Cover Reveal: "Origin" by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Today I am excited to participate in the cover reveal of the fourth installment from one of my most favourite series- Jennifer L. Armentrout's "Origin"!

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?

What are your thoughts? It's the tagline that personally did me in!

Cover Reveal and GIVEAWAY: "Mortality" by Kellie Sheridan

Today I am ecstatic to be a part of the cover reveal of "Mortality" by Kellie Sheridan- I recently had the pleasure of meeting Kellie at the Ontario Blog Squad Meet-Up. Some of you may know Kellie as Joan of ARCs over at Spencer Hill and Kellie of ReaWrites. 

Title: "Mortality"
Series: "The Hitchhiker Strain"
Author: Kellie Sheridan
Expected Publication: Spring 2013
Formats: Print, ebook
Mortality on Goodreads

From Goodreads: "After surviving a deadly plague outbreak, sixteen-year-old Savannah thought she had lived through the very worst of human history. There was no way to know that the miracle vaccine would put everyone at risk for a fate worse than un-death. 

Now, two very different kinds of infected walk the Earth, intent on nothing but feeding and destroying what little remains of civilization. When the inoculated are bitten, infection means watching on in silent horror as self-control disappears and the idea of feasting on loved ones becomes increasingly hard to ignore.

Starving and forced to live inside of the abandoned high school, all Savannah wants is the chance to fight back. When a strange boy arrives with a plan to set everything right, she gets her chance. Meeting Cole changes everything. Mere survival will never be enough."

About the Author: I have been in love with stories in all of their forms for as long as I can remember. Admittedly, sometimes that means falling into places like Stars Hollow and Sunnydale, but books have always been my true love. In early 2011 I began writing a book blog in order to share my favorite reads with book lovers. From there, the bookish community encouraged me to stop sitting on my own stories and share them instead. Since then I’ve been madly devouring everything I can about digital publishing, and my first novel, Mortality comes out in the Spring of 2013.

For the past two years I have been mainly obsessed with young adult books, but my favorite stories still come from the adult fantasy genre. As far as I’m concerned, Briggs, Bishop, Vincent and Vaughn are all must reads.

I spent part of my twenties living in Galway, Ireland and swooning after various lilting accents but am now back home in Ontario, Canada. My family includes two Glen of Imaal Terriers and a Green Cheek Conure.

Prizes: A digital ARC of Mortality (any format, sent to winner when ARCs are released), a paperback of As The World Dies by Rhiannon Frater, 2 zombie pins from Custom Curiosities (http://www.etsy.com/shop/CustomCuriosities?ga_search_query=zombie) and The Walking Dead: Days Gone Bye v. 1

Cover Reveal: "Deeper We Fall" by Chelsea Cameron

Today I am excited to be a part of the cover reveal of Chelsea Cameron's "Deeper We Fall"- Chelsea is someone I consider to be one of my close Twitter friends and I'm so proud (*Cough, cough, jealous*) of her success (in case you didn't know she recently sold a 2 book series, the first of which is her "My Favourite Mistake", a novel that I recently read and enjoyed, to Harlequin)! Expect great things (including this book) from her, peeps!

From Goodreads: "Two years after her best friend was involved in a car accident that caused a traumatic brain injury, Lottie Anders is ready to start her freshman year of college. Ready to move on. Ready to try and forget the night that ripped her life apart.

Her plans come to a screeching halt when not one, but both brothers responsible for the accident end up back in her life again.

Zack is cruel, selfish and constantly rubbing what happened to her friend in Lottie's face.

Zan is different. He listens to her awkward ramblings. His words are few and far between, but when he does speak, she can't help but listen. He loves "To Kill a Mockingbird" as much as she does, and his dark eyes are irresistible.

The trouble is, Zan was the driver in the accident, and now Lottie's discovered he lied to her about what happened that night. She must decide if trusting him again will lead to real forgiveness, or deeper heartache."

"Deeper We Fall" will be available January 12, 2013!

Cover Reveal: "Release" by M.R. Merrick

Today I am excited to be a part of the cover release of fellow Canadian M.R. Merrick's latest novel, "Release", the third book in his "Protector" series, which will be released on December 10th, 2012! 

"After uniting the shifters and calling in reinforcements, Chase has to face his toughest challenge yet: learning to control his emotions. But as tensions rise and his powers grow, controlling his emotions becomes the least of his problems. 

Terrorized by a multi-shifter who is hell-bent on turning him, Chase questions just how far he’s willing to go to stop his father. Meanwhile, Tiki’s virtuous nature has placed him in the middle of Vincent’s past, leaving Chase to oppose a senate of vampires and defend a demon he hates. 

Trying to balance his friends, his enemies, and his inner demons, Chase is left searching for answers about the Mark, his destiny, and where he can find the next soul piece. Stopping Riley is his top priority, but as more obstacles arise, he finds himself doubting all the decisions he’s made - especially regarding Rayna. 

One thing is for certain: Chase has finally realized that he doesn’t know anything. The light doesn’t always quell the darkness, the monsters don’t always stay in the shadows, and the past doesn’t always stay in the past - sometimes, the demons inside are the hardest to fight."

Cover Reveal: "Opal" by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Today I am excited to be a part of the cover reveal of "Opal", the third book in Jennifer L. Armentrout's (and one of my most favourite) series, the "Lux" series. 

"No one is like Daemon Black.

When he set out to prove his feelings for me, he wasn’t fooling around. Doubting him isn’t something I’ll do again, and now that we’ve made it through the rough patches, well... There’s a lot of spontaneous combustion going on.

But even he can’t protect his family from the danger of trying to free those they love.

