Noticia: vuelve El pozo de todas las almas

Vuelve El pozo de todas las almas, de Amaya Felices.

Literarios, si sois seguidores de Amaya Felices (su blog), aquí vienen buenas noticias. Hay continuación y sólo hay que esperar hasta febrero para tenerla al alcance.

Nacida para ser perfecta, con un cuerpo capaz de hacer que cualquiera entregue su alma a cambio de poseerlo. Criada sin más alegrías que sus clases de lucha. Creyéndose maldita por un corazón cuyo dolor no entiende. Alimentada a través de la carne. Diseñada para ser el segundo ser más poderoso del mundo aunque ella misma piense que su vida no vale nada. 

Pero cuando se acerca la noche de su cincuenta y cinco cumpleaños, la mayoría de edad para los suyos, descubre una antigua venganza que debe completar. Se da cuenta de que es un peón importante en una guerra que lleva siglos fraguándose y duda de lo que siempre ha creído ser. 

Cazarrecompensas, de madre asesinada y padre ejecutado, sarcástica y transgresora, protegida del único vampiro al que no desea estacar con sus tacones... por sus venas corre la sangre demoníaca más seductora y peligrosa. Así como el potencial para acceder al poder del pozo de todas las almas. 

Dicen de este libro de fantasía urbana:

Le tenía altas expectativas al libro y al leerlo no ha hecho más que cumplirlas y sobrepasarlas. Un libro de fantasía como el que no leía desde hacía muchísimo tiempo, una trama trepidante y adictiva con una protagonista hecha a su perfecta medida y unas batallas espléndidas que me ha dejado con ganas de más. 

Libros del cielo 

El pozo de todas las almas lo tiene todo: una trama absorbente, personajes completamente tridimensionales, un entorno verosímil que choca con un mundo fantástico y aterrador, el chico muy pero que muy sexy, diálogos ingeniosos y un lenguaje que combina la descripciones realistas, un vocabulario cuidado y un despliegue de palabrotas colocadas con gracia y acierto. ¡Increíble! 

La pluma del ángel caído 

El Pozo de todas las Almas es una obra entretenida y dinámica que nos presenta una trama curiosa. Amaya Felices nos da esta muestra de su escritura y nos emplaza a seguir su trayectoria y a colocar sus próximas obras en nuestro punto de mira. Más que Recomendable.

Felices fiestas, Literarios :o) ¿Os gusta más el turrón o los mazapanes? Yo hace tiempo que no como nada de eso, pero el Roscón de Reyes me tiene esclava, jajajaja.

This much is true: novedad + sorteo doble

Creo que una de las razones por las que leo es para encontrar la verdad que esconde mi humano corazón y que, por alguna razón, los libros son capaces de transmitir y compartir a través de la mentira literaria. Una paradoja maravillosa, ¿no creéis?

This Much is True cuenta la historia de Tally y Lincoln, diferentes entre sí, con objetivos distintos, pero ambos esconden verdades bajo el disfraz de la mentira. ¿Puede el amor florecer en esas condiciones?

New Adult/Adult Contemporary Romance

Fate brings them together. 

Fame & lies keep them apart. One truth remains...

 

She's become the Paly High girl with the most tragic story...

At 17, Tally Landon just wants to graduate and leave for New York to pursue ballet. Her best friend Marla convinces her to attend one last party--a college party--where she can be among strangers and evade the whisperings about her heartbreaking loss that follows her everywhere she goes. While at the party, she meets Lincoln Presley, Stanford's famous baseball wonder and has a little fun at his expense--when she lies about her age and who she really is--intent on being someone else for the night and escaping her tragic story.

His only focus is baseball, but he can't forget the girl he saved on Valentine's Day...

At 22, Lincoln Presley's star is on the rise; he's about to finish at Stanford and expected to be taken early in Major League Baseball's upcoming draft. His cousin's party serves as a welcome distraction. But then, he sees the girl from Valentine's Day he saved from that horrific car accident; and he can't quite hide his disappointment when she appears to look right through him and not remember him at all. He vows to learn her name at least before he leaves. What's the harm in getting to know this girl? What's the worst that can happen?

Fate soon tests these two star-crossed lovers in all kinds of ways...

And yet, despite the lies being told to protect the other, and the trappings of fame that continually separate them, and in lieu of the deception by those they've come to trust the most; one truth remains.

This much is true.

