<b><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Hello <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>readers, I’m so
excited to share an excerpt with you from my upcoming debut novel, THE WITCH OF
WILLOW HALL (on-sale October 2, 2018). My name is Hester Fox, and hailing from
Boston, I’ve always been fascinated with the rich and oftentimes dark history
of this period. My novel takes place in a small New England town over 130 years
after the infamous Salem Witch trials, and features a Gothic, melancholy
atmosphere, </span></b><b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">restless
spirits, and of course, resilient women. <span style="background: white; color: #222222;">I hope you enjoy this Witchy excerpt I’ve pulled for you.</span><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Seated at the
table is a woman, or what used to be a woman. She sits as if she has every
right to be there, as if she has always been there. A veil covers her face, but
it is gauzy and threadbare, and I can see the contours of the features beneath.
Her dress is old, black as night yet opalescent as the moon through a cobweb. </span><a href="https://badwitch.es/vulnerability-the-witchy-way-to-deal-with-fear/"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Paralyzed
with fear</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">, I watch as it moves about her of its own accord, a
soft undulation as if she were underwater. And though I can see her as clear as
day, the veiled woman in our dining room, there’s a translucence to her, and
the panoramic wallpaper is just visible behind her. She is like nothing and no
one I have ever seen before, and yet she is familiar, as if I have always known
her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Come, child.”
Her voice comes from everywhere and nowhere, and when her words are finished, I
have the unnerving feeling that they weren’t spoken aloud at all, but came from
within my head.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">She beckons me
with a knobby finger, more bone than flesh.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">I can’t drag my
gaze away from her face, the sunken holes where there ought to be eyes, the
lipless mouth, all teeth and blackness. The cold pie that I just enjoyed churns
in my stomach and threatens to come up. She beckons me again, and I imagine
those long, terrible fingers closing around my neck and choking the life out of
me. I imagine them raking me across the face until ribbons of skin flutter from
my skull. I stand my ground, unwilling to deliver myself up to her. She is the
stuff of my novels, a grotesque horror that titillates on the page, but sends
terror into my heart when in the same room as me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">She gives
something like a grunt, and as if able to read my thoughts, says, “One hundred
and thirty years of death is not gentle on a body. Come, do not gawk.” I dare
not disobey her, so I force my leaden feet to move a few steps closer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The smell of
decay and death fills the room, sickly sweet and putrid at the same time. My
throat is tight, my mouth cotton, but somehow I’m able to gasp out, “W-who are
you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">She makes a
noise, something between a snort and a laugh, a scraping, rattling sound,
though it’s devoid of humor. “Do you not know your own </span><a href="https://badwitch.es/10-signs-grandmother-witch/"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">forebear</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The blackness of
her dress curls around her like a snake, but she sits as motionless as if she
were carved of stone. Her stillness is suffocating, it dares the house to be
silent, and punishes the sunlight for filtering in through the window.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Warily, I come
to a halt at the edge of the dining room table. I don’t know what she’s talking
about. “Forebear?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Have you not
looked upon me since you were a babe? Do you not recognize in me what flows
through you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“I…” But then it
comes to me. The lace collar, though tattered and black as her dress, is
unmistakable around her neck. “You’re the woman in the painting. Mother’s
ancestor.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The inclination
of her head is small, barely perceptible.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“I saw you in
the garden, when we first moved here. What do you want?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">That noise again
that might be an impatient snort or a laugh. “It was not me you saw. You
attract them. This is a haunted place and you attract the unhappy spirits that
call it home. They know what you are. Haven’t I been telling you that for these
two months past?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span class="ITALIC"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">You
attract them. </span></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">My eyes widen at the familiar refrain,
the words that I had convinced myself were nothing more than a figment of my
imagination, though I saw them written in my mirror, and heard them on the
whispers of the breeze.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">I can’t tear my
gaze away from her, yet I’m terrified that the veil will fall away, revealing
her face in more horrible detail. Before I can ask her what she thinks I am,
the voice comes again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“You’ve been
asking questions. Your mother would do well to educate you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Educate me?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Tch, ignorant
and incendiary. A dangerous combination. You might ask her for the book. It was
my mother’s. Yet look at the good it did me,” she says. At this, she lifts the
veil to her chin, revealing a crooked neck, one of the bones snapped clean
through. My hand flies to my mouth and I stifle a cry. She drops the veil back
into place. “That is what I got for my trouble.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Despite the
pounding of my heart and the coiling of my stomach, her roundabout way of
speaking is wearing on my taut nerves. “Why are you here? Did you come just to
berate me? Are you a spirit come to try to frighten me away? Because that’s
what you are, isn’t it? A spirit?” As soon as my questions tumble out I brace
myself. What if I anger her?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">But my barrage
of questions has no effect. “I have watched you since you were a little girl. I
have watched and waited, wondering when you would begin to open your eyes to
the world around you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The thought of
this creature watching me from the shadows makes me feel sick. “If you’ve been
watching me for so long, then why did you come now?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">She gives a sigh
that lifts the curtains and wilts the flowers on the table. “I will not waste
my breath on words you’re not ready to hear. I thought that this place would </span><a href="https://badwitch.es/slumber-no-more/"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">open your eyes</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">,
but I see that I’ve come too soon.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Frustration
overtakes fear. “But I <span class="ITALIC"><span style="line-height: 200%;">am </span></span>ready!
Something is happening here, to me. There’s something inside of me. You must
have come for a reason. I’ve heard your voice in the woods, seen your words on
my mirror! If you’ve come to say something to me, then just say it!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body-TextCxSpLast" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">She holds up a
single finger, silencing me. “Take this as a warning. If you are not able or
willing to control yourself, it will not only be you who suffers the
consequences, but those around you as well. If your mother will not educate
you, then you must seek out your own answers. You cannot protect yourself if
you do not know that of which you are capable.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>This school may be her dream come true…or her worst nightmare.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Dickensen Academy isn’t a typical boarding school. The faculty is hiding an unbelievable secret within their fine arts program. When Autumn Mattison receives an invitation to attend the high school, she yearns to escape her overbearing father yet remains reluctant to leave her mother and brother. Her doubts fade away when a vivid dream convinces her she belongs there.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Away from home, Autumn discovers a unique school environment that awakens her creative potential, and her new friends become like a second family. However, as she uncovers more about the dark side of the school and struggles with its curriculum, she questions whether Dickensen Academy is truly where she belongs.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>When tragedy strikes, Autumn must learn to believe in her own power and stand up to her greatest fear or risk having her memories destroyed to protect the school’s secrets. Caught between secrets and dreams, can she find her true self?</b></blockquote>

