Cover Alert! Feat. Jennifer Armentrout and Cora Carmack

SO LOADS OF AMAZING covers are being revealed left right and centre nowadays. Today I'm helping to reveal the covers of Origin by Jennifer Armentrout and Finding it by Cora Cormack.

First up is the cover of Origin by Jennifer Armentrout.

This is the 4TH book in the Lux series by Jennifer Armentrout.

Book1 -Obsidian

Book 4


BLURB Might contain SPOILERS for previous books in  the series.

Daemon will do anything to get Katy back.

After the successful but disastrous raid on Mount Weather, he’s facing the impossible. Katy is gone. Taken. Everything becomes about finding her. Taking out anyone who stands in his way? Done. Burning down the whole world to save her? Gladly. Exposing his alien race to the world? With pleasure.

All Katy can do is survive.

Surrounded by enemies, the only way she can come out of this is to adapt. After all, there are sides of Daedalus that don’t seem entirely crazy, but the group’s goals are frightening and the truths they speak even more disturbing. Who are the real bad guys? Daedalus? Mankind? Or the Luxen?

Together, they can face anything. 

But the most dangerous foe has been there all along, and when the truths are exposed and the lies come crumbling down, which side will Daemon and Katy be standing on? 

And will they even be together?

Expected publication: August 27th 2013 by Entangled Publishing
 Amazon 

THIS IS THE FIRST book in the series that will have dual point of view of both Daemon and Katy. I MEAN HOW AWESOME IS THAT?


Next up we have the cover of Finding it . Book #3 in the Losing It series.

So far all books in the series can be read as a standalone.



BLURB:
Most girls would kill to spend months traveling around Europe after college graduation with no responsibility, no parents, and no-limit credit cards. Kelsey Summers is no exception. She's having the time of her life...or that's what she keeps telling herself.

It's a lonely business trying to find out who you are, especially when you're afraid you won't like what you discover. No amount of drinking or dancing can chase away Kelsey's loneliness, but maybe Jackson Hunt can. After a few chance meetings, he convinces her to take a journey of adventure instead of alcohol. With each new city and experience, Kelsey's mind becomes a little clearer and her heart a little less hers. Jackson helps her unravel her own dreams and desires. But the more she learns about herself, the more Kelsey realizes how little she knows about Jackson.

Review: Faking It by Cora Carmack

Faking It (Losing It #2)

 Mackenzie “Max” Miller has a problem. Her parents have arrived in town for a surprise visit, and if they see her dyed hair, tattoos, and piercings, they just might disown her. Even worse, they’re expecting to meet a nice, wholesome boyfriend, not a guy named Mace who has a neck tattoo and plays in a band. All her lies are about to come crashing down around her, but then she meets Cade.

Cade moved to Philadelphia to act and to leave his problems behind in Texas. So far though, he’s kept the problems and had very little opportunity to take the stage. When Max approaches him in a coffee shop with a crazy request to pretend to be her boyfriend, he agrees to play the part. But when Cade plays the role a little too well, they’re forced to keep the ruse going. And the more they fake the relationship, the more real it begins to feel.

My Thoughts:

This book is the second book in the series but can be read as a standalone.

I have a confession to make.I haven't read Losing It. I have it on my kindle and I started reading it but for some reason I just gave up on it. I think it had something to do with the fact that I was just too embarrassed with what had happened with Bliss or maybe it had something to do with the fact that my exams started and I just didn't have the time.

I still haven't read Losing It(Book #1) but after finishing Faking It, I'm seriously considering reading Losing It ASAP.

I've not had so much fun while reading a book for some time now! Faking it is HILARIOUS but it has it's emotional moments as well.I know there have been a string of New Adult novels coming out recently but Faking It stands out because

  •  the book is hilarious in parts
  •  the main male character is NOT a jerk/bad boy/sex crazed maniac
  • the female is a bad-ass with tattoos
  • it deals with issues but not in a preachy manner


Max and Cade seem like polar opposites but they make a great team. I loved the scenes in which Max's parents made an appearance because then the FUN began.

