After she hears a haunting message about herself, supernatural occurrences begin to confuse her.

Nathan Caswell seems to peer into Paige’s soul, evoking a magnetic energy between them they cannot deny. They’re connected. But he’s no ordinary guy. He tracks dark spirits and becomes alarmed when they set their sights on Paige.

When two power-hungry malevolent beings make demands on her, she realizes then the fate of mankind rest in her hands. Her world quickly turns inside out where the impossible becomes possible, and in the end she’s faced with a life changing decision that will not only alter her existence but the world as she knows it.

Can a deeply troubled teen overcome her own demons in order to fight those lurking about? With the past and present colliding, Paige must make the ultimate mortal choice. Will it be the right one?

*****Kj's Review*****

 I loved this story, it was one of the best paranormal books I have read yet. I loved Paige and Nathan, Carrie and Tree, the way the whole thing was set up and played through. I am not even going to do a small recap of the story. This is a book that needs to be read, to be discovered by the reader. I would like to thank Ms. Ford for giving me her book to read and review, it is definitely on my favorites list. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys paranormal stories, it’s a 5 star book!

Cover Reveal: Haunting Lia by Shannon Eckrich

Death is her destiny. But she has other things in mind....

Lia Starr’s life isn’t a fairytale. It’s a reality overflowing with scary monsters, death, and betrayal—a past she left behind when she entered her new foster home. Now, with a loving family, a sister she’s always craved, and relief from the gruesome corpses that tormented her as a child, she’s finally content. Until a freak accident changes everything.

The monsters are back, and their mission is simple: drag Lia straight to their murky hell. When Aiden, an apparition, appears to Lia, she has hope once again. Because Aiden can cross the veil between the spirit world and the earthly dimension, physically fighting off the monsters and sending them back. With Aiden’s determination to keep her safe and his absorbing blue eyes, Lia can’t help falling in love with him. But who is he, and what does he really want? As Lia and Aiden’s relationship deepens, so does the mystery surrounding him.

Once Lia finds out Aiden has traded his soul to save her, she enters the darker dimension, a dimension where nightmares are reality, ready to kick some serious butt. But surrounded by twenty-eight mutilated monsters and a deranged cult leader intent on bringing his dark world to the surface, isn’t what Lia expects. And even worse, she must face her traumatic past in order to destroy them. If she fails, not only will she lose the guy she loves and face certain death, but she will also risk the one thing she can’t afford to lose: her eternal soul.

Born and raised in Delaware, Shannon Eckrich lives with her husband, two children, and chocolate lab, Chewy, along with her newest addition, Taylor, a spunky little kitty who loves to terrorize her while she’s writing.

Shannon’s second love is the paranormal. Ghosts, angels, vampires, aliens, immortals, it doesn't matter, she’s obsessed with it all, which is why she’s compelled to write stories in the paranormal genre.

Excerpt-

“So, I hope you don’t mind but I invited my new maaan.” I said with a roll of my neck.
He laughed. “Your new man, huh? Which one is it, the cold son of a bitch from the bar or the tattooed freak who stopped by the lounge?”
“Devon, please, please be nice to the new man in my life. No matter how much I love him it will never take away from the love and devotion I have for you,” I ended with a tease.
He threw his napkin across the table at me, and I tried to dodge it while laughing. I failed, and it hit me squarely in the forehead.
“What’s wrong, State, does all that sexing got your reflexes slow?”
“Hell no, just the opposite. All that sex has me as fast and nimble as a kitten. I purr, too.”
“Ewl. That was way too much information for me to know about anything you do.”
“It’s not like I told you what makes me purr.”
“That would be a lot of things, I have discovered.”
Devon’s eyes looked over my head to see who those words belonged to. Even though I knew, I still turned in my seat. I hadn’t heard him walk up, but a smile broke out on my face all the same.
“Hey, no sneaking up on us when I am divulging secrets of our sex life!” I exclaimed as I tilted my face up to meet his quick kiss on my lips.
“We are talking about you here. You are always talking about your sex life, so there are really no secrets left to tell,” Eric said with a smirk.
“This is true,” I conceded. “Devon, this is Ectain Edeck.”

