Kiya: Mother of a King Cover Reveal
yo

Today I have another cover reveal. This one is the second of book of a series that's having huge success because it's interesting and well written. Also it's set in Egypt and who would not love a story set there with strong and loyal commanders... (Read the book and you'll know what I'm talking about)

So here is the cover of Kiya: Mother of a King by Katie Hamstead.


Blurb:
Nefertiti has forced Naomi to flee Amarna with Malachi and the three children. But even under the protection of Naomi’s family in Thebes, Nefertiti still hunts her and Tut. Nefertiti sends assassins to kill them, and while Naomi fights to protect the children, Malachi fights to keep her safe.
With three children in tow, one of which isn’t her own, she is labeled the harlot outcast wife of the pharaoh and is shunned. She isn’t safe among her own people, and flees from being stoned to death. Although her family protects her, she must find a way to survive.
While Naomi struggles to keep herself and Tut alive, old adversaries return as Smenkhkare takes advantage of Akhenaten’s ailing health. Naomi must rely on Horemheb’s promise to protect Tut’s birthright, but her feelings for Malachi could cause more problems with Horemheb than she expects.

Now if you haven't read the first one I really suggest you buy it, just click on the image and you'll be able to buy and read it in seconds.

Cover Reveal ‘Finding Home’ by Lauren K. McKellar
yo
Today I'm so happy to share with you the cover reveal of the book of one my Cp's Lauren K. McKellar.
She's an awesome writer and you'll never regret to read this book.

So here it is!

1013-Finding-Home_1400 Synopsis: Moody, atmospheric, and just a little bit punk, Finding Home takes contemporary YA to a new level of grit... When Amy’s mum dies, the last thing she expects is to be kicked off her dad’s music tour all the way to her Aunt Lou in a depressing hole of a seaside town. But it’s okay — Amy learned how to cope with the best, and soon finds a hard-drinking, party-loving crowd to help ease the pain. The only solace is her music class, but even there she can’t seem to keep it together, sabotaging her grade and her one chance at a meaningful relationship. It takes a hard truth from her only friend before Amy realises that she has to come to terms with her past, before she destroys her future.
Finding Home, Lauren K McKellar's debut novel, is coming October 1, 2013. Add it to goodreads today.
Excerpt:
‘Look, I have to go. Can we talk about this later?’ Dad was asking Mum. Joe had shut the door behind him, and it was a good thing he did too, because when Dad had finished speaking, Mum picked up an empty bottle of Grey Goose vodka and threw it at his head. She missed, missed by a mile, but that didn’t stop the bottle hitting the wall behind him and shattering into thousands of tiny pieces. ‘Jesus!’ Dad exclaimed. He turned around, surveying the damage. ‘Oh, look what I did! Can’t have clean-cut Stevie D trashing the green room. People might talk!’ Mum’s voice dripped with sarcasm. It sounded hoarse, no doubt a result of the hours she’d spent alternating between crying and screaming up until now.
‘Even if this was our bloody lounge room, I would still be furious! You can’t just throw s**t like that.’
‘I’ll throw whatever I want to throw!’ Mum yelled. ‘You’re so uptight.’ She walked up to Dad and put her hands on his shoulders, shaking them. ‘Give up this stupid dream already.’ ‘And do what? I can’t afford your habits any other way. If I don’t sing, you have to get a job.’ Dad shook his head. I inched around behind them and started to pick up the pieces of glass. They were all different sizes, and some had gotten stuck in the carpet. They required a bit of twisting to retrieve, but the others I could pick up with ease and place in my hand. ‘What do you want me to do? I don’t have any skills. And there’s clearly only one thing you think I’m good at these days,’ Mum said, leering. She pulled at her top, exposing her décolletage. I focused on the glass again. I counted each piece in my hand. Thirty-six, thirty-seven, thirty-eight. On the fortieth piece, a shard broke through my skin, spilling bright red blood. Funny. I hadn’t thought my skin would be so thin. ‘Amy, you’re hurt!’ Mum pushed past Dad and came to kneel next to me. ‘What are you doing?’ She knocked my hand with her own, and the pieces of glass flew up into the air and landed back on the floor. All my efforts — ruined. ‘Let me see,’ Dad said.
‘Get the hell away from her!’ Mum yelled, raising her voice again.
‘Do we have to do this in front of Amy?’ Dad asked. I felt them turn to look at me. Did they think I hadn’t heard? That the fights they’d been having all day in the adjacent hotel room hadn’t resonated with a hatred that travelled through walls? ‘Please don’t,’ was all I could say. But it was enough. Dad left the room, and Mum tended to my hand, spilling some vodka to cleanse it before wrapping it in a spare t-shirt. ‘I’m sorry, baby,’ Mum whispered to me. ‘I promise, things are going to get better.’ Only they didn’t. They got much, much worse.

