Karissa Laurel’s cover for the novel, Midnight Burning, is fantastic and I was so happy when I won a signed paperback copy.
A cover can make the difference between picking up a book or passing it over for another.
I am a “cover girl” and proud of it!

MY REVIEW
Midnight Burning is Book I of Solina Mundy’s paranormal/fantasy journey into the death of her brother, Mani.
She travels from a small town in North Carolina to Alaska and back again, seeking answers.
I love her new friend, Skylar, and think she will become a big part of Solina’s life. She’s an ex-Marine and backs down from no one.
The characters have distinct personalities and they shine through in the dialogue.
The dialogue is witty and snarky and I love it.
I love covers, especially when they foreshadow the upcoming story and this is a beauty. The eyes draw me in, looking for…
Midnight Burning by Karissa Laurel was not what I was expecting. The paranormal and myths and legends collide. It is sometimes hard to tell if their talents are a gift or a curse.
The story is predictable and there is a triangle. I would recommend the book and I am looking forward to more of Solina’s story in Book II.

GOODREADS BLURB
Solina Mundy lives a quiet life, running the family bakery in her small North Carolina hometown. But one night, she suffers a vivid nightmare in which a wolfish beast is devouring her twin brother, who lives in Alaska. The next morning, police notify her that Mani is dead. Driven to learn the truth, Solina heads for the Land of the Midnight Sun. Once there, she begins to suspect Mani’s friends know more about his death than they’ve let on. Skyla, an ex-Marine, is the only one willing to help her.
As Solina and Skyla delve into the mystery surrounding Mani’s death, Solina is stunned to learn that her own life is tied to Mani’s friends, his death, and the fate of the entire world. If she can’t learn to control her newfound gifts and keep her friends safe, a long-lost dominion over mortals will rise again, and everything she knows will fall into darkness.

I’ve got this one. Just need time to read it. I do like that cover art!
Isn’t it awesome? I ended up liking the main characters friend the best. I wonder if there will be a story for her? What do you think, Karissa?
