Non Fiction - Memoir

Date Published: August 25, 2015

Fiona Havlish is an engaging inspirational speaker and success coach whose stories entertain and inspire those going through drastic life transitions.

On September 11th 2001, after dropping her daughter off at childcare, she answered her cell phone oblivious to the fact that she was about to be shaken out of her hiding place and awakened to her own gifts of intuition, clairaudience, and healing.

In Full Voice is a story about one woman's triumphant journey through trauma, loss, grief, illness (and even a flood) that led her to find her own voice so that she can help others uncover and share their own gifts with the world.

Synopsis

 Leah Allen The last thing I needed was another bad boy.

Hard muscles. Handsome. Hot tattoos. He had a dangerous, I don't give a f*** attitude that made him irresistible.

Why do I find that impossible?

Release Day Blitz: Blackmail Boyfriend by Chris Cannon @ccannonauthor @entangledteen @NereydaG1003 #YABOUNDBOOKTOURS #Giveaway

Blackmail Boyfriend

by Chris Cannon

Release Date: 08/11/15

Entangled Teen: Crush

Summary from Goodreads:

Sometimes, blackmail is the only weapon a girl has…

Haley Patterson has had a crush on golden boy Bryce Colton for ages. But then when she hears a rumor-Bryce is telling everyone that  he hooked up with her. With Haley's reputation taking a nosedive, she gives Bryce him a choice: be her boyfriend for a month for a month or face the angry, cage-fighting boyfriend of the girl he actually did hook up withto show other guys that she's dateable-despite her overprotective and very intimidating brothers.-or deal with the angry, cage-fighting boyfriend of the girl he actually did hook up with.

Bryce didn't know the other Haley even had a boyfriend. He was just trying to get his ex off his back. And now doesn't know what's more unbelievable, not only is-that he's he being blackmailed,  or that he's being blackmailed by an honor student. His little "hook up" was supposed to end his problems with girls, not create new ones. Not only that, but his new "girlfriend" has two overprotective brothers, three-legged dogs, her father mows grass at the country club, and she's…well, difficult. And different.

Besides, everyone knows that perfect boys never fall for imperfect girls…Sometimes, giving in is all a boy can do…Can something so fake turn into something real?

Excerpt:

"We need to talk." Bryce gave an exaggerated sigh.

"Okay." I opened my bag of chips.

"I'm sorry, but there's someone else."

He wanted to break up with me in the cafeteria? Fat chance. I leaned toward him and touched his arm in a girlfriend sort of way. "If you planned to stage a public breakup with me, you can forget it."

Amusement showed in his hazel eyes. "Think you can stop me?"

"Yes. First, I'm going to appeal to your sense of decency. I'm not a hook-up kind of girl. Thanks to you, the entire school thinks I am."

He snagged a chip and popped it in his mouth. "Do you even date?"

Ouch. It's hard to have an active social life when you have two older brothers who chase everyone away, which is why I need you to stick around and stop that cycle."

"Sucks to be you." He stole another chip.

"If you don't go along with Operation Boyfriend Bait, I'll go with plan B."

His brows came together. "Ratting me out to Denny?"

"After he pummels you into the ground, people will definitely believe you slept with his Haley and not me, so doesn't it make more sense to play this my way? We both win."

Jane came back and took her seat. "What did I miss?"

"He's trying to break up with me. I gave him two options."

"You or dismemberment by Denny?" she guessed.

"Exactly." I crossed my arms over my chest. "What will it be?"

"I pretend to be your boyfriend for a week, and you keep your mouth shut."

"Two months," Jane chimed in.

Bryce grabbed another chip. "One week and you can keep the Homecoming tickets."

"Five weeks and you can have the Homecoming tickets back," I countered.

"Two weeks," he said. "And I don't want the Homecoming tickets."

"Four weeks." He reached for another chip and I smacked his hand.

His mouth dropped open, and then he laughed. "That was not good girlfriend behavior."

I pulled the bag of chips closer. "Landing me in detention was not good boyfriend behavior."

He grinned all-knowingly. "You didn't mind at the time."

My face heated. "Whatever. I want four weeks, the Homecoming tickets, and a double date with Jane and Nathan."

"Thank you." Jane bounced in her chair.

"Thought I'd share the wealth." I smiled at Bryce. "And this should go without saying, but I expect you to play my monogamous boyfriend. When this is over, we'll do a mutual breakup with no one to blame."

