Sneak Peek: A Multitude of Dreams

By Mara Rutherford

Coming soon on August 29, 2023

First Impression: (4 / 5)

I had the chance to read the first three chapters of A Multitude of Dreams, which releases next month. This young adult fantasy has a post-apocalyptic feel since it takes place a few years after a deadly disease broke out.

So far I have found the two main characters likable. I especially like that, even though written in 3rd person, there is a different feel in the writing between the chapters for each character. I’ll admit to feeling a little overwhelmed at all the characters we meet in just the first two chapters, but I think I’ll be able to keep it all straight. I really like the premise behind this book and think I would enjoy reading it.

Sneak Peek: Bittersweet in the Hollow

By Kate Pearsall

Coming soon on October 10, 2023

First Impression: (4 / 5)

I was able to read the first few chapters of the upcoming book, Bittersweet in the Hollow. I was sad to come to the end of the first look, because I would love to continue reading this book. It has a small-town fantasy feel, but it takes place in present-time so it feels very much like it could be taking place in the real modern world. There’s a distinct feel of mystery and unease that made me want to keep reading, with legends of a Moth Man and a child who mysteriously disappeared years ago.

So far I like the main character, Linden – she feels relatable, and her special ability to taste others’ feelings is portrayed well. She is experiencing amnesia about events that happened a year ago, and the flashes of memories she has already have me building my own theories as to what might have happened.

The writing of the book flows well and kept me engaged and interested in the story. I was able to breeze from page to page, not wanting to put it down until I reached as far as I could go. From what I’ve read so far, this book shows great potential, and I look forward to reading the complete story! I’ve already applied to be an advance reader through NetGalley, so fingers crossed that I get approved!

Sneak Peek: Thieves’ Gambit

By Kayvion Lewis

Coming Soon on September 26, 2023

First Impression (5 / 5)

I had the opportunity to read a sneak peek (the first 7 chapters) of Thieves’ Gambit, and this is definitely a book I’d like to continue reading!

This book pulled me in from the first chapter, which drops us straight into a heist. I never expected to like a character that’s a thief, but Ross, the protagonist, feels relatable and I really like her so far. This book looks like it will be filled with action and thrills. From what I’ve read so far, this definitely seems like a book I’ll really enjoy.
