Midwestern city, desperate unemployed folks are lined up for a spot at a job fair. Without warning, a lone driver plows through the crowd in a stolen Mercedes, running over the innocent, backing up, and charging again. Eight people are killed; fifteen are wounded. The killer escapes.

In another part of town, months later, a retired cop named Bill Hodges is still haunted by the unsolved crime. When he gets a crazed letter from someone who self-identifies as the “perk” and threatens an even more diabolical attack, Hodges wakes up from his depressed and vacant retirement, hell-bent on preventing another tragedy.

But as small acts of mischief escalate into a vicious battle, Lord Blackheart realizes that Nimona's powers are as murky and mysterious as her past. And her unpredictable wild side might be more dangerous than he is willing to admit.
