Teaser #1

Then he leans forward and his lips touch mine, so softly, really, but at the massive jolt it sends into my system, the dragonflies explode into a full-fledged frenzy.And then we’re really kissing, and he’s like a drug or fine wine or any of those things that people say make them lightheaded and delirious. My body moves with a mind of its own, close as possible to his, because I want him, need him so much that it’s almost painful. Thunder cracks overhead and the rain falls harder. But I don’t care, because the only thing that matters is this connection between the two of us and the way it makes me feel.

Teaser #2

“What . . . ? Cora. What’s wrong with her?” The words float above me as I sink into the pool below.“She’s got a concussion, Karl,” Cora says. Her voice is no more than a whisper. “And I can’t do much about it while you’re driving like a madman!”My head drops below the water line, ending my ability to hear anything else they might have to say about me.

Chloe Lilywhite struggles with all the normal problems of a typical seventeen-year-old high school student. Only, Chloe isn't a normal teenage girl. She's a Magical, part of a secret race of beings who influence the universe. More importantly, she's a Creator, which means Fate mapped out her destiny long ago, from her college choice, to where she will live, to even her job. While her friends and relatives relish their future roles, Chloe resents the lack of say in her life, especially when she learns she's to be guarded against a vengeful group of beings bent on wiping out her kind. Their number one target? Chloe, of course. 
That's nothing compared to the boy trouble she's gotten herself into. Because a guy she's literally dreamed of and loved her entire life, one she never knew truly existed, shows up in her math class, and with him comes a twin brother she finds herself inexplicably drawn to. 
Chloe's once unyielding path now has a lot more choices than she ever thought possible.

Go Here for a Promo Post and Excerpt of this book

Facing an unstable future, Chela Prizeon leaves Castle Hayne and crosses over to enemy territory in pursuit of Faris--the boy of royal blood who is cursed by a bitter rival. But soon Chela learns that he has been taken deep into the treacherous frozen prisons--a majestic, but deadly place where people enter and are never seen again. To find the boy she loves, Chela must join forces with one of her greatest enemies. And even though she pulls strength from the good in her powers, she finds herself drawn to the dark side's temptation as well.
Narrated from both Chela's and Faris's point of view, this enchanting sequel to When Copper Suns Fall will take them on a voyage into unknown lands, where the dark, twisted, and revengeful wait to make this their most dangerous journey ever.
Please Note: This book contains mature content including profanity, drug/alcohol use, and sexual situations/language.

Prologue

My name is Chela Prizeon.

Two months ago, I celebrated my seventeenth birthday with my twin brother, Micah. The day was cheerful enough, I guess. Neither of us thought we would ever each other again.

My brother spent almost an entire year of his life in a coma, a supernatural one. His soul was trapped inside of a land parallel to ours, a place hidden by an ancient type of magic. The ruler of this world, a girl who appears to be not much older than Micah and me, captured his spirit, but not his body. Through a spell, she ripped him out of our lives. And he fought it. With my sacrifice and through our special bond, we defeated the one known as Rabia.

Life should be great for me, right? But we live in a society where my kind—the humans with angel-blood—are executed on a regular basis. I look over my shoulder each day hoping that my brother and I won’t be discovered. It’s funny because a small of me wants to be found out, so that Father, Micah, and everyone I hold dear will be safe.

But for now, I return to a normal life as I try to keep memories of the boy with the silver eyes out of my head. Who am I kidding? He rules me, possesses my mind, my body, each part of my very existence. To deny him is like throwing my body on a sword, slicing into my heart as he twists the blade into my soul.

The apocalyptic war between the humans and the angels that happened fifty-five years ago was only the beginning. Now, a new evil threatens to destroy the peace Faris’s people worked so hard to create. The time will come when the thing I recently discovered inside myself will be put to a test.

I hope that I am worthy of this power given to me by the ancient ones, the Lost Immortals.

I pray for their forgiveness, if I am not.

Teaser:

The main difference between the two boys is their hair color and texture. Where Seth has the gray streaks framing his face and wavy brown hair, Faris has straight black hair that he usually wears in a ponytail. Now, that I know the two are brothers, the way they resemble one another so much is, well, a little bothersome to me.“I feel you staring at me,” he says with his eyes closed.Wait! The ghost has come alive.Right away, he moves to a position on his side and props his head over on his hand. He gives me a mischievous, dimpled grin. “Does it turn you on when you compare me to my brother?”Crap! Busted, Prizeon.Damn him for being so observant.

