Bewitched by Mark Harris – Blog Tour

Bewitched.v1.2

Title: Bewitched Rating:  Genre: YA / Urban Fantasy Release Date: March 1, 2013 Publisher: Inkspell Publishing Review: As you know, I’m a huge fan of anything with supernatural elements.

Descension by B.C. Burgess

Descension Cover

I don’t know about you, but I grew up reading those romance books where you didn’t get to the actual romance/resolution until the last chapter.  I remember screaming at the book, “YES, he loves you! Yes she loves you.  You know you’re going to get together so get on with it.”  Did you hate when characters wouldn’t say how they felt as much as I did?  Well, finally Mrs. Burgess has written the book where the guy will actually tell you how he feels. REFRESHING! In Descension, the love story between Layla’s parents and the love between Layla and Quin … Continue reading

Interview with Sherri Hayes, Author of Red Zone

red zone blog banner

   Red Zone is an interesting title for this book. How did you come up with it? Red Zone is a football term. In football, the red zone is the portion of the field from the 20 yard line to the goal. This area is crucial for a team because if they fall apart in the red zone, then they will most likely leave the field with only three points instead of seven. It’s make it or break it for a team. I thought it was the perfect title for a romantic suspense novel involving a professional football player.  Rebecca … Continue reading

The Watcher by Lisa Voisin

The Watcher

Title: The Watcher Rating:  Genre: YA / Supernatural Publisher: Inkspell Publishing Release Date: March 4, 2013 Review: In my quest to find epic YA books, I was thrilled to be asked to review an ARC of The Watcher by Lisa Voisin. Mia reminded me a lot of Schuyler from the Blue Bloods series or  Luce from the Fallen series. As with many other books of this variety, we have semi-quirky, not-so-popular girl that attracts the attention of a super-cute bad-boy with a secret. I loved Mia because she was practical and had real reactions to the oddities happening in her … Continue reading

Troll or Derby by @RedTashBooks

TrollDerby

Title: Troll or Derby Rating:  Genre: YA Fantasy Publisher: Amazon Release Date: June 14, 2012 The final stop of the blog tour! Click the image to buy! Review: From the get-go, I was hooked. I’m a huge sucker for stories that are original and break free from the cookie cutters we’ve grown to know and love. Like Gina Damico, Tash does a great job of implanting humor so that Troll or Derby isn’t just another YA fantasy/romance. The first character we meet is McJagger. Seriously. While roller Deb isn’t your average heroine, she fell a little short for me. There … Continue reading

In love with Naturally, Charlie by @slscottauthor

NC

So, let me tell you about Naturally, Charlie. Or rather, let me tell you my initial thoughts when I started reading it. In Chapter One, I had proclaimed Charlie B as my new best friend. Likeable, funny and sensitive, I wanted to include her on my morning coffee run and sip cocktails with her in Greenwich Village at night. In Chapter Two, I had a schoolgirl crush on Charlie A. Witty, strong-willed and as delicious as hot cakes, I wanted to be the girl he confided in while giggling uncontrollable at his charm and humour. By Chapter Six I was … Continue reading

Giveaway & Review of The Keatyn Chronicals Book One: Stalk Me by Jillian Dodd

  Title: Stalk Me Author: Jillian Dodd Rating:  Genre: YA Publisher:  Bandit Publishing Publication Date: September 2012 Review: This story made me very nolstalgic. Not because my life in high school was so glamorous and I had boys flocking towards me like Keatyn but because Jillian Dodd did an EXCELLENT job of reminding me what it’s like to be in the process of growing up and trying to find yourself in a world of endless possibilities and versions of yourself. Keatyn is a very unique character. She seems like she has it all. Great friends, popularity, a famous mother, the … Continue reading

Stalk Me: Exclusive Cush Interview & Giveaway

StalkMe1Jpg(1)

  Today we sat down with Brandon “Cush” Cushman to get his side of the story. I was very excited for this interview because I’m “Team Cush” all the way. Let’s see what he had to say. It’s widely known that you’ve always been sort of a playboy. Have you ever thought of settling down with anyone other than Keatyn? I crushed on her since I first saw her. Once I got to know her, I crushed even harder. She’s fun to be around. I settled for being her friend. I wish I wouldn’t have. I should have told her … Continue reading

Interview with @CheleaFine author of ANEW!

Anew Cover (Chelsea Fine)

1. How did you come up with the idea of a semi-immortal? I wanted my character, Scarlet, to keep dying and coming back to life, but since she was human (and not half-angel or part-god or anything) I had to make up some new rules. Most semi-immortals are children with one mortal parent and one immortal parent. Not Scarlet. Scarlet is semi-immortal because of a mishap with a hot guy, his immortal blood, and a cursed arrow that pierced her heart five hundred years ago. (Darn those hot, immortal mishaps! They’ll getcha every time.) I wanted Scarlet’s semi-immortal state to … Continue reading
