Taking Angels by C.S. Yelle
(The Angel Crusades #1)
Publication date: March 26th 2013
Genres: Paranormal, Young Adult

 Book 1 in The Angel Crusades Series by CS Yelle

Britt Anderson went along with everything the doctors said for nearly four years, but she was still dying at eighteen. The cancer had won leaving her without a future, without any options, and without control. No control, except for how she would leave this world. As Britt tries to end her life by going into the frigid waters she realizes her mistake. She struggles to get back to shore, to cry out for help, but her atrophied muscles are useless and the frigid water steals the breath from her chemo-scarred lungs. Despite her father’s attempts to reach her, she flies over the waterfall.

When Allister Parks finds Britt’s fragile body on the riverbank something calls out to him. Ignoring the warnings of his sister, Allister brings Britt back from the edge of death. The only problem is that an Eternal like Allister isn’t allowed to touch those who have already passed from this world. It is forbidden; an infraction punishable by death.

As Britt relishes her new cancer-free life and senior year of high school, her very existence threatens Allister’s place in this world. Allister struggles to keep Britt a secret from the Eternal Council and out of the hands of the only Eternal who already knows the truth: the one who stole her guardian angel.

Essence by A.L. Waddington
(The EVE Series #1)
Published by: Booktrope Publishing
Publication date: January 15th 2014
Genres: Paranormal, Young Adult

 Jocelyn Timmons does not believe she is anything special — just an ordinary high school senior, living an ordinary life full of school-work, volleyball and friends. She’s about to find out how wrong she is.

Jackson Chandler moved in to the house across the street. His dark wavy hair, green eyes and charismatic personality draws everyone to him. Everyone, but Jocelyn.
Whenever Jackson gets near Jocelyn she feels ill and dizzy. When he touches her, she blacks out and has visions of another life, in another time. As the odd hallucinations evolve and become clearer, she feels a strong pull towards the people she sees there. Frightened, she watches her once stable life begin to crumble around her and she begins to question her own sanity.

Could it be possible that these episodes are actually her own memories of a life she is living somehow, somewhere, some-when? Maybe this is time-travel or some other paranormal mysticism? Our minds often wander, but can our souls?

RELEASE DAY BLITZ - Sun Damage by Nikki Rae

I'm excited to be a part of the release day Blitz for Sun Damage!  

Sun Damage is the final book in an epic series. I absolute love The Sunshine Series! Nikki Rae is an amazing author and spins a dark and romantic story with gritty and edgy twists. This is a really great vampire series to get into and definitely not your average tale. I loved every second reading these books and I will most definitely be reading them again in the future. And it is a MUST have for my bookshelf and yours too! You can check out my reviews of Sunshine and Sun Poisoned HERE. My review of Sun Damage can be found HERE.

Title: Sun Damage

Author: Nikki Rae

Release: March 28, 2014

Genre: YA Paranormal Romance

Life wasn't what Sophie was expecting, so why should death be any different? 

She’s come back from swimming between the two, and every problem she left is still there. And then some.
There’s the human world, where she has a brother on the verge of ruins, band mates all set to go on tour, and people she thought she wouldn't be seeing for a long time showing up.

Then there’s her new world, where she’s seeing and hearing things that should not be heard or seen. Where Myles knows more about her than she could have ever guessed. She still doesn't know exactly why Michael is tormenting her, but somehow, everything is connected.

The monsters are closing in on all sides and the question is, will Sophie be able to defeat them before it all ends?

Resistance by Jena Leigh
(The Variant Series #2)
Publication date: February 11th 2014
Genres: Paranormal, Young Adult

 

 

 

Alexandra Parker might be the most powerful Variant the world has ever seen—but even that won’t get her out of finishing her junior year of high school.

The challenge of keeping her abilities under wraps during class is daunting enough, but throw one surly, sandy-haired Jumper into the mix, and things can get downright complicated.

Declan’s new job? Watch over Alex while she’s at school and do everything in his power to keep her from losing control. But as sparks of every kind begin flying between Alex and her new bodyguard, she's left feeling more unstable than ever.

When avoiding her abilities results in a surprise visit from her parents’ killer, Alex’s worlds collide with a bang that nearly levels Bay View High.

With her freedom now squarely in the Agency’s crosshairs, Alex will be faced with the fight of her life... and a decision that could forever alter the course of her destiny.

TUESDAY TEASE - True Fate

Today's Tuesday Tease

is from my first YA Paranormal Fantasy

True Fate

 

Blurb

 

Strange things have always happened to Nia, and until now she’s written them off as flukes. At nineteen she has seen her fair share of odd occurrences and just feels lucky.

When Nia unknowingly spoke a prophecy on her eighteenth birthday she freaked out her best friend, Rhea. Nia realizes she needs to find some answers. Rhea makes her promise to go and see her Great Aunt Amarie, but she isn’t sure if her crazy aunt could really help.

Nia finds herself unexpectedly drawn to a stranger and begins dreaming of people who seem to know everything about her.

They offer little in the way of information as to how and why. It all feels too real but Nia is unsure, at least until she wakes up with a trinket from the encounter.

When dreams and reality collide Nia will have to face dangers she never knew existed. Ready or not she will have to discover her True Fate.

Now onto the Tease!

 

"Hello?”

 

"Hey honey," her mom, Margie’s lightly accented voice sang through the car speakers.

 

"Hi mom." Nia said biting her lip.

 

"How is everything going sweetie?" Margie asked.

