DARK DAYS BLOG TOUR ~ GUEST POST FROM CA KUNZ



Welcome to today's stop on The Childe/Dark Days blog tour! I'm very excited to be taking part in this fun event. A few weeks ago, the blog tour stopped by and featured my review of Dark Days. You can read that review here.  You can also read my review of the first book in the series, The Childe, here. Be sure read this entire post so you can find all the details about the tour (links, giveaways).
   Favorite Reads: Indie Published

So since we are indie published authors, we feel we need to take some time and share some of our favorite reads from fellow indies. We’ve actually enjoyed these novels just as much as other traditionally published novels, if not a touch more. Below is a list of some of our top indie reads:

The Saving Angels Trilogy by Tiffany King
Breathe by Abbi Glines
Dirty Blood by Heather Hildenbrand
Madly by M. Leighton
Mortal Obligation by Nichole Chase
The Book of Lost Souls by Michelle Muto
Callum and Harper by Fisher Amelie
The Soul Quest Trilogy by Amy Jones
Significance by Shelly Crane
Winnemucca by Laura Elliott
Released by Megan Duncan
Every Last Kiss by Courtney Cole
The Forest of Adventures by Katie M. John
The Tale of Lunarmorte Trilogy by Samantha Young
Hex, A Witch and Angel Tale by Ramona Wray
The Soulkeepers by G.P. Ching
Ethereal by Addison Moore
Anew by Chelsea Fine

Recommended for Adults:
The Chosen One Trilogy by Mireille Chester
Betrayed by Wodke Hawkinson
Near Death by Richard Hale
Let Us Prey by Jamie Lee Scott
On the Island by Tracey Garvis-Graves
The Vincent Boys by Abbi Glines

That's a great list of books. And I'm happy to say that I have read or plan to read at least ten of those.