Dickensen Academy is Christine’s debut YA novel. After graduating from the University of Washington, she earned her MBA at the University at Albany. She honed her technical writing skills in marketing and consulting but attributes the creative part of the process to her passion for reading.</div>
</div>
<br />
When she isn’t reading or writing, Christine can often be found running, skiing, or hiking. She lives in Newcastle, Washington, with her supportive husband, two avid teen readers, and their energetic wheaten terriers.<br />

<b>Viola’s always been that girl from that family, so a scholarship to a prestigious private school in Florida was supposed to be her ticket out of poverty and into a brand-new life. But Viola’s secrets have followed her. Her relationship with the intelligent and gorgeous Riel should have been the salvation she needed—he understands her troubled past better than anyone. But then weird things start to happen.<br />
<br />
Frightening messages.<br />
<br />
Missing personal items.<br />
<br />
The unsettling feeling that she’s being watched.<br />
<br />
Viola’s never been one to give her trust easily, but she’ll need to trust in Riel if she’s going to survive her stalker. Because she’s not fighting for a new life anymore—she’s fighting to stay alive.</b></blockquote>

<b>In the war against the Forces of Darkness, the Royals are losing. Princess Ivy is determined to end this centuries-long conflict once and for all, so her new battle partner must succeed where the others failed. Prince Zach’s unparalleled skill with a sword, enhanced by Ivy’s magic Kiss, should make them an unstoppable pair—but try convincing Zach of that.<br />
<br />
Prince Zach has spent his life preparing for battle, but he would rather be branded a heretic than use his lips as nothing more than a way to transfer magic. A kiss is a symbol of love, and love is the most powerful weapon they have—but try convincing Ivy of that.<br />
<br />
With the fate of their world on the line, the battlefield has become a testing ground, and only one of them can be right. Falling for each other wasn’t part of the plan—but try convincing their hearts of that. </b></blockquote>

Drawing inspiration from these fantastical works of fiction, she wrote her first novel in college while she was getting her bachelor’s in Mass Communication from Louisiana State University. By day, Lindsey is an account manager at a digital marketing agency based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. By night, and the wee hours of the morning, she writes both middle grade and young adult. She has a weakness for magic, anything classical, all kinds of mythology, and falls in love with tragic heroes. Other than writing and cuddling with her morkie puppy, Delphi, Lindsey loves catching up on the latest superhero TV show, practicing yoga, and listening (and belting) to her favorite music artists and show tunes. KISS OF THE ROYAL is her YA debut novel.<br />

<h2>
Summary</h2>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>In her debut novel THE WOLF ROAD (July 5, 2016; Crown), author and managing editor at London’s Titan Books Beth Lewis introduces us to a world decimated by an unnamed, apocalyptic event and inhabited by desperate people accustomed to hunting, tracking, and killing to survive. Among them is Elka, the young heroine whose unmistakable voice guides us through the untamed landscape of the area formerly known as British Columbia on her journey to escape the horrors of her own past.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Everything Elka knows of the world she learned from the man she calls Trapper, a solitary hunter who took her under his wing when she was just seven years old. He has taught her how to shoot, track, set snares, and start fires—all the skills necessary to survive in a wild, lawless land where men are at the mercy of the elements and one another. But when wanted posters begin appearing in town, Elka realizes that the man she thinks she knows so well is harboring terrible secrets. The more Elka finds out about him, the less sure she becomes about her own identity—especially as she begins to recover some of the painful memories she’s kept at bay throughout her childhood.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>As the horrific facts emerge, Elka makes her escape, armed with nothing but her knife and the survival skills he’s taught her. She sets out in the hope of finding her true parents, who traveled to the frozen north years earlier in pursuit of gold, but Elka can tell by the shadows that follow her that Trapper’s on her trail—and he won’t be letting his little girl go without a fight. As she encounters physical hardships, violence, and loneliness that at times test her sanity, she also strains to distinguish between fact and fiction in her own recollections. Ultimately, she will have to turn and confront not just Trapper but the dark reality of her past.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>THE WOLF ROAD is a tautly suspenseful cat-and-mouse tale of justice and revenge, played out against a vast, unforgiving landscape—told by an unforgettable, tough-as-nails young heroine fighting desperately to escape the terrors of her childhood and rejoin humanity.</b></blockquote>

<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">His eyes searched the trees. Black as pitch them eyes, black
as disease and disorder and hate and lies. He grinned, flat white teeth like
gravestones, and twirled his little fish gutter in his fingers, flinging blood
everywhere, rolling out the red carpet.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">“Elka, you know I don’t mean you no harm.” His voice turned
friendly. “I’d never hurt my Elka.”</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">He wandered around like a blind man, trudging through the
snow, steam lifting off his body. Always hot after a killing. He was lean,
carved out of wood some say, and but for the tattoos had a face you’d take home
to your mother. He leaned up against a cottonwood tree, panting to keep the
cold out, getting sick of hide-and-seek.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">“Could a’ killed you a hundred times, girlie,” he said, slow.
“Could a’ taken my pig sticker and cut your neck to navel while you slept.
Could a’ peeled your skin off easy as boiled trout.”</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">I remembered all those years calling him Daddy and felt sick.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">“Could a’ made my winter boots out of your back,” he carried
on, voice getting more excited, smile getting bigger, like he was reeling off
courses at a feast. “New belt out of your arms. Could a’ stuffed my mattress
with your silky brown hair.”</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">He laughed and I felt sicker. He raised his knife, pointed it
into the trees, right at my face though he didn’t know it.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">Heard it all before but it didn’t stop the cold creeping up
my back, cold that weren’t snow. Cold that weren’t ice and winter. I’d heard
him say worse but never to me. I was still afraid of him, the things he’d done,
the things he made me do. But damn if I wasn’t trying to turn it to good.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

