A Trailer, a Novella and a Cover, Oh My!

Do you love the Covenant series? I DO!

Or haven't you read them? I dare you to start ASAP!

 

Today, I am as lucky as anything... why? Because I get to share not only an awesome trailer for Deity (Covenant Book Three) with you, but I also get to share with you Elixir (Aiden's beautiful novella) AND the absolutely GORGEOUS cover for Apollyon (Covenant Book Four)!

I think Apollyon's cover may just be my favourite yet, I mean seriously, just scroll down this post a bit and WAM! Mind blown because it looks just THAT good, so awesome it can only be described as INCREDIBLE, not to mention genius. Anyways, enough rambling from me, go ahead and feast your eyes and ENJOY!

Did you read an ARC of Deity and been dying to get your hands on Elixir, the novella told in Aiden’s POV and picks up right after the end of Deity? Well, you don’t have to wait any longer. The free novella is available now. DO NOT read Elixir if you have not read Deity. It will spoil Deity for you and not to mention, you will have no idea what is going on.

Elixir will be available in print. Kindle, and Nook formats on November 27, 2012.

Click HERE to read Elixir.

And we’re super excited to share the cover for the 4^th book in the Covenant Series, Apollyon, which is due out April 2013.

Waiting on Wednesday! (#7) Mind Games

This is a weekly meme 'Waiting on Wednesday' that I take part in, it is hosted by Breaking the Spine

It is a meme where you post about a yet-to-be-released book that you are looking forward to reading. Here is a book I have been highly anticipating:

Mind Games (Mind Games #1) by Kiersten White

Expected Publication Date: February 19th, 2013

Number of Pages: 256

(Description from Goodreads)

Fia was born with flawless instincts. Her first impulse, her gut feeling, is always exactly right. Her sister, Annie, is blind to the world around her—except when her mind is gripped by strange visions of the future.
Trapped in a school that uses girls with extraordinary powers as tools for corporate espionage, Annie and Fia are forced to choose over and over between using their abilities in twisted, unthinkable ways… or risking each other’s lives by refusing to obey.
In a stunning departure from her New York Times bestselling Paranormalcy trilogy, Kiersten White delivers a slick, edgy, heartstoppingly intense psychological thriller about two sisters determined to protect each other—no matter the cost.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The cover or Mind Games is so absolutely stunning, I just love it, and the description sounds amazing. I love that it's described as a thriller, I can't wait to get my hand on this one, what about you?

Teaser #2

I was suddenly wondering if I could make him step towards me. Put his arms around me? Take off his shirt?

Waiting on Wednesday! (#6)

This is a weekly meme 'Waiting on Wednesday' that I take part in, it is hosted by Breaking the Spine

It is a meme where you post about a yet-to-be-released book that you are looking forward to reading. Here is a book I have been highly anticipating:

 

 

Bitter Blood (Morganville Vampires #13) by Rachel Caine

 

Publication date: October 24th, 2012

Number of Pages: 544

 

Description (from Goodreads):

 

The brand-new Morganville Vampires novel from bestselling author Rachel Caine . . .

Thanks to the eradication of the parasitic creatures known as the draug, the vampires of Morganville have been freed of their usual constraints. With the vampires indulging their every whim, the town’s human population is determined to hold on to their lives by taking up arms. But college student Claire Danvers isn’t about to take sides, considering she has ties to both the humans and the vampires.

To make matters worse, a television show comes to Morganville looking for ghosts, just as vampire and human politics collide. Now, Claire and her friends have to figure out how to keep the peace without ending up on the nightly news… or worse.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I absolutely LOVE the Morganville Vampires series, I cannot get enough of it! Bitter Blood sounds so intriguing and I just know it will be every bit as brilliant as each of the other books in the series.

Rachel Caine is one of my favourite authors and I highly recommend this series!

A SACRED OATH

A FALLEN ANGEL

A FORBIDDEN LOVE

Romance was not part of Nora Grey's plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how hard her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch comes along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Patch draws Nora to him against her better judgment.

But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure whom to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is and seems to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.

For she is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen - and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost Nora her life.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hush, Hush is a hilariously captivating read full of sly innuendos delivered by an incredibly sexy guy, and full of mystery that will leave you guessing as to what will happen next. 

Nora is a nice girl just trying to get through school with good grades and spend time with her best friend Vee, but when Patch comes along, he's intent on stirring up Nora's life. He's sexy, arrogant and laced with danger, and in Nora's words: “Patch wasn't the kind of guy mothers smiled on. He was the kind of guy they changed the house locks for.” Patch is beyond mysterious and Nora would love to find out whatever his hidden agenda is.

Vee is so, so, so funny, some of the lines she delivers with have you almost in hysterics and her relation with Nora is so realistic and so well depicted, they are exactly what best friends should be.

Hush, Hush is incredibly original in both story line and character motives. There are plenty of dark, terrifying scenes that will leave you wide-eyed. the darkness and intrigue in this novel is perfectly balanced by moments that sexy as hell, damn funny or full of amazing dialogue that just never feels forced what-so-ever.

This book had me addicted from the get-go! With compelling banter and twisting plots that are forever thickening, this book contains edge-of-your-seat material and will have you remembering what happens for a long while after you've turned the last page and definitely wanting to relive so many of the different moments all throughout!

“Before I forget, here's your homework. Where do you want me to put it?"

She pointed at the trash can. "Right there would be fine.” 

I rate Hush Hush Five out of Five!
