Flawed

Flawed by Cecelia Ahern


I listened to the book Flawed this weekend while I drove here and there, did chores and cooked. I listened on a Playaway from the library. What a great way to listen to books. I'd love for my books to be on a Playaway....maybe someday.



My thoughts:

Love the cover.
This book was clean- no swearing or sex.
This book was violent and shocking.
This book kept my attention more than 1/2 the time.
It was dark.
I loved the reader-she was excellent.
This book ended with a cliffhanger- I did not see the conclusion to any story arc, though, which was disappointing. It was like they simply split the book in two.
Will I read the next book? Maybe. If I have time or happen to see it in a Playaway at the library.

What are you reading right now?
My next Playaway is an oldie but I hear, goodie-Pendragon

 Keep reading!

Shattered Worlds: THE PERILOUS IN-BETWEEN by Cortney Pearson


Shattered Worlds features Cortney Pearson's THE PERILOUS IN-BETWEEN!



The Perilous In-Between
A Steampunk Romance by Cortney Pearson
Even the sky has secrets.

Victoria Digby’s life in Chuzzlewit is picturesque. Ideal. Born to a good family, she’s also the star pilot in the Aviatory’s Protection Program, one of twelve young ladies assigned to protect their town from the Kreak—a deadly, mechanical creature residing in the nearby ocean.

Enter Graham Birkley, a peculiar boy claiming to be from a strange place Victoria has never heard of. Graham enlists her help looking for a lost friend, a man no one in town has ever heard of either. The more she gets to know Graham, the more she not only loses her heart, but also all sense of security about the life she thought she loved. Graham knows secrets about people, things he couldn’t possibly know, including a secret about Victoria that she has yet to uncover.

Mostly, Graham knows what the sky is hiding. And when he tells her the truth, getting rid of the Kreak is no longer Victoria’s biggest problem.


Getting out of Chuzzlewit is.
Exclusive Teaser!

Shattered Worlds . Liz Long


Shattered Worlds features Liz Long's A REAPER MADE!



A Reaper Made
A Paranormal Romance by Liz Long
Grace had finally gotten used to her new afterlife as a "Made" - a Reaper who used to be human. When Made Reapers and souls begin disappearing, however, Grace and her mentor Tully suspect demons. Grace's worst fears are confirmed when her sister's soul is threatened.
She'll have to break every rule in the Reaper book to save them, including using a little magic to become temporarily human. With the help of Tully and her witchy friend Tessa, Grace goes undercover on a college campus to save the fates of kidnapped souls. What she didn't count on was the boy who makes her laugh like no other, who makes her feel alive again and question her existence. With her own soul in peril, Grace realizes that demons aren't working alone. Betrayal and distrust runs deep and Grace discovers that sometimes even Reapers are prone to humanity.
Exclusive Teaser!

Despite Matt's protest, his playful tone had me going along with it. I made a show of glancing around. Leaning in, I whispered, “They’re not going to kill us, are they?” 
“I sure hope not,” he said, turning serious as he met my gaze, “because I don’t want to die before I get to kiss you.” 
His response silenced me and he took that as his cue. He came forward until his nose gently bumped mine. Warmth radiated off him and at that point, Tully could’ve popped up to reprimand me and I wouldn’t have cared. All I wanted was Matt’s lips on mine. I got my wish. 
When I didn’t pull away, Matt placed his hands on either side of my face, deepening the kiss. I let him in, enjoying the sensation of feeling alive. When he finally pulled away, he looked as dazed as I felt. 
“Wow,” he whispered. 
A flush crept up up my neck at his reaction, but inside every bit of me seemed to glow from satisfaction. 
“Can we do that again?” he asked. 
A giggle escaped me and I nodded. I spent the next hour lost in his eyes and lips.

Shattered Worlds features Kristy Tate's THE PIRATE EPISODE!



The Pirate Episode
YA Time Travel
Cambria Brandt, a senior at Norfolk High, juggles homework assignments, tennis practice, and her overprotective mother, all while struggling to conceal her crush on Dr. Fleur, her biology teacher. But one sip of the witching well water makes all her concerns disappear. 