found you first.”</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">I raised up my own knife. Weighted right nice for throwing. I
told him in my head to stay there against the tree, told him don’t you move a
muscle.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">“I been worried something rotten for you, Elka. This world
ain’t no place for a kid like you on your own. There are worse things than
wolves in the dark. Worse things than me.”</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">But for the blood he could have been a normal Joe out on a
stroll. But for the kid’s scalp swinging in the breeze, he could’ve been
anyone. But he wasn’t. He was Kreagar Hallet. Murdering, kid-killing bastard
Kreagar Hallet. Took me far too long to figure that out and no prettied-up
words would change it now.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">I stood up on the branch without making more’n a snowflake
shudder and wound back my arm. Breathed out. Pictured him like a deer. Threw my
knife with all the force I had, straight and true and hit him in that soft spot
just below the collarbone. That metal went through his shoulder into that tree,
pinned him hard, heard that wood thud you get during target practice. And I’d
done a lot of target practice. Damn if that weren’t a perfect shot.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
“An unrelenting psychological thriller of wilderness survival wrapped in a terrifying hide-and-seek game of trying to escape an unspeakable past. … Fans of suspense with a touch of horror will be pulled into Elka’s intense struggle to find peace and redemption as the whole truth is finally revealed.”<u></u><u></u></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">

<strong><i><br />
</i></strong></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
“A white-knuckle trip through a gritty, frightening, and all-too-plausible post-apocalypse. You won’t know whether to root for or be afraid of heroine Elka, and you won’t be able to put the book down.”<u></u><u></u></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
—<strong>Paul Tremblay, author of <i>A Head Full of Ghosts </i></strong><br />
<br />
“A remarkable first novel that drew me in from page one. I was reminded of the beautiful savagery of Cormac McCarthy’s<em>The Road</em> and the elegiac overtones of Dickey’s <em>Deliverance</em>while reading—but Lewis has crafted something completely unique here, carried so powerfully along by the voice of its indelible young narrator.”<u></u><u></u></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
—<strong>Nick Cutter, author of <i>The Troop</i></strong><br />
<br />
“Addictive and compelling…an apocalyptic thriller with a dark, horrible heart. It’s impossible not to root for Elka as she fights her way through a chilling—but disturbingly familiar—wasteland.”<u></u><u></u></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
—<strong>Kelly Braffet, author of <i>Save Yourself</i></strong><br />
<br />
“Stark and soulful, <em>The Wolf Road</em> is a brutal yet poignant journey into the truth of one girl’s origins in a shattered wilderness. It masterfully dances between the savagery of the wild and the raw, blunt humor of frontier logic. A rollicking, striking read.”<u></u><u></u></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
—<strong>Robert Jackson Bennett, author of <i>City of Stairs </i></strong><br />
<br />
“Dazzling…a literary thriller that weaves lush language and unforgettable characters into a genuine page-turner.”<u></u><u></u></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
—<strong>Scott Hawkins, author of <i>The Library at Mount Char</i></strong><br />
<br />
“An extraordinary novel—dark and funny and full of wild energy. Elka is a brilliant creation—fierce and vulnerable at the same time. Her story and her voice pull you in from the first page and never let you go. Gripping and unforgettable.”<u></u><u></u></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">

<h2>
Synopsis</h2>
</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Ever since she was a baby, the words people use to describe Elyse have instantly appeared on her arms and legs. At first it was just "cute" and "adorable," but as she's gotten older and kids have gotten meaner, words like "loser" and "pathetic" appear, and those words bubble up and itch. And then there are words like "interesting," which she's not really sure how to feel about. Now, at age twelve, she's starting middle school, and just when her friends who used to accept and protect her are drifting away, she receives an anonymous note saying "I know who you are, and I know what you're dealing with. I want to help." As Elyse works to solve the mystery of who is sending her these notes, she also finds new ways to accept who she is and to become her best self.</b></blockquote>

Summary </h2>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>A chilling new novel about a girl who must delve into her past if she wants to live long enough to have a future when a series of murders that are eerily similar to the dark stories her brother used to tell start happening in her hometown.<br />
<br />
Lana used to know what was real. That was before, when her life was small and quiet. Her golden stepbrother, Ben was alive. She could only dream about bonfiring with the populars. Their wooded island home was idyllic, she could tell truth from lies, and Ben’s childhood stories were firmly in her imagination.<br />
<br />
Then came after.<br />
<br />
After has Lana boldly kissing her crush, jumping into the water from too high up, living with nerve and mischief. But after also has horrors, deaths that only make sense in fairy tales, and terrors from a past Lana thought long forgotten. Love, blood, and murder.</b></blockquote>

