COVER REVEAL:Thanos by Ella Frank


Series: Masters Among Monsters #3
Publication Date: January 26th, 2017
Genre: Paranormal Romance

CHARMED FOR LIFE?
Thanos Agapiou has always been a charmer. For over two millennia, the vampire had no problem acquiring whom and what he wanted with a flash of his handsome smile. He took for granted the boyish good looks he presumed he’d possess for the rest of eternity.
How very wrong he was.
A nearly fatal attack distorted his entire existence. With his appearance now matching the title many have bestowed their kind—monster—he hides away from the world and all of those who know him, including his Ancient, Eton.
Until one night when a stranger draws him out from the shadows.
OR CURSED FOR ETERNITY?
Ever since Paris Antoniou was thrust into a world of vampires, his reality has become stranger than the history and the myths he’s studied for the past decade.
When he learns the truth about his origins and the power he wields, his confusion and fear have him running for his life. What he doesn’t expect is to run into the arms of Thanos—a vampire who doesn’t intimidate him as much as he intrigues him.
WHAT HAS THE POWER TO MAKE YOU WANT TO SURVIVE?
As their worlds collide under extraordinary circumstances, an attraction neither can deny takes hold. But will that be enough to save Thanos from his demons, or will he condemn Paris to his fate?
Destinies have been changed. Lines have been crossed. And, with tales of the vampire race coming to an end, who will make the ultimate sacrifice?
After all, in a world run by vampires and gods, only one can be the true Master among the Monsters.

COVER REVEAL:Mack Daddy by Penelope Ward


MACK DADDY
(A standalone)
Release date:2/13/2017
A Contemporary Romance Novel
New York Times, USA Today and #1 Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author Penelope Ward

Synopsis
From New York Times bestselling author, Penelope Ward, comes a sexy, STANDALONE second-chance romance.
They called him Mack Daddy. No, seriously, his name was Mack. Short for Mackenzie. Thus, the nickname. Perfect, right?
So was he: perfect. The perfect physical male specimen.
At the private school where I taught, Mack Morrison was the only man around in a sea of women.
Everyone wanted a piece of the hot single father of the sweet little boy.
I was riddled with jealousy, because they didn’t know that—to me—he was much more.
They didn’t know about our past.
He’d chosen my school for his son on purpose, because Mack and I, we had unfinished business.
As my friend Lorelai so eloquently put it: “Unfinished business between two people who are clearly attracted to each other is like an eternal case of blue balls.” And I was suffering in pain from my case.
I was still intensely attracted to Mack. I tried to resist him, immersing myself further into a relationship with another man just to protect my heart.
Not to mention, getting involved with a parent was strictly against school rules. But seeing Mack day in and day out was breaking me down.
And soon I might be breaking all the rules.

Author's note – Told in alternating points of view, Mack Daddy is a full-length standalone novel.

COVER REVEAL:Tormentor mine by Anna Zaires


Coming March 28th, Tormentor Mine, a new dark romance from New York Times bestseller Anna Zaires!

He came to me in the night, a cruel, darkly handsome stranger from the most dangerous corners of Russia. He tormented me and destroyed me, ripping apart my world in his quest for vengeance.
Now he's back, but he’s no longer after my secrets.
The man who stars in my nightmares wants me.

 Read an Excerpt from Peter’s POV
“Are you going to kill me?”
She’s trying—and failing—to keep her voice steady. Still, I admire her attempt at composure. I approached her in public to make her feel safer, but she’s too smart to fall for that. If they’ve told her anything about my background, she must realize I can snap her neck faster than she can scream for help.
“No,” I answer, leaning closer as a louder song comes on. “I’m not going to kill you.”
“Then what do you want from me?”
She’s shaking in my hold, and something about that both intrigues and disturbs me. I don’t want her to be afraid of me, but at the same time, I like having her at my mercy. Her fear calls to the predator within me, turning my desire for her into something darker.
She’s captured prey, soft and sweet and mine to devour.
Bending my head, I bury my nose in her fragrant hair and murmur into her ear, “Meet me at the Starbucks near your house at noon tomorrow, and we’ll talk there. I’ll tell you whatever you want to know.”
I pull back, and she stares at me, her eyes huge in her pale face. I know what she’s thinking, so I lean in again, dipping my head so my mouth is next to her ear.
“If you contact the FBI, they’ll try to hide you from me. Just like they tried to hide your husband and the others on my list. They’ll uproot you, take you away from your parents and your career, and it will all be for nothing. I’ll find you, no matter where you go, Sara… no matter what they do to keep you from me.” My lips brush against the rim of her ear, and I feel her breath hitch. “Alternatively, they might want to use you as bait. If that’s the case—if they set a trap for me—I’ll know, and our next meeting won’t be over coffee.”
She shudders, and I drag in a deep breath, inhaling her delicate scent one last time before releasing her.
Stepping back, I melt into the crowd and message Anton to get the crew into positions.
I have to make sure she gets home safe and sound, unmolested by anyone but me.

