Tigers Promise Blog Tour

Synopsis 

Before the curse, there was a promise. 

A prequel to the bestselling Tiger’s Curse series, this much anticipated novella recalls the beginning of Ren and Kishan’s story. Before Kelsey there was a girl, raised by a villain, whose love for a hero changed the course of history.

Trapped under the thumb of her abusive and powerful father Lokesh, Yesubai struggles to keep her own magical abilities secret while evading his dark powers. When Lokesh promises Yesubai to the prince of a neighboring kingdom, she becomes the central pawn in his plot to destroy the ruling family and take power for himself. Yesubai is trapped by her father’s threats and desperate to protect the man she comes to love, but she knows that any decision she makes will have dire consequences. As dark forces gather around her, Yesubai must decide if she’s willing to reveal that somewhere deep within her she has the power to change everything.


REVIEW: Colleen brings us back into the world of our two favorite tigers. But this is the beginning, and it is just heartbreaking. There is plenty of betrayals, first love, friendship and family.

I loved having the back story. Getting to see who the boys were with Yesubai and finally meeting her. Her father is a monster we all know that from the books but to see what he does with his daughter and he is just disgusting. The boys are everything and more in this story that I thought they'd be. It just breaks my heart to have them played against each other, and Yesubai I am on the fence about.

The story pulls you in and makes you fall in love all over again. The laughter and tears are so worth it in this book. And I just can't get enough of these boys and their life before Kelsey. LOVE.

Synopsis

In the year 2051, some people have a second pulse…

Like all who have “the pulse,” Faith Daniels and Dylan Gilmore have telekinetic powers—they can move objects with their minds. But there are five “second pulses” in the worldwho have an even greater power: Almost nothing can harm them. They are virtually indestructible.

Both Faith and Dylan have the second pulse. But the other side has second pulses, too, and they’ve been training for a war that has been brewing their entire lives. As Dylan executes a plan to infiltrate enemy grounds, he’ll have to face his only weakness, and a family secret that will threaten his very existence.

Together, Faith and Dylan are the only hope this world has left, but they must go their separate ways in order to accomplish their plan. Will their love survive?

With richly developed characters and heart-pounding action scenes, the second book in Patrick Carman’s Pulse trilogy continues the electrifying dystopian story of love and revenge.

Wow what a follow up. This book doesn't disappoint, we pick up where we left off. I was so excited about this book and ahhh so in love. Dylan is a beast in this book. He becomes so much more amazing. He is willing to do whatever it takes to protect he states. He gets a bomb dropped on him that will surprise us all. A twist in the plan but no fear he has Faith to keep him grounded. He is going into enemy territory, and he is going to take them all down. It's so hard to not fidget, to not break down and just take out the twins. They are horrible as is their mother. As the plan becomes more and more clear he is more than convinced he can't let this happen but his weakness is keeping him weak. He will triumph and it will be amazing. Faith is just as amazing if not more in this book. She is focused, angry and wanting to take down Clara. That's her focus, which is great to a point. She is sick of waiting around taking Meredith's orders/half truths. When Dylan goes undercover she is following, she will stick to orders because she won't risk him. What is she willing to do for him? Anything is the answer. They become so much more in this book. The twists and turns you can't keep up with. Everything happens in this book so fast, the revelations will make you gasp, the love will make you swoon, and the ending will just push you over the edge wanting the next book immediately. Ah this book had so much going on, and it was all amazing every single page. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Splendor Blog Tour!

Thanks to Elana, Random House and Book Nerd Tours for setting this up!

Splendor, the stunning sequel to Sacred, is a story about changing friendships, family, romance, passion, the study of Kabbalah, and self-discovery.Sometimes the answers we seek aren’t ours to find. . . . 

Scarlett loves her boyfriend, the dashing, mysterious Will Cohen. But now he’s gone east for college, and Scarlett is stuck home on Catalina Island. Senior year should be a breeze, but between dealing with her parents’ separation and her wild best friend, Lily, things are off to a rocky start. And then there’s Gunner. Dangerous, dark, ferociously attractive Gunner. Lily’s potential boyfriend, Gunner . . . 
     Scarlett distracts herself by spending time with her horse and delving into ecstatic mysticism, a way to practice Kabbalah. Through this practice, she hopes to learn to control her emotions, and begin to make sense of her place in the world. But Scarlett’s world is increasingly unrecognizable.
     Are Lily and Scarlett becoming too different to stay friends? Is Will still the love of Scarlett’s life, even though she has feelings for Gunner? Does being in love mean only being attracted to one person? The more Scarlett questions, the fewer answers there seem to be.

