SUMMARY:A.K. Caggiano's Book Launch - Eclipse of the Crown
DESCRIPTION:For fans of Kimberly Lemming and The Princess Bride – the epic conclusion to AK Caggiano’s Villains & Virtues series. \nCLICK HERE TO RESERVE YOUR SEAT \n\n\n\n\nThe Purple Couch Bookshop is excited to welcome back indie sensation A.K. Caggiano was we celebrate the epic third book in the Villains & Virtues series\, perfect for fans of The Princess Bride\, following a not-so-evil-anymore demon lord and the baroness responsible for his change of heart who finally must confront their feelings for each other. But how can they admit their attraction when the world is ending? \nNothing about Damien Maleficus Bloodthorne’s evil destiny has gone according to plan. The reason? The kindhearted baroness who has somehow managed to entangle herself in his softening heart. But once again amongst his peers at Yvlcon\, the preeminent congregation of the vilest and most unscrupulous villains in existence\, Damien’s moral growth is threatened just when he’s learning to be slightly less evil. Consequently\, Amma finds her own virtue in peril when faced with so much temptation\, namely in the form of a domineering blood mage she can’t—or doesn’t want—to say no to. \nBut a burgeoning romance is doused in the coldest of baths when the Grand Order of Dread commands Damien to once again face the swirling vortex of entropy that’s been hunting them all over the realm. The coming eclipse points to devastation and destruction\, with annihilation impossible to avoid\, prophecy being\, well\, prophecy\, after all. \nBut there’s an entire fortnight before the world is supposed to end\, and surely that’s enough time to find some way around it. . . or at the very least to confess one’s devotion to the other before it all burns down around them. \nTickets are $20.18 per person and include a copy of the special edition paperback\, featuring intricately sprayed edges.

As annoyed as she is that her recently divorced mom just moved them across the country to the tiny\, quirky town of Harlow’s Rest\, Massachusetts\, it could be the fresh start she needs. Until Amity discovers their absolute disaster of a new house is supposedly haunted. \nTheo Hargrave\, amateur ghost hunter and son of the local general contractor\, is a true believer. When he shows up on their property with his EMF reader in hand\, Amity is ready to debunk all his theories. \nBut even Amity can admit their home renovation is doomed. Nothing is going right\, from the paint that refuses to dry to the fixtures that keep coming loose. So Amity and Theo strike a deal—his family’s construction expertise for her help investigating the house’s supernatural secrets. Even scarier than ghosts\, though? Amity’s growing feelings for Theo. \nSamantha Spük: Paranormal Wedding Planner by Aleese Lin: Samantha Spük is your go-to wedding planner\, be it for werewolf\, vampire\, or fae…even if that’s the last thing she would’ve imagined. Samantha “Sabby” Spük has spent her life trying to escape her family’s legacy of supernatural chaos. But then she gets the call: Grandma Rose is gone\, and Sabby has been named executor of her (ahem\, magically binding) will. Now Sabby is stuck in her dreaded hometown of Salem\, Massachusetts\, taking on odd jobs for not-so-human locals—until she can sell the family home. Sabby might pull these weddings off in time to salvage her accounting career…but is she ready to say goodbye to her paranormal one? \nThe Gravewood by Kelly Andrew: The first in a darkly romantic duology that explores disability\, obsession\, and the twisted limits of loyalty. \nShea Parker has lived her entire life in the shadow of the Gravewood\, an impassable forest that’s cut off her town from the rest of the world. With resources limited and supplies scarce\, Shea is forced to carefully ration her hearing aid batteries. When her stash runs out\, she’ll be left in the silence. Desperate\, Shea turns to the only person who can help — Oliver Lysander\, the volatile leader of a vampiric gang that rules the Gravewood. \nThe arrangement between Shea and Lysander starts off simply enough. She gives him her blood. He tracks down batteries. They don’t cross any lines. They don’t make it personal. But when Shea’s best friend is lured into the Gravewood\, her disappearance brings her older brother home from the frontlines. Asher Thorley is willing to do whatever it takes to find his sister\, even if it means holding Shea’s ugliest secrets over her head. For the first time ever\, Shea finds herself leaving home. Swallowed up in the dreamlike dark of the Gravewood and traveling in the company of killers\, it isn’t long before she risks becoming one herself.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Kristyn J. Miller  - Fall Into Place
DESCRIPTION:Kristyn J. Miller’s cozy autumn romance will have you falling for its changing leaves\, hot apple cider\, and unforgettable characters. \n\n\n\n\nThe Purple Couch Bookshop is excited to welcome back Kristyn J. Miller to celebrate the release of her new romance\, Fall Into Place. Kristin will be in conversation with fellow author Betty Cayouette. Tickets are $20.19 per person and include a copy of Fall Into Place. If you would like to have a copy of Betty’s newest book\, I Kissed Her First\, or or a title from either author’s backlist\, please email us at info@purplecouchbookshop.com and we will reserve a copy for you. \nCLICK HERE TO RESERVE YOUR SEAT \nAbout the book: Lenore’s life is falling apart. Propelled home from Manhattan to rural Vermont to spend one final autumn at her family’s historic apple orchard before it’s sold\, Lenore struggles to say goodbye. Not only to French Hill Farm\, but to everything that once inspired her art. Soon enough\, entries in her late grandmother’s journal reignite memories of Lenore’s childhood—and the crush on the groundskeeper’s son she’s since tried to forget. \nCallan’s path has been laid out for him for as long as he can remember: live\, work\, and die in Whitbury\, Vermont. He’s taken over for his father as the groundskeeper at French Hill Farm\, but now that it’s soon to be sold\, his future has turned abruptly uncertain. The last thing he needs is a distraction—like Lenore French showing up out of the blue\, looking even better than he remembered. As his best friend’s little sister\, she’s always been off limits\, and the last time they saw each other\, he blew his chance anyway. \nLenore has long believed that her dreams are too big for the small town she grew up in—the same town Callan believes he can never outrun. But one last autumn together could paint their hometown—and each other—in a brand new light. \nKRISTYN J. MILLER gravitates toward telling stories with lush settings\, upbeat humor\, and complicated\, flawed heroines. Outside of fiction writing\, Kristyn earned her M.A. in history and museum studies at the University of New Hampshire. She spends her free time wandering peat bogs\, antiquing\, and sampling craft beers. After growing up in Southern California\, she moved to rural Maine\, where she lives in an old colonial house with her husband and son. \nBETTY CAYOUETTE is an author\, viral video content creator and cinematographer. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from Brandeis University in only three years\, and currently lives in Salem\, Massachusetts. Betty created @bettysbooklist\, the viral TikTok/Instagram account which is one of the top book recommendation accounts in the world and is featured in outlets such as The Boston Globe\, Euronews\, Fox News\, The London Times and Glamour UK.
