“It’s strange how fast life changes. Just when you think you have it all figured out, a council man hands you six werewolves to take care of.”

Willow and her pack had barely settled into their new town when the council shows up again. Only this time it’s to ask for their help – to save Gage. How can Willow refuse?

Suddenly, Willow is thrust into a world of childhood nightmares. The Ancient City. But it isn’t at all what she thought it would be. In fact, Willow soon realizes that not many things are what she thought they would be and she has to figure out for herself which things are worth fighting for.

About the author

I wear many hats. Author, mother, cook, housekeeper, laundry do-er, sister, daughter. I enjoy writing, it allows me to escape the realities of life: bills, day job, baths, supper, dieting, cleaning the litter box.
My writing is usually romantic in nature with a bit of humor and a bit of surprise. My books range from Vampires who fall in and out of love so many times I had to make it a series to christian stories of finding out what is important in life.
I have always loved writing. During my high school days I wrote one book. It was a vampire love story. It took me so long to write it that I began to think of the characters as real people. I still do that today.
On a personal note: I have three wonderful children – Gavin, Arabelle, and Elijah, two not so wonderful cats, and two rats. We all live in a small town in northern Ohio. There is more corn here than vampires or werewolves, at least that I know of.

On Tour with Prism Book Tours…

Welcome to the “Second Chances” daynight blog tour! Over the last few day/nights I was really excited to share with you:

– Over $300 of daynight-related prizes as a giant THANK YOU to the thousands of daynight early adopters and those who have yet to enter the twisted world of The Second Chance Institute and Thera. Want to prepare for Exile? Or an overday date with Ethan? Have breakfast for dinner? Glam it up in Garden City? There are *12* prize packages to be won! We’ll introduce a new package every day of the tour so you’ll have a second, third & so forth chance to win.

– The launch of clean slate complex (a daynight story)… For those who have read daynight you can learn more about what the SCI is up to on Earth (surely nothing good). For those who haven’t read daynight this is a great way to get your feet wet…test the waters so to speak. I warn you though…the SCI’s like Jaws Jr and the giant school of barracuda I encountered on my recent vacation–pretty from a distance, but up close they’ve got a lot of bite ;).

– Posters, teasers and guest posts about the themes of daynight and clean slate complex... Plus, I’m fully prepared to sneak in some nuggets about what to expect in the daynight sequel, arbitrate.

Thanks again for joining us on the tour and for your support of daynight. I’m grateful for all of you and humbled by your support.

– Megan Thomason

April 22 – Launch!

– My Seryniti – Review

I honestly didn’t know who to trust.

– Little Library Muse – Part I of III

Thankfully I got Brad Darcton, a member of the ruling Ten of the SCI to help me out… no one said that I couldn’t bring a guest to my guest post so I’m going for it. I warn you to take what he says with a grain of salt. The guy’s a walking SCI propaganda poster.

23 – Tressa’s Wishful Endings – Part II of III

The dystopia category is pretty broad these days. By definition a dystopian world must have:Extremely bad living conditions due to deprivation, oppression, or terrorBy that definition my kids probably think our home qualifies.

– Buckeye Girl Reads – Excerpt:

– Marked by Books – Review

I don’t necessarily think that the SCI is evil, even though I may believe that some of the things they do are. They have a reason for doing what they do, and I’m so thankful to Megan for daring to explain those “whys.”

– Red Headed Bookworm – Part III of III

Brad: We want only the best for humanity. All you have to do is turn on the news on Earth to know that humanity’s been in a downward spiral. Someone’s got to step up and nip these issues in the bud. And I don’t know any organization better prepared to do just than than The Second Chance Institute.

24 – Coffee Books and Me – Guest Post

The idea for Thera came to me as I was hiking the canyons of San Diego…

Stressed Rach – THERA FACT SHEET

Snuggling on the Sofa – Review

I have to say how refreshing I found this book when I began to read it.

Christy’s Cozy Corner – Excerpt

All Fantasy Words – Review

daynight is a gripping, fast-paced novel that combines the intricacies of science and technology with a sense of magic and surrealism.

