Adele,

I'd love to participate in your Read&Review program.

I'm Eric Muss-Barnes and this is for The Vampire Noctuaries duology.

The data you requested (and more) is listed below.

Copies: 20 (of each book)
Special Aspects: Some adult themes and language. If the books were a movie, I'd rate the film "R"
Format: Available in EPUB and MOBI
Genre: Dark Fantasy/New Adult/Paranormal
Synopsis:

What are "The Vampire Noctuaries"?

Imagine "Natural Born Killers" meets "The Catcher in the Rye", starring Fairuza Balk from "The Craft".

"The Vampire Noctuaries" is a duology of vampire novels that ignores all the cliches of modern day vampire books. There are no warring vampire clans. There are no "Chosen Ones" destined to change the world. There are no love triangles. No werewolves. No quests to "cure" vampirism. No "elder" vampires that are the oldest and most powerful vampires in the world. No vampire hunters. No daywalkers. No vampires going to school or getting pregnant.

In fact, "The Vampire Noctuaries" was begun in 1991. That's before "True Blood" and before "The Vampire Diaries". This series started before "Twilight" and before "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". None of the cliches and trends exist in "The Vampire Noctuaries" because "The Vampire Noctuaries" were created decades before any trends were invented.

"The Vampire Noctuaries" tells a dark and painful myth of love and loss and bereavement. The epic 900-page, 294,000-word story is set in a dark, faeriepunk version of the modern-day underground nightclub scene. With a bit of surreal embellishment to enrich the saga, this novel was inspired by the parties, the places, the people and the atmosphere encompassing the author's exposure to several years of the gothic/industrial counterculture.

The tale is focused upon dreary chasms of the human condition and tells the journey of a young male vampire and his relationship with a teenage mortal girl, Helle. Thinking he is only a spirit that communicates with her in dreams and Ouija rituals, Helle slowly comes to discover that he is very real and will change everything in her life forever. Later, the two will discover they themselves have merely been pawns in a game much larger and more sinister than they could have imagined.

(This synopsis differs from the original as I am currently debating on switching them.)

Alex is an alien who spent most of his life visiting and studying planets and their civilizations. From the moment of his birth until he became of age, he prepared for his calling. Now some 407-earth years later, on a routine exploration mission that shouldn't have taken more than a few months, an incident propels his spaceship a zillion miles away from his original destination. He soon finds himself stranded on the third planet from a star called Sol.

With only a month or so to repair his ship before he starves to death, he is still confident. He's been to Earth before and knows her people. At least that was before he met Mellie. She is different from the humans he studied, with speed and strength unknown to Earthlings but strangely similar to his own species. Fascinated by her, he decides to use his unfortunate accident to learn more about her and those who call themselves vampires.

For her, he will break rules, his people's rules, until there is no turning back. To protect her, and the ones he loves, he may have to break the sacred Oath: Do Not Kill!

Thank you!

I'm picking people at random. but I'm trying to get people chronologically.....ahhh so many authors to choose from..I'm a bit spoilt for choice!

Hi everyone!

My partner and I are launching a brand spanking new penname for our longer and more story based works and want to give people some advanced review copies of our newest book!



I just need your email and preferred format :)

Blurb:

Out of a young woman’s ambition comes a love triangle that could destroy more than her heart.

Firia has always wanted to be a witch, but even though she’s a natural in magic, there’s a problem: She’s human.

Considered by the elven elite to be inferior, Firia needs an edge to be accepted into the Magic Academy. Out of sheer desperation, she summons the demon Varuj, a terrifyingly gorgeous spirit who helps her win the entrance competition. But at what price?

As the commanding demon does everything he can to penetrate every aspect of her innocent life, Firia still finds herself drawn to her study partner, Mae’lin. Not only is the sweet elf completely different from the powerful Varuj, but their relationship is forbidden.

How is she supposed to choose between the demon she owes her life to and the innocent elf who makes her a better person?

This thrilling new adult romance is from fantasy author, Jillian Keep.

Hi Adele, Thanks for starting this up, I'd love to participate.

Name: Scott Eder
Book: Knight of Flame
Genre: Contemporary fantasy
Length: 119k words
Format: ePub, Mobi, or PDF
Copies: 10
Blurb:
Fire. The most chaotic of the primal elements. When wielded properly by the Knight of Flame, it burns like the sun. Otherwise, it slowly consumes the Knight, burning away his control, driving him towards dark deeds.

Stationed in Tampa, FL, Develor Quinteele, sixth Knight of Flame, waits impatiently for the predicted emergence of the last Gray Lord, his Order's ancient enemy. Hampered by a centuries-old tragedy, Dev knows of only one way to control his elemental power—rage. It broils just below his surface, waiting for the slightest provocation to set it alight.

After a brutal attack by the Gray Lord's minions for which Dev is blamed, he's stripped of his freedom until he learns to control his violent impulses. With the help of his fellow Knights, can he balance his rage and unlock his true elemental potential to prevent Tampa's devastation?