He sat back and seemed to weigh his options. "Three weeks, keep the tickets, one double date, and a no-fault breakup. Deal?"

But when the good guys seem to be working for the mad man responsible for blowing the world into chaos and her family is suddenly the bad, she is forced to choose between what she is taught to do and what she thinks is right.

Goodreads ~ Amazon ~ Barnes & Noble

EXCERPT:

“I told you I was working.” Lauren tried not to snap. Zachary obviously wanted to forget their earlier fight about whether or not it was too dangerous for her to protect the new prime minister. But Zachary didn’t give up that easily. “I was doing my job.” 

“I thought you only had to stay through the prime minister’s speech.”  

“I did, but I saw a few suspicious characters before I left, so I stopped them from killing everyone.” 

“Oh, you did, huh?” He smiled that charming grin that made her forgive him for anything. 

“Yeah, because I’m smooth like that.” She couldn’t help but smile back. 

“Sure you are.” He laughed and crossed the room to her. “You’re hurt.” 

“It’s nothing,” she lied. Even her teeth hurt. 

“Here.” He gently took her face in his hand. He blew a thick lock of her chestnut hair back. He ran his finger over the bruise and whispered, “Curatio.” 

White-hot magic radiated from his thumb into the center of the pain and slowly flowed over her face, leaving cool relief in its wake. Her hand joined his as she felt her healed face. Her skin was smooth and no longer sore. 

“Thanks.” She kissed him softly. His lips felt warm, soft, and familiar. His hands immediately pulled her to him. She stopped him by putting her hands on his chest. “I need a shower.” 

“Shall I join you?” He cocked a platinum eyebrow.

Review: Twisted (Deathwind Trilogy #1) by Holly Hook @hollyannehook @XpressoTours @XpressoReads #Giveaway

Twisted by Holly Hook 

(Deathwind Trilogy #1) 

Publication date: December 15th 2013

Genres: Paranormal, Young Adult

SYNOPSIS:

Sixteen-year-old Allie’s going on the vacation of her life: tornado chasing. What can possibly go wrong with that?

But a terrifying, magical experience leaves Allie shocked and confused, and she learns that she now bears an awful curse.

Every time there’s a storm, she turns into a tornado. Literally.

Allie has no choice but to flee her hometown–if she stays, her new powers could harm or even kill everyone she loves.

She must return to the plains and find those who made her this way. But this journey is only the beginning of her adventure.

Twisted is the first book of the Deathwind Trilogy, a new young adult and teen paranormal romance series. The second book, Torn, is also available. Book Three of the Deathwind Trilogy, Unleashed, will be released in Summer of 2015.

Goodreads ~ Amazon

MY REVIEW:

I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.

Allie has had a dream for most of her life and that dream is to chase tornadoes. So at the age of sixteen her uncle takes her on the best vacation of her life during the summer break from school. Allie knows when she gets home that her parents is going to be very upset with her for not telling them the truth about her vacation.

She is having the time of her life chasing tornadoes until something very bad goes wrong. The tornado that they are chasing turns and comes right toward them. After it is all over and she finds out that her and her uncle is fine that they both made it out of the tornado alive with no scratches anywhere on them. Allie is pretty shaking up after seeing the tornado and after everything that she went through she is not as intrigued by tornadoes as she was before. After seeing the tornado Allie’s life is forever changed and her life will never be the same again.

Without her meaning for it to happen her best friend Tommy witnesses the change that seeing the tornado did to her. She didn’t have any control over what was happening to her because she didn’t know or understand it.  She hated what she had become and would give anything to change it. But Tommy sticks right beside her and helps her with the change when it happens in any form possible.

Allie is one tough girl to go through what she did and stay sane. I don’t know if many people could if it happened to them. But there was a lot of people who got to find out before it was over. Tommy was a very good friend to Allie and cared for her very much to stick by her like he did. There are not many young men in this world who would have done what he did or could be the friend he was.

Twisted will take you on a mind blowing ride of your life that will knock you on your rear end and leave you wanting more of the same. I have never in my life read a book quiet like Twisted before. I loved the new concept of the story line. It was out of this world and it will take you from one end to the other and you will be flipping the pages so fast that they will be blown right out of your hands. Twisted is another one of those books that there is no way you can pass it up. I think you need to go out right now and pick up your own copy. Cause trust me you will not regret it at all. You will fall in love with not just the characters but the story itself. It is one amazing books that will stick with you long after you have turned that last page. This is one trilogy that I am looking forward to the next book.
