-Bestselling Author Sherry D. Ficklin (The Hacker Series)





"Without dreams, what's the point of being awake?"

After a lifetime of fighting cancer, eighteen-year-old Viv Quiroga is dying. But she’s determined to go out on her own terms. Instead of wasting away in a hospital watching her mom worry over their mounting debt, she volunteers for a private research program.

For thirty days she’ll live in a coma as a human lab rat. When her time is up, they turn off the machines and pay off all her medical bills.

It’s supposed to be a one way trip.

Until Viv wakes up and learns what it really means to live.

     


Sarah Negovetich

Sarah Negovetich knows you don't know how to pronounce her name and she's okay with that.

Her first love is Young Adult novels, because at seventeen the world is your oyster. Only oysters are slimy and more than a little salty; it's accurate if not exactly motivational. We should come up with a better cliché.

Sarah divides her time between writing YA books that her husband won’t read and performing on stage at BE Theatre. Her goal in life is to never grow up.

Cursed Hearts By SF Benson Release Day & Review


Title: Cursed Hearts 
Author: SF Benson 
Genre: YA Paranormal Romance 
Cover Design: Funky Book Designs


About Cursed Hearts

One kiss can change lives.

Sixteen-year-old Kelsie Martin wants every girl’s dream—to date and fall in love with the perfect guy. There’s a few things standing in her way. Surging powers that cause her to kill every boy she kisses, and the fact that succubi aren’t supposed to fall in love. She reluctantly accepts her calamitous fate when a new guy, Victor Duquette, enters her life. He’s hot and they have similar interests. Could Victor be the one Kelsie’s been waiting for? One forbidden kiss resurrects a century old curse—drastically changing her life and twisting her idea of happily ever after.
 




Check out an excerpt here.

Review

Vampires. My fascination with them first drew me to paranormal books many years ago, but the more I read, the more I wanted a unique spin. And I'm thrilled to say Cursed Hearts offers that. Succubi were a new paranormal creature to me, and I found myself fascinated. After all, a creature who lives off of passion but is cursed to be without love. 

Add to that a man who believes himself without a soul, and you have a classic paranormal Romeo & Juliet--such potential for tragedy and broken hearts. But you'll have to read it to find out the ending. No spoilers here.

As if they did not face enough, a succubi-vampire union comes with its own curse. Only a once-in-a-lifetime love would be worth facing all of these obstacles. 

I highly recommend you pick up your copy today.

Rating: 4.5 stars

Tala Prophecy Boxed Set: Character Highlight Day 5

Happy Valentine's Day! 

❤️️ I hope something sweet happens in your life today. ❤️️

Today is all about Winona, an important woman in Reagan's life. I'd say exactly who she is, but it's a spoiler if you haven't read the series or read past Chasing Memories, book 1. Suffice it to say, she comes into Reagan's life, and they form an instant bond. A bond that will affect the world and the battle of good versus evil.

Winona was raised in a cave and is super naive to the real world. But she has a heart of gold and will fight with everything she has. Her faith will give Reagan a much-needed source of strength.

Tala Prophecy Boxed Set: Character Highlight Day 4

Happy Monday! It's time to share another character from my Tala Prophecy series.

And don't forget, the complete series will be available as an ebook boxed set this Thursday, 2/17/17. I'll share links and more information later in the week. There's even a trailer coming your way.

Today, you'll get to know Rowan, the man who captures Reagan's heart during her tough transition into a world she doesn't understand. And he has an intimate knowledge of the evil they will face because it's his brother. 

Rowan is a smoldering but sweet romantic interest, and his strength helps Reagan through.

Tala Prophecy Boxed Set Coming : Character Highlights

Each day from now until 2/16, I will highlight a quote from a character in my Tala Prophecy series. If you are wondering why, I have news.

Next Thursday, 2/16, I will publish the boxed set, which will include: Chasing Memories, Chasing Shadows, Chasing Destiny, and Chasing Eternity. All for $3.99.


And it'll be FREE on KU. 

So, today is all about Papa. In my mind, he'd be played by Hugh Jackman in the movie version. Just saying. And he's the rock of the shifter community. 


Stay tuned over the next week to get more character quotes and details about the upcoming release.

Kingdom of Embers by Tricia Copeland Release Day & Review

Title: Kingdom of Embers
Series: Kingdom Journals #1
Author: Tricia Copeland
Genre: YA Paranormal Romance
Release Date: February 7, 2017 

“He wouldn’t understand. He didn’t live in a masked world. In truth, he did. Most beings, pure humans, walked through life believing they were the only type of people that existed.” –Alena


As a creature forbidden by both vampire and witch law, Alena traverses the country with her Vampire Council Chancellor mother in search of an unknown entity. 

Everything changes when Alena finds Hunter. Their bond may be the key to the answers Alena seeks. But her mother introduces her to Theron, an equally handsome and mysterious suitor. Will the truth about his intentions be uncovered before it’s too late? Or will her Mother’s kingdom be reduced to embers?

Find out in Kingdom of Embers!


Praise for Tricia’s paranormal novella Drops of Sunshine


“The way it played with my emotions was incredible, especially for such a short story. It really was magical to read.” – A. B. of 2 One Click Chicks

“… it says a lot about Drops that I really wanted more story.”– Tia Silverthorne Bach, author of The Tala Prophecy Series

Find Drops of Sunshine and all Tricia’s books at www.triciacopeland.com






It's hard to have a fresh spin on vampires, but Kingdom of Embers offers just that. Whatever you think you know about vampire lore, toss it out. Alena is a vampire-witch hybrid, and even she doesn't completely understand those rules, mainly because her mother hasn't shared much yet. 

