Blog Tour- THE WONDROUS AND THE WICKED by Page Morgan Top 5 Favorite Scenes and a Giveaway!


I am so excited to be able to host a stop on THE WONDROUS AND THE WICKED Blog Tour! I freaking love this series about Gargoyles, Angels, and demon hunters and it has the most swoon worthy cast of guys! Page has written one of my all time favorite book boyfriends into this series Nolan, swoons! I have Page's Top 5 favorite scenes from the entire series for you today. Make sure to enter the giveaway below for a copy of each of the books in the series courtesy of Page!

Haven't heard of THE WONDROUS AND THE WICKED? Check it out!


Title: THE WONDROUS AND THE WICKED
Author: Page Morgan
Pub. Date: April 14, 2015
Publisher: Delacorte Press
Pages: 352
Formats: Hardcover, eBook, audiobook
For fans of Lauren Kate's Fallen series comes the exciting conclusion to the trilogy that includes The Beautiful and the Cursed and The Lovely and the Lost. The Waverly sisters must save themselves before all is lost.

Since the Waverlys arrived in Paris, the streets have grown more fearsome by the day. As Ingrid learns to master her lectrux gift, she must watch Axia's power grow strong enough to extend beyond her Underneath hive. By all indications, the fallen angel's Harvest is near-and the timing couldn't be worse.

Targeted by vengeful gargoyles, Gabby has been exiled to London for her own protection. Meanwhile, the gargoyle castes are in disarray, divided between those who want Luc to lead them and those who resent him and his fondness for humans. The Alliance is crumbling from the inside as well, its members turning against one another, and possibly against the Waverlys, too.

Axia has promised that the world will burn. And now, unable to trust the Alliance, separated from Luc, Gabby, and her twin, Grayson, Ingrid is left to face the demon uprising alone.





Now on to the post!

Choosing my top five scenes from the series was a challenge! Every scene I wrote had importance and a reason for being there, but yes there were some I loved more than others. Here they are—and you may notice a theme throughout!

5.) In The Lovely and the Lost, when Nolan charmed Gabby into entering an old confession booth with him, and well…kissing happened. Despite the fact that Nolan has taken Gabby into a confessional to kiss her senseless, he’s an honorable man, and he promises her he will remain a gentleman. The scene really shows Gabby realizing this about him. I think this is where she really falls in love with him.

4.) The first chapter in The Wondrous and the Wicked, when Marco saves Ingrid from the Alliance assassin. It’s no secret that Marco is my favorite character from this series. I loved writing him as a protector—he is one fierce gargoyle!

3.) In The Lovely and the Lost, when Luc and Ingrid are alone in the bedroom at gargoyle common grounds. I’m sure you can all figure out WHY I loved writing that scene! They can only go so far in show their affection for one another, and this scene has them pushing the limits.

2.) In The Beautiful and the Cursed, when Luc and Ingrid are in the abbey and he shows her what he is for the first time. I loved writing his transformation and her reaction to it. She doesn’t shy away from him, like he expects. That’s where Luc first realizes this human is going to be trouble!

1.) The last chapter of The Wondrous and the Wicked. Because I wrote the whole series to be able to write that scene. No spoilers, sorry! 

Woot I loved this Page and #5 happens to be a personal favorite of mine! Also if the readers want to read that scene from Nolan's POV I had Page here for the blog tour last year and she wrote it for me go HERE to read it!

Dying to Read (80)- THE WITCH HUNTER by Virginia Boecker


Hey y’all thanks for stopping by to see my Dying to Read post and of course as always I have to give credit to the lovely Jill over at Breaking the Spine for the Waiting on Wednesday Meme!

I adore Megan and her Madman's Daughter books and when I heard she had another series I knew I'd add it to my tbr! Then the cover and the synopsis came out and I got even more excited for it!!!

THE WITCH HUNTER
Virginia Boecker
Release Date: June 2, 2015
Hardcover: 368 pages
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
ISBN: 978-0316327008
The magic and suspense of Graceling meet the political intrigue and unrest of Game of Thrones in this riveting fantasy debut.