26 – My Passion for Books – Review

I was very impressed with this book. I read it in a couple of days, even though I had a lot of work to do for school and other things. I just couldn’t put it down.

– Paranormal opinion – Blake

– The Cozy Reading Corner – Kira

Theme 3 photo Kira-Excerpt_zps998d7b4b.jpg

– Bookaroo-Ju – Teaser

27 – Bookworm Lisa – Guest Post – The Characters

I needed all three characters to fully tell the story… Each perspective adds important pieces to the puzzle and as the characters collide there’s a few fireworks.

– Getting Your Read On – Review x2

We get a glimpse of the characters from daynight in this novella and it definitely perked my interest in the next book to see how everything fits back together and intertwines.

– All Fantasy Worlds – CSC Review

clean slate complex was a fast read and it went very well after reading daynight. You know that feeling when you finish reading a good novel and you know you’re going to miss the characters and the world the author created so much until the next book comes out? Well, this novella is perfect for those who need their daynight fix.

28 – Fantastical World of Wonders – Review

All in all, this book was a nice read that’ll leave you wondering what’s going to happen next.

– Pause Time – Part I of III:

There’s nothing like starting the morning with a little controversy, so let’s get a couple important things out of the way:
– So what is Cleaving?

– A Backwards Story – Part II of III:

Many readers have mistaken all the Cleaving discussion for pushing sex. On the contrary, it is all about who you end up with for life.

– Beck Valley Books – Part III of III

Extremes are extreme by nature and intended to shed very bright light on societal parallels and make the reader think, feel uncomfortable even.

29 – I Am a Reader, Not a Writer – Teaser

– Books Mystify – Review

What I expected did not happen, especially what I predicted with the Blake and Kira’s relationship… I like it because it was a twist for me…

– Mel’s Shelves – Review

Wow!! I’m really not sure where to start with this one. This book is full of twists and turns and turns and more turns. There’s LOTS of secrets, deceit, betrayal, friendship, love, lust, power hungry adults, creepy rules, etc. You name it, this has it (aside from swearing and detailed sex–a plus).

Theme 5 photo Escapism-Poster_zps341ec470.jpg

30 – Letters to the Cosmos – Review

The story starts on page one, the writing is fantastic, the characters are well-drawn, and the narrative is so much… more than a YA dystopian novel.

– Arriane Cruz Part I of II

Escapism: an inclination to retreat from unpleasant realities through diversion or fantasy.

– Candace’s Book Blog Part II of II

Knowing that escaping won’t make the bad stuff go away, why do we do it? I think that the diversions and fantasies can give our brains enough of a “timeout” to be able to return back to our circumstances with renewed vigor and determination.

May 1 – Life of a YA Girl – Review

You never know who to trust. You honestly don’t even know until the very end. Some of the characters, who will remain nameless, you still don’t know their true intentions! I can’t wait to read Thomason’s next book, once it comes out. I’m just dying to know what happens to these characters, if who we think we can trust is really trustworthy… if the SCI has some other twisted objective.

Theme 5 photo Home-Visit-Excerpt_zps5c3e2cbf.jpg

Fuonlyknew – Excerpt – What a tour!

2 – A Tiffyfit’s Reading Corner – Review

If you can’t tell just yet, this was a five star read. Many of my notes in my kindle are highlights that say “HOLY CRAP” or “OMG!” or “ARE YOU FLIPPING KIDDING ME?!” My poor kindle probably has bruises from me punching the screen with my finger to get to the next page as quickly as I could.

– Lovin’ Los Libros – Review – daynight & CSC:

There is a bit of a love triangle here, as both Adam and Joshua have expressed interest in Alexa. We get a pretty big plot twist and Alexa learns SCI is not at all what it claims to be, and Joshua’s allegiance is wishy washy at best.Alexa, Adam, and Joshua will all appear in Arbitrate, the second book in the Daynight series.

I can’t wait!

Paulette’s Papers Part I of II

You are thrust into a dystopian society. What do you do? Do you submit to the regime or fight to the death?

Becky’s Barmy Book Blog Part II of II

Good news! We’ll likely die before being forced to live in a dystopian society. Our only exposure will be through fiction. And thank goodness. Because realistically, none of us would have much of a chance of making it in a dystopia without meeting an early demise or becoming one of the brain-dead masses.