By the time they finished their cups of coffee,my parents would probably be begging to trade and have Cade as their child. ~ From E-ARC

Cade was a character I loved. I think I'm fed up of the "bad boys who treat females like crap  horribly" Cade was a true gentleman and I loved him for that. He didn't try to fake any of his emotions or feelings. He didn't lie and that made me want to give the guy a gold star.

Max's wit and sarcastic demeanor made me fall in love with her.There were some things I wasn't a huge fan of but they were necessary for character growth and development.

Overall, Faking it was fun and emotional at the same time. I'm definitely going to keep my eyes out for the sequel Finding It.


My Rating:

4/5

Great Fun!

Note: I just got an email from US publicist stating that Faking It and Losing It ecopies are available at discount for a limited time.


Faking It $2.99
Losing It $1.99

Blog Tour: Dream Cast for My Sister's Reaper


Today I have the author Dorothy Dreyer talking about her dream cast for her book 
My Sister's Reaper

ABOUT THE BOOK

My Sister's Reaper

by  


Sixteen-year-old Zadie’s first mistake was telling the boy she liked she could bring her dead sister back to life. Her second mistake was actually doing it.

When Zadie accidentally messes with the Reaper’s Rite that should have claimed her sister Mara, things go horribly wrong. Mara isn’t the same anymore—Zadie isn’t even sure she’s completely human, and to top it off, a Reaper is determined to collect Mara’s soul no matter what. Now Zadie must figure out how to defeat her sister’s Reaper, or let Mara die … this time for good


GUEST POST
I don’t know if it’s every author’s dream to have their book made into a movie, but it’s definitely on my bucket list. But whom to cast? Well, I have an idea.

Here is my dream cast for MY SISTER’S REAPER:


Kelli Berglund as Zadie



Douglas Booth as Gavin

Jeremy Sumpter as Chase


Aimee Teergarden as Mara (normal Mara and “zombie” Mara)

Sarah Hyland as Naomi

The harder pick would be an actress to play Lilura. But it would have to be someone awesome at being snarky. The rest would be makeup and costume anyway. ;)





ABOUT DOROTHY DREYER:Dorothy Dreyer has always believed in magic. She loves reading, writing, movies, and spending time with her family and friends. Half-American and half-Filipino, Dorothy lives in Germany with her husband and two children.

Exciting *NEWS* FEAT. Divergent Movie,Jennifer Armentrout,HarperCollins& Samantha Young

So Recently Twitter and the internet has EXPLODED with awesomeness.

So event though I've been Retweeting on Twitter like KRAZZY I decided to make a post filled with these AWESOME developments!

First up...

DIVERGENT MOVIE
Loads of Divergent movie stills have come out! EW has an amazing picture of Tris and Four on the cover.

Can you see the tattoos ?? EEEPPP I heart this pic!

DIVERGENT SHORT STORIES from Four POV


From the author's blog 

Short version: there are going to be Divergent e-shorts!

Four of them!

And they will be about…drumroll, please…

Four! 


(See what I did there?) 


And the first one will be out on September 24th!

Long version: when my publisher approached me hoping that I would be able to write some extra Divergent content from them, I considered a few options for what I might write about, or whose perspective I might choose. Over time it became clear to me that the character I was most interested in exploring further was Four. Two reasons: first, I know his perspective is the one a lot of you are interested in reading (I get asked if I'm going to write anything else from his perspective all the time!), and hey, you're my readers and I like to write things you want to read; second, I was excited by the idea of expanding my own understanding of him, the way I did when I rewrote the knife-throwing scene from his perspective for the Free Four e-short. 

For me, Four has never just been Tris’s love interest or a way for sexual tension to enter the story. He has always been a whole person with a history that affects him (and Tris) in significant ways, and a co-mover of the plot along with Tris. These stories are helping me to delve into his character in a way I never have before, and to build up parts of the world that Tris never experienced due to her limited perspective. Interestingly enough, they also affected the content of Allegiant, giving me more to draw from—awesome, right?

