Spotlight

The world is full of wonderful books and I wish I could read them all – but I can’t. While for some of them I get to write reviews, for others I participate in blog tours, but I also enjoy featuring authors (via guest posts) in the hope that some of you will enjoy their stories.

First look at: Blue Lily, Lily Blue

by

Some covers are to die for!… And just look at this one.
“There is danger in dreaming. But there is even more danger in waking up.

Blue Sargent has found things. For the first time in her life, she has friends she can trust, a group to which she can belong. The Raven Boys have taken her in as one of their own. Their problems have become hers, and her problems have become theirs.

The trick with found things though, is how easily they can be lost.

Friends can betray.
Mothers can disappear.
Visions can mislead.
Certainties can unravel.”
Expected publication: October 21st 2014

First look at: Shimmer

by

Some covers are perfect!… And just look at this one! “Gaby thought her life couldn’t get more complicated.

She’s almost used to the idea that she’s not the nineteen-year-old backpacker she thought she was. She can just about cope with being one of the Rephaim – a 140-year-old half-angel – whose memories have been stolen. She’s even coming to grips with the fact that Jude, the brother she’s mourned for a year, didn’t die at all.

But now Rafa—sexy, infuriating Rafa—is being held, and hurt, by Gatekeeper demons. And Gaby has to get the bitterly divided Rephaim to work together, or Rafa has no chance at all.

It’s a race against time – and history. And it may already be too late.”