Loren Oliver - Amor delirija


Izdavač - Laguna

Svi smo mi bar jednom bili povređeni u ljubavi,i u tim momentima poželeli da postoji lek koji će nam odagnati bol, patnju,napraviti nas ravnodušnima i učiniti da zaboravimo.
Zamislite svet bez ljubavi,najdublje emocije,ljudi lišenih osećanja,svet gde vam drugi određuju zanimanje, način života,partnera sa kojim ćete provesti prazan život,bez strasti. Možete li da zamislite?

"Prošle su šesdeset četiri godine otkako su predsednik i konzorcijum ljubav proglasili bolešću i četrdeset tri otkako su naučnici usavršili lek protiv nje.Svi u mojoj porodici već su se podvrgli tretmanu.Moja starija sestra Rejčel je imuna na bolest već devet godina.Toliko je dugo bezbedna od ljubavi da kaže kako se više i ne seća njenih simptoma.Moj tretman je zakazan za tačno devedeset pet dana,trećeg septembra.Na moj rođendan."

U jednoj drugačijoj Americi ljubav je proglašena opasnom bolešću koja utiče na um tako da ne možete da razmišljate jasno ili donosite razumne odluke o sopstvenoj dobrobiti.Vlada primorava sve građane da se podvrgnu tretmanu izlečenja čim napune osamnaest godina. Lena Halovej živi s tetkom, tečom i rođacima u Portlandu. Lena se raduje tome što će se izlečiti i živeti sigurno i predvidljivo. Videla je kako je ljubav uništila njenu majku i ne želi da ponovi istu grešku. 

"Kažu da je ljubav dovodila ljude do ludila u starim vremenima.To je dovoljno loše.Knjiga o BZS (Priručnik o bezbednosti,zdravlju i sreći) govori i o onima koji su umrli zbog izgubljene ljubavi ili ljubavi koju nikad nisu pronašli,što me najviše plaši. Najsmrtonosnija od svih smrtonosnih pojava:ubija vas ako je imate,ubija vas ako je nemate." 

Lena je plašljiva i nesigurna devojka koja je uvek poštovala pravila koja su nametnuta društvu.Ali se često noću seti majčinih reči "Volim te.Zapamti to.Ne mogu nam to oduzeti."

"Takvim noćima - iako znam da je to pogrešno i zabranjeno - mislim o onim čudnim,užasnim rečima,volim te, i pitam se kakvog bi ukusa bile u mojim ustima, pokušavam da se setim njihovog pevljivog ritma na majčinom jeziku."

Lena se uvek trudila da bude strpljiva,poslušna i dobra.Da bude nevidljiva i nenametljiva.Sa šest godina je ostala bez majke,i završila je i odrastala kod hladne i nepristupačne tetke.Lena je jedino bliska sa svojom mlađom rođakom Grejs i najboljom drugaricom Hanom,koja ju je na dan Procene takođe pokolebala u ispravnost pravila koja su im nametnuta.

"Ne možeš biti stvarno srećna ako nekad nisi nesrećna.Znaš to,zar ne?"
...
"Bože,Leno,muka mi je.Zar tebi nije?Da se stalno okrećeš preko ramena,gledaš iza sebe,paziš šta govoriš, misliš i radiš.Ne mogu...ne mogu da dišem,ne mogu da spavam,ne mogu da se krećem.Čini mi se da su zidovi svugde.Kud god da prođem - tras!Tu je zid.Sve što želim - tras!Još jedan zid."