<u><span style="font-family: "adobe jenson pro light" , serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">Chapter 2 part 1<o:p></o:p></span></span></u></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "adobe jenson pro light" , serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">What comes next happens fast. It’s getting dark and everyone is out of breath, their panting magnified in my ears. Becca’s whimpers are desperate and grinding, bouncing off the trees. I want to tell her to shut up already, I need to concentrate. Josh leaves the surface, and there’s only black lapping water where he was.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "adobe jenson pro light" , serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">Duncan makes it to the shore and his voice booms, “Carolynn, call 9-1-1.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "adobe jenson pro light" , serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">And she says, “My effing cell is in the car.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "adobe jenson pro light" , serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">Willa shouts, “Run for it.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "adobe jenson pro light" , serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">And then they stop making noise—except for Becca, who’s still wailing—so I assume Carolynn runs for her phone. I get caught up in the enormous unlikelihood of seven of us and not one cell, and then I want to smack my forehead because there’s no service at the spring.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "adobe jenson pro light" , serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">Rusty vanishes too. He and Josh are diving for the girl. And I think, <i>What is she doing down there? </i>A split second later, I dive also.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "adobe jenson pro light" , serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">I swim blind, the surface gone too dim to illuminate below. I wriggle through the black, my chest squeezing with the increased pressure. My hands jab the bottom. It’s soundless as death, and I wonder if Ben can hear anything where he is. Stupid to believe he could be anywhere, dead is dead. And I’m not dead, even if sometimes I wonder if we’d be together if I were. That’s a nightmare thought, the kind that filled the first month after we buried Ben’s empty coffin.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "adobe jenson pro light" , serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">There’s a ripple in the water to my right—Josh or Rusty scouring the spring for the girl. <i>The girl.</i> I was below a minute ago and there was no one except loneliness and memories of Ben—but aren’t those two actually the same? My arms sweep back and forth, legs propelling me forward. Pressure behind my eyeballs. Too long since the surface. And that <i>must</i> be the case, because I have the inkling that I’m an astronaut in space and I’m only dreaming that I’m in water.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "adobe jenson pro light" , serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">My arms close around something—no, <i>someone</i>—waxy and firm. I take hold and yank and yank, ripping the form free from an invisible grip. She’s slender in my arms, all sharp angles and poking bones. I wonder if she’s a kid as we surface, and I gasp so hard it’s a punch in the lungs.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "adobe jenson pro light" , serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">“Help,” I sputter. Everything is silver edged. Rusty’s arms windmill toward me. His hands skate over mine to get a grip on the girl, which is good because she’s slipping, her breasts smushed against my arms as I try to keep hold. <i>Breasts</i>, so she’s not a kid. Rusty floats her on her back, and with an arm hooked under hers, he cuts through the water.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "adobe jenson pro light" , serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">“Over here, man,” Duncan calls, crouched on the shore, blood smeared across his face. Josh jerks his head to the ladder, and we swim for it. Rusty must have reached the <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>shore, because Duncan adds, “Lift her. Yeah, yeah, yeah, a bit higher.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "adobe jenson pro light" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">My arms go shaky and dumb as I climb from one rung to the next. I’m at the top, swinging a leg over a boulder, when Duncan shouts, “Holy shit, I know her.” Becca cries out from where she’s curled on her towel, the skipper hat and her face ducking intermittently behind her knees. “It’s Maggie Lewis,” Duncan says.</span><span style="font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Summary</h2>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Sixteen-year-old Jessa Stone is the most valuable citizen in Eden City. Her psychic abilities could lead to significant scientific discoveries, if only she’d let TechRA study her. But ten years ago, the scientists kidnapped and experimented on her, leading to severe ramifications for her sister, Callie. She’d much rather break into their labs and sabotage their research—starting with Tanner Callahan, budding scientist and the boy she loathes most at school.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The past isn’t what she assumed, though—and neither is Tanner. He’s not the arrogant jerk she thought he was. And his research opens the door to the possibility that Jessa can rectify a fatal mistake made ten years earlier. She’ll do anything to change the past and save her sister—even if it means teaming up with the enemy she swore to defeat.</b></blockquote>

<b>Imagine a world where your destiny has already been decided…by your future self.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>It’s Callie’s seventeenth birthday and, like everyone else, she’s eagerly awaiting her vision―a memory sent back in time to sculpt each citizen into the person they’re meant to be. A world-class swimmer. A renowned scientist.</b><br />

<b>Or in Callie’s case, a criminal.</b><br />

<b>But on the run from her future, as well as the government, Callie sets in motion a chain of events that she hopes will change her fate. If not, she must figure out how to protect her sister from the biggest threat of all—Callie, herself.</b></blockquote>

</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Seventeen-year-old Violet has always been expected to sit back and let the boys do all the saving.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>It’s the code her father, a member of the Reign of Terror motorcycle club, raised her to live by. Yet when her dad is killed carrying out Terror business, Violet knows it’s up to her to do the saving. To protect herself, and her vulnerable younger brother, she needs to cut all ties with the club—including Chevy, the boy she’s known and loved her whole life.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>But when a rival club comes after Violet, exposing old secrets and making new threats, she’s forced to question what she thought she knew about her father, the Reign of Terror, and what she thinks she wants. Which means re-evaluating everything: love, family, friends . . . and forgiveness.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Caught in the crosshairs between loyalty and freedom, Violet must decide whether old friends can be trusted—and if she’s strong enough to be the one person to save them all.</b></blockquote>

Summary</h2>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Maddie is beyond <i>done</i> with her cousin Genesis’s entitled and shallow entourage. Genesis is so over Miami’s predictable social scene with its velvet ropes, petty power plays, and backstabbing boyfriends.<br />
<br />
While Maddie craves family time for spring break, Genesis seeks novelty—like a last-minute getaway to an untouched beach in Colombia. And when Genesis wants something, it happens.<br />
<br />
But paradise has its price. Dragged from their tents under the cover of dark, Genesis, Maddie, and their friends are kidnapped and held for ransom deep inside the jungle—with no diva left behind. It all feels so random to everyone except Genesis. She knows they were targeted for a reason. And that reason is her.<br />
<br />
Now, as the hours count down, only one thing’s for certain: If the Miami hostages can’t set aside their personal problems, no one will make it out alive.</b></blockquote>

<h2>
A Note from Rachel Vincent</h2>
In my upcoming YA suspense 100 HOURS, Genesis and her cousin Maddie come from opposite ends of the privilege spectrum, but when they wind up kidnapped for ransom during spring break in Colombia and have no one else to count on, they discover they have more in common than either of them thought.<br />
<br />
If you’ve read any of my previous releases, 100 HOURS probably seems like a departure for a Rachel Vincent book. And that’s what I thought, back when it was just me and an idea. But as I wrote the story and got to know the characters, I realized that even though this book is set in the Colombian jungle and these characters have no supernatural abilities, 100 HOURS is very much a book about the themes that draw me in over and over. Survival. Family friction and loyalty. High-stakes pulse-racing action. Twists, turns, secrets, and revelations. Girls who can fend for themselves—and for anyone else who needs help.<br />

