SNOW LIKE ASHES by Sarah Raasch Cover Reveal!

Most of the time, when I reveal a cover it is because I am super attached to the series and there is lots of excitement built. THIS TIME, there is still MUCH excitement for this, but I only heard about it last week!

That's how powerful covers can be! After seeing the stunning cover, I quickly looked up what it's about and I'm already BLOWN AWAY! I hope y'all enjoy this cover as much as I did.

Here's the description from Goodreads:

"A heartbroken girl. A fierce warrior. A hero in the making.

Sixteen years ago the Kingdom of Winter was conquered and its citizens enslaved, leaving them without magic or a monarch. Now, the Winterians’ only hope for freedom is the eight survivors who managed to escape, and who have been waiting for the opportunity to steal back Winter’s magic and rebuild the kingdom ever since.

Orphaned as an infant during Winter’s defeat, Meira has lived her whole life as a refugee, raised by the Winterians’ general, Sir. Training to be a warrior—and desperately in love with her best friend, and future king, Mather — she would do anything to help her kingdom rise to power again.

So when scouts discover the location of the ancient locket that can restore Winter’s magic, Meira decides to go after it herself. Finally, she’s scaling towers, fighting enemy soldiers, and serving her kingdom just as she’s always dreamed she would. But the mission doesn’t go as planned, and Meira soon finds herself thrust into a world of evil magic and dangerous politics – and ultimately comes to realize that her destiny is not, never has been, her own.

Sara Raasch’s debut fantasy is a lightning-fast tale of loyalty, love, and finding one’s destiny.

IT IS MAGNIFICENT!!!

So without further ado, ZEE COVA!

Remember Me by Romily Bernard Cover Reveal!




Many of you have probably heard me tell you about this fantastic book, FIND ME. It truly is a thriller masterpiece! Well today I come to you with something that is very exciting (probably not so for me haha). It's been a long wait, but we finally have the magnificent cover for REMEMBER ME, the sequel.

"Find Me"

These are the words written on Tessa Waye’s diary. The diary that ends up with Wick Tate. But Tessa’s just been found . . . dead.

Wick has the right computer-hacking skills for the job, but little interest in this perverse game of hide-and-seek. Until her sister Lily is the next target.

Then Griff, trailer-park boy next door and fellow hacker, shows up, intent on helping Wick. Is a happy ending possible with the threat of Wick’s deadbeat dad returning, the detective hunting him sniffing around Wick instead, and a killer taunting her at every step?

Foster child. Daughter of a felon. Loner hacker girl. Wick has a bad attitude and sarcasm to spare.

But she’s going to find this killer no matter what.

Because it just got personal.


Doesn't that sound like an epic story? Well, it's is. Take my word for it! Once you start this book, you will not want to put it down (literally, I sat in my floor until I finished it and my back hurt). 

And now to build the anticipation...


Will it be blue like the teasers have shown? 
 

Do you think it might have Griff on the cover???

Am I driving you crazy yet?
 
OKAY OKAY! 

I shall reveal to you the greatly anticipated cover for REMEMBER ME!

*evil laugh*

Drum roll please!
*tap pit pit put tap*

PERFECT LIES by Kiersten White Review!

5/5 stars! 



Annie and Fia are ready to fight back.

The sisters have been manipulated and controlled by the Keane Foundation for years, trapped in a never ending battle for survival. Now they have found allies who can help them truly escape. After faking her own death, Annie has joined a group that is plotting to destroy the Foundation. And Fia is working with James Keane to bring his father down from the inside.

But Annie's visions of the future can't show her who to trust in the present. And though James is Fia's first love, Fia knows he's hiding something. The sisters can rely only on each other - but that may not be enough to save them.

As always, it's a tragedy to get to the end  of a story, no matter how happy or sad the ending may be. MIND GAMES (book 1) was fantastic and thrilling and I can't believe I managed to contain myself (somewhat) before I got my hands on PERFECT LIES! 
The plot continued from the first book, and I really liked that. It wasn't a separate story or adventure, it just continues on! I admire Kiersten White's writing style. It's very real. Like, I can totally see a teen thinking these same thoughts as a read them! 

Fia is a boss heroine, and I never get tired of those. Her brutality and unpredictability are what define her the most. Though she also seemed mad (as in crazy). I think my favorite part of the book is when Fia is trying to keep from thinking of certain things in the midst of the Reader, 'Pixie.' Every scene that involved the two of them was my personal favorite!

Annie's personality stayed true in the sequel. She's still cautious and responsible and very mature in everything she does. She does not let her blindness interfere with her superior persona. I lived that she was constantly worried about Fia and what trouble she's getting into, completely disregarding the extreme danger she's in herself. 

I feel like I would ramble way too much if I attempted to describe everything I liked about every character, so I'll keep it brief and concise. 

Actually, I'm changing my mind. I'll let YOU form your own opinion on the rest of the characters and see how you liked them after concluding this spectacular duology! 

Go check out the author, Kiersten White, on Twitter! (@KierstenWhite) Get news on what's coming up with her and send her tweets about how much you like her amazing novels! (No hate messages please, she works hard to create her stories and it's not right to slam what she's put her blood, sweat, and tears into).

Also check out her other books such as the PARANORMALCY TRILOGY, THE CHAOS OF STARS, and MIND GAMES.

Tell me what you think in the comment section!

DFTBA!
