Modern Monsters ~ Cover Reveal

Modern Monstersby Kelley YorkRelease Date: 06/02/15Entangled Teen
Summary from Goodreads:Vic Howard never wanted to go to the party. He’s the Invisible Guy at school, a special kind of hell for quiet, nice guys. But because his best friend is as popular as Vic is ignored, he went…And wished he hadn’t.Because something happened that night. Something terrible, unimaginable. And now, the victim has told the police that Vic did it. Suddenly, Invisible Vic is painfully visible, walking through halls at school filled with hostility and violence seething just under the surface. Vic is determined to find out what really went down at that party, even if it means an uneasy alliance with the victim’s best friend, the beautiful but aloof Autumn Dixon.
But as Autumn and Vic slowly peel back the layers of what happened that night, they realize that while the truth can set Vic free, it can also shatter everything he thought he knew about his life…

About the Author
"I like unicorns and cats and games...and stuff..." - quality author quote by Kelley
Kelley York was born in central California, where she still resides with her lovely wife, step-daughter, and way too many cats, while fantasizing about moving to England or Ireland. (Or, really, anyplace secluded.) She has a fascination with bells and animals and Disney. Her life goal is to find a real unicorn. Or to at least write about them. She occupies her spare time with  video games , designing covers , playing on  Tumblr , and watching anime.
Kelley is a sucker for dark fiction. She loves writing twisted characters, tragic happenings, and bittersweet endings that leave you wondering and crying. She strives to make character development take center stage in her books because the bounds of a person's character and the workings of their mind are limitless.Author Links:  photo iconwebsite-32x32_zps1f477f69.png    photo icongoodreads32_zps60f83491.png    photo icontwitter-32x32_zpsae13e2b2.png    photo iconfacebook-32x32_zps64a79d4a.png

Nexis ~ Cover Reveal

Nexisby A.L. Davroe Release Date: 12/01/15Entangled Teen
Summary from Goodreads:In the domed city of Evanescence, appearance is everything. A Natural Born amongst genetically-altered Aristocrats, all Ella ever wanted was to be like everyone else. Augmented, sparkling, and perfect. Then...the crash. Devastated by her father's death and struggling with her new physical limitations, Ella is terrified to learn she is not just alone, but little more than a prisoner.
Her only escape is to lose herself in Nexis, the hugely popular virtual reality game her father created. In Nexis she meets Guster, a senior player who guides Ella through the strange and compelling new world she now inhabits. He offers Ella guidance, friendship...and something more. Something that allows her to forget about the “real” world, and makes her feel whole again.
But Nexis isn't quite the game everyone thinks it is.

And it's been waiting for Ella.

About the AuthorI write both YA and adult speculative fiction. I prefer revisionist tales in paranormal, romance, Steampunk, and fantasy. I'm the author of Salvation Station (adult psych horror), The City Steam Collection (adult psych horror), For Your Heart (YA Paranormal Romance) and my YA Sci-Fi novel, Nexis, is coming out with Entangled Publishing in 2015!
By day, I live in Connecticut with my two feline hench-creatures.  I'm a terrible blusher, have a weak spot for cuddly animals, love Laffy Taffy and Cadbury MiniEggs, and I'm a huge advocate of alternative healing methods.  I also wear Vibram five-finger toe shoes and corsets...Though not always in the same ensemble.  I'm a Capricorn, a Hufflepuff, and a few nuggets short of a Happy Meal.  I also suffer from Resting Bitchface Syndrome (RBS), so even though I might look like I'll tie you in a knot if you come near me, I'm more afraid of you than you are of me (see blushing problem above).

Red Blitz & Giveaway


Redby Alyxandra Harvey Release Date: March 2015Entangled Teen
Summary from Goodreads:Bad girls burn hot…

Red is the color of Kia Alcott's hair.
It's her temper, which blazes hot and always gets Kia into way too much trouble.
And it's the color of fire. Fires that Kia can start…just by thinking about them.

When her latest “episode” gets her kicked out of school, Kia is shipped off to her grandmother, who works for the wealthy Blackwoods. It's an estate shrouded in secrets, surrounded by rules, and presided over by a family that is far from normal…including the gorgeous and insolent Ethan Blackwood.

Ethan knows far more about the dangers of the forest surrounding the estate than Kia can ever imagine. For this forest has teeth, and Ethan is charged with protecting the outside world from its vicious mysteries.

But inside, even the most vibrant shade of red doesn't stand a chance against the dark secrets of the Blackwood family…

About the AuthorAlyxandra 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.Among her favourite books are ‘The Wood Wife’ by Terri Windling, ‘Jane Eyre’ by Charlotte Bronte, and of course, ‘Pride and Prejudice’ by Jane Austen. Elizabeth Bennet is her hero because she’s smart and sassy, and Mr. Darcy is, well, yum.
Aside from the ghosts, she also lives with husband and their dogs. She likes cinnamon lattes, tattoos and books.

Excerpt:

Lockwood Legacy Series

Langston Lockwood, or at least the shadow of who he had been in life, leaned against the front gate of the Rocking L and stared at his eldest daughter drinking coffee on the front porch.

He absent-mindedly pushed his hat back and scratched his head. It never occurred to him when he blew his brains out in the barn with his favorite pistol that he’d spend the afterlife with an itchy scalp.

“Morning, Boy,” an older man said, joining him at the gate.

