Well, readers. This is it. Don’t get scared now 😉💀🩸🎃 Bleed V, the fifth and final novel in my slasher series, releases today! 💀Am I the first woman to write a complete slasher book series? I doubt it (but I can’t find anyone else who’s done it, so if you know of any, please share them here because I always like to give credit where it’s due and support my fellow authors). 💀Do readers love the series? - “...a perfect Halloween story and one that will make you nostalgic for all your favorite slasher movies.” -Mallory, Goodreads review - “As a Scream/Halloween fan? Yeah, definitely ATE THIS UP.” -Kim, Goodreads review - “... like reading a movie.” - @mr.dekker.reads - “... I can guarantee you’ll devour this series.” - @honeybee.reads - “This series just keeps getting better—absolutely amazing!” - Rachel, Goodreads - “For me, there are no storytellers as unique and boundary-pushing as O’Brien and no characters so beloved as the ones within these pages.” -bestselling author, Kiersten Modglin - “You feel the tension, fear, anger- and it moves you.” - @kkecreads - “I truly did not know where Emerald was going to take this series through each book, let alone how she would conclude the series, but it was pure PERFECTION!!” - @smalltownbigreads Those completely arbitrarily chosen reviewers seem to (and when I was looking through reviews for this post, I cried with gratitude, so if you’ve left kind words, thank you for making me cry on midnight of my release day). 💀Have I been having the absolute best time dreaming up my own slasher franchise in book form, and an equally amazing time with the readers who’ve taken a chance on it? Absolutely. In celebration, I’ll be posting some of my best memories of my time publishing the series today, so check for that, but for now, with immense gratitude, and without further ado... The survivors thought their nightmare was over. But someone’s been watching and waiting for a chance to become The Skull. And this Halloween, they’ll put on the mask one last time. 💀Read now: https://books2read.com/u/49zxxk

"Scarred" by Sophia Belle 🚨Release date August 27🚨 Kindle unlimited and paperback 🏒 (Blurb) Luna Falling for Cayden Blade was never part of the plan. He’s the top NHL goalie for a reason. Guarded. Untouchable. In complete control of everything around him. But I see the man behind the mask. The man desperate to feel again. The man whose touch feels anything but innocent. But some wounds cut too deep to heal. And falling for a man still haunted by his past may leave us both scarred in the end. Cayden My life is simple—stop pucks, protect my daughter, keep my head down. No emotions. No complications. Then Luna Bennett crashes into my carefully controlled world and makes me crave every dangerous thing I swore I’d never want again. She makes me see beyond the scars I carry. Makes me believe that love after loss might actually exist. But scars like mine never truly fade. And the more my walls begin to crack, the more terrified I become that loving again just might destroy us both. Scarred" by @Sophiabelle Release date August 27   Kindle unlimited and paperback

3 more days until Bleed III releases and it’s been my pleasure to see the amazing early reviews coming in. This was the third one (so very apropos for today) and it’s from @smalltownbigreads TOTALLY blew me away (and if you aren’t following her here, I highly recommend it). Seriously 🥹 I couldn’t have hoped for a better reception for this story (and this series) ❤️

Everything about Jack Turner is pretty swoon-worthy but the way he is with little Andi is probably what takes the cake. 💫Uncle Jack for the win💫 Who can resist a sexy man that loves the kids we love? It gets me every time, in real life and in my books🤣 . . . #bookstagram #authorsofinstagram #newrelease #mayrelease #smalltownromance #fromtheashes #athenabarnim #singleguardianship #menwithkidsaresexy
