Spotlight On: Witch Hunter Olivia

Witch Hunter Olivia by TA Kunz - Release Day Blitz


In the town of Piedmont Pointe, where paranormal is the norm, a girl can easily get herself in over her head with a single wrong move. Unfortunately for Olivia Adams, she’s about to make several.


Starting over is never easy, but it seemed like the only option to Olivia. The decision to turn her back on the Guild of Witch Hunters, the very group she devoted her entire life to, was one of the hardest things she ever did. It meant leaving her family, her friends, and her old identity behind forever. Coming to terms with what caused her to abandon her duties in the first place was even harder.


While trying to lay low and stay off the Guild’s radar, Olivia finds herself thrust back into her old ways after unknowingly interrupting an assassination hit on a powerful witch. What follows is the last thing she ever thought she’d agree to do—protect the very thing she was groomed to hunt.


To complicate things even further, Olivia begins to develop feelings for a tattoo artist who also happens to be half warlock, and no matter how hard she tries to fight it, she can’t resist her inescapable draw to him. Olivia’s forbidden relationship isn’t her only issue though, because once the mystery behind the assassination attempt starts to unravel, she’s forced to choose sides when the loyalties still tied to her past life are tested again.


So much for the idea of a fresh start.

Shapeshifters ~ #MySexySaturday Blog Hop

MSS_button 250x250


Welcome to the My Sexy Saturday blog hop! This week, writers are joining in with seven words, seven sentences, or seven paragraphs from their works.


This week’s hop is all about shifters. And I have a work in progress that’s all about shifters, so I’m joining in with an excerpt from that work! Take a moment to read the excerpt below, then HOP to check out the rest of the sexy snippets!


_____________________________________________


Excerpt


I glanced up and drew in a breath to speak, to encourage Lily to verbalize what she knew, but the words never left my mouth.


Lily’s doctor stood framed in the doorway, a half-smile arrested on his face, his light brown eyes wide as he stared at me in shock.


The smell of him filled the room—almost spicy, and utterly terrifying. I froze, but the muscles under my skin rippled. Oh, hell. I knew what that meant. He smelled like danger, and I was about to shift.


I sucked the air in quickly and flicked my tongue out across my lips. His scent flowed through my mouth; he tasted like heat, but not like prey. Like threat. The room swung into shades of gray and I blinked quickly to keep him from seeing the slitted pupils of my partially shifted eyes.


I closed my mouth and breathed deeply through my nose, focusing on the human part of me. I glanced down at the floor and waited for the colors to come flooding back. Once I was in control of my senses, I looked back up at him.


He shuddered and seemed to shake himself out of his immobility.


The whole thing couldn’t have lasted for more than a few seconds, but I was drenched in sweat.

Spotlight On: Tortured Souls, by Kimberly Wheaton























Tortured Souls (Orion Circle #1)

by Kimber Leigh Wheaton





Release Date: July 2014




Summary from Goodreads:

Sometimes Rest in Peace isn’t an option.




Kacie Ramsey sees ghosts—and it’s ruining her life. Her mother left, her father blames her, and no matter how hard she tries, she can’t keep the ghosts away. Now a new power has emerged. Nightly visions of grisly murders and a relentless predator draw her to the brink of insanity.




When the phantom appears at a party, Kacie’s longtime crush, Logan, saves her. He invites her to join the Orion Circle, a group of supernatural hunters with chapters in schools all over the country. Through the Circle, Kacie learns to embrace her spiritual powers, and for the first time in her life she feels in control rather than a victim.




But the Foxblood Demon will not give up so easily. A demented serial killer in life who trapped the souls of the thirteen children he murdered, imprisoning them within the walls of his mansion. Now in death, he plots his return while drawing power from the pure souls of the children. He recognizes something in Kacie he’s never seen before—a medium powerful enough to provide a vessel for his tainted soul.




Kacie can’t ignore the tortured souls of the children crying out to her every night. With Logan at her side, she will fight the Foxblood Demon. But can they banish this powerful phantom, or will Kacie lose not only her body, but her eternal soul to the monster.

Excerpt from Chapter Eleven ~ Romance on the River Walk


“Careful, the stone walkway is a bit uneven,” he says, taking my hand. “It’s easy to navigate during the day, but without light…” he trails off as we walk farther from the lights of the building.


