Cover Reveal: Gold by Talia Vance!!!!!

Okay guys....it's here!  The cover for Gold by Talia Vance!!!  Gold is the sequel to Silver which came out last year.  I LOVED Silver so much--Blake and Brianna just swept me away, and I highly recommend it to paranormal ya fans!

And do you want to know a secret?  I got to beta read Gold for Talia, and there are NO WORDS for how amazing it is!  I was captivated from Chapter 1, and even though its been months since I read it, I can still easily remember the parts that took my breath away.  It is a sequel that, I'll go ahead and say it, is even better than the first!  You don't want to miss out on this one!

Want to know more about Blake?  You can read an interview with him here
And be sure to check out my review of Silver here

So....without further ado.....here goes!

 

I love the cover.  Brianna's dress is gorgeous, and I love the backdrop with the cliffs (so many good scenes take place here!).  Plus, I just love the title--and the symbolism behind it! 

 

All I can tell you about this installment is that Brianna goes to Ireland where more truths are revealed about the Bandia.

 

What do you think of the cover?

FAKING IT by Cora Carmack
releases 06/04/2013 from William Morrow Paperbacks

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.

<3 p="">
You don't have to have read LOSING IT to read FAKING IT, but you'll certainly know the characters better if you do.


And there you have it! We hope you're all as excited as we are!!! And if you haven't read LOSING IT.... What are you waiting for?

Cover Reveal and Giveaway: Shadow of the Mark by Leigh Fallon

Hey everyone!  Today is a great day because today we get to reveal Leigh Fallon's cover for Shadow of the Mark, the second book in her Carrier Trilogy.  The cover is absolutely gorgeous, and we know you will love it just as much as we do!!! 

Before we start talking about Leigh and her series and reveal the cover, let me thank Leigh and HarperTeen for allowing us to be a part of this cover reveal. 

*****************************************



I started out life in South Africa. A year later
my parents moved home to Dublin, Ireland. When I was older and realized my
parents had moved me from exotic Durban, to sedate Rathfarnham, Dublin 16, I
was rightly ticked off.

Giving up lions for sheep, I grew up in the foothills of
the Dublin Mountains where I went to a convent school and had to contend with
uniforms, gabardines, and nuns. When not dodging the beady glare of  
the Sisters
of Mercy, I was devouring every book I could get my hands on.

I traveled all over Europe while working in banking and
treasury, but I gave up my calculator in favor of a keyboard and haven?t
stopped writing since. My first book, Carrier of the Mark, was published by
HarperTeen in 2011.

Our home is in Cork in the south of Ireland, but we?re currently on loan
to Massachusetts in the US where I continue to write books about  
magic, ghosts,
and romance, with a bit of Irish flavor.

***************************************************

The Carrier Trilogy

Book 1

Carrier of the Mark

Their love was meant to be.

When Megan Rosenberg moves to Ireland, everything in her life seems to fall into place. After growing up in America, she's surprised to find herself feeling at home in her new school. She connects with a group of friends, and she is instantly drawn to darkly handsome Adam DeRÍs.

But Megan is about to discover that her feelings for Adam are tied to a fate that was sealed long ago—and that the passion and power that brought them together could be their ultimate destruction.

****************************************************

Okay, so reasons why you should read this book if you have not already:

1.) It's set in Ireland--Home of leprechauns, Guinness, and hot boys with accents!

2.) Adam DeRIs--hottie!

3.) The mystery of fate

4.) Gorgeous cover!

*********************************************************

Okay...it's that time!

The Carrier Trilogy Book 2

Shadow of the Mark

Life for Megan Rosenberg just got a lot more complicated.

While she evoked the air element, and her feelings for Adam intensified, a web of lies, deceit, and betrayal was spun around her. With the Order tightening its hold, and the reinstatement of the Mark Knights, Megan has more questions than answers as the Marked Ones grow in strength.

New people arouse suspicion, the DeRises start behaving strangely, and Megan begins to unravel a destiny shrouded in mystery. It’s a destiny the Order has struggled to hide, and a destiny someone from the past… far in the past, has already laid claim to.

Alliances will be made, and friends will be lost, as the Order’s dark secrets are revealed by the very thing they sought to destroy.

About the cover (from Leigh)

I know, there's no mistaking it. This is definitely a Carrier Series  

cover, but that was the intention. After the amazing reception to the
cover of Carrier of the Mark, HarperCollins wanted Shadow's cover to  
be instantly recognizable. And it is, but the new darker color palette 
  reflects the darker tone that this installment brings, and the pink  
and purple really make it pop. I love it and think HarperCollins have  
done another amazing job. I hope you like it too.

