COME, THE DARK

by USA Today Bestselling Author, Rebecca Hamilton
Come, the Dark 2 

Rose desperately wants to escape the abuse of the father who impregnated her and the dark spirits that haunt her life. Being thrust from Georgia 1961 into the era of Salem’s infamous witch trials isn’t what she had in mind, and now her daughter is left hopelessly out of reach.

The only way to return to her daughter is by facing certain death to banish the dark spirits that plague Salem. If she doesn’t eliminate these dark spirits in time, they will destroy civilization and trap her in this strange new place, ages away from her daughter.

Even if she can complete the task in time to return home to save her daughter, there’s still one problem: she’s falling in love with a man who can’t return with her. Achieving her goals will force her to choose between the only man who has never betrayed her and a daughter she can’t quite remember but will never forget.

A heart-wrenching tale of a mother’s love for her daughter, this romantic paranormal fantasy underlines the depravity of both historical and modern society while capturing the essence of sacrifice and devotion.

TRIGGER WARNING: This book deals with the sensitive subject of sexual abuse.

Beautiful blonde with dandelions

At twenty-two, practicing Wiccan Sophia Parsons is scratching out a living waiting tables in her Rocky Mountain hometown, a pariah after a string of unsolved murders with only one thing in common: her.

Sophia can imagine lots of ways to improve her life, but she'd settle for just getting rid of the buzzing noise in her head. When the spell she casts goes wrong, the static turns into voices. Her personal demons get company, and the newcomers are dangerous.

One of them is a man named Charles, who Sophia falls for despite her better judgment. He has connections that might help her unveil the mystery surrounding her ancestor's hanging, but she gets more than she bargains for when she finally decides to trust him.

The Forever Girl is a full-length Paranormal Fantasy novel that will appeal to lovers of paranormal romance, urban fantasy, witches, vampires, ghosts, paranormal mystery, and paranormal horror.

Waken by Angela Fristoe - Meet the characters

Waken (The Woods of Everod, #1)
Haunted by nightmares of her mother killing her, Janie just wants to be normal.

Tristan is out of her league and the emotions he draws from her are almost enough to make her ignore all of the weird things he says. Almost enough to ignore the way the entire town seems ready to pounce on her as if she were fresh meat.

Almost, though, isn’t enough when Janie finally discovers what the town is hiding. The town of Everod has been waiting for Janie and if she hopes to survive, she’ll need to confront the truth of who and what she really is.

Change is Good

The new year is always a good time for change. There was a time when I made New Year's Resolutions. Yet, after years of failing to follow through for one reason or another, I realized life changing resolutions were not for me.

This year, I have decided to just make simple changes. I'm going to change what I eat for breakfast in the morning. I'm going to change my daily hairstyle every so often. I'm going to change my blog.

When I started this blog it was geared to readers of YA only. As a YA writer, I wanted to immerse myself in the YA genre. And it worked for a while. However, over the past year, my YA reading has dwindled. Not because I wasn't reading, but because my focus was shifting. I was writing more and getting to know indie authors from different genres.

So, what does all of this mean? Well, to put it simply this blog will now be used to share and promote authors and books of any genre I am interested in (which is typically YA and Romance), and to share the progress of my writing.

For the first time in months, I am excited about blogging.

Blog Tour ~ Hotwire by Cindy M. Hogan *Excerpt

 Hotwire 
Hotwire by Cindy M. Hogan

Division spy Christy Hadden can't wait for her latest assignment posing as a student at a prestigious New York City academy and car thief extraordinaire.

The best part of the mission is her attractive handler, Jeremy, and her new team. The worst part? The sociopath masquerading as the academy's most popular guy.

But soon she realizes the car thieves are much more than they seem. Her simple spying mission becomes more dangerous than anyone imagined. If the organization discovers her true identity, they won't hesitate to kill her, and if she fails, others will suffer the same fate.

Young Adults, teens and adults will love this exciting suspenseful adventure with a dash of romance. You won't want to put it down.


Excerpt from Hotwire:
No one was at the brownstone, so I changed to meet with Viktor. I couldn’t wait to tell everyone what I’d learned.
 
Viktor met me outside the café. He leaned in and kissed me, not a quick peck, but a full on, minute-long kiss. My face flushed with a fury.
 
“You look so cute when you’re embarrassed.” He stroked my hair and looked around, a look of gloating on his face. He wanted everyone to see him kissing me, owning me.
 
I looked at my feet then pushed my face into his chest and kept my head down so that he couldn’t kiss me again. He chuckled and led me inside. We took a table. “So, do I have plans for dinner Sunday?” I gave him a bright smile.
 
“You do.”
 
I grinned and threw my hands in the air. “Seriously?”
 
“Seriously.” He leaned in to kiss me, and I shifted so that he kissed my cheek.
 
 “Don’t do that again,” he said. His eyes darted around the café, making sure no one had seen me diss him.
 
“What?”
 
“Dodge my kiss. You are mine, and when I want a kiss, I can have a kiss.”
