Ignite the Shadows by Ingrid Seymour | BBNYA Semi-finalist Spotlight
For fans of dark urban fantasy and apocalyptic fiction. Ignite the Shadows has intrigue, romance, and a heck of a lot of action. If you enjoyed Divergent, you will love this series.
Seattle. The near future. A dark force infects humans and takes over their minds.
Seventeen-year-old Marci is a hacker. The best in the city. Ever since she can remember, her mind has been under attack, but lately it’s getting worse. A dark force overrides her and makes her do awful things. Her mother and best friend believe that she’s a rebel child and that she meant to race her bike with the cops hot on her tail.
She wasn’t in control. Someone else was.
2021 BBNYA Semifinalist Spotlight on It Happened in Silence by Karla M. Jay
This is a powerful tale of family, a celebration of decency, and the heartbreak of society’s injustices then that rings true today.
Set in a world where women of the KKK betray their neighbors, horrors of unscrupulous foundling homes come to light, and buried mysteries are not all that hidden. It's 1921 in Georgia.
Thank you to @KarlaMJay1 @BBNYA_Official @The_WriteReads @FolioSociety for inviting me to participate again this year.
