Enchanted Revenge

Empyrean Chronicles # 1

By- Theresa M. Jones

Genre- YA Fantasy

 

When seventeen year old Lily finds her parents brutally murdered, leaving her broken and alone, she is determined to bring justice to the fairies responsible. Her quest leads her to infiltrate The Empyrean, the land of the Fae where terrifying creatures lurk in every shadow. But with a political rebellion mounting, bloody battles and foreign enemies stand in her way. Alec, a mysterious and secretive fairy, gradually becomes her guide and dear friend in the unfamiliar world, and restores her faith in love.

 

Disturbing secrets about her parent’s true identity are revealed, causing her to be more involved with the devastating fairy war than she can afford. Her vengeful mission becomes compromised and her growing romance with Alec wavers. She must conquer her fear of the unknown, ignore her grief, and overcome her growing list of enemies if she is to succeed in avenging her parents’ death. Or ever make it out alive.

 

Enchanted Revenge will appeal to fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout and Julie Kagawa.

 

Excerpt

And then he placed his lips in the tiny spot of my neck that his breath was tickling. The sensations exploded behind my eyelids as my eyes rolled back into my head.

Heaven on earth. Paradise. I couldn’t help the whimper that escaped my lips.

I kissed him, no longer able to hold back. No longer wanting to.

He kissed me with all the passion I could have hoped for. I breathed him into me, wanting to remember these sensations forever. He pulled me closer to him, our bodies intertwined. His hand was on my back, holding me firmly against him. His other hand held my face softly, as if I was something he treasured.

This moment…this moment was everything.

Numbers Ignite
by Rebecca Rode
(Numbers Game, #2)
Publication date: January 26th 2016
Genres: Dystopia, Young Adult

Treena and Vance think they’ve pulled out of the numbers game forever. They’re wrong.

After Treena’s disastrous attempt to unite the nation, she has the deaths of hundreds haunting her dreams. Now, with hatred and accusations following her past the border, she’s determined to leave that horrible day behind and find a peaceful, uneventful life with Vance and the settlers. But when she starts seeing mysterious figures hiding in the abandoned cities at night and uncovers a strange desert population, she realizes there’s a danger much greater than NORA to worry about—and she just abandoned her people to their fate.

Vance is a prisoner. Being rejected by the girl he loves and put on trial for betraying his clan are bad enough, but now he’s been framed for a crime he never committed. Their less-than-perfect refuge has become the political game of a madman, and Vance is the only one who can stop it—if he can keep from being executed first.

Treena and Vance are still very much in the game, and this time it will take everything they have to save those they love.

Reawakened Secrets by Mari Denae

(Reawakened #1)

Publication date: October 26th 2015

Genres: New Adult, Romance

 

Synopsis

 

Some secrets should never be kept…

 

Growing up in the servants’ quarters at Haven Hill, Claire Brown was a poor outcast, living in a world of money and privilege. Her only solace was best friend, Alice Sinclair, and secret desire, Jackson Montgomery. Rich and connected, they were perfect in every way and perfect for each other.

 

Still, Claire was foolish enough to fall in love with Jackson, and desperate enough to hide it. When Alice found out, there was a terrible accident that left her in a coma. Jackson disappeared, leaving New Haven without even saying good-bye.

 

Ten years later, Claire has managed to build a life without them. So when Jackson calls out of nowhere to say Alice is awake, Claire’s first thought is Thank God. Her second? I’m screwed. Lusting after Jackson destroyed her. It’s nothing compared to what she’s hiding now.

 

But nothing stays hidden forever.

 

Reawakened Secrets is part one of Jackson and Claire’s story.

 

Part 2, Reawakened Sins and Part 3, Reawakened Seduction will be released early next year.  To be the first to get information on deals, teasers, excerpts, bonus scenes and release dates, connect with the author on Facebook, Twitter, or Goodreads.

Excerpt

 

Jackson stood several feet away, staring out the window next to the only stairwell and elevator on this floor. He was dressed in tailored slacks and a collared shirt, the perfect hue of blue to highlight his turquoise eyes. His hands were in his pockets, and he seemed to be lost in thought.