The path ends, and we hike across a grassy expanse leading to the River Walk. Light from the nearby building filters through the leaves above us creating a speckled pattern on the shadowed grass. Roots from the large oak trees have broken through the ground, almost impossible to see in the darkness. When I trip over one my face flushes, and I mutter a curse at my clumsiness. Logan chuckles before righting me so we can continue. Within seconds he trips over another root from the same tree. We both stumble a few steps then break out in laughter.


“You don’t think the tree is out to get us do you?” he asks as he glares up at it.


I giggle when he kicks the root with his hiking boot. He moves closer until he’s inches from my face, close enough that I can see his eyes in the faint light under the tree.


“We’re almost to the retaining wall. I didn’t consider homicidal tree roots when I chose to walk this way. Sorry.”


“I love the trees,” I comment. He takes my hand leading me through the old tree’s maze of roots. “I’m glad these businesses didn’t just tear down the old oak trees. How old do you think this one is?” I ask, running my hand along the rough trunk.


“No idea,” he says, stopping to gaze up at the tree. “I bet it’s been witness to a lot through the years.”


As we continue the hike to the river, he puts his arm around my shoulders, and I snuggle against his side. At the bottom of the grassy hill a four foot retaining wall keeps the earth from slipping onto the path running along the river. Logan jumps down then holds his arms up to me, grabbing me around the waist to help me down the wall. My arms fly around his neck as I jump down, and I end up in his arms pressed against his firm chest. As he lowers my feet to the ground, I breathe in the scent of his leather jacket and spicy aftershave. Once I’m back on the ground, I expect him to release me, but his arms stay wrapped around my body holding me against him.


My face is still buried in his shoulder, and I lift my chin to glance at him. He grins at me, a cute half-smile, while his eyes sparkle in the golden light from a nearby lantern. I focus on his lips as he closes the distance between us.


His lips meet mine—soft and warm, the kiss achingly tender. My eyes flutter closed and my hand moves up to those curls I’ve been dying to touch. He releases a soft sigh as my fingers caress the nape of his neck and tips his head to deepen the kiss. My lips part under the gentle pressure of his tongue, granting him entrance.


His hand moves from my back to my neck, and he buries his fingers in my hair. I let out a breathy moan, completely lost to the sensations. He uses my hair to tip my head back then trails searing kisses down my chin to my neck.


When he pulls his lips away from my neck, he continues to hold me in his arms for several moments while gazing into my eyes. My lips tingle, and I cling to his arms, feeling a bit lightheaded. After a few silent moments, he takes my hand, and we stroll along the river. I feel like I’m floating while my mind replays our first kiss over and over. No matter how I look at it, the kiss was perfect in every way.

Spotlight and Review: Jessie, by Rebekah Lyn

In Jessie, Rebekah Lyn takes the larger-than-life story of NASA’s space race and brings it down to earth by telling it through the eyes of one teenage boy who dreams of becoming an astronaut.


The novel opens in 1961 in a Florida schoolyard, where Jessie Cole anxiously watches the sky for the latest rocket launch just down the beach from him. This opening scene sets the tone for much of the book, a story about a boy yearning for a different life—both as an astronaut headed to space, and, more prosaically, simply away from his abusive, alcoholic father. The intertwining of Jessie’s life with the development of the NASA space program is particularly effective, illustrating both an individual life and an entire culture developing, facing setbacks, and overcoming obstacles.


Lyn does a great job of capturing not only the joy and innocence of the era, but also the darker subtext of pain and loss that came with every stride forward. The book culminates with the walk on the moon, as seen through Jessie’s eyes—and ends on the same high note of exhilaration felt by the entire nation at that moment.


Lyn has promised that Jessie’s story isn’t over; I can’t wait to read the next installment!

Jessie by Rebekah Lyn


The four Cole boys suffer abuse at the hands of an alcoholic father, while largely being left to their own devices by a heartbroken and overworked mother. Their adventures on their island home have become a welcome escape, and one of the only things in life the boys can truly rely on. Jessie, the youngest and a dreamer, becomes enamored with US plans for manned space flight and its race to the moon, stirring his own dreams of one day becoming an astronaut. In a strange twist of fate, it is the space program and the momentum it gains that abruptly brings their beloved island life to an end. The family is forced to move to the city and start anew.


