Hello beautiful bookish people!

Today I am reviewing R. J. Blain's book, Outfoxed, for Xpresso Tours and I can just tell you that I had a very enjoyable time with this book. It is definitely different from my current reads!

Outfoxed (The Fox Witch #1)

Can you briefly describe NEMESIS AND THE SWAN and its characters? 

Who would you say is your favourite character from the story and why?

How did the story occur to you? Did you find inspiration anywhere? 

Viola! Nemesis and the Swan.

If you could choose one song to describe your book, which one would it be? 

If your book was going to be made into a movie, who would play your characters? 

What drink and place do you think will go with your book to have a perfect book date? 

Can you recommend your readers any other books in case they are left hungry for more once they finish NEMESIS AND THE SWAN? 

What would you say is the most difficult part of writing a book?

What’s next for you?

My next book, INEVITABLE FATE, has a very different setting from Nemesis and the Swan, but there is still plenty of mystery, artsy atmosphere, and romance. It begins in 1913 at King’s Park Asylum on Long Island, where the tattooed “freak” accused of setting the amusement park fire that killed his true love writes a letter to his future self, convinced he is destined to love—and lose—her again if they can’t outsmart Fate. Over a hundred years later, Evan Kiernan reads this letter, but the events leading to his girlfriend’s death have already been set into motion. As he races against time to intervene, he finds that the past, present, and future hinge on the number three.

Can you briefly describe BUT FOR THE MOUNTAINS and its characters?

Could you describe your story with emojis?

Hello beautiful bookish people,

Brambles (Dauntless Path #3)

“I’ve got a secret,” Valka says, stepping up beside me. We stand at the edge of the roughly cobbled courtyard before the hall, mud sticking to our boots and our cloaks flapping in the chill spring breeze. 

The last of this morning’s departing carriages rolls toward the gates. Edlyna nods regally through the carriage window at us. 

“Wouldn’t you like to know it?” Valka presses. 

I glance helplessly around, as if someone might appear to rescue me. But of course, Valka has timed her approach perfectly: Mother has already departed with her coterie of vassals, and my brother hasn’t bothered to come at all. There are a few other nobles who have yet to leave for their lands for the summer, including Maralinde. But, along with the rest, she’s busy packing. Unlike Valka, unfortunately. 

“If it’s a secret, you shouldn’t tell anyone,” I say, shifting uneasily. “You’re such a mouse, Alyrra.” Valka gives a sweet, tinkling little laugh. The sound of it makes my skin prickle. I’ve heard that laugh enough times now to know that what she has to share will hardly be innocent.