 

I took advantage of his preoccupation and filled my senses with the sight of him. Jackson had grown into manhood remarkably well. His shirt did nothing to hide the broad, muscled shoulders beneath it. His angular jaw line no longer looked out of place and now sported a few days of stubble. And holy shit, Jackson Montgomery had sex hair, spiked in abandoned disarray. The kind you imagined grabbing while he whispered naughty things in your ear and backed them up by making your entire body shake. And it seemed, I wasn’t alone in my admiration. Two nurses at the other end of the hallway ogled him with obvious appreciation. He was oblivious to us all.

 

Shaken by how fast I’d forgotten my reasons for loathing Jackson Montgomery, my steps faltered. Self-disgust hardened my feelings for him and gave me the courage to keep walking in his direction. Hoping for a quick retreat, I forced myself to move faster toward the elevator.

 

Looking up, his eyes flashed to my face, and his mouth quirked in a familiar smile more aptly described as a smirk. This was an expression I remembered seeing many times. But was he ever this sexy before?

 

Regardless of my resolve, my breath caught in my chest. “Hello, Jackson.” Embarrassed by the slight tremble in my voice, I paused in front of the elevators, keeping a respectable distance between us.

AUTHOR BIO

 

My name is Mari Denae.

 

I am a married mother of three and publishing my first novel is a dream come true. As the nerd that went to bed with a flash light to read the books I swiped from my mom’s room, I have always been an avid book lover. My favorites are hot, alpha male heroes (think Kristen Ashley), suspenseful, romantic thrillers (think Sandra Brown) and poignant, sweet love stories (think Abbi Glines or Colleen Hoover). My plan was always to be a writer of some sort, but somehow real life responsibilities got in the way. Now, I am an accountant with a night time writing obsession.

 

One Saturday afternoon, I took my girls to see the latest teenage movie. Four days later, I had read all four Twilight books. I was inspired by the innocent romance and ‘Edward Cullen’ (don’t judge). Once I found my way to Fifty Shades of Grey, I was a complete goner. All my spare time was spent reading, writing or blogging. After version one million, five hundred and fifty five of my series Reawakened, I’m finally ready to share it and hope that someone enjoys reading the story as much as I have enjoyed writing it. This one’s for my mother. I hope she’s looking down proud because I finally finished what I started.

Excerpt

 

A loud whump-whump-whump echoed through the night sky, and we all spun toward the noise. Martin’s sunglasses slipped off his face and onto the ground. Mary-Anne stumbled backwards, crunching them beneath her feet. A bright light from above sliced through the darkness, and I shielded my eyes as a hot wind kicked up dust all around us and knocked over Mr. Sinclair’s two telescopes. The air hummed with energy.

 

A blinding light enveloped us like a giant glowing eyeball. My knees knocked together. Martin and Mary-Anne clung to each other like a pair of frightened puppies. Grandma Bev leaned into the furious breeze and threw on a pair of enormous pink sunglasses. She grabbed her digital camera from her purse and stuck out her chin defiantly. She snapped pictures of the mysterious bright light. “I know what you have come for and this ends now!” she shouted. “Release all the cats in the city this very moment. There will be no alien consumption of cats if I have anything to say about it!”

Summary from Goodreads

 

Secure in his position as the mighty Prince-warlock’s son, eighteen-year-old Basil is content with his solitary life of study and magic. He has a comfortable set of rooms in his father’s tower, he has his books and scrolls, and he is perfectly happy. Until the Warlockry Council summons him, and their demands sets his whole, safe existence tottering. Scared and unsure, he decides to run, and takes the first ship out of town. On board he meets Yarwan, the handsome midshipman, who awakens feelings he never knew existed.

 

Maud of the M'Brannoe, at nineteen already a mighty Kell warrioress, is about to graduate as a Lioness, a special duty officer answering to her Queen and no one else. The Prince-warlock asks her to fetch a certain boy from a pirate town, who could be double for his son. On their way back, someone sabotages their airship and the two find themselves marooned in an ill-reputed forest. Together, the young lioness and Jurgis the lookalike run for the coast and a ship home, while finding solace in each other’s arms.

