Ocaria by Sydney P Berns

 Goodreads Blurb

Syyren Kantrella, captain of the guards, leaves her underwater world to seek the aid of the self-exiled prince. The oracle, the woman who maintains the underwater ecosystem in Ocaria, has disappeared. The prince is the only other person in existence who can take her place, but ... there is a price.
The last thing Marcus Versar Ay Seamius, a real estate mogul, wants to do is to return to Ocaria. Yet, for a chance to be with Syyren, he is willing to make a devil’s bargain, even if it means remembering why he left in the first place.

Review 4/5
I enjoyed this book it is a fresh fast paced and very sensual read. It was a very interesting story with very good description for the sensual scenes which I really enjoyed had my blood boiling ladies. I just felt the characters and the setting needed the description like the sensual scenes. I really could not get a clear picture in my head of what Syyren and Marcus looked like, and I would have loved to been able to do that for sure. And I really love the cover so pretty. Syyren leaves her home to seek the help of the Prince (Marcus) of her underworld home (who now lives on land ) when is cousin the Oracle of the underwater world goes missing and he is the only one that can calm things done until the Oracle is found. Syyren and Marcus set out to find the Oracle on one fast paced action adventure and end up finding each other again along the way.

Caged Moon by Rachel Deagan

Goodreads Blurb
Haunted by an animal attack, seventeen year old Charlotte feels she is being followed. When she runs into a mysterious boy while camping, she’s afraid. Nothing seems right about him. Despite trying to stay away, there is an unmistakable draw to be near him. Even his scent smells familiar. But the closer she gets, the faster the secrets begin to unravel. Not only is he not human, he may have a link to her past. When Charlotte finds out someone wants her dead, she is torn between love and fear. Can she trust him to keep her safe?

Review 
Wow this was a really good book with twist and turns throughout that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It is a definitely a page turner that you will not be able to put down until it is over. Then it will leave you wanting and praying that there will be more to this series. I do not know if this is part of a series or not but I will say I sure hope it is. Rachel has created wonderful characters that have more depth to them then you think is possible. Along with a world that just sounds beautiful. In this book we follow Charlotte on basically a self discovery of sorts she always knew she was different but never realized how different until the YUMMY Liam ( Aiden ) finds her at a camp ground. And things with them unfold into a story of suspense, action, love and of course finding ones self. Rachel has created a wolf tale unlike most that is a different and awesome take on some of the other werewolf legends.

Both master and apprentice are descendents of the Tuatha De Danaan, a magical race of warriors from Ireland. Scattered long ago to the four corners of the world, the De Danaan wage a two thousand year old clandestine battle with their ancient enemy, the Amandán, a breed of goblin-like creatures.
Now with the beasts concentrating their attacks on Finn, he and his master must race to locate the lost Spear of the Tuatha De Danaan, the only weapon that can destroy the Amandán, all the while hiding his true identity from his new friends, Rafe and Savannah, twins whose South African roots may hold a key to Finn's survival.

In the future, only one rule will matter:
Don't. Ever. Peek.
Seventeen-year-old Ari Alexander just broke that rule and saw the last person she expected hovering above her bed - arrogant Jackson Locke, the most popular boy in her school. She expects instant execution or some kind of freak alien punishment, but instead, Jackson issues a challenge: help him, or everyone on Earth will die.
Ari knows she should report him, but everything about Jackson makes her
question what she's been taught about his kind. And against her instincts, she's falling for him. But Ari isn't just any girl, and Jackson wants more than her attention.  Sheąs a military legacy whoąs been trained by her father and exposed to war strategies and societal information no one can
know - especially an alien spy, like Jackson. Giving Jackson the
information he needs will betray her father and her country, but keeping
silent will start a war.

Interview with the AWESOME Cidney Swanson

I am so excited to be apart of The Unfurl Blog Tour.

Synopsis

Against all expectations, Samantha Ruiz has survived attacks by two of Helmann’s deadliest assassins. She’s alive, but she’s far from safe. Helmann is planning a second Holocaust and wants Sam to play a starring role. Will, meanwhile, separated from Sam by an ocean, seeks a way to prevent Helmann’s apocalypse. Along with Sir Walter and Mickie, Will plays a deadly game sneaking into Geneses’ facilities, discovering unsettling clues as to Helmann’s plans. The clock ticks down as Will and Sam discover just how much they must be willing to sacrifice to stop Helmann. UNFURL, the powerful conclusion to The Ripple Series, will leave fans breathless.

