The Resistance

 

About the Book

 

Title: Cry Wolf

 

Author: Greta Stone

 

Genre: M/M Urban fantasy

 

 

 

Everything you know is a lie.

 

Peter is a kitsune. Chaos follows him wherever he goes. Good intentions, bad intentions---it doesn’t matter. Even mimicking the howl of a friend he hasn’t seen in over a decade turns out to have disastrous consequences.

 

The wolf doesn’t have a name. For now, he goes by Luca. He has no past, and as an escaped slave, if he can’t stay hidden in the shadows, he’ll have no future. When someone steals his howl, he’s drawn to investigate, and ends up saddled with a mouthy fox who insists they used to be friends once upon a time.

 

Petty problems and a dubious reunion are pushed aside the longer they're stranded together. The Underwood is a dangerous place.

 

They have two choices: work together or die.

 

Join Greta Stone in a dark paranormal MM romance retelling of Aesop’s fable, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, and David P. Mannix's classic novel, The Fox and the Hound.

Book Excerpts

 

Excerpt One

 

Peter wheezed. “I can’t believe I just did that.”

 

Luca rolled onto the square yard’s swept stone. His hipbone and elbow were bruised, but he imagined it didn’t even compare to what Peter was feeling right now.

 

“I told you it was a bad idea.”

 

Peter rolled onto his back, a constant drizzle of steady rain mixed with the blood pouring from his nostrils in dark greenish tracks. He touched the back of his hand to the gore, nose scrunching in a wince. And then he yawned like the pain was gone.

 

“Well don’t rush to ask if I’m okay, Luca.”

 

“You just had to try it. You just couldn’t let it go. I told you that flying takes skill. I told you that you can’t just pretend your way through some things. We’re lucky we didn’t drop clear out of the sky the second you took off.”

 

“You know, I hear that you’re mad, and all I have to say is that no one told you to go along with my idea. If you felt that strongly about it, you should’ve said something.”

 

Luca almost punched him. “You told me to go along with your idea.”

 

“So admit that you had a little bit of fun and I’ll take you for another spin.”

 

“I didn’t have fun.” Luca rubbed the bleeding cut on his chin. “Actually, right around now is when I start to hold you responsible.”

 

Peter writhed in feigned agony. “Oh, the burden.”

 

Luca told himself he found nothing intriguing about this impishness. “I hate you.”

 

Excerpt Two

 

“What do you want to do to me?”

 

The question seemed to shock Luca somehow, the top of his sharp cheeks taking on the barest hint of cherry red. He seemed to give it some thought in the darkness of the dripping tunnel, “This time, when we do whatever we’re going to do, can you pretend…to love me.”

 

Peter halted. “What?”

 

“Don’t make it weird.”

 

Peter latched on to Luca’s arm and halted his purposeful march through the main chamber. “I’m not trying to make it weird. What did you say?”

 

“Pretend to love me this time. Despite being a shitty liar, you’re good at pretending. It shouldn’t be that hard for you to make me believe it.”

 

Peter squeezed his shoulder and turned him around so he could see his face, his stark features illuminated by the glowing blue pool of liquid. “You want to believe that I love you?”

 

“I want to know what it feels like…” His eyebrows knitted. “I keep thinking about Avaline. How much she must’ve loved him to turn her afterlife into this forest. A tree for every tear. I want to know what she was crying over.” Something about Peter’s expression triggered Luca’s defenses, and he spun around. “Forget it.”

 

“Stop,” Peter snapped with a vehemence that left his voice echoing in surrounding caverns.

 

Luca halted, but didn’t face him, head tilted to the side. “What?”

 

“Didn’t Lydia love you? Didn’t Chief love you?”

 

“I don’t think that’s the right kind of love.”

 

“What you asked for…” I don’t have to pretend. “Stay here. I’ll be back.”

 

“Where are you going?”

 

“To get rope.”

Title: The D.B. List

Author: Rebekah L. Purdy

Genre: YA Romance

Seventeen-year-old Ellie Gebhardt has spent the last three years of high school in psychotherapy, trying to fix a very broken her. And her shrink (or therapist as she likes to be called) seems to think that in order to totally heal, she needs to recognize all the good and bad things that have led her to this point. As if a trip down memory lane will suddenly make her better.

