Review Painted Blind by Michelle A. Hansen
Seventeen years old and agoraphobic, Psyche Middleton vows her dad will never see the risqué photos she took during a summer modeling stint abroad, but one of them ends up on a billboard in her Montana hometown. Now everyone—especially her dad—can see it. And yet, somehow, those are the mundane things in her life because she is about to fall unexpectedly, head-over-heels in love with Erik, a mysterious young man who rescues her from a crowd of admirers, and who she’s never actually seen because…he can make himself invisible.
As strange as this may seem, it’s about to get even stranger. Erik takes her to his palace in an idyllic kingdom, and she is swept into the beauty and culture of his world, but his affection has one condition: she may not see him. Overtaken, intrigued, and still not wholeheartedly believing he’s real, Psyche is going to have to decide if she can love him blindly; because if she can’t, she may lose him forever.

Interview with Julie Cassar
Welcome to my blog Julie! !Thank you for your interview!!!
1)Please tell us something about you and about your series Ruby Blue?
My background is in fine art and I have worked as a graphic designer and painter. I am a mother of three and for the past 11 years have worked part time as a legal assistant. In between family, work, painting, photography and writing, I recently started running and ran my first half-marathon in October 2011. I love coffee, ice cream, wine, chocolate, really good pizza and dancing at the local pub (not necessarily all at the same time! Haha!) I’ve actually had this story in my head for about six or seven years. It’s hard to remember exactly how it came to me because it’s been with me for so long. I started to really love gardening (like my mom) about 10 years ago… and I have always been drawn to the magic of fairies. After my son was born in 2004, as I worked in the garden, I began to get the ideas for this story. I always thought it would be a children’s book, then, I realized that the story I wanted to tell was a bit more mature… and out came Ruby Blue. It’s a YA fantasy/romance book about your average teenager, who is constantly being annoyed by her little brother, is best friends with possibly the only Goth kid in town, and she has a secret... she can see fairies. After possibly the hottest guy she’s ever known finally asks her out, she can barely manage a two-word sentence when a series of bizarre incidents strike their lakeside town. As an ancient myth unfolds, Ruby and her friends must tackle some extraordinary circumstances with her very ordinary abilities.
2)When did you realize you wanted to be a writer and who are the some of your biggest influences?
I didn’t realize that I wanted to write until 2010. That was when I wrote my first novel (still unpublished.) Some of my biggest influences are my kids…but my ideas come from everywhere.
3)Where do you get the motivation to keep writing and doing what you love?
Ahhh. This is a tough one. It’s hard to say. I’ve had the idea for Ruby for so long, and now that I’ve writing her story, I just wait for the characters to tell me what happens next. It’s kind of like I’m watching a really good movie in my head. Sometimes I write every day…and other times, I go weeks without writing any new scenes. I try not to rush the process. It’s hard to find the time to do it, and I tend to do a lot of my writing late at night. I do have another idea for another series, but I won’t start writing that one until Ruby is finished, probably sometime next summer.
4)Which is your favorite book and favorite author?
Too many to pick just one! But I absolutely love the Twilight Saga, and I’m not ashamed to admit it.
5)Outside of writing what you do for fun?
Well, of course I love reading! But outside of books, I love music and dancing and I love photography and painting. I also like to craft things and do scrapbooking…although I don’t have much time for that anymore. In the spring and summer I like to work in my garden. I try to run three times a week and I enjoy doing races every so often to see how hard I can push myself.
6)If you could carry only three things with you to a secluded place, what would those three things be?
My running shoes, my iPod and my Nook.
7) What are you hoping to achieve with your books?
A blissful escape resulting in happy readers. End game? A publishing deal.
8)While you are writing ,have you discovered a character that you where developing feelings of love and for?And was there a character that gave you a headaches?
YES! I absolutely have developed a crush on one of my characters! I simply adore Brennan. I have to say, none of my characters have ever given me a headache…they are all much to fun to write…even the not-so-nice ones… I love finding out what shenanigans they are going to pull.
9)Which is your favorite quote?
I have lots…but here are a few of my favorites:
"Even if you fall flat on your face at least you are moving forward."
- Sue Luke
“The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.” Eden Phillpotts
“Human beings are made up of flesh and blood, and a miracle fiber called courage.”
-George Patton
"You can't go back and make a brand new start, but you can start now and make a brand new end."
-Jack Garmise
"Fiction is a lie. And GOOD fiction is the truth inside the lie.” – Stephen King
10)Anything else you want to share with your romanians readers?
I just want to say thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy Ruby and her friends! And, I’d like to encourage you all to please leave reviews at Amazon and Goodreads for all of your favorite Indie authors because it helps us out more than you know and it lets us know you are enjoying our work!

