Sunday Post #173

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~ It's a chance to share news ~ A post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things we have received and share new about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't know about you, but my days are all screwed up. Having a long weekend last weekend was great but it messes with the order in my brain. I didn't make blog visiting last week with being all confused on days, vet visit for dog, and heavens only remembers what else we had to do. I went to a bridal shower for a dear friends daughter that we've lived through growing up and a graduation party. Yep, it's that season. I'm thinking the rest of the month is going to clear... *holds breath* I could be wrong too. lol.

I've been working on Camp Nanowrimo and I'm pleased with myself. I might be an hour or two behind in my hours, but I'm still happy. I've added in a few scenes and still have more to add. The story is really growing and morphing with these re-writes. I'm trying to tie more together in each scene, something my brain forgets with the mad dash to write the first draft but the idea and scenes are there to work with (which is usually my goal in first draft dash).

I rearranged my den! I was so happy to put together my new shelves I got on clearance for $9.00 each. Yeah! They are tall and have five shelves. Totally awesome price I couldn't pass up a few months ago, so they are finally up and things moved around. This took 7 hours to put the shelves together, move, clean, and organize. And it's still not done as there is one corner with items that I need to file and find a place to put. But close enough!

As for books....I'm listening away at work and reading when I can. I really need to get my schedule locked down so I can get more accomplished in a day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Fit Booker:

Goal:  Workout in any form of exercise (or on Wii Fit) 2x's a week. (to feel better and hope to drop a few pants sizes)

How did I do last week... Um... with the holiday I'm all goofed up. lol. I did get on the treadmill Sunday. I push mowed the grass on Wednesday. And I think that was it this week.

Goodreads Synopsis:
Zoe Jabril needs to devise a kick-ass plan to save the world ASAP. Otherwise, Armageddon starts the day she turns eighteen—and if that happens, everything is going to hell. Literally.

She could be any other 17-year-old attending parties and checking out cute guys—except she discovers her best friend is a Guardian Angel and the boy she crushes on is a Nephilim, both sent to protect her from the demons who want her dead.

Now Zoe has to deal with growing feelings toward the Nephilim, who spreads a strange electrical current through her body every time he touches her. And she’s under constant attack from Demons, trying to stop her from fulfilling the Prophecy: a girl will be born who will unite Angels, Nephilim, Fairies and Werewolves to battle evil. Then she has to control newly found talents if she’s to prevent the devil from escaping Hell.

Murder, cupcakes, and witches... it’s just your average day in Sweetland Cove. 

Page Count: around 330 pages 

Things are always going wrong for Ava Fortune. 
Ever since she discovered she was a witch, it seems like people are trying to kill her. 

And… New Year’s is no exception. 

When a woman is found murdered in her aunts’ bakery, a terrible curse is uncovered, with Ava at the center of it. 
This time, at least, she’s not a suspect. 
Everyone in town knows who the killer is. Even Detective Colt Hudson thinks Ava’s innocent. 

Polly Peacock broke out of prison for one reason only: 
to kill Ava Fortune. Not just kill—sacrifice. 

That’s the only way that Polly can get her witchy powers back. 
Except it’s not just Ava she has to kill. 
There are five names on her list. 

Ava and Colt used to be enemies; she never thought they’d be friends. 
With things between her and her boyfriend, Damon, as rocky as ever, Ava starts to think that Colt is interested in more than just paranormal security. 

But does she feel the same? 

Can Ava stop Polly from committing her terrible crimes before it’s too late or will the curse shared by Ava and her ancestors come back to stop her? 

There’s never a dull day in Sweetland Cove.

He must teach her to control her gifts, keep her safe, and hope that he can find a place in her life as something more than just her bodyguard.

Gabriel's Hope by Lizzy Ford
PICK UP AT AMAZON
Goodreads Synopsis:
The continuation of the Rhyn Trilogy saga. 

Death Finds Love. 

Recently appointed as Death, Gabriel’s life can’t get much worse. His underworld is in shambles, and he’s racing demons to collect souls in the human world. To add to his mess, he discovers that his predecessor raised an unwelcome Immortal from the dead, one who threatens the Immortal Council that his friend, the Ancient Rhyn, is trying to hold together. When the underworld shuts Gabriel out, he’s convinced he’s hit rock bottom. Until he meets her, and he realizes things can get worse. Much worse. 