*****Kj's Review*****

 I would seriously love death to know my name if he was anything like Mayne’s man Eric. Casse amazes me with her perception of things, I love the fact that she’s made it personal in this book. Mayne has been so closed off since it seems everyone she loves dies. What she doesn’t know is the why it seems that way, and that just maybe it isn’t as bad as it might have seemed.

 I simply would like more along the same lines as this book, Casse brings her characters to life and I can see them when I close my eyes. I am a huge fan, and I would like to thank Casse for the chance to read and review her book. I am waiting patiently for the chance to read and review more.

Book Info-

Title-Maverick

By-Anna Cruise

Publication Date- May 21, 2013 

Published By- Mission Bay Publishing 

Genre-New Adult

Blurb-

Kellen Handler is in deep.

Ever since he can remember, he’s wanted to be a professional surfer. And he made it, rising to the top of the ranks, traveling the world and riding every break he’s ever dreamed of. His good looks and reputation for living on the edge—both in and out of the water—have made him an international superstar. But when his best friend dies in a tragic accident, Kellen wipes out big time, spiraling so badly that everything he’s worked for starts to disintegrate.

Tour officials scramble to do damage control and demand he work with a public relations company to clean up his bad boy image. It doesn't help that the person assigned to him, Gina Bellori, has her own demons associated with the surfing world. 

Against her better judgement Gina accepts the job and concentrates on repairing Kellen's tattered reputation, despite his protests and despite the pain it causes her. With her past colliding with her present—and Kellen in the thick of it—she begins to realize that some secrets can't stay hidden. 

And suddenly, Kellen Handler is no longer worried about losing his career.

He's more worried about losing his heart.

Book Links: Goodreads*Amazon

*****Kj's Review*****

 When Jay died it seems that Kellen took a nose dive. Oh, he still managed to surf well but when not on his board he was a walking disaster. After a fight in a bar, the powers that be decide to intervene and make Kellen Handler a new man. In comes Gina Bellori to change everything; she does have great ideas but has issues of her own with the surfing world. As they work together they find a magnetism, will it pull them under or will they keep their cool?
  This is the second of Anna Cruise’s books I have read, and came to the same conclusion again; she rocks at storytelling. I was captivated by this story from the get go, got pulled in farther until I became part of the story. Sigh…I want a Kellen too!! Thanks to Ms. Cruise for giving me her book to read and review, I hope to read lots more.

By Angela McPherson

Genres: Young Adult Paranormal Romance

Untold Press www.untoldpress.com 

Word count: 94 000

Pages: 284

Blurb:

When everything else is lost, there is always hope.

While most teens want an epic senior year, Trinity Whitebone hoped for a normal one. Being seventeen was hard enough. Having the emotions of everyone around you in your head made life more than a little difficult. 

Until Blain Heros enrolled.

He screamed hot-god in jeans with just his walk. His intense stare warmed her skin like a thousand suns. Unfortunately, his interest in her seemed to run from blazing to freezing in the span of moments and left her nothing but confused. She could deal with things not being normal, but when life goes from strange to dangerous…

Trinity is the direct descendant of Pandora and fated to rectify the terrors released into the world by her curious ancestor. With powers she didn’t know existed and abilities she never wanted, Trinity tries to walk away from everything her life had become. She thought she could turn her back on her fate, until a band of rogue immortals discover who she is and will do whatever it takes to control her powers. Trinity is left with one decision…Embrace fate or die trying.

Excerpt:

Over an hour into my work out on the elliptical, sweat covered my brow and a few curls had broken free from my elastic band, making them stick to the sides of my face and forehead. When I grabbed a towel to wipe the sweat away, my legs felt wobbly and weak. I bought a bottle of water from a vending machine and headed out.

In the parking lot, I saw the sky had darkened considerably, elongating the shadows. As I walked back to my car I realized the birds in the nearby trees slowly became silent.

Stopping, I scanned the street. Not a single person was out. Even the cool breeze when I left the gym had stilled, almost as though everything had frozen in time.

Without warning, my stomach rolled. Almost instantly I felt nauseous as the familiar dread of darkness surfaced inside of me. The force became so overwhelming I doubled over, gasping for air.