 

Then the four young people meet, and Basil learns of a spell that might help him. Only the spell’s creator, the infamous Black Warlock, disappeared nearly a century ago. When the four young people decide to go looking for him, they start on a path leading to an old war and unsolved mysteries that will change the world. Or kill them.

 

A spirited fantasy story of high adventure, sparkling humor and romantic love in an alternate earth setting of tropical islands, pirates, steamships and wyrms, where both magic and early modern technology flourish.

Happy Release Day: Playing With Fire by Sherry D. Ficklin

NANOWRIMO is just around the corner and I know many of you are gearing up to participate. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, you can check it out here: http://nanowrimo.org/

If you ARE participating (or if you’re just writing in general) here is my top ten things to do before you begin a story. It’s my personal tips to creating a solid plot, and most of these are things you should be doing long before you begin your first draft. It’s pre-writing, and it’s a big deal.
 
1. Complete a detailed biography of your protagonist and antagonist.
 
2. List the changes you’re going to inflict on these two characters.
 
3. Start your book when something meaningful happens. This is called the inciting moment. It should be shocking, exciting, and interesting.
 
4. Know your back story but never start with it.
 
5. Create conflict from page one. Your characters need problems and reasons to solve them.
 
6. Show motivation. Great characters want to achieve their goals more than anything and will pursue them at any cost. What are your characters most afraid of losing? Make them fight for it. Desperately. Irrationally.
 
7. Tell a story in scenes. Scenes hold a story together. The number of scenes depends on your chosen genre, and your novel’s length.
 
8. You should have one plot, and one subplot.
 
9. Fiction needs a Dark Night of the Soul. Move your story to the moment when things look impossibly bleak for your protagonist. This is usually a few pages before the end of your book.
 
10. Create an outline. It doesn’t have to be detailed but everything in life works better when you have a plan.
 
So that’s it. Once you’ve got all that locked down, it’s time to begin. I hope this helps and thanks for stopping by my blog tour today!
 
Now, here is your chance to be a HACKER by decoding the third and final part of the #HACKER secret code:

ALL THE WAY TO HEAVEN

By Becky Doughty

 

 

AMAZON / NOOK / KOBO / iBOOKS / SMASHWORDS

 

Anica Tomlin, business major, has just learned that the man she’s been planning her future around, her Global Finance professor, already has a beautiful wife and family. Ani cashes in her graduation gift to herself a little early—a trip to Tuscany—but from the moment she boards the wrong train in Pisa, her plans for solitude and self-indulgence begin to unravel around her.

 

When a bicycle accident thrusts Ani into the skilled hands of the dashing Dr. Cosimo Lazzaro, she reluctantly accepts his invitation to recover in his family’s country villa, perched on a hilltop surrounded by the Lazzaro olive groves. But it’s been a black year for olive growers all over Italy, and generations of tradition are being put to the test like never before.

 

Ani is swept up in the drama of life in Tuscany, the convergence of old and new, and the passions that drive people to pursue the desires of their hearts. Just as Ani begins to get her feet under her again, an unexpected turn of events leaves her doubting the very existence of happily-ever-after, unless she can learn to trust the desires of her own heart.

 

Although All the Way to Heaven is a stand-alone novel, it is the first book in The Fallout Series, a collection of sweet contemporary romances that follow characters featured in the first book.

Fear. Uncertainty. Wonder. Those three things are thrumming through me, pounding in my ears and coating my tongue with acid. All words that escape my mouth are wrong; I can’t explain how it feels to not remember—for chunks of my memory and hours of my night to have been erased. Erased? No… forgotten.

 

How do you forget whether you killed a person or not the night before?

 

Cassie Spencer’s human life is over, and the resulting consequences are flooding in. As she learns to adapt to her new life, pieces of her honorary family are unravelling. Every day is another spent worrying who Ash will take from her next. Though he’s not the only danger she should be concerned about.

 

A man turns up dead. Eaten.

 

The Hunters suspect Ash is behind it—one of his sadistic games. But who is really at fault?

 

And then there’s the mystery illness Cassie contracts, a disease unheard of by both her father and the elders. Can they find her a cure before her condition worsens?

 

Not every hero wears a cape. Some wear gray beanies.
