Release Blitz for Hades by Elda Lore




Title: Hades
Series: Modern Descendants
Author: Elda Lore (L.B. Dunbar writing as)
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Release Date: October 24, 2016



Blurb

“Welcome to Hell.”

Persephone Fields is just an average girl: beloved daughter and loyal friend. One night decides her Fate, when the prince of The Underworld becomes her savior and her kidnapper.

Hades has lived centuries in darkness and sin. When he decides to save the blonde goddess, he doesn’t consider the ramifications of his decision to bring her into his realm.

Two worlds divided struggle to find friendship in a history of family discord beyond their control. When attraction blurs the line, questions result in choices of love or loyalty.

A modern twist of the classic myth: Hades and Persephone, this version incorporates the sensual tension of opposites divided by contemporary humanity and mythical underworlds. Also reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet, this is a love story ripe with desire.

+++++++++++++++++

Author’s note: This book contains scenes of sexual intimacy.

Rinny does Teaser Tuesday #9






Welcome to this weeks Teaser Tuesday! 

Hey Hey everybody, Rinny here,
Here's how it works you randomly open your book/scroll to a page (ebook) and pick a line off the page to tease/tempt everyone else with. So i wonder if these random sentences are enough to tempt you into buying this book. 




Loki's Wolves (The Blackwell Pages #1)


                                                     
                                                            





First pick - Page 9 : The white-hot ball shot from his hand and exploded with a boom and blast of wind that sent Matt tripping back-ward.


Second pick - Page 105 : A black shadow leaped on the wolf's back. Matt barely caught a flash of it before the two went down, rolling across the grass.


Third pick - Page 281 : The Mara shrieked, horrible shrill noises, that made Fen cringe, and then they vanished.


Cannot wait to read this book!!!!! It also has beautiful illustrations.

Arc Review: White Hart (White Hart #1) - Sarah Dalton by Kimmy

Hi folks,

I'm so excited to share the following review with you all:

White Hart (White Hart #1)
by Sarah Dalton

Release Date: 1st March 2014


Rating:

**Disclaimer - I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review**


Summary:

Mae never asked to be craft-born. She never wanted that burden.

The realm needs magic again, and the the King of Aegunlund has been waiting for the first craft-born girl to marry his son, Prince Casimir.

In Mae's town of Halts-Walden, the ambitious miller claims his daughter Ellen is craft-born. Mae knows this is a load of hogwash, but she's glad Ellen will have the unfortunate pleasure of becoming queen instead of her. All she has to do is sit back and wait until Casimir and Ellen are married, then she will finally be free of the threat of her fate. But on that day an event so shocking and terrible occurs that Mae finds herself entering the neighbouring cursed forest on a quest she never thought she'd have to follow. 

Join Mae as she rides her white stag through the Waerg Woods with a pampered prince at her heels. She's out for revenge and nothing, no one, will get in her way.

Review:

I had been doing a bit of searching through Goodreads, looking for books to add to my anticipated reads 2014 list.  Upon seeing this cover, it instantly caught my attention.  So simple, yet effective.  A proud mythical creature beckoning me into its world.  Inviting me on an adventure!

From the first page I was instantly hooked.  The storyline was so well written, the progression unrushed.  Mae is such a loveable character, a free spirit and yearning for adventure.  The authors writing style leaves nothing to the imagination.  Everything has just the right amount of detail, you almost feel like your there, your Mae and this is your journey.  

All 3 times I picked this up to read, I found it so hard to put down, on the 3rd time I was finished.  Finished the book with a cliffhanger...why do you do this to me!?! lol.  But this is exactly the kind of series I love, ending a book the way this one ended, just makes you want more!

It pains me knowing that this book is only getting released next month.  I need the next books in the series now, I must know what happens next!

So what are you waiting for, get this book added to your Goodreads shelf, spread the word to your fellow readers and get ready to purchase this book on the 1st March 2014.  This is going to be one amazing series!

Feeling lucky? Head over to Goodreads and enter the competition for your chance to win a signed paperback.  Good luck!

Congratulations to Sarah Dalton, may you have many future successes!

Rinny Rambles #1




Hi Peeps :) Welcome to the first ever Rinny's Ramblings. How are you all today? I have had a semi proactive day which is good as i was having a  rubbish day but that all changed as, I got my book from hive.co.uk (courtesy of Kimmy for my birthday) eeekk so excited. I have wanted this for ages since i first watched The Almighty Johnsons. Have you seen it? I love it, I've always had a mild interest in mythology and history etc. However as soon as i watched this it sparked an interest for Norse Mythology and so many ideas for me.


Cant wait to read it the front cover is beautiful and cover in post its lol Do you take notes when reading? I love too in my phone, on paper and on pc. I cant help it I love writing notes and lists.

So onto the next productive thing I have done today. I am too shy to get in front of the camera esp at moment due to health. But I did make a video sort of a about us ....... We're on YouTube now :) quick go watch like and subscribe. 


Lastly i want to talk about reading slumps. I have been in a mini one for a few weeks and it is not any books fault. I just cant get into the reading groove at the moment. What do you do in a reading slump? help me give me tips? Last night i finally had enough and decided to try going back to my old way of reading having two books on the go. I'm thinking perhaps i have been reading only the same kind of books for a few months that might be why, tho i have been having bad health issues so maybe that is a factor. So at the moment i am reading Falls the shadow by Melissa Sasina which i am enjoying such beautiful writing and its got Norse mythology in which just well is so me at the moment. I just cant read more than a few pages at a time without losing focus. So for my second book i have went in a total different direction from my normal reads and last night read about 60 pages. It is Modogamous by Karen . E . Martin. Its humorous and a light easy read so far. What are you reading? Let us know all your comments and answers below in the comments, we get lonely in there alone.
