Cover Reveal Savior (A Higher Collective Novel) by: Jennifer Malone Wright

Formerly... The Birth of Jaiden by Jennifer Malone Wright

Savior (A Higher Collective Novel)

Alexander Lucas is a man of faith, casino owner, and vampire. He should be living the Reno high life of riches and immortality. Instead, he wakes each night despising the blood on his hands and begging for a reason to continue on.
The last beat of his heart took place shortly after losing his family to a gruesome and violent death. One snowy night, the creature who had been stalking him finally took his life, in turn giving him the gift of immortality. Yet, immortality to Alex is not a gift, but rather a curse to live in eternal pain.
Nearly a century of tortured existence leads him to a dumpster in a dark alley where he finds a reason for continuing on. Nestled between bits of debris and rubbish a tiny infant wails for help. He calls for his best friend and guardian angel, Danielle, who explains to him that he has been chosen to raise this baby, for she would some day become a very powerful, natural witch. She tells him it is now his job to protect her from the enemy who wants her so badly, yet also to be her father.
Thinking this angel is out of her mind, Alex refuses many times until Danielle convinces him that the enemy, Malcolm and his wife Levine, cannot obtain the child and that they are, indeed attempting to find her. He must keep her safe, because if evil hands raise her than she will grow to possess the power to annihilate them all.
Luckily, Alex is not alone, he has The Higher Collective to assist in his mission. With the combined powers of the Vampires, Angels, Dark Angels, Witches and Warlocks, The Higher Collective prepares for a battle to protect the child from the evil she may possibly inherit.

Review of The Ninth Taghairm: Redemption (Taghairm Chronicles, # 1) by: Pyxi Rose

 
The Ninth Taghairm: Redemption (Taghairm Chronicles, # 1)  by: Pyxi Rose
I am honestly really speechless and in dire need of finding the proper words to explain what I just read. WHAT a completely astounding read. I have no idea where to go with this review. But I can tell you this, you have to read this book. This book is like NONE I have ever read. Sadly I know this review will not do this book justice. But having said that, it should tell you everything you need to know!

I really am blown away seriously. I have NEVER read such a powerful overwhelming story like this. It touched me in a level I didn't know I had. WOW!!! The Author has a unique way of writing that almost brings this scary but mysterious feeling to you. Her twist on mythical aspects is wonderful. I almost got a creepy feeling as I was reading this, if that makes any sense. Like this Author has a very dark side to her.



Power characters with intense description of details. Like I said eerie but in a profound way of making you loose sense everything around you. One thing for sure, it is undeniable how remarkably this Author took this very complex story and made it flow so beautifully. From the opening to the closing this book, I was very captivated and most intrigued. She has wrapped love, endurance, heartache, and betrayal and made a masterpiece. Let me not forget to add a forbidden love but not in a normal boring way. You read about paying for your choices by reaping the consequences. If you want a read that provides you with a challenge, yet different from the norm, and shaking you to the core of your body, read this book.


The only way I really can sum of this review is to use the word POWERFUL. I am just speechless honestly!
Even though the story leaves you with a sense of completion, there is enough evidence to know that there will be more to this series.

The Best Selling The Premonition by Amy Bartol

The Best Selling The Premonition  by Amy Bartol 
************************************************************

My name is Evie Claremont and this was to be the making of me--my freshman year of college. I had been hoping that once I had arrived on Crestwood's campus, the nightmare that I've been having would go away. It hasn't. I may be an inexperienced seventeen-year-old, but I'm grounded...sane. Since meeting sophomore Reed Wellington, however, nothing makes any sense. Whenever he is near, I feel an attraction to him--a magnetic kind of force pulling me towards him. I know what you're thinking...that sounds fairly awesome. Yeah, it would--if he liked me, but Reed acts as if I'm the worst thing that's ever happened to Crestwood...or him. But, get this, for some reason every time I turn around he's there, barging into my life. What is the secret he is keeping from me? I'm hoping that it is anything but what I expect: that he is not exactly normal...and neither am I. So maybe Crestwood won't be the making of me, but it could be the breaking of me. I have been left to wonder if the dark future my dream is foretelling is...inescapable.