Rachel Vincent is a former English teacher and an eager champion of the Oxford comma. She shares her home in Oklahoma with two cats, two teenagers, and her husband, who’s been her # 1 fan from the start. Rachel is older than she looks and younger than she feels, and she remains convinced that writing about the things that scare her is the cheapest form of therapy—but social media is a close second.<br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt; text-decoration: underline;"><b>Special Note from the Author, Julie Cross: </b></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I’m so excited to reveal this cover! I saw it months ago and not only loved it, but felt like I finally had something tangible to show the vibe of this story. </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chasing Truth</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> began as a teen romance featuring a girl with a unique past–she’s from a family of con-artists. Until recently, Ellie spent her entire life living under multiple identities, being everyone and anyone. So falling for new neighbor, Miles, as herself is brand new territory and that definitely creates a bit of a rocky relationship for my two leads. While the story is still built on all of that, it also evolved into a slightly different recipe as I wrote. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chasing Truth</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is 1 part mystery/thriller, 1 part high school drama, 1 part family story, and 2 parts (maybe 3…) romance. If you’re a fan of the TV series </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Veronica Mars</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, you’ll find that </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chasing Truth</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> has a similar feel. I can’t wait for all of you to have a chance to the read the book in September, but for now, I’ll have to settle for showing off this beautiful cover! </span></div>

<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">At Holden Prep, the rich and powerful rule the school—and they’ll do just about anything to keep their dirty little secrets hidden.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">When former con artist Eleanor Ames’s homecoming date commits suicide, she’s positive there’s something more going on. The more questions she asks, though, the more she crosses paths with Miles Beckett. He’s sexy, mysterious, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">arrogant</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">…and he’s asking all the same questions.</span></div>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Eleanor might not trust him—she doesn’t even </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">like</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> him—but they can’t keep their hands off of each other. Fighting the infuriating attraction is almost as hard as ignoring the fact that Miles isn’t telling her the truth…and that there’s a good chance he thinks </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">she’s</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> the killer.</span></div>

Welcome! Welcome! </div>
<br />
For today's stop for the <i>Will's Story</i> tour, I had a very important Educator perspective question for Jaye Robin Brown. See what JRo has to say about being a Teacher and Writer.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Teaching and Writing – How does that work?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Can I say I loved being given the topic of how my teaching affects the creative process of writing? Both are things I’m passionate about and both are things that require a tremendous amount of dedication. So their co-existence is a bit of a marvel.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, that said, I feel that my time with my students is a bit like living in a 24/7 story generator. When I write, particularly as someone far from her own teenage years, I check in constantly to make sure I’m not putting too much of an adult lens on my characters. I watch my students. Listen to my students. Engage with my students. And though I never lift a person whole cloth from life to the page, there are certainly pieces, mannerisms, and turns of phrase that make their way from classroom to creation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m also fortunate because I’m the visual arts teacher. I think creativity feeds creativity and in guiding my students through that discovery process for themselves, it helps me with my own. It also works my hands as well as my head and I think when we can engage more of our own senses, that helps keep the creative juices flowing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One negative impact of teaching on the creative process is time. As any teacher knows, the teacher life can consume. You could spend every waking minute thinking about your students, your classroom, and your program. I often think the whole old-fashioned model of spinster schoolmarm was there for a reason. Total dedication to other people’s children. But this is not then, and I feel like I’m a better teacher when I can bring a fuller experience to my students. And writing is one of those. So though it is sometimes nice to fantasize about full-time writer life, this is my reality. Which means I’ve learned to be disciplined and structured<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>. I have a set time every morning (early, early, early!) and then the weekends. Evenings I’m usually too wiped out from the classroom.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And if I’m honest with myself, the structure and discipline of my job makes my writing better. In Elizabeth Gilbert’s book, BIG MAGIC, she has a chapter on writing and a day job. This quote resonated: “There’s no dishonor in having a job. What is dishonorable is scaring away your creativity by demanding that it pay for your entire existence.” As teachers, I think we are doubly lucky, because our job IS as creative as our writing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, write on fellow teachers! You are some of the most creative individuals out there.</div>

Amber Vaughn is a good girl. She sings solos at church, babysits her nephew after school, and spends every Friday night hanging out at her best friend Devon’s house. It’s only when Amber goes exploring in the woods near her home, singing camp songs with the hikers she meets on the Appalachian Trail, that she feels free—and when the bigger world feels just a little bit more in reach.<br />
<br />
When Amber learns about an audition at the North Carolina School of the Arts, she decides that her dream—to sing on bigger stages—could also be her ticket to a new life. Devon’s older (and unavailable) brother, Will, helps Amber prepare for her one chance to try out for the hypercompetitive arts school. But the more time Will and Amber spend together, the more complicated their relationship becomes . . . and Amber starts to wonder if she’s such a good girl, after all.<br />
<br />
Then, in an afternoon, the bottom drops out of her family’s world—and Amber is faced with an impossible choice between her promise as an artist and the people she loves. Amber always thought she knew what a good girl would do. But between “right” and “wrong,” there’s a whole world of possibilities.</blockquote>

I am absolutely THRILLED to be a part of the summer stretch of the Harper tour with Irish Banana!<br />

I have the honor of featuring a book which takes place in my home state, North Carolina. This made me a little happier than it should have, I think. ;) It is so much <b><span style="font-size: large;">FUN</span></b> knowing that this setting is actually about 30 minutes from where I live.<br />
<br />
Anyway! To the book and GIVEAWAYS! Wooo!<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>In a single night—graduation night—Thomas has to decide: Do what everyone has always expected of him? Or forge an entirely new path? Bryan Bliss’s absorbing examination of one boy struggling with expectations and realities will appeal to readers of Sara Zarr and Chris Crutcher.</b><b><br />
<br />
</b><b>Thomas is supposed to leave for the army in the morning. His father was Army. His brother, Jake, is Army—is a hero, even, with the medals to prove it. Everyone expects Thomas to follow in that fine tradition. But Jake came back from overseas a completely different person, and that has shaken Thomas’s certainty about his own future. And so when his long-estranged friend Mallory suggests one last night of adventure, Thomas takes her up on the distraction. Over the course of this single night, Thomas will lose, find, resolve, doubt, drive, explore, and leap off a bridge. He’ll also face the truth of his brother’s post-traumatic stress disorder and of his own courage. In Bryan Bliss’s deft hands, graduation night becomes a night to find yourself, find each other, find a path, and know that you always have a place—and people—to come back to.</b></blockquote>

