Cover Reveal by Cambria Hebert
Happy Weekend!
Today we have an exclusive sneak peek of an upcoming book for you by the lovely Cambria Hebert!
Title: Recalled
Series: Death Escorts

Genre: Young Adult Romance with paranormal, thriller and mystery elements
Release Date: February 15, 2013
Format: Will be available in Print and Ebook
publisher: Cambria Hebert
A little info about the series:
Death Escorts is a new series from the author of the Heven and Hell series. This series is unique because each book acts as a stand alone, meaning that you don’t have to read all the books in order to understand each of them. They are all based off of the same idea (that idea being the characters are all Death Escorts) and will have some of the same characters in each book. The series is for young adults and beyond and encompasses the elements of romance, thriller, paranormal and fantasy. You will not see vampires, shifters, witches, fae or any type of those kinds of characters in this series.
Synopsis:
Love or Death? A simple question really. The choice seems obvious. But. What if you never knew love, what if your life was spent just trying to survive? What if you knew your fate before you were fully grown?
And then you died.
And you were given another chance. A better chance.
This new life depended upon one thing: your job. And so you agreed. You thought it would be simple. You thought it would be cut and dry.
It never is.
And now you are left holding the fate of someone else in the palm of your hand and you have to make the ultimate choice.
Love or Death?

Recently appointed as Death, Gabriel’s life can’t get much worse. His underworld is in shambles, and he’s racing demons to collect souls in the human world. To add to his mess, he discovers that his predecessor raised an unwelcome Immortal from the dead, one who threatens the Immortal Council that his friend, the Ancient Rhyn, is trying to hold together. When the underworld shuts Gabriel out, he’s convinced he’s hit rock bottom. Until he meets her, and he realizes things can get worse. Much worse.
Now in human form, Deidre – Gabriel’s predecessor and long-time tormenter – is dying from a brain tumor. Rather than mourn, she decides to enjoy the rest of her short life by checking off every box on her bucket list. Little does she suspect that a weekend getaway to the beach will throw her into the hands of Death himself and overturn everything she knows about her world. Deidre has no idea who she was in her past life, but she must learn fast, or she’ll never understand why the Immortals, demons and Death alike are after her. The secret is buried in her head, and the only way to uncover it will kill her.
To survive, she must reach the wounded man behind the mask of Death and show him that the world is filled with more than tragedy and pain.

Book Feature Thea Atkinson
Happy Friday and congratulations on surviving another apocalypse!
Today’s feature is by author Thea Atkinson.
First up we give you, Water Witch.
Synopsis:
If a witch can’t control her own powers, someone will try to control her.
ALAYSHA is a unique witch jaded from the killing she has been asked to do for her megalomaniac father. Taught to love no one and see people only as targets, she becomes embroiled in a battle that forces her to see things differently. But has finding love only taken her into deeper waters of power and manipulation?
Water Witch is the first in a new adult fiction series that combines historical fantasy with adventure and paranormal romance. It takes the reader on a journey of magic, strong female characters, and of course a touch of steamy romance that will resonate with women of all ages. In a world where magic is a liability to those warriors who possess it, sometimes the only rescue is love.

Author Bio:
Thea Atkinson writes character driven fiction to the left of mainstream; call it what you will: she prefers to describe her work as psychological dramas with a
distinct literary flavour. Her characters often find themselves in the darker edges of their own spirits but manage to find the light they seek.
She has been an editor, a freelancer, and a teacher, but fiction is her passion. She now blogs and writes and twitters. Not necessarily in that order.