“Morning, Daddy,” Langston replied.

Milton Lockwood pushed his own hat back on his forehead and stared at the granddaughter he never knew in life. “That one’s a Lockwood.”

“That she is,” Langston said. “I sure as hell was hard on her.”

“You were hard on everyone,” Milton said, turning his head to spit.

“I learned from the best,” Langston answered. “They’re surprising the hell out of me, those girls.”

“How’s that?”

“I figured the way I wrote the will they’d tear each other up like wildcats. Damned if they didn’t go make a family,” he said, disgust dripping off the words. “And now they’re taking up with men. Moving’em on the ranch. And Sister is talking about planting grapes. Goddamn grapes, like we was farmers or something. They even care about their Daddy doing grave spins?”

“You got a burr under your saddle this morning, Boy,” Milton said mildly. “You’re dead. You don’t call the shots on this place now any more than I do. That gal yonder is the boss of the Rocking L.”

“When did you get so even tempered?” Langston growled.

“I’ve been dead a hell of a lot longer than you have, Boy,” Milton observed. “Tends to make a feller kinda mellow.”

“They’re going up to Baxter’s Draw, Daddy,” Langston said. “It’s all gonna come out.”

“Like I said, Boy, you’re dead. Stuff comes out once you’re dead.”

“You know what I expected to find on this side, Daddy,” Langston said. “Everything I wanted was right under my damned nose all those years and I never knew it. Now those girls are going to find out everything I did.”

“That’s why men like you and me don’t rest in our graves, Boy,” Milton said sadly. “We have to watch the consequences of everything we did play out. I was a bastard of a father to you so you were a bastard to them.”

“That wasn’t the whole reason and you know it,” Langston said. “Who would have thought we’d get along better haunting this place than we ever did alive?”

They watched as Kate, her sisters, and three men mounted their horses and rode through the pasture gate headed up to Baxter’s Draw.

“Just because I’m dead doesn’t mean I don’t have my pride,” Langston said.

“We gonna go with’em?” Milton asked.

“I don’t think I can watch this, Daddy,” Langston said.

“Makes no difference to me,” Milton answered, spitting in the dirt again. “Not like I got any place to be.”

Don't miss out on the first book, Langston's Daughters, only .99 cents in ebook!

About the Author:

Juliette Harper is the pen name used by the writing team of Patricia Pauletti and Rana K. Williamson. Like the characters of their debut series, The Lockwood Legacy, Juliette is a merging of their creative energies.
Pauletti, an Easterner of Italian descent, is an accomplished musician with an eye for art and design. Williamson, a Texan from a long line of hardheaded Scots, knows the world of the Lockwoods like the back of her hand.

“We decided to write under a pen name because neither one of us by ourselves could have created Kate, Jenny, Mandy, and their world,” says Pauletti. “Juliette is a little bit of us both. We want to be her when we grow up.”

“Patti teases me that I just don’t want to own up to writing a book with romance in it,” Williamson adds, “but that’s not true. I like the Lockwood women and the way they tackle everything life throws at them. And before we’re done, they’ll be ducking a lot. I imagine coming into the office every day and saying, ‘Okay Juliette, what’s going to happen now?’ She tells us, and we get it down on paper.”

Purchase on Amazon: http://amzn.to/1aOXu9yThe Ring of Ice around Feyland has been shattered. The original Dark Fey, known in the mortal world, in the Land Beyond the Crystal River, as a bloodsucker, an undead, a vampire...Queen Neriti has entered, bringing with her the darkness of the human world. The world of magic will collide with the human world. Empress of Feyland, Breena Malloy, half-fey and half-human, will once again be forced to fight a war she is against...only this time, it will take place not only in Feyland, but also in the Land Beyond the Crystal River, otherwise known as the human world. Her love, King Kian of Feyland will fight besides her, along with her loyal Prince of Wolves, Logan. New allies will be formed, and new enemies revealed. Can the denizens of Feyland and Empress Breena trust the vampires and gifted humans on the trail of Queen Neriti? Jaegar Greystone, an ancient vampire with the beautiful Kalina Calloway, a human girl with vampire powers? Or are they part of Queen Neriti's evil plan for revenge against all? Ring of Ice is a full-length novel in a 3-book Trilogy called the Frost Worlds Trilogy: Beyond the Crystal River. It is a new series based on the characters from the Bitter Frost Series and from The PULSE Vampire Series.Check out where the Frost series began with Bitter Frost!Purchase on Amazon: http://amzn.to/1wgKP6BPurchase on B&N: http://bit.ly/1sgcGo6All her life, Breena had always dreamed about fairies as though she lived among them...beautiful fairies living among mortals and living in Feyland. In her dreams, he was always there the breathtakingly handsome but dangerous Winter Prince, Kian, who is her intended. When Breena turns sixteen, she begins seeing fairies and other creatures mortals don't see. Her best friend Logan suddenly acts very protective. Then she sees Kian, who seems intent on finding her and carrying her off to Feyland. That's fine and all, but for the fact that humans rarely survive a trip to Feyland, a kiss from a fairy generally means death to the human unless that human has fairy blood in them or is very strong, and although Kian seemed to be her intended, he seems to hate her and wants her dead.About Kailin GowWebsite Facebook TwitterKailin Gow's life is sometimes more fascinating and stranger than fiction, which is being chronicled in a feature film based on a treatment optioned and in development for a release date of 2018.
