Happy Release Day to River of Wrath 🖤

Ok let me start by stating how FLAWLESS these covers are for this series! MOOD 👀

In book 2 of the St. Benedict series, we venture further into the malice that IS the Devereaux family. While graves are being dug for the deaths occurring like clockwork, secrets are being dug up on the most famous family to ever exist in St. Benedict 🤫

Just when I thought Book 1 was twisted...this one came in serving heavy doses of the most twisted twizzlers that ever was! She’s giving Twisty from American Horror Story Season 4 HEN 👏🏼 NY 👏🏼 Just when I thought this family was fu**ed in the head, this book somehow made them and their cohorts straight up demented 😵‍💫 The murders were even more vile, the evidence is becoming more scarce, and the murderers are becoming less suspecting. This thrill-ride knows NO bounds 😈

There was so much historical context to the Devereaux family and St. Benedict itself in this one. Book 1 set up the initial plot and introduced us to the present-day characters. Then this book tied-in that same plot with some historical characters and murders that led to so much happening in St. Benedict in the present. It provides such a depth to these characters and the plot that I will willingly dive into 🧜🏼‍♂️ It also just added so many more players to the game that made so much of this unpredictable, which I am here for!

The book does such a fantastic job of creating such an alluring yet CHILLING atmosphere 👻 I love books that are able to completely change your current atmosphere and shape your senses to that of the book’s atmosphere. Sweetie I was all snuggly with candles and wine yet somehow reading this sent me to Slenderman’s damn forest running for my mf life 🧟 But was I upset about it? NO 👏🏼 If I’m reading a thriller, she better give me the creepies and this did just that. Y’all will be happy to know though that I did not spill a drop of this wine running from Slenderdaddy. Would have been a different story with Edward Devereaux though...

Reposted from BOOK REVIEW...

River of Wrath is book 2 of the St. Benedict series by authors Alexandrea Weis and Lucas Astor. Obviously, I have to tiptoe around some details so as not to spoil parts of the first book, River of Ashes. With the second book, we get new POVs from Gage Devereaux (!), a great choice since we finally get to learn more about him and the Devereaux family, and oh boy, there are some skeletons in the Devereaux closet, if not the Bogue Falaya River. We also get chapters from the town's embattled sheriff Kent Davis, who wants to do the right thing but is under Gage's manipulation, and we also get a POV chapters from Gage's wife Elizabeth and of course, Leslie Moore, our main protagonist of the book.

Moore and her thrown together friends of Taylor, Kelly, and Sara ate navigating choppy waters as they grapple with actions from the last book. They also get wrapped up in the arrival of the town's new stranger, Luke Cross, who reminds them of a certain someone yet not entirely. Cross is indeed an interesting character, and as his story unfolds, it opens up all sorts of possibilities for future books in the series.

Murder, family drama, hidden secrets, and supernatural flourishes keep this book compelling as its predecessor; though, Wrath does feel like a transition book to River of Ghosts. That doesn't make Wrath's reveals any less juicy. You're guaranteed to read this one fast.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 out of 5. Fear Nerd says, "Check it out!"

Thank you to for sending me a copy in exchange for my honest review.

Reposted from There is a powerful message behind River of Ashes which was inspired by true events. Alexandrea Weis and Lucas Astor are very heartfelt. I highly recommend you read their author’s notes at the back of the book.

River of Ashes by Alexandrea Weis and Lucas Astor is an intense psychological thriller—at times sinister and suspenseful—with a gripping plot that made this book difficult to put down. This terrifying story seems all to real. It is thrilling and twisted, but also advocates for women by discussing the aftermath sexual assault can have on a victim.

Synopsis:

In Louisiana, students are attending St. Benedict school. Beau Devereaux is a popular football player known for throwing great parties near the river bank and the haunted Abbey. Good looking, wealthy, and well liked in town—nobody knew what this psychopath was thinking and the actions he committed.

With so many twists, turns, heart palpitations, and an unexpected ending you’ll be captivated and horrified at the same time.

Alexandrea Weis and Lucas Astor did an amazing job. I was lucky to win a copy of this book from and . I cannot wait to read the second book in this series, River of Wrath.

River of Wrath
2nd book in the St Benedict Series
By Alexandrea Weis and Lucas Astor


Coming in January…and keep your eyes open for a giveaway on Instagram of the first book, River of Ashes!

5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The St Benedict series focuses on the darker side of human nature. The first book highlights the POV of a very disturbed young man. Now, in the second book, we get to see how his victims are coping with the aftermath of his vile behavior. In St Benedict, some of the victims are coping well and others… 😬 Let’s just say it’s never a good idea to get deeply involved with powerful families, dig up old secrets, attempt a seance, or be too trusting of strangers. It seems that no one taught the kids of St Benedict to keep to themselves—and now we get to follow them through all of their wildly bad decisions. This book will edge you up to what you’ll think is the climax over and over.. but you have no idea what you’re actually in for.