Toxic Part Two (Celestra, # 7.5)

by Addison Moore

ADD to Goodreads

Teaser #1 Not one to waste a good vat of boiling vomit I turn my head and do my best impression of a girl possessed, projecting my insides all over Chloe Bishop’s hair and chest.

She jumps out of her chair, on fire with screams, and runs retching from the room.

Teaser #2 He touches his thumb to my cheek and his wonderful vibrations tune through me like the strumming of a harp. “I love you, Skyla. In time you will feel the same.” 

I catch my breath and hold it, not sure how to respond. A part of me knows this is real. A part of me already has a very special place in my heart for Marshall. And although I’m terribly afraid to admit it, the thought of making love to him has been playing out in the recesses of my darkest fantasies for some time now.

“Really?” His brows arch in amusement.

Shit.

Angelfire (Dark Angel 1)

by Hanna Peach

ADD To Goodreads

Chapter 1 

The devil walks into a bar.

Purgatory is a bar reminiscent of old lower Manhattan, long and skinny like an alleyway, exposed brick, faded booths and low hanging lights amidst the soft racket of a dirty jazz. Purgatory is located in that slip of space and time between earth, heaven and hell. Nowhere and everywhere.

From earth you can get to it from number 13 of any street if you know how to look. Mortals have long forgotten the reason that thirteen is unlucky yet street numbers all over the world still read 9, 11, 15.

Inside, Balthazar is leaning against one of the gritty walls, partly hidden by the soft haze of smoke that seems to just hang at eye level, partly hidden by the glamour-magic that he has wrapped himself in. Anyone looking at him would see the pale green skin and scarlet eyes of a lesser demon.

As Samyara steps in through the door from earth, Balthazar’s body remains slouched and uninterested but his eyes become alert. He watches as Samyara weaves his way to the far end of the bar and slips onto a stool next to a lone seraph wearing a crimson cloak, playing with the rim of a glass of untouched golden liquid. Balthazar’s skin prickles. Usually Samyara won’t go near the Seraphim.

To anyone else watching it may not have appeared unusual, an angel and a demon sitting side by side, at least not in Purgatory. But Balthazar had come here with suspicions.

Teaser:

Alyx sits very still as he inserts the needle into her arm and the tube fills up with her blood. When he pulls the needle away the tiny hole closes up immediately. He turns to his bench and unscrews the needle from the tube.

Alyx begins to stand.

“I ain’t done with you yet.”

She sits back down.

“What are you going to do with it?” she asks.

Mayrekk doesn’t reply. Alyx can hear him clinking around. He keeps the tube in one hand. With his other he picks up an empty glass vial from another basket. A bloodink vial. It looks delicate like an eggshell against his bearish palm.

Alyx feels the room heat and ripples of power run across her skin causing her hairs to rise on end. Powerful magic. Mayrekk is using his magic. He is distilling her blood right here.

Summary of Angelfire:

An army of angels walk among us. They have kept us safe and ignorant, so far.

Earthbound for centuries and ruled by the Elders, they have established hidden cities, a society and The Code: obey your Elders, kill all demons, eliminate Rogue-angels, protect the mortals, remain hidden. Their warriors are the ungifted earthborn angels armed with blades and the ‘borrowed magics’ of distilled angel-blood tattoos.

Alyxandria is a young warrior with a fondness for customized knives and illegal night-races. If only she could overcome the taint of her parents who abandoned her to become Rogues.

When Alyx saves Israel, a gifted mortal with a past, she is forbidden to see him again. But she can’t help herself, drawn to him through their Guardian-bond, an ancient and long-forgotten bond; if he dies, she dies.

An encounter with a handsome Rogue leaves Alyx questioning all she has been taught to believe. Alyx begins to dig into the Elders’ secrets. Two thousand years of secrets that begin with the death of the Archangel Raphael. She is not prepared when she uncovers an Elder’s dark plan.

Somewhere on earth is a key to unlock hell. Somewhere on earth are pieces of an amulet that controls Lucifer and his army. Somehow Israel is the link and now both sides are after him. Who can Alyx trust when Good and Evil is no longer clear?

The war for earth begins.

Deity 

by Jennifer L. Armentrout

ADD to Goodreads

Blurb: 

"History is on repeat, and things didn't go so well the last time. " Alexandria isn't sure she's going to make it to her eighteenth birthday--to her Awakening. A long-forgotten, fanatical order is out to kill her, and if the Council ever discovers what she did in the Catskills, she's a goner... and so is Aiden. 
If that's not freaky enough, whenever Alex and Seth spend time "training"--which really is just Seth's code word for some up-close and personal one-on-one time--she ends up with another mark of the Apollyon, which brings her one step closer to Awakening ahead of schedule. Awesome. 
But as her birthday draws near, her entire world shatters with a startling revelation and she's caught between love and Fate. One will do anything to protect her. One has been lying to her since the beginning. Once the gods have revealed themselves, unleashing their wrath, lives will be irrevocably changed... and destroyed. 
Those left standing will discover if love is truly greater than Fate...

