Today is the start of the tour for The Eye of Elektron by Leigh G. Wynn. This is a YA sci-fi novel.

About the Book

Two souls from different realms. Bound by sacrifice. Torn by fate.

For eleven years, Sumrects have trapped humans in an alternate realm where an ancient evil brews, awaiting its nemesis…

A nineteen-year-old human stands in the way, but she does not know it yet…

Dawn has more pressing matters at hand.

Competition to be Portrait Artist at Crimson Estate is fierce. One hour to paint. One lives. One dies. And participation is not voluntary.

To save her brother’s life, Dawn ensures her own execution by painting a magical device the Sumrects despise—the Eye of Elektron. Banned from use, the Eye of Elektron has not functioned since the failed human rebellion against Sumrectian tyranny eleven years ago.

Somehow, it comes to life in her hands...

And captures the attention of Ansel Cassadian, the most powerful Sumrect in a thousand years. Strangely, he seems to know everything about her difficult past—a past that holds the key to her future.

As evil threatens to destroy all she holds dear, Dawn must reawaken the Eye of Elektron in time to free the humans and save the Sumrect who risked his destiny to protect her.

Content Warnings: The book contains no cursing or sexual content beyond light kissing. There is mild violence involved in the fighting scenes, but nothing too graphic and inappropriate for young adults.

Book Links

We have a new cover reveal for Loving Gavin by Pixie Perkins. The cover reveal is scheduled for October 25th. This is a YA contemporary.

Content Warning: Loving Gavin will stay within these parameters.

all the romantic moments (possibly with a little more steam)

mild suggestive content (pg to pg-13, depending on the books' themes)

possibly some drinking (if underage drinking occurs, it won't be common)

terms like "i curse" and "she/he curses" (along with screwed/freaking/BS/etc.)

on-page sex (it could be implied or talked about, but that's it)

crude sexual jokes/commentary (humor and flirting are portrayed without being explicit)

"actual" language (no swearing unless it's interrupted early on)

full nudity in a sexual way (if undressing occurs, it won't go past undergarments)How far would you go to keep your crush a secret?

Mckessey Owens is in love with Gavin Miller (aka: her best friend’s older brother). Does anyone know about her feelings for him? HECK. NO. And she doesn’t want them to. So, it’s understandable that she freaks out when her partially written love letter for Gavin falls into the hands of her nemesis, Alex Miller (aka: her best friend’s evil twin).

Alex always manages to ruin EVERYTHING and Mckessey isn’t willing to let him sabotage her crush on Gavin, which is why she comes up with a crazy lie instead: she tells Alex the letter is about him.

Unfortunately, he’s not convinced and wants her to prove it.

Desperate to keep the truth hidden, Mckessey asks to be his girlfriend. And even though it’s very clear that he’s not interested in her—Alex agrees to them becoming a couple, expecting to be right about the whole thing.

But it’s only a matter of time until Mckessey finds out that pretending to be in love with one brother while secretly pining over the other brother is no easy task; especially when she has ZERO dating experience and starts realizing that Alex might not be as horrible as she thought…

COMING 2022!

 

We have a new tour for Truesilver by DJ Edwardson. This is a YA fantasy.

Content Warning: There are a few sword fighting scenes with some blood in one but nothing graphic.

A young man stained with his father's sins. A sword of ancient power. A legend rises.
Kion Bray can't accept his father was a coward. Bullied for his dad's actions in the last war, the seventeen-year-old shepherd is determined to restore his family honor. And the only way to do it is to win the village's annual sword-fighting contest.
Lacking experience, Kion fears he might only bring more embarrassment upon those he loves. And with his biggest tormentor awaiting him in the competition and a dark army mobilizing to the north, his quest for redemption may come to a swift and painful end.
Can a simple shepherd learn to master his blade before his hopes and his people are crushed?
Read the first book in the epic Swordspeaker Saga fantasy series. If you like gargantuan quests, towering bravery, and coming-of-age tales, then you'll love DJ Edwardson's razor-sharp story.

We have a new review tour for I'll Take the Lie by Nancy E. Wood.

Age: 15+

No explicit language, some “off-brand” curses like crap, heck, etc. A couple instances of kissing, mild PDA, mentions of cheating on significant other.

Does the truth really set you free? Paige Hall doubts it, after her boyfriend Justin tells her he’s over it, leaving her with a broken heart and crushed dreams. When Justin disappears, she can’t help but try to find out what happened to him. But when the more she searches, the more problems arise, she can’t help but wonder if it would be better to just accept the lie…

After being separated for three years from her sisters except when she dances with Pathos, the Midnight King, at midnight on a full moon, Faye finally sees a chance to rescue them all. But things are not as easy as they appear. Pathos, the midnight king, is determined to keep her in the Underworld with him.

