.Book Tour Launch #Giveaway: Evie's Knight by @KimberlyKrey #Giveaway Cover Reveal






On tour with Prism Book Tours
Up For Grabs? $50 Amazon Gift card, book swag, and much more!


Launching the Tour with Kimberly Krey - 

So I have to say that I absolutely love my original cover. I do. It’s my dream cover for Evie’s Knight. But there came a time when I had to take a second look at it and make a few changes.

Why?

The colorless, thumbnail-sized image didn’t stand out as much as I’d hoped when compared to the others on Amazon. And there’s another reason too. We were missing something. Someone, actually.

We were missing... *drum roll, please* … OUR MAN!!!

I really felt like Calvin needed to be on the front of the novel, more than our Raven-haired Ghost. Calvin Knight, our strong, masculine, and ever so hunky hero deserves to be front and center. And personally, I’m thrilled with the change.

So there we have it kids – a splash of color, our handsome Knight, and a new cover I think represents Evie’s Knight beautifully!

Original Cover                                   Our Shiny New Cover

(Also new in this edition, is an epilogue which wasn’t included in the original.)

About Evie’s Knight:

When Evie falls in love with Calvin Knight, their young, virtuous romance conjures a truly wicked spell.

Evie always thought her eighteenth year would be magical, but so far it's not what she hoped for. Her best friend has gone wild, her love life is void, and she misses her mom more than ever. But life for Evie is about to change. Calvin Knight, the object of her fascination, is about to fall madly in love with her. Just one problem: Their love conjures a murderous woman from beyond the grave who wants Evie dead. The same demon who has haunted the Knight men for over four generations. Soon Calvin is forced to make a choice: Set Evie free and hope to evade the wrath of The Raven- haired Ghost, or use his newly gifted strengths to fight against her. If he chooses to fight and wins, Calvin will free the Knight men of this demonic witch. If he loses, Evie will become her next victim.

Review: Exiled by M.R. Merrick

 
Exiled (The Protector, #1)Exiled (The Protector #1)
 






Chase Williams is a demon hunter in the Circle, or at least he was supposed to be. On his fifteenth birthday, Chase stepped up to the altar to claim his elemental power, but it never came. Elemental magic is passed down to a hunter through the bloodline, but on Chase's birthday, the bloodline stopped.

Exiled without the Circle's protection, Chase has spent two years trying to survive a world riddled with half-demons and magic. When he has a run in with a frightened and seemingly innocent demon, he learns the Circle's agenda has changed: the Circle plans to unlock a portal and unleash pure-blood demons into the world. Vowing to stop them, and knowing he can't do it alone, Chase forms a reluctant alliance with Rayna — a sexy witch with an attitude and a secret.

In their attempt to stop them, Chase and Rayna find themselves in the middle of the Circle's plan, leaving one of them to decide what their friendship is worth, and the other's life depending on it

Action-packed, great flow, and a male POV that pushes this book to the Urban Fantasy limits. Exiled won't disappoint, as a young boy journey's to become a man and learns that true friendship may just come in the form of an unlikely enemy.





Urban Fantasy is a genre I really enjoy reading, so when I heard of Exiled, and found out it not only was a UF, but a UF/YA written from a male pov. I was more than ready to read it.

Chase the male pov. is a Demon Hunter exiled by his dad, from the "Circle" because of his failure to show elemental powers. Chase and his mother must live outside of the Circle's protection, and fend for themselves.
 
Chase is a pretty good demon hunter, even with his lack of elemental power he still is able to take down the worst of the worst in the demon world, until one day he meets his match and seems doomed, but to the rescue comes an unlikely heroine and Chase learns that labels are just that-labels, and maybe learning to trust someone who seems to be his worst enemy turns out to be the best learning experience for him.

A journey unfolds and now Chase must team up with this unlikely heroine, whom just may prove their worth, and turn out to be a lot more than he bargained for. The ending is action at it's finest and filled with heartfelt emotion, and I felt was the best part of the book, as Chase faces the ultimate "demon", and proves he's not so weak, after all!

The author did a great job with this book. Not only did he manage to hold my attention, but he managed to draw elaborate scenes, and  creatures in my mind.

This book is, not only for adults, but it's especially a great book for YA males, since many of today's YA reads seemed geared to the female persuasion. Vampires, Demons, action induced scenes makes this an adventurous start to this series, and I look forward to the next book in Chase's journey of good verses evil.
