As the last two people disappear behind Caden and his two Faction guards in a blue haze, I take a breath and hit the coordinates on the keypad.

Era’s eyes meet mine. Even in a wheelchair she still looks fierce. “Remember your promise.”

I’m not sure whether she means my promise to not get in the way or my promise to defend Neospes with my life. Maybe they’re one and the same. “I remember.”

I hit ENTER.

The wind sucks at my gut, pulling me in toward my belly-button as if every part of my body is dissolving and coalescing into that one point. I keep my eyes open for as long as possible, watching time elongate on all sides before the wormhole breaks me into a million pieces. The nanobes harden around my cells, making them impervious to the gravitational changes in pressure. For a second, I feel invincible.

Unbreakable.

At the midpoint of the transition, all is silent, like being in the center of a storm before things start picking up. I’m snapped back together again, disparate cells rushing together toward the whole. As I exit the jump, everything explodes into motion at once.

Voices are coming at me from every direction—screaming and yelling. My ninjatas are out of their harness and in my hands before I can blink. The hot glint of metal reflects o the bodies surrounding us, the sour scent of rotting flesh filling the air. Reptiles—hundreds of them.

The Fallen Prince

by  Amalie Howard

Published by: Sky Pony Press

Publication date:April 5th 2016

Genres:Young Adult, Science Fiction

Blurb:

Riven has fought for a hard-won peace in her world, and has come to shaky terms with who and what she is—a human with cyborg DNA. Now that the rightful ruler of Neospes has been reinstated, Riven is on the hunt for her father in the Otherworld to bring him to justice for his crimes against her people.

But when she receives an unwelcome visit from two former allies, she knows that trouble is brewing once again in Neospes. The army has been decimated and there are precious few left to fight this mysterious new threat.

To muster a first line of defense, her people need help from the one person Riven loathes most—her father. But what he wants in return is her complete surrender.

And now Riven must choose: save Neospes or save herself.

THE ALMOST GIRL

About the Author  

AMALIE HOWARD grew up on a small Caribbean island where she spent most of her childhood with her nose buried in a book or being a tomboy running around barefoot, shimmying up mango trees and dreaming of adventure. 25 countries, surfing with sharks and several tattoos later, she has traded in bungee jumping in China for writing the adventures she imagines instead. She isn't entirely convinced which takes more guts. 

She is the award-winning author of several young adult novels critically acclaimed by Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, VOYA, and Booklist, including Waterfell, The Almost Girl, and Alpha Goddess, a Spring 2014 Kid's INDIE NEXT title. Her debut novel, Bloodspell, was a #1 Amazon bestseller, and the sequel, Bloodcraft, was a national silver IPPY medalist. 

She is also the co-author of the adult historical romance series, THE LORDS OF ESSEX. As an author of color and a proud supporter of diversity in fiction, her articles on multicultural fiction have appeared in The Portland Book Review and on the popular Diversity in YA blog. She currently resides in Colorado with her husband and three children.

Blog Tour: Anything You Want by Geoff Herbach + Giveaway

Hi Everyone!, Today we have Geoff Herbcah, author of Anything You Want, on our blog to show us his playlist for the book! I really think that the premise of the book is so cute, one because it is in the perspective of a boy--I mean we know  we don't get much of that--but also because it'll talks about the unplanned pregnancy or rather a miracle you just didn't expect to happen right away *wink* So yeah without further ado take it away Geoff! =)

These are songs I used a lot to think about the book. I’m definitely not a writer who can write while music is playing, though. I like music too much to be able to do two things at once when it’s playing.

Al Green’s, Let’s Stay Together: Taco wants this with Maggie so much.

Paul Anka’s You’re Having My Baby: Because, she’s having his baby.

Florence and the Machine’s Dog Days: He thinks maybe it’s the end of hard times. He’ll make his own family!

Neutral Milk Hotel’s Holland 1945: Taco believes in reincarnation.

Flight of the Bumblebee, by Rimsky-Korsakov: This is what his brain sounds like

sometimes. 

Prince’s Kiss: This I show Maggie makes him feel. 

Welcome to the Jungle, by Guns and Roses (for Darius): Because Darius likes to rock.

Joanna Newsome’s Good Intention Paving Company: This is for Maggie, because she will be this smart and this grounded someday (not now, though – she’s just a kid, too).

Ooh Child, by the Five Stairsteps: Finally, this is for everybody. This is what I want all people to know when things are rough.

Taco’s mom always said, “Today is the best day of your life, and tomorrow will be even better.” That was hard to believe the day she died of cancer and when Taco’s dad had to move up north for work, but he sure did believe it when Maggie Corrigan agreed to go with him to junior prom. Taco loves Maggie – even more than the tacos that earned him his nickname. And she loves him right back. 

Except all that love? It gets Maggie pregnant. Everyone else may be freaking out, but Taco can’t wait to have a real family again. He just has to figure out what it means to be a dad and how to pass calculus. And then there’s getting Maggie’s parents to like him. Because it would be so much easier for them to be together if he didn’t have to climb the side of the Corrigans’ house to see her…

About the Author  

I am the author of the YA title, Stupid Fast (June 2011 from Sourcebooks Fire). I also wrote The Miracle Letters of T. Rimberg, a Novel from Three Rivers Press. When I'm not writing books, I'm writing for Radio Happy Hour or developing ridiculous musical bits.

When I'm not writing, I'm teaching writing at Minnesota State, Mankato, which means I write a lot of comments about writing on student writing. 

Writing a lot of writing and reading about writing and writing on reading.

