Guarding Eden Release Blitz

Guarding Eden (A Midway Novel)
by Cameo Renae
Publication Date: July 26, 2017
***The Midway Novels are spin-offs of the Hidden Wings Series, but each book can be read as a standalone.***

Tucked away at an upscale, private boarding school in Brindle Hollow, Washington, seventeen-year-old Eden East comes face to face with a hideous creature on her walk back to her dorm. Shaken to her core, she's left questioning the world around her, and soon finds herself entering a friendship with a hot, new student named Alexander.

Little does she know, Alex is a Guardian Angel, sent from Midway to protect her from those dangerous creatures—known as Darkling—lurking in the forest outside Brindle Hall. It isn’t long before Alex learns this is no ordinary assignment. Eden’s existence holds a secret; something hidden from even herself.

Eden is thrust into a world where Fallen angels and creatures of the Underworld will stop at nothing to catch her. With Alex at her side and a little help from some of his old friends, they form a formidable front against the enemy.

Hopefully, it’s not too little, too late.

JANEY SINCLAIR never knew how or why she gained her ability to teleport. She never wanted it, and for years tried her best to ignore it. But when horrible violence shattered her world, she vowed to use her mysterious talent to protect the citizens of Atlanta, in an effort to prevent anyone else from suffering the kind of agony she had. Wearing a suit of stolen military body armor, Janey became known to the public as the GRAY WIDOW. But now the extraterrestrial source of her “Augmentation” is about to reveal itself, in an event that will profoundly impact Janey’s life and the lives of those closest to her— TIM KAPOOR, who barely survived the assault of twisted, bloodthirsty shapeshifter Simon Grove and still struggles to pull himself together, both physically and mentally. NATHAN PITTMAN, the teenager who got shot trying to imitate Janey’s vigilante tactics, and has since become obsessed with the Gray Widow. SHA’DAE WILKERSON, Janey’s neighbor and newfound best friend, whose instant chemistry with Janey may have roots that neither of them fully understand. And Janey’s going to need all the help she can get, because one of the other Augments has her sights set on the Gray Widow. The terrifying abomination known as APHRODITE LUPO is more powerful and lethal than anyone or anything Janey has ever faced. And Aphrodite is determined to recruit Janey to her twisted cause…or take her off the field for good. Unrelenting ghosts of the past clash with the vicious threats of the future. Janey’s destiny bursts from the shadows into the light in GRAY WIDOW’S WEB, leaving the course of humanity itself forever changed.

Can I just say....This series ROCKS!! I have loved it since I began reading Embrace way back in 2012. I immediately realized I had missed the first book, The Conduit, so I went back & began again. I have now read them all many times over, & so have my daughters (& a few of their friends as well as a few family members.) 

If you are new to Stacey Rourke & her highly addictive world's she creates this is a superb introduction to her work. She always brings a splendid mix of emotion, action, comedy, & snarky wit along with a few heart wrenching moments to ensure we keep coming back for more. The Gryphon Series happens to be the first that lured me in & I just had to have more after that! If you are a paranormal fan that likes sassy characters then this should bring you hours of joy.
I have to say getting to relive it over & over was even better than the first read through. Rourke magically breathes life into these characters, & before we know it we're immersed so deeply into their world that we reach 'the end' before we are truly ready to say goodbye.

If you are into paranormal with plenty of humor added in then you will adore these characters & their stories. Be warned...Grams is a freaking riot & may even cause a blush here & there!!! =D This is one of those I'd love to see on the big screen someday! I hope you enjoy this series as much as we have. 

“Another fantastic, awesome, laugh-out-loud funny addition to the library of ‘falling in love’ with Stacey Rourke books! It’s different, and a great example of some pre-Twilight era YA Paranormal books, where angst was minimal, family was important and adventures were up front and center.” -InD’Tale Magazine 

“Celeste is a well-rounded character and a spunky, sassy protagonist. Though she is a superhero, she commands compassion because she is so human and vulnerable, flawed and weak in spite of super powers. She has the demands of a job, sibling feuds, family issues and the weight of the world on her shoulders.” -IndieReader

Amnesia by Cambria Hebert

Amnesia ~ Book #1 of Amnesia Duet
by Cambria Hebert
Publication Date: June 12, 2017
I washed ashore in a little lake town.
A place where everyone knows everyone, yet…
No one knows me.
I don’t know me.
If a woman doesn’t know her own name, does she really exist?
I don’t know my natural hair color, my birthdate, or where I live.
I am invisible.
To everyone, to everything, even to myself.
Except to him.
I see the recognition deep in his stare, the way it lingers on my face as if I’m a puzzle he’s desperate to put together.
I just want answers, the truth… knowledge.
His lips are sealed. Still, his eyes beguile me.
I can’t trust anyone, not even myself. Someone wants me dead, the same someone who tried to bury me in a watery grave.
They’ll come for me again… I won’t know their face.
I don’t even know mine.
I am amnesia.

Genre: Romance Suspense
Cover Design: Cover Me Darling



What do you do when every insecurity you could ever imagine becomes your reality? Knowing nothing of your past or your present to correctly acknowledge truth or fiction causes a true dilemma.

I pre-ordered by copy of Amnesia & after chapter one I was already hooked. Mystery, suspense, & romance too. The adventure began quickly when a body is seen floating ashore, but the tidal wave of emotional chaos came crashing in a few chapters later.
It was hard not to adore Edward, the savior of this tale, with his cool & protective demeanor. He goes out of his way to help people...even when his temper could have easily gotten the best of him...all the while being the perfect gentleman. Am quickly won my heart as well. I can't imagine waking up in her situation. The fear of not knowing anything about who, why, or how this happened is real ... but when remembering becomes more frightening it may be too late! Her refusal to give up was empowering to witness, & her determination to save her man heartwarming.

The uncertainty of their futures is killing me!! I need the sequel in this duet like yesterday!!!

Broken Wide Open by Susan Griscom

Broken Wide Open
by Susan Griscom
Publication Date: February 9, 2017
When your heart is broken, sometimes all you need is a gentle smile.

Grace Davidson didn’t have the smoothest childhood, but now, years later, she’s ready to start her new life with her amazing new husband—until she discovers his infidelity…with her best friend. Hurt and betrayed, Grace takes off alone for the exotic resort where she should be spending her honeymoon, only to realize it’s as lonely as it sounds. Until her hunky next-door neighbor says hello.

Leo was just a man Grace met while enjoying her un-honeymoon. They became friends, but that’s it. Yet even after she returns home, she can’t get him out of her head. Too bad she’ll never see him again.

Starting over in a new town after finding her dream job, Grace suddenly runs in to Leo in the last place she expects. But is he the man she believes him to be? Or is her heart in danger of being broken wide open?


Get you copy on Amazon & Barnes & Noble!

If you're looking for a typical romance then you have come to the wrong place. Broken Wide Open is definitely not your everyday love story. It is however a fabulous tale of heartbreak, healing, & hotness that manages to allow hope to peek through even the darkest of days. Griscom surprised me with some moves I hadn't seen coming ensuring I would be one of those fans who simply can't get enough. Talk about not taking our time for granted! Jeesh!! I was so torn on what I thought was best for these characters & where I figured they would end up. Then BAM plot twist!! Be prepared for a bit of raw emotion waves rolling in & sweeping you away.

Grace & Leo have officially engraved their names on my favorites list. They are truly heartwarming & addictive!! I enjoyed every second of their journey .... and I would love to see more of them in the near future. *wink wink* Hey a girl can wish, right? Teehee
