Cover Reveal & Giveaway: The Prophecy of Shadows [Elementals 01] by Michelle Madow!

 


When Nicole Cassidy moves from sunny Georgia to gloomy New England, the last thing she expects is to learn that her homeroom is a cover for a secret coven of witches. Even more surprisingly … she’s apparently a witch herself. Despite doubts about her newfound abilities, Nicole is welcomed into this ancient circle of witches and is bedazzled by their powers—and, to her dismay, by Blake—the school’s notorious bad-boy.

Girls who get close to Blake wind up hurt. His girlfriend Danielle will do anything to keep them away, even if she must resort to using dark magic. But the chemistry between Blake and Nicole is undeniable, and despite wanting to protect Nicole from Danielle’s wrath, he finds it impossible to keep his distance.

When the Olympian Comet shoots through the sky for the first time in three thousand years, Nicole, Blake, Danielle, and two others in their homeroom are gifted with mysterious powers. But the comet has another effect—it opens the portal to the prison world that has contained the Titans for centuries. After an ancient monster escapes and attacks Nicole and Blake, it’s up to them and the others to follow the clues from a cryptic prophecy so that they can save their town … and possibly the world.

Promo Event: Reckless Abandon by Jeannine Colette!



Reckless Abandon in Five Words by Jeannine Colette!

Yellow – Each book in the Abandon series will feature a rose of a different color. In this novel, the rose is yellow with red tips. It is symbolic for falling in-love. Reckless Abandon is a love story. It takes you into the hardest parts of falling in-love, beyond the kisses and first night in each other’s arms. It takes you into the soul of trust, choices, betrayal and forgiveness.


Musical – Alexander and Emma have a difficult time expressing their feelings. They do so with music. Whether it is playing an instrument together in a tantric dance of emotion or writing song lyrics to one another in a shared notebook, they use music as a crutch to display their true desires.

Tragic -Reckless Abandon is about reinventing oneself after tragedy. In the prologue, Emma Paige experiences an event that alters her life on three levels – her love life, her family life and her career. Six months later, she is struggling to find her place in the world when the future she planned is no longer the one she will have. Over the course of the novel we watch Emma, as she grows from broken to whole and her reasons for finding the person she truly is.

Trust – We all have trust issues. Some big, some small… but they’re all there. How do you know someone loves you for the person you are rather than the things you have or how you look? How do you know if the person you give yourself to won’t leave you when you least expect it? In Reckless Abandon we experience various levels of giving parts of yourself away to someone and what it takes to fully trust them with your soul.

Beautiful – If not from the cover alone, one step inside the pages, and you will experience the beauty of Capri, Italy through the eyes of Emma Paige. In all of the Abandon series novels, the locations are characters in and of themselves. This novel features Capri, a place near and dear to my heart and New York City – my home.

A heart-wrenching breakup, an accident… a loss.
Stretching out my right hand, I am reminded of the worst year of my life and all the dreams that faded in one awful weekend.
For six months I was numb.
And then I met a man.
An intense, complex, emotion extracting, sinful man.
If there's one thing I notice it’s the piercing gaze he is giving me.
So piercing because of Golden Eyes.
But what my heart doesn’t know…is he here to save me or is he the one who needs saving?

When today's promises become tomorrow's lies, how can you believe in anything . . . or anyone?

Jaynie Cumberland has no idea how to trust again, so she’s given up on trying. Dumped in to the state foster care system at age fourteen, Jaynie spent three years treading water, just trying to get by.

Still, Jaynie always knew she was broken in some way. After all, why did her own mother abandon her? And following a harrowing experience at her first foster home, Jaynie’s worst fears are confirmed, leaving her feeling worthless and shattered.

Now Jaynie counts the days till she turns eighteen and can go out on her own. All she wants is to be free of everyone and everything. But before that can happen, she must make it through the next few months at one final foster home. There Jaynie meets a gorgeous, albeit rough-around-the-edges, boy who is dealing with the repercussions of his own turbulent past.

Flynn O'Neill is immediately taken with this new, fragile girl. He becomes determined to show Jaynie there is more to life than hurt and pain. Unfortunately, this new home they live in, one that promised to be a haven for unwanted kids, is more like a living hell.

So what do you do when you’re trapped and there’s no way out?

What if you fall in love and protecting the other person becomes the most important thing in your life?

What if something unthinkable happens, testing your love, and the stakes are raised higher than ever? Will you come out unscathed? Can today’s promises be kept? Or will they simply become more of tomorrow’s lies?

Tomorrow’s Lies is a beautiful story of an all-consuming love and broken people building a family out of nothing. It's about never giving up, even in the face of adversity.

Cover Reveal & Giveaway: Addiction [Seven Deadly Sins 01] by Shantel Tessier!


 


I’m a sinner with no regrets.
I’m a man with no shame.
I’m a lover with no soul.
What am I?
 
You’re a loner with no friends.
You’re a beggar with no place to go.
You’re a face with no name.
Who are you?
 
It doesn’t really matter what I am or who you are. Everyone has sin in common. But I pride myself on doing it better. Through the eyes of another, I am envied. If they only knew the wrath I have endured. Greed can be a motherfucker, but it is what makes us strive to be better. Lust can make you burn, but without it you would freeze to death. Some of us are a glutton for punishment and want to feel the pain that reminds us we’re still alive rather than overcome by sloth.
The lure of these seven deadly sins is like an addiction. And I intend to indulge in each of these unforgivable sins.
