ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Dawn Pendleton is a new adult author who began her writing journey in New England with her husband and their pup, though she recently moved to Georgia and promptly became a Southern Belle (or so she likes to think). When she isn't staring at a blank page, willing the words to jump from her head to the screen, she's usually playing on her iPhone, reading a book, or taking pictures with her fancy camera (which she has no idea how to use).

ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: Of Sea and Stone
Author: Kate Avery Ellison
Genre: Fantasy, YA
Publication: February 2014

All her life, clever Aemi has been a slave in the Village of the Rocks, a place where the sea and sky meet. She’s heard the stories about the fabled People of the Sea, a people who possess unimaginable technology who live below the waves in the dark, secret places of the ocean. But she never dreamed those stories were true.

When a ship emerges from the ocean and men burn her village, Aemi is captured, and enslaved below the waves in Itlantis, a world filled with ancient cities of glass and metal, floating gardens, and wondrous devices that seem to work magic. To make matters worse, her village nemesis, the stuck-up mayor’s son Nol, was captured with her, and they are made servants in the same household beneath the sea.

Desperate to be free, Aemi plots her escape, even going so far as to work with Nol. But the sea holds more secrets than she realizes, and escape might not be as simple as leaving…

~Hidden Gates (Book 1)~

For P.J. Stone, being a “Seer” who has never seen anything is less than fun. And P.J. isn’t known for her patience.

To make matters worse, she must choose a suitable mate to continue the Seer bloodline. Duty always comes before her heart…at least that’s what her parents taught her. When she finds herself wanting someone who is considered off-limits, P.J. is forced to question everything she believes.

As if navigating her love life isn’t complicated enough, P.J. finally receives a vision—of a threat to her world that only she can perceive. But no one will believe a fledgling Seer’s warnings. With nowhere else to turn, she may decide to trust a stranger with her life, her world, and maybe even her heart.

~Broken Gates (Book 2)~

P.J. Stone is a Seer who saw too little, too late.

In the past, her biggest worries were boys and school—but war has a way of changing things. Now, the alien Riders are trying to overrun the world. As the last of their kind, P.J. and her friends must find a way to save humanity before there’s nothing left to save.

After choosing a mate, P.J. hoped she'd have time to enjoy her love life. But with everything changing so quickly and major secrets revealed, who knows what the future will bring?

~Open Gates (Book 3)~

Bryn is gone. Jenna isn’t herself. And the world has been taken over by the alien Riders. The only constant in P.J.’s life is Khol. But even he might not be able to help her pick up the shattered pieces of her existence.

 P.J. finally gets the answers to all her questions, but will she be able to handle the truth? And will she be strong enough to face her own destiny when the time comes?

How far would you go to protect the one you love? 

 Edge-of-the-seat suspense and zany wit are key elements of this comedy-mystery that combines crime and mayhem with romance and humor.

 The terrors of Colin’s past are revealed and accepted by Natalie. Her doubts about letting him into her life are finally disbanded and replaced by a sense of security and commitment. But Natalie doesn’t know that Colin’s past hides more dark secrets unknown even to him.

When a delusional psychopath threatens Colin’s life, things quickly become complicated. Natalie’s stubborn character and desire to kick ass won’t let her step aside and allow the authorities to handle the danger. She gets herself tangled up with street hoodlums, befriends a Russian mobster’s high-maintenance girlfriend, and becomes expert at picking locks and hiding evidence.

JAM PACKED UPCOMING WEEK + SSW UPDATE

Accepted Readers,

This week has been difficult. Wait no... let me rephrase that. This work week has been hell. Yes, that sums it up pretty well. Not only did we have a burglary that I had to clean up after, I've had to work over-time 4 days this week, AND I had to work not one but BOTH of my days off. (I have had the same two days off every week for an entire year)

I've fallen a tad behind on life. I'm confused on what day it is and all I want to do is sleep. If only I could shoot laser beams from my eyes... the possibilities would be endless. (first on the to-do list: DESTROY work)

Needless to say I felt like this:

ABOUT THE BOOK

*REVIEW & AUTHOR INTERVIEW* Bloodmark by Aurora Whittet

Accepted Readers, 

A while back I received an email  Bostick Communications regarding a review opportunity for Bloodmark by Aurora Whittet. I get emails from Bostick Communications frequently but never responded to any of them, mostly because I was a bit leery of the service. However, something about this book caught my attention and I decided to try my luck. 

Fortunately for me, within a few hours of asking to review the book, not only did I get a response... it was a response from the actual author! How awesome is that right? I totally thought I was going to get some automated generic response from a computer bot, but no I got genuine author response! I am glad I decided to go out on a limb and actually respond to the email that day, because I found a gem hidden within the sea of endless books.

I hope you guys enjoy my review and the exclusive interview that Aurora Whittet was kind enough to take part in!