"In Knight of Flame Scott re-imagines traditional fantasy and forges something new from old metal—a fast-paced thriller that delivers a healthy dose of wonder. As enjoyable as it is engrossing." ~ David Farland, International Best-Selling Author

Scott

Hi, Adele!

I have a novel entitled HOOKED: A TRUE FAERIE TALE that I'd be happy to provide as an R4R title. I can provide it as mobi, epub, or pdf, and I don't really have a limit on number of titles I'm willing to give. Call it a bijillion. Or fifty. Whichever comes first.

Info about the book is below this email, along with some critical reviews.

As for me (quick bit): #1 bestselling author, produced screenwriter, one of Amazon's Most Popular Horror Authors for well over a year solid, and I just had two of my books announced on the Bram Stoker Award preliminary ballot along with works by Stephen King and Joe Hill (though, to be fair, each of THOSE guys only had ONE book on the prelim ballot ).

Thanks so much!

HOOKED: A TRUE FAERIE TALE
http://www.amazon.com/Hooked-True-Fae...

"Michaelbrent Collings is the consummate storyteller. This is what makes the man a genius. He knows how to write, tell a tale and keep readers engaged, something that is not easily done. But Michael makes it look astoundingly easy and herein lies his genius.... Hooked is a story with depth.... Emotional, sad, horrific, and thought provoking, this one was difficult to put down and now, one of my favourite tales." - Only Five Star Book Reviews

"A potential classic for the ages." - Horrornews.net

"[A]n interesting and compelling read.... Collings has a way with words that pulls you into every moment of the story, absorbing every scene with all of your senses." Clean Romance Reviews

"Collings has found a way to craft an entirely new modern vampire mythology - and one strikingly different from everything I've seen before.... Recommended for adult and teen fans of horror and paranormal romance...." Hellnotes


What if everything you knew about fairy tales was wrong?

What if evil wasn't just a word, but a person? A boy who comes for children in the night, who steals them away and turns them into something else? A boy... named Peter Pan?

For Eve, life has always been about survival. Bullied at high school, living in a home with no father and a mother who barely knows she exists.

But when the new boy comes to school, things start to change. He's popular, he's good-looking, he's smart. He likes her.

And he's a vampire.

Now, Eve has to discover the mystery behind the new guy's existence. A mystery that has roots in her past, and will determine her future. A mystery that will determine whether she lives, dies... or suffers a fate worse than death.

I would love my ebooks to be entered into the read for review program. They are paranormal romances (vampire).

Book 1 A Darker Blood - First in the Verado series:

In her quest to gain information and make new friends, she falls in with several of the town’s bar-staff and night-workers. After witnessing the gruesome death of two strangers, Nicole becomes unwittingly initiated into the secret society that her new friends tried to spare her from. She becomes a Véradó —a mortal, willing to sustain a coven of vampires with her blood.Within the spellbinding walls of an ancient courtyard bar named Zeus Xenia.

Marshall is the vampire dominating a coven of four. He is strong, proud, respected, and feared. His motives are never questioned and his loyalties are fathomless. Nicole becomes his Véradó and the compulsion drawing her to him tests his self control to its lethal limit

Book 2 The vampire Katya - Second in the Verado series:

With her rich history unfolding through a series of dreams and discussions, Alessandro finds himself impulsively drawn to her and longs to be the one to sustain her. But Katya is a hunter, cold and impassive, and Alessandro soon realises that to win her heart it will take more than just blood.