Pentimento: un futuro oscuro y sorteos internacionales

Cada día me asombra más la cantidad de historias que hay por ahí circulando con ganas de cautivarnos. En esta ocasión, he encontrado PENTIMENTO, de Cameron Jace. Trata sobre un mundo post-apocalíptico donde los gobernantes, llamados Bestias, reclaman una joven cada semana. Se las conoce por Las Novias y nunca regresan. Iris ha desafiado el sistema desde que tenía diez años, así que no le preocupa ser una de las candidatas. Hasta que un día conoce a Colton,, cuya confianza en sí mismo y su dominio del entorno la dejan fascinada. Aunque se rumorea que es uno de ellos, lo que pondría  a Iris en la lista de las Bestias. 

Parece rara y sexy. Mola.

Pentimento by Cameron Jace 
Publication date: December 20th, 2013
Genres: Paranormal, Post-Apocalyptic, Young Adult

Synopsis:

The day Iris Beaumont turns seventeen, she is threatened to be taken by the Beasts, the rulers of the new America. After the destruction of the world, the Beasts provide citizens with whatever they need in exchange for the one teenage girl they enslave every week. They call them the Brides, and they never comes back. Iris isn’t the worrying type though; she’s been defying the system since she was ten and never cared for the Beast’s rules.

Then she meets Colton Ray, who is not like any other boy she’s ever seen. His confidence and dominance are otherworldly she can’t rationalize the attraction she feels for him. Colton had one slight problem though. It’s rumored he is one of the Beast, and Iris could be the next on the Beast’s list.

AUTHOR BIO

Wonderlander, Neverlander, Unicorn-chaser, enchanter, musician, survived a coma, & totally awesome. Sometimes I tell stories. Always luv the little monsters I write young adult paranormal romance, urban fantasy, and science fiction mostly. The Grimm Diaries series is a seven book saga that deals with retellings of fairy tales from a young adult POV - it connects most of the fairy tales together and claims to be the truth about fairy tales. I live in San Fransisco and seriously think circles are way cooler than triangles.

AUTHOR INTERVIEW

Q: What inspired you to write another Beauty and the Beast retelling when there are a Beauty and a Beast in your Grimm Diaries series?

A: Well, first of all, it’s a totally different Beauty and the Beast. It’s a dystopian story that came to me after learning what about the art of Pentimento.

Q: So what is a Pentimento?

 A: Pentimento is a painter’s term. It’s when you discover that an older painting had been originally drawn underneath the one you see right now. It’s a very interesting concept, and it’s true. The painter decides to change his painting midways, and then paints the new one above it. It happened a lot with great artists like Picasso and others in the past, mainly because they didn’t have enough money to buy a new canvas. Interesting enough, usually the new painting peel off and thins with age, and older one surfaces back. It has a great significance in the book.

Q: Does that mean it’s a complicated book?

A: Not at all. It’s a simple story about a girl named Iris Beaumont falling in love with a very interesting boy at seventeen. They live in a dystopian society ruled by an alien nation that demands a ‘bride’ each week in exchange for the services they provide for humans. It’s an easy read, a romance, only with Beauty and the Beast layers underneath.

Q: Can you give us an example of a real Pentimento Case in life?

A: Of course. Fragonard’s painting The Fountain of Love. Which is featured in the story. Here is a Youtube link to a video that explains the whole concept.  

Q: Why dystopian?

A: I have been pondering the idea of dystopian fairy tales for a long time. After the Grimm Diaries has been successful for connecting fairy tales with real world characters and events, I thought why not try a dystopian fairy tale. I didn’t know how to do it until Pentimento’s idea came to me.

Q: The cover for Pentimento looks sexy. What do you rate the book?

A: Fairly PG. It’s a family friendly and it’s geared toward young adults, although many non-young-adults beta read it and loved it.

Q: Who are the Beasts in the book, really? And why do they take the girls?

A: Can’t say. Lol. You have to read it. And don’t forget to tell me what you thought of it. I am always open to suggestions and feedback.

Q: Anything you want to add?

A: I wish everyone and awesome Christmas and a Fantabulous new yearJ

Today is the release day of Twisted

(Deathwind Trilogy #1) 

by Holly Hook!

Purchase on Amazon   Purchase on B&N   Purchase on Smashwords

Sixteen-year-old Allie isn’t like other girls. Instead of spending her summer break sitting around on the beach, she takes the epic vacation of a lifetime.

Tornado chasing.