She’s given a “homework” assignment to create two lists. One with nothing but happy memories and thoughts on it (otherwise known as the ‘happy rainbow farting unicorns list’;). And the other with everything negative that Ellie thinks contributed to “the” day she could no longer cope.

So begins Ellie’s Douche Bag list (or D.B. List for short). And once she gets started, it’s hard to stop remembering all the jerks, the petty crap, the times she’d been bullied or the main focus of the rumor mill.

So when nice guy, Ky Laramie, walks into her life, Ellie instantly puts her shields up. But as she gets to know him and his family, she wonders if she can dare to put herself out there again. Because as everyone knows, once a candle is lit, the wind can always blow it out. And Ellie couldn’t handle it if Ky ends up atop of the D.B. List.

Author Bio

I was born and raised in Michigan (just look for the giant mitten on the map—it’ll likely throw a snowball at you). I spent most of my time in Michigan, but while in the army got to call KS, SC, MO, and CA home for awhile as well.

As a kid my family moved around a lot. Try spending both your freshman and senior years at new schools (yeah, loads of fun). I could’ve changed my name to “new girl”.

I love writing for teens because those are the years I remember falling in love with most of my favorite books. Some of the authors I couldn’t put down were L.J. Smith, Christopher Pike, R.L. Stine, Richie Tankersley Cusick, Joan Lowery Nixon, Lois Duncan, amongst several others.

My husband and I have a large family. There are six kids total! So we have LOTS of fun on vacations (although hours on the road, cooped up in the Expedition is kind of stressful—although we pass the time with MAD LIBS and hoping no one gets carsick).

Author Bio

When I was younger, I never knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. Part of my reason for dropping out of college was because I didn’t know what to major in. I was envious of my sister who knew from an early age, she was going to major in math. Good for her, but math was the last subject on my mind. I joined the Navy and found a track I liked. I became a photographer. I covered local news items, accidents, and even shot portraits. It was fun, but not a career path. When I got out of the Navy, I wanted to finish college but I was lost again. What to major in? I chose accounting because all businesses needed it and I went on to get my Bachelor’s and an MBA. After working in the field for a year, I went back in the Navy and asked for any assignment other than accounting. It worked. After 22 years in the Navy, I retired. My husband and I moved into our motorhome and hit the road. Unfortunately, he passed away and I went back to work at a government job. Then I found writing. I hadn’t written a thing since I was 14 but I was smitten by the bug and have been writing ever since. “Gossamer” is the sixth book I’ve had published and is the third book in a four book series, “The Chronicles of Eledon.” Hope you enjoy it. I had fun writing it.

Book Review

When asked about this tour I was like "huh sounds strange never heard of Gossamer let alone know what that means,' so I told Ms. Majanka bring it on, I'd like to do a review. Now imagine I had no idea what it was about so imagine my surprise at the fact that this book is about Elves!

I have not read the first two books (I'm already on it, I promise!) Back to the book!

As I have said, I did not read the first two books, but thankfully even though the author builds up to this book I was not completely lost on what was going on. Our lead character Alexin is this warrior, half mortal, half elf, and somewhere in the mix is Titan. Is it me or did Hercules just get voted off Survial Island? Alexin can fight, she is learning how to survive her heritage (aren't we all?) and somewhere in there not only does someone want her dead but Alexin must also fix the enterance to Seaward Isle and Eledon. She is only eighteen, all of her counter parts are at least one thousand years old. Talk about serious stress!

I could not put this book down and I am going to go back to the begining to get the whole wonderful story! I give this book five pots of gold out of five! I'm addicted and I can't wait for more to come.

Title: Seaside Rendezvous

Author: Natalie-Nicole Bates

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Layne MacDonald’s life should be better than ever. He’s successful, handsome, and part owner of a successful resort called Seaside Escape. But nothing makes Layne happy or satisfied for very long. Not even a reunion at Highland Bay with his brothers. His solution to his unhappiness has always been to run away from his problems.

When sassy dancer Raven Solis saves Layne from a potentially violent altercation, all he sees is the beautiful face, the sexy body, and what he perceives as a party girl lifestyle. In other words, a totally unsuitable girl.

But Raven is so much more than a party girl, and by the time Layne realizes she is The One for him, will it be too late?
