Synopsis:-

For Wendy, the story began in an old bookstore with a bearded man eager to spoil the story of the wildest adventure he knew of. But for Rai Mahaya, it started back when the Tigers used to smoke…

Rai Mahaya was a thirteen-year-old, living the life her parents laid out for her; school, study, break, study, eat, sleep and repeat. She was tired of it: the world, the school, studies, and of all…. herself. Frustrated by everything, she sets out to search for a mysterious well, said to be located within her school ground.

A well, Rai accidentally fell into.

It all began back when tigers used to smoke in the mythical country of Arcot, the land of the five Saviours. It is a land of possibilities. A land where a prince, on the run from his six brothers has been trying to do right by the country he was set to inherit after the death of his mother. Desperately trying to hold on to his position, he sets out on a journey to discover the Regal Hallows, a sacred ground, said to hold the secrets of the kingdom of Arcot, the same place where Rai mysterously splashed into.

Now on the run from the six princes together, Rai and Jenesys, aided by a stable boy, team up to visit the Regal Hallows before their time and lucks run

A rouge prince with a quest to finish.

A stable boy who likes to design m prisons for fun.

And a bored school girl who fell into a well.

Together they race against time to save a kingdom wanting to do nothing with them…

~*~ 

A cryptic puzzle. A family secret. A deadly betrayal.

When her dad dies during a trip to Romania, Kat Barrett blames herself for their failed relationship. She's racked with guilt, haunted by strange dreams about the crash that killed him, and she’d do anything to have him back.

Then a package arrives. It’s from her dad and contains a list of clues — one of his classic scavenger hunts. Desperate for answers, she follows the clues to Bucharest and meets Maksim, a local with a dark past who offers to help. Kat doesn't trust him, but when she hits a dead end, she’s left with no other choice.

As they work together, decode the clues and trying (unsuccessfully) not to fall for each other, the scavenger hunt reveals a deadly secret the dreams have been pointing to, something Maksim’s old crime ring has been hiding all along, and Kat has walked into their trap. Can she beat them to the final clue — and solve it — before she suffers the same fate as her dad?

Book Review for With or Without Panties

Although Karen Lieversz has a plethora of anthologies under her belt, With or Without Panties is her debut novel romantic comedy. The quirkiness and chemistry of her characters with the splash of suspense and a pinch of bromance makes this book an instant favorite.

What is a fate worse than death? According to Claire, being caught with ugly panties. Refusing to ever be caught in the tragic situation of her dear departed grandmother, Claire has made it her life mission to always have on nice, matching undergarments (what sort of monster would wear anything mismatched!) To prove that her attitude towards panties is healthy and in no way neurotic, compulsive, or borderline dysfunctional – Claire agrees to wear the underwear her mother gave her as a gift to her job interview. At this point, Claire needed all the luck she can get to finally move closer to her dream career. Determined to make a good first impression, hideous underwear and all, Claire heads to her interview but accidentally misses her stop. Knowing a short cut and confident that fate has better things to do, Claire quick change of course causes her to step right in front of a car! Squealing brakes and one gorgeous, yet irate driver later – Claire finds herself face to face with the most intoxicating man she has ever seen. Shocked, shaken, and a little turned on – Claire accepts Detective Jake’s offer to hang out at the precinct while she composes herself. Problem? She is still wearing her hideous underwear! As irrational as it is, she refuses to tempt fate again and removes the offensive garment before anyone could ever know. Big mistake as one drug sniffing dog is about to turn Claire’s world upside down. Who would have thought a pair of underwear could cause so much trouble!

From cheeky moments, to great supporting characters, to a message that will stick with you beyond the last page, With or With Panties was a surprisingly enriching story. Congrats to Karen on her debut novel. I am interested to see what else she will produce in the future.

Thank you Karen Lieversz Author for allowing me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Available October 17th!

BLURB

She’s everything I want, and everything I can’t have.

I’m no good with frail things. I’m a brute and break nearly everything I touch. Usually on purpose. Which is why I’m intrigued when Ava falls into my lap.

Her brothers—my best friends—have no idea what they’re asking of me when I’m tasked with keeping tabs on their little sister. I’m supposed to keep the bad guys away. Only, they seem to have forgotten one very important detail.

I am the bad guy.

I’m supposed to stay in the shadows, be a ghost in her world, but there are some opportunities too tempting to deny myself.

But making my way into Ava’s world means she’s drawn into mine.

And here, where I dwell, there’s only pain and death.

I was sent to be her protector. So, who’ll be left to save her when the darkness comes for us both?