*************************************************

I don’t open my eyes so I can’t see him, but I can smell him. He thickens the air I breathe, choking me with his scent…his aroma. I shiver. I have to resist. If I’m not strong, then I will be relegated to the same fate as this predator whose sickness infects me even now. But now, I crave him and he knows that; he has been counting on my need to end the gnawing pain. How he would savor my surrender. I’m alive, but how much longer will it take until I beg him not to be?


****************************************************

I hang my head in sorrow for just a moment when I know I am truly alone. I feel like I’m going to my execution, just as he had said. Then I move forward again. I hop a fence of fieldstone and cross a field dotted with Queen Anne’s lace. Goose bumps rise on my arms as I pass the cluster of windmills that I have seen in a dream. The scent is sweet in the field though, not the scent of heat, like it had been when it was forced upon me in visions. I gaze down the hill, beyond the small, whitewashed house that I knew would be there. The church looms dark and grim with its rough-hewn, timber façade, capped by tall, oblong spires reaching to the sky. Black, ominous clouds have collected above the roofline, as if Heaven is showing me the way.
****************************************************

Cold, fine drops of rain fall softly on my cheeks as I emerge from the darkness of the ship's interior to the gray, overcast sky of the main deck. Pulling my dark pea coat tighter to my body, the wind lifts red tendrils of my hair. I walk slowly to the railing overlooking the water.I catch my first sight of the Irish coastline; its craggy landscape makes me shiver in dread. I find it difficult to imagine now how the Gancanagh had made this their home for so long without anyone realizing it. The cold, moss-covered edifices practically scream their presence. As I study the shadows between the falling-down stone, I imagine creeping shapes of undead Faeries grasping the rock, waiting for our ship to draw nearer to their position.
Tipping my face up, I let the rain wash over me. It bathes away the frigid sweat of fear that has broken on my brow. "You don't know how fiercely beautiful you are, do you?" A quiet voice behind me asks, causing me to stiffen and fix my eyes on the rocks along the shoreline.
****************************************************
About the Author:
I live in Michigan with my husband and our two sons. My family is very supportive of my writing. When I’m writing, they often bring me the take-out menu so that I can call and order them dinner. They listen patiently when I talk about my characters like they’re real. They rarely roll their eyes when I tell them I’ll only be a second while I finish writing a chapter…and then they take off their coats. They ask me how the story is going when I surface after living for hours in a world of my own making. They have learned to accept my “writing uniform” consisting of a slightly unflattering pink fleece jacket, t-shirt, and black yoga pants. And they smile at my nerdy bookishness whenever I try to explain urban fantasy to them. In short, they get me, so they are perfect and I am blessed. Please visit me at my website

Inheritance by S.K. Whiteside Blog Stop

Inheritance by S.K. Whiteside


“Talk about hell on earth…”
Sekhmet’s life was pretty good; you know for a goddess. Her job was simple – kill those that sought to go against the creator. It was a job she was good at but unfortunately got a little too carried away with when she almost single handedly wiped out mankind. For her penance she has spent the last thousand years serving as one of the Guardians; a group of immortals that protect mankind and led by the Goddess Isis – who kind of had her own anger issues.
The Azura, a league of immortal bad asses, are literally trying to bring hell on earth and with it, Set – the banished God and ruler of the Makhaut. For the first time in history and with the help of the Makhaut, they may actually pull it off. Even the Guardians are at a loss.
In the Hail Mary of all attempts to save the world Isis, now going by Isira, sends Sekhmet to New Orleans, to find and protect the “Key” but when it is determined that a traitor lies among the Guardians, Sekhmet, now going by the name of Syn, is forced to seek help in the most unlikely of places…her least favorite person and fellow Guardian…Malachi.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Author Bio:

Writer and lover of all things dark and mysterious. Most of her stories have a background in Egyptian Mythology with a modern day adaptation and unique twist.

