Seeker of Time Synopsis:
“I cannot guarantee I’ll be the person you want in your life, but I will do everything in my power to be the person you need.”
Elara Dunlin never imagined how much her life would change after moving across the country at the start of her senior year of high school. Who is the mysterious man with the piercing blue eyes who follows her everywhere she goes? Strange events unfold, causing Elara to question her own reality. Her predictable and simple life changes on one cold, fateful night … the night when the elusive blue-eyed man approaches and shares information that turns her world upside down. Eventually, Elara realizes that she must tell her only friend, Cyrus, the truth about the mysterious visitor. Will he believe any of it? The elusive man continues to reveal dark secrets about her troubled past, adding a new dimension to their growing relationship. Is she willing to place all of her trust in the one person who pushes her physically and emotionally farther than she ever thought possible? He warned Elara that her life would change forever, but does she have the courage to move forward?
Seeker of Time is the first installment in the award-winning Seeker of Time Series. Filled with twists and turns around every corner, this epic adventure leaves the reader on the edge of their seat, longing for more.

In this episode I'm celebrating Black authors, which is perfect if you're looking for a new read! Listen to two reviews and other recommendations I have for you!
What does a bookworm do with their spare time? They READ! Duh... I'm solo on this episode, talking about all the books I binged, life and all the fantasy in between.
Join my sister Kellie and I for this throwback episode of The Reading Riot! From the Berenstain Bears to Twilight, we cover all the bases from elementary school to high school! Trust me, us 90's girls have watched this and read that!
Suffering from writing blocks? Not in a creative mood? We have the cure! Hang out with returning guest Kaylei and I, while we talk writing prompts. That's right! In 500 words or more, we take on four contrasting prompts. Listen in and create your own! I CHALLENGE YOU! DM your submission @thekimriot on Instagram and I'll feature you on this podcast and my page! PROMPTS: 1. The howling winds wake me, and all I see is black. My hands are bound, but I’m able to pull the blindfold from my eyes. In the moonlit room I look with dread seeing the double red doors standing before me—the doors of the haunted manor on Twist Street. 2. The waves rock the ship, but my sea legs are strong. Nothing will throw me off balance on this sea venture. There is treasure on the horizon, and I - Captain Octavia Lane - will be the first one to find it. 3. There I stood, in the dark. The only light peering at me through the small opening at the bottom of the door. I flipped the light switch CLICK, but the light wouldn’t turn on. I strode further into the room flicking the second light switch. CLICK No, no, the lights are not turning on! 4. She loved sunny days like this. Fresh watermelon cut into pieces and sunbathing by the pool. She closed her eyes enjoying the beams of sunlight that pierced her skin. She liked the way it burned, a brief breeze easing the pain if only for a moment. For the moment was fleeting.
Hang out with Megan and I while we talk all things ACOTAR! Just a warning darlings, this episode is made for those who have read this series.