Sa druge strane postoje ljudi koji se protive tom sistemu,zovu ih Oštećeni i oni žive van granica,u takozvanoj Divljini,neuređoj zemlji između priznatih gradova i varoši.Na svakih nekoliko godina Oštećeni se uvuku u grad i održe nekakav protest.Ljudi iz Divljina ne doživljavaju ljubav kao bolest i ne veruju u lek.
Devedeset pet dana pre tretmana, Lena upoznaje Aleksa,devetnaestogodišnjeg mladića,koji je rođen i odrastao do desete godine u Divljinama,a zatim prešao u grad gde bi pružao i pomagao otpor i kako ih u gradu ima i više nego što misli. Priča joj o Divljinama - o logorskim vatrama,spavanju pod zvezdama,o tome kako ostaju budni do kasno u noć kako bi pevali i razgovarali.

"I dalje razmišljam o Divljinama.Nema ovoga.Nema zidova u koje ćeš utrčati.Nema očiju.Sloboda i prostor,mesta da se raširiš.Mrzeo sam ovaj grad.Ne možeš ni da zamisliš koliko sam ga mrzeo.Sve te zgrade,ljudi koji izgledaju toliko ošamućeno,mirisi,blizina svega i pravila - pravila gde god se okreneš,pravila i zidovi.Nisam navikao na to.Osećao sam se kao u kavezu.Mi jesmo u kavezu:kavezu s granicama."

Lena se zaljubljuje i po prvi put shvata da ljubav pretvara svet u nešto veće.Shvata da je bila uspavana,drugi su sve odlučivali umesto nje,plašila se svakog i svega,plašila se sebe.Više ne zna ni ko je ni gde pripada.Shvata da ljubav nije bolest,i da će radije zgrabiti ljubav,bol,patnju,strast nego da živi ispraznim životom.
Njihova ljubavna priča je divna,šta sve rade i žrvuju da bi bili zajedno.Lena će radije da umre po svojim uslovima,nego da živi pod njihovim.Radije će umreti voleći Aleksa nego da živi bez njega.

"I naravno,ljubimo se.Toliko se ljubimo da mi je čudno kad to ne radimo,kao da s navikavam na disanje kroz njegove usne i usta."


""Volim ga",ponavljam,isprobavam reč.Lako ju je izgovoriti,kad to jednom uradite. Kratka. Jasna. Kotrlja se s jezika.Neverovatna je.Nisam je nikad izgovorila."


Trčim,ni sama ne znam koliko dugo.Satima,možda ili danima. Aleks mi je rekao da trčim.I zato trčim.
Morate razumeti.Nisam posebna.Samo sam obična devojka.Visoka sam metar pedeset sedam i prosečna na sve moguće načine.
Ali imam jednu tajnu.Možete podići zidove sve do neba i naći ću način da preletim.Možete pokušati da me prikujete sa sto hiljada ruku,ali naći ću načina da im se oduprem.I ima nas mnogo,više nego što mislite.Ljudi koji odbijaju da prestanu da veruju.Ljudi koji odbijaju da se urazume.Ljudi koji vole u svetu bez zidova,ljudi koji vole u mržnji,u odbijanju,protivno nadi i bez straha.
Volim te. Ne zaboravi to. Oni nam to ne mogu oduzeti.


Malo je reći da obožavam ovaj serijal,ovo je treći put da čitam ovaj prvi deo,i svaki put mi je sve bolja i bolja.I verovatno ću se još koji put vratiti ovoj knjizi.Lep stil pisanja,odlični likovi,odlična radnja,zanimljiva tema. Lena nije jedna od onih glupavih i bespomoćnih devojaka koje se pojavljuju u knjigama ovog žanra. Autorka se jako dobro pozabavila ovim ženskim likom,svaki detalj,svaku misao je prelepo dočarala,i iako je autorka na dosta mesta u knjizi do tančina detaljisala(na primer,kakvo je vreme,imaš osećaj kao da čitaš vremensku prognozu 😂 ) meni to apsolutno nije smetalo,čak me je skroz uvuklo u knjigu,da osećaš, vidiš, čuješ...

Pre dve,tri godine je bilo govorkanja da se snima film sa Emmom Roberts u glavnoj ulozi.To sam totalno izgubila iz vida do pre neki dan kad mi je jedna cura rekla da postoji snimak od nekih 45 minuta,koji sam iskopala ovde DELIRIUM MOVIE,i to će sad da se gleda  😍

I iskreno se nadam da će Laguna prevesti ostale delove,s obzirom da je od izdavanja Amor delirija prošlo više od godinu i po dana 😞
