#TheWriteReads blog tour | “Time-Marked Warlock” (The Chronos Chronicles, Book One) by Shami Stovall

Posted Wednesday, 10 June, 2026 by jorielov (Narrator) Annie Ellicott, (Narrator) Jeff Hays, (Narrator) Justin Thomas James, Shami Stovall, Soundbooth Theater, The Chronos Chronicles, Time-Marked Warlock 0 Comments

Acquired Book By: I found out about this novel via The Write Reads who was hosting a blog tour for the sequel Chronos Warlock in (2025). I had intended to finish reading and listening to the audiobook for the blog tour – however, the tour was postponed and delayed, and I had things going on in my life at the time which prevented me from finishing my time with Adair Finch. I have the first two novels in print and in audiobook courtesy of the author – and it has been a long journey towards rectifying my time spent in these novels as my heart has been itching to finish them as I love the world within them but personally I’ve been going through a heck of a lot since I first signed on for the blog tour. Including losing my father after a long bout of medical crises and having my Mum facing her own health issues that were difficult to go through as well. This story and the series within it – has been a mainstay of curiosity for me and one that I’m thankful I can finally share with my readers and others who visit me alike. I’m grateful for the patience of The Write Reads and the author for giving me extra time with this novel, too!

I received a complimentary print and audiobook copy of “Time-Marked Warlock” direct from the author Shami Stovall in exchange for an honest review. I did not receive compensation for my opinions or thoughts shared herein.

Why I wanted dearly to read & listen to this audiobook:

I originally announced the arrival of “Time-Marked Warlock” and “Chronos Warlock” on my #bookstagram feeds in March of (2025). I sort of fell hard for the premise of this series – it felt like the kind of quirky Urban Fantasy & Magical world I wanted to visit and settle inside as those are the kinds of stories which are my cuppa of the last several years. From Jeannie Wycherley’s Wonky Inn and Wonderland Detective Agency to Ms Chris’s Tipsy Fairy Tale Trilogy – you could say, if its quirky, humourous and dearly magical – odds are in good favour I’ll be wanting to devour it! Laughs.

Plus, I’ve had a keen fascination with time and how time can become bent in stories as well – including reading the trifecta of time across Contemporary, Historical and SpecFic realms: time travel, time bent and time shift narratives. Each style being a bit different from each other and carry their own uniqueness to the table of how a story can be told, experienced and explored. To have a series rooted in ‘time’ felt like it was perfect for me.

It isn’t oft I get to read a book in print whilst listening to the audiobook – it is a special treat whenever that is able to be done and in this case, it added to the dimension of the story. Plus, it is wicked to have a ‘cast’ and theatrical performance of the story vs having an individual or duo narrator team performing the story. I enjoy both styles of audiostories but this one in particular was lovingly unique and enjoyable.

Also, it should be noted, I’ve been talking about this novel and series for awhile now – if you take a look at this WWWWeds post of mine and this post via my #bookstagram!

Time-Marked Warlock
by Shami Stovall
Source: Author via The Write Reads

Adair Finch is the most powerful warlock in the world, and one of the best private investigators for hire. He has dealt with corporate vampires, murderous werewolves, and even fae royalty. Everything was perfect until he lost one case—the case where he also lost his brother.

So Finch retired. From magic. From PI work. From everything. Bree Blackstone, a twelve-year-old witch, doesn’t know or care about any of that except Finch’s reputation. In the middle of the night, she bangs on Finch’s door. Her mother has been murdered, and now the assassin is after Bree as well.

Reluctantly, Finch agrees to help, only to discover something sinister has been brewing in town while he ignored the world... He’ll need to dust off all his old skills and magic before it’s too late.

"Fans of the Dresden Files and the Iron Druid Chronicles will definitely enjoy Stovall's creation." - Jason Cordova, national bestselling author

#TheWriteReads blog tour | “The Half-Life Empire: An Alien Apocalypse Novel” (Half-Life Empire, Book One) by Shami Stovall

Posted Tuesday, 22 April, 2025 by jorielov (Narrator) Diana Richardson, Half-Life Empire series, Podium Audio, Shami Stovall, The Half-Life Empire 0 Comments

Borrowed Book By: I found out about this novel via The Write Reads who was hosting a blog tour in April, 2025. I decided to check to see if an audiobook copy was available to purchase via Audible as I have a subscription to their Plus Catalogue. I was surprised to find it is included in the Plus Catalogue, thereby, I was able to ‘borrow’ or listen to a copy of the audiobook via my subscription without having to purchase the audiobook at this time.

