Catherine Stine
Genre: YA paranormal/horror

Cover Artist: Sour Cherry Designs
Book Description:
Internet followers, beauty, power. It all sounded good.
Until it transformed into a terrifying reality Dorianna couldn’t stop
Dorianna is a dark twist for the Internet generation on A Picture of Dorian Gray.
When her father is jailed, her mother ships lonely, plain Dorianna to her aunt’s. There, Dorianna yearns to build a new identity, but the popular Lacey bullies her—mostly for getting attention from her ex, Ander.
Ander takes Dorianna to Coney Island where Wilson, a videographer, creates a stunning compilation of her. She dreams of being an online sensation, as she’s never even had a birthday party, and vows she’d give anything to go viral. Wilson claims he’s the Prince of Darkness and warns her the pledge has downsides.
Dorianna thinks he’s joking. She has no idea of how dire the consequences might be.

Book Description:
Follow the lives of two sets of fraternal triplets, Rowan, Chloe, and Kaiden Alexander and Xavier, Cian, and Brianna Silvan as they spend the summer immersed in witchcraft in the second book of the Witches of Spring Hill series.
Now that the Alexanders and Silvans have seen what they are capable of together, they believe that they are prepared for anything. But when a sexy stranger shows up at a party, Rowan is the first to suspect that there is more to this girl than meets the eye. With her newfound abilities, Rowan hopes to uncover the mystery of the new girl, while protecting Chloe and Cian from whatever… or whoever is breaking their bond. And although Kaiden can tell there’s something going on with his sisters, he’s having a hard time focusing on anything but Brianna Silvan.
Determined to unlock the secrets of their past, Brianna and Cian Silvan open the books that were left to them. In doing so, they raise more questions than answers and open themselves up to more than just their history. In searching for the missing third book, they encounter someone who has a vested interest in them and their books. Liam Alexander remains focused on protecting his family, but between dealing with two break-ins and coping with Rowan’s new abilities, he is forced to put his trust in Xavier… until one of them breaks their agreement.
The Silvans and the Alexanders must join together again, this time to stop the forces that threaten to separate them for good. But they won’t have to do it alone… they’ll get help from someone whose arrival in town will change all of their lives forever. Bonds will be broken, new relationships will begin, and new abilities will manifest, making this a summer no one will ever forget.

Nora’s impending college graduation is a triumph over the dark incident in her past that changed her life and stopped her best friend’s. Balancing school, work and her demented admirer at the diner is tough. All she has is six more months, but it similar to walking a tightrope blindfolded.

Today,
More Romance Please is fortunate to have Nora Carpenter from Revelation with us. Hey, Nora.
Hey yourself.
I hear
you’re almost finished with your degree.
These last six months are kicking my butt.
Why is
that?
(Nora sighs. Her mouth pulls to one side as if
considering her answer.) The usual stuff working a full time job, going to
school, clinicals at the hospital, and then there’s the dreams.
What
dreams?
Um, well, I didn’t mean to mention that. It
just sorta slipped out.
Go on
and explain the dreams to me.
They are peculiar in the fact they always
involved the same man. He’s Irish. Has that sexy lilt thing going on and this
dark hair that’s always falling into his eyes. (She smiles.) He’s some type of
traveling healer. I go to sleep and suddenly he’s there.
I take
it these aren’t nightmares.
Oh, definitely not. They’re pleasant dreams,
very pleasant. Sometimes I even think I hear his voice in my head when I’m
awake.
Voices
in your head, that’s peculiar.
Forget I said that. It was a slip of the
tongue. It didn’t mean anything.
Okay.
Will do. Outside of what you already said, is anything else making life more
complicated?
Men, in general, but one steady customer at the
diner always has to whine about my cooking. If it’s so bad, why does he keep
coming back?
I know
that must be irritating. Is there anything else about him?
It sounds silly when I say it, but he just
feels evil. Have you ever met anyone
that you just didn’t like, but you couldn’t say why? He’s like that. He doesn’t
complain to my manager and he always comes back. Food must not be that
bad. He makes up some complaint and then
insists on talking to me. Once I talk to him, he usually backs down even when I
offer to make him another meal.
Sounds
to me like he has a crush on you.
That’s what Ernie, the first cook shift says.
That would be a nightmare. I’m just leary around men because of something that
happened in my past. (She holds up her hand.) Don’t ask.
The
Irish guy in your dreams didn’t make you nervous.
Yeah, but he was a dream. Aren’t dreams
supposed to be nice or what we want them to be. That’s why they’re dreams, not
nightmares.
Thanks
for talking to me, pleasant dreams.
From your mouth to the Goddess’ ear.

Book Spotlight: After the Summerland by Patricia Proctor
After the Summerland
The Witches of Spring Hill
Book 1
Patricia Proctor
Genre: YA Paranormal
Number of pages: 252
Amazon |
Book Description:
Teen triplets are shocked to discover they are the reincarnation of three witches living on sacred land. The land magnifies their abilities, making them more powerful witches – and targets. They aren’t the only ones aware of the power the land gives . . .
Chloe, Kaiden, and Rowan Alexander can’t wait to meet the new triplets that have just arrived in town. They are determined to find out if they are anything alike. The attraction is instant, though they soon discover they share more than just being fraternal triplets – in fact, Brianna, Cian, and Xavier Silvan are also witches with a secret of their own.
They must overcome their distrust of each other and join together to fight a much stronger witch, who wants the sacred land for more than the power it gives.
It’s a paranormal coming of age story where the teens discover the purpose of their existence, explore their new powers, new relationships, and overcome family secrets, all while becoming stronger witches. They must learn quickly so they can protect themselves and the people they love from the force of dark magic bearing down on them.

About the Book:
Aww, Hell No!
Fifteen year-old Megan Barnett and her single mom, Suze, have a special relationship—they are friends, close friends, who do almost everything together.

The special bond takes a turn for the worse when Suze decides to start dating again. She hasn’t had a man in her life since Megan’s father left ten years ago.
Enter two mysterious young men, Megan’s new classmate, sinfully attractive bad boy, Guy Matson, and the dangerously handsome art dealer, Armando. Before long Megan and Suze both wind up in steamy relationships. But neither of the handsome guys is quite what he seems. In fact, one of them is Satan, with his sights set on a new bride.
