It’s time to stock up for summer reading! Friend, sister author, and awesome CP, Cate Masters, currently has her book The Griffin’s Secret on sale for $.99. I loved the combination of myth and modern day in this one. It looks like Night Owl Reviews thought it was very special, too!
~ooOOoo~
In this contemporary re-telling of Grimm’s classic fairy tale The Griffin, two people must risk everything to free themselves from the invisible prisons that keep them from love…
Jackson Grant had it all—the girl he loved, his Harley, and his guitar. Until a tragic accident stole it all away. Now, more than scars and a tattoo remain. Jackson has a secret. Cursed by his dead girlfriend’s mother, he can never fall in love again or his beloved will die. With his heart on lockdown, he keeps to himself—until a roadie gig with Malcontent, the world’s most popular band, entwines his fate with sweet, wounded Layla’s…
Music is what Layla lives for. She has no choice. She’s bound by magic to serve Malcontent, cursed to propel them to stardom with her musical powers. Then Jackson appears and gives her hope that he’s the hero who will save her. A reluctant hero, yet one she can’t resist. But freedom will come at price—and who will pay…?

Thanks, Julie! I am crazy for re-imagined fairy tales. When I stumbled across Grimm’s The Griffin, the wheels started turning in my head and wouldn’t stop until I finished the story, lol.
My TBR pile is out of control, too. But I just bought two more books yesterday. Gotta stock up for summer!