Thereby, this is a self-listen of mine and I was not obligated to post a review. I am sharing my ruminative thoughts for my own edification and for continuing to share my readerly life on Jorie Loves A Story. I did not receive compensation for my opinions or thoughts shared herein.

Why I wanted to step outside my zone of comfort for this audiobook:

I have been in such a readerly rut lately – too much on my heart/mind to properly focus on STORIES. Sad yet true. I knew I needed to pull myself out of this FUNK and guess what? The Half-Life Empire is just the kind of STORY I need right now. I discovered the writings of Ms Stovall with the novels Time-Marked Warlock and Chronos Warlock – of which are future reads and reviews of mine. If the last few weeks were different – the first novel of that series would have been happily consumed and reviewed already. However, if you read over the top anchour of my #BestBooksOf2024 post you’ll understand what has been going on IRL for Mum and I.

Try as I might, I’ve been finding myself pulled out of reading and the stories I want to be attached inside of late. I know what caused the detachment but how to restart reading again when you can’t find yourself able to focus? Wells. Sometimes you have to read something radically outside your normal wanderings and reboot your readerly life. For me, that was choosing a story that was within one of the main genres I regularly read but perhaps not a subniche of the genre I’ve previously read. Towards that end – I was grasping at straws as they say to find such a book and to find a writer I who could hold my attention.

Then, quite unexpectedly this lovely blog tour was announced, and I looked up the story and felt it might kick me out of my readerly funk! Especially considering I know NOTHING about Post-Apocalyptic worlds and rarely do I read stories about aliens overtaking worlds. Science Fiction is one of those delightful segues of interest in my regular wanderings and one that I want to delve deeper into exploring this year which is why I have a stack of Sci Fi Reads in queue. This particular story felt wholly new to me, and I felt would offer a new perspective on a genre I still feel like I’m in the early days of discovering.

Sometimes you just have to take a chance – find a story and buckle up for the ride it gives you! And, for me, the story held my interest for a long while until I reached a point where I wasn’t sure I could continue with the story. Although this ended up becoming a DNF for me – I have a lot of notes and thoughts to share about the story, the lead character (Kita) and the performance of the narrator – in case anyone else feels this is a better fit for them and know they can finish the journey I started with The Half-Life Empire.

The Half-Life Empire
by Shami Stovall
Source: Audible | Subscription
Narrator: Diana Richardson

From the Dragon Award–nominated author of Astra One young woman leads a ragtag band of survivors across a fractured, post-alien-invasion America.

Hacker Kita Yamasaki would do anything to escape the post-apocalyptic landscape that was the result of the Forever Winter. But for a normal person, the only options are the war-hungry nation-state of Ex Cathedra or the isolationist United California. Fortunately, Kita is anything but normal.

When she finds a faded brochure for the BC Oasis—an underground greenhouse capable of sheltering a quarter million people—she jumps at the opportunity, even going so far as to steal a fission battery the oasis requires to operate at full capacity. There’s just one problem . . . The battery belongs to the ruthless judges of Ex Cathedra.

Now Kita finds herself the target of a deadly chase. In her race to safety, she picks up three fellow Dallas; his mute daughter, Crouton; and Bishop, a junk hunter. But will they betray her and take the battery for themselves? Is one of them a member of the cultist Iron-Blooded who worship the few remaining alien invaders scattered across Earth’s wasteland?

Faced with certain death if they’re caught by the judges’ power-armored soldiers, Kita must put aside her suspicions and make a headlong dash for sanctuary—and the promise of a new life.

A #SpooktasticReads Audiobook Review | “A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking” by T. Kingfisher, narrated by Patricia Santomasso

Posted Sunday, 27 October, 2024 by jorielov (Narrator) Patricia Santomasso, #SpooktasticReads, A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking, Recorded Books, T. Kingfisher, Tantor Audio 0 Comments

Borrowed Audiobook By: I started to listen to audiobooks in [2016] as a way to offset my readings of print books whilst noting there was a rumour about how audiobooks could help curb chronic migraines as you are switching up how you’re reading rather than allowing only one format to be your bookish choice. As I found colouring and knitting agreeable companions to listening to audiobooks, I have embarked on a new chapter of my reading life where I spend time outside of print editions of the stories I love reading and exchange them for audio versions.

