New Release! Severed (#1, Starwalkers Serial)

Severed (#1, Starwalkers Serial)

Description:

Two sisters with special gifts and an unbreakable bond ... 

Cyena and Tyana were born to powerful parents who are among the ruling class on their planet. Their lives are pampered but isolated, constricted to the city walls in which they were born. 

Fun loving with a rare but powerful mind power, Tyana is accustomed to being treated like a princess and using her influence to get anything she wants – including protecting her sister from the elders and students who look down on her. The opposite of Tyana in most ways, Cyena’s second-class mind skills make others view her as a blemish on the family bloodline. No one but her sister believes in her.

They don’t know that a war is brewing, until it erupts. A class war tears their perfect world a part, leaving them helpless, alone and worse –severed from one another.

Each girl will risk her life to find the other, and each will be challenged to hone her powers in order to survive environments unlike any they’ve ever experienced.

Paranormal Pantry

by Belinda Boring, Julia Crane, L.P. Dover, Lizzy Ford, Mia Fox, Cambria Hebert, Cindy Mezni, Melissa Pearl, Alexia Purdy, Cameo Renae

Published by Evatopia Press

Description:

The Paranormal Pantry is a unique collection of first chapters from your favorite romance authors. Here, you’ll get a “taste” of their most popular books. Following each chapter, the author will give you a peek into their own pantry with a dessert recipe and their reason for choosing it. Some of these recipes are in keeping with the theme of their first chapter, others are simply a family favorite. Regardless of the reason, we hope that they’ll become a long time favorite of yours as well.

Adding to the sweetness of this book is the fact that 75% of proceeds are donated to Get-Lit, a leading nonprofit presenter of literary performance, education, and teen poetry programs. Their goal is to inspire teens to read, thereby leveling the playing field between rich and poor, mainstream and marginalized, and bringing previously unheard voices to the forefront.

The authors of this anthology thank you in advance for doing your part to support this important literacy program.

AUTHOR BIO:

“I used to be a full time teacher (11-13 year olds) then I became a full time mother. During that time I also found my passion for writing. Over the last ten years I have been studying the craft and putting myself out there.

My first trilogy came out in November, 2011. It has been a wild ride swimming in this indie river and I have loved so much of it. I have learned so many amazing things and met so many great people. It has totally solidified the fact I want to be a writer for as long as I possibly can!

I now have five books published and am working on a new YA Fantasy trilogy for 2013. I am having so much fun with it and can't wait to share it with everybody.

I am from New Zealand, but am currently living in China with my husband and two sons. It has been a culture shock, but it's pretty cool living in such a different country.” ~Melissa Pearl

Reveal

By: Brina Courtney

Reveal Summary: 

You think seeing ghosts is weird? Tell me something I don't know.
My childhood best friend Jeremy happens to be a ghost.
My life is a puzzle, and the biggest piece missing has been my dad. Since his disappearance when I was six it's been tough, but Jeremy has been by my side through it all.
But now Jeremy has gone missing too and I feel like I'm never going to get all the answers I've been looking for.
Fate intervenes when Hugh, a real live college beefcake, starts taking an interest in me. He divulges that he also shares my little "gift" of seeing the dead and I know I'm finally getting closer to finding all the pieces.
However, the more the puzzle is completed, the more questions I have.
Senior year is hard enough as it is, but clearly I like a challenge.

If the scientists who made her find out, they’ll erase what remains of who she was.

Kaitlyn finds an unlikely ally in Lucas, a handsome, brilliant scientist who can’t get over the guilt he feels knowing she was once a vibrant, beautiful young woman.

Allison's Nook: Lauren By Julia Crane

Allison's Nook: Lauren By Julia Crane: Lauren by Julia Crane Blurb A girl with a second chance. A boy with a terrible secret. When the truth is revealed, Lauren's world comes ...

"Lauren" Reviewed on Examiner.com!

Lauren: A story of love, loss, betrayal, and loyalty.

Lauren will be my fifth Julia Crane book in less than a month's time. Lauren is a spin-off book from her highly acclaimed "Keegan's Chronicles" books. But don't let that stop you from reading Lauren, because it by all means can also be read as a standalone book.

Julia Crane's work is incredibly engaging and unique. When I read her books, I can always see clear images in my head of the characters, scenery, and even feel the emotions the characters are feeling. Julia Crane has a way to pull you into a book and make you feel like you are watching a movie.

I read Lauren in one sitting, as I did to some of her other books; I could not put it down. Hours later I am still thinking about Lauren because it is that good. I can say it is hands down my favorite book of Crane's, and that is saying something because I have a slight obsession with "Keegan's Chronicles".

Lauren is easy to relate to as a young 17 year old girl going off to college trying to find her place in the world. Lauren has paranormal abilities, but feels insecure about her powers especially around her very magical friends. I hate when reviews give away too much of the story, and I feel like I am about to if I keep writing, so I will just sum it up. Lauren is a story of insecurity, how to fight your way out of it, and come out stronger in the end.

Video: Lauren Teaser Trailer

This book is also about friendship, love, loss, betrayal, and most of all loyalty.

For "Keegan's Chronicles" fans, you will be so delighted with a lot of the characters having a larger role in Lauren. As I said before Lauren can be and, in my eyes is, also a standalone book. I highly recommend reading Lauren because it is one of those books that leaves you thinking and wanting more.

5 STARS!

"No Way Back" (Mia's Way, #1)

Sometimes bad things happen to beautiful people. The wealthy daughter of a high-ranking politician, seventeen year old Mia Abbott-Renou has everything: designer clothes, wealth, spring breaks in Monte Carlo. She lives blissfully unaware of her family’s secrets, until the night she is raped by the son of her father’s greatest political ally. Her father forbids her from going to the police and threatens to throw her out if she does. It’s a critical election year, one that his party might lose, if the public sours on his doting father image when they realize his daughter is an underage lush and party girl. He can’t risk splintering the party in a nasty court battle that’s certain to draw way too much press, even if that means sacrificing his daughter. Mia’s world is shattered twice, once by the men who hurt her, and once by the betrayal of her family. She does what her father says. But the rapists strike again and beat their next victim near death. With the help of her best friend and a couple of unlikely allies, Mia must decide: does she risk losing everything to do what’s right? Or does she turn her back on the truth and preserve the family name? What’s privileged girl to do, when her perfect little world isn’t so perfect anymore?