Backing Books – Excerpt:
4 – Hezzi-D’s Books and Cooks – Recipe:

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

– Living a Goddess Life – Review; Recipe:

Theranberry Bread Pudding

5 – Sab, The Book Eater – Part I of II

What a weird feeling. I started daynight over 3 years ago. I spent more than 6 months writing, and way more than 6 months doing edits and rewrites.

– Mortality Bites – Part II of II

daynight explored the SCI’s iron grip on Thera and the Second Chancers. clean slate complex explores what the SCI is up to on Earth (nothing good).

– Deco My Heart – Review

There are many sinister things about Thera that are slowly revealed and lots of twists and turns which makes for an interesting read.

6 – Jack’s Junk Drawer – Review

The opening prologue was hilarious. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard so soon when reading a book

– The Reading Diaries – Review

The book is filled
with twists and turns that kept me guessing till the last page I had a hard
time putting it down.

Emergence

Eden’s Root Trilogy #3

by Rachel E Fisher

RELEASE DATE: APRIL 30, 2013

“I promise you, Sean. We’re going to stop them.”

The pieces on the board are in motion and with both sides gathering strength, each move will be critical. When the Truthers make a play for checkmate, the Seeders are forced to respond. Fi and her companions will face greater challenges and higher stakes than ever before, because this time if they fail, it’s for keeps.

Amazon * Kindle * Barnes & Noble coming soon!

Seeds of War #2

The mission of Eden must be fulfilled and Eden’s best Seekers are needed. Forming a new group they dub the Seeders, Fi, Asher, and Sean are joined by a new addition as they set out to bring hope and support to the Topsiders in the form of radios and heirloom seeds. Their experiences Topside prepare them for the threat from marauding gangs they call Lobos, but it is a different, less obvious sort of threat that takes them by surprise. As radio broadcasts begin to reconnect Eden and the Topsiders, the Seeders stumble upon mysterious broadcasts from unknown stations. When two of their own new radio stations go silent within days of each other, Fi and her companions realize that something is terribly wrong. Eden finds itself pitted against a growing and unknown force as their very mission lights the flames of war.
Eden’s Root #1

It is 2033, and the world hovers on the edge of explosion as unexplained crop deaths lead to severe global food shortages. In the United States, the Sickness is taking lives slowly, creeping its way into every family. Fi Kelly has already faced the Sickness in her own family, toughening her beyond her years. But a shocking confession from her dying father will push her toughness to its absolute limits. Saddled with an impossible secret and the mission of saving her little sister, Fi sets out to transform herself into the warrior that she must become to survive the coming collapse. Along the way, she will discover that evil can be accidental and that love can be intentional.

Beyond the Iron Gate (A Lost Kingdom of Fallada Novella)

In the year 1845, before the mystical land of Fallada was separated from the realm of men forever, the two worlds coexisted in harmony. Man could mingle freely in the world of the Elves and Faeries at will and peace reigned.

In the hills of Shropshire, England, just miles from the gate separating the village of Ludlow from the world of mystical creatures, farmer’s daughter Zara Wells longs for answers. It is not only the golden hair that trail feet behind her, or the strange hue of her violet eyes that separates her from the other girls in her village. There is something inside of her, something touched by magic that longs to know more about what lies on the other side of the gate.

In Fallada, darkness has begun to spread. As the youngest and most beautiful girls of her village begin to disappear, Zara comes closer to discovering the true circumstances surrounding her birth. Little does she know, that the closer she comes to the answers she so desperately desires, the closer she will come to being ensnared in the dark queen’s web of growing treachery.

What are you currently reading?

Moonlit

Eighteen-year-old Tanzy Hightower knows horses, has grown up with them on Wildwood Farm. She also knows not to venture beyond the trees that line the pasture. Things happen out there that cannot be explained. Or undone. Worse, no one but she and the horses can see what lurks in the shadows of the woods.