Cover Reveal Sweet Peril by Wendy Higgins
Anna Whitt, daughter of a guardian angel and a demon, promised herself she’d never do the work of her father—polluting souls. She’d been naive to make such a claim. She’d been naive about a lot of things.
Haunted by demon whisperers, Anna does whatever she can to survive, even if it means embracing her dark side and earning an unwanted reputation as her school’s party girl. Her life has never looked more bleak. And all the while there’s Kaidan Rowe, son of the Duke of Lust, plaguing her heart and mind.
When an unexpected lost message from the angels surfaces, Anna finds herself traveling the globe with Kopano, son of Wrath, in an attempt to gain support of fellow Nephilim and give them hope for the first time. It soon becomes clear that whatever freedoms Anna and the rest of the Neph are hoping to win will not be gained without a fight. Until then, Anna and Kaidan must put aside the issues between them, overcome the steamiest of temptations yet, and face the ultimate question: is loving someone worth risking their life?

Interview with Belle Whittington
First of all, I’d like to thank lovely Eveline for having me over for a cup of cappuccino and a chat! I’m so honored to be here and for the chance to get to know you all.
1.Please tell us something about you and your book Cicada?
I have been daydreaming stories for as long as I can remember. My first recollection of wanting to be a writer was when I was in the second grade, and my teacher, Mrs. Rambin, would have us lay our heads on our desks after lunch while she read us stories full of magic and imagination.
Most of my early writings were stories with a twist of science fiction…even my earliest poems. I remember sitting on the dam of a neighbor’s pond around the time I was eleven, writing a story about space travel. In fact, I still have that little handwritten story. It’s still bound in the same yellow notebook that I put it in way back in the sixth grade!
Growing up in Nacogdoches, the oldest town in Texas, afforded me summers full of adventure with my friends. I call on those adventures and memories a great deal for my YA stories. Cicada has a lot of the energy of those childhood adventures spun throughout. One of them is something that actually happened to me when I was thirteen years old. I was on one of my adventures in the woods with my dog, Dusty. We made our way through the woods to a neighboring pasture and crawled through the barbed wire fence. When we got to the top of one of the rolling hills in the grassy field, I realized I was standing in the middle of a giant circle imprinted in the pasture grass. No one had ever told me about crop circles at that time in my life, so I just thought it was an odd occurrence that there was a strange circle in the tall grass. Now that circle is forever memorialized in a YA novel, Cicada!
Cicada is a YA paranormal/sci-fi novel, which is set in Willis, Texas. Within the pages of this mysterious book, readers will meet Blair Reynolds, her brother Andrew, and their group of friends and follow their adventures as band together in a fight for their lives.
Would you like to see the book trailer? Check it out here
2.How did the story come in to your mind?
There’s not any one thing that inspired me to write Cicada. I find inspiration in everything around me, and there are a lot of cumulative memories of inspiration from over the years that all culminated in the Cicada trilogy! However, I will say that I did include a lot of actual places from the town in which Cicada is set.
For instance, I pass a ranch on my way home every day (and sometimes night!), and out in the middle of one of the grassy fields is a small forest of trees with a dense wall of tightly-grown underbrush. For years, I’ve imagined that something very mysterious was going on inside that forest, and sometimes at night I’d get creeped out while driving by it! Now readers can get a feel for that forest by reading about the “haunted forest” in Cicada!
Like most authors, I love listening to great music while writing. There are so many talented musicians that inspire me while daydreaming and writing my stories. I thought I'd share my inspiration play lists with your lovely readers. :-)
Cicada inspiration playlist
Firefly inspiration playlist
No. 3 inspiration playlist
There’s even a song for Everett
And as an extra bonus, here’s a song for a very important character readers will meet in Firefly. His name is Ash, and, boy oh boy, do I think readers will love to hate to love him!
Many of Horror
Well, I couldn’t help myself but to include this song, too! Without giving away any spoilers, let me just say that this song inspires a very special moment in book three… Hmmm… I wonder who this song could be about? Any thoughts? Post them below in the comments section!
Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop
I hope everyone will enjoy listening to the play lists while reading the books! And I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on how the play lists fit with my books.