S.K. Whiteside is a Mythic Fiction writer of Contemporary Urban & Historical Fantasy. As a full time Mental Health Therapist, she started writing in Academia but decided writing about things on the "other side of the veil" was a lot more interesting. Living in the Paranormal capital of the world makes it fairly easy for her to come up with characters, many of which are based on of real personas in her life that she can't help but carry over into her writing.

Appreciation for Lizzy Ford

Recently as most of you know, Lizzy completely stopped her 'works' as a Author to help me. The was no procrastination, no doubt, just simply love and help. She took Today Only and edited, formatted and seriously walked me step by step to get it published!  For that I will always be profoundly grateful. In between all that, we built a bond of friendship. She allowed me to go from a devoted fan to a friend. How beautiful my life has become with her in it. Lizzy helped me make my dream come true. I searched so hard for a way to help her dream come true. I learned while working with Lizzy that her ultimate dream was to rescue Elephants. Sadly, I can not send Lizzy to Africa anytime soon, because we need books. So I improvised!!
Lizzy when you watch this video, here is what I picture. I picture you out there in the midst of those elephants and by your hand the baby is recused. This as close as I can get you. Thank you Lizzy


So thank you Lizzy, for making a huge unforgettable impact on my Life. I will love you always.
        Love, Derinda
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 
Now it is time for others to show their love and appreciation for you Lizzy!
 
 
I want everyone to know how incredibly generous she is, how she truly does adore each and every single fan. She's one of the most hardworking, honest and sincere people I know. I love her for everything she does.
 
Love Jenn , her devoted PA
 
 
I grew up reading historical romances and watching movies and shows about the paranormal. After reading my daughter's Twilight series I searched for more paranormal fiction. My first ebook was Damien's Assassin. I was hooked! I immediately went to Guerillawordfare and searched for more. Lizzy Ford has a very special place in my heart. In addition to being a great writer, she is a great person. I don't know of any author that gives as much love to her fans as Lizzy. She and Jenn have supported me as I learned about Facebook and started my own book review blog. Always there to laugh or share. She has built a great community of fans. I also know she is an incredible worker putting out books much faster than most, but with a high standard of excellence. I love Lizzy!

Love, Lisa Graziano
 
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*
 
Lizzy Ford has got to be one of the sweetest most talented authors I have had the pleasure to work with. She is an amazing writer and can turn a book into your whole world till your so immersed you are a part of her books. My favorite so far is the Gods, I read them in three days. She always sees the good the good in everyone and I couldn't imagine my life with out her and her wonderful books.

 
Love, Leanne Jacobson

How to explain why I love my Lizzy Izzy, is quite easy and difficult. Lizzy took me under her wing, and now I'm her love child. She's so easy to talk to, never swears (well the words don't come out of her mouth just her writing lol.) She keeps my reading addiction going, and she's just an all around great friend and I love her to bits."



Love, Heather Andrews
 
 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*
 
Well, what can I not say about our dear Lizzy Ford. Lizzy is the sweetest person to talk to and she loves talking to her fans and street team members. I'm part of her street team and she spoils us rotten. I love that I can always message her and ask her a question especially regarding writing since I started my own book with her inspiration. I can't gush enough about what a lovely person Lizzy is inside and out. She is one of my upmost favorite authors. I love that she is there for me if I were to need her to talk to or pray. She is so incredibly special that I don't know if she realizes how much her friends and fans love her for all that she does. Lizzy Ford I love you for being my friend!!! Thank you so much!
Love, Merisha Abbott
 
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*
 
 
Lizzy is such a fanatic writer. You are the only one who can blink a book out typically 2 a month. You make the book slut and cover slut very very happy. As your admin on your street team I am amazed at your actual hands on in all aspects of your writing. You truly care for each and every fan. It is not above you to give someone one of your books if they couldn't afford it. You also are very generous to the Indies community. Whenever a author has a new book released you are first one to offer many many copies even if it is not your own. The giveaways you have are endless. I love that I have had the great opportunity to meet you several times in person and I was able to get a first hand look into the truly wonderful person you are. Thank you so much for everything that you do for myself and each of your fans.
Love, Lisa Markson
 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*
 

Lizzy Ford has become one of my favorite authors for many reasons. The most important is that she personally interacts with all of us fans. No matter what you have to say she either responds or at the very least likes your comment. Then there is how talented she is. Her books grab you and allow your imagination to fall straight into the book. She has never written a book that I have not loved. I just want to say a huge thank to her for all the amazing reads she has given us and for taking the time to speak with us.