These stories will be longer than Free Four (Four’s retelling of the knife-throwing scene, which was only thirteen pages), and the first one will be out on September 24th. You can learn more official info here, too. And of course, I'll keep you informed of the other stories as information becomes available, too.


I for one, loved Free Four! AND HOW AWESOME IS THIS NEWS!

Don't know what the fuss is about?

Divergent (Divergent #1)
 Blurb:
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself. 
During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles to determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves… or it might destroy her. 

Debut author Veronica Roth bursts onto the literary scene with the first book in the Divergent series—dystopian thrillers filled with electrifying decisions, heartbreaking betrayals, stunning consequences, and unexpected romance.


JENNIFER ARMENTROUT FRIGID News
There’s been a lot of excitement surrounding FRIGID, so Spencer Hill Press has decided to run a special e-book pre-order promotion! They have worked out a deal with the distributor to release FRIGID a full two weeks early — on JULY 15th!!! — if we meet our e-book pre-order goal. EEEEP! That’s right, if you want to be able to read FRIGID in its entirety before its original release date, all you have to do is PRE-ORDER THE E-BOOK.
I’ll be keeping you updated on our goal during the next couple of weeks.

ABOUT FRIGID
Frigid (Frigid #1)
For twenty-one-year-old Sydney, being in love with Kyler isn't anything new. They'd been best friends ever since he pushed her down on the playground and she made him eat a mud pie. Somewhere over the years, she fell for him and fell hard. The big problem with that? Kyler puts the 'man' in man-whore. He's never stayed with a girl longer than a few nights, and with it being their last year in college, Syd doesn't want to risk their friendship by declaring her love. 

Kyler has always put Syd on a pedestal that was too high for him to reach. To him, she's perfect and she's everything. But the feelings he has for her, he's always hidden away or focused on any other female. After all, Kyler will always be the poor boy from the wrong side of tracks, and Syd will always be the one girl he can never have. 

But when they're stranded together at a posh ski resort due to a massive Nor'easter, there's nothing stopping their red-hot feelings for each other from coming to the surface. Can their friendship survive the attraction? Better yet, can they survive at all? Because as the snow falls, someone is stalking them, and this ski trip may be a life-changer in more ways than one.

YOU GUYS NEED TO PRE-ORDER THIS BOOK!!!??!!!! I WANT to get my hands on it so badly for so loooooooooooong!
JLA is really a tease so she put up the first 3 chapters of the book ...


HARPERCOLLINS GOES CRAZY WITH COVER REVEALS!

I'm not exactly a huge fan of this cover because the people look a little weird together.It's like they were photoshopped from two different pictures together. If you look at only one of them it looks great but when you see them together....


THIS HAS TO BE THE PRETTIEST DRESS EVER!! I WANT!



Sequel to Pivot Point.

THERE ARE MANY MORE COVERS THAT HAVE BEEN REVEALED that you can check out here.

There's even a link to read first three chapters of Into The Still Blue here.

I think this post will become too LONG if I keep post all of them!

SAMANTHA YOUNG cover reveal!
One simple lesson in seduction between two friends can turn into so much more… 

Despite her outgoing demeanor, Olivia is painfully insecure around the opposite sex—usually, she can’t get up the nerve to approach guys she’s interested in. But moving to Edinburgh has given her a new start, and, after she develops a crush on a sexy postgrad, she decides it’s time to push past her fears and go after what she wants.

Nate Sawyer is a gorgeous player who never commits, but to his close friends, he’s as loyal as they come. So when Olivia turns to him with her relationship woes, he offers to instruct her in the art of flirting and to help her become more sexually confident.

The friendly education in seduction soon grows into an intense and hot romance. But then Nate’s past and commitment issues rear their ugly heads, and Olivia is left broken-hearted. When Nate realizes he’s made the biggest mistake of his life, he will have to work harder than he ever has before to entice his best friend into falling back in love with him—or he may lose her forever…

EXPECTED PUBLICATION January 7th 2014.

PRE ORDER: Amazon