Life in town creates new challenges, financial pressures, news of the Vietnam War and the impending threat of the military draft for Max the eldest of the Cole brothers.


3d cover Jessie copy


EXCERPT

Set Back

April 25, 1961



Jessie stood at the edge of the playground with two other boys, anxious for the next space launch. Recess would be over any minute. There would be no time for a hold in the countdown. Two weeks earlier the Russians had announced the successful launch of Yuri Gagarin into space. Once again the Americans had been left behind but today’s launch would hopefully be the last before America put their own man into space.


Jessie held his breath as the rocket appeared above the trees. Then it happened. The plume of white smoke erupted into a fiery ball, debris flying in all directions. Jessie didn’t wait for the teacher’s frantic call to take shelter in the school. He shook his head and turned his back on the carnage. At the door, the teacher gently laid a hand on his shoulder and gave him a sympathetic look. Any other day and Jessie might have resented it, but he knew, today, it had nothing to do with his father and the reputation he’d developed for himself the past couple of years.


When school was out, Jessie dragged his feet along the familiar path home. He kept walking when he came upon his brothers, his head down, watching the sand shift beneath his worn-out sneakers.


“I heard the explosion.” Max draped an arm over Jessie’s shoulders. “Sorry.”


Jessie nodded.


“Maybe we should go out to the beach, see if we can find any pieces,” Ricky suggested.


The thought turned Jessie’s stomach, but then he stopped. “That’s not a bad idea. I’d like to have something to remember we at least tried to get to space.”


“Don’t talk like that,” Sam said. “We’ll get there, it’s just going to take time.”


Jessie knew Sam was trying to be encouraging, and so attempted a smile of thanks before shifting course across the large field of scrub grass.


The boys spread out when they reached the beach. The tide was low but turning. Jessie took the section closest to the water, knowing the rising tide would cover it in another hour. The salty tang of sea spray filled his nostrils and he inhaled, while his eyes and ears locked away every detail of the sand and surf.


He saw a flash of light ten feet ahead and quickened his pace, keeping his eyes on the spot. The ocean foamed up, then slowly retreated. Jessie squatted down to find a silver and black triangle, partially buried in the sand. Another wave rushed toward him, splashing over his feet and soaking the bottom of his shorts. He held onto the metal afraid the undertow would pull it out to sea. When the water receded, Jessie pulled the debris free of the remaining sand. It was five inches tall and three wide. Turning it over in his hands he noted scorch marks and part of what he thought might be the letter U or A from the USA painted on the side of the rocket.


“Guys,” he waved to his brothers.


Max arrived first. “What’d you find?”


Jessie handed him the piece of metal.


“Cool.” Ricky joined them and reached for the newfound treasure.


“Good job, Jess.” Sam clapped his brother on the back. “I didn’t think we’d find anything that big.”


Jessie reached for the metal and traced the rough edges. “You don’t think they will give up do you?”


Sam shook his head. “Since the Russians have gotten into space already, I don’t see how we can give up now.”


“I hope they don’t.” Jessie tore his gaze away from his find and looked at his brothers. “I want to be an astronaut.”


Max laughed. “You can’t be an astronaut.”


“Why not?”


“Cause you gotta have money to be an astronaut. You don’t think Shepard and Grissom and all those other guys are dirt poor do you?”


“Maybe they’re not dirt poor, but they aren’t filthy rich. They were chosen because they were in the military and had good records.”


“So you gonna enlist when you turn eighteen? We’ll probably still be in that dag gum Vietnam and you’ll go and get yourself killed the first day in the jungle.”


“Nuh-huh. I know how to take care of myself. I hide from you in the woods all the time.” Jessie balled his hands into fists and planted his feet.


Sam stepped between them. “Cool it, Max. If Jessie wants to be an astronaut, then maybe he can be. Lots of things are changing.”


Max snorted. “Yeah, and I could be President.”


“If that happens, then I’m moving to Mexico,” Ricky quipped.


Jessie laughed and unclenched his fists. Yet again Sam had brokered peace without anyone coming to blows. Maybe Sam was the one who would become President.


Sam stepped back. “Let’s head home.”


“Did you hear Mom and Pop got another letter from the government yesterday?” Max asked as they walked along the hard packed sand.


“About what?” Jessie asked, turning up the beach, shuffling through the soft sand to a well-worn path across the dunes. Thick saw palmettos, sea grapes, and sea oats grew on either side of the path, slowly thinning as the boys moved farther from the beach.


