Ruined by Rubies by Jay Leigh Brown
Jay Leigh Brown has revealed the cover for Ruined by Rubies!
Releasing April 14, 2021
How did I get into this mess?
A girl with an emotionally unavailable father and no mother needs more than a pet and a part time job in a pub to feel loved. I longed for a little excitement and adventure to combat my loneliness and seclusion.
Until the day my father disappeared leaving only a cryptic note, and I'm whisked away by three strangers to meet the shiny new family I didn't know existed.
Dropped into a new world and way of life, it doesn't take long for the glow of my new family to fade. Quick to profess their love and affection, lies and secrets seep to the surface, tarnishing my new relationships.
Untangling their web of deceit leads me closer to the truth but my three sexy keepers refuse to get out of my way. Can I find my father and navigate my new situation with Beau, Dev, and Asa blocking my every move?
Be careful what you wish for...you might just find your life Ruined by Rubies too.
*** Ruined by Rubies is the first in a series. It is a why choose slow burn novel about a young woman finding her place in a new world and a new family. Expect the heat to pick up in each successive book! Ruined by Rubies contains kidnapping, swearing, and some violence.***

Summary:
She was created for more than slavery; she was built for rebellion.
In an alternate Victorian England, clockwork cyborgs provide the primary source of labor for the upper class. Known as biomatons, they are property by law and have been manipulated and mind-controlled into subservience.
Taryn Roft, a 17-year-old girl, attending classes at Grafton's School of Mechanicks in London has a secret. What's even worse—she cannot remember anything before her twelfth birthday.
When a mysterious privateer discovers her secret, he offers her an ultimatum: accompany him to his airship, or her secret will be revealed to everyone. For Taryn, it's not much of a choice. Facing prejudice and cruelty may be nothing new to the only girl at an all-boys' school, but the further from home she gets, the darker her situation becomes.

MY REVIEW
I received an ARc of Lost Souls,Volume 2 and oh my goodness if you get a chance to get your copy when it comes out it is just as good as Volume 1. Daniele has a very unique way of telling stories that draw you in and you don't want to stop reading until you have finished the book no matter what time of the morning you finish. You can't stop reading once you start because you have to know what is going to happen to everyone in the story. Volume 2 starts where the first one ends with lots of surprises along the way. Tate is still just as controlling as well. I don't want to get to much away, but this will having you wanting more when you finish. I can't wait to see what happens in the next installment.

Book Lovers Unite for World Suicide Prevention Day 2020
Book Lovers Unite for World Suicide Prevention Day 2020
September 10th is World Suicide Prevention Day. Authors, readers, and bloggers are uniting again his year to fight stigma, spread mental health awareness, and support the prevention of suicide. To encourage participation, we're giving away a $50 Amazon gift card and a Book Lovers Unite for World Suicide Prevention Day t-shirt to one lucky winner.
Two kinds of stigma continue to persist: public stigma and self-stigma. Public stigma occurs when other people view a person with a mental illness in a negative way. Public stigma feeds into self-stigma when people with mental illness internalize the negative talk they hear from others.
Well-meaning people say things like, "Suck it up," "Choose to be happy," "Turn that frown upside down," or "Focus on your blessings," as if mental illness were a mood, a frame of mind, or an attitude that can simply be overcome at will.
Often, people who suffer from mental illness blame themselves instead of seeking help. Just as a diabetic needs insulin, a person with mental illness may need treatment.
People who contemplate suicide don't want to die; they just can't fathom how to live because they are so miserable. They can't see past their pain and misery, and they see no point in going on.
According to the International Association for Suicide Prevention, "Every year, suicide is among the top 20 leading causes of death globally for people of all ages. It is responsible for over 800,000 deaths, which equates to one suicide every 40 seconds."
IASP explains that "[e]very life lost represents someone’s partner, child, parent, friend or colleague. For each suicide approximately 135 people suffer intense grief or are otherwise affected. This amounts to 108 million people per year who are profoundly impacted by suicidal behaviour. Suicidal behaviour includes suicide, and also encompases suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. For every suicide, 25 people make a suicide attempt and many more have serious thoughts of suicide."
If you're contemplating suicide, please don't do it! Instead, seek help. You might be suffering now, but you never know what tomorrow brings. Reach out to a friend or family member. See a doctor. If that doctor doesn't help, try another. Please don't give up.
If you're in crisis, please reach out to the toll-free hotline in your region. You can find your hotline here: https://www.iasp.info/resources/Crisis_Centres/.
If you are grieving the death of a victim of suicide and need help, here are resources that can help: https://www.iasp.info/resources/Postvention/National_Suicide_Survivor_Organizations/.
If you suspect that someone you know may be contemplating suicide, please reach out. We often hesitate because we're afraid we might make things worse by saying the wrong thing. According to IASP, "Evidence suggests that this is not the case. The offer of support and a listening ear are more likely to reduce distress, as opposed to exacerbating it."
Warning signs to look for include severe anxiety, agitation, hopelessness, rage, feelings of being trapped, a strong urge for vengeance, engaging in risky activities, excessive alcohol and/or drug use, withdrawing from people, trouble sleeping, and dramatic mood changes.

MY STORY
I know it is hard to deal with a lot of issues but Suicide is not the answer. Try to talk to some one. A friend, a teacher, a therapist, a relative, a sister/brother, your grandparents, or even your aunts/uncles are great people to talk with. I have had my own issues with suicide and thank goodness I had a few friends at my house when I was in high school who kick in the bathroom door and stopped me from taking all the pills I had in my hand. I was just tired of all the bullies in school and I figured this was the fastest way to deal with it. Please don't allow those who are hurting too to cause you to end your life. You will be gone but all your family member will be hurting long after you are gone. They will try to figure out where they when wrong and why they never picked up on the signs. PLEASE ASK FOR HELP.

WOODS OF SILVER AND LIGHT, BY VICTORIA MCCOMBS
"Ronin’s son is dead, and Maid Marion is gone. But a sorceress banished to the Woods can bring his son back if he and his Silver Raiders are willing to do something for her first.
She finds there's nothing Ronin Hood won't do for his son…
Anika finds herself drawn to the mystery of the Woods and the thieves who live within, but the cost of associating with the Silver Raiders becomes higher than she's willing to pay.
The darkness of the Woods seeps into the Raider's hearts, blurring the lines between hero and villain. Anika's fight for freedom turns into a fight to survive the magic of the trees that should have never been awoken.
This isn't the tale of Robin Hood you remember."

LEXAN'S DREAM (The Empire Saga #3.5) by M. Dalto
LEXAN'S DREAM (The Empire Saga #3.5)
By M. Dalto
" Lexan was the Crown Prince of the Borderlands, a title and position that was forced upon him out of vengeance and spite, and while growing up, he knew no better. Even after the return of the Queen Empress to the Empire, his desire to maintain his own line ran deeper than blood.
At least, until the dreams began.
Now, Lexan must decide which path he will follow- the one that leads him to his fated power and glory, or the one that brings him to the family he knew he had but was never able to know. "