Elizabeth Grey is one of the king's best witch hunters, devoted to rooting out witchcraft and doling out justice. When she's accused of being a witch herself, Elizabeth is arrested and sentenced to die at the stake. Salvation comes from a man she thought was her enemy. Nicholas Perevil, the most powerful wizard in the kingdom, offers her a deal: he will save her from execution if she can track down the person who laid a deadly curse on him.

As she's thrust into the world of witches, ghosts, pirates, and all-too-handsome healers, Elizabeth is forced to redefine her ideas of right and wrong, of friends and enemies, and of love and hate.



So what do you think? Will you be adding this to your pile? What are you dying to read this week?

Jaime's Review of The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead


The Golden Lily
Richelle Mead
Hardcover: 418 pages
Release date: June 12, 2012
Publisher: Razorbill (Penguin)
ISBN: 1595143181
Source: ARC received at the Romantic Times Book Convention.
Rating: Loved
From Goodreads.

From Goodreads. The second thrilling installment in Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy spinoff series Tough, brainy alchemist Sydney Sage and doe-eyed Moroi princess Jill Dragomir are in hiding at a human boarding school in the sunny, glamorous world of Palm Springs, California. The students--children of the wealthy and powerful--carry on with their lives in blissful ignorance, while Sydney, Jill, Eddie, and Adrian must do everything in their power to keep their secret safe. But with forbidden romances, unexpected spirit bonds, and the threat of Strigoi moving ever closer, hiding the truth is harder than anyone thought. Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, Richelle Mead's breathtaking Bloodlines series explores all the friendship, romance, battles, and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive. In this second book, the drama is hotter, the romances are steamier, and the stakes are even higher.

I was so happy to see they had copies of this at RT! I didn’t myself get a copy but when I saw that one of my blogging buddies did I asked her if she would trade. I would have offered her my first born child for The Golden Lily! Thankfully she said yes (and all she wanted was a book lol) so the minute I got home I put off my other reading and dove in. Well without rambling or sounding incoherent nah not gonna work.  OMFG this book was sooooooo freaking unbelieveable, it was amazeballs, awesometastic, brilliant, wonderful, and marvelous!!!!! It was better than Bloodlines!

Ok so now trying to review without spoilers ummm I can’t, but what I will say is my love for Adrian grew exponentially and my admiration for Sydney grew as well. Never fear Dimka fans he’s still in it as well even though honestly I didn’t see the need (except to appease the Dimitri fans lol),  and there’s the same crew from Bloodlines as well as a few new additions one of those being a new boy whom I ended up kinda swooning over but he definitely didn’t take Adrian’s place in my heart. Oh and the story is so much better!  We get to meet new bad guys which was cool because after 7 books I was getting kind of sick of the strigoi. And there’s more magic use and not just the vampire kind!! Ok enough rambling I’ll share a quick passage with you now!

“Adrian?”

All reasonable thought vanished from my head. Adrian was lying on my car.
I ran over to Latte as fast as the dress would allow me. “What are you doing?” I demanded. “Get off of there!” I automatically checked for dents and scratches.

Adding insult to injury, Adrian was actually smoking as he lay on the hood and stared up at the sky. Clouds were moving in, but a half-moon could occasionally be seen. “Relax, Sage. I won’t leave a scratch. Really, this is surprisingly comfortable for a family car. I would’ve expected—“

He turned his head toward me and froze. I had never seen him so still—so quiet. His shock was so thorough and intense that he actually dropped his cigarette.

“Ahh,” I cried, springing forward, lest the burning cigarette damage the car. It landed harmlessly on the asphalt, and I quickly stamped it out. “For the last time, will you get off of there?”

Adrian slowly sat up, eyes wide. He slid off the hood and didn’t seem to leave any marks. 

Obviously, I’d have to check it later, “Sage,” he said “What are you wearing?”

I sighed and stared down at the dress. “I know. It’s red. Don’t start. I’m tired of hearing about it.”

“Funny,” he said. “I don’t think I could ever get tired of looking at it.”

Hope that was enough to get you by until June lol ;)
