Book Spotlight, Excerpt and Giveaways! Spellbound by Nikkie Jefford

I know I've been MIA for a while (missing a huge amount of posts at that), as my laptop has some trouble connecting with the wifi network at my place and it's only been fixed today! But  I hope it's will be up and running more consistently from now on, as I've got a lot to share with you guys!

For today, I'm hosting a book promo for the series Spellbound by Nikki Jefford. This promo is hosted by Xpresso Book Tours.

Now, a few things on all the 3 books in the series!

Entangled (Spellbound, #1)

Series: Spellbound
Genre: Fantasy, Paranormal, Romance, Young Adult
Pages: 303
Publication Date: Feb 20, 2012
Website: Nikki Jefford | Entangled on Goodreads

Synopsis:

Two months after dying, seventeen-year-old witch Graylee Perez wakes up in her twin sister Charlene’s body.

Until Gray finds a way back inside her own body, she’s stuck being Charlene every twenty-hour hours. Her sister has left precise instructions on how Gray should dress and behave. Looking like a prep isn’t half as bad as hanging out with Charlene’s snotty friends and gropey boyfriend.

The “normals” of McKinley High might be quick to write her behavior off as post-traumatic stress, but warlock Raj McKenna is the only person who suspects Gray has returned from the dead.

Now Gray has to solve the mystery of her death and resurrection and disentangle herself from Charlene’s body before she disappears for good.

Book Spotlight, Excerpt and Giveaway! Frost Fire by Olivia Rivers

I'm proud to present to you a spotlight on Frost Fire by Olivia Rivers! This promo is hosted by Xpresso Book Tours!
This also marks the first time I host a giveaway myself, so I hope to receive much support from you guys!

Series: Tortured Elements
Genre: Paranormal, Romance
Publication Date: Nov 20, 2012
Website: Olivia Rivers | Frost Fire on Goodreads

Synopsis:

“Magic is just like love, Allai. It won’t wait for permission before it destroys you.”



Like sand in an hourglass, Allai’s future is dwindling away. She’s spent her entire life fighting the Mages who threaten humanity, and dreams of someday eradicating magic. But all it takes is an anonymous phone call for the truth to spill out: Allai is the one thing she despises most. 



She’s a Mage. 



Though ancient law mandates Allai’s death, she still has one last chance of survival. His name is Drake Rhaize, and he swears he can lead Allai to a sanctuary for Mages. Allai hasn’t seen Drake in years, but she remembers him as the Demon boy who used to hold her close and softly whisper that he’d keep her safe. But Drake has changed since then: He’s now suspected of murder, and has been out-casted for betraying his own kind. 



While Allai doesn’t trust Drake, she has no choice but to put her life in his hands and hope he can get her to safety. Because Allai’s father has hired a pack of Demons to bring her back to him, dead or alive–and Demons never stop the hunt.

Book Spotlight, Excerpt, and Giveaway! After Dark by Emi Gayle

You guys are probably full of spotlights for the day, but promise, original posts are coming!
This spotlight is for After Dark, the 1st book in The 19th Year by Emi Gayle, as hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer.

Genre: Fantasy, Paranormal, Romance, Young Adult
Pages: 344
Publisher: J. Taylor Publishing
Publication Date: Oct 31, 2012
Website: Emi Gayle | After Dark on Goodreads

Synopsis:

What eighteen year old Mac Thorne doesn’t know will probably kill her.

In exactly eight months, five days, three hours and thirteen minutes, Mac has to choose what she’ll be for the rest of her life.

She has no choice but to pick. As a Changeling, it’s her birthright. To Mac, it’s a birthchore. Like going to school with humans, interacting with humans, and pretending to be human during the pesky daylight hours.

Once darkness descends, Mac can change into any supernatural form that exists—which makes her as happy as she can be. That is, until Winn Thomas, the biggest geek in her senior class figures out there’s more to what hides in the dark than most are willing to acknowledge.

In this first of the 19th Year Trilogy, Winn might know more about Mac than even she does, and that knowledge could end their lives, unless Mac ensures the powers-that-be have no choice but to keep him around.

A Tale of the Other Kind Blog Tour: Author Interview with Leandi Cameron

Welcome everyone to my stop of A Tale of the Other Kind blog tour, hosted by Orangeberry Book Tours! I've got an author interview with Leandi Cameron coming up, but firstly, here's the 411 on the book:

Genre: Fantasy, Paranormal, Romance, Young Adult
Pages: 270
Publication Date: Sep 18, 2012
Website: Leandi Cameron | A Tale of the Other Kind: A Therian Novel on Goodreads

Synopsis via Goodreads:


Kai Emery likes to be indiscernible; however, his infatuation for his classmate, Sienna Fynn, has made his invisibility status all the more impossible to upkeep. His world spirals out of control when he discovers that he is a shape-shifting were-leopard, and finds himself unable to control his new-found anatomy.

An unpredictable vampire enters his life, leading him down a path that soon reveals his destiny, and discloses another world, filled with magic and terrifying darkness. When he finds himself in danger from the god of magic and darkness for disobeying a curse bestowed upon his kind, forbidding him from falling in love with a human, he has to fight for survival, and protect everyone that he loves.

To tell the truth, I think I've got something against stories like this - maybe because they all sound similar to Twilight (which in my opinion is the worst story ever told). But I think this book deserves a chance - especially after reading the reviews on Goodreads. The synopsis also shows no appearance of a Bella-like character, which makes it even better!

Let's chat a bit with our author, Leandi Cameron!

What inspired you to want to become a writer? 
It probably sounds like the world’s biggest cliché, but I was born to be creative. I was born to write and sketch. My veins are filled with ink and my hands itch to put pen to paper. I am drawn to books like addicts are drawn to their drugs and alcohol. When I write, or draw, I feel liberated; I am exported to another world that I create for myself – one I wish I could live in. I become my protagonist, and I become my characters. And for those periods when I indulge, I am nothing but my characters. They are who I am.
