Be careful what you let in…

Siler House has stood silent beneath Savannah’s moss-draped oaks for decades. Notoriously haunted, it has remained empty until college-bound Jess Perry and three of her peers gather to take part in a month-long study on the paranormal. Jess, who talks to ghosts, quickly bonds with her fellow test subjects. One is a girl possessed. Another just wants to forget. The third is a guy who really knows how to turn up the August heat, not to mention Jess’s heart rate…when he’s not resurrecting the dead. 

The study soon turns into something far more sinister when they discover that Siler House and the dark forces within are determined to keep them forever. In order to escape, Jess and the others will have to open themselves up to the true horror of Siler House and channel the very evil that has welcomed them all.






As well as participating in the YA Fantasy Tour between May 20-24th. Make sure and come and play along with us!

Something Fun!

I thought this might be fun and maybe get people to interact with us a bit. I'm going to post pictures of actors/actresses I picture in some of the book series I've read and reviewed. Then you tell me who you picture! All reviews are located on the right of the page -----------> Check them out too!

Wide Awake by Shelly  Crane:
I had a little bit of a time picturing the roles of Mason and Emma. But these are who I see:

For Mason, Zac Efron, now, not the High School Musical Days. Mason is strong, has tattoos and is soulful. And I think Zac really matches his description.


For Emma, I picture her looking "Sweet and bubbly" but also confidant and determined. So for her, I imagine someone like Megan Park.



Beautiful Disaster/Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire:
I don't know if there's anyone who is the "perfect" Travis and Abby, but these are as close as I can get!

For Travis, Chase Crawford. He has the right look for Travis, I'm pretty sure he could bulk up to be a fighter, and in this pic, he's already got a motorcycle like Travis!



As for Abby, she needs to be someone who can pull off the "poker face" and still look like the sweet and innocent girl that Abby tries to be. So my choice for Abby is Ashley Benson:


Inside Out Series by Lisa Renee Jones:

Chris is a sexy motorcycle riding Artist with a troubled past, he's got longish blonde hair and is known to be seen in a leather jacket. My choice for Chris is Chad Michael Murray:



Mark is a determined, take no prisoner type boss who tries to flirt himself into Sara's life as he runs the prestigious Art gallery he owns. I picture him kind of like George Stults:



Sara was a highschool teacher who stumbled upon a journal written by another woman who led a very sexy life and then vanished. Sara steps into that life and into the world of Chris Merrit and Mark Compton. I picture her like Ashley Greene.


And then there's Rebecca. The woman who wrote the journals and then vanished, that brought Sara into it all. I picture her like Michelle Trachtenberg.



Now tell me your choices!

Lisa Renee Jones' Inside Out series now has an Official Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest page to follow to keep up with all Starz updates on the upcoming TV show, giveaways and more!

Kind of Cool!

Author, Katheryn Lane, ran a contest to name the Heroine, the Heroine's Mother, and the life guard of her newest series, The Sheikh's Beloved. My name, Mandy, was picked to be the Heroine's mother's name!Katheryn contacted me earlier this week about it, I suggested my name on her blog post. Thought it was pretty cool, can't wait to read the series and see what the character that will have my name is like! Here was Katheryn's Facebook post about my name being one of those picked:

Thank you for all the wonderful suggestions for names for the characters in my next sheikh romance series, The Sheikh's Beloved. There were so many beautiful ones that it was hard to choose, but the winners are Tassie (Twitter entry) and Mandy H (blog entry). Thank you!



Here is The Sheikh's Beloved's cover:

Are You Mine? by N.K Smith Cover Reveal

We are excited to take part in the cover reveal for Are You Mine? by N.K Smith today!


Human connection? Who needs it?


Ever since she can remember, wealthy but weary Saige Armstrong has felt different from her peers in Pechimu, New Jersey. With only one good friend to her name, she has navigated the complicated halls of high school and is now faced with the timeless question: Now what?


Fox Harrington, a fun-loving, socially charismatic graffiti artist uses his passions to color his world exactly how he wants it. He knows exactly where his life is headed. That is, until he meets Saige.


A summer project links the two together, making a tentative friendship bloom into romance, but despite their affection for each other, fundamental beliefs and ways of thinking threaten to destroy all they have built.


In this tender story of young love, N.K. Smith delivers a striking tale of two people standing on the precipice of adult life.


Are You Mine? will be released August 7, 2013
Goodreads




Based in the American Midwest, N.K. Smith is a Technical Writer for a Fortune 100 company. The author of the Old Wounds Series, Ghosts of Our Pasts, and My Only, she is a mother of two who finds the time to write very early in the morning when the rest of the world is still fast asleep.


An avid lover of history, art, music, books, and people, she is interested in telling stories that speak to the human condition.
