READING                                              

I’ve been reading a few books for the upcoming vlogs next month. I’ve finished the first two books of the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy, and Asylum Lake. You’ll have to wait until next month to find out how I felt about them.

The vlog will be about books that both Julie Helligrath and I enjoy. This is not designed to be reviews, but sharing what we liked, disliked, learned, and thought about books we are passionate about. We will not talk about any books that we didn’t enjoy, unless it is a book gone viral and it is surrounded by controversy. :) Authors work too hard to get negative feedback.

Have you read a great book lately?

NEW RELEASES                                   

HOT! HOT! HOT! Recently released books and stories. Check them out.

 

It’s said love can change a person. Medusa wasn’t always a monster…

Medusa is ruled by duty, to her Titan father and the Goddess Athena. She’s no room for the tenderness her warrior guard, Ariston, stirs. When Olympus frees her from service, her heart leads her into the arms of the guard she loves… and curses her as the creature with serpent locks.

Ariston goes to war with a full heart… and dreadful foreboding. He learns too late of the danger Medusa faces, alone, and a Persian blade sends him into the Underworld. But death, curses, nor the wrath of the Gods will keep him from returning to her.

Poseidon will use Greece’s war to get what he wants: Medusa. He does not care that she belongs to another. He does not care that she will be damned. He is a God, an Olympian, and she will be his.

 

 

After the war with Earth, bioengineered humans scatter across the Backworlds. Competition is fierce and pickings are scant. Scant enough that Craze’s father decides to hoard his fortune by destroying his son. Cut off from family and friends, with little money, and even less knowledge of the worlds beyond his own, Craze heads into an uncertain future. Boarding the transport to Elstwhere, he vows to make his father regret this day.

 

 

For a slave, hope is a dangerous thing.

Margaret Rousseau dreams of freedom from a life of servitude. When a mysterious woman saunters into the servants’ tavern promising the impossible, Margaret dares to hope she could win the heart of the one man she has secretly coveted since she first wore a corset…

The Prince.

Margaret desperately grasps for the opportunity to change her bleak destiny by placing faith in a woman who is not as forthcoming as she seems. Blinded to the stranger’s dark motives, Margaret surrenders herself to gain her heart’s desires.

But her choice may bring forth a darkness that could destroy all she holds dear.

 

 

 

Russell Leonard is a centuries-old Guardian who’s lost faith in his purpose. So when he’s charged with procuring the first female Guardian in over two centuries, he can only hope it’s the red-headed beauty who’s been haunting his dreams for months. And if it is, he intends to claim her as his. But when he finds his dream woman, Annabelle is mute and bears no Guardian’s Mark.

He soon realizes she’s been tainted by an ancient evil. Russell must somehow release the secrets trapped within this delicate soul to help her tap into the only weapon powerful enough to silence a millennia-old demon—her voice.

 

 

 

 

Saari Mitchell attends a Tueri conference in Las Vegas, Nevada to strengthen her bonds with Dhelis Guidry and Brogan Vincent—and see if they can make their three-sided relationship work. But when Saari and her vampire brother Mag’s lives are threatened, her trip to paradise soon becomes a surreal fight for survival.
Dhelis and Brogan’s psychic abilities are no help in finding Saari. Desperate to save their mate, they call in favors from the psychic and preternatural community, but the information leads only to more questions. Is the threat against Saari personal or part of a larger plan that threatens every human and Tueri’s existence? 

Crimson Sunrise is the second novel in the Tueri Fated Souls Series

 

Have a great weekend!!

    Have a fun weekend. Happy Mother’s day :)

  3. So many wonderful books to read..

    Wow, so many books! I’m looking forward to your vlogs. :)

  6. Ciara Knight says:

    Thanks, Carolyn and Laura. I hope we aren’t too boring. ;)

    Shelley ~ I’ll have to look that book up. I’m working on my ‘Did I Notice Your Book’ posts for June.

    Alex ~ Yay!

    I haven’t read 50 Shades of Grey, nor had I ever planned to, but after this morning’s revelation that the titular character’s name is exactly the same as that of the main character from my grad school thesis in 2007 . . .

  8. The cover for Awaited is gorgeous.

  9. Lisa Kessler says:

    I’m anxious to hear what you think about the SHades of Grey books. I’ve been heard so much about them, but haven’t read any yet…

    I’m reading Shine, the final book in Jeri Smith-Ready’s AMAZING YA trilogy… LOVE!!! :)

    Hope all is well with you Ciara!

    *HUGS*

    Lisa :)

  10. There’s a lot of buzz around Fifty Shades of Grey (all of it good in my opinion). I’m thinking of reading it for the hot sex scenes.

  11. Mary says:

    Been hearing a lot about Shades of Gray. Thanks for mentioning my book, Ciara. Have a great weekend.

  12. Lynn Rush says:

    Thanks for the shout out!!! :) CMP has got a lot of books coming out soon. GREAT stories!!!!!

  13. Carrie-Anne says:

    My favorite of the books is Medusa. I’d probably like to read that, since I love Greek mythology and ancient history.

    Right now I’m reading Radclyffe Hall’s The Well of Loneliness and Mal Peet’s Tamar. I’m enjoying both of them for different reasons, Hall’s book for its old-fashioned, literary writing style (which does seem a bit telly by today’s standards, instead of showing more events as they unfold), and Peet’s book because I love books set during WWII.

  14. I love the sound of Prelude to Darkness. I’ll have to put that on my TBR pile. I’ll wait while the dust settles on my last purchase lol.

  15. Nice list of books!

  16. Tonja says:

    I’ve downloaded Backworlds. Medusa looks really good too.

  17. Brinda says:

    All great books to spotlight!

  18. Thanks for the list of books! :)

  19. Arlee Bird says:

    I’ll be interested to hear what you have to say about the Shades of Gray book. They were talking about the trilogy on a radio show today. The host said he’d read the first book and it was absolutely awful, not so much in content, but in writing style.

    MEDUSA and AWAITED have lovely covers!
    I’ve heard 50 SHADES OF GRAY is badly written and almost hilarious when it comes to author’s mistakes. But, sadly, such books usually sell best these days :(

  21. Great variety, Ciara! They all sound good.