Blog Tour: 10 Things the Bookish World Doesn't Know About Kate Evangelista + Giveaway

Good day internet fam! We've got here today on our blog Kate Evangelista, a Filipina author of the upcoming book No Love Allowed. Dea and I were so lucky that we got to meet her at Sarah J Maas signing last March, though we din't get to talk to her that much it was so nice to see her in the event and to interact with our blogger friends, it was like hitting two birds with one stone, but you know birds as the authors(heh). Anyway, so days before the signing I did joined on the blog tour for her upcoming book hosted by Xpresso Book Tours and asked about 10 things the bookish world doesn't know about her and fortunately we get to be a part of the book tour! So without further ado here are the 10 things you might want to know about Kate Evangelista and also don't forget to join in the giveaway below! Enjoy! =)

10. Six Cats

Yes, I have six cats, but there is a rational explanation for this. Sweetie came to me in January of 2015 and she changed my life forever. I wasn’t expecting to have a pet. In fact, I wasn’t even entertaining the idea of one. But I knew in my heart that something was missing in my life. Then came Sweetie. Two weeks later she got pregnant and on April 30, 2015 gave birth to five beautiful kittens. I told myself that I would only keep one and give away the rest. Ten days later, when they opened their little eyes I knew I was a goner. So I have six cats and they have made my life so much better.

9. In my heart I’m a Gilmore Girl

The Gilmore Girls was a series that changed my life. I immediately fell in love with Stars Hollow and wanted to move there when I grew up. Actually, I still want to move there. I wanted Lorelai to be my mother and I wanted to marry Logan. I have yearly marathons of all seven seasons, even if the seventh season kills me every time because of how awful it is. And, like all the GG fans, I wanted a movie. Just something that would give me closure. So imagine my eternal joy when it was announced that there would be four new episodes? I could die happy. But not before watching these eps, of course.

8. In my head I’m married to Dean Winchester

The moment I started watching Supernatural, I knew I was a fan for life. And Dean? My ideal man. Funny. Will save you from anything and everything, even the end of the world. Sexy. Stubborn. And makes eating anything look so hot. Crazy thing is? I love Dean, but I don’t like the actor who plays him in real life. How weird is that? Although, I will admit that I do cheat on Dean a lot. Specifically with Tom Hiddleston and Daryl Dixon.

7. I love pasta

Pasta is life. So when I gave up pasta for lent—that’s forty days without—I thought I would go crazy. Like I would start having dreams of bathing in tubs full of pasta or that I would sit in a restaurant that specifically serves only pasta and stare at all the people eating. I’m surprised I didn’t sleep walk and start sleep eating pasta. Or maybe I have and I just don’t know it. *gasp*

6. I love marathons

Not the sweaty kind. I guess I should say binge watching. I would horde episodes of my favorite shows and spend my whole weekend glued to the TV. This is especially true for anime. I LOVE anime. I’m an otaku through and through. Japan is the motherland. Sports anime. Romance anime. Dramas. Some horror. Love, love, love it!

5. Fashion

I don’t refer to myself as a fashionista but I do love clothes and looking at trends. Shoes are the first thing I think of buying when I have some extra cash. I don’t have a set personal style yet, but I think I’m slowly getting there. I’m more of a stick-to-classics girl who is not afraid to experiment with color. Boots are my go to shoe. Dark denim looks good on any body type. And every girl needs a good blazer. Cute dresses are also my thing. Oh and headbands. Since I have short hair they are my accessory of choice.

4. Eleven is my life number

I was born on the eleventh day of May. Year ’83. 8 + 3 = 11. My class number was eleven. My jersey number was eleven. The first letter of my name K is the eleventh letter. I have the number eleven tattooed on my left wrist. Basically, I know everything is going to be fine if I see the number eleven randomly that day. It’s kinda cool.

3. I love anything paranormal

I believe in ghosts, which is why I am a fan of Ghost Adventures. If you’re into creepy videos, subscribe to the Top5s channel on YouTube. I’ve watched each and every one of his vids. So good. Anything alien/UFO related I am down for. Documentaries, the Ancient Aliens show. Halloween is my favorite holiday. I’m also into scary movies but will cover my eyes at the scary bits.

2. Anything cute

I love anything cute, sparkly, and kitschy. Bring me to a store that sells stationary, notebooks, pens, accessories, basically anything that will make me go “Aww” and I will walk out with a bag of something. This may be my ultimate guilty pleasure because even if I don’t need another notebook I will buy one just because it’s pretty. I don’t need another headband because I only have one head but I will end up at the counter with three anyway. Bookmarks. I just discovered washi tape, so that’s another addiction I can’t stop. I think I need an intervention.

1. Audible

I read and write all day, so to give my eyes a rest I’ve switched to audio books when I “read” for pleasure. The great thing is Audible has this 30 Day trial where you get two free books. The first book I ever listened to was The Coldest Girl in Coldtown and I never looked back. The narrators at Audible are topnotch. It’s like those old radio shows. There is this one narrator who can do multiple voices. When you’re listening to the books he’s reading every character has their own unique voice. So good. Romance novels come to life in audiobook form. Trust me.

Alright, that’s 10 things the bookish community now knows about me. I do hope this little list gave you some insight into who I am. Thank you so much for hosting me here today and please grab a copy of No Love Allowed. It’s the perfect read when you’re looking for something light and swoon worthy.

It’s all fun and parties until someone falls in love in this modern fairy tale from author Kate Evangelista.

Caleb desperately needs a fake girlfriend.

And sadly, the last unattached girl in his social circle has just made the grievous mistake of falling in love with him. 

Fortunately, Didi, recently fired waitress and aspiring painter, is open to new experiences. As the summer ticks by in a whirl of lavish parties, there’s only one rule: They must not fall in love!
