KINDLE GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: The Silver Siren by Chanda Hahn

EXCERPT “Will you stay close?” It sounded crazy coming from my own mouth, but I needed him near. “I’ll stay as close as you want,” he whispered. Then he sat near me cross-legged. “Is this good?” A small smile played at the corner of his lips. Nodding my head, I curled up in his bedroll and immediately felt comfortable and safe. I yawned and inhaled the smell of him from his blanket. I was definitely tired. “Thalia?” Kael leaned over and spoke into my ear. “Hmmm?” I answered. “Why don’t you want me to leave?” “Mmm. ’Cause you keep the bad things away,” I mumbled sleepily. “What if I am the bad thing?” His thick voice questioned. Was that a hint of fear I heard? “You’re not,” I answered honestly. I was almost asleep when I heard shuffling. My eyes flew open, and I reached out to grab Kael’s arm…. Read more »

GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: White Hart by Sarah Dalton

White Hart is FREE this week only with code RW100 on Smashwords They call me White Hart because on the day I was born—the day Mother died—the white stag appeared at the window of our hut, just a calf back then, so Father says. He tried to shoo it away, but the stag kept coming back, staring through the window, watching me as a baby. When I could talk, I yelled, Anta! Anta! I pointed at the large, furry antlers from his head, standing tall and crooked like the branches in the Waerg Woods. No one knows why Anta stayed with me, or why he let me tame him. I ride him, too, and he drags the cart of wood to market. They whisper behind us, That’s no place for a white stag. What did they do to the creature? They have no right to own an animal like that…… Read more »

$50 GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: Of Sea and Stone by Kate Avery Ellison

EXCERPT We walked across a bridge enclosed with glass that stretched between the ship and the city of Celestrus. Glass and twisted metal were the only things standing between the sea and us. I looked up and saw a long, sinuous shape curl through the waters above us—some giant, unknown sea creature—and a shiver passed over my skin as I remembered the dark shape that had passed beneath our ship on the journey over. What other things lurked in the ocean’s depths? The first guard planted his hand between my shoulder blades and pushed me forward, drawing my thoughts back to the present, back to the rush of warm air from the round opening ahead, the clank of our feet against the metal floor, and Nol telling the guard exactly what he’d like to do to him if he had a sword in hand. I kept my mouth shut, because… Read more »

EXCERPT: Reign of Ice by L.P. Dover

EXCERPT Taking a deep breath, Brayden took my hand and opened his closed fist. In his palm lay a shiny silver and onyx band with a symbol engraved on it. I couldn’t tell what the symbol was until he slid the band slowly down on my finger. However, it wasn’t just a symbol, it was the crest of the Winter Court … our Court of Ice. “How?” I whispered. Did he really remember the symbol in our vision? “Yes, I did,” he replied, giving me the answer to my silent question. “I can still see our vision clearly, right down to the way we made love by the fire. I remembered our crest on the wall in the room we were in, and it’s been engraved in my mind ever since. I had Lukas make the ring for you.” “Lukas made this?” I cried, gazing down at the ring. “It’s… Read more »

$50 GIVEAWAY: I Am Just Junco Omnibus Books 1-3 by JA Huss

EXCERPT FROM CLUTCH BOOK ONE Tier throws down his rifle, takes a deep breath and looks at Moju. “My charge is out, give me all the grenades.” Moju leans heavily against the wall, fishes around in his pockets, and pulls out three canisters and hands them over to Tier. And that’s when I hear the clicking from the hallway behind us. “Shit! They’re back!” From the hazy cloud of thick dust a massive amalgamation of bot parts appears. I scream and both Moju and I train our rifles on the thing that comes towards us. We blast it back a few paces and it’s forced to reassemble. I steal a look at Tier and he’s already pulling the pin on the first grenade and running back towards me yelling, “Fire in the hole!” Moju dives for the corner as Tier grabs me and yanks me to the floor.