After everything, I’m no longer the same Katy. I’m different... And I’m not sure what that will mean in the end. When each step we take in discovering the truth puts us in the path of the secret organization responsible for torturing and testing hybrids, the more I realize there is no end to what I’m capable of. The death of someone close still lingers, help comes from the most unlikely source, and friends will become the deadliest of enemies, but we won’t turn back. Even if the outcome will shatter our worlds forever.

Together we’re stronger... and they know it."

Cover Reveal: "Whisper" by Chelsea Cameron

Today I am excited to be a part of Chelsea Cameron's cover reveal of her latest book, "Whisper". So without further adieu...

 

From Goodreads: "People think I'm crazy. Maybe I am, since I've been able to talk to spirits for as long as I can remember. They are the forgotten, the souls who have unfinished business and can't cross over. I help them, or at least I try to. There's this one in particular, Jack, I call him, who's been following me around a lot. Usually they tell me what they need to do and move on. Not him. 

It isn't until he brings another spirit, Tracy, the victim of an unsolved hit-and-run accident, that I know for sure he's something more than just your average spirit. Then I start seeing him. And feeling his touch. And falling for him. 

In our quest to get justice for Tracy and help her move on, Jack and I become something more than just a dead boy and a living girl. I'm just waiting to see what happens next..."

"Whisper" will be released on June 16th in Ebook and later in June in paperback. 

Here's a sneak peek of the first chapter!

You don't look like the kind of girl who would speak to the dead.

“I can't decide if that's meant to be offensive or not.” He was right, though. From my t-shirt which had a picture of the Cookie Monster on it and a caption that read, “Come to the Dark Side, we have cookies,” my holey yoga pants that had never been used for yoga, and my mismatched Christmas socks, to my not-straight-but-not-curly hair blondish hair, I didn't look like the kind of girl who would talk to dead people. I didn't hang out in cemeteries and listen to too much Evanescence and wear a lot of crystals. Not that there was anything wrong with any of those things.

It was not meant to be offensive.

“What was it meant to be?” I pulled my knees up and put my chin on them.

Didn't your mother call you for dinner?

Evasive. There was definitely something different about him. Most spirits were so confused about where they were or if they were dead they didn't know how to be evasive. This guy was something else.

“You sure you don't want anything?”

No. Just visiting. Spirits didn't visit. The only reason they hung around was to accomplish something they'd left undone. So either he didn't want to tell me, or he was just messing with me.

“Well, if you want to stick around, that's your choice, but I'm going to pretend you aren't here.”

Do whatever you want. He was starting to get on my nerves. I walked to the doorway. Once I was through there, I was going to pretend I was normal.

“Okay, I'm going to stop talking to you now.”

Silence.

“Thank you.” I took a step.

You're welcome.

“Ugh, stop it!”

Cover Reveal: "Bite Me" by Lori Strongin

I am excited to share with you the cover of Lori Strongin's latest release "Bite Me"! I will reading and reviewing this shortly- so stay tuned!

“Talbot blamed his mother for the fact he’d spent most of the summer impersonating a nun.”  

So begins Bite Me, a humorous urban fantasy YA novel set at Hedgehill University for Paranormal Creatures. 

In this Animal House meets Christopher Moore-esque story, freshman Talbot Osbourne is under pressure to find a summer job, an affordable apartment, and to not flunk out; otherwise he’ll face the wrath of his werewolf clan back home.  Buddhist, vegetarian vampire Julian St. George has problems, too, but his are more of the being-stalked-by-a-psychotic-slayer type.  After he ousts the intruder from his home, Julian figures that’s the last of that. 

Wrong. 

Talbot and Julian are forced to partner on a class assignment to study humans in their natural habitat.  That is, a strip club.  But while these two co-eds try to live their para-normal lives and pass their classes, the slayer targets both the university and the club, taking out students with any kind of supernatural abilities.  After Julian’s home is destroyed and he’s nearly killed, the vampire and werewolf form an unlikely—and probably unholy—duo to catch the stalker before the psycho slays them.  If they don’t kill each other first, that is. 

Between surviving an apartment with cannibalistic furniture, zombie squirrels, and a strip club where the drinks are scarier than the suspects, Talbot and Julian struggle to catch up to the slayer, who always seems one stake ahead of them. 

Throw in a shapeshifter with ferret envy, a nymphomaniac wizard who makes people’s clothes disappear, and the ghost of a five-year-old with the potty mouth of a sailor, and these boys are in for the summer of their lives.  Or deaths." 

You can find out more about Lori and "Bite Me" HERE.

"Onyx" by Jennifer L. Armentrout Cover Reveal

As you may have seen I posted my review of "Obsidian" by Jennifer L. Armentrout a few weeks ago. This was the first book of Jennifer's that I had read, but it will by no means be my last! I loved basically everything about "Obsidian", though especially Daemon and Katy's relationship (and not your typical relationship at that! More so of an "Are we? Or are we not?" sort of relationship). You can check out my review of it HERE.

FYI: "Obsidian" (Book 1 in the "Lux" series releases December 6th, 2011). 

Therefore (as you can imagine) I am super excited to share with you the cover of the next book in Jennifer's "Lux" series, "Onyx"! 

My thoughts? OMG! Is what I think is happening HAPPENING? Are Katy and Daemon holding hands? If they are holding hands you know what that is going to lead to? Lots of sexytimes like that seen in "Obsidian"!

And here is a sneak peek of the official blurb: 

No one is who they seem. And not everyone will survive the lies…

  

I am not going to lie, the blurb does scare me a bit, but I mean, Katy wouldn't be holding Daemon's hand if she found out he was a super evil alien hellbent on taking over the world, right? ;) 

You can purchase "Obsidian" at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, and the Book Depository.