<blockquote>
<b><i>Dating isn’t easy when you’re in the middle of a blood feud.</i></b><br />
<b><br />
</b> <b>Anastasia Vila’s family can turn into swans, but just once she’d like them to turn into responsible adults.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> <b>After hundreds of years, they still cling to the blood feud with the Renard family. No one remembers how it started in the first place—but foxes and swans just don’t get along.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> <b>Vilas can only transform into their swan shape after they have fallen in love for the first time, but between balancing schoolwork, family obligations, and the escalating blood feud, Ana’s got no time for love. The only thing keeping her sane is her best friend, Pierce Kent.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> <b>But when Pierce kisses Ana, everything changes.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> <b>Is what Pierce feels for her real, or a byproduct of her magic? Can she risk everything for her best friend? And when the family feud spirals out of control, Ana must stop the fight before it takes away everything she loves.</b><br />
<b>Including, maybe...Pierce.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> <b><i>This Entangled Teen Crave book contains language, violence, and lots of kissing. Warning: it might induce strong feelings of undeniable attraction for your best friend.</i></b></blockquote>

Alyxandra Harvey lives in a stone Victorian house in Ontario, Canada with a few resident ghosts who are allowed to stay as long as they keep company manners. She loves medieval dresses, used to be able to recite all of The Lady of Shalott by Tennyson, and has been accused, more than once, of being born in the wrong century. She believes this to be mostly true except for the fact that she really likes running water, women’s rights, and ice cream. Aside from the ghosts, she also lives with her husband and their dogs. She likes cinnamon lattes, tattoos, and books.</div>

<b>Welcome to Trinity Academy’s best-kept secret.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The Society.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>You’ve been handpicked by the elite of the elite to become a member. But first you’ll have to prove your worth by making it through Hell Week.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Do you have what it takes?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>It’s time to find out.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Samantha Evans knows she’d never get an invite to rush the Society—not after her dad went to jail for insider trading. But after years of relentless bullying at the hands of the Society’s queen bee, Jessica, she’s ready to take down Jessica and the Society one peg at a time from the inside out.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>All it’ll take is a bit of computer hacking, a few fake invitations, some eager rushees…and Sam will get her revenge.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Let the games begin.</b></blockquote>

She now lives and writes in a small town in Pennsylvania with her teenage daughter. Though still an avid reader, she now prefers a comfy chair over the crook of a tree. An unapologetic coffee fiend, she's even happier if her java comes with pie. Jodie often draws on her background in education and mental health counseling to bring real world experience to her writing. She is a firm believer in the magic of a first kiss, and insists that you should never, ever give up on your dreams. </div>

<b>A fantastic adventure story that will transport you to a dazzling world of myth and magic.</b><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I honestly enjoyed how this book started out. I kind of got a Harry Potter-ish kind of vibe with Aurora being an orphan and left to people who didn't care for her. All of the quick beginning chapters, we lose those people quickly (thank goodness!) and move on to Avalonia...through a magical tapestry!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once through the portal, we learn that there are different lands. Not just where we live. There are other beings, too. Magical beings! This story mostly discusses mages and the fae. We quickly find out that Aurora is the lost princess to this land, Avalonia. Unfortunately, her method of getting through the tapestry to the land landed her in a prison. In that prison, she met 2 fae. Thankfully, they were a couple of important fae and someone came to their rescue. Aurora was rescued along with the fae, and free for the time, away from the person who wanted her dead.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once the story really got started, the names of the lands were confusing me. Once I kept seeing them mentioned and "meeting" people from those lands, I began to enjoy the story much more. I think with a physical copy of this book, a reader can flip and look at the beautiful map much easier than I was trying to do on my ereader.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With a medallion around Aurora's neck, we find the history of it and how it got there. It was the only thing she had from her childhood and she never took it off. Which, was a great thing! If she had, she would have discovered her magical abilities. In our human world, that would have been a disaster!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is decided that she will go to a school for mages to learn how to use her magic. While there, we have some other Harry Potter-ish moments with a kind headmaster, a friend, and then the evil family who are out to aid their uncle in helping Aurora's evil aunt rule all of the lands. However, no one at the school, other than the headmaster and a professor know Aurora's true identity. It's for her safety that no one knows. Also, it's for her safety that no one knows that she possesses two types of magic: mage and fae. It's a combination she inherited from her parents, the kind and queen of Avalonia, who were murdered many years ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I loved the friends that Aurora made along the way. Her roommate at school, who helped her and truly liked her. Kalen, one of the fae who enjoyed his adventures and telling stories to Aurora. Then, there's the Black Wolf, AKA Rafe. Boy, oh, boy! Did I love Rafe! I was feeling the frustration right along with Aurora through the story. Haha! Rafe is a wanted man, who helps save fae. He has some interesting secrets that are revealed later in this book. It makes so much sense!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I truly did enjoy reading Farah's debut story and fell in love with her story-telling. I will have a copy of this book on my shelf and I look forward to the next installment. Very much!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Amelia is a rising Hollywood starlet. She's is in Rome to film a remake of one of the best movies of all time: <i>Roman Holiday</i>.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the story, we meet Amelia. She snuck out of a party in a maid's outfit from the hotel where she is a guest. While out and roaming the streets, she discovers that she's quite tipsy from the party and has no purse or money with her. She meets Philip, a man who saved her from the rain, and shares a taxi with her.<br />
<br />
The next morning, we meet a mysterious girl. She gets injured and Amelia goes along with her to the doctor to make sure she's okay.<br />
<br />
After meeting these two people, Amelia's world becomes topsy-turvy! She finds a true friend in the mysterious Sophie and finds romance with Philip, the reporter who pretends to not know who Amelia is and why she's in Rome.<br />
<br />
One day, while in her suite at the hotel, Amelia discovers letters taped to the inside of a desk. When she begins to read them, she realizes they're letters written by Audrey Hepburn! Through the letters, we find many parallels between Amelia and Audrey Hepburn. They were both beautiful ladies who were engaged to somewhat pushy and bossy men. Each of them ended their relationships while in Rome, while filming. Both women found strength and freedom.<br />
<br />
Rome is magical! I need to go to Rome! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I absolutely love stories that are so detailed with the setting that I feel as if I'm <i>IN</i> the story. While reading <b>Rome in Love</b>, I could picture myself sitting at a cafe near a beautiful fountain, enjoying a plate full of pasta with a glass of wine.<br />
<br />
I also love stories with happy endings. I especially love when it's a happy ending because the women in the story do what they want to do -- without regret. <br />
<br />
The question posed in the summary, "Can Amelia and Sophie finally have both the life and love they've always wanted -- or will they be forced to choose?" will definitely be at the forefront of your mind as you enjoy the ride through this lovely story to find out their fates.</div>

