On to the reveal!

ANOMALY

(Schrodinger's Consortium #1)

by Tonya Kuper

Expected release date: November 4th, 2014

Published by: Entangled Teen

Genre: Young Adult

Format: Paperback, eBook

SUMMARY

What if the world isn't what we think? 
What if reality is really only an illusion? 
What if you were one of the few who could control it?

Yeah, Josie Harper didn't believe it, either, until strange things started happening. When this hot guy tried to kidnap her, shouting about ultimate observers and pushing and consortiums hell-bent on controlling the world… 
Well, that's when things got real. 
Now Josie's got it bad for a boy who weakens her every time he's near and a world of enemies on her tail who want to control her gift, so yeah, she's going to need more than just her wits if she hopes to survive much longer.

Einstein never saw this coming...


MY THOUGHTS

I really love when a cover ties in with its summary so well!
I'm guessing that the lightening behind her has something to do with her 'gift' that everyone wants to control... very intriguing! Love it!

(Late) Cover Reveal, Excerpt and Giveaway: KNIGHT ASSASSIN by Rima Jean (YA)

KNIGHT ASSASSIN

by Rima Jean

Expected release date: March 4th, 2014

Published by: Entangled Teen

Genre: Young Adult - Historical Fantasy

SUMMARY

Seventeen-year-old Zayn has special powers she cannot control — 

powers that others fear and covet. Powers that cause the Templar Knights to burn Zayn’s mother at the stake for witchcraft. 

When a mysterious stranger tempts Zayn to become the first female member of the heretical Assassins, the chance to seek her revenge lures her in. 

She trains to harness her supernatural strength and agility, and then enters the King of Jerusalem's court in disguise with the assignment to assassinate Guy de Molay, her mother’s condemner. 

But once there, she discovers Earic Goodwin, the childhood friend who still holds her heart, among the knights — and his ocean-blue eyes don’t miss a thing. 

Will vengeance be worth the life of the one love she has left?

Exclusive EXCERPT

Earic emerged from behind a rosebush, his eyes glistening at her. He looked misplaced, this broad-shouldered monk-warrior, wandering amid the blooms of an Eastern garden. Even at night, the reds and golds and pinks were vivid and breathtaking. “Is Marguerite well?” he asked immediately, his brow creased with concern.

Zayn frowned as he sat beside her on the bench. “She has been better.”

“Her injury—”

“It is healing well. It’s not her leg that ails her so much.” Zayn looked down into her lap. How would she tell him what Marguerite should be telling him herself? This whole situation was terribly uncomfortable. “Lady Melisende has forbidden her from keeping your company.”

He exhaled, looked down as well. “I thought she might.” Zayn tilted her head to look at his profile. His hair was freshly washed and still damp, dark at the roots and shorter than before. Gone was the baby-faced Fair Boy she remembered; the man beside her had a network of scars on his sun-baked face and neck. His palms were like cracked leather, and the scent of sandalwood mingled with the musk of a man. She was surprised to find that it did not repulse her. In fact, it did quite the opposite. She glanced away.

“She never did approve of our friendship,” he said with a sad smile. “I was not good enough for her daughter. And I don’t disagree—I am not good enough for Marguerite.”

“Oh, stop,” Zayn said impatiently. “Just because you were not born into the right family doesn’t mean you cannot be friends.”

Earic looked at Zayn. “I suppose. But Marguerite is something special.”

Her expression softened. “Yes. I agree.” She hesitated for a moment. “She wanted me to tell you that no matter what, your friendship will endure.”

His smile was like a bolt of lightning in the dark. “Of course it will. Just like ours has.”

Zayn focused straight ahead, her blood beginning to hum. “I don’t know what you mean.”

“Zayn.” His voice was hoarse with emotion, his hand gently brushing against hers. “I know it’s you. I knew it was you the moment I saw you.”

“Your enemy,” she heard herself say, turning to look at him.

His voice was barely a whisper. “God’s bones! What have you become?”

Emotion clogged her throat, made her voice rasp. “Forget you ever met me, Earic. You must forget. I must kill you otherwise.”

“You can try. You won’t succeed.” He moved his hand up her arm, sending sparks throughout her body. “I had intended to visit Monteferrand soon. I wanted…to find you.”

She shook her head, her breath coming quickly now. “Find me? Why? You are a Templar, have you forgotten? And I…I’m not the girl you remember, not even a shadow of her.”

“I follow no one’s law but my own.” His face was illuminated from within. “As for the girl from Rafaniya… She’s here, I can still see her.” He raised his hand to her mouth and touched her lips with his forefinger.

Her every nerve tingled in response, her brain woozy with realization. Was it possible that he had feelings for her? In the blink of an eye, her hand flashed out, seeking his throat. Before she could grasp him, he’d snagged her wrist in his powerful fist. Her other hand lashed out; he stopped it as well. Her body rose in fury, but he rose with her, twisting her forcefully against him. Locking her within his arms, he lowered his head. “I won’t touch you, Zayn, I swear it. Please, control your strength. I don’t want to hurt you.”

