The Alexa Montgomery Saga
Blood Warrior:
When her home is attacked by murderous vampires, 17-year-old Alexa is forced to leave her mother for dead in order to save her sister. She soon learns that she is the last known member of an elite race of supernatural Warriors, and is thrust into a world full of vampires and werewolves who all seem to regard her as some sort of savior. Meanwhile, Alexa battles a monster within herself that seeks to gain control; a monster that seeks blood.

The hidden city she finds herself in appears perfect, but Alexa's instincts tell her that all is not right within its walls. When she is asked to attend a school of fighters, whose exams consist of gladiator-style competitions, she must decide who she can trust among the smiling faces. And, when she meets Kayden, a vampire she feels undeniably drawn to, she must decide if she can trust herself.

Cover Reveal: Clicks by Amy Evans


Hello Therians!
 
Check out the cover for Clicks, the new YA novel by Amy Evans!


 
SYNOPSIS
Born and bred to win, Cami’s family expects her to join a secret society called The Guard, marry one of the two identical twin boys next door, and stay on Pinhold Island for the rest of her life. Home to perfect waves, black sand beaches, and the world-famous Surf Carnival, Pinhold seems deceptively perfect. While visitors are jealous of the few hundred people who get to live there, Cami feels stifled. Thanks to the intense link she shares with her own twin, Mica, she can't even be alone with her thoughts. While Cami's more than happy to be a lifeguard, a lifelong commitment to the endless summer feels like a trap. For mainlanders, success in the Surf Carnival means a place to live on Island constant access to the huge, perfect waves that crash just off shore.  Cami sees it as a way out til a seemingly small injury turns her world upside down and prevents her from the first competition.

Descendants of the ten families who originally settled on the Island, Cami and Mica are part of a new generation, the most perfect example of what nature and time can create. This summer was their time to prove that the years of training have paid off, but it's not going as planned. It's suddenly impossible for Cami to resist the magnetic attraction between her and Blake, one of the twins next door.  Just as the Surf Carnival competition starts to heat up, the best swimmers start going down. Something is pulling them to the ocean floor where they wind up in comas and can't be woken up.  When Mica goes down too, Cami can no longer wait for those in charge to figure out how to help him.

With her twin link silenced, the clicks that she used to get from her brother start coming from somewhere else. Can she trust her instincts and learn to listen in enough time to save her friends, or will she lose them along with the island home that she loves?

REVIEW
 
This has to be one of the most exciting YA Fantasy novels I've ever read.
 
It was well paced, action-packed and just an all round delightful read. The characters were all enjoyable and it was fun to see their interaction with each other. I particularly loved Kaylia. She kicks butt while being graceful and beautiful at the same time. I really wanted to learn as much as I could about her elven heritage.
 
The story revolves around a few brave souls who set out to stop and destroy the darkness that threatens to take over the world after The Sword of Truth falls into the wrong hands. Gewey, the not so obvious hero, given that he's only seventeen and a farm boy, learns that his life is anything but normal and he is anything but a commoner. With the guidance of Lee and his new found friends, Gewey, develops into a mature, strong character. And for all the romantics out there, the beautiful romance that blossoms within the pages of this book gives new meaning to "soul mates".

There are quite a few twists within the plot of this book that kept me enthralled, and when I got to the last page I didn't want it to end, especially with such a cliffhanger! Book two is at the top of my TBR pile as I have to know what happens to Gewey and Kaylia.
 
Even though this book has been labelled at YA Fantasy, I think it will reach into the soul of readers of all ages, especially readers of Epic Fantasy novels, who will love this book with its mystery and magic.

It deserves nothing less than...

The Godling Chronicles Virtual Tour: Guest Post with Brian Anderson




Hello Therians,

Welcome to my first stop in The Godling Chronicles Virtual Tour, brought to you by JKSCommunications.
 
Today, Brian Anderson stops by to tell us why he writes fantasy :)
 
Be sure to stop by tomorrow for my review of The Sword of Truth, Book 1 of The Godling Chronicles.


And now I hand my blog (or at least this post) over to Brian :)


Why Fantasy?

When I tell people that I write fantasy, often their first question is, “why fantasy?” I suppose I could write suspense, mystery, or even contemporary fiction. It isn’t such a stretch for me to imagine myself seeking a story beyond the fantasy genre. But to me, fantasy brings to light the very things that make us who we are.

The ability to contemplate fantasy, is what makes us human. Even as small children, once we’ve learned who mommy is and how to crawl, we are exposed to the fantastical realm of the imagination. Our first stories are of magical creatures, gallant heroes, beautiful maidens, and far away kingdoms. Through fantasy, we learn honor, perseverance, bravery, and love. The noblest aspects of the human character is taught to us through make-believe and flights of fancy.

As adults, we often times forget these beginnings, and choose to leave “childish” things behind. We ground ourselves in stark reality, and set in our mind the bare facts of day to day living. We no longer believe that Snow White was brought back to life by the kiss of true love. We understand that dragons are not real. We fail see the magic that once was as factual as the air we breathe.

With fantasy, we can revisit the part of us that still wants to believe. Sure, I could choose a different genre, but for me, the wonder I find in fantasy fills my heart with delight. And when I am able to share it with others, I feel as if I have made the magic of childhood come back to life. For a few hours, I have rendered the wicked world of adulthood powerless, and allowed someone to forget how cruel life can be.