Now in human form, Deidre – Gabriel’s predecessor and long-time tormenter – is dying from a brain tumor. Rather than mourn, she decides to enjoy the rest of her short life by checking off every box on her bucket list. Little does she suspect that a weekend getaway to the beach will throw her into the hands of Death himself and overturn everything she knows about her world. Deidre has no idea who she was in her past life, but she must learn fast, or she’ll never understand why the Immortals, demons and Death alike are after her. The secret is buried in her head, and the only way to uncover it will kill her. 

To survive, she must reach the wounded man behind the mask of Death and show him that the world is filled with more than tragedy and pain.

Deidre's Death by Lizzy Ford
PICK UP AT AMAZON
Goodreads Synopsis:
Two women caught in a struggle between Death and the Dark One...

Gabriel – Death – is winning the ground war against demons in the mortal realm. But a rebellion is brewing among his army of grim reapers in the underworld he still can’t access. Worse, just when he thinks he knows where his heart belongs, he discovers there are two Deidres: the human he started to fall in love with and the deity whose love-hate relationship with him spanned hundreds of thousands of years. What he doesn’t know: the two Deidres made a deal that will send one of their souls to the underworld by the end of the week.

Deity-Deidre expects nothing but smooth sailing in her future. Until the Dark One strips her powers on her way out of Hell, leaving her a vulnerable human, reeling under the influence of human emotions, which deities do not possess. The deal she made with human-Deidre suddenly seems impossible to win. For the first time in her existence, she understands what Gabriel felt at her mercy for the eons they were together. She doesn’t know how to win the trust of the man she’s always loved – or even if she can.

Darkyn's Mate by Lizzy Ford
PICK UP AT AMAZON
Goodreads Synopsis:
Caught between Fate and the Dark One ...

Stuck in Hell, human-Deidre struggles to hold onto her hope that she can change the course of events that landed her as the mate of Darkyn, the Dark One. The chances of her leaving Hell plummet when the Dark One takes a drastic step to ensure he never loses his latest possession and blood binds her in an ancient rite from the time-before-time. In doing so, he is forced to share his power with her. Rather than despair, she begins to see that she has unexpectedly found her place in the world: protecting innocent souls from the bloodlust of the demon she's forever bound to.

Rather than accept her place at his side docilely, she begins to use her newfound influence to help those she cares about, including Gabriel, the former lover she's not yet ready to let go of, even knowing she'll never leave Hell.

Damian's Oracle by Lizzy Ford
PICK UP AT AMAZON
Goodreads Synopsis:
Inspired by Slavic mythology, Damien’s Oracle is the entree into the ongoing battle between good and evil over the fate of humanity. The White God, Damian, and his Guardians protect the world from the Black God and his monsters while rescuing Naturals – humans with extraordinary paranormal gifts - from the Black God, who would kill or convert them. 

Caught in the middle is cool-headed Sofia, a Natural whose gift will tip the scales in the war. Sofia begins her transformation from human into oracle, the first in thousands of years. Damian rescues her from the Black God in time to complete a ceremony that will bind her to him for eternity. Sofia struggles with her new world and her role as an oracle and Damian’s mate while haunted by a mysterious man from Damian’s past who’s supposed to be dead. Unbeknownst to her, her link to the dead man may be all that saves Damian, his Guardians, and the fate of humanity.

While he wants nothing more than for the petite beauty to take her place at his side like the oracles of legend did his White God forefathers, Damian can’t quite rationalize having to win her over instead of command her. Further complicating his life is the sobering realization that there are spies in his organization who are helping the Black God take out his Guardians. Damian must help Sofia reach her potential fast, especially when a threat from his past returns.

To make matters even worse, Dustin’s begun to dream of his dead sister, who tells him he’ll be seeing her soon.

