Absolute Zero - Touch of Frost 2 = Lynn Rush & Giveaway


Absolute Zero 
(Touch of Frost #2)
by Lynn Rush
Genre: Upper YA/New Adult Paranormal

Synopsis

Death may be the only way I can live…

The Center is destroyed. Mandy and Georgia have their own place near campus and are ready to start their new lives as college students. All that’s missing is Mandy’s steamy relationship with Zach. His sudden distance and irritability has Mandy wondering…and possibly wandering.

Nate Ashcroft, a beautiful, but mysterious, guy literally falls into Mandy’s life, shattering her already unstable relationship with Zach. When an unknown agency sets its targets on Mandy and 

Georgia, ugly truths of Mandy’s powers, her parents’ deaths and the people she’s chosen to trust send her life into a tailspin.

One only her death can stop.
Excerpt

     "If you don't get me out of here, Georgia, I'm going to accidentally turn the place into an igloo." I jabbed my sister's side with my elbow.
    "That's okay, I'll just melt it, and we'll have a little pool party." Georgia scrunched her forehead, glaring at me. "It's our first college party. Enjoy it, sis."
     I glanced around the sardine-packed house. It reeked of booze and smoke. The music thumped so loud, I thought my eardrums would implode and ooze out of my ears. Sure, my control over my freezing powers and strength and increased, like, a zillion times over the last few weeks, but still...
     And I didn't even know half of these people bumping against me. Then again, we'd just finished freshman orientation, how would I know anyone?
     "Can you believe we got invited to this?" Georgia screamed in my ear, but it was pretty much whispering since the music was so loud.
     "No. Some guy just invited you?"
     "He was handing out flyers. I grabbed one, and he told me to come."
     I tugged her to an empty space near a wall, and we squeezed ourselves between two other chicks scanning the crowd. "And why did we come?"
     "I've never been invited to a party before. High school sucked remember? Zero friends, freaky streaks of color running through our air. Loners."

Release Day - Kyndryd - Angela L Clay & Giveaway


Today I have the release of a very special book written by my best friend.  

This is her debut novel in which  I have followed her over the years, watching her , listening and giving any input I could do to help.  And now today is finally release day !!

Now as a proud best friend I have the priviledge of showing off her book to the world. I have read this book and loved it and  KYNDRYD  as already hit top 100 in the kindle best sellers for Scorcey and Fantasy.. I for one am grinning from top to tail.  

 I hope you love it as much as she loved writing it..







It's not every day you learn you're a Sorcerer.

Kiera Johnson's life is like any normal teenagers; school exams, young love, strong friendships. Only her mother and close friends understand her inner battles. Suffering from repetitive nightmares of her best friend's death, Kiera finds herself wrapped in a depression that sends her close to the edge of sanity.

Until the strange dreams begin. Sights of a foreign world, a presence with a mysterious connection to her mind. Kiera learns of her origins, of a magical link she shares with this new world she never knew existed. Craziest of all is the claim of a hidden power that lays dormant within her; one that is only now surfacing; one she must hide from her friends and family in order to keep them safe.

As if that isn't confusing enough, she develops unforeseen desires towards her friend Damien. With his surfer blonde hair and a body to die for, what could honestly hold her back? Maybe the fact that he is the ex-boyfriend of her recently deceased friend. Struggling with her shame, Kiera finds herself gravitating towards Damien, seeking not only love, but a confidante that she can share her secrets and fears with.

Through a series of attacks Kiera is left vulnerable, her opponent aggressive, unrelenting. What does he want with her, what is she to him? Cornered, with no where to go, Kiera has only one option; to wield the power within her. Is she strong enough to control her new found powers, will they be enough to save her life?
