.ARC #Giveaway The Paladin Prophecy by Mark Frost

The Paladin Prophecy was a tough read for me. Not because the book lacked suspense, action, or mystery. Not because it had a weird sense of humor, Nope. I started to read it and kind of liked it at first, but after continuing I found that the book was just not for me. I believe this book would be better played on the big screen. Maybe you would like to give it a go? I'm offering (1) ARC copy of The Paladin Prophecy by Mark Frost to one lucky reader.

*Congratulations to Amber H for winning the ARC of Shadowhunters and Downworlders  Giveaway! - HERE

The Paladin Prophecy (The Paladin Prophecy #1)

 

by Mark Frost

Library Binding, 560 pages

Published September 25th 2012 by Random House Books for Young Readers

*Received for review from RH Ambuzzador  program*

 

 

 

Will West is careful to live life under the radar. At his parents' insistence, he's made sure to get mediocre grades and to stay in the middle of the pack on his cross-country team. Then Will slips up, accidentally scoring off the charts on a nationwide exam.

 

Now Will is being courted by an exclusive prep school . . . and is being followed by men driving black sedans. When Will suddenly loses his parents, he must flee to the school. There he begins to explore all that he's capable of--physical and mental feats that should be impossible--and learns that his abilities are connected to a struggle between titanic forces that has lasted for millennia.

 

Co-creator of the groundbreaking television series Twin Peaks, Mark Frost brings his unique vision to this sophisticated adventure, which combines mystery, heart-pounding action, and the supernatural.

.Hot Holiday #GIVEAWAY Hop

I have an amazing giveaway for the upcoming novel Release Me, which is due 1/1/13. Random House is sponsoring a fabulous giveaway with amazing prizes!




Release Me
By J. Kenner
Expected publication: January 1st 2013 by Bantam










For fans of Fifty Shades of Grey and Bared to You comes an erotic, emotionally charged romance between a powerful man who’s never heard “no” and a fiery woman who says “yes” on her own terms.
 
He was the one man I couldn’t avoid. And the one man I couldn’t resist.
 
Damien Stark could have his way with any woman. He was sexy, confident, and commanding: Anything he wanted, he got. And what he wanted was me.

Our attraction was unmistakable, almost beyond control, but as much as I ached to be his, I feared the pressures of his demands. Submitting to Damien meant I had to bare the darkest truth about my past—and risk breaking us apart.

But Damien was haunted, too. And as our passion came to obsess us both, his secrets threatened to destroy him—and us—forever.

Release Me is an erotic romance intended for mature audiences

Random House and Penguin Merge!




News Article from USA Today

Two of the largest book publishers -- Penguin, home to Patricia Cornwell and Nora Roberts, and Random House, which publishes E.L. James and George R.R. Martin -- are planning to merge into the world's largest publisher in a deal announced Monday.
If approved by government regulators, the merger would combine the two publishers' parent companies, the British-owned Pearson and the German-owned Bertelsmann.
The merger also heads off a bid by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., which owns publisher HarperCollins, to buy Pearson for $1.6 billion.

For the media giants, challenged by the rise of e-books and Amazon's aggressive discount pricing, the merger would produce economies of scale as they combine operations, such as marketing and distribution.

The new joint venture would publish about 25% of all books in the U.S. But what the consolidation means for readers and authors isn't as clear.  See more of the article HERE

Harper Collins:
