The Return Giveaway 2
We’re getting closer and closer to the release of The Return! Meep. I have a teaser for you.
(click on pic to enlarge)
Some important information on The Return
Pre Order Bonus Scene
First up, many have asked for an Alex and Aiden scene, and for those of you who pre order The Return, you will receive a very special scene between those two. The Pre Order Bonus Scene is open internationally, through any vendor and includes the below signed print book orders. All you have to do is fill out THIS form between now and Feb. 18th with the required information and you will receive the bonus scene after Thursday, Feb. 19th. Please note: We are aware that B&N currently doesn’t have the nook version up for pre order. That is why this bonus scene campaign runs until the 18th. The nook version will appear on release date (the 16th) and as long as you fill out this form before the 18th, you’re good to go!
Releases Feb. 16, 2015
Signed copies of The Return and Wicked.
You can not order signed copies of the above books before Feb. 1st! The Return will be signed by me and the cover model Drew Leighty, and Wicked will be signed just by me. To order your signed copy, just go HERE
The Return is a spin off of the Covenant Series, but you do not need to read the Covenant Series to know what is going on. Sort of like with Obsession (a spin off of Lux that was released a while ago) this book stands alone in comparison. It is a first book in a series, but there is no cliffhanger.
And a giveaway for you. Up for grabs…
Contest is International
Author is not responsible for lost or damaged prizes
Winner must claim the prize w/in 48 hours of notification (via email)
Prizes cannot be swapped out for any other prize.
Contest ends 2/1/15 at 11:59pm EST

More books? Why Yes. More books.
I’ve had a couple of exciting things happen that I get to share with you guys!
First up, a lot of you have asked if I will offer signed copies of The Return and Wicked, and I’ve decided to go ahead and do that while I’m at Apollycon. I know that last online book order campaign turned out to be a hot mess, but the good news is that this online order campaign is being run by Damaris, who has ran all my other campaigns without any major problems.
If you want The Return signed/personalized by Drew (the cover model) and me, and/or Wicked signed by me, you can go HERE . This link also includes all the important information.
The cover for Scorched was also revealed, and guys, this is one of my favorite covers. Sarah Hansen from Okay Creations did an amazing job as usual. The cover will captures the theme, and I cannot wait for you guys to find out more about it.
Scorched Releases 6/16/2015
You can pre order the digital through iBooks as of now and the print through the normal vendors. Digital pre orders for Amazon and B&N and so on will be forthcoming.
But the title of this post is More Books? Yes. More books. Like roughly three more books.
Do you guys remember in the spring of last year when I held a contest where you could submit a name (any name, could be yours or whatever) to be a featured character in a novel that I was playing around with? The winners were Mallory Dodge (the lead female), and all of these people also won
Angela Dettloff submitted the name Ainsley Stewart
Alicia submitted the name Keira Hart
Paige submitted the name Paige Howard
Rosa Newport submitted the name Rosa Newport
Rhea Sawhney submitted the name Rhea Martinez
Well, guess what my peeples, that book idea from March of last year has come to fruition.
I’ve been getting asked recently if I will be writing more YA books since Every Last Breath that comes out in July 2015 is my last contracted YA book, and the answer is Yes. Yes, I will be writing more YA books!
Okay. That’s super small. Let me copy and paste for you.
#1 NYT bestselling author Jennifer Armentrout’s THE PROBLEM WITH FOREVER, in which two teens with a shared, traumatic past reconnect during their senior year in high school, and when his life spirals out of control, they rediscover just how much they need each other and just how strong she really is, to Margo Lipschultz at Harlequin Teen, in a significant deal, in a three-book deal, by Kevan Lyon at Marsal Lyon Literary Agency (World English).
Foreign: by Taryn Fagerness Agency
Dramatic/film: Brandy Rivers at ICM
Ah! Okay. Alright. Let me give you some info about all of this. The Problem With Forever is a contemporary young adult romance. It is a serious book. It still has the typical funny moments/banter, kissing (I mean, come on, I’m writing it, so yes, TONS of kissing… and stuff) and all that. The next two books will be companion novels, following other characters you meet in TPWF. The tentative publication for TPWF is Spring 2016, and of course, as we get closer to the release, more and more info will be shared. But this book… this book was one I’ve been wanting to write for a very, very long time.
A big thank you to Kevan Lyon for being the awesome agent that she is, for making this new series possible, and of course, a huge THANK YOU to Margo and the team at HQN Teen for believing in the series and wanting to be book friends with it. A special shout out to Danielle Ellison for helping me come up with the title all those many, many months ago. And thank you my author buds and book friends who knew what I was working on and sharing the excitement with me — Stacey, Wendy, Jen, Tiffany, Jay, Laura, Damaris, KP–to name a few. But most importantly, this series wouldn’t be happening if it weren’t for you, the readers. You’ve supported my books, making new books possible. Thank you.

Upcoming Releases
I thought I’d list out my 2015 releases that are currently up for pre order in some form or fashion. I repeat, this is only a list of those books that are up for pre order. At the end, I will list out books that don’t have a pre order yet. If a book is not listed, that means it will not be released this year or something along those lines.
BUT I DO.