When a moonlit ride turns into a terrifying chase, Tanzy is left to question everything, from the freak accident that killed her father to the very blood in her veins. Broken and confused, she turns to Lucas, a scarred, beautiful stranger, and to Vanessa, a charming new friend who has everything Tanzy doesn’t.

But why do they seem to know more about her than she knows herself?

Having a grand time!

What did you recently finish reading?

Halo of the Nephilim

Can a fallen angel, his band of broken souls, and his nephilim children change the world?
Armaros the Cursed, Satan’s favorite of the Fallen, falls once again after breaking the rules. Fearing an eternity of punishment, he desperately attempts to save himself by sending a bird to his island. The SOS message is received by his beloved congregation. They prepare the great Armaros’ kingdom for his return. Can his loyal worshipers rescue him from the pit?
Halo of the Nephilim is the sequel to Halo of the Damned. The story begins with Armaros’ arrest. Reporters are duped into believing he was gunned down while awaiting trial. Declared dead, his only known surviving daughter, Joanna Easterhouse, proves her relation and inherits everything. She catapults her career from an entry-level advertising assistant to the head of Armaros’ advertising empire. Life couldn’t be better: a windfall inheritance, real power within a major industry, a loving relationship with a former demon, and a baby on the way. She should be on top of the world, but knows everything good must come to an end.
Joanna’s sister, Kim Easterhouse, becomes Kim Slattery after marrying Sean, her dead mother’s probate lawyer. Joanna generously includes them as key players in her advertising chain. They, too, have much to smile about, but a string of events leads them back to old family secrets.
Wickedness looms over the Easterhouse family once more, forcing them into an unlikely showdown filled with page-turning excitement. Like Halo of the Damned, Halo of the Nephilim is filled with conspiracy and angel lore taken directly from scripture and other ancient writings. Nephilim meander the earth in confusion, constantly questioning who they are and where they stand in terms of good and evil. More mind control themes top off this tale of doom. Dina Rae delivers the darkness in the most entertaining light.

My review is coming soon!

What do you think you’ll read next?

Sierra

Alyssa Fontaine’s life, loved ones–everything familiar and dear–are brutally taken from her. Taken captive by two men, she endures a horrific nightmare. A new life is forced upon her and even a new name. Just when it appears that no hope is in sight, she is saved by an unlikely twist of fate. Trapped in the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains, life will open its arms to her again and she will embrace it. She will find love such as she never knew existed.

Sierra is a heart-wrenching story of the power of the human spirit to survive amidst impossible circumstances and severe losses. It is a story of survival . . . and hope

I’m thrilled to have another of Taylor Dean’s books!

So, whatcha readin?

Synopsis from Goodreads:

When Jocelyn Weatherford is whisked away from a preparatory academy in upstate New York to live with her extended family in New Orleans, she is unprepared to encounter the dangers awaiting her. Yet even as she is thrust into an unfamiliar world of witches and voodoo magic, the greatest threat of all may be the boy she has fallen for.

While handsome and charming, he is also a Caldwell… a member of the family the Weatherford’s have been feuding with for centuries. As their forbidden love grows it becomes the volatile spark that forever changes their world and everyone in it.

Please enjoy this fun excerpt.

I’m a witch.

I…am…a…witch. The realization repeated in my head like a constant, blinking light as I lay in bed, unable to sleep.

The house was silent now, Miss Mabelle being the last to make any noise and that had been over an hour ago. Even the soothing blues music someone had been playing in a nearby house had ended.

I was alone with my thoughts now, or just one to be precise.

I am a witch.

Images of pointy hats, black cats, and broomsticks entered my mind but I hadn’t seen a single one of these since arriving in New Orleans, making it more difficult to accept this new found understanding of who I really am. Maybe a cauldron on the stove or a wand stowed away in a drawer would have made it easier on me. There were none of these things here.

The witch world had been hard to swallow because they didn’t appear to be anything other than normal. There was nothing in their clothes or overt behavior that would identify them as having any kind of supernatural ability or sharing a lineage with those who do. As Jameson had told me on the first day I’d arrived, they attempted to hide this secret culture that I unknowingly hailed from.