And it must not go without giving many thanks to the awesome musicians whose songs have given me so much inspiration. Thank you for sharing your magic!
3.When did you realize you wanted to be a writer and who are the some of your biggest influences?
I suppose I’ve been writing stories for as long as I could put a sentence together on paper. Before that, I was daydreaming stories. Nowadays, I still daydream stories, weaving them in my mind and heart until they feel alive. Then they find their way through my fingertips and onto the page.
Part of my writing journey has been fueled by my love of literature. Reading a beautiful, ancient heroic ballad, such as Beowulf, or a well-written contemporary novel, such as Hunger Games, is like eating a large slice of the best chocolate cake in the world!
And so, with my love of weaving words and daydreaming worlds into reality, writing has become a natural part of my heart and soul.
What are you hoping to achieve with your book?
That’s a really great question … and one that I haven’t been asked before in an interview. I suppose the first thing I wanted to achieve with my book was something that was just for me … to take the story that was in my head and put it into words. Then I wanted to share it with others, because I felt it was a really good story! I feel it’s been well-received by readers and book reviewers alike, and that makes my heart sing.
Cicada has been out for a year, and I feel so honored that it has reached readers in beautiful Romania. Now my greatest wish is that Cicada will one day be published in Romania. Laura, Ramona, and Sabrina have been so wonderful as to create a publishing campaign for Cicada. You can find out more about it here: http://i-am-wide-awake.blogspot.com/p/vrem-cicada-in-romania.html
4.Which is your favorite book and favorite author?
I’m not even sure I can answer this question, because I don’t have any one favourite! Of course I love Jane Austen! Who doesn’t? Getting past that, there are so many others! For instance, Suzanne Collins rocked my world with her Hunger Games trilogy! After I finished Mocking Jay, the characters stayed with me night and day until I picked the trilogy up and reread it!
Then there’s Beth Revis and her awesome Across the Universe series! I was completely engrossed with the first two books, and I cannot wait for the next one! Not only are her characters compelling, but the world she created aboard Godspeed is unique and fresh.
Likewise, Amy Kathleen Ryan’s Glow was enthralling. The twist in her story literally caused me to gasp out loud when I read it! I’m looking forward to reading the sequel to her novel!
It goes without saying that I love J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. I still wish I could have gone to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!
As you can see, I could go on and on… so many terrific authors, so little time And, just about with every book I read, I add another favorite author to my list!
5.Do you need some background when you write?
Since I write fiction, most of the story comes from my imagination. However, I’m a research junkie, and I did do some background research while writing Cicada. For instance, I researched Cândido Godói, and I re-read some of my history books on Latin American legends and folklore while writing Cicada.
6.Describe your idea of a perfect day?
My idea of a perfect day starts out with a visit with my mother for coffee and toast. Then a chance to spend the greatest part of the day writing and promoting my books. That means that I’d get plenty of times to get to know my readers, which I adore! And watching a favorite TV show with my daughter at the end of the day is the perfect way to end the ideal day.
7.Please tell us something about sequel?
The title of the sequel is Firefly. It’s an exciting sequel, because readers will see the main character grow and change. Also, readers will be shocked, and perhaps, pleasantly surprised at how many secrets are revealed. For just as the tagline for Cicada is “Can You Keep a Secret?” the tagline for Firefly is “Some Secrets Run Too Deep.”
8.If you could carry only three things with you to a secluded place, what would those three things be?
I would like to take my cell phone, laptop, and notebook. (I use my notebook to record ideas and thoughts for my books.)
9.Anything else you want to share with your readers?
To all my lovely readers, I’d like to say that I appreciate each and every one of you. Thank you so much for your support, your kindness, and for taking the time to read this interview and get to know me better. I’d like to invite each and every one of you to stop by any or all of my social networking sites and say hello. I adore hearing from my readers and I always respond. One last thing I’d like to say is that Romania readers are beautiful, and I’m totally enjoying getting to know you all!

