Paperback, First, 402 pages
Published July 9th 2018 by Yaupon Berry Pressg

A cheerleader with a reputation. A ghost who wants justice. Two lives bound together until the killer is found. 

Sonora’s popularity means more to her than a new Michael Kors purse. With Fall Fling around the corner, she’s on the lookout for the perfect gown in the small Texas town. But a ghost has different plans.

When her best friend’s body floats ashore Brushy Creek, Sonora is haunted by the corpse-like spirit. The incessant ghost refuses to leave Sonora alone. She must risk death and sanity to find her friend’s killer. If Sonora isn’t careful, she’ll be the next victim.

Girl Gone Ghost is a standalone novel. If you like gripping suspense, sizzling chemistry, and dark secrets, then you’ll love Dawn Husted’s mystery, thriller romance.

*Perfect for fans of We Were Liars, Pretty Little Liars, and The Sixth Sense.

     

Congratulations Dawn

 on the release today of

Girl Gone Ghost!

I've read two other stories by Dawn. Even though her books are not in what I consider my usual genre, I was drawn to the beautiful covers and took a chance on the words inside. I loved them both! You can see the covers and read my thoughts below. 

When I saw that she had a new stand alone coming out, I jumped at the chance to read it. It sounds amazing! I can't wait to start reading it!!

Who am I

I’m married and have two energetic kids. My TBR list is getting a little long, a few books are: The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind, Beautiful Creatures, Night Circus, and The Longest Ride. I'm in the middle of reading Asylum by Madeleine Roux.

Years back, I helped build an orphanage in Malawi and became fascinated with other countries. I'd love to travel remote parts of the world one day.

I graduated from Texas A&M University with a bachelor's degree in something other than writing. But I love to write! In my spare time, I study German, aber ich bin nicht sehr gut. And in the rest of my spare time, I cook. If you follow my Instagram, you may find pictures of food. LOL.

I'm a strong believer in living life to the fullest. Otherwise, what's the point? And I don't let fear hold me back. I'd rather try and fail, than to have never tried. ~ from author's website

Scythe of Darkness by Dawn Husted ~ My Thoughts

Scythe of Darkness

Scythe of Darkness by Dawn Husted
Series: Scythe of Darkness, #1
Kindle Edition, 304 pages
Published June 13th 2017 by Amazon Digital Services

For Mia Hieskety, surviving high school meant focusing on exams and avoiding stupid parties. After breaking up with the only boyfriend she ever had, dating was off the agenda. That is, until Thanatos came along.

Inexplicably drawn to Thanatos, she's determined to find out who he is and why he insists on wearing gloves to school. Something is off about him. And it's as if she can feel him when he's near.

Without warning, she's thrust into a sinister world and discovers a truth that she never expected. When a supernatural connection puts Mia's life at risk, she doesn't know who to trust—especially Thanatos. But what if she's in love with him?

Bold, irresistible, and beautifully written, Scythe of Darkness explores a star-crossed destiny in a whole new way. Don't miss this hot YA urban fantasy!

  

My thoughts about Scythe of Darkness ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)

First lines—"The compulsion to find him made me slightly crazy. My knees shook, vibrating my full-size bed; my headboard tapped the wall like Morse code. Restlessness overtook my feet. I wished my parents would leave already."

To be honest, I have to say that this is not my usual genre but I read the short story prequel Touch of Darkness (Scythe of Darkness 0.5) and I was intrigued. I had to have more! I love it when an author takes me down a different genre path and then I end up loving it.  

Mia is drawn to Thanatos at the same time as being totally bewildered by him. She is confused by her attraction to Thanatos as much as she is frustrated by his presence and his past. I was just as confused as she was, which spurred me to keep reading.

And then, what an ending! I want more! This is book #1 and I am excited to see what comes next!

 The enticing prequel is available for FREE! 
Check it out, I know you'll want more.