Love, Nicole Lundberg-Rogers
 
 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*
 
 
 
Since becoming a part of the awesomeness that is the Indie Community, I have met many amazing Authors. Lizzy Ford is one, that completely blows me away. She sincerely cares about her fans, and fellow Authors. She is always promoting and encouraging those around her. She engages her fans, and despite her incredibly busy schedule, still manages to be involved. She has surrounded herself with an incredible team of people, and together, they make us Lizzy Freaks feel like a family. How she does it all, and still gives us so many amazing reads is beyond me, but I am thrilled. Thank you Lizzy! I am proud to be part of your fan family.
Love, Christina Silcox
 

 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*
 
First I would like to say I love Lizzy Ford and all her work. I stumbled upon her Book Dark Summer and ever since then I cant stop reading her work. I have never come across an author that loves hearing what her fans think of her work. She is such an awesome person not only does she give by writing such wonderful stories but she also gives her time and awesome gifts to show her readers that she loves and appreciates us as well. If that doesn't make her a special author i don't know what does she is truly an amazing person.

Love, Suearz Lisa Wilson
 
 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*
 
 
I would like to take a few moments to honor and thank one of my all time favorite authors, "Lizzy Ford"!
In the beginning of 2012 I ran across a few of Lizzy’s books. I began to read them and found myself genuinely interested and impressed with her work. A short time later, Lizzy released two new books. Financially, I could not immediately afford to purchase them. Lizzy, out of the kindness of her heart, sent me a copy of both to include a few other releases. This was extremely kind of her, unexpected and truly appreciated.
From that moment, I decided that there would not be a book of hers that I did not read nor a book that I would not find a way to purchase.
Lizzy’s books (in my humble opinion) are all very well written. I would have to say that Lizzy is an amazing author. Lizzy’s imagination and ability to create such books absolutely blows my mind. I immediately connect with Lizzy’s books and nearly read each of them in one setting.
I have had the pleasure of interacting with a varying amount of authors online and I can honestly say that Lizzy is one of the sweetest of all. I truly believe that Lizzy appreciates each and every one of her loyal readers. Lizzy is extremely generous and her acts of selflessness should be noted. Lizzy welcomes the opinions of all her readers.
"Lizzy", I am truly grateful for all that you have done for me and the books that you produce. Keep up the great work. You have truly become an inspiration to me, as I have found myself desiring to write too. Thank you so much.
Love, Amy Chris
 
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*
 
 
 
Now its your time to show appreciation! Please feel free to make comments below to tell Lizzy how she has impacted and/or brought joy in your life. Or if you just simply want to say you love Lizzy!
 
There is no greater impact then words of LOVE!

Cover Reveal for Imaginations by: Tara Brown

What price would you pay to be free of conflict and remorse?

An arm? A leg? All of your memories?

What if you had no choice?

What if it was something that was taken for the good of the world?

Fortunately for Gwyn that question has never had to be answered.

She lives in a world free of sorrow, regret, misery, and guilt.
A world based on the promise that everyday is a new one.
A world where only the Memory Makers know what happened yesterday.

But the world is not as simple as they made it sound.

She discovers the Club of the Unknown, where dark deeds are committed and supposed to be forgotten in the morning.

There she discovers the promise of a new day was false.

Finishing behavioral school and blazing her own path in the world, leads her to the realization that not everyone paid the same price for freedom.

She can’t stop herself from seeing the truths hidden in the corners of her mind.
Or the green eyes of the boy leading her down the dark hallway.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~*~*




I have a beagle named Buster, a husband who I force to read everything I write and two girls who want so badly to be a character in my books. And not in that order.

I am mid thirties so be prepared for the chick lit novel this year. I am calling it my Ode to my Midlife Crisis. 
I have been writing since I was old enough to lie. So for some time.

Welcome to my world. Please enjoy the ride.
