Solace of Dusk (Dusk and Embers Book 1) 
by K.V. Meadows
March 2025
Genre: Romantic Fantasy
Those who play with prophecies will get burned…

23-year-old Undesirable, Durvla Garrick, has a dangerous secret. Being both deaf and having a chronic ailment, her very existence is treasonous. So, when the Queen’s mercenaries accuse her of stealing a dress, she comes quietly—better to be arrested for her knitting skills than her illness.

Under the watchful eye of the broody royal guard, Tiernan Kilkenny—the embodiment of the very people she’s spent her life hiding from—Durvla is appointed dressmaker to the princess. But castle life isn’t quite what she expected, and nor is its staff…

With the Queen dying, Princess Carys Meredyth fa Rhodri is reluctant to inherit the throne of a broken Kingdom when she feels so broken herself. Magic has been outlawed for a millennium—so why are her memories filled with whispers of enchantment?

When Carys finds a book that only she can read, more questions unravel. Are the fairytales that have provided her comfort since childhood really only stories? Or has the truth been right there all along?

Project Threshold Series 1: Wading Into Darkness by Craig Crawford + giveaway

Our world is a multiverse where monsters and entities cross over to threaten us.
Project Threshold protects humanity from darkness.

Project Threshold Series 1: Wading Into Darkness
by Craig Crawford
Sept 6, 2024
Genre: Horror, Science Fiction
Most people don’t believe in monsters, assuming people are hallucinating or crazy. A secret organization knows we live in a multiverse. Sometimes the barriers between worlds opens and things slip into ours. Nasty things that prey on us.

This group is Project Threshold and it stands between us and the monsters. Direct Contact Teams wade in to contain or kill any threats to humanity. There’s a price, however, and unless these agents are smart and savvy enough, dying comes quick and without warning. And, sometimes dying is in the line of duty is the better option.

Project Threshold wades in where others can’t or won’t. They have one objective: Protect humanity from darkness.

Wading into Darkness contains all stories from series one of the Project Threshold books.

Project Threshold: Team Berger: Division 1
In a multiverse where the walls are thin between our world and others, Project Threshold stands between humanity and monsters crossing over to threaten us. Harris Berger and his team intervenes on our behalf. Death waits around every corner but dying isn’t the worst thing they have to endure. Berger wades in with his team: Sam, Billy, Jacks, Jessie, and their new recruit, Pendelhaven. Team Berger faces an unknown advanced civilization, mimics loose on the streets of Chicago killing homeless people, dealing with the aftermath of witnessing awful things, mermaids in the Midwest and an apartment where people start committing suicide for no apparent reason.

Project Threshold: Team Talise: Division 2
Talise Randall leads Division-2, dropping in to protect us while trying to keep her own team safe. With minor psychic powers and learning from Kali who’s even more powerful, Bodi and Milla complete their ranks. Team Talise goes head to head with an unstoppable entity, an otherworldly jealous boyfriend, a haunted museum, a Victorian home with much more than a ghost, and her team discovers what happens to all those lost socks from people’s dryers.

Project Threshold: Team Riker: Division A
In Alaska, all manner of entities and monsters cross into our world from other dimensions and Hannah Riker and her team are the gatekeepers. Riker has a personal score to settle, hunting the monster that slaughtered her parents when she was a girl. Neville, Toddy and Melissa McCoy have her back as they follow in the wake of beings dispensing justice and marking their victims. They intervene on a resort where people disappear even during daylight, fend off a tribe of furry humanoids claiming ownership of a valley, and they stumble upon an ancient, unkillable entity bent on the destruction of humanity.

Project Threshold: Finale
Greed releases something without compassion or care. Its sole purpose is to cleanse the Earth of humans. Starting in Canada, it destroys everyone it crosses paths with, making its way to bigger settlements. Weapons won’t kill it and the only group who might be able to save humanity is Project Threshold.

Movie Review: Jurassic World Rebirth (2025)

Jurassic World: Rebirth
July 2, 2025
Director: Gareth Edwards
Writers: Michael Crichton, David Koepp
Starring: Scarlett Johansson; Mahershala Ali; Jonathan Bailey; Rupert Friend; Manuel Garcia-Rulfo; Ed Skrein
Running time: 2h 13m
MPAA rating: PG-13
Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet's ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.

Jurassic World Rebirth is the latest installment in the action-packed dino franchise. It's a total popcorn flick and I loved it. If you're expecting more, look elsewhere because this is for those who love edge-of-your-seat dinos!

Scar Jo brings the fun and humor in this one, with tons of laugh-out-loud moments and some real-life emotion. There is, of course, foreshadowing all over the beginning. it's sooooo clear what's going to happen and then of course it does. Typical, but you gotta love this is a paint by numbers of the best kind.

Sometimes I don't want to think, I just want to watch the biggest creatures that once walked the earth roar!!!! It's booming and shakes the seats at times and I LOVE it! Of course, the characters do the dumbest things, draw attention and don't turn around when they need to. But that's just how these go.

Some classic nods to the first love in this franchise; those who know will know. Listen, nothing will ever be as epic as the first movie, just get over that. But this one can be enjoyed from start to finish and was worth the ticket price + popcorn + candy + drinks + hot dogs....you get the idea.