 

We are excited to be hosting a tour for Missing Okalee by Laura Ojeda Melchor. This is a middle-grade novel releasing on September 7.

Triggers/Content Warning: It is “clean” but does deal with the death of a child, loss, etc.


When compared to her nearly perfect little sister, Phoebe Paz Petersen feels she doesn’t measure up in her parents’ eyes. Okalee is smart and beloved for her sunny disposition, but if Phoebe can get picked for the coveted solo in the school choir, she’ll stop being a middle-school nobody and finally get her chance to shine.

The sisters have one very special, secret tradition: River Day—when they hold hands and make their way across the cold, rushing Grayling River to celebrate the first hint of spring. This year’s River Day crossing, however, goes horribly wrong, and Phoebe’s world is suddenly turned upside down.

Heartbroken and facing life without Okalee, Phoebe is more determined than ever to sing the solo in the school concert as a way of speaking to her sister one last time. But Phoebe’s so traumatized by what happened, she’s lost her beautiful singing voice.

Kat Waters wants the solo for herself and is spreading a terrible rumor about what really happened to Okalee on River Day. If Phoebe tells the truth, she fears her family will never forgive her and she may never get to sing her goodbye to Okalee

Missing Okalee is an empathy-building novel about the unbreakable bond between sisters and finding the courage to do what’s right amid heartbreak and tragedy.

Yesterday was the cover reveal for Oathbound by Victoria McCombs, and it is stunning. Oathbound is set to release in February 2022.


Beware the waters. The dangerous deep brings ruin to all.

Emme has spent her life avoiding anything to do with pirates. But the fates are cruel, and now a hidden sickness leads her to partner with pirates for the one thing that can save her—a cure on an island none are certain exists.

The pirate captain’s secrets are darker than the deep and threaten to kill them all. His obligations are tinged with betrayal, for his oathbind must be fulfilled. To ignore it is to invite peril of unimaginable destruction.

As the adventure unfolds, the sea takes more than she expects and the sea give more than he wants.

We are so excited for the release of Promise Me Aloha on October 5. We will be celebrating with a single day bookstagram tour and we'd love to have you participate.

How can two people come together when everything else is falling apart?

Olive Galloway always knew that Brander Delacroix wasn't going to date until he found the girl he wanted to marry, and she's still marveling over the fact that he decided to date her. But he did, which means it isn't much of a surprise when he drops down on one knee in the sand the year after Olive graduates from college. What does come as a surprise is the sudden realization that she'll no longer be Olive Galloway living at home with Grams and Macie. She'll be Olive Delacroix, building a new life in Hawaii with one of her very best friends.

With that understanding, however, comes a tidal wave of pressure. Between bothersome dealings with soon-to-be in-laws, a mountain of over-the-top wedding preparations, and a trio of explosive family secrets, Olive begins to wonder if she'll be able to make it down the aisle with all of her hair intact. She's thankful for Jazz, her best friend, who is ready and willing to support her through it all, but she can't help wondering why Jazz hasn't found a happily ever after of her own.

As the wedding day draws near and one final devastating secret comes to light, Olive's perfect world comes dangerously close to spinning off its axis. It will take plenty of faith and prayer (and no small amount of shave ice) to set things right before the wedding bells begin to ring and she promises Brander her aloha...forever.

It's the day! Here is the cover reveal for Promise Me Aloha by Taylor Bennett. It is releasing on October 5 and is up for preorder.

Content: This is a 'clean' book with zero swearing. There is some romance but it's limited to innocent kisses. There is mild violence like martial arts / shooting, but it's not graphic and much milder than that found in most young adult fiction.THEY’RE LYING TO YOU.

The secretive Forever Institute towers over London. Some say it’s a cult. Others call it mafia. To seventeen-year-old Fern, Forever is simply home, run by the scientists who created her. A home she’s never been allowed to leave.

Forever gave Fern everything. A body that will never age. Psychic abilities, if she can work out how to access them. A purpose: Fern will be part of a new dawn for humanity, although she’s never been told exactly how.

Then Fern is contacted by a cryptic telepath from outside the Institute, and learns some dark truths that make her question everything she’s been taught. Children are being murdered, and Fern is in danger. But her new friend has secrets of his own…

SOME LIES ARE LETHAL.