And she’s not disappointed. Just a few miles from the town of Evansburg, Nebraska, Allie meets her dream of seeing a tornado. In person. She can’t wait to tell her friends back home. Never mind that her parents are going to kill her.

But her dream soon turns into a nightmare, and a strange event leaves her shocked. Confused. When she returns home to Wisconsin, something’s…different. Allie now bears a curse so awful, it could destroy everyone and everything she’s ever known.

With her best friend, Tommy, Allie must return to the plains to find a way to reverse it. She enters a world that she had never imagined, where she becomes a pawn in a fight to save the people of Evansburg from her fate…or to destroy them.

Teaser

My very first tornado touches the grass of the plains. 

I stand next to the van, mouth dropping open, heart pounding. It’s the moment I’ve been waiting for, saved money for, begged my uncle to book us for the Wild Weather Storm Chasing Tours for.

Uncle Cassius swears next to me, equally in awe. It barely cuts over the wind rushing towards the distant funnel. Waves of grass bow down to the twister, whipped down by the surrounding air flying in to feed it. The perfect white cone stands out against the coal sky, slim and graceful. A skirt of dust spins around its base, signaling its dance through a field a few miles away. 

“Beautiful!” Kyle, our storm chaser guide, snaps a photo for his website. He steals a glance at me and smiles. He’s all enthusiasm, joy that we’ve found our prey. “Don’t worry. We’re safe. It’s heading to the east. It’ll pass no closer than a couple of miles to our north.” 

I want his job someday. 

“I’m not scared,” I said, but my shaky voice betrays me. Who am I kidding? Kyle’s an experienced chaser–twenty years–but this is a real tornado. In person. Live. I never realized it would be this intense, this breathtaking. A hollow feeling fills my stomach like I’m plunging down the first hill of a roller coaster. 

The tornado curves, almost like it’s leaning to the side for a better look at something. At us? It’s a silly thought, one that makes me laugh. The thunderstorm spins slowly above it, low and menacing. Thunder claps. It’s enough to remind me that the storm in front of me isn’t just beautiful. It’s a predator, entrancing like a cobra and ready to strike. 

Good thing there’s no houses or buildings in its way. Only farmland stretches from horizon to horizon. 

“Allie. Forget your camera?” Uncle Cassius slaps me on the arm, smiling. It’s a tense smile. So I’m not the only one with some nerves going. 

Camera. 

Yes. Duh. 

I pull it out of my pocket and fumble with the slim case, fingers hunting for the button. The camera zings to life. Behind it, the tornado looms a bit larger, gaining strength and racing across the ground. More dust kicks up around the perfect white of the twister. 

“Now I can really prove to everyone at school how crazy I am.” I give Uncle Cassius a nervous chuckle. The camera trembles in my hands as I catch the tornado in my view, click, and seal it in my memory forever. 

I’m having the most insane summer vacation of my entire high school.

I lift the camera for another shot, backing up to squeeze the tornado into the viewport. I click another picture and lowered the camera again for another look. 

My heart jumps. 

The tornado looms larger, taller. Kyle holds his hand up to his face, squinting for a better view. Even Uncle Cassius goes quiet, stiffening and taking a step back towards the tour van. 

All at once I understand. 

The tornado has changed course. 

Kyle turns. Real fear widens his features. 

“Get in the van,” he shouts.

* * * * *

The one big thing I can recall from those first ten seconds is the roar, like a distant train growing closer. The wind whips my hair back, trying to pull me back out of the van. It feels like the twister’s right behind me already, coming down for the kill. 

I slam the door on it. The funnel’s much bigger behind the glass, so much that I can’t see the top of it anymore. 

Uncle Cassius snaps on his seat belt next to me. Kyle starts it up, punches the gas, and gets us back on the road to nowhere. 

I toss my camera to the floor. My hands fumble with the seat belt. The van speeds up, slamming me into the seat. The specter of the tornado closes in, whipping across the field towards us. I’ve heard of tornadoes making sudden turns like this but I never realized it could happen this fast. It rips across the field, coming straight at us. My heart beats on a runaway course. My mind locks into overdrive. I feel like that news crew they always have on tornado shows, that one that survived by hiding under that overpass. Will Kyle make us get out and climb under one? They’re actually bad places to hide. That news crew got off lucky. Kyle knows better. He’s been chasing storms longer than I’ve been alive. 