As Alena searches for answers, she begins to realize how much she has to learn about her role in the Universe. She connects with a childhood friend, who is also more than he originally appeared, and challenges those around her to share the truth ... to trust her with it.

But her journey brings her face-to-face with danger. Kudos to the author for the great balance between developing Alena--allowing the reader to become attached--and creating action and intrigue. It makes for a captivating story.

Rating: 4 stars

Verseborn by PM Hernandez Debuts ... Plus Review


The wait is over! If you are like me and loved Earthborn, Book 1 in the Earthborn series, you will go ga-ga over Verseborn, Book 2, which is available in ebook format on Amazon. If you’re a Kindle Unlimited customer, you can read it for FREE!
And the cover is absolutely stunning!
Addy and Brock are back and this time, they’re headed to Ayezh:
ADELAIDE BECKER has one goal: rescue her father from his enemies and certain death. In a desperate bid to save the father she just met, she puts her faith in the one person she shouldn’t, Daxon Aluxni, an Ayezhni with his own agenda. What she doesn’t anticipate is being drawn to the very people she holds responsible for her father’s capture, her family’s breakup, and the exploitation of Earthborn like her.
BROCK GRIGNI figures Addy will throttle him for disregarding her wishes, but he follows her to Ayezh. While he knows she’s powerful, she isn’t invincible or truly aware of the danger surrounding her, and he wants to be by her side. Used to being as unemotional as any Ayezhni, the strength of his love for Addy surprises him. Unfortunately, along with the good comes the bad, and he struggles with unfamiliar feelings: jealousy, anger, inadequacy, and pain.
Facing almost insurmountable odds, Addy must fight for everything she holds dear. If she fails, not only will she lose Brock and her father, but also the freedom of her fellow Earthborn.
With two planets depending on her, can Addy do what it takes?
Look for the third and final book in the series later this year!

Review
Science fiction hasn't always been my favorite genre because too often characterization gets sacrificed to action. Don't get me wrong, I love action, but it can fall flat if the audience doesn't care about the characters. In Verseborn, and Earthborn before that, we get an in-depth look into Adelaide's motivations and thoughts, so when the action comes, it's even more captivating. We understand why she's willing to risk it all, and we love her for it. 
And getting to know her doesn't preclude amazing edge-of-your-seat action. Book 2 picks right up where book 1 left us, and it never lulls. From page 1, you strap in and take a crazy--and so enjoyable--roller coaster ride.
If you love science fiction, don't delay in picking up your copy. But if you've ever hesitated about the genre, let this book be the reason you learn to love it.

Dark and Deadly Things by Kelly Martin New Release

I'm so excited to share Kelly Martin's new release with all of you. I loved this book ... for its voice, originality, creep factor, and pace. See my review at the bottom, but first, a little information...


WELCOME TO THE DARK.

Blessed (or cursed) with the ability to see ghosts, Elise was a fixture on her dad's reality ghost hunting show, Dark and Deadly Things, until she realized her father faked the evidence just to get ratings.


Now Elise is watching his Halloween special on live TV while eating popcorn next to her ghost of a mother.


Something goes horribly wrong...


Two members of the Halloween special's family are dead. One is missing and Elise's dad is the main suspect. Only Elise knows the truth. Only she saw what really happened to the family before the lights went out.


Elise joins the only surviving member of the murdered family, Abel, to find the thing that destroyed both of their families-- find it and destroy it.


How do you kill a ghost?


Easy, you take on one paranormal case at a time until you figure it out.




AVAILABLE NOW

FREE with KINDLE UNLIMITED

About the Author:

Review

Are you fascinated by ghost shows on television? Wonder how much of it is true freakiness or behind-the-scenes shenanigans and faking?

Then, you will love Dark and Deadly Things. 

Elise is a young woman who grew up in a ghost-hunting family, but for her own reasons, she leaves the family business, although she can't leave behind seeing ghosts thanks to her gift, or curse.

Then, she watches on television as her father and the family he's ghost hunting for are attacked. Her father survives and becomes the number one suspect as the eldest brother seeks out Elise for help.

The journey from there is nothing short of fascinating and ultimately... so creepy. If you read this one at night, be sure to keep a flashlight close by. But beyond the captivating ghosts and edge-of-your-seat storytelling, you'll find yourself rooting for Elise and Abel to find not only answer but their way to each other. 

By the end, you'll be clamoring for book 2. Good thing it comes out 2/26.

A highly recommended 5-star read!

Blurb:

Everything in Porschia Grant’s world was finally normal; the daily routine peppered with moments of happiness, sadness, and monotony. She longs for those moments now, because her entire world has been wrecked, and she didn’t even see it coming.

An evil escaped the underworld, killing someone she loves. It has to die, and she wants to be the one to end it.

But can Porschia live with herself if she takes on the curse she once hated? Will the consequences of her choice crush her?

How will she feel when someone from her past, someone she loved so deeply, enters her life again?
Tage has been guiding his son from the afterlife. He’s always been a part of Seth’s life, even if Porschia didn’t know the extent of his involvement. He’s watched over both of them from afar. Close, but never close enough.

Now they need him, and he’s about to risk everything to show her how much she still means to him.

For some, love never ends and frenzy is forever.

Keep reading for a sneak snippet of one very angry Porschia Grant ...

Surprise lifted her brows.

“I didn’t expect—”

I was in front of her in an instant, backhanding her to the side. She stumbled, grabbing her bleeding lip and staring at me with contempt.

“You didn’t expect me to do what? Protect my family? That was your first mistake.”
She scoffed.

“The second was underestimating me.”