But it was undeniable to me now. I’d snubbed this fact, the truth about my ability and my ancestry, because there had always been an explanation for the unexplainable. It was an illusion…a hoax…a magic trick.

Tonight had changed all that…

daynight

Paperback, 324 pages

Published November 26th 2012 by Creatspace

Meet The Second Chance Institute (SCI): Earth’s benevolent non-profit by day, Thera’s totalitarian regime by night. Their motto: Because Everyone Deserves a Second Chance™. Reality: the SCI subjects Second Chancers to strict controls and politically motivated science experiments like Cleaving—forced lifetime union between two people who have sex. Punishment for disobeying SCI edicts? Immediate Exile or death.

Meet Kira Donovan. Fiercely loyal, overly optimistic, and ensnared by the promise of a full-ride college scholarship, Kira signs the SCI Recruit contract to escape memories of a tragedy that left her boyfriend and friends dead.

Meet Blake Sundry. Bitter about being raised in Exile and his mother’s death, Blake’s been trained to infiltrate and destroy the SCI. Current barrier to success? His Recruit partner—Miss Goody Two Shoes Kira Donovan.

Meet Ethan Darcton. Born with a defective heart and resulting inferiority complex, Ethan’s forced to do his SCI elite family’s bidding. Cleave-worthy Kira Donovan catches his eye, but the presiding powers give defect-free Blake Sundry first dibs.

clean slate complex

by Megan Thomason

Meet The Second Chance Institute (SCI): Worldwide non-profit and do-gooder organization. Their motto: Because Everyone Deserves a Second Chance at Life(TM). Reality: hidden behind every kind act is a dark agenda designed to gain control and force societal and moral extremes. Currently, the SCI’s pushing Project Liberate, a program to woo the poor and downtrodden into their Clean Slate Complexes—where “everything is provided” from jobs to food, shelter, clothing, and education. Unfortunately, as with all things that sound too good to be true, there’s a catch…

Meet Alexa Knight. Feisty, tough and currently homeless in Los Angeles, Alexa agrees to help the SCI in return for medical care for her sick mother. When she starts to suspect there’s more to the SCI than meets the eye will she believe Adam—the boy who saved her life and the SCI’s biggest champion, or Joshua—the attractive enigma who sings about conspiracy theories and pretends to be someone he’s not?

Full of action, humor, romance, twists and turns, clean slate complex is a companion story to the highly-praised dystopian novel, daynight. It can be enjoyed before or after readingdaynight.

New Blood (Vampire in the City, #1)

Description

Emma Hammond is a normal young woman living in New York City whose life changes forever when one misstep brings her very close to death. Luckily, Alex Thompson, a handsome stranger (who also happens to be a vampire), jumps in to save her, turning Emma into a vampire. She quickly discovers the numerous advantages (no more allergies, glasses, or acne) and slight drawbacks (wanting to eat her boyfriend) of joining the ranks of the creatures of the night. But Emma soon finds out her new undead life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be when she gets pulled in to an age-old dispute between two feuding vampire clans.

I’ve read the first three books in this series and the fourth will be releasing soon. Can’t wait!

Vamps, weres, and witches. What more could you ask for!

Teaser Tuesday’s #18 ~ Blue Hearts of Mars

Tags: cyborgs, fantasy, forbidden love, Science Fiction

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read

• Open to a random page.

•Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page

• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My tease for today is from Blue Hearts of Mars by Nicole Grotepas

I’m cheating a bit because I really loved this whole scene and couldn’t pick just a piece of it.

Blue Hearts of Mars

With my eyes closed I could still see Hemingway and his perfect jaw line that swept up to his ear, his cheek bones molding the bends of his skin in all the right ways, the curve of his bottom lip when he smiled, his brown-gray close-cropped hair. And his laugh. I could hear it. His steel-blue eyes were looking at me in my mind, tap-tapping into my brain, his eyes alight with electric galaxies.

I stared into his eyes in my mind. Could I ever get close to him? I needed to. There was so much I didn’t know about him. What was it like when he slept? How did his body feel to hold? How did his hair smell? Did it have a fragrance the way a human’s would? I needed to know.

Oh man, I am so hooked on this book!

How about you? Got a tease? Tell me!
