Love Kissed Books Presents: With These Wings by Wendy Knight; #BookBlitz, #99Pennies, #Giveaway

With These Wings

By Wendy Knight

Blurb:

Seventeen-year-old Phoenyx was taken by the aliens who were supposed to save humanity. But Phoenyx didn’t die. She escaped.

Changed, different. Terrifying.

Now she protects the people she used to call neighbors and friends, despite the fact that they don’t trust her. She looks like the aliens—beautiful, strong, and winged. And that’s why those she protects want her dead.

She doesn’t blame them.

All the while, she’s searching for Cole, the boy whose arms she was ripped from the night she was taken. When he shows up at their compound with a new love, everything Phoenyx has been fighting for is turned on its head, and she has to figure out what side she’s really on and who she really is before she loses herself completely.

Never trust beautiful things.

Snippet #1

Nyx scooted closer to the rocky precipice, and then just a bit further, so she could curl her toes around the edge. The wind howled, jerking at her hair and loose, black dress. She stared down, trying to estimate the drop. It was so far she couldn’t see the bottom in the darkness, but then, the moon wasn’t giving her much light tonight. She spread her arms wide, embracing the emptiness, and tumbled forward.

She fell so fast that the mountainside blurred around her and the scream of the wind in her ears almost, almost, drowned out the roar of adrenaline. The ground raced up to meet her, seemingly hungry for her blood, aching for her death.

Not today.

Her wings shot out, jerking her to a stop mid-air, her feet almost grazing the ground that had moments before been a demon about to devour her alive.

Bio:

Wendy Knight is the award-winning, bestselling author of the young adult series Fate on Fire and Riders of Paradesos. She was born and raised in Utah by a wonderful family who spoiled her rotten because she was the baby. Now she spends her time driving her husband crazy with her many eccentricities (no water after five, terror when faced with a live phone call, no touching the knives…you get the idea). She also enjoys chasing her three adorable kids, playing tennis, watching football, reading, and hiking. Camping is also big—her family is slowly working toward a goal of seeing all the National Parks in the U.S.

You can usually find her with at least one Pepsi nearby, wearing ridiculously high heels for whatever the occasion. And if everything works out just right, she will also be writing.

Entangled Publishing Presents: Embrace, Otherworldly Heroes; #SaleBlitz, #LimitedTime, #OnSale, #OneDayOnly, #99Pennies, #Giveaway

This week I’m helping Entangled Publishing celebrate new adult heroes! Today is focused on the out-of-this-world hotness of otherworldly heroes! Entangled has all of the Embrace books that feature paranormal heroes on sale for just 99¢ today! Authors Marnee Blake, Reese Monroe, & Jocelyn Adams share their inspiration for their otherworldly heroes! Who or what inspired your otherworldly heroes? Reese Monroe (author of the Bound by Hades series): I've always been inspired by The Rock and Vin Diesel. Yeah, I know I kind of dated myself a little there, but in some of their movies...**whew**...the lengths to which they'll go to protect what's theirs--amazing to watch.

Off the screen, if you watch their social media feeds, it's all about family, inspiration and working hard for your goals. I'm all about that.

Oh, and they're nice to look at, too.

As far as what inspired me while creating my heroes...Love. In all honesty, faith, hope and love are the key elements to all my stories. Love being the greatest of these. It makes my heroes stronger than they already are and that kind of strength, no matter what kind of evil they face off with, gives them an edge. Jocelyn Adams (author of the Mortal Machine series): Years ago, a friend of mine suggested I read the Anita Blake series of books by Laurel K. Hamilton, and I absolutely fell for Jean-Claude. Tall, unusual, with a colorful past, and that French accent was the cherry on top. He was the first hero I'd ever read that stepped outside the boundaries of typical romantic relationships. The moment I finished the first book in the series, I knew what genre I wanted to write.Besides otherworldly heroes, about what kind of heroes do you like to read?Marnee Blake (author of the Altered series): I love reading about heroes who do real-life heroic things as well. FBI agents, cops, detectives, military men, firefighters... People who help others are sexy.Reese: Those who cherish their mates above all else and would do anything for them. Also, I love a good hero that is strong and honorable. Jocelyn: Dark anti-heroes are my absolute favorite, or even better, villain-turned-heroes. There's nothing I love more than a good redemption story.

That is, until he's saddled with something he's never had to do before: protect the human Serena Cross from his mortal enemy. Soon he's doing the unthinkable breaking the rules he's lived by. But are the aliens and the government the biggest threats to Serena's life...or is it Hunter?