Format| I have it in every format PDF, ePub, kindle, and more.
Genre: Ya
Synopsis:
When Ruby Rahman runs away from the (fictitious) Middle Eastern country of Inevia to the United States to avoid an arranged marriage, instead of achieving the freedom she seeks, she finds herself trapped instead—in a house full of vampires. This “family” of attractive young vampires, known as the Scotts, don’t want to suck her blood. In fact, they have been taking care of Ruby since the accident she was involved in leaving the airport from Las Vegas. But when she tries to leave their house, they inform her that they’re going to have to kill her, before their leaders kill them for the crime of exposing her to the truth of their existence. The worst part of all: Ruby finds out that one who has been charged with the responsibility of killing her is William Scott, the most handsome vampire in the house, who has been sending her mixed messages since she arrived. She isn’t sure any more if running away from her father—and from a country where women are not respected—was such a smart idea. She might as well have stayed home and spent her life in a loveless marriage than be drained of her blood by a cold, heartless vampire like William.
Little does she know that William is madly love with her, and at the moment of truth, rather than killing her, will actually whisk her away to his private island to hide her from his family. Here Ruby has her first true taste of freedom, exploring this lush island paradise and getting to know William better—though she still can’t reconcile her feelings of revulsion for him as a vampire with her attraction to him as a person. Unfortunately, their sojourn on the island is cut short by a hurricane, at which William takes Ruby back to his family’s home and gives his family an ultimatum: they either let Ruby live, or they have to kill him along with her. Even though the Scotts are terrified of their leaders finding out that they have a human living in their midst, they decide to support William.
Meanwhile, Ruby has a secret of her own, which is the fact that she’s actually the princess of a faraway kingdom (though she was adopted at birth, and doesn’t in fact know much about her true origins). This secret doesn’t stay hidden long after the return of William’s ex-girlfriend Carolina, who has discovered Ruby’s true identity, and is determined to win William back by revealing Ruby’s subterfuge. Carolina exposes Ruby to the media, thinking this will force Ruby to return to her homeland, as Ruby is just seventeen, and still legally in her father’s charge. This leaves Ruby with no choice but to accept William’s offer of marriage, trading one arranged marriage for another, so to speak.
This arrangement gets complicated, though, when Ruby finds herself falling head over heels in love with William, who fears he won’t be able to restrain his desire to taste her blood if they become too intimate. William wants Ruby to become a vampire, so they can consummate their marriage and truly be together. But Ruby wants children, which isn’t a possibility if she becomes a vampire.
Caught between two worlds—Middle Eastern and Western, vampire and human—Ruby finds that there are aspects of her new life that both frightening and attractive. She fought hard to free herself from a culture where women’s opinions weren’t valued, and women’s bodies had to be covered at all times, but it seems that as soon as she’s won one battle, she’s facing another—this one, for her life. That’s because word of her marriage has reached the vampire leaders, and soon their council will decide her fate, as well as that of the Scotts.
But among the delegation from the council is Nikolas, a vampire equally as handsome as the one she married, who makes it clear he intends to steal Ruby away from William. Ruby hates the tension between William and Nikolas, and is unnerved by the way Nikolas appears to be stalking her in the days leading up the council’s decision. But she’s relieved and surprised later when Nikolas exercises the mysterious influence he seems to have over the council to save her from being condemned to death—at least for a period of three months, during which Ruby must make some major decisions.
Will Ruby relinquish her dream of motherhood, and become a vampire? And if so, will she choose William, or Nikolas? Or will Ruby hold her ground, and die as a human being?
As this high-stakes young adult novel—full of twists and turns, set in a glittering world of beautiful vampires—churns toward its fast-paced conclusion, readers will learn the answers to these questions and more, along with the secrets of Ruby’s mysterious origins, which may just save her life.

This story sounds awesome!

Hi Adele

and

The Witch, the Wolf and the Vampire

Hi, Adele:

I'd love to giveaway some books for R2R!

Copies: I can do up to 20
Format: PDF, ePub, kindle.
Genre: Steampunk/Suspense
Synopsis:

Steam rising.

California Territory, 1848. Gold has been discovered, emptying the village of San Francisco of its male population. Steam-powered technology is still in its infancy.

At 19, Englishwoman Sensibility Grey has spent her life tinkering in her father’s laboratory and missing the finer points of proper British life. But when her father dies in penury, she’s shipped to San Francisco and to the protection of an uncle she’s never met.

The California Territory may hold more dangers than even the indomitable Miss Grey can manage. Pursued by government agents, a secret society, and the enigmatic Mr. Krieg Night, Sensibility must decipher the clockwork secrets in her father’s final journal, unaware she’ll change the world forever.

Magic, mayhem, and mechanicals. STEAM AND SENSIBILITY is a pre-Steampunk novel of paranormal suspense set in the wild west of the California gold rush.

Hi Adele,

Hi,

I would love to have my book read and reviewed.

Title: Fractured Dream (The Dreamer Saga)
Author: KM Randall
Format: PDF (this is an ARC)
Number of copies: 10
Genre: Fantasy/Epic

Fractured Dream


Here's the synopsis:

Have you ever wondered where fairytales go once they’re created?

It’s been eight years since Story Sparks last had a dream. Now they’re back, tormenting her as nightmares she can’t remember upon waking. The black waters of Lake Sandeen, where her Uncle Peter disappeared decades before, may hold the secret to Story’s hidden memories, or a truth she’d rather not know. On a bright summer afternoon, Story and her two best friends, Elliott and Adam, take a hike to the lake, where they dive into the cool water and never reemerge. What they find is beyond anything they’ve ever imagined could be possible, a world where dangers lurk in the form of Big Bad Wolves, living Nightmares and meddlesome witches and gods.

Now Story must remember who she really is and somehow stop two worlds from ultimate annihilation, all while trying not to be too distracted by the inexplicable pull she feels toward a certain dark-eyed traveler who seems to have secrets of his own. The fates of the worlds are counting on her.

Yes, we will be doing R&R. It has been paused while we re-vamp it. There will be an application process where we can keep easier track than just requesting and trying to write it all down. The new application will be up soon and if you have requested, but have not had your book R&Red, then you will have the chance. :)
