Allison O'Malley's plan is to go to grad school so she can get a good job and take care of her schizophrenic mother. She has carefully closed herself off from everything else, including a relationship with Ethan, who she's been in love with for as long as she can remember.

What is definitely not part of the plan is the return of her long-lost father, who claims he can bring Allison's mother back from the dark place her mind has gone.

This I Promise You Blog Hop and Giveaway

This modern day epic romance is a love story in the truest sense.

You only get one first of anything, and no matter the time, or space, or age, you never forget your firsts.

When thirteen year old Nicky Moore’s parents decide to buy a small summer beach cottage at Atlantic Beach, North Carolina, she thought her life would end. It didn’t matter the beauty of the area - land and water as far as the eye could see - she was bound and determined to make her family’s summer vacation as dismal as she felt. That was until she met a boy from down the beach; a beautiful boy, with the most intense brown eyes she had ever seen and a smile that could light the ocean on fire. A summer that Nicky thought was doomed from the start, turned into a summer that she would never forget; one full of firsts. It was impossible for her to know years later how one seemingly little decision could change everything forever, but soon, as an adult, Nicky will find out that everything she once thought were real and the promises once made, were lost in a sea of inner turmoil.

My Review -

This story is touching, sweet, sad, so sad, and it made me cry. I cried on more than one occasion. I know this story was important for Tressa to tell, and that makes it even more emotional for me. I think beach lovers and those of us that believe in true love, will enjoy. No paranormal, no trendy hip sex story, this story came from deep inside, and the emotion was real. Anyone who has lost someone they love, will feel the tug on their heart. I did.

This story is appropriate for ages 12 and over - although it does deal with a sensitive subject. Thank you, Tressa, for telling this story.

Mermaid's Curse - Daniele Lanzarotta

Synopsis:

Arianna always felt like she didn’t belong in the world where she was born.  Ever since she was little, she used to hide behind the rocks in the sea, and watch the human family who spent their summers on that island.  Over the years, there was nothing she wished more than to be like them, especially so she could get close to Blake, the human boy who she saw turn into a troubled teenager and then, an unhappy man.
Once her dad grew tired of her dreams and hopes for a reality that is not her own, Arianna is thrown into an arranged marriage, and her only way out of it is to make a deal with the power-hungry man who will give her everything that she has ever dreamed of.  Dreams that turn into nightmares as she watches Blake’s world fall apart, because of her and Blake’s inability to control their desires for one another.

BIODaniele Lanzarotta is the author of paranormal/fantasy novels, including the Imprinted Souls Series, Academy of the Fallen, and A Mermaid’s Curse. She has a bachelor's in business and finance and a MBA. With only a few semesters left in school, Daniele started writing as a hobby, but it didn't take long for her to be consumed by her stories. That is her passion, and she now has several projects under way.
She enjoys reading and writing young adult novels with just about any sort of paranormal or supernatural bent...vampires... ghosts... She also enjoys watching hockey, playing rock band, guitar hero and spending time with the family.

REVIEW

   I'm not going to write another synopsis, just my views.  First, I must say I wasn't sure about the mermaid thing....but hey, I write about werewolves and they aren't my thing either.  Well slap me silly, what a fun read.  Mermaid loves human, who is engaged (or almost) to another human...to a sinister brother, a horrible man, a lovely child and pissed off ocean.  My kind of angst, romance, imagination, and rainy afternoon read.  It didn't rain for me, but rain would have made the mermaid thing that much better.  Although the book is NA, I would be comfortable with 14+ to read.  Just the right amount of love and dammit that cliff hanger!   Oh my!  

   For people that don't have an imagination and believe in love or paranormal tales (tails) of mermaids, you might want to steer clear.  

   I received an ARC of this book by the author in trade for an honest review.

Dear Journal,

Mylandra spent the night in my hotel room with me.  I have a headache from that sage thingy she keeps burning “to chase away da evil in da room”.  I think there must be at least a hundred candles burning right now.  If the sprinklers go off in the hotel it will be her fault, just sayin’.  Even though she is freaky and scares me a little, she is growing on me.  I don’t know what hold Pascale has on her, but it has something to do with a binding curse she flubbed.

Oh goody, it’s song time.  She is walking around the room with that damn sage wad that smells like pot and singing a Jamaican song.  Probably some hoo doo mixed in.  Gotta go, the songstress says I must sit still and meditate.  Whatevs! TTYS J

Happy New Year! Giveaway 1 Autographed copy of TLOK

The Legacy of Kilkenny

book one

by Devyn Dawson

    People ask me all the time about where I got the idea for TLOK.  I knew I wanted to write a book about family and friends, but I needed teenagers to read it.  Yes, the story is about werewolves, and no they aren't like Twilight.  I have absolutely no problem with Twilight's werewolves, I mean seriously who doesn't love them some Jacob, right?  My werewolves have more to worry about than a damsel in distress, that happens to be in love with a vampire and a werewolf.  TLOK is about friendship, and how far will we go to protect a friend?  How far will we go to stand up for what we believe in?  How in touch with our humanity are we really, and what would we do to make sure we stayed in touch with it? 

      My two main characters, Abel Casey and Pru Phelan are beautiful as you can see on the cover of the book.  Abel obviously has a crush on the princess of the pack Pru, but she has her eyes on her bodyguard Oakley.  Abel is a gentleman about his feelings, and realizes that if he is indeed the Great Wolf, he must stay focused.  What is a werewolf story without a vampire?  Arien, he is a perfect male specimen, minus the fact he is an obnoxious vampire that needles Pru at every chance he gets. Now we get back to the question about why I chose this subject, the answer is, they are interesting.  You have the hierarchy within the pack, as well as the lower ranked members, but all together they form a well defined pack.  Isn't that what happens in a family?  Isn't that what teenagers deal with in both their friendships and their family?  Of course they aren't werewolves and vampires, but they have the same rankings.  

    That was a long answer to a short question.  I guess you'll think twice about asking me anything.  I look forward to your comments and I hope to make a lot of new friends.  

    I have some more exciting news, my book Malevolence Book Two, will be out in Jan 2012.  I'm so excited - more info to come soon!

Character Interview with Abel & Pru

Abel Casey

Here is a candid interview with Abel & Pru - the two lead characters in The Legacy of Kilkenny - I hope you enjoy!

Abel:
1. Have you ever fantasized about attacking Julie while in wolf form?  *Laughing*  No, I can honestly say I haven’t.  Maybe now I will. 

2. The first time you "flew" into a tree and then jumped back down, it didn't end well for you or your ankles. Have you since been able to successfully jump without breaking any bones?  Oh man, yeah, that was totally embarrassing.  We called in a stuntman to train me on how to land without hurting myself.  Don’t tell anyone, but I actually went to Missouri for a week to attend a circus class.  They put belts around my waist and lifted me high in the air, swinging me around like a balloon until it was time to come down.  Dolly told me it made me ‘graceful’ when I jumped.  If the pack finds out about that, they will never let me forget that I’m graceful. *grins as he rolls his eyes*

3. Do you miss your friendship with Shane, or do you think things are better since you and he drifted apart? Do you ever wonder if you'd have ended up being like him if you hadn't met Pru?

I miss Shane all of the time and maybe when he gets out of rehab I will invite him out to the farm.  Chrissy helped me organize an intervention for him and I paid for this really amazing rehab place in Florida, their success rate is very high.  No pun intended.  He should be out soon.  I can say without a doubt that I would never do drugs.  I can’t believe he did, but I’m confident he will be fully recovered and will stay away from the drugs.  At least I hope so.

 
4. When you're a wolf, what's your favorite animal to hunt? Do you like to hunt alone or do you have more fun when other werewolves are with you?  I was a little self conscience about having people around in the beginning but it’s getting easier.  We have this rabbit that Pru insists we can’t harm it, but we can play with him.  He is a fast little sucker, man he can weave in and out of the trees like nobody’s business.

5. Does the idea of bumping into the Kilkenny Pack again, and Patrick in particular, make you feel nervous or excited? Are you ready to flaunt your new status as the Great Wolf, or do you still need more time to get used to it?  There is a pack convention next year in Ireland, all alphas will be there.  I think I’ll be ready, I’ll cross my fingers.  I believe that convention takes place in the third book.  You’ll have to wait and see how it goes.  

Pru Phelan

1. Did you ever decide on a good way to kill Abel? What was the most bizarre death-plan you ever came up with for him?  There is a rare spider that the bite will make a person look as if they are dead and it can be as long as a week before the person comes out of it.  The problem was, it would be very painful for him in the hours it takes before the venom immobilizes him.  We scratched that idea but came up with one we were going to use on him after the holiday weekend.  I’d talked to Alecia, the head of a local coven and she made a concoction that would do the same thing.  It was a potion he would drink and the spell would make him look dead to anyone that sees him.  I still have the potion in my room. *smiling* It might come in handy.

2. You drive a pretty sweet car, a 2011 SS Camaro. Did you pick this particular car out for yourself, or was it a gift? Have you always had amazingly fabulous cars to drive, or was this your first car?  Oh, my Camero?  It was a gift from my parents when I graduated.  It is the first car that is all mine.  I had free use of the farm truck and it wasn’t a fancy one like my dad’s.  No, it was always caked in red mud and reeked like horse dung.  I would have been happy with anything that didn’t smell like a farm. *laughing*  Seriously, I would have been.  I hear that Oakley and Bryon picked out the Camero and convinced my dad it would be perfect for me. 

3. Sparks fly when Shaynie moves into your house. Do you think things would have been so heated between the two of you if you'd grown up with a sister or two? And for that matter, how different do you think you'd be if you'd had a younger sister growing up?  Shaynie?  Yeah, well she is special. (clears throat) Shaynie is perfectly aggravating and at the same time she is sweet as syrup.  I’m still on the fence about her, but I will say she is a master at her craft.  I’ve always liked the fact that we are an all male pack.  I guess it would have been nice to have someone to do girl things with, I just made the boys play dolls.  I did!  Ask them!

4. If Oakley weren't in the picture, would you allow yourself to enjoy, or give into, the dreams you've been having lately about Arien? Or do you think they'd still be horribly disconcerting? Because I've gotta say, for a mean, evil vampire, he's pretty hot. Don't you think so too?  He may be pleasing to the eye, but he is not a good vampire, not that I think any of them are good, but he is far from it.  We found Allie’s journal after she left and I see her in a totally different way.  The pack decided to let Devyn release the journal, she named it The Seduction and it came out on Oct 31.  I can’t imagine that I would ever get involved with a vampire after what I read.  They are sneaky, narcissistic, indulgent pains in the ass.  I’m sorry, can I say ass?  Pain in the butt.
