Can you believe the end of the month is already here?

I turned 40 at the beginning of the month – August 1 to be precise – and I can’t believe the month has flown past me. Some of that has been because I’ve been hard at work setting up this website. And i have to say I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. 

We’ll be posting author interviews this week. Be sure to check the website for them after 9 a.m. CST on Monday, Wednesday and maybe Friday this week. I will post links to the ones that come out this week in next Monday’s email!

Is there something you’d like to see on Urban Fantasy Reads? If so, don’t hesitate to drop me a line!

And be sure to check out our Facebook and Twitter. You can share articles from there and it will help extend our reach!

Thank you and happy reading!

Nell should have known better: kissing frogs will only get you cursed.

High school senior Nell is a pro at hiding what she wants, from her college plans to her feelings. She’s so used to her own lies that she thinks nothing of the one she tells the green boy at the county fair’s kissing booth. But a lie to the green boy is meant to ensnare humans just like her—and trap them in the Fae circus master’s carnival forever.

Alone and forgotten by everyone she knew, Nell has no choice but to find her place in this dangerous, magical new world. But the carnival is more than it seems, and the curse has ensnared many more than just Nell. With time running out before the carnival moves on, can Nell bring them all together to fight back against the dark magic of the Fae?

Or will Nell and her new friends serve the Fae forever?

Carnival of Curses is part of a standalone series of novellas, Seasons of Magic. If you like found family, dark carnivals, and seasonal tales, then you’ll love Selina J. Eckert’s mysterious frog prince retelling. Grab your copy to leap into dangerous performances and fatal secrets today!

Clear waters, pristine beaches, and the bones of human sacrifices…

“Part fantasy, part mystery, all awesomeness” – 5 star review from award-winning book blog, 2 Girls and a Book

They say it took one hundred magical beings to defeat the first Arcanist. Great care was taken to ensure the secret to his malevolent power died with him. Now the brutal reign of the Arcanist has become little more than a scary bedtime story. And yet, the descendants of his loyal followers are sworn to find a way to bestow his dark magic upon another. If they succeed, they’ll unleash a new terror upon an unsuspecting world.

On the surface, it looks like a tropical paradise, but the island is hiding a sinister secret: it’s teeming with blood witches. Brought there against her will, Jen knows that she has to escape and warn the magical world about what she has learned. Staying means certain death, but trying to escape looks just as lethal.

Magic Awakened is Book Three in the Urban Fantasy series, Rise of the Arcanist, featuring dark witches, mermaids, werewolves, and more. It is a New Adult spin-off of USA Today Bestselling author Elizabeth Kirke’s award-winning More than Magic series. If you like your paranormal a little dark and creepy, take a vacation with Magic Awakened today.

Rise of the Arcanist is a six book serial, with each installment releasing a month apart. You do *not* have to read the original More than Magic trilogy to enjoy it.*

Urban Fantasy with Romance

When the clock started…

…there were only 24-hours to do the job.

Was it an impossible kill order?

Charlie has several faults. She can be a little klutzy and her snarky humor rears it’s head at inappropriate times. Also, she’s young and controlling her magic powers isn’t her strong suit. Still, she’s quite sure she’s the best mage assassin ever, but there’s just two problems.

She hasn’t killed anyone, yet.

And she hates the thought of taking a life.

Why did they choose her to kill the most powerful vampire in the world?

The Magician has a powerful artifact. The Necronomicon is a dangerous force. It’s why he had to kill Charlie’s family and he may have to finish the job, unless he can find a better use for her. Nobody is going to derail his plan.

He isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty.

In fact, he enjoys it.

Can Charlie become the thing the vampires, shifters, and warlocks fear most, a silent killer waiting in the shadows?

You’ll love this action-packed book 1 in the series, because it’s a tale of revenge, love, and growth, that will keep you turning the pages.