The roar abated; her strength retreated like a falling tide. She gasped and slumped against him. How was he so strong? She was surprised how far up she had to look to meet his gaze. “I don’t understand. How…?”

His lips were inches from hers. “Haven’t you realized it yet, Zayn? You and I…”

His breath mingled with hers, intoxicating her. “What?” she managed to whisper.

Rather than answer, he dipped his head just a fraction and touched her mouth with his. The spark his lips ignited was so very different from the one created by her power. A warmth spread throughout her body, turning her muscles to jelly. She felt completely, utterly human in Fair Boy’s arms, and it was too good to be true…

She pulled away abruptly, horrified. “I have to go. I can’t… You must forget about me, Earic. Or else you put your life in danger.” Before he could reply, she turned and hurried away, breathless with fear.

MY THOUGHTS

A girl with a vengeance! The cover is stunning and fits the summary and excerpt beautifully!
I am really looking forward to finding out more about Zayn...

(Late) Guest Post and Giveaway: ALIENATED by Melissa Landers (YA)

The tone is light and humorous, but I explore some deeper themes as well.

What do reviewers have to say?

“The storyline is out of this world and character development paired with authentic voice is superb. Filled with intrigue and suspense, this book will appeal to both sci-fi and contemporary YA fiction fans.” –VOYA

“Interstellar relations heat up in this start to a new romantic science fiction series. Landers [explores] larger social, ecological, and ethical issues in this tense, fast-paced read.” –Booklist

“The perfect blend of sizzling romance, action, and suspense.” –#1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout

“Smart, funny, and epic. I am now awaiting contact from planet L’eihr.” Julie Cross, bestselling author of Tempest.

“Intergalactic exchange students? Yes, please! I fell in love with this story and couldn’t put it down.” Jodi Meadows, author of Incarnate.

If you like hot, swoony science fiction as much as I do, I hope you’ll give ALIENATED a try. It’s now available in stores and online.

ALIENATED

by Melissa Landers

Release date: February 4th, 2014

Published by: Disney Hyperion

Genre: Young Adult

SUMMARY

Two years ago, the aliens made contact. Now Cara Sweeney is going to be sharing a bathroom with one of them. 

Handpicked to host the first-ever L’eihr exchange student, Cara thinks her future is set. Not only does she get a free ride to her dream college, she’ll have inside information about the mysterious L’eihrs that every journalist would kill for. Cara’s blog following is about to skyrocket.

Still, Cara isn’t sure what to think when she meets Aelyx. Humans and L’eihrs have nearly identical DNA, but cold, infuriatingly brilliant Aelyx couldn’t seem more alien. She’s certain about one thing, though: no human boy is this good-looking.

But when Cara's classmates get swept up by anti-L'eihr paranoia, Midtown High School suddenly isn't safe anymore. Threatening notes appear in Cara's locker, and a police officer has to escort her and Aelyx to class. 

Cara finds support in the last person she expected. She realizes that Aelyx isn’t just her only friend; she's fallen hard for him. But Aelyx has been hiding the truth about the purpose of his exchange, and its potentially deadly consequences. Soon Cara will be in for the fight of her life—not just for herself and the boy she loves, but for the future of her planet.

New Cover Reveal: MILAYNA by Michelle K. Pickett (YA)

MILAYNA

by Michelle K. Pickett

Expected release date: December 2nd, 2014

Published by: Spencer Hill Press

Genre: Young Adult - Paranormal, Romance

Format: Paperback, eBook

SUMMARY

From the bestselling author of PODs comes an unforgettable tale of action, intrigue, and following your heart in the midst of betrayal.

It’s hard being good all the time. Everyone needs to be bad once in a while. But for seventeen-year-old Milayna, being good isn’t a choice. It’s a job requirement. And it’s a job she can’t quit. Born a demi-angel, Milayna steps in when danger and demons threaten the people around her, but being half angel isn’t all halos and happiness. Azazel, Hell’s demon, wants Milayna’s power and he’ll do anything to get it. But he only has until her eighteenth birthday, after which she becomes untouchable.

 

With the help of other demi-angels, Milayna thwarts the trouble Azazel sends her way. Fighting with her is Chay. He’s a demi-angel who's sinfully gorgeous and Milayna falls hard. But is Chay her true love...or her nemesis in disguise?

 

Because when she learns of a traitor in her group, there’s no one she can trust…not even the one she loves.

MY THOUGHTS

It's a stunning cover! The colors are pretty! And the vibe is perfect!

I am really looking forward to reading a new angel book!!! 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR - Michelle K. Pickett

I'm a wife, mother, author, reader, although not always in that order. I've been an avid reader since a young child. I began writing for personal enjoyment in college, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in accounting. Why I chose a degree that didn't encourage creativity is a mystery to me.

I'm addicted to Reese's peanut butter cups and eat way too many while I write. I have a weird obsession with hoodies and can't write without wearing one. I hate to cook, but love to watch cooking shows. 

I'm an unabashed romantic and love swoon-worthy happy endings that give me butterflies for days.

Born and raised in Flint, Michigan, I now reside in a small community outside Houston, Texas with my incredibly supportive, not to mention gorgeous, husband, three amazing school-aged children, a 125-pound lap dog, and a cat that thinks she's queen.