In a post-apocalyptic world controlled by alien invaders, two teens and a young girl with mysterious powers embark on a dangerous journey. What they find will change everything...
Earth has been conquered. An extraterrestrial race known as The Assembly has abducted the adult population, leaving the planet’s youth to fend for themselves. In this treacherous landscape, Holt, a bounty hunter, is transporting his prisoner Mira when they discover Zoey, a young girl with powerful abilities who could be the key to stopping The Assembly. As they make their way to the cavernous metropolis of Midnight City, the trio must contend with freedom fighters, mutants, otherworldly artifacts, pirates, feuding alien armies, and perhaps most perilous of all: Holt and Mira’s growing attraction to each other.
My review:

Holt is very protective with his dog Max and Max is like a true friend for him and he save him.He lost his sister ans his mother because of the aliens.He has a gift .He is Huelles that means he is immune to the Tone.He fell in love with Mira and he will do anything to peotect her from the aliens.He understand him.
Zoey is a sweet and naive girl.She has a special gift and she needs Holt and Mira to protect her from the aliens because she can save the world.I like her.
I love the relationship between Mira and Holt because both are stubborn and smart and they are funny but they help each other.They are very protective with Zoey and they loves her.
The plot was very interesting.
Thanks to Net Galley for this arc.

Quotes
“There must be a mistake," I said.
He adjusted his bag on his shoulder. "That's a creative name. What do you shorten it to? Missy?”
“Hunter kissed me as if he was going to hell, and he had this one kiss left and he was going to make the most of it.”
“Just to let you know, I talk in my sleep." He shifted on his bed and chucked something on the floor. It could only be one thing. "Also, I sleep naked.”
My favorite mistake by Chelsea M. Cameron
La Editura Litera
Când n-a mai rămas decât tăcerea, oare adevărul se va putea face, în sfârșit, auzit?
Într-o noapte rece de septembrie, Nora Grey se trezește singură în cimitirul din orașul ei, fără să știe cum a ajuns acolo sau de ce. Mai rău, descoperă că nu-și poate aminti nimic din ultimele cinci luni de viață. Se pare că e dată dispărută de săptămâni bune, iar familia și prietenii dau vina pe un răpitor misterios despre care, însă, nimeni nu are nici cel mai mic indiciu.
Odată întoarsă în siguranța casei sale, Nora încearcă să-și reia viața de zi cu zi. Merge la școală, își petrece timpul cu cea mai bună prietenă și încearcă să-l evite pe noul iubit al mamei sale, nimeni altul decât Hank Millar, tatăl dușmancei ei de moarte, Marcie.
Dar o voce interioară nu-i dă pace, îndemnând-o să-l caute pe cel vinovat de coșmarul pe care l-a trăit. Crâmpeie din trecut, cuvinte și imagini nepământene, fără nici o legătură cu traiul ei obișnuit, îi bântuie visele și îi dau stăruitorul sentiment că a pierdut o parte importantă din ea însăși.
Un șir de evenimente neprevăzute o aduce pe Nora față în față cu Jev, un străin frumos, cu ochii negri ca noaptea, care o înspăimântă și o atrage în același timp. El pare să aibă toate răspunsurile și … inima ei. Cu fiecare minut pe care îl petrece alături de tânăr, relația lor devine tot mai profundă, până când își ea dă seama că e pe cale să se îndrăgostească. Din nou.
„– Eu nu pot să dau buzna să‑mi declar intenţiile. Nu pot să te iau pe sus. Trebuie să aştept şi să sper că, într‑o zi, tu o să‑mi ceri asta.
– Şi dacă nu? întrebă Laurel, cu voce aproape şoptită.
– Atunci bănuiesc că voi aştepta toată viaţa.“
Au trecut șase luni de când Laurel a salvat tărâmul fermecat al zânelor. Acum, ea trebuie să-și petreacă vara acolo, pentru a-și dezvolta abilitățile de zână de toamnă. Dar familia ei umană și prietenii îi sunt încă în primejdie de moarte – iar intrarea în Avalon este mai vulnerabilă ca oricând. Va accepta oare Laurel ajutorul lui David, iubitul ei din lumea oamenilor, când va veni clipa să-și salveze prietena, sau se va întoarce către Tamani, înflăcăratul spirit al naturii care o iubește dintotdeauna?
„Surprizele și suspansul abundă în acest nou volum, așa că Farmece este și mai greu de lăsat din mână decât a fost Aripi. Laurel se transformă într-o tânără uimitoare. Conflictul din inima ei nu-i va mira pe cei care știu cum e să fii prins între două persoane pe care le iubești la fel de mult.“

