Dracian Legacy Blog Tour Stop (Review)

Ren and Axel are caught between two powerful magical races: one destined to end the bloodshed, the other out for vengeance.

Seventeen-year-old Ren Pernell is prophesied to end the war between the Dracians and the Telalians. So when a Dracian, Axel Knight, is sent to find and bring back the prophesied one before she turns eighteen and Telalians discover of her existence, unexpected sparks start to fly between the two. Once Ren finds the truth behind Axel’s arrival, she wants everything to do with him and nothing to do with his mission.

Things prove to become difficult as Ren’s life is constantly threatened by the Goarders, humans who sold their souls, a Proxy Succubi, and the leader of the Telalians, who has been searching for her as well.

With the clock ticking and Ren’s life in jeopardy, it is no longer just a mission for Axel. It becomes a personal endeavor to save the only one he’s ever loved. In a heart racing ending, they must find a way to evade the preordained war that won’t also end Ren’s life.

MY REVIEW: An intriguing addition to YA paranormal romance. You'll find yourself intrigued by the Dracians and gripping your kindle whenever it's a scene between Ren and Axel. They're chemistry is HOT. *fans self* Ren had me laughing out loud on several occasions. I LOVE her sense of humor. Overall, I really enjoyed this book, and will definitely be reading the sequel. (I NEED MORE AXEL... and Dean too!)

I feel like...

I feel like I never do posts on my blog anymore. :(
I feel really bad about that. Hopefully, I'll be more active once I start posting Unraveling Teasers! (First one coming Tuesday, Feb 26th!)
Anyway, I'm so excited and scared to death about Unraveling, that, quite frankly, I've been a crazy person. Lol. This book is so different that any of the others I've written, and honestly, if someone asked me to pick my favorite, I'd say Unraveling. I feel so connected and moved by Katy and Jared's story, and I hope when ya'll read it, you'll feel the same way. :)
I'm much more active on facebook page, so if you haven't liked it already, you should do that. I have a lot of small giveaways planned over there for Unraveling! ;) AND when I reach 1200 likes on my facebook page, I will release the first THREE chapters of Unraveling!

Unraveling Cover Reveal and Blurb!!!!!!

Katy Spencer's life fell apart two years ago. Since then, she's closed herself off. She's a shell of the person she used to be. The only person she trusts is her best friend Rollo, but even he can't keep the nightmares away. Then she meets Jared. He's the first man she's been around since the event that she's not afraid of. He makes her heart race, not in fear, but in a fluttering that could become something meaningful.

Jared can tell that Katy is broken. He sees something in her eyes that he’s often seen reflected in his own.

Pain.

Fear.

Self-loathing.

Jared is determined to get to know her.

He wants to solve the mystery of Katy Spencer.

He will… unravel her.

Release Date: Late April (This is subject to change, and might end up being much sooner)

Facebook Giveaway

Giveaway

I'm going to be doing a giveaway on my facebook page Wednesday-Thursday. So, here's the info on that. :)
P.S. I just copied and pasted this from my facebook page, so if it looks wonky, that's why.

***As much as I would love to reveal the cover and blurb to Unraveling, right this second, I’m going to wait until tomorrow morning BECAUSE I want to go over the rules to the contest.
First- I want to address what the winner will get. The winner will receive a signed Unraveling bookmark, now, along with bookmarks for the Outsider Series. They will also receive a signed paperback when I have, well,paperbacks. I have no idea when this will be, but I’m going to guess sometime in April. At that time, the winner will also receive any other swag I may have accumulated for Unraveling.
(The giveaway will last for 2 days, Wednesday and Thursday. I will pick a winner Thursday night around 9pm eastern)
Now, you’re wondering, what do I have to do to enter?
Well, it’s really easy. ;)
When I post the cover/blurb tomorrow (I will also post the rules for the giveaway again) all you have to do is share the post! That simple! There are handy dandy buttons underneath every post that say, LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE. Obviously, you’re going to want to click share. ;)
By doing that, I’ll be able to see everyone that has shared it, and your name will go into the drawing ONCE. Share it again on Thursday, and your name is entered again.
For more entries, share on twitter, and then comment on the cover reveal post, with the link. That will count as ONE more entry. If you share it again, on Thursday, and comment with the link, your name will go into the drawing again.
If you do a blog post, with the cover and blurb, and then comment with the link to it, that will count as one entry. (You can only do a blog post once)
(That means there is a total of 5 times you can enter)
Everybody should be able to enter at least twice, increasing your chances of winning. All comments need to be made on the cover reveal post tomorrow, otherwise I might not see it. I will pin that post to the top of my page so you won’t have to look for it.*** 

UPDATE: Another way to gain more entries, is for your friends to like the page and comment with your name.

Unraveling

So, some of you might remember, months ago, when I was talking about a New Adult project titled Unraveling. I released the blurb and said I had a cover. Ringing any bells?
Well, I just want to say that Unraveling is my current WIP. It's coming along really well and I'm in complete and total love with it. I can't wait for you to meet Katy (Katyrina pronounced Kat-a-reena) and Jared. They've been bugging me to write their story since June and they've been very persistent, so that's why I'm working on their story right now. I don't have a release date but I'm hoping for the end of April. (fingers crossed) I will be doing the cover reveal very soon, and a new blurb. The old one just gave away too much. :)
Once again, I can't wait for you guys to meet Katy and Jared and I hope you love their story as much as I do.

I'll leave you with my inspiration for Jared and a teaser. ;)

He turned around and his brown eyes had darkened. “Bad things happen to good people, Katy. We don’t ask for it, we don’t deserve it, but it happens anyway. You can choose to let it break you, or you can let it make you stronger. You can hide or you can stand up and do something about it.” His jaw clenched. “It’s all up to you,” he pointed at me. “No one can heal you, Katy. There are no magic words. Only you can heal yourself.”