I write adult and young adult Sci/Fi, urban fantasy and paranormal romances.

Review: RUN TO YOU #1: FIRST SIGHT by Clara Kensie (YA)

Released today!!! Harlequin Teen's first "digital-first" serial!!!
A "digital-first" serial is a book that is broken into 3 eBook parts where each part is released a week apart from one another. Kind of like watching a soap opera or serial teen show, where the plot just keeps going and going... 

Here is a little bit about part one to the RUN TO YOU series by Clara Kensie...

RUN TO YOU Part One: FIRST SIGHT

by Clara Kensie

Release date: February 1st, 2014

Published by: Harlequin Teen

Genre: Young Adult Romance Thriller

Format: eGalley from publisher for an honest review.

SUMMARY

Part One in the riveting romantic thriller about a family on the run from a deadly past and a first love that will transcend secrets, lies and danger…

Sarah Spencer has a secret: 

her real name is Tessa Carson, and to stay alive, she can tell no one the truth about her psychically gifted family and the danger they are running from. 

As the new girl in the latest of countless schools, she also runs from her attraction to Tristan Walker — after all, she can’t even tell him her real name. 

But Tristan won’t be put off by a few secrets. Not even dangerous ones that might rip Tessa from his arms before they even kiss…

MY REVIEW

Clara Kensie knows how to write an emotional thrilling romantic mystery! It's a good thing that this is a digital book, I believe I would have ripped pages if it was on paper! I couldn't read fast enough, Tessa's story is so deep and personal. You will not be able to put this down and you will definitely be craving to get to parts 2 and 3 right away...

Tessa's whole life is based on lies. But she has no choice. The lies keep her and her paranormal family safe from the bad man. They must flee every time he gets too close. New names, new home, new school... secrets must be kept and the family rules must be obeyed: never be left alone, do not attract attention, do not leave any traces behind. No one can ever know who she is, or her family's powers.
No one.

And then she meets Tristan.

Can Tessa allow herself to trust someone outside of her family? Can she let herself relax and enjoy a little bit of peace that she has finally found in her chaotic world?

This is definitely a story not to be missed!!!
Stay tuned for my next review of part two, Second Glance, to be posted next week!!!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR - Clara Kensie

Clara Kensie grew up near Chicago, reading every book she could find and using her diary to write stories about a girl with psychic powers who solved mysteries. She purposely did not hide her diary, hoping someone would read it and assume she was writing about herself. Since then, she's swapped her diary for a computer and admits her characters are fictional, but otherwise she hasn't changed one bit.

Today Clara is the author of super-romantic psychic thrillers for young adults. RUN TO YOU, the first serialized novel from HarlequinTEEN, begins February 1 2014 with weekly releases. The sequel, also a three-part serial, begins June 1 2014.

Her favorite foods are guacamole and cookie dough. But not together. That would be gross.

This is what I read last month... 

- Leaf by Stephen Michael King (Children); SWEET picture book for all ages! See my review here!

- Disgraced by Ayad Akhtar (Adult); This was an interesting read for me, not my usual since it is a political screenplay. Definitely interesting. But definitely not something that I would pick up again.

- Sneaking Candy by Lisa Burstein (New Adult); HOT! Loved this so much! I already loved her writing style, and seeing this author break free from her serious YA contemps and dive into something so sexy and fun was fabulous! I am really looking forward to her writing more New Adult books.

- Bitter Sweet Love (The Dark Elements #0.5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout (New Adult); There aren't enough words right now - I truly, truly enjoyed this one! Cannot wait to dive into this series!

- Being Sloan Jacobs by Lauren Morrill (YA); This is my first book by Lauren Morrill. It started out a bit slow/boring for me and I almost DNFed it. But I kept going, and am so happy that I did. Truly loved the story and dual point-of-views. I look forward to reading Meant To Be soon.

- City of Bones (Mortal Instruments #1) by Cassandra Clare (YA); Yes, I am one of the very few who has not read this series yet. I saw the movie first (I know!) and really enjoyed it but had so many questions that I caved in and read it - and LOVED it!!! I need more Jace in my life now!!!

I was asked to review - and thank god that I not only said yes! but that they sent me all three parts at once! I don't know what I would have done if I had to wait a week in between parts - the mystery! the suspense! the cliffhangers all over the place! Reviews will be posted soon... 

- The Secret Diamond Sisters by Michelle Madow (YA); I adore Michelle Madow, her writing is perfectly sweet and I had a lot of fun with the Diamond sisters. Review will be up in February as well!

- R is for Rebel (Unruly Royals #4) by Megan Mulry (Adult); I have been following the Unruly Royal series from the beginning - each book, character, everything gets better and better! Just when I think that Megan Mulry can't outdo herself, she does! Review to be posted in a few days... 

- The Unseemly Education of Anne Merchant (The V Trilogy #1) by Joanna Wiebe (YA); This book was a total surprise! It exceeded my expectations! And the book is beautiful! A definite must read. Can't wait to share my review of this one too!