The Devil In Fine Print : A Sci-Fi Conspiracy Thriller (The Cipher Conspiracy Book 1) by Jhani Mills

The Devil In Fine Print : A Sci-Fi Conspiracy Thriller (The Cipher Conspiracy Book 1)
by Jhani Mills
May 5, 2025
Genre: Technotriller, espionage 
They built a future on a lie. Now the truth could tear it all apart.

Elias Maddox didn’t mean to crack the Code.

His bestselling book was supposed to be fiction—until powerful forces began hunting him for what he unknowingly revealed. Caught between a brother chasing legacy and a secret Order determined to erase the truth, Elias is forced into a conspiracy far older and more dangerous than he imagined.

The Codex is ancient.
The Veil is waking.
And the world isn’t ready for either.

As the lines between myth and science collapse, Elias must decide what—and who—he’s willing to sacrifice to stop what’s coming.

The Cipherverse begins here. Truth is engineered. Power is inherited. And survival? That’s in the fine print.

Review
★★★★½ "A gripping sci-fi thriller that pushes the line between engrossing
fiction and unforgiving reality, The Devil in Fine Print is a deeply satisfying
gem of near-future science fiction with electrifying protagonists, which pulses
with tension and timely existential stakes that feel closer to reality every
day." Self-Publishing Review

★★★★★ "Jhani Mills delivers a masterclass in techno-thriller storytelling... a
gripping, cerebral, and deeply provocative debut." - Booksforbadal

★★★★★ "If you love speculative thrillers that flirt with real-world fears (like
surveillance, tech overreach, and secret societies), this is your jam." -
Reader's Favorite (KC Finn)

★★★★★ "Absolute chaos in the best way. The Devil in Fine Print gave me mad
science, twin tension, secret societies, and enough plot twists to short-circuit
my brain (in a good way)." - Goodreads Reviewer (Sue E.)

"Electrifying, suspenseful, and packed with jaw-dropping twists, The Devil In Fine Print plunges readers into a deadly conspiracy where two brothers are caught between exposing the truth and seizing unimaginable power—perfect for fans of The Da Vinci Code and The Firm." - NewInBooks

About the Author:
website
Jhani Mills is the author behind stories that split timelines, bloodlines, and hearts. Her debut novel, Astral Seeds: Eclipse of the Celestial War, earned both the Literary Titan Award and the International Impact Book Award for its explosive worldbuilding and cosmic scale.

But Mills doesn't stop at galaxies—she cuts deeper.

Her sci-fi thriller The Devil in Fine Print is a high-voltage descent into ancient syndicates, twin rivalries, and power buried beneath the surface of our reality. Her emotionally rich novel Whispers Where The Wildflowers Bloom proves just as lethal—instead of conspiracy, it explores trauma, healing, and the strength it takes to bloom again.

A South Florida native turned West Coast creative force, Jhani Mills is also the founder of Cipher Veil Press, a publishing imprint as bold and unflinching as her storytelling. Whether she’s writing about interstellar wars or the wounds we hide behind our smiles, her voice is unmistakable.

The fine print?

Truth always has a cost. And Mills makes sure it’s paid in full.

Magic Bites: Tales of the Shadow Folk

Genre: Dragons & Mythical Creatures, Fantasy, Dark Fantasy, Horror, Dark Romantasy
•    Enemies to lovers 
•    Hidden identities 
•    Badass Female MC 
•    Gods and goddesses
Forgotten by the gods, Adelaide forges her power in the sweet judgment of the sword — her only weapon against the shadow folk that would burn her kingdom to ashes and feast upon its people.

As princess of Sunfall, Adelaide faces more than threats of marriage and stuffy dresses. As secondary heir to a distinguished lineage blessed by the gods themselves, she lives with the crushing reality that the divine powers that be skipped over her. Her father and brother wield divine light as easily as some breathe, imbuing their weapons and armor with protections against the vampires that loom beyond the kingdom walls.

At twenty-six, the only thing saving Adelaide from a life of marriage and death by childbirth is her keen skills with a sword, whose imbued steel has propelled her to the top of her kingdom’s ranks and earned her a reputation of skill and prowess with her soldiers. She knows her life will find its end in the clutches of some beast’s fangs on the battlefield, just as her mother was claimed by them sixteen years ago.

With King Alaric’s power waning and her brother’s inability to produce an heir, Adelaide finds herself on the chopping block. Even the chance of producing an heir that can wield the divine light of Siralto puts her on the nobles’ radar. Powerless, she’s never going to escape the fate she tried so hard to ignore.

But all this changes the day her brother-in-law returns home from war. The problem? Only Shadow Folk come back from the dead. And if Finch is alive, well, and within their walls, it’s only a matter of time before the Shadow King himself comes to claim the vengeance he’s sought for almost two decades. Adelaide is powerless to stop him.

Or is she?

Magic Bites is the first in the Tales of the Shadow Folk. Perfect for fans of dark, epic romantasies with slow burn, enemies-to-lovers romances, Magic Bites has plenty of twists and turns in store. Do you dare to fight back against the Shadow Folk? Or will you, too, be swept away by sweet, simmering lies and sultry fangs?

Triggers: Child loss/fertility struggles, violence