Teaser #1I tried to wiggle free, but he moved his leg, clamping one of mine between his. My fingers curled into his thermal. “Aiden”“Alex.”Frustrated, I pushed on his chest. Aiden’s laugh rumbled through me, and even though I wanted to smack him, I started to smile. “Why? Why did you kiss me? I mean, you did just kiss me, right?”“Yes. No. Sort of.” Aiden sighed. “I wanted to.”

Teaser #2Aiden screamed for help as he dropped beside me, knocking my trembling hands out of the way and pressing his own down on the wound. Aiden’s stricken face loomed over mine, his eyes wide with horror. “Alex! Alex, talk to me. Talk to me, dammit!”

Blurb: 

The countdown clock reads ten days until the end of the world. The citizens are organized. Everyone's been notified and assigned a duty. The problem is . . . no one knows for sure how it will end.
Energy-hungry Mages are the most likely culprit. They travel toward a single location from every corner of the continent. Fueled by the two suns, each Mage holds the power of an element: air, earth, fire, metal, water, or ether. They harness their powers to draw energy from the most readily available resource: humans.
Ashara has been assigned to the Ethereal task group, made up of human ether manipulators and directed by Loken, a young man with whom she has a complicated past. Loken and Ashara bond over a common goal: to stop the Mages from occupying their home and gaining more energy than they can contain. But soon, they begin to suspect that the future of the world may depend on Ashara's death.

CHAPTER 1

COUNTDOWN: 10 DAYS

Has it started?

This was my first thought every morning for the past nine months—ever since they’d told the public about the Vision, and about their plan. My pulse pounded in my ears. Red numerals blinked from the handheld communicator on my bedside table.

10:04:21

Ten days, four hours, twenty-one minutes until the end of all things we knew—or so the Vision said. The Council had warned us they’d cut it close. They would make every second count. And after all the seconds had been used up, they would rewind time and give it another shot.

I hoped the rewinds had started. They’d probably waited too long. It would be too late to change things.

A red alert light blinked on the communicator. My heart stopped beating and dropped into my stomach. I accepted the incoming message and watched text scroll up the screen:

“Ashara Vinn: We are now in the fifth timeline, after having performed four time rewinds. Based on your performance in the last timeline, you have been assigned to the Ethereal task force. Please report to the Council building immediately.”

The fifth timeline?

They’d said I wouldn’t remember what happened—only the elders would remember everything—but I hadn’t expected this. I’d gone to bed yesterday in the original timeline, and now it was the fifth. That meant I’d experienced these last ten days four times already. And apparently, the Council had failed to avoid the end of the world each time, or else the rewinds would have ended.

Teaser
“You think it’s safe to go?” Krin whispered.Before I could answer, a boy I didn’t know flopped down beside me. I started to squeal, but he slapped his palm over my mouth.Krin’s hand shot out and grabbed his wrist. A soft blue light emanated from her grip.“Ow!” The boy yanked his arm back and scrambled away across the ground, out of Krin’s reach. “I’m trying to help you,” he hissed. He rubbed the reddened skin on his wrist where Krin had shocked him.

Teaser #1 (She is a half fae, half werewolf, he is all werewolf)

"When you touch me, there’s this—I don’t know how to explain it. It sounds kind of dumb when I think about it.""Surge of power that shoots through you, like electricity?" he asked. I nodded. He rested his head against mine. "Your magic is unique. Since this is a first for me as well, I am not sure I can explain it, though I believe it is a simple case of one soul finding its opposite half. ""One soul completing the other? You really believe that?"

Teaser #2

The car bumped them and Devlin sped up. It did little good as the car kept pace and sped right up alongside them. When the passenger window came down, he caught a glimpse of a gun barrel."Get down!" He yelled at Kiara as he pressed the gas pedal to the floor. The glass from the back window shattered and the woman he was sworn to protect sat up in her seat."What the hell?""I said get down!""Forget it. I don’t sit on the sidelines." She grabbed her gun from under the seat where she’d stashed it and checked the clip. Then she picked up his firearm.The car beside them had regained its position and continued to match them in speed.

Chapter One

That’s it. 

I’m putting a for-sale sign on my parents. Ok wait. Perhaps I overreacted. The situation wasn't as miserable as I made it sound. I guess it could be worse.