I currently have subscriptions to both Audible and Everand (previously known as Scribd) as well as Spotify whilst I used to borrow audiobooks via CloudLibrary and occasionally Libby (though the latter rarely has books I’m interested in reading). I regularly purchase audiobooks via Audible whilst for other titles which are part of the Plus Catalogue of audiobooks, I can ‘borrow’ them as part of my subscription. Similar to how Everand works as well as Spotify. Spotify does limit how many hours you can listen to audiobooks per month whereas the limits are higher on Everand and Audible. So far, it has always worked out for me as a listener though this is the first year I’ve attempted to listen to audiobooks on Spotify.

As I listened to an audiobook copy of “A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking” as part of my subscription to Audible, I was not obligated to share a review on its behalf. I am sharing my ruminative thoughts for my own edification and for continuing to share my bookish and readerly life on my blog Jorie Loves A Story and/or on social media of my choice. I did not receive compensation for my opinions or thoughts shared herein.

And, so it begins! Happy #SpooktasticReads:

I happily listened to A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking whilst #SpooktasticReads was getting underway this year and I couldn’t be more delighted to announce it was my first listen to finish, too! Except to say, it took me a bit longer to finalise the review on its behalf because it became a bit of an emotional read for me and there were portions of the story, I listened to quite extensively without writing any notes down. As I was colouring as I listened, I also made a lot of progress in my Halloween themed colouring book – full of sugar skulls, pumpkins, haunted houses and other delights which befit a Halloween colouring adventure! Laughs.

The main reason it took me awhile to reconcile my emotions with the story is because I had a rather hard-hitting week at work. I was filling in for different people and working extra hours as a result and at some point, the exhaustion won out over anything else. By the weekend, I felt done in and had a long satisfying rest to recover my energies and spirits. Also, this story starts out with such a burst of hilarity I wasn’t quite prepared for the shift in gears to where it took such dramatic turns in the story – both for the characters themselves and for us as readers listening to the narration. You sort of get caught off-guard as there is so much humour laced through the opening bridges of the story until everything gets turnt quite serious and then, there is less to laugh about truly as it is a very serious story by all counts.

I was just lost in this world – completely consumed by the vision Kingfisher had for it and rallying behind her characters who had the odd stacked against them and never once felt like throwing in the towel without at least attempting to survive despite the realities of what they were facing. It was a very strong message about coming together as community and fighting fiercely for what you believe in whilst never allowing your enemy to get the better of you either. There were supporting characters who were equally quirky and courageous whilst the persons in power were humble and vulnerable like the everyday citizens of their kingdom, too. It was a very well-rounded tale and one that I felt was wickedly narrated too.

I will definitely have to purchase this audiobook at some point because it was definitely a beloved read of mine this #SpooktasticReads and I was quite chuffed it was available to listen to via Audible’s Plus Catalgoue! Quite the find, indeed! Thereby if you’ve been wanting to listen to this story yourself – it is on Audible but it is also available through Everand, too.

This story took the award for BEST Young Adult Fantasy
and BEST Audiobook Narrator for 2024.

Blog Book Tour | feat. The Blackstone Legacy series by Elizabeth Camden

Posted Saturday, 4 February, 2023 by jorielov (Narrator) Pilar Witherspoon, Baker Publishing Group, Bethany House Publishers, Carved in Stone, Elizabeth Camden, Hearts of Steel, Recorded Books, Written on the Wind 0 Comments

Acquired Book By: I am a regular tour hostess for blog tours via Historical Fiction Virtual Book Tours whereupon I am thankful to have been able to host such a diverse breadth of stories, authors and wonderful guest features since I became a hostess! HFVBTs is one of the very first touring companies I started working with as a 1st Year Book Blogger – uniting my love and passion with Historical Fiction and the lovely sub-genres inside which I love devouring. It has been a wicked fantastical journey into the heart of the historic past, wherein I’ve been blessed truly by discovering new timescapes, new living realities of the persons who once lived (ie. Biographical Historical Fiction) inasmuch as itched my healthy appetite for Cosy Historical Mysteries! If there is a #HistRom out there it is generally a beloved favourite and I love soaking into a wicked wonderful work of Historical Fiction where you feel the beauty of the historic world, the depth of the characters and the joyfulness in which the historical novelists brought everything to light in such a lovingly diverse palette of portraiture of the eras we become time travellers through their stories.