Marked by Hades by Reese Monroe
Bound by Hades #2

For 911 years, Gatekeeper companion Justin Bradford has denied the possibility of being mated to only one woman. He enjoys them all too much to settle down. So when he feels his mate’s Ahavah mark surface, his first instinct is to ignore it. But when he sees the leather-clad beauty in need of his help that’s easier said than done. As Justin and Yvonne navigate the mystery of her past, their bond grows, but the secrets they discover and the sacrifices that must be made could be enough to rip them apart for eternity.

Bound by Hades #3

When his sister becomes tangled with a coven of demons, college senior Slade Bennet must trade his soul to save her. But first he must kill the assigned target: a sexually charged beauty who ignites his protective instinct. Halena Girard lives for only two things: vanquishing demons and seeking Artifacts rumored to lead to Lucifer’s downfall. That is, until she’s seduced and tortured by a...frat boy? Working together is the only way Slade can find his sister and Halena, the Artifacts, but as they face the darkest of evil, crushing Halena’s carefully erected walls might prove to be the most lethal battle for Slade.

Altered by Marnee Blake
Altered #1

The sickness came on suddenly and violently. When it ended, the entire town of Glory seemed to be dead...except Blue Michaels. And she is very different. Only a handful of them made it, including U.S. Army Specialist Seth Campbell, who is fierce and protective, and way too good-looking. Now they are hunted. What their pursuers don't know is each of them has strange new powers. And they’ll use their "gifts" to survive...no matter who stands in their way.

Avenged by Marnee Blake
Altered #2

Special-ops soldier Nick Degrassi blames himself for Kitty Laughton’s capture, and he’ll do whatever he can to free the quiet beauty, but close quarters and a shared secret bring an attraction that neither of them expected. With the organization that started it all making mercenaries for hire, Nick and Kitty must save themselves and stop a madman...before it’s too late.

Darkside Sun by Jocelyn Adams
Mortal Machine #1

Since she was six years old, Addison Beckett's seen the world around her unraveling, as if someone is pulling a thread from a sweater and it’s all slowly coming undone. Her arrogant-but-hot professor Asher Green insists that the dead from a parallel dimension are trying to possess the living in this one. And since Addison seems to be the only one who can see these “wraiths,”she just might be the key to saving the world. Stop the wraiths. Break the rules. Save the world. All in a day’s work. Normal was overrated, anyway.

Midnight Dawn by Jocelyn Adams
Mortal Machine #2

With only three days until the wraith king turns the earth into an all-you-can-eat buffet, Addison Beckett must enlist brooding sentinel Asher Green’s help. But Asher has erased her memory, along with the knowledge that he loves her, wants her, needs her. When Addison’s trapped by the wraith king, she must choose who will stand by her side during battle: the sentinel she loves who refuses to love her back, or a powerful stranger who insists they’re meant to be together. Her decision will decide the fate of humanity, and once determined, can’t be undone.

Forever Dusk by Jocelyn Adams
Mortal Machine #3

Life for the Mortal Machine—the secret-society that protects Earth from dark forces—has become almost...normal. For everyone but Addison. The evil she's imprisoned in her soul is destroying her sanity. Consequently, nobody believes her warnings that an old enemy has returned. If she relies too much on her soul mate Asher, he'll likely imprison her, if only to keep her safe. So she's forced to distance herself from her love—to keep the world from certain death.

UNITED

Alienated #3

Melissa Landers

Releasing Aug 2nd, 2016

Ever After

After thwarting a deadly coup and saving the alliance between their worlds, Cara and Aelyx have finally earned a break. Their tiny island colony is everything they dreamed it would be―days spent gathering shells on the beach and nights in each other’s arms.

But the vacation is short-lived.

The treaty between Earth and L’eihr has awakened an ancient force that threatens to destroy them all. The Aribol, mysterious guardians charged with maintaining interstellar peace, deem the alliance a threat to the galaxy. They order a separation of the races, decreeing humans and L’eihrs must return to their own planets within the month or face extinction. In fact, they already have agents in place on Earth, ready to begin.

With the clock ticking, Aelyx and Cara assemble a team of colonists and race back to Earth, where they unite with old friends to solve the mystery of who the Aribol are, what they want, and the real reason the alliance has provoked them. As tensions build to a full-scale war, Aelyx and Cara must fight harder than ever―not just for their future, but for the survival of both their worlds.