Last night my parents told me that we were moving to a place in the Blue Ridge Mountains next year. Great, right? Wrong! I mean, what were they thinking? Did they seriously expect me to just pick up and leave during my senior year? Yeah, I know. Freaking nuts!

The unstable weather here along the New Bern coastline finally got to them. I figured if I send them to a hypnotist or something like that, then he can make them change their minds. All right, that probably sounded extreme. But a boy’s lifeline consisted of his friends, his posse, and the list of phone numbers programmed into his Droid. No, I wasn’t only talking about the ones I collected from my old girlfriends that I kept stashed away.

Teaser:

Her voice was smooth like a forgotten song,  a hypnotic one. I could listen to it all day long. But even a super sexy voice didn’t change the fact that she pretty much read my mind. “Have you decided whether you’ll run or not yet? I have an awful lot of things to take care of.”She turned her head the slightest bit to the side. My underarms prickled. I was glad that Mom forced me to start using the clinical strength deodorant this morning; to say I was nervous wasn’t  even close to how I felt. “Are you an angel?” I asked, my voice squeaking on the last word.

Forged By Greed  Add to Goodreads

CHAPTER 1

Human World, July 29.

The huge black wolf gained on her with every passing moment. Her muscles burned with pain, sweat covered her skin, her breathing heavy. Could she still outrun him?

Dodging between the trees, she tried and failed to put the distance between them. Was she so predictable that he knew which way she’d turn, even before she did?

She took another sharp turn around a thick tree on her left, its cracked bark brushing her side. Stealing a glance over her shoulder, she saw a gleam of white teeth and a set of watchful eyes—round enlarged irises encircled by a sliver of blue. Those eyes did not belong to an animal. These were human eyes—in a wolf’s body.

The light bounced off the wolf’s thick coat in a blue-black sheen.  He was enormous, much bigger than a normal wolf. A low growl escaped him as he almost missed the turn, his claws scraping the ground. She cackled and surged forward, but he was right behind her, too close, too fast, concentrating on her every move. With another growl, the wolf advanced, his lean body elongating into a long stretch as he tackled her. She collapsed with a yelp under his weight, and they rolled in a tight embrace, kicking and nipping at each other, the momentum forcing them down a slope.

Her coat was as black as the wolf’s, only shorter and slicker, and her sharp teeth as lethal. She matched his growling with hers, deep and throaty. Her long leopard tail swished wildly each time the force of their fall put her on top. The air around them shook in a shimmering undulation as if lifting from a scorched asphalt road in summer. Two wild animals shape-shifted into two teenagers, as the slope ended in a small flat clearing between the trees.

Teaser:

“I outran you. Again.”He pulled back and, with a smile, looked down at Jasmira. His eyes twinkled with admiration. “Only because I let you.”She laughed and lightly punched his side. “You’re so full of it, Jatred.”“Ouch, what was that for?” he asked in mock exasperation.“To bring you back to reality.” She giggled and tried to get up, but he pinned her arms to the ground and leaned closer.“You hit the Winter Prince, woman. Now you have to pay.”Her lips parted when he kissed her again, long and slow. “I like the price,” she whispered, her voice echoing in his mind.“This is just a down payment,” Jatred murmured. 

Forged by Greed (Forged #1)

by Angela Orlowski-Peart 

Young Adult paranormal romance/urban fantasy novel.
Two Seattle 16-year-olds, Jatred and Jasmira, are not your typical star-crossed lovers. They are not even your typical Shape Shifters. Sure, they try to live an ordinary life. At least, as ordinary as the Prince and the Princess of the rivaling ancient Races--the Winter wolves and the Summer leopards--can live. But eventually they learn that not much about their existence can be normal. Especially when the Races' two commanding Goddesses are involved. 
One of the Goddesses is on a quest to tilt the scale of power to her side. The other will never let it happen, even if it means kicking Jatred and Jasmira's love to the curb. Nothing is off limits, including removing Jatred's memories of Jasmira. 
To complicate things even more, there are the Universe's powers to consider. They are trapped in an ancient Amulet in order to protect the stability of the world. But the Universe has a mind of its own, and when the powers are unleashed, the forces of nature are disturbed; earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions shake the Earth. All Shifters of both Races are summoned by their respective Goddesses to fight in the name of, or against, the normalcy of the world.
The forces of nature are disrupted. Earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions rake the world. The Goddesses go to war and summon all their Shifters to join in the conflict. Jatred and Jasmira must fight not only for their love but to protect the future of both Races and humankind.