Blog tour My Favorite Mistake by Chelsea M. Cameron
Taylor Caldwell can't decide if she wants to kiss her new college roommate or punch him.
On the one hand, Hunter Zaccadelli is a handsome, blue-eyed bundle of charm. On the other, he's a tattooed, guitar-playing bundle of bad boy. Maybe that's why Taylor's afraid of falling in love with him, or anyone else. She doesn't want to get burned, and even though her other roommates adore him, she wants him gone before it's too late.
Hunter himself has been been burned before, but the fact that Taylor calls him out on his crap and has the sexiest laugh ever make him decide maybe love isn't a lost cause. They make a bet: if she can convince him she truly loves or hates him, he'll leave the apartment--and leave her alone. The problem is, the more time they spend together, the less she hates him, and the more she moves toward love.
But when the man who holds the key to Taylor's fear of giving up her heart resurfaces and threatens to wreck everything, she has to decide: trust Hunter with her greatest secret, or do everything in her power to win that bet and drive him away forever
My review:
Taylor is a beautiful girl caring loving friendy and she loves to eat chocolate.She hates her new college roommate Hunter because he pushes his buttons and he wants to know his greatest secret.But she fell in love with him because he is wonderful charming funny and compuse silly songs for her.He makes her to feel special and he is always there for her.
Hunter is a jerk but a nice one :).He is sexy and he have 5 tatoos and he can cook dance and he can play guittar.He loves his familly and he will do anything for his friends.He loves to sing for Harper and to spoil her.He is so sweet with her.
He fell in love with Taylor because he knows her very well and he loves to tease her to make love with her or to be with her.He never give up on Taylor and he is always there for her to make her laugh or to held her or to make her happy.
I love them because they are funny and they are perfect for each other .I really loved this book.Thanks to the author for this arc :).
Welcome to my blog Mase !
Interview with Mase Hunter's cousin
1) Please tell us something about you and your family
I'm the oldest, and I have a little sister named Harper. She has cerebral palsy, so she's in a wheelchair. She's amazing. Then there's my mom, my dad and then my cousin Hunter also lives with us. You'd be surprised how much insanity goes on in our house, between Hunter and Harper. I'm not sure which one of them acts more like a child sometimes.
2)What do you do for fun
I love going out. I'm not much for staying at home, unless a bunch of people are around. I like video games and ultimate frisbee, and don't tell anyone, but I kinda like bowling.
3) Please tell us something funny about Hunter
That dude is whipped. I've never seen him like this before. I keep catching him smiling when he thinks no one is looking. Oh, I know. So he pretends like he doesn't care what she thinks about him, but he's been texting me non-stop about what he should get her for her birthday. It's not for a while, but he's determined to get her something epic. He's trying to figure out how much a library of her favorite books would cost. He is so gone.
4) Tell us about your first love?
Aw man. Her name was Stacey Nash and she was six inches taller than me. She was the Megan Fox of my sixth grade class. She never gave me the time of day, but I worshiped the ground she walked on. The best thing that ever happened to me that year was when I got to slow dance with her once, and I my hand accidentally (on purpose) grazed her boob.
5)Tell us something about you and Darah. First date maybe.
Oh, man. Our first date was kind of a disaster. I had the whole plan to take her to this nice place and make a good impression, but I forgot to get reservations, so we were SOL. So we ended up going to the local pizza place, called Pat's. I knew she was awesome when she told me she would have felt uncomfortable in the other place, and started picking songs to play on the jukebox. When she put on "We Are The Champions" I knew she was my girl. She also kissed me first. I love a girl who takes charge.
6)What was the first thing that came to your mind when you saw Darah?
Damn, she had long legs. Then she asked if I could help move some stuff in her room, and I was all over it. She has this quiet way about her, but you can tell she's always watching everything. If you're lucky enough to be someone she cares about, she'd move the earth for you.
7)What's the first thing you think when you wake-up?
Usually it's that I want to smash my alarm, and the next is I wonder when I'm going to see Darah.
8) Which is your favorite book?
Fight Club, but I'm not supposed to talk about that. *winks*
Thank you for your interview :)!

Double Trailer Reveal
Luminosity by Stephanie Thomas
Blurb:
My name is Beatrice. When I was born, I was blessed with the Sight. I was immediately removed from my parents and enrolled in the Institution. At the age of twelve, I had my first true vision, earning my raven’s wings. And when I turned seventeen, one of my visions came true. Things haven’t been the same since.
The Institution depends on me to keep the City safe from our enemy, the Dreamcatchers, but I’m finding it harder to do while keeping a secret from everyone, including my best friend Gabe. It is a secret that could put us all in danger. A secret that could kill me and everyone close to me.
But the enemy has been coming to me in my dreams, and I think I’m falling in love with him. He says they’re coming. He says they’re angry. And I think I’ve already helped them win.

Stephanie Thomas has been writing ever since she could put letters together to form words. When she was a small child, she would present her mother and father with self-made newspapers filled up with make believe stories and pictures. Her love for writing followed her all throughout her schooling, where she entered and won writing contests of all sorts. Stephanie decided to become an English teacher and completed her B.A. at The Pennsylvania State University. While teaching, she later went on to get her Master’s in writing from The Johns Hopkins University. She completed her very first manuscript during her graduate studies, and by the end of the program, she had completed two more. Stephanie is quick to tell anyone that she’s a born and raised Philadelphian, and her heart will always belong there. She moved to Baltimore with her husband, and they’ve been living there for the last five years with their doggie, Sailor, and their rabbit, Buns (aka “T Sizzle).

Blurb:
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. She’s a military legacy who’s been trained by her father and exposed to war strategies and societal information no one can 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.