“About buying our land. They want to expand the missile complex more. They’ve been buying up all the land around here.” Max swatted at a dragonfly buzzing around his head.


“But they already have so much land, what do they need more for?” Jessie ducked under the wispy needles of an Australian Pine tree, his brothers close behind.


“How’m I supposed to know? I didn’t see the letter, I just heard them arguing about it after we went to bed. Mom wants to take their offer, but Pop doesn’t want to move.”


“I don’t want to move either,” Ricky agreed. “I like being close to the beach and huntin’ in the woods.”


“I don’t think we have much choice. Sounded like the government letter said we take the offer or they’ll just take the land away from us.”


“They can’t do that,” Jessie cried. “We’ve lived here forever.”


“Not forever, you moron,” Max sneered. “Mom and Pop only moved here during the war, when Pop got assigned to the Banana River Naval Air Station.”


“Still, that’s practically forever.” Jessie let his fingers run through the thin pine needles as they emerged from the copse of trees into a clearing.


“There are families that have lived here since the 1800s and they’re being bought out too. I don’t think the government is going to consider our twenty years here more important,” Sam replied.


Jessie rolled his eyes. Leave it to Sam to know the history of the island.


“But they can’t just take our land,” Jessie insisted.


“Yes, they can, it’s called eminent domain. If they can prove to the court that private property is needed for public use and fair compensation has been offered, the court will likely rule in favor of the government.”


“But this isn’t public use,” Ricky interjected.


“Yes and no.” Sam leaned forward, obviously warming to the subject. “A public park isn’t being created, but the research being conducted and the satellites being launched are for the public good. Plus, the government will probably be able to make a pretty good case for public safety. Think about how close this piece of the rocket landed to our house. The government can use this incident and the others before as evidence of danger to the people still living on this end of the island.”


“All right, professor, we get it, but it still doesn’t mean I want to move,” Ricky interrupted.


Up ahead, Jessie could see the orange grove that bordered their land, and glanced back over his shoulder. He couldn’t see the beach through the trees, but it had taken less than five minutes to stroll home. Sam was right. This one had been a little too close for comfort.

Cover Reveal: Of River and Raynn, by Rebecca Ethington



Have you met River and Raynn yet? 


It’s time to get lost in a new world.

















They found me when I was five; a little girl sitting on a bench in Grand Central Station, soaking wet, asking about the rain.


I remembered nothing about how I got there, or who my parents were. I couldn’t even remember my name. I was tagged, labeled and doomed to cycle through state care for the next twelve years; moving from one family to another. They all rejected me as the dreams began to come, the memories began to return, and things around me began to explode.


Now my mind is full of a world of shadows, things that my heart pleads with me to be true, that I hope are only fantasy. That the disturbing past I see is not mine.


When I sleep I hear whispers of magic, and of evil queens, and a world that exists alongside our own. Things that could never be. But, there is one thing I know to be true. That there was a boy who was torn from me. A boy that I know means more to me than a brother, or than a lover. But what he is to me, I am not sure. I hear him cry for me in my dreams, I hear people call him The Catalyst.


I know I need to find him.


I wouldn’t have tried, if I would have known that finding River, would have made all my dreams turn into a haunting reality.

More about UNLEASHED:








UNLEASHED is the first book in Emily Kimelman’s best selling Sydney Rye series of mysteries.




 




When the series begins Sydney Rye is named Joy Humbolt. She does not like people telling her what to do, so it comes as no surprise that she was just fired from her last job. When she buys Charlene Miller’s dog-walking business on Manhattan’s exclusive upper east side, it seems like the perfect fit: Quiet environment, minimal contact with people.




 




 




 




But then one of her clients turns up dead, and Charlene disappears. Rumors say Charlene was having an affair with the victim–and of course, everyone assumes Joy must know where she is. Joy begins to look into the crime, first out of curiosity then out of anger when there is another murder and threats start to come her way.




 




 




 




When police detective Mulberry is assigned to the case, Joy finds a kindred spirit–cynical and none-too-fond of the human race. As they dig deep into the secrets of Manhattan’s elite, they not only get closer to the killer but also to a point of no return. One last murder sends Joy Humbolt hurtling over the edge. Her only chance of survival is to become Sydney Rye.