<b><i><br /></i></b><b>Goodreads Summary</b><br />
<b>From the author of Frostborn comes Book 2 in the acclaimed Thrones and Bones fantasy-adventure trilogy for fans of Lloyd Alexander and Brandon Mull.</b><br />
<br />
Karn Korlundsson is a gamer. Not a riddle solver. But in order to rescue his best friend, Thianna Frostborn, he will need to travel to the faraway city of Castlebriar (by wyvern), learn how to play a new board game called Charioteers (not a problem), decipher the Riddle of the Horn, and tangle with mysterious elves.<br />
<br />
Meet Desstra. She’s in training to join the Underhand—the elite agents of the dark elves. When she crosses paths with Karn, she is not all that she appears to be.<br />
<br />
Everyone is chasing after the horn of Osius, an ancient artifact with the power to change the world. The lengths to which Karn will go in the name of friendship will be sorely tested. Who knew that solving a riddle could be so deadly?<br />
<br />
The novel includes instructions for playing the board game Charioteers. Visit ThronesandBones.com for additional games, maps, character profiles, and more!<br />

Ahhh, back to the complicated lives of Karn and Thianna! I love it!<br />
<br />
From Book 1, <b><i>Frostborn</i></b>, we met our duo. We had a backstabbing uncle who tried to kill Karn so he could inherit the family farm. He was taken care of by Helltoppr and Karn and his family were okay in the end.<br />
<br />
We had Thianna, who is a half giant/half human who had women tracking her after she blew a horn that was her mother's.<br />
<br />
Because of that horn, Karn and Thianna were running for their lives and ran into a dragon, Orm. The dragon and other creatures of the same type, we found out, were controlled with the horn. The goal of the women who were hunting Thianna in the first book was to get the horn so they could still control the creatures. The creatures, however, wanted the horn destroyed. That was done!<br />
<br />
Come to Book 2, <b><i>Nightborn</i></b>, we found out there's a second horn. Yowzas! The dragon, Orm, sent Thianna on a quest to find and destroy the horn. Karn was also recruited after Thianna went missing.<br />
<br />
As Karn went on his long journey to find his friend, he found more riddles and a new "friend." The new friend, Desstra, was a dark elf that we met in the beginning of <b><i>Nightborn</i></b> (hence the title). She had disguised herself as a wood elf to fit into the city they were in. He thought she was a friend trying to help him find Thianna, but she was part of a group of dark elves trying to find the second horn.<br />
<br />
Thianna and Karn were eventually reunited. She had been held captive by the group of dark elves. The pair were together, but left by the dark elves to be killed. Of course, they escaped! They're an awesome duo!<br />
<br />
All through their quest to find the horn, they met more people and challenging situations. Their friendship was the top priority. Karn looked for Thianna and didn't hesitate because she was his friend.<br />
<br />
This book ended with the pair having a third person with them...Desstra! She didn't believe that she had to kill, hurt, or trick people like the other dark elves. She decided to stay with Karn and Thianna. And, they let her stay with them.<br />
<br />
The adventures and events (chariot fighting, y'all!!!) were amazingly described and I could see the images clearly in my head. This book was definitely a movie for my brain. Lou Anders is a great fantasy storyteller!<br />
<br />
I am still thoroughly enjoying this series and I cannot wait for the next book! Again, if you enjoy middle grade, fantasy, adventure, or friendship, this is a book and series for you.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Meet Karn. He is destined to take over the family farm in Norrøngard. His only problem? He’d rather be playing the board game Thrones and Bones.<br />
<br />
Enter Thianna. Half human, half frost giantess. She’s too tall to blend in with other humans but too short to be taken seriously as a giant.<br />
<br />
When family intrigues force Karn and Thianna to flee into the wilderness, they have to keep their sense of humor and their wits about them. But survival can be challenging when you’re being chased by a 1,500-year-old dragon, Helltoppr the undead warrior and his undead minions, an evil uncle, wyverns, and an assortment of trolls and giants.</blockquote>

