Welcome back to Fab Fiction Friday where I share books and authors I think you'll love as well as update you on my writing journey!
LIFE UPDATE
Are you ready for Christmas?
I am not. The only thing I've accomplished is decorating the house and moving an elf doll around my downstairs every night. (Which, to be fair, is a feat unto itself.) So I am going to do what I've done every Christmas since becoming an adult and scramble to get stuff done under the wire.
I hope you are doing better than me 😆
WRITING UPDATE
I have something up my sleeve that I've been working on for several weeks. It is very different than anything I've published so far, but the ideas are just coming to me left and right and I really can't help but write them down. So, if you're waiting on Rhett & Dana's story, I'm sorry. They are in progress too, but are moving at a snail's pace in comparison to this new idea. 😬
Here is a little aesthetics board to give you an idea...
BOOKS FOR YOUR TBR
I may or may not have read these books, but you can always count on them to be clean!
CHRISTIAN ROMANTIC SUSPENSE
Two Disappearances, One Deadly Connection.
In Philadelphia, Gavin's sister Cate goes missing, and her disappearance is linked to an enigmatic sorority invite. Gavin's search for clues takes him to Ricketts Glen State Park, where Park Ranger Samantha is investigating her own family tragedy—the unsolved disappearance of her uncle. As they piece together a complex puzzle, they unearth connections that lead them to a shadowy society operating in the area. Together, along with Gavin's brother Grayson, they find themselves entangled in a web of deceit and danger.
As threats multiply, they're forced into a deadly showdown with a clandestine organization, willing to protect its secrets at any cost. In this landscape of breathtaking beauty, alliances are tested, bonds are formed, and justice is sought. "Grave Secrets" is a story of courage, love, and twisted minds, that'll keep you on the edge of your seat.
CLEAN URBAN FANTASY SERIES

@TAWNISBOOKSHELF SPOTLIGHT
In here I will choose a book to highlight and share it with you! Every book I share here has been personally read and vetted by me.
This week's book is:
The Vanishing at Castle Moreau by Jaime Jo Wright:
A haunting legend. An ominous curse. A search for a secret buried deep within the castle walls.
In 1870, orphaned Daisy François takes a position as housemaid at a Wisconsin castle to escape the horrors of her past life. There she finds a reclusive and eccentric Gothic authoress who hides tales more harrowing than the ones in her novels. As women disappear from the area and the eerie circumstances seem to parallel a local legend, Daisy is thrust into a web that could ultimately steal her sanity, if not her life.
In the present day, Cleo Clemmons is hired by the grandson of an American aristocratic family to help his grandmother face her hoarding in the dilapidated Castle Moreau. But when Cleo uncovers more than just the woman's stash of collectibles, a century-old mystery and the dust of the old castle's curse threaten to rise again . . . this time to leave no one alive to tell the sordid tale.
Award-winning author Jaime Jo Wright seamlessly weaves a dual-time tale of two women who must do all they can to seek the light amid the darkness shrouding Castle Moreau.
MY REVIEW
I’m going to start with…WOW. This may be my favorite Jaime Jo Wright book to date. The romance was light but oh so sweet in both storylines and I absolutely loved how it all played out. There were so many pieces that made no sense until they made all the sense. This was just an incredible read and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys mysteries, suspense, and gothic vibes.
