Give Away and Exclusive Interview with @HeatherHildenbr Author of Dirty Blood
a Rafflecopter giveaway What inspired you to write DIRTY BLOOD? I knew I wanted to do a story about werewolves that was different than anything currently out there. It actually began as a NaNoWriMo project (National Novel Writing Month) in November 2010 and sort of morphed from there. I wrote the first draft, just over 50k words, in that first month. It was a crazy, whirlwind experience and taught me a lot about myself and my writing process to do it. Looking forward to it again this year. If you’ve never heard of it, check it out. They raise money … Continue reading

Terry Green is the second book in the Olivia Lawson Techno-Shaman series. What is a ‘techno-shaman’, you may ask? Good question! I was wondering the same thing when I was introduced to this intriguing concept in the first book, Shaman, Healer, Heretic. In a nutshell, it’s pretty much what you would imagine – a shaman-for-hire who uses technology to enhance her powers while helping people who are experiencing an upset in their spiritual plane. Naturally, it’s … Continue reading

Katana by Cole Gibson
Title: Katana Author: Cole Gibson Genre: YA/Romance/Sci-Fi/Drama Release Date: March 8, 2012 Rating: ★★★★ Review: I like to be completely honest in my reviews and with this book, keeping it honest, completely took me by surprise. I’m not one for the martial arts but with that being said the author did wonders on weaving martial arts, 1500 century Japan and a samurai (FEMALE!!) warrior reincarnated in this book. It was amazing and read it very quickly! I loved how the chapters would refer back to Old Japan then back to current day, giving the reader more information who the past … Continue reading

Wings Of The Wicked (Angelfire #2) by @CAMoulton
Title: Wings of the Wicked (Angelfire #2) Rating: ★★★★ Author: Courtney Allison Moulton Genre: YA/Supernatural/Fantasy/Romance Publisher: Harper Collins / Katherine Tegan Books Release Date: January 31, 2012 Review: This second book in the Angelfire trilogy is dark, romantic and action-packed. It has angels, demons, a love-triangle, and a believable heroine. Some might find Ellie to be a touch whiny and self-centered, but I found her to be quite realistic. I mean, how would YOU react if one day you’re a normal seventeen-year-old girl, and the next day you find out that you’re ‘the Preliator’ and that the fate of the … Continue reading

EVERNEATH by @BrodiAshton
Title: Everneath Rating: Author: Brodi Ashton Genre: YA/Fantasy/Sci-Fi Publisher: Balzer & Bray Release Date: January 24, 2012 Review: I have to admit, when I first found out that this story was based on the Persephone myth, I didn’t know what to think. It seemed like an intriguing premise, though, so I jumped right in, and found myself hooked from the Prologue. Ms. Ashton’s initial chilling account of Everneath, with the ‘feed’ and the Shades, left shivers running down my spine and many unanswered questions. Thankfully, we don’t have to wait long to start piecing the story together, as we begin … Continue reading

Jodi Meadows created a world that I could jump into and explore with Ana through her perspective. The gripping plotline tugged at my heartstrings while the dark suggestive themes left my brain buzzing. The chemistry between the characters had me on the edge of my seat until the end. The idea of a girl being … Continue reading