Flung into the intrigues of the American Revolutionary War, Cami discovers a have on Ile du Ciel, the private island of the pirate Captain Phillip La Fleur. Distress and suspicion soon blossom into romance, luring Cami to a life of ease she could never have imagined. But when Dr. Fleur comes in search of her, Cami finds herself torn between two men, two centuries, and two very different futures. 

From a modern day New England high school to the Caribbean Islands, The Pirate Episode is a romantic adventure that proves love knows no time. 


Exclusive Excerpt!

Cambria Brandt stood in the doorway holding her tennis racquet, smiling at him in that knowing way that he found so frustrating on an eighteen-year-old girl. She always looked at him as if she could read his thoughts, which would be disastrous for his position at the school if she really could.
“Ah, Cambria, I hadn’t heard you come in.”
“I think I left my book in here.” She looked past him and pointed to her fifth period chair. “There it is.”
Smiling, she moved past him, smelling earthy and sweat. The air around her moved. He could practically feel the molecules rearranging themselves, welcoming her into his space. Typically he didn’t notice what women—girls, he corrected himself—wore, but he found Cambria’s too-short tennis skirt and tank top hard to ignore.
Because he couldn’t indulge in such thoughts about Cami—or any of his students—Joel strode to his microscope. The bottle of water from the Witching Well sat on the counter. He had forgotten about that. He picked it up, intending to throw it away.
“I heard your sister is getting married,” Cambria said, pausing beside him.
Joel cleared his throat. “Yes.”
“And that she’s going to be running the dress shop out of your grandmother’s house.”
“Yes,” he repeated, adjusting his glasses so that he could see her better. Damn. Why did she have to look like that? Long blond curly hair, damp with sweat. Flushed skin. Shining eyes.
“I think it’s so cool. All the girls love Delia’s Dress Shop. I can’t wait to see her wedding dress. Celia is so talented.”
Joel nodded, cursing himself for social ineptitude and his inappropriate thoughts. She’s a kid, he berated himself. Get a grip.
Waving her hand in front of her flushed face, she nodded at the water bottle in his hand. “Can I have a drink? Do you mind?” She reached for it and her fingers brushed his. Tingles shot up his arm.
Cambria unscrewed the lid. “The water fountain on the courts is still broken.”
“Um, that’s not—” Joel began.
But Cambria didn’t stop to listen. “Don’t worry. I won’t put my lips on it,” she said. Tipping her head back, she poured the water from the Witching Well into her mouth.
The tennis racquet, water bottle and book fell with a clatter as Cambria vanished.

Salt Lake Comic Con: The Good. The Bad. The Ugly? Part 1

Salt Lake Comic Con
The Good. The Bad. The Ugly.

 I'm never sure if I should lead with the good or the bad, but this time, I'll go with the saying and start with the good. I'll most likely end with the good too if that's okay. I'd hate to leave Comic Con on a sour note.

#1 How could you not love an event that gives people an excuse to dress up?

I wore my Tinker Bell T-shirt
and look who shows up.
This Snow White even spoke in that
high-pitched voice from the movie
Love a fun Cowboy play on
Harry Potter
Can we just say, Yum?
After seeing this beauty, I couldn't
get bibity bobity boo out of my
head for hours 
Anime and Manga definitely dominated
this Comic Con

#2 the FANS

As authors, we are there for the fans. Meeting and signing books for those who love them is the best ever. I'm terrible at remembering to take pics. The first day, I didn't take a single one. I went the second day determined to get a bunch.  So, I got a few. :) 

And this little beauty is the niece
of one of my friends and guess
what?
She loves my books.
Selfie time.




Do you know this crazy dude?
#3 Fan-girling over awesome authors

This is Ally Carter. Can you believe it? She was so
incredibly nice. And guess what? She's working on
a stand-alone....
I also got a pic with Kiersten White who has my same awesome agent, but
alas, I can't find it. Maybe my dog ate it. 


The one author I'd love to have met? Hmmm. Sarah J. Maas would
top my list.

Comic Con was a fun, wild ride this year. Can't wait for next year.  

P.S. The Bad is coming on the next post...I've rambled on too long already.  
Peace!