Friday five 26/07
yo

It's been a long while since I blogged and even more since I did a Friday five but I think it's a tradition that I'm going to get back to the blog.

 So here are my five of the week:

 1. It was our first week after vacation and the kids are still at home so it has been crazy but I'm very happy to be back. I love to be in my own space, being an introvert isn't good in an hotel full of people.

 2. I'm reading The Mortal Instruments. Yes I know I'm coming late to the party but I'm loving it. The characters and the world is so rich and interesting that I read the first 3 books in 4 and a half days!

 3. I miss writing, I need to revise DR but I need to concentrate for that because I want to change several things, the kids jumping around all the time doesn't help so I'm focusing right now on reading, editing others work and relaxing.

 4. I miss the Vampire Diaries. I need Damon Salvatore for inspiration! Bring him back now. I'm an addict!

 5. Last, I have to shout to the world that I just went to see Despicable me 2 a few days ago with the kids and again I found miself wanting my own minions. I know you want some too...

Pitcharama entry: Glowing Shadow
yo
Manuscript Title: Glowing Shadow
Author: Anabel Gonzalez
Age group: NA
Genre: Romance Urban Fantasy (series potential)
Word count:81,000
250 word blurb:

Nineteen-year-old empath Muriel thinks being a freaky genius who projects her feelings onto others is the worst curse possible. When she can’t control it, she channels depression to her sister who slits her wrists. Overwhelmed with guilt and wanting to protect her family from her curse, Muriel moves to Madrid, Spain. 

In Madrid, Muriel discovers her curse isn’t the worst that can happen. Shadowy creatures try to kill her by absorbing her soul, and she doesn’t know why. Creatures of light, called Luxben appear to help. With no one else to turn to, Muriel accepts their offer of shelter. Now Muriel is in the middle of an epic war that has been raging in the city for decades, without the human population noticing and between creatures that don’t even exist in fiction. What she desperately needs to know is why her soul is so special.

She shares an instant mutual attraction with the Luxben leader, Dalkiel, even though she sees his light is a dark glowing shadow. This attraction not only evolves into lust and love but into new gifts for both of them that they can’t explain.

As the shadow creatures escalate their efforts to find and murder Muriel, she learns that her ability isn’t a curse after all-- unless it’s the reason why Dalkiel won’t allow himself to love her. She has to convince him that their profound and passionate love is worth everything, even the blend of good and evil as they fight for her very soul.

Review Suddenly Royal by Nichole Chase
yo
I am going to start making reviews. I was afraid of doing them but now feel confident. I have to clarify I'm only going to review the books I love as a way to support the writers.

Today I’m going to talk about Suddenly Royal by Nichole Chase a New Adult Romance.



I love romance above all but not just any romance, a good romance. This book has a great romance, a believable romance. It doesn’t have triangles or misunderstandings that come because jealousy. It’s a love story where both parts are confident.

Also I have to say that Samantha’s voice is great. She’s a believable character with lots of layers and it’s very interesting to see her grow in life, to fight her fears and to become a Duchess.
The male interest Alex is awesome, mature, gentle but very sexy and a prince. You can’t ask more!

The story was good and showed in depth how Samantha suffered to become a royal.

I absolutely recommend this book for you, if you love romance, steamy romance this book is for you.

Goodreads blurb


Samantha Rousseau is used to getting her hands dirty. Working toward a master’s degree in wildlife biology while helping take care of her sick father, she has no time for celebrity gossip, designer clothes, or lazy vacations. So when a duchess from the small country of Lilaria invites her to dinner, Samantha assumes it’s to discuss a donation for the program. The truth will change the course of her life in ways she never dreamed.

Alex D’Lynsal is trying to keep his name clean. As crown prince of Lilaria, he’s had his share of scandalous headlines, but the latest pictures have sent him packing to America and forced him to swear off women—especially women in the public eye. That is, until he meets Samantha Rousseau. She’s stubborn, feisty, and incredibly sexy. Not to mention heiress to an estate in his country, which makes her everyone’s front-page news.

While Sam tries to navigate the new world of politics and wealth, she will also have to dodge her growing feelings for Alex. Giving in to them means more than just falling in love; it would mean accepting the weight of an entire country on her shoulders.

Now go read it, you'll love it!