Celebrating the New Year!
It’s the New Year, and I thought I’d kick 2015 off with a contest I’d never really done before.
But first, before we get into the goods, I wanted to take a moment to remind ya’ll about my next release.
The Return
February 16, 2015
Pre Order now!
The Fates are cackling their bony asses off…
It’s been a year since Seth made the deal with the gods that pledged his life to them. And so far, the jobs they’ve given him have been violent and bloody–which is kind of all right with him. But now Apollo has something else in mind for Seth. He’s got to play protector while keeping his hands and fingers off, and for someone who really has a problem with restraint, this new assignment might be the most challenging yet.
Josie has no idea what this crazy hot guy’s deal might be, but it’s a good bet that his arrival means the new life she started after leaving home is about to be thrown into an Olympian-sized blender turned up to puree. Either Josie is going insane or a nightmare straight out of ancient myth is gunning for her.
But it might be the unlikely attraction simmering between her and the golden-eyed, secret-keeping Seth that may prove to be the most dangerous thing of all.
Because history has once again been flipped to repeat.
***
The Return is a new adult spin off of my YA (Covenant) series, but it can be read without reading that series. You won’t be lost if you don’t want to tackle five books before February. It’s got action, mysterious, heaps of romance, and a whole lot of cuddle-bunny lovin’.
Now, to kick of 2015 with something fun, I’m giving away 19 signed books of mine, including an ARC of The Return and a limited Between the Covers edition. Yep. That’s 19 books. All signed. Plus some limited edition swag.
Contest is International

Wicked Giveaway 3!
Wicked is waiting for you!
Amazon (print and digital and audio is available)

Kobo
Things are about to get Wicked in New Orleans.
Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average college student. She, and others like her, know humans aren’t the only thing trolling the French Quarter for fun… and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life. After all, four years ago, she lost everything at the hands of the creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart apart.
Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes and a smile that’s surely left a stream of broken hearts in its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural ability to make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting him in is as dangerous as hunting the cold-blooded killers stalking the streets. Losing the boy she loved once before had nearly destroyed her, but the sparking tension that grows between them becomes impossible for Ivy to deny. Deep down, she wants… she needs more than what her duty demands of her, what her past has shaped for her.
But as Ivy grows closer to Ren, she realizes she’s not the only one carrying secrets that could shatter the frail bond between them. There’s something he’s not telling her, and one thing is for certain. She’s no longer sure what is more dangerous to her—the ancient beings threatening to take over the town or the man demanding to lay claim to her heart and her soul.

Wicked isn’t the only book coming out on the 8th, so is Breaking the Rules by Katie McGarry. And you guys know how much I love Katie’s books. Breaking the Rules is no different.
A summer road trip changes everything in this unforgettable new tale from acclaimed author Katie McGarry
For new high school graduate Echo Emerson, a summer road trip out west with her boyfriend means getting away and forgetting what makes her so . . . different. It means seeing cool sights while selling her art at galleries along the way. And most of all, it means almost three months alone with Noah Hutchins, the hot, smart, soul-battered guy who’s never judged her. Echo and Noah share everything—except the one thing Echo’s just not ready for.
But when the source of Echo’s constant nightmares comes back into her life, she has to make some tough decisions about what she really wants—even as foster kid Noah’s search for his last remaining relatives forces them both to confront some serious truths about life, love, and themselves.
Now, with one week left before college orientation, jobs and real life, Echo must decide if Noah’s more than the bad-boy fling everyone warned her he’d be. And the last leg of an amazing road trip will turn . . . seriously epic.
I also have a smexy excerpt from Breaking The Rules for you!
Noah lowers his arm away from my bra and instead snakes it around my waist, gathering me to his side. He nuzzles my hair before saying into his cell, “I’ll be there in a few minutes. Thanks.”
He ends the call and slides his phone back into his jeans. “Tell me I’m forgiven.”
“Who was that?” I ask.
In lightning-fast movements, Noah rolls us both, and his heavy weight pins me against the mattress. “Say I’m forgiven.”
“For what?” My brain goes blank. Noah’s on top of me, and subconsciously my legs hook around his. Through his jeans and my jean shorts there are parts of him that are sweetly touching parts of me.
We haven’t made love yet. I think of it. I dream of it. Sometimes I wake up so on edge that I worry I’ll explode, but when it comes to it, I haven’t found the courage to cross the line. And Noah’s always patient…so patient.
“For upsetting you this morning,” he answers. “Tell me I’m forgiven.”
I nod because I love him, and I can’t imagine not forgiving him. “Just don’t do it again.”
Noah rests his forehead against mine and closes his eyes as if I handed him a death row pardon. “I love you, Echo.”
The pterodactyls that only he can create lift their wings and soar in my stomach. I love those words out his mouth. Almost as much as I love his hands on my body and the way his eyes devour me. Almost as much as I love him.
***
Mmm. Noah.
But that’s not all!
I’m giving away a signed copy of Pushing the Limits, Dare You To, Crash Into You, and Take Me On.