 

I have not yet read the book but I am looking forward to reading it. And I promise as soon as I get it read I will leave a review.

I was able to Interview the Awesome Cidney for The Unfurl Blog Tour. YAY 

About The Author

Cidney Swanson is the author of The Ripple Series. She began writing at age seven; her first novel began with “Ouch,” and her characters have been suffering ever since. Cidney lives in Eugene, Oregon with her husband, three kids, two cats, one dog, and entirely too much rain. I make stuff up and type it into whatever device is at hand. Author of the Ripple Series: Invisible, In Love, In Peril. A fresh twist on Paranormal Romance!

Interview

Can you tell us a little bit about yourself.

I’m a mom of three who loves reading way more than is strictly healthy for family life. I also love chocolate, tea with milk, and campfires. I hate the rain. But I live where it rains 10 months out of the year. Go figure.

1. When did you know that you wanted to be a writer?

I’ve known since at least age seven, and maybe earlier. I began writing stories as soon as I could hold a pencil and form words with it.

2. What has been the best and worst comments you have received since being a published author?

The worst comment (meaning the one that I went, “Oh, bummer!” when I read it) has come to me a couple of times as a variation of “Hate the cliffhanger ending!” (Of Rippler.)On the other hand, I’ve had an equal number of people say they love the cliffhanger ending.

The comments that make me happiest are some variation of, “I’ve never read anything like this before,” or “This is a total breath of fresh air!” Or of course anything to do with being in love with Will, my main guy character.

3. Do you see yourself or someone you know in your characters?

Well, you have to keep in mind I’m a lot older than my main characters and some of my minor characters as well. But there’s a lot of me in Sylvia, Sam’s step-mom.

4. How long did it take to get your first book published?

I started writing the story in March of 2009. It was published late May, 2011. In the book world, that is pretty darned fast.

5. What do you do when you are not writing awesome books for us to read?

Answering fan emails, tweeting and FB’ing, writing blog posts, touring, drinking tea, reading, planning my next book, cooking, driving my kids around, and sneaking bites of dark chocolate from my desk drawer (shhhh! It’s our secret, internet, okay?)

6. What advice would you give to aspiring author?

Read, read, read. Read the classics heavily. There’s a reason they’re classics. Read widely in the genre in which you would like to write, and keep up-to-date in this area. (I.e., read what is selling well today.)

AND

Write, write, write. The muse does not make visits with sufficient frequency to keep most of us writing. Write on a schedule whether you feel inspired or not. I find that inspiration follows B-I-C (butt-in-chair) pretty predictably.

Do you have anything you would like to share with your readers?

I’m so very grateful to those of you who are helping my series climb the charts. It is an incredible privilege to be doing what I love full-time, and I don’t take it for granted!

Also, read Laini Taylor’s Daughter of Smoke and Bone if you liked my books. It was my favorite read of the year. Thanks so much for having me here today!

Review of The Nightmare Garden by Caitlin Kittredge

Goodreads Blurb

Everything Aoife thought she knew about the world was a lie. There is no Necrovirus. And Aoife isn't going to succumb to madness because of a latent strain—she will lose her faculties because she is allergic to iron. Aoife isn't human. She is a changeling—half human and half from the land of Thorn. And time is running out for her.
When Aoife destroyed the Lovecraft engine she released the monsters from the Thorn Lands into the Iron Lands and now she must find a way to seal the gates and reverse the destruction she's ravaged on the world that's about to poison her.

 

Nightmare Garden Book Trailer

Review

Caitlin has done it once again. She wrote an outstanding book. I love Caitlin’s writing style it is FANTASTIC. I love Aoife I love the way her character is so realistic. I liked the way she sorta makes the same mistake in this book has she did in The Iron Thorn. Her character did not grow as much as some of the other characters but that is part of why I like her so much. And in this book she is determined to fix the mess she created when she broke the Lovecraft Machine by finding The Nightmare Clock and turning back time but there are a few people who will do anything to stop that from happening. Aoife and her group of friends set out on a journey to right the wrongs that she has created by letting the fae and monsters into the human world when she destroyed the Lovecraft Machine. Things are not going to be easy though so you are in for an epic adventure as Aoife tries to right her wrong doing by listening to Tremaine who does not seem to be finished with her yet. I will let you all know this does leave on a cliffhanger making you wished you had book 3 in The Iron Codex Trilogy : The Mirrored Shard scheduled for release in late 2012 to early 2013 now.

I love the way Caitlin transports me into another time and place with her writing. Her world building is well out of this world awesome.