It has been a while since I've read and reviewed a book. I am glad this opportunity presented itself because I honestly enjoyed <b><i>Frostborn</i></b>. The story definitely took me back a few years to when I used to play an online RPG. My heart smiled and my memories came rushing back. </div>
<br />
In <i><b>Frostborn</b></i>, Lou Anders created a fictional world with a bit of mythology and fantasy figures. Think Lord of the Rings, but for a younger crowd.<br />
<br />
Our story begins with a typical boy who has no desire to take over his family's farm. He would much rather be a kid and play his favorite game, Thrones and Bones. Each year, Karn's family travels to meet and trade with the frost giants. This year, Karn meets Thianna, a half-giant (half human, half giant). Since they're the only 2 "kids", they decide to hang out.<br />
<br />
While they're playing and talking, they develop kind of a friendship. I loved that Thianna took pride and was happy each time Karn called her big or tall. Since she was a half-giant, she wasn't near as tall as the giants and was often made fun of by some of the younger giants.<br />
<br />
When we get to the mystery involving a spirit and Karn's [evil] uncle, something bad happens. Karn is then on the run!<br />
<br />
When the giants get back to their home, there is a group of women hunting for Thianna. She, also, is then on the run!<br />
<br />
The two of them, fortunately, end up together while they're running and hiding.<br />
<br />
Once together, the two manage to get into trouble and run into creatures that no one wants to run into. However, since they were together, they were able to survive. If not together, they wouldn't have made it individually. Thianna had some frost magic and brute force, whereas Karn had brains and thinking skills.<br />
<br />
I really enjoyed that the two of them really relied on one another. They built a fantastic friendship, even though they were running for their lives. I was turning pages so quickly because I was so worried (and excited) as to what was going to come at them next. Karn and Thianna formed an everlasting and strong connection.<br />
<br />
If you are a fan of middle grade, RPGs, fantasy, LotR, or even The Lion King, you will enjoy <b><i>Frostborn</i></b>! Yes, The Lion King! There were so many parallels that it made my little Disney heart pitter-patter!<br />

<b>Advance Praise for Spelled</b><br />
“A cute adventure with romance set in a world full of fairy-tale mash-ups. Readers will love Dorthea’s evolution from spoiled princess to strong, confident heroine… For Oz fans, this work is a great clean-read alternative to Danielle Paige’s Dorothy Must Die.” -School Library Journal<br />
<br />
“This wickedly funny, fast-paced adventure has it all: brains, courage, and heart. (Plus a kickin’ pair of heels.) .” --Jen Calonita, author of The Secrets of My Hollywood Life and Fairy Tale Reform School series<br />
<br />
“Fairy tale survival rule #1, do NOT read this book late at night. You will wake up your entire family with loud laughter. Fairy tale survival rule #2, if you love the Wizard of Oz, clever fairy tale mash-ups, and enough twists and turns to keep you guessing what will happen until the very end, you MUST read Spelled.” --J Scott Savage, award winning author of Farworld, Case File 13, and the Mysteries of Cove series.<br />
<br />
“A hilarious and snarky reimagining of the world of Oz, along with many other fairy tales injected throughout, "Spelled" is one fabulous read…Kick off those silver slippers and tuck in with this wonderful tale!” —Senator Sipes, Lil Book Bug (Palmdale, CA)<br />
<br />
<b>Book Info:</b><br />
Talk about unhappily ever after. Dorthea is completely princed out. Sure being the crown princess of Emerald has its perks—like Glenda Original ball gowns and Hans Christian Louboutin heels. But a forced marriage to the not-so-charming prince Kato is so not what Dorthea had in mind for her enchanted future.<br />
<br />
Trying to fix her prince problem by wishing on a (cursed) star royally backfires, leaving Dorthea with hair made up of emerald flames and the kingdom in chaos. Her parents and everyone she loves are stuck in some place called “Kansas.” Now it’s up to Dorthea and her pixed-off prince to find the mysterious Wizard of Oz and undo the curse…before it releases the wickedest witch of all and spells The End for the world of Story.<br />

<b>Excerpt from Spelled:</b><br />
Most of the crowd had dispersed. The final few stragglers looked at me with the alltoo-common look of fear mixed with trepidation. Pix ’em. They were just servants. It wasn’t like their opinion mattered.<br />
<br />
Only one remained, watching me with open curiosity. He looked to be in his late teens or was magically enhanced to appear so. He could have been a hundred for all I knew. I’d never seen him before in my life. He was handsome enough, for a commoner, even in his worn leather pants and cracked work boots. A foreigner, his hair was unruly and dark auburn, which complemented his tanned but dirt-smudged complexion, though the tall, dark stranger vibe was ruined by his piercing pale blue eyes.<br />
<br />
Well, I’d had enough of being a sideshow for the day. “If you’re the new gardener, the hedges are overgrown and in need of a trim.” I pointed in the direction of my father. “While you’re there, you can help the king with the wisps.”<br />
<br />
The young man’s expression clouded over, but he didn’t move.<br />
<br />
I stamped my foot and pointed more forcefully. “Off with you. Courtyard’s that way. Be sure to clean those awful boots before coming back in.”<br />
<br />
“Someone told me I’d find a princess of great worth here. One with the strength to be the hero this realm needs.” He stared at me with those unsettling blue eyes. They were cold, like ice water—made me shiver from head to toe. Then his gaze seemed to search even deeper. Finally, he looked through me, like I was nothing.<br />
<br />
In brisk steps, he strode across the marble to the courtyard. But before crossing the threshold, he turned back to glare at me with his lip curled ever so slightly. “It seems she was mistaken.”<br />
<br />
Just like that, I had been sifted, weighed, and found wanting.<br />
<br />
I felt my own lip curl in response. How rude! Who the Grimm was this peasant to judge me? I was wearing a Glenda original. Original! Not some fairy-godmother knockoff worn by those servant girls turned royal. I was a crown princess, for the love of fairy, and no one dismissed me.<br />
<br />
Before I could put the boy in his place—down in the dirt, where he belonged—a clatter came from behind, making me nearly jump out of my shoes. I checked and was relieved that Sterling had simply dropped his sword. By the time I looked back, the gardener was gone.<br />
<br />
After stowing his blade, Sterling held up his shield, not in defense of the entrance but so he could look at his reflection. “Clearly he’s blind and doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”<br />
<br />
I didn’t ask for Sterling’s opinion, but it made me feel better.<br />
<br />
Until he opened his mouth again.<br />
<br />
“Worth, pffft. I mean, look around at all the jewels. Your palace has everything you could ever want. Honestly, I don’t know what you’re fussing about. Why would anyone want to leave?”<br />
<br />
Because a cage is still a cage, no matter how big or glittering the bars are.<br />
<br />
And I would find a way free, no matter the cost.<br />
