Giveaway: Hades by Alexandra Adornetto

In celebration of the release of 'HADES' Macmillan Children's Publishing Group has a new trailer, and a giveaway!

Bethany and Xavier are even closer since battling Jake Thorn and his evil influence (in Halo) and Beth and her angel siblings must still protect Venus Cove from the Dark Forces.

When a party game – a séance – inadvertently releases Jake from the Underworld, he disguises himself and tricks Beth into taking a ride on his motorcycle. When the highway opens up and swallows them, Beth learns too late that she’s now a prisoner in hell. What happens to angels there? As her archangel brother, Gabriel, her sister Ivy, Xavier, and her best friend, Molly search for her, Beth must weigh Jake’s bargaining for her freedom: one night with him, and she will be released back to Earth.
Can Jake be trusted in this wager? And is he also using Beth to engineer the fall of the archangel Gabriel? Xavier has already lost one love – when Jake tricks him into thinking that Bethany is dead, his grief and anger result in a betrayal that will leave Bethany – and readers – wondering if he is so good after all.

It will be up to Beth to use everything she’s learned about her powers as an angel – and about love – to free herself and those she loves from the clutches of Hades

That’s right more covers.  It feels like I’m not getting anytime for reviews anymore!!  Oh, well. I can live with it for more covers.

Flesh and Blood by Kristen Painter

	Amazon: Flesh and Blood (House of Comarré) Goodreads: Flesh and Blood Source: Goodreads Genre: Paranormal Romance Series: House of Comarré, Book 2 Shera’s Thoughts:  Guilty confession, when these covers came out I was too busy drooling over them I forgot to post them! Even cooler then the first. It’s the awesomest cover ever.  This is one that you’ll always be comparing other covers to.

Bad Blood by Kristen Painter

	Amazon: Bad Blood (House of Comarré) Goodreads: N/A Source: Bad Blood Genre: Paranormal Romance Series: House of Comarré, Book 3 Shera’s Thoughts:  Ooo, even better then the last. It’s so fun wondering where the ribbon will pop up next.

Bewitching by Alex Flinn

	Amazon: Bewitching Goodreads: Bewitching Source: ATUF Genre: Paranormal YA Series: Kendra Chronicles, Book 1 Shera’s Thoughts:  Finally Flinn gets a decent cover.
Author’s Thoughts: It's not completely final. For example, it will say #1 New York Times bestselling author, but I'm guessing only my publisher and my mom would notice that difference. Books you might want to read before this one:

Knight’s Curse by Karen Duvall

	Amazon: Knight's Curse (Luna Books) Goodreads: Knight's Curse Source: ATUF Genre: Urban Fantasy Series: Debut Shera’s Thoughts:  Very cool idea with the stain glass window. Yet it’s just not doing it for me.
Author’s Thoughts: N/A Previous Books: N/A

Airel by Aaron Patterson & Chris White

	Amazon: Airel Goodreads: Airel Source: ATUF Genre: Paranormal YA Series: Ariel Saga, Book 1 Shera’s Thoughts:  Oooo, ahhhhhhh.  Now this is rich and dramatic.  Just when you think they can’t do anything more for the prom dresses. They pull it back in the game!

A Beautiful Evil by Kelly Keaton

	Amazon: A Beautiful Evil Goodreads: A Beautiful Evil Source: ATUF Genre: Paranormal YA Series: Gods and Monsters, Book 2 Shera’s Thoughts:  This is such a huge step up from the first book’s cover.  Feels like the need to do a makeover. Oh, and speaking of feelings—feels like a deja vu.  Remember the Shifting cover.  A Beautiful Evil definitely pulls out better.

Author Gossip(2) & Cover Coveting(4)

Cha-cha-cha changes! And I wasn’t kidding! 

As you can see the the blog has gone under some modifications and now some of the posting styles.  Let me know what you think.  Right now I’m aiming for a more polished look. Hopefully.

Certain books you’re just waiting about the news that they’ve been optioned for a movie.  Others you just know will never make it.  Mostly certain PNR titles. However, if the relatively clean Sookie Stackhouse books can be made into dirty HBO junk it starts giving you hope.  One of those hopeful titles is now getting some daylight.

Karen Marie Moning’s Darkfever series has been optioned by Dreamworks!!  The buzz has been all over the place.  So I feel the need to be a kill joy.  You’ll remember quite a long while back—probably only I remember—that I posted that 20th Century Fox under its New Regency banner had acquired the rights.  That’s the problem, rights get acquired all the time, there’s no guarantee that it will actually make it to the big screen.  So until the director is picked, and the script writer gets fired up, I won’t hold my breath.(Source)

On the shorter side the fabulous Anya Bast will be starting a new series called Brotherhood of the Damned. The first book is called Embraced of the Damned. Not much has been released about the series.  So far I’m convinced it’s a vampire themed series.  She’s done Witches and Fairies, with all new twists.  So I’m hoping she’ll add her own spin on Vampires or Werewolves next. 

It’s sad to see the Dark Magick series coming to an end, but I know Bast will keep us on our toes for her new series!

Tempted by Blood by Laurie London

Get the book: Tempted by Blood Source: Wicked Scribes Genre: Paranormal Romance Series: Sweetblood, Book 3 Shera’s Thoughts:  Stunning indeed.  Yet the lighting and the blue hew don’t mix well. I’ll take the authors lead and get lost in his eyes.

Author’s Thoughts: I wasn't sure I had the okay to show the cover for Jackson and Arianna's story, Tempted By Blood, but it's showing up out there, so I wanted to make sure you all saw it. It's the third book in the Sweetblood series and it'll be out early next year. I'm loving this cover!!! Originally scheduled for release in February (some digital catalogs have it listed for late January), it might actually get moved to March, depending on my publisher's schedule. I should have an official release date soon. And when I do, I'll let you know. In the meantime, I'm going to get lost in those eyes... Previous Books:
