Author News:

Thea Harrison just unveiled her newest book cover and I love it

An all-new, darkly romantic paranormal saga, in which the fate of existence itself lay in the balance—and the key to victory may rest in the hands of two eternal lovers…

In the hospital ER where she works, Mary is used to chaos. But lately, every aspect of her life seems adrift. She’s feeling disconnected from herself. Voices appear in her head. And the vivid, disturbing dreams she’s had all her life are becoming more intense. Then she meets Michael. He’s handsome, enigmatic, and knows more than he can say. In his company, she slowly remembers the truth about herself…

Thousands of years ago, there were eight of them. The one called the Deceiver came to destroy the world, and the seven came to stop him. Reincarnated over and over, they carry on—and Mary finds herself drawn into the battle once again. And the more she learns, the more she realizes that Michael will go to any lengths to destroy the Deceiver.

Then she remembers who killed her during her last life, 900 years ago…Michael

Hi, Welcome to another STS post.
This week flew by and I was soo busy trying to organize my bookshelves at home, I really didn't get too much reading in, but I did manage to post a few reviews and giveaways. Check them out under this post, or on the left side of the blog.
Anyway, since I cleaned out my shelf I managed to get rid of a ton of books, and made a little room for a few new goodies. All the books I'm getting rid of will be part of an upcoming giveaway I'll be participating in from I Am A Reader, Not A Writer -Clear your shelves giveaway 6/15-6/20(see full list here) most of the books listed are not exclusively paranormal.


Now onto the books I managed to score, this week.

WHOO HOO!! Look what I got!!   Love the Kindle Fire, It's my first e-reader and I am having fun playing with all the fun apps, movies, books, music etc. on it.
Breaking Dawn what more can I say about it... Love it!!
Hope you all had a great week, and found some great books to read!  



So.. I didn't get too many books this week, because I felt a little guilty buying anything after my perfect Valentine's Day Gifts. Hubby bought me the Kindle Fire and of course I had to have Breaking Dawn.



I did manage to head to the Library, ordered some books and borrowed The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. It's the Audio version and I know it's not my normal read of PNR Romance/Urban Fantasy but I really wanted to read this for awhile now. I must say the Audio version is narrated really well. Will post review soon, on all of the above.