Only green and yellow spreads out ahead. No shelter for miles. Worse, no ditches. The radar on Kyle’s laptop is covered in ugly red and orange blotches like Nebraska has sores. 

A hole of panic opens up inside me and for the first time, I regret coming on this vacation. 

“Can’t you go faster?” Uncle Cassius leans forward in his seat, gaze hard, arms trembling. 

Uncle Cassius never loses his cool. 

Ever. 

Not even when I accidentally set his Persian rug on fire when I was seven and broke my arm at the age of nine. 

Outside, the tornado grows so close that I could only see the bottom half of the funnel. The van bounces along every speed bump on the highway, every uneven spot. My stomach heaves. I’m going to be sick right here. It’s my stupid fault we’re in this mess. 

“I don’t understand.” Kyle punches the gas harder, making the van jump. He turns his head like Linda Blair in the Exorcist, eyes widening. “The tornado should not be moving this way.”

He’s right. It shouldn’t. But it is. 

The funnel reaches the road behind us, twisting harder, kicking up earth higher and higher. We’ve gotten out in front of it. I breathe a sigh of relief. Kyle and Uncle Cassius do the same. It’ll cross the road and forget all about us. 

Kyle lets off the gas a little and the whine of the engine calms some. “We’re safe now. That was highly unusual. I’ve never seen a tornado turn like that in my career.” There’s a hint of an apology in his voice. 

“Well, that was a close one, wasn’t it, Allie?” Uncle Cassius hugs me from the side. 

“Yeah,” I say, willing my heart to slow down. At least I can think straight now. Can I even do another two days of this? 

Wow, what a dumb idea this was. 

But I still can’t resist another look at the storm. I turn as far as my seat belt allows. 

My guts fall out of me all over again. 

The tornado’s still on the road, bigger than ever. It can’t be. 

The twister has turned again. It’s coming right up behind us. Rolling dust eats the entire highway. There’s tornado taking up the whole view of the back window. Dust rips to the sides. The bottom of its funnel spins with fury, big enough to swallow a house whole. Its roar screams against the outside of the van, shaking the seat, pushing the whole van to the side. 

It’s no longer beautiful. 

“Ohmigod,” I say, sucking in a breath. “Um…Kyle? Stomp on the gas. Just saying.” 

“I know!” he snaps. His knuckles turn white on the steering wheel. The van lurches again but he maintains control. 

“Allie, get down!” Uncle Cassius puts his huge hand on my back and pushes me towards the floor. 

The seat belt cuts into my throat. 

What good is it going to do? If the tornado lifts the car– 

I’m going to die. 

I begged to go on this trip and now Uncle Cassius is going to die too. 

The windows shatter with a deafening boom and the wind screams in my ears. AllieAllieAllieAllie…

I can’t breathe. 

We’re floating. 

Uncle Cassius shouts something. Kyle yells. If I’m screaming, I can’t tell. The storm’s sucking it right out of me. Windy hands seize my arms, my legs. 

They pull. 

My safety belt snaps, whipping against my leg. I cry out with the sting. The seat disappears under me. 

I’m flying. 

The tornado’s ripping me right out of the van. 

The world turns to a white and brown roar. The van’s gone. I have no time to cry out to Uncle Cassius before the world snaps to black and silence takes the place of all.

Welcome to the Release Day Party

& Giveaway for

The Migraine Mafia

By: Maia Sepp 
Genre: Humor, Contemporary,Women's Fiction
Release Date: December 13th, 2013

Synopsis: 

On paper, Viive McBroome lives the perfect life--a key player in a fast-paced, technical field, one promotion away from real success--but that's only if you ignore one little problem.

Sandwiched between one migraine and the next, Viive's life is like those choose-your-own-adventure books you read as a kid, only less fun and with a lot more drugs. And lately, as her bosses politely march her toward a vacation that might never end, even the good days feel like a struggle for survival.

Faced with frustration from her loved ones and the dark machinations of a new colleague, Viive feels herself getting pulled under by guilt, apologies, and workplace shenanigans. But then she meets the Migraine Mafia, a quirky, vibrant support group, and her fragile camouflage begins to crumble. She discovers that a room full of strangers just might be able to change the way she views her illness--and realizes that if she doesn't learn to ask for help, her health isn't the only thing she stands to lose.

Sometimes painful, frequently hilarious, always entertaining, The Migraine Mafia is the story of one woman's life-altering decision to thrive in the face of chronic illness.