 

"Great. Is something wrong mom?"

 

"What? No sweetie but your dad said to call you, he said and I quote, he hasn't heard from you in a while and he's worried. You know how he can be." Her mom said in the sweetest way possible.

 

"Sorry about that I have been kind of busy. Umm I'm kind of on a date right now." Nia explained wanting to melt under the seat as Aaron looked at her adoringly but she knew her cheeks were flush.

 

"Oh goodness, sweetheart! That's fantastic! How's it going? Do we know him? Is he cute?" Margie rattled off the string of questions before Nia could stop her.

 

Correction, she no longer wanted to hide, she wanted to die...... right now.

 

"Wow! Umm, mom? It's going great and no you don't know him yet and he is definitely hot.” She looked at him and he smiled. “His name is Aaron and by the way, you're on speaker."

 

“Oh... well... um, I'm sorry honey. And hello Aaron it's nice to sort of meet you. You're welcome at our home anytime." Margie said with a shaky and clearly mortified voice.

 

"Thank you Mrs. De La Garza" Aaron said wincing as he finally chimed in.

 

"Oh please call me Margie." Nia’s mom insisted.

 

"Okay, I'll try but I can’t guarantee it, that’s just how I was raised." He responded politely.

 

Interrupting Nia asked, "Hey, Mom? We’re headed that way. Is Dad there?"

 

"Oh, yes we're having a late dinner. I used the slow cooker. It's been a long day." Margie explained sounding tired.

 

"We can be there in thirty." Nia said feeling dread set in at the prospect of her dad meeting Aaron.

 

"Great! Well then I will see you soon honey! Bye!" Margie sung again as she hung up the phone ending all their awkward misery.

 

'That had to be the most embarrassing conversation in the history of my life.' Nia sent to Aaron because it was easier to think than say.

 

"It's fine really, I thought it was sweet. And I found out some interesting information too.” he said with a huge grin.

 

"Oh yeah, and what was that?” she asked laughing.

 

"You think I'm hot." Aaron said as a wide grin spread across his face.

Review - #RPRC2014 - Salt by Danielle Ellison

 

Penelope is a witch, part of a secret society protecting humans from demon attacks. But when she was a child, a demon killed her parents—and stole her magic. Since then, she’s been pretending to be something she’s not, using her sister’s magic to hide her own loss, to prevent being sent away.

When she’s finally given the chance to join the elite demon-hunting force, Penelope thinks that will finally change. With her sister’s help, she can squeeze through the tests and get access to the information she needs to find "her" demon. To take back what was stolen.

Then she meets Carter. He’s cute, smart, and she can borrow his magic, too. He knows her secret—but he also has one of his own.

Suddenly, Penelope’s impossible quest becomes far more complicated. Because Carter’s not telling her everything, and it’s starting to seem like the demons have their own agenda…and they’re far too interested in her.

Cover Reveal Countdown - True Fate Teasers

True Fate
 Cover Reveal Countdown!

The cover reveal for my first book, True Fate is on the 16th!
I am so very excited to share it with everyone!
Almost as excited as Buddy below...

 

I am doing final edits for True Fate and hoping to get ARCs out after Christmas. This year has been crazy, I have had this blog since August and I started writing in July and I am amazed at the amount of response and support that the writing community has expressed. It's not easy to be both writer and editor not to mention formatter and publicist!
But I am most definitely willing to do what ever it takes to make it happen. I have already begun writing the second book plus two novellas to go with the True Fate series.

 

Keep Reading for more information and excerpt!

Tuesday Teasers - True Fate

 

 

It's almost that time! My Beta Reader copy is just about finished!

 

I am so very excited about this next step towards finishing True Fate book 1!

 

Writing the book was a great experience and editing it has been painful, but deciding when the beta copy is ready has been agonizing! Knowing that other eyes will read my imperfect product is a scary thing. I am re-reading it myself and editing as I go. As a tattoo artist I thought I had learned to walk away and leave a project before overdoing it but I really want this book to be great for my readers.

 

I already have my real cover and I am dying to show it off but that's a no go! Who wants to take all the fun out of my cover reveal?

I am ironing out a few things and trying to figure out how to make the versions I will need for my beta readers but after that I am going to be sending it out. Just the prospect is a nail biter.

 

I am already writing book 2 True Chaos and it's coming along nicely although I wonder what type of word count I should be putting out per day.

 

If you are interested in becoming a beta reader for my True Fate series fill out the form HERE. I would like experienced readers in the YA Paranormal Fantasy genre. I am open to general YA beta readers as well.

 

**This is not to be confused with a read to review or an ARC although all approved beta readers will receive a finished copy of the book once it is available.

 

**Note: This does not guarantee you a spot as a beta reader.

 

 

Now on to the teaser!

REVIEW - Awakening by Smantha Long

REVIEW

Awakening

by

Samantha Long

When Sophie moves to Boston to get away from the people who ridiculed her for her psychic talents, she wants to start fresh. But when a demon attacks her study group at the library, she has no choice but to reveal her abilities to warn the others.

She learns the attacks won't stop until she's dead. To stay alive she joins forces with the other students and a secret society that has battled the demons for centuries.

The last thing she wants to do is be a pawn in the war of good and evil. When her visions start showing events from a past life, she can't ignore the connections it shows. She has no choice but to acknowledge the bonds that tie her to the other students, even if some of them refuse, to have the strength to defeat the demon that hunts them down.

Will she survive long enough to stop the demons from destroying everything and everyone she loves?
