Marni (wonderwmn999) The group has been approached by author Derrolyn Anderson for a Read 4 Review of her book The Athena Effect (The Athena Effect, #1) by Derrolyn Anderson . The Athena Effect.

Country girl Cali has been kept a secret her entire life, raised in isolation by two very troubled people. Despite her parent’s disturbing fits, Cal is perfectly content, living at one with the nature that surrounds her, and finding adventure inside the pages of her beloved books. When an awful tragedy tears her away from her remote cabin in the woods, nothing she’s ever read has prepared her for a world that she knows very little about.

Girls and motorcycles are what bad-boy Cal’s life is all about. Brought up in a raucous party house by his biker brother, he’s free to do as he pleases, going through the motions on his final days of high school. Aimless, Cal stopped thinking about his future a long time ago.

Attacked by a gang of thugs while running an errand for his brother, Cal is in serious trouble until a fierce girl appears out of nowhere to intervene. She chases off three grown men, sparing Cal a brutal beating before disappearing into the night like a spirit. He can’t stop thinking about his mysterious rescuer, and when she turns out to be the weird new girl at school who goes out of her way to avoid him, he can’t contain his curiosity.

He’s never met anyone like her before, and the more he learns about the unusual girl who shares his nickname, the more he wants to know. Cal can’t help falling for Cal, but can he keep her from falling victim to a dangerous enemy from her parent’s tragic past?


The author will be giving out 30 copies through Smashwords. What this means is, no matter what kind of ereader you have you can place a request. Awesome! To request, please post your email address here and I will email you the coupon code for this book. The code is good for only a short time, so don't wait to the last minute to redeem! In exchange for the free book, the author requests an honest review of his book not just on Goodreads, but also on Smashwords and Amazon/Barnes & Noble if available to you.

Anyone in our group can sign up for this, you have 3 weeks to read than post your review. Reviews are required to be posted on Goodreads. If you have accounts with Amazon and/or Barnes & Noble, the author requests you also post there too. Once you are finished with your review and have posted it on Goodreads, you are REQUIRED to post a link to it on this thread.

Even though this book is being gifted to you please do not share it with anyone. It is unethical and disrespectful to share books provided to you for reviews. DO NOT GIVE THE COUPON CODE OUT TO ANYONE AND DO NOT USE IT FOR ANYONE BUT YOURSELF.

Further Info from the group, not the author: If you do not complete the e-book within the time given, and you do not post your link on this thread or I do not hear from you stating that you intend to finish and review the book, you will not be allowed to participate in future Read 4 Review events. Members can only be signed up for 2 books at a time and MUST complete those reviews before signing up for another R4R. This is to prevent people from getting complimentary books over and over without fulfilling their obligation.

Do not message me nor the author requesting the book. All info is to be posted here. This for the ease of the author and the mods and fairness to all. If you do not wish to share your email publicly, please do not request.

If there are any other authors looking to do this with our group, please message me. You MUST be willing to provide copies, free of charge, to the reviewers.

Deadline for review is 11:59pm EST on 3/5/13 (March 5th).

REVIEWERS: PLEASE read the topic titled "Reviewers." All the rules are listed under there. We will not allow any excuses of "I didn't know" because the rules are listed and if you have any questions you can always message me.

Marylene | 38 comments I would like to take a stab at it. I've never done a Read for Review, but the book sounds awesome and I will do my best to give a good review. Are there still any copies left? marylene314@aol.com if so.

Marni (wonderwmn999) 2 copies left!


Marylene | 38 comments Does anyone know how to move the book onto my nook? I downloaded it in smashwords and I have it saved on my desktop. I've never moved a book onto my nook from my computer.


message 41: by Marni (new) - added it

Marni (wonderwmn999) Which Nook do you have?


Marylene | 38 comments If not, what's the best way to open it up on my computer. I have a brand new windows 8 based computer. I'm not very good with it.


message 43: by Marni (new) - added it

Marni (wonderwmn999) Again...which Nook do you have?


Marylene | 38 comments I'm sorry. I hadn't refreshed my screen, so I kept trying in the meantime. I have the discontinued Nook Color of course...lol. Gotta love technology. Anyway, I ended up figuring it out. It just doesn't save to "my books/library". It went to "my stuff/my files". :-) Thanks for almost offering if I ever answered your question.


Marylene | 38 comments It's now almost midnight and I have to work in the a.m., so I guess I won't be starting it tonight after all. I can't wait to try my first R2R.


Elise (redentrapy) Thanks got it. Can't wait to start it. I'm finishing Reassigned (Codename Fairy Godmother, #1) by Tanjlisa Marie right now and then I'll start on this one.


Brenda (brendareads) | 151 comments Done. Here's my review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I've posted it (with small alterations) on Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon as well. I really truly loved this book and I'm definitely going to check out this author more.


message 48: by Derrolyn (new)

Derrolyn Anderson First of all, I want to thank everyone who signed up for this R2R. I am SO psyched & looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts & opinions.

Secondly, a huge ♥THANK YOU!♥ to Marni for keeping on top of everything - your time & effort are what makes this all possible, and it really means alot to me!

Third, @Brenda... Wow that was fast!!! You just made my entire week! Whenever I'm feeling down I'll be reading that review :D

And finally, HAPPY VALENTINES DAY to all of you Goodreaders! Gotta be in love with love!


Allyson (allysonmichelle) I would love to read 2 review my email is allysonmichellemeahl@gmail.com epub please and thank you


Brenda (brendareads) | 151 comments Derrolyn: Thank you! I really am serious though. I've already gushed about it to my boyfriend (who admittedly probably won't read it) and three close friends, all who love to read. I still have another book to read, but I'm most likely going to read The Athena Effect again within the month. So THANK YOU! :)
