Sucker Literary’s Blog Tour -





Sucker Literary – Volume 2 Blurb

When Alex’s bandmates invite a girl to sing lead, a battle of the sexes becomes a battle over something unexpected. . . A girl tells her friend about hooking up with longtime crush Fred, but his kisses are not what makes that night in his car memorable. . . A therapy session with Doug might just make Jason go insane again. . . Wallflower Aubrey hooks up with Gordon after the cast party, which would be fine if he weren’t the most forbidden fruit of them all…Savannah certainly doesn’t sound like a convict’s name, so maybe hanging out with her isn’t all that dangerous. Miki is committed to getting over Dex, yet she can’t get him off her answering machine—or her doorstep. In between puffs of cigarettes and attempts to smear lipstick on her face, Allie’s grandmother dishes out advice that maybe Allie should take. . . And finally, what’s a girl to do with Satan as both her boss and father? Nine short stories pose the questions we obsess over whether we’re growing up or all grown up: Who should I love? Am I doing the right thing? Is there ever an end to heartbreak? In its second volume, SUCKER continues to showcase the very best emerging talent in young adult literature and give (some of) the answers to Life’s Big Questions along the way.

Immortals Cover Reveal - Ednah Walters

 
Okay everyone, I know a lot of you have been waiting for this since the release of Runes on May 20, 2013.  When I found out that Ednah was doing a second book in this great series, I jumped at the chance to do the cover reveal of Immortals which is book 2 in this great series.  First thoughts I had were awesome more Torin St.  James.  And my second though was, So when does Immortals come out.

Product description of Immortals:

Nothing can stop Raine Cooper when she wants something…

Raine finally knows that her gorgeous neighbor, Torin St. James, is a legend straight out of Norse mythology but that doesn’t stop her from falling hard for him. Torin is crazy about Raine too, breaking the one rule he lives by: Never fall for a mortal. The problem is he no longer remembers her or that she saved him by making a deal with Norns—Norse destiny deities—the same Norns who have now erased his memories of their past together to punish her.

So Raine comes up with a plan...

She will make Torin forget his one rule a second time and fall in love with her all over again. But before Raine can put her plan into action, the Norns return. This time, they demand she protects Eirik Seville, her best friend since childhood, from an evil so dark even the Norns are scared.

But you know what they say about well-laid plans…

Caught between protecting Eirik and convincing the stubborn, cocky Torin St. James that the two of them are meant to be together, Raine's life slowly unravels. Friendships are tested. Enemies become allies. Desperate, Raine makes choices that could not only tear her and Torin further apart, but lead to the destruction of everything and everyone she loves.


Release Date:
August 5th 2013 by Firetrail Publishing

Interview & Giveaway with Katie McGarry * Dare You To *

Today I have a wonderful giveaway for you all with a few questions Katie was wonderful enough to answer on the blog today. One winner will win a copy of Dare you to suppiled by Harlequin Australia. The competition is Au only. Big Thank you to Morey Media for the copy for this giveaway .
 
 
 


Ryan lowers his lips to my ear. "Dance with me, Beth."

"No." I whisper the reply. I hate him and I hate myself for wanting him to touch me again....

"I dare you..."


If anyone knew the truth about Beth Risk's home life, they'd send her mother to jail and seventeen-year-old Beth who knows where. So she protects her mom at all costs. Until the day her uncle swoops in and forces Beth to choose between her mom's freedom and her own happiness. That's how Beth finds herself living with an aunt who doesn't want her and going to a school that doesn't understand her. At all. Except for the one guy who shouldn't get her, but does....

Ryan Stone is the town golden boy, a popular baseball star jock-with secrets he can't tell anyone. Not even the friends he shares everything with, including the constant dares to do crazy things. The craziest? Asking out the Skater girl who couldn't be less interested in him.

But what begins as a dare becomes an intense attraction neither Ryan nor Beth expected. Suddenly, the boy with the flawless image risks his dreams-and his life-for the girl he loves, and the girl who won't let anyone get too close is daring herself to want it all..

Who designed the covers?

 
My publisher designs my covers and I think that they are absolutely amazing! From the colors to the design to the models they choose—I’m in complete and utter awe
 


How many books do you intend to have in this series?

 

Right now I’m finishing up revisions for Isaiah’s story, CRASH INTO YOU, which is scheduled to be released in December 2013. I have a few other characters from the PUSHING THE LIMITS universe who are pulling at me to write them, but for now I’m focusing on Isaiah.


What was the hardest part of writing your books?

 

My characters are often raw and are going through very emotional times in their lives. In order for my characters to have the intensity I’d like them to portray on the page, I have to place myself in their shoes. It’s often a dark place to be and that can be very emotionally draining.




About the author.

KATIE MCGARRY was a teenager during the age of grunge and boy bands and remembers those years as the best and worst of her life. She is a lover of music, happy endings, and reality television, and is a secret University of Kentucky basketball fan.

Katie would love to hear from her readers. Contact her via her website, katielmcgarry.com, follow her on Twitter @KatieMcGarry, or become a fan on Facebook and Goodreads.

Runes
Ednah Walters
Publication date: May 20th 2013
Genre: YA Paranormal Romance


Seventeen-year-old Raine Cooper has enough on her plate dealing with her father’s disappearance, her mother’s erratic behavior and the possibility of her boyfriend relocating. The last thing she needs is Torin St. James—a mysterious new neighbor with a wicked smile and uncanny way of reading her.

Raine is drawn to Torin’s dark sexiness against her better judgment, until he saves her life with weird marks and she realizes he is different. But by healing her, Torin changes something inside Raine. Now she can’t stop thinking about him. Half the time, she’s not sure whether to fall into his arms or run.

Scared, she sets out to find out what Torin is. But the closer she gets to the truth the more she uncovers something sinister about Torin. What Torin is goes back to an ancient mythology and Raine is somehow part of it. Not only is she and her friends in danger, she must choose a side, but the wrong choice will cost Raine her life.

Review




Once again Ednah has upted the bar with this new paranormal romance.

Characters that you will surely swoon over and a fantastic new series that will take off with a bang.

The storyline is original, the plot intriguing, and I was eager to find out what was going to happen at every page turn. A few twists and turns to keep the reader on the edge of there seat.

A solid plot, and a great paced read, I can guarantee for all those who have read Ednah's Ya series, this one will be your very favourite.. ** or is it the mysterious ** neighbour lol.

The characters breathe a life of their own and the story Ednah has crafted, is so well detailed and indepth, I felt like I was right there inside the book.

I have to say yet again I have another book boyfriend to take home ;) and he rides a Harley.. ** fans oneself** I was definelty tripping over my pages with this hotty within the pages lol.

The mythology entwined throughout the read will certainly have you eager to do a little research of your own. As confused as Raine was Im sure this world will appeal and draw you in.

We are left with a little bit of a cliff hanger, jaw open thinking wt ! Really lol - but also giddy moments in the story where you will certainly be swept along.

The writing style is fluently written I found it to be a fast paced story. Runes is a very engaging ya Paranormal romance with likeable characters and strong plot.


The cover is just luscious .