I received a complimentary copy of “Hearts of Steel” direct from the publisher Bethany House Publishers in exchange for an honest review. The Digital Audiobook copy of Carved in Stone” and “Written on the Wind” were available via my library’s CloudLibrary. My ruminations on behalf of the audiobooks (books one and two) are being shared for my own edification and to help introduce my readers to the series overall whilst sharing my own journey in its discovery. I did not receive compensation for my opinions or thoughts shared herein.

Why I wanted to read this series:

When I first started blogging, I was going to set out to read new authors of INSPY Lit I hadn’t had the pleasure of reading previously. It was through my visitations with Casey Herringshaw’s blog which inspired the list I had developed of seeking out new and established INSPY authors who were drawing the eye of book bloggers like Ms Herringshaw and readers alike. It was through reading her blog rather extensively I found the list which was then developed in the final #70AuthorsChallenge. Uniquely, Elizabeth Camden happens to be the 67th author out of my original #70AuthorsChallenge List – as I disclosed ahead of reading her Empire State series.

What I hadn’t realised is that I had uncovered another intriguing saga to read whilst I start to shift back into the O’ Connors saga by Julie Lessman. I have had a firm penchant for INSPY dramatic Historical Fiction (ie. sagas, series, and multi-generational quartets or trilogies) and it always a wicked wonderful day when I realise I can settle into a trilogy and/or saga which is beautifully layered and dearly engrossing! As soon as I put on my headphones and began to listen to ‘Carved in Stone’ the first novel of the Blackstone Legacy series, I found myself smitten with the narrator and completely entranced with the developing story Camden had written.

She has a wonderful way of developing the momentum of a series early-on whilst grounding us through an engaging narrative that propels us forward and leaves us itching for more details. Those wordsmirths like Camden give me a wicked good read and I am grateful that my library had the first two novels in audiobook – allowing me to gain a foothold into the series before I moved into the last installment which is being highlighted on this lovely blog tour: “Hearts of Steel”.

Originally, I had planned to listen to both the first and second novel in full ahead of reading the third novel in print; however, the hours kept erasing themselves off the clock this past week as I had to double-down on my work hours (ie. double shifts) whilst dealing with an issue with our car and recovering from a charley horse yesterday as well as a small bout of illness that was most unwelcome and ill-timed! I decided to re-shape the context of my post for the blog tour and discuss what I enjoyed within the first moments of all three novels whilst leaving the door open for when I can resume my listening of the series and complete my joys of feeling anchoured in the Blackstone Legacy series overall.

I hope my shortened ruminations might tempt you to check out the series for yourself – or encourage you to take a look at some of Camden’s other stories and series as well. This is the second time I’ve had the chance to read one of her series on a blog tour and I am most grateful for being included on the tour – despite failing to post within the original time-line of the tour itself. I missed it by a day and I regret that but am full of appreciation to the publisher for sending me ‘Hearts of Steel’ as much as I am for being included on the tour list by Historical Fiction Virtual Book Tours.

Hearts of Steel
by Elizabeth Camden
Source: Publisher via Historical Fiction Virtual Book Tours

Eloise Drake's prim demeanor hides the turbulent past she believes is finally behind her. A mathematical genius, she's now a successful accountant for the largest engineering project in 1908 New York. But to her dismay, her new position puts her back in the path of the man responsible for her deepest heartbreak.

Alex Duval is the mayor of a town about to be wiped off the map. The state plans to flood the entire valley where his town sits in order to build a new reservoir, and Alex is stunned to discover the woman he once loved on the team charged with the demolition. With his world crumbling around him, Alex devises a risky plan to save his town--but he needs Eloise's help to succeed.

Alex is determined to win back the woman he thought he'd lost forever, but even their combined ingenuity may not be enough to overcome the odds against them.