If you love hot aliens, snarky humans, and wild sci-fi adventure,

Loving The Book Presents: Scattering Stars by Wendy C. Jorgensen; #BookBlitz & #Giveaway

Wendy C. Jorgensen grew up in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and began writing in second grade, furiously recording her hopes and dreams in a denim-covered diary. Besides hanging out at the library, she loved soaking up the rays—while reading a book, of course. During her sophomore year of high school, Wendy’s family moved to Carson City, Nevada, and she thought her life had ended. The desert, sagebrush, and cowboys were a far cry from the ocean, palm trees, and surfers of Florida. Fortunately within six months, the family relocated to Lake Tahoe, and her outlook improved dramatically.

Wendy started college at the University of Colorado in Boulder, followed by a year at the University of Nevada in Reno and two years at Brigham Young University, where she worked as a reporter and copy editor for The Daily Universe. A decision to take a short break from school turned into a twelve-year hiatus in Lake Tahoe. After a two-year stint in the civil engineering program at California State University in Sacramento, Wendy returned to Colorado and graduated from CU with a degree in English Writing. It was a long, but valuable, educational journey.

After twenty years in Colorado, Wendy recently moved back to Northern Nevada, close enough to Lake Tahoe to enjoy the beautiful scenery but far enough away to escape the heavy winters. She lives with a wonderful husband who’s a financial guru–thank goodness–and a golden retriever who’s often
mistaken for a sloth. Her two brainy and creative sons challenge her intellect and make her want to be smarter. Wendy hopes someday to journey to the stars.

Deep in the Colorado Mountains lie many secrets. One of them could change the world.

When sixteen-year-old Eve Hunter returns to her childhood home of Ridgway, Colorado, she discovers a tight-knit colony of scientists and their families led by her grandfather, Jarak. Ten years earlier, her mother drowned suspiciously in a nearby canyon, and Eve becomes convinced the townspeople are hiding something. By lineage, Eve belongs to the colony and despite her reservations, she feels drawn to the colonists—particularly one of them: Daniel Winter, an eerily familiar, intense boy whose determination to monitor her and all the colonists is more than a little disturbing.

After Jarak reveals her true heritage, Eve learns her return to Ridgway is not a coincidence. She’s a key piece in Jarak’s plan. As secrets are revealed, Eve becomes entangled in a deadly game—and time’s running out to master the rules. One wrong move could jeopardize the future of the planet. "

FIVE FUN FACTS ABOUT SCATTERING STARS 

1. The original title of the book was The Colony, then it changed to The Dawning of Eve, and finally it morphed into Scattering Stars.

2. The title comes from a poem by a thirteenth century Persian poet named Rumi. The line reads: “We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.” This line of poetry created an image in Wendy’s mind of a powerful force scattering life throughout the universe.    

3. The name of the planet Karillion (rhymes with “a million”) originated from the carillon bells (pronounced kare-i-lon). In medieval times these bells, often placed in churches, were used to warn people of approaching storms, fires, or invading armies. The name signifies that the people of Karillion come with a warning.

  

4. Khalaheem, the name for the Wise Ones, is a word Wendy created using inspiration from the word

“Hakhamim,” a term in Judaism meaning “wise men.” 

5. Wendy envisioned the actor Billy Burke, who plays Bella’s dad from the Twilight series, whenever she wrote scenes with Eve’s dad, Tom Hunter. 

FIVE FUN FACTS ABOUT THE AUTHOR

1. Wendy always wanted to be a writer, but she also wanted to be an astronaut. In high school, she took the ASVAB, a vocational skills test for students who wanted to join the Armed Forces because she figured she needed to learn to fly jets before flying rockets. Afterwards, a military representative invited her to join the Air Force; however, she wouldn’t be able to fly jets because her eyesight was

so poor.  She declined the offer.

2. One of Wendy’s bucket list items is to attend the Roswell UFO Festival in New Mexico.

3. Wendy spent many nights around a campfire at Lone Cone Peak, the extinct volcano featured in Scattering Stars, looking for UFOs.

4. Wendy loves planetariums. During her freshman year of college at the University of Colorado in Boulder, she applied for an internship at the planetarium on campus.  She didn’t get the job, perhaps because she was an English major?

5. Wendy thinks Pluto should still be classified as one of the nine planets in the solar system. She’s particularly bothered by the fact that My Very Enormous Mother Just Sat Upon Nine Porcupines no longer applies as a mnemonic for naming the planets in order