Praise for Splendor:

"As in Arnold’s earlier Sacred, teens will gravitate toward Scarlett and her problems. Arnold has painted a very realistic picture of teenage girls and their conflicting emotions. . . . Fans of the first novel will appreciate continuing Scarlett’s story and finding some closure with this sequel. Readers unfamiliar with Sacred will still be able to enjoy Splendor.”—VOYA 

Praise for Sacred:

"Will appeal to many teens, especially fans of the Twilight series."--Booklist"Filled with tension and angst. . . . Readers will be looking for the next installment."--School Library Journal"A poignant novel of loss and grief, but also of hope."--VOYA

Project Cain Blog Tour!

* A special “Thank You” to Geoffrey Girard and Simon & Schuster for making this tour possible.

Synopsis
Fifteen-year-old Jeff Jacobson had never heard of Jeffrey Dahmer, the infamous serial killer who brutally murdered seventeen people more than twenty years ago. But Jeff’s life changes forever when the man he’d thought was his father hands him a government file telling him he was constructed in a laboratory only seven years ago, part of a top-secret government cloning experiment called ‘Project CAIN’. There, he was created entirely from Jeffrey Dahmer’s DNA.

There are others like Jeff—those genetically engineered directly from the most notorious murderers of all time: The Son of Sam, The Boston Strangler, Ted Bundy . . . even other Jeffrey Dahmer clones. Some raised, like Jeff, in caring family environments; others within homes that mimicked the horrific early lives of the men they were created from.

When the most dangerous boys are set free by the geneticist who created them, the summer of killing begins. Worse, these same teens now hold a secret weapon even more dangerous than the terrible evil they carry within. Only Jeff can help track the clones down before it’s too late. But will he catch the ‘monsters’ before becoming one himself?

WICKED MISERY Blog Tour!

SYNOPSIS:

It s all quasi-legal fun until somebody gets framed for murder.

Jessica Moore thrives on misery. Literally. Thanks to a goblin s curse, she gets a magical high from humanity s suffering. A shameful talent like that could bury a girl in guilt, so to atone, she uses her dark power to hunt murderers, rapists and other scumbags until one of them frames her for his crimes.

In desperation, Jessica seeks refuge with the one person she trusts to not turn her in a satyr named Lucen. Like every member of his race, Lucen uses his lusty magic to control Boston s human population, and Jessica isn t immune to his power. But the murder victims belonged to a rival race, and when they discover Lucen is harboring Jessica, dodging the cops becomes the least of her problems.

With only five days to find the real killer, Jessica faces a danger far more serious than the brewing magical war. The danger of succumbing to Lucen s molten seduction.

Warning: Contains a heroine with a lust for misery, creepy murders, and creepier goblins, satyrs so hot you'd sell your soul for one, and scaly sewer rats masquerading as dragons. Who said magic was all sparkles and tiaras?

Review I loved this book. Jessica is a main character who is cursed but is finding the best way to deal with that curse. Until she is framed and meets Lucen who has his own powers.

Jessica's on huge run and now has some kind of protection from Lucen. Buy what happens when protecting her is putting him in the crosshairs? Jessica's funny, smart and totally kickass and I just loved this book for having a little but of everything for everyone in it. She has only five days but a lot can happen in 5 days.

I can't wait to see where this goes next!!!!

Antigoddess Blog Tour

    

Synopsis
The Goddess War begins in Antigoddess, the first installment of the new series by acclaimed author of Anna Dressed in Blood, Kendare Blake.

Old Gods never die…

Or so Athena thought. But then the feathers started sprouting beneath her skin, invading her lungs like a strange cancer, and Hermes showed up with a fever eating away his flesh. So much for living a quiet eternity in perpetual health.

Desperately seeking the cause of their slow, miserable deaths, Athena and Hermes travel the world, gathering allies and discovering enemies both new and old. Their search leads them to Cassandra—an ordinary girl who was once an extraordinary prophetess, protected and loved by a god.

These days, Cassandra doesn’t involve herself in the business of gods—in fact, she doesn’t even know they exist. But she could be the key in a war that is only just beginning.

Because Hera, the queen of the gods, has aligned herself with other of the ancient Olympians, who are killing off rivals in an attempt to prolong their own lives. But these anti-gods have become corrupted in their desperation to survive, horrific caricatures of their former glory. Athena will need every advantage she can get, because immortals don’t just flicker out.

Every one of them dies in their own way. Some choke on feathers. Others become monsters. All of them rage against their last breath.

The Goddess War is about to begin.


Review : love. Love. Love. This book is a mesmerizing take of some of our favorite myths. I love the books about gods as goddesses no two are the same and this is one that comes to life as you read.

I couldn't put this book down. The characters make you fall in love, get mad, frustrated and at times you wan to reach in and either hug or slap one. Cassandra is a character who is amazing. Everything about this book is amazing. I am trying to write this without spoiling this and it is hard! I want to go on ad on and on by I know I will end up spilling something. Just know I was in love and I can't recommend this enough to y'all. Go get it immerse yourself in this amazing world.