An Audiobook Blog Tour | “Search for the Holy Grail” (Volumes: 1-3 Boxed Set) produced by The Audiobook Empire, writ by MJL Evans and GM O’Connor

Posted Saturday, 27 August, 2022 by jorielov (Narrator) Anne Marie Lewis, Audiobook Empire, GM O'Connor, MJL Evans, Search for the Holy Grail 0 Comments

Acquired Audiobook By: I started to listen to audiobooks in [2016] as a way to offset my readings of print books whilst noting there was a rumour about how audiobooks could help curb chronic migraines as you are switching up how you’re reading rather than allowing only one format to be your bookish choice. As I found colouring, knitting and playing solitaire agreeable companions to listening to audiobooks, I embarked on a new chapter of my reading life where I spend time outside of print editions of the stories I love reading and exchange them for audio versions.

Through hosting for Audiobookworm Promotions (which is now Audiobook Empire*), I’ve expanded my knowledge of authors who are producing audio versions of their stories. Meanwhile, I am also curating my own wanderings in audio via my local library who uses Overdrive and/or CloudLibrary for their digital audiobook catalogues. Aside from my libraries, I also enjoy having Audible & Scribd memberships as my budget allows. It has been a wonderful journey and one I enjoy sharing – as I am now fully expanding how many audiobooks I listen to per year whilst enjoying being a part of the LibroFM ALC programme and an audiobook reviewer for NetGalley as well.

I received a complimentary audiobook copy of “Search for the Holy Grail” via Audiobook Empire who is working with the author on this blog tour in exchange for an honest review. I did not receive compensation for my opinions or thoughts shared herein.

NOTE: (*) The Audiobook Empire is run and owned by Jess @ Audiobookworm Promotions; as a reviewer and book blogger with her promotions company for audiobooks, audio publishers, narrators and authors – it felt like a natural transition to find titles I would be interested in reviewing via Audiobook Empire. Some of those reviews will run during audio blog tours and some will run outside of them. In 2022, she decided to merge the promotional side of Audiobookworm Promotions into Audiobook Empire rather than maintain the two separately.

Hallo, Hallo dear hearts!

I am starting to dive back into reading per my latest #WWWWednesday wherein I discussed my unexpected sabbatical from reading, blogging and engaging whilst mentioning that it is through audiobooks and Cosy Mysteries, I am starting to make my journey back into stories and the joys they have always given me as a reader. For today’s post, I am taking part on an audiobook blog tour – one of my first in a long absence from hosting for Audiobookworm Promotions which is now known directly as Audiobook Empire. Jess made the transition this year to merge her promotional side of her business into her audiobook producing company which I felt was a fantastic move on her part as everything is inclusive and together now.

It is a credit to Jess @ the Audiobookworm who first tipped my hat into considering to listen to audiobooks and to this day is one of the key reasons why I fell in love with audiobooks as much as I have throughout the past six years. By participating on her blog tours, I’ve developed a good sense of narration styles that I prefer and have found many beloved narrators who unexpected walked into my life through their audiobooks which arrived in my ears! It has been such a clever journey – to re-discover the artfulness of a story through an audio presentation.

Thereby this marks my first listen as a returning audiobook listener and my first blog tour as a returning blog tour hostess. If you haven’t yet heard of the Audiobook Empire, I encourage you to check out their website and also, if you’re a book blogger who is just getting familiar with audiobooks, I encourage you to consider hosting for the Empire, too. If you’re already a huge fan of audiobooks, the Empire is where you want to become a part of as a listener.

Search for the Holy Grail
by MJL Evans, GM O' Connor

Narrator: Anne Marie Lewis

Every pirate in the Caribbean is searching for The Holy Grail - a ship carrying the treasury of Hanover and the countess Aurora of Calenberg, suspected of orchestrating the theft. Prinz Maximilian will stop at nothing to catch her and regain the fortune, even if it means following her into the deepest, darkest recesses of Samaná Bay. With pirates and cutthroats at every turn, will she be reunited with her handmaiden, Helena and her portrait painter, Dodo? Aurora’s only solace is in a bottle of Cognac with a chaser of coca-leaf powder in this vibrant, fast-paced chase through the Caribbean.