As I focused on breathing, deep guttural laughter echoed in the stillness nearby. My head snapped up, my eyes searching for the man in my dreams. My brain worked in overtime, wondering how my dreams had finally crossed the barrier into reality.

The laughter came again, only closer this time. He wanted me, wanted me to surrender the light of life to dwell in the darkness of death. My panic increased as my heart thundered in my chest. I couldn't think clearly.

A few feet away, a man appeared, though he looked more or less the same age as me. Tall, well built with chestnut hair stopping at the hard angle of his jaw, and his eyes as black as a raven's feather. He didn't look like the same person from my nightmares. Not that it mattered–his presence still terrified me.

His lips twisted into a sinister grin, a mixture of evil and pain so clear I could taste it on my tongue. I tried to ease my panic and think clearly, but just like in my nightmares, I was losing.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Much to my surprise, my voice stayed even.

"You don't know, do you?" He tilted his head to the side, watching me with amusement in his dark eyes. He slowly held a finger in the air and then began making circular movements. The motion created his own personal whirlwind, lifting the hair around his face.

He continued to walk toward me, controlling the wind with his finger. My panic increased; my insides felt like they were being stretched thin, ready to snap in half at any given second.

"What do you want?" This time my voice quivered at the end.

"You have got to be kidding me, right?" He shook his head. "This is easier than I thought it'd be." He must have read the perplexed look on my face because he started laughing–hard. I would've been offended had I not been so freaking scared.

His thoughts and emotions become stronger with each step he took, overpowering my ability to shut off the inner darkness wanting to be set free. I wasn’t sure which way was up or down, left or right, and it didn't matter.

~~Kj's Review~~

  It is hard enough to be seventeen, being a descendant of Pandora’s and hearing voices in your head make it, well, difficult at best. Enter Blain Heros…he can make her hot in seconds, and freeze her out, just as quick, making life even more confusing. Add in assorted other characters, some good, some bad and life is interesting to say the least.

  I really liked this story, I read the book in one sitting. Yep, didn’t want to put it down at all. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this book to anyone, it definitely holds your interest and makes you want more. Very nice debut book Ms. McPherson, can’t wait to see more from you. Thank you for giving me your book to read and review it was a pleasure.

Genre- Paranormal Fiction/Romance

Blurb-
Orphaned at seventeen, Evan O’Fion has a choice: let her loss define her or rise above it and become more than she ever believed she was capable of. The problem? Giving in to the darkness that calls her is just too easy. Add in to the mix the ability to control the elements and travel across space and time, and Evan is pretty sure she’s going to lose it completely. Giving in would be a relief, but Evan is beginning to realize that there are people counting on her and that the mystery of her past is the key to it all.
As Evan struggles to put her party-girl ways behind her, she must learn to control her new abilities and face the fact that everything she thought she knew about herself was a lie. On top of it all, she has to face a new town, new home, new school, and a sexy dangerous guy…or two.
Dealing has never been Evan’s strong suit. How she’s going to handle it all and come out alive, she has no idea, but she’s stronger than ever and she’s not going down without a fight.

~~Kj's Review~~

 When Evan’s parents died she gets sent to her grandmother’s house to live, it seems odd as the woman never seemed interested in her before this. When Evan’s mom died she left Evan a necklace, she didn’t know what it was for but is sure there is something odd about it and herself too. She gets to her grandmothers and finds she has a whole lot of stuff she doesn’t know about and no one is talking, even the cute guy Lex that she shares a “spark” with.
  She runs into the local people soon enough at a function that her grandmother insists she join. Of course there is an evil woman who has an evil daughter…we all know that is going to mean trouble sometime in the future. Evan also starts learning, she is an elemental, can travel through time and space, and who knows what else. All of a sudden life is way more interesting, and leads to Evan learning more.
  I loved this book, was so sad when it ended, want more, more, more!! It is a wonderful book that I would recommend to anyone. I was completely immersed in Evan’s world within the first few paragraphs. I am not really happy that Evan likes alcohol and would play with drugs, but I can hope that she will kick it as she becomes more powerful. Thanks to Crystal Groszek for giving her book to read and review, I am waiting for more from this wonderful author.
