Caged in Darkness
by J.D. Stroube

Summary from Goodreads:
A witch raised in a cage of darkness...
Savannah Cross was born into a life of isolation and abuse. As a child, she witnessed her parents perform acts of malevolent evil, and now feels permanently tainted by their dark deeds.

When a coven discovers a tear stricken child, wounded on their elders lawn, they offer her a sanctuary she has never known. Savannah spends the next several years shattered, continuously looking over her shoulder, waiting for the darkness to claim her.

On her 16th birthday, Savannah’s life takes a drastic turn.She is consumed by overwhelming power that forever alters her emotionally and physically.

She must choose between two loves; the one who taught her to smile or the darkly seductive stranger who tempts her towards another path. Savannah must decide between the coven that was her haven and another one vying for her initiation. Just as Savannah begins to grasp what fate has in store for her, an evil looms over her loved ones; coming to claim an unbreakable debt.

How will she choose and survive the greatest evil she has ever witnessed... long enough to have a choice to make.

Excitement Level:
It sounds like getting witch powers is not all that fun, so I'm really looking forward to reading how Savannah deals with all that darkness. So far the reviews have been great, and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy :D


The Marked Son
(Keepers of Life, Book 1) by Shea Berkley

Summary from Goodreads:
Seventeen-year-old Dylan Kennedy always knew something was different about him, but until his mother abandoned him in the middle of Oregon with grandparents he's never met, he had no idea what.

When Dylan sees a girl in white in the woods behind his grandparents' farm, he knows he's seen her before...in his dreams. He's felt her fear. Heard her insistence that only he can save her world from an evil lord who uses magic and fear to feed his greed for power.

Unable to shake the unearthly pull to Kera, Dylan takes her hand. Either he's completely insane or he's about to have the adventure of his life, because where they're going is full of creatures he's only read about in horror stories. Worse, the human blood in his veins has Dylan marked for death...

Excitement level:
This one actually comes out tomorrow. It's been quite a while since I've read a male 1st POV story and this one sounds promising!

Aug 1: This week’s musing asks…

As a book blogger, does reading others' blogs spark ideas for what you write on  your own?


Definitely! I'm just starting out in the book blogging world and the first thing I did was to check out other book bloggers and how they set up their pages. I found out about the memes, the reviews and rating systems, the giveaways, online book tours, and basically a bunch of stuff I didn't even know existed or could be done. So for now I'm doing the memes and reviews, but soon enough I'll be doing more stuff on my own  :)