Dustin rescues Bianca and her troubled brother, a Natural whose mysterious talent makes him vital to Talon’s plans. Bianca, a woman as sunny and sweet as Dustin is hard and cold, has the rare Natural gift of healing. She can bring the recent dead back to life or turn a vamp back into a human. She can even reach Dustin’s heart, which he locked away long again after his sister’s death. Convinced he’ll be killed soon, Dustin won’t risk his heart or Bianca’s, despite their mutual attraction, and Bianca discovers even her incredible talent can’t save both the men she loves.

Ephemeral (The Countenance Series Book 1) 

In the grand scheme of things, you’ll be dead a lot longer than you’ll ever be alive. 

The last thing Laken Stewart remembers is the oncoming car, then bursting through the windshield. 
Two months dissolve without her knowledge and she finds herself in unfamiliar surroundings with strangers who not only profess to know her but insist she’s someone else entirely. 
Laken discovers her long dead boyfriend, Wesley, has been thrown into this alternate world as well. He is quick to inform her she suffered a horrible fall and that her memory hasn’t fully returned. According to Wesley the other life she had—her name, her family, they were simply a side effect of her brain trauma. 
In her quest for answers she meets Cooper Flanders, the son of her psychiatrist who readily believes every word she says. 
Laken Stewart knows she died on that hot July afternoon, but now she’s alive—or is she? 

Evanescent (The Countenance Series Book 2) 

Sixteen-year-old Laken Stewart died last summer. Her resurrection at the hands of the Countenance hasn’t run smoothly. With the memory of her past life still firmly intact, Laken moves deeper into the Countenance organization in an effort to free her mother and sister from the deadly Celestra tunnels. 
The love she feels for her boyfriend, Wesley, is compromised when gorgeous Cooper Flanders teams up with her in the fight to free their families. Old bonds are slowly severed as new ones are galvanized. 
Wesley is sure that what he and Laken share is special but when it becomes apparent that she’s reading his mind, he’s determined to get to the bottom of her true intentions. And one thing is for sure, the Celestra that’s giving her these powers is going to have to pay. Wesley’s love for Laken takes him to dark places he never believed existed, and what he discovers dismantles his world as he knows it. 

Entropy (The Countenance Series Book 2) 

Laken Stewart is sure of one thing—she must free her loved ones from the notorious Celestra tunnels. 
Laken along with Cooper Flanders set out to free their families from the hands of the Countenance before it’s too late. Once her old boyfriend, Wesley, realizes who he really is, and what the Counts have cost him, he’s more determined than ever to win Laken back. 
Laken’s heart becomes divided, and yet she knows she must make a decision that has the power to shape all of their destinies forever. 
Laken has fallen hard for Cooper, but Wesley is back, and now her heart is torn. 
Cooper would give up his life to protect Laken, and he might just have to.

17-year-old Georjayna Sutherland isn’t exactly thrilled about going to Ireland to live with her aunt for the summer, and even less thrilled when her adopted cousin Jasher (cute though he may be) turns out to be as friendly as a nest of vipers. But at least it gets her out of Saltford and away from her neglectful mother, Liz.

When Georjie unearths Jasher's terrifying secret, and things she never knew about her own family begin to come to light; a heartbroken woman who disappeared without a trace, a desiccated body, and strange cocoons hanging in the greenhouse, she finds herself embroiled in a mystery that involves the very power of nature itself. 

But it's when Georjayna herself begins to change in new and powerful ways she doesn’t understand that she realizes…

…things have gotten personal.

North by Lizzy Ford

Goodreads Synopsis:
The past is waiting. 

Josie Jackson is whisked further into the past, to the era of Vikings and the (almost) eternal winters of Norway. Carter, the mastermind behind her foray through time, reveals that she’ll be remaining there for six years – assuming she survives the first winter. To complicate matters, Josie has an unexpected health condition, one that threatens her life more than the frigid cold, Viking raids and wild animals. 

After un-creating Taylor and leaving Batu in the Mongol era, Josie wants nothing to do with any other man, especially not the Viking warrior she’s engaged to shortly after dropped into a fjord in front of his village. Not everyone is as he seems in this era, from her reluctant new husband, to the mystic – scorned by the rest of the village – whose futuristic visions are too accurate to be divine, to Carter, the evil genius who’s tormented her through three eras of history. 

When she finally learns the truth behind why he chose her, she understands too well what the stakes of this game really are.
