Celebrate the thrills and chills of the season with this unforgettable trip down Scary Street!

This engaging Halloween story appeals to young readers who love scary stories and anyone looking for Halloween books for kids. Parents and kids alike are in for a treat with this Lance Bass book as the *NSYNC star brings his creative flair and love of Halloween to the world of scary stories for kids ages 4 to 8. Trick or Treat on Scary Street is a must-have for families who eagerly anticipate the Halloween season and enjoy sharing in its playful frights together.



Lance Bass, 
best known from his time in the successful music group *NSYNC, can sing, host, act, produce, write, and happily whip up a mean omelet if you ask nicely. With multiple Grammy nominations, two diamond records, more MTV Video Music Awards than you can shake a mic at, and now his first children’s book, Lance is truly thankful for all the different ways he gets to create. Living in Los Angeles with his husband, Michael, and their twins (born on Friday the 13th!), Lance is thrilled to share this treat of a book filled with surprising tricks for his favorite holiday, Halloween!




Roland Garrigue (he/him) is a prolific children’s book illustrator from Paris, France. From kindergarten to today, he has never ceased drawing. As a child he read his favorite books hundreds of times over, and became inspired by the work of Tomi Ungerer, Colin Hawkins, and Quentin Blake. He attended art school in Strasbourg, and became a children’s illustrator himself. He loves to draw fantastic universes and surreal situations, populating his books with characters from all walks of life--monsters, vampires, witches, pirates, aliens, children, and all the strange creatures he can dream up. Roland loves to travel and explore foreign cities and countries, and he hopes his stories can transport his readers to equally exciting places. His illustrations may feature absurd scenarios and bizarre creatures, but at its heart, his work expresses truths and experiences about the world we live in.


Trick or Treat on Scary Street

Written By Lance Bass

Illustrated By Roland Garrigue

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews


Oh if you know me you know I am a HUGE NSYNC fan and Lance Bass was one of my crushes in the group (next to JC). So..when Lance Bass announced he was writing Trick or Treat on Scary Street for his favorite holiday Halloween I just had to read and review it! I am so glad that I did because it was so cute! 


Lance took his readers on a journey throughout Scary Street with the help of some amazing illustrations by Roland Garrigue. These two worked extremely well together to make their story come to life. 


I had to chuckle at the DRAConian diet aspect of the story as I thought that was cute. Oh and I loved at the end there was a big Halloween Disco where everyone was in costume dancing! 


Trick or Treat on Scary Street is perfect for every kid of any age even young at heart like this 48 year old!

Everyone has secrets ...

 

When Ryan’s dying father gives him a sealed shoebox with instructions to open once he’s passed, Ryan can only speculate on what’s inside. The last thing he expects is for his father to shoot himself immediately afterward, or for the shoebox to contain ten thousand dollars cash.

 

But the money isn’t for Ryan; it’s for someone named Jamie Norton. When Ryan learns Jamie is an old friend of the family with a shady past, he looks to his mother for answers.

 

But he isn’t the only one looking.

 

Ryan thought he knew his parents. But the deeper he digs, the more he learns that some families will do whatever it takes to keep their secrets buried—no matter what the cost.

His Last Lie 
Written By Erik Therme 
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Erik Therme, Thecker Books, and Zooloo Book Tours for providing this book so I can bring you this review. 


Erik Therme’s His Last Lie was a creatively written story outside of the box that made for an interesting read. It was fast paced with a lot of ups, downs, twists, turns, etc. 


WOW! Erik you started off this book with heartache and then BAM!! Out of nowhere that tragedy happens! Luckily I was with my Dad at the time and gave him a big hug and told him I loved him! I can’t imagine what Ryan was going through the shock, sadness and pain Ryan was going through!! 


Ryan’s Dad left a shoebox full of money with a note saying to give it to Jamie. The huge mystery of the book was who was Jamie and why was he leaving them all this money? 


I was kinda thrown off by the very strained relationship Ryan had with their Mother. They seemed like strangers. 


The book was good, however it was not my favorite but I will say that he is a good storyteller.

The One That Got Away

What if the one who got away is really the one?

When Stella finds herself back home with a string of disastrous dates under her belt, she's certain she’s hit rock bottom. Until she discovers her mother has signed her up to The Love Hotel: a luxury matchmaking service where a perfect love match is guaranteed! Stella is adamant she'll have nothing to do with this nonsense! But then a match is found faster than she can say 'Not.A.Chance!' So, how bad can two weeks in the scorching Spanish sunshine be?

Very bad, actually. Because when Stella arrives, she’s mortified to learn her date is no perfect stranger. In fact she knows him a little too well. Because Max is the childhood sweetheart who broke her heart, who her heart remembers and who is more gorgeous than ever.

With no refunds, Stella reluctantly decides to stay and enjoy the holiday - all she has to do is keep Max at an arm’s length...right? Easier said than done when Max is impossible to ignore. And as the Love Hotel begins to work its matchmaking magic, Stella can't deny that the sparks still sizzle between them. And maybe, the experts were right afterall...

The One That Got Away

Written By Olivia Spring 

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Olivia Spring, Boldwood Books, and Rachels’s Random Resources for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 


WOWZERS!!! Olivia Spring spices things up in The One That Got Away!! Ohh those naughty scenes she wrote were extremely juicy!! This is a whole new side of Olivia we had not seen before-and I loved it. She has a true gift writing like this and I hope she writes more like this. 


I loved the cover design designed by Rachel Lawson the graphics were fun and represented the book well. 


If you are looking for a fast paced, addictive, fun, sexy, easy read then you need to put this on your tbr list. 


Ohh Olivia you naughty girl you! I was not expecting the book to start out the way it did!! I had an evil smile on my face and a little chuckle as I was reading it! I should mention I was reading this while taking my Dad to a medical appt. So…It was a little awkward. 


The relationship that Stella had with her Mom I felt was so incredibly special. You don’t see many Mother Daughter bonds like this written in books. 


This has a little bit of everything from rom com, second chance romance, hott steamy sex, and a lot of twists and turns nobody saw coming! 


Back in the day I used to love making mix tapes. In this book Stella and Max were asked to make mix tapes for eachother with songs of how they were feeling for eachother during that day. I am a huge fan of 80’s and 90’s and they picked some amazing songs including one of my favorite bands NSYNC!
