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 »

GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: The Final Omen by Heather Topham Wood

Excerpt He tilted his head as they entered the sunroom. “Is that Nelly’s Hot in Here you have playing?” “Yes; and let me tell you it was slim pickings trying to find decent music from the year you graduated. After some investigation on my part, I did find out your school’s prom song,” she bragged. He followed her to the iPod while she shuffled through the songs. Eve 6’s Here’s to the Night blared through the sound system. She’d cleared away the patio set they had in the sunroom to create a makeshift dance floor. His hands instinctively wrapped tightly around her waist and they began to sway to the music. “I wish my class had picked a more upbeat song. The lyrics ‘In a day and a day love, I’m gonna be gone for good again’ doesn’t exactly work for our fun night.” “We should’ve picked my prom song…. 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. The blast… Read more »

Twelve Days of DexMas: Karina Halle – Experiment in Terror Day One: DARKHOUSE

To see other stops on the tour for reviews, guest posts, and excerpts click here or the tour button above. REVIEW I read Darkhouse last year. In fact, Darkhouse was the very first five star review on New Adult Addiction. Karina Halle was writing new adult way before it was popular and it all started with this series. Perry and Dex are one of my favorite couples of all time. I laughed so many times in this book–but I was also a little scared because it’s a ghost story. Or, well, a series of ghost stories actually. It’s got some horror stuff in it but the characters are what really make these Experiment in Terror books shine. Perry and Dex are far from perfect. In fact, Perry has some real self-image problems (some realistic, some not), she’s not successful in her career, she’s been in trouble in the past, and… Read more »

GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: Breaking the Storm by Sedona Venez

EXCERPT: Now time for the man I really wanted. Knox held out his hand, his eyes lighting with amusement as I tossed my hair, dropping low in front of him with a seductive smile. “Minx,” he muttered. “Whatever,” I said with an air of confidence, swaying my way up. Leaning forward, I snatched the cigar from his mouth, letting my hair softly brush against his face. Stubbing it out on the stage, I popped it into my mouth like a boss in charge as I popped my hips, spun, and bent over, looking between my legs and giving him a full-on display of my ass. Pulling out the cigar, I flicked my tongue around it sensually. His eyes widened with desire. I swung up with a cloud of hair, extending my hand to him. Using his hard thigh as a step stool, I stepped down onto the floor. I never… Read more »

GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: Urban Harvest Anthology

Interview with Andrea Stanet, one of the authors featured in Urban Harvest: Tales of the Paranormal in New York City. What do you like about writing in the paranormal genre? The paranormal genre and I have had a long and tumultuous love affair filled with many sleepless nights for almost my entire life. To this day, I can’t get enough of vamps, were-creatures, and of course, ghosts. One thing I love about the genre is that you can do so much with myths and creatures. I enjoy turning tropes on their heads in wacky ways and I like to toy with the humorous side of the genre. For instance, a few years ago, on a whim, I thought a YA quartet of short stories that is a mash-up of vamps, werewolves, zombies, and aliens all living in a suburban community would be hilarious. It’s pretty silly, but I had fun… Read more »
