Song of Sin
by E.M. Lacey
Sin corrupts but the truth could destroy them all.
The Hasking stone breathes life once more, signaling the Blacktooth pack’s time to complete the Eldritch Trials. The problem is they have no champion and limited time to train one. The Alpha’s choice is simple - send the wolf who caused their dilemma in the first place.
Rel is no champion and barely a werewolf herself. But thanks to her temper, she is forced to take the role. Rel must enter Elderton and face the House of Testing. If she doesn’t, she'll lose the only mother she knows.
The House of Testing is unforgiving and holds no secrets once those doors close. Can Rel handle the truths she discovers about herself? Or the curse she carries that could start a war with a death god.
How will the trials end for Rel and the Blacktooth pack?
A hundred-year curse or war with a god?

My favorite short story was "Heartburn" by E.M. Lacey. Ms. Lacey's writing reminds me of Richard Matheson, the great science fiction/fantasy/horror writer - with Twilight Zone, "The Omega Man" and "I Am Legend" to name a few. The character build up of Ms. Lacey's main character, Anala was superb. The final twist at the end was a great treat for the reader. I highly recommend this book for great writing and entertainment.

Praise & Reviews
Minor Mischief is a gem of a find - a series of five short stories focused on kids and the paranormal. My favorite story is the intro piece, "Home Goin", about a four year old boy who doesn't quite understand that his beloved grandma, Nana Bee, is dead when he attends her funeral at church. So he brings her back. Of course! I think my next favorite is the much sadder story "Pinky Swear", a ghost story of abuse and violence set in the projects. In all of these stories, Lacey is able to showcase the mischievous nature of children, especially when they have supernatural powers. I'm pleased I've discovered this author, and I look forward to reading more of her stories.
‘A gem’

Now this is my type of fantasy story. The mixture of innocence and magical powers takes me back to my younger, Potter days. I would highly recommend this as a good read.
