Dresden is cursed. His chest houses a hive of bees that he can’t stop from stinging people with psychosis-inducing venom.

Secrets of a Reluctant Princess

Welcome to the Cover Reveal for Secrets of a Reluctant Princess by Casey Griffin presented by Entangled Teen! Be on the lookout for this upcoming title, and be sure to enter the giveaway at the end of the post! Life-Action Role Playing gamers, this one's for you! Author, Casey Griffin's thoughts on the cover: Talk about punch! The colors immediately grab my eye and the font is so fun and unruly. I feel like the combination of those two things makes the cover of Secrets of a Reluctant Princess striking. With the simple yet powerful design, I think it will scream out from the bookshelf "pick me!" Or maybe that's just because I love pink. And glitter? What's not to love? I'm so happy with the results.

Hello Readers! Welcome to the Release Week Blitz for Why I Loathe Sterling Lane by Ingrid Paulson! If you haven’t checked out this series yet, what are you waiting for? Grab your copy today! Congratulations Ingrid! Per her 537 rules, Harper Campbell keeps her life tidy—academically and socially. But the moment Sterling Lane transfers into her tiny boarding school, her twin brother gets swept up in Sterling’s pranks and schemes and nearly gets expelled.

As she breaks rule after precious rule in her battle of wits against Sterling and tension between them hits a boiling point, she’s horrified to discover that perhaps the two of them aren’t so different.