📕🥀🌹Blurb:

Leslie Moore is struggling to get through her last semester at St. Benedict High. Even her relationship with her boyfriend Derek is falling apart. But after receding floodwaters from the Bogue Falaya River expose the bones of a woman, Leslie becomes obsessed with tracking down the killer.

Sightings of an apparition haunting The Abbey send Leslie and her friends back to the scene of the horrors from last Halloween, but no one is prepared for what they find.

After a stranger—the handsome Luke Cross—arrives in town, another girl goes missing and the sheriff suspects the newcomer is hiding something. Leslie believes the Devereaux family is connected to everything going wrong in St. Benedict. She means to uncover the truth, no matter the cost.

Not all secrets can be kept silent…Some eventually find their way home.

RIVER OF ASHES (Vesuvian Media Group) by Alexandrea Weis & Lucas Astor was seen on Times Square, which will be released August 02, 2022. Just look at that gorgeous cover!

📚 SYNOPSIS 📚
SOME TRUTHS ARE BETTER KEPT SECRET. SOME SECRETS ARE BETTER OFF DEAD.
Along the banks of the Bogue Falaya River, sits the abandoned St. Francis Seminary. Beneath a canopy of oaks, blocked from prying eyes, the teens of St. Benedict High gather here on Fridays. The rest of the week belongs to school and family—but weekends belong to the river.
And the river belongs to Beau Devereaux.
The only child of a powerful family, Beau can do no wrong. Star quarterback. Handsome. Charming. The "prince” of St. Benedict is the ultimate catch.
He is also a psychopath.
A dirty family secret buried for years, Beau’s evil grows unchecked. In the shadows of the haunted abbey, he commits unspeakable acts on his victims and ensures their silence with threats and intimidation. Senior year, Beau sets his sights on his girlfriend’s headstrong twin sister, Leslie, who hates him. Everything he wants but cannot have, she will be his ultimate prize.
As the victim toll mounts, it becomes clear that someone must stop Beau Devereaux.
And that someone will pay with their life.

In St. Benedict, Devereaux family secrets threaten to awaken dangerous ghosts in this Southern Gothic
Thriller series filled with mystery, a rising body count, and a chilling pact between unlikely friends.

Wow, A Time for Monsters made BookTrib 's top 25 books from lesser known authors of 2021! I'm blown away.

"While BookTrib gives coverage to well-known authors every week, our charter is to celebrate debut and emerging authors — the many lesser-known talents out there who are master wordsmiths with great stories to tell. Many are self-published, while others have found a home on small, independent presses. But what they all have in common is that they must work harder than the literary household names to find an audience."

A little bit of magic for the Middle Grade reader on your list.

"With great power comes great responsibility." ~Voltaire

I have great power.
That’s what she told me. The old fortune-teller at the school carnival.
I thought I was doing the right thing … with the magic journal she gave me. But nothing could prepare me for what happened next.
Or, for what I unleashed.

At a school carnival, a mysterious fortune-teller gives twelve-year-old Angela Ashby a journal and warns her to use it wisely. Nothing prepares Angela for the journal’s power—when she pours her heart onto its pages her desires come true.

She tests the journal by conjuring a gnome, a unicorn, and a farting fairy and then uses it to stop the school bullies in their tracks. But the unintended consequences alienate her best friend and puts her favorite teacher in danger of losing her job.

After she shares her deepest desire of all—that her parents get back together—her adversary steals the journal, and Angela fears she will use it to bring mayhem to the entire school if she doesn’t get it back.

Happy Holidays from 7th Grade Revolution (https://books2read.com/7thGradeRevolution)

"Combines treasure hunting, quick thinking, Revolutionary-era U.S. history, and teamwork ... reads like a National Treasure and Spy Kids movie combined." ~School Library Journal

WHEN UNEARTHING A NATIONAL TREASURE
BECOMES A NATIONAL INCIDENT
Inspired by True Events

Dennis Alexander: Washington Academy Middle School promises to be another in the long line of boring schools he has been expelled from.

Rhonda Snodgrass: Although trained from childhood in survival tactics, she tries to stay off the radar of the “cool” kids who think she’s weird.

7th grade turns out to be anything but normal when teachers announce the students’ bloodless revolution succeeded and they are now in charge. After conducting a secret-ballot vote on policy, the 7th graders emerge to find the school evacuated and the FBI lurking outside with the task of unearthing a treasure of national importance.

The students’ mission is clear—discover the treasure before the FBI locks down the building. Dennis and Rhonda lead the revolt and must work together to follow century-old clues left by a crazy Revolutionary War buff.

To stay one step ahead of the FBI, they must delve into history and amass an arsenal to defend their school … because this is WAR!
