The Light of Asteria by Elizabeth Isaacs
Instinct and intent. These are the two overriding concepts woven through The Light of Asteria. Instinct is when you listen to the small voice inside you, directing your actions.

Facing Demons by Ashley Sanders
Somewhere during the tumultuous years we call being a teenager, I read a book called Voices that impacted me strongly at the time and stuck with me for many years. The concept of the book was the background and letters of teens who committed suicide, and was based on non-fiction cases.

I’ve had the privilege of catching some snippets of the book while playing on Twitter, and the concept intrigued me, so I jumped at the chance to get my hands on an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of the book.
Review 236: Candy Wars: The Tooth Fairies vs The Candy King by R. G. Cordiner
Think back in time to when you were young and had lost your first tooth. The excitement of putting it under your pillow, knowing that the tooth fairy would come and retrieve it and leave you some money in its place.