********************************************************

So, what do you think?  I love it!  I love that it echoes the original cover, only with color changes and it's a little more full with the dress.  It's commanding and ethereal, and I'm guessing the darker palette is going to be symbolic of the trials and tribulations that are to come in book 2! 

Thanks for stopping by, and don' forget to use the links below to pre-order it now!

Cover Reveal: LOSING IT by Cora Carmack

So, first off, I have to say that I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!! And, I'm in all honesty not saying that just because Cora is near and dear to my heart!  I devoured this book with an abundance of squeeing, melting, and daydreaming!  I am so thrilled that we are hosting the cover reveal and blog tour for Losing It!  Isn't this cover absolutely breathtaking also?  If you love New Adult novels, then you need to put this on your TBR! Trust me on this guys!!! (Be sure to add the book on goodreads!)

A little note about New Adult literature: If you're unfamiliar, we view New Adults as a transitioning time between the teenage years and adulthood.  They deal with a character's first experiences being out on their own in the real world.  Many of these books are crossover novels between YA and Adult fiction.  The age recommendation would be 18 and up.  We're actually starting up a new feature on our blog called "Not So YA Day" on Fridays to focus on New Adult books we love! We hope you enjoy it! 

LOSING IT by Cora Carmack releases in ebook format on October 16th!

Here's a quick blurb about the book: 

College student Bliss Edwards is sick of being the only virgin among her friends. She decides the best way to deal with the problem is to lose her virginity quickly and simply— a one-night stand. Her plan turns out to be anything but simple when she chickens out and leaves a gorgeous guy alone and naked in her bed. Already embarrassed, it only gets worse when she arrives for her first class of her last college semester, and recognizes her new Theatre professor. She’d left him naked in her bed about eight hours earlier. 

Please note: LOSING IT is New Adult, NOT YA. It is recommended for readers 18 and up. 

About the author: 

Cora Carmack is a twenty-something writer who likes to write about twenty-something characters. She’s done a multitude of things in her life-- boring jobs (like working at Target), Fun jobs (like working in a theatre), stressful jobs (like teaching), and dream jobs (like writing). She loves theatre, travel, and anything that makes her laugh. She enjoys placing her characters in the most awkward situations possible, and then trying to help them get a boyfriend out of it. Awkward people need love, too.

NATURALS by Tiffany Truitt Cover Reveal

Hello everyone!  Today we have the pleasure of participating in the cover reveal for Naturals by Tiffany Truitt.  Naturals is the 2nd book in The Lost Souls series, with Chosen Ones being Book 1.

You can read my review of Chosen Ones here

********************************************************

 

 

 

Tiffany Truitt was born in Peoria, Illinois. A self-proclaimed Navy brat, Tiffany spent most of her childhood living in Virginia, but don’t call her a Southerner. She also spent a few years living in Cuba. Since her time on the island of one McDonald's and Banana Rats (don't ask) she has been obsessed with traveling. Tiffany recently added China to her list of travels (hello inspiration for a new book).

 

Besides traveling, Tiffany has always been an avid reader. The earliest books she remembers reading belong to The Little House on the Prairie Series. First book she read in one day? Little Woman(5th grade). First author she fell in love with? Jane Austen in middle school. Tiffany spent most of her high school and college career as a literary snob. She refused to read anything considered “low brow” or outside the “classics.”

 

Tiffany began teaching middle school in 2006. Her students introduced her to the wide, wonderful world of Young Adult literature. Today, Tiffany embraces popular Young Adult literature and uses it in her classroom. She currently teaches the following novels: The Outsiders, Speak, Night, Dystopian Literature Circles: The Hunger Games, The Giver, The Uglies, and Matched.

And now for the REVEAL!!!!!!

 

**********************************************************

 

 

 

 

Tess is finally safe from the reach of the Council, now that she is living in the Middlelands with the rebel Isolationists. With James having returned to Templeton, she easily falls back into her friendship with Henry, though her newfound knowledge of Robert’s chosen one status still stings. Even surrounded by people, Tess has never felt more alone. So she’s thrilled when James returns to the settlement, demanding to see Tess — until she finds out that it’s because her sister, Louisa, has been recruited into Tess’s old position at Templeton, and that the dangerously sadistic chosen one George has taken an interest in her.

 

NATURALS is the second book in The Lost Souls trilogy, and follows the dystopian hit CHOSEN ONES.

 

***********************************************

 

I absolutely love this cover!  And I love the background--it looks like dead ground which just shows the death and destruction in this dystopian society.  I loved Chosen Ones, and I can't wait for this next book!!!
