#1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole introduces The Arcana Chronicles, post-apocalyptic tales filled with riveting action, the dark mysticism of Tarot cards, and breathtaking romance.She could save the world—or destroy it.                                                                                                     Sixteen year old Evangeline “Evie” Greene leads a charmed life, until she begins experiencing horrifying hallucinations. When an apocalyptic event decimates her Louisiana hometown, Evie realizes her hallucinations were actually visions of the future—and they’re still happening. Fighting for her life and desperate for answers, she must turn to her wrong-side-of-the-bayou classmate: Jack Deveaux.                                                                                                           But she can’t do either alone.                                                                                                                      With his mile-long rap sheet, wicked grin, and bad attitude, Jack is like no boy Evie has ever known. Even though he once scorned her and everything she represented, he agrees to protect Evie on her quest. She knows she can’t totally depend on Jack. If he ever cast that wicked grin her way, could she possibly resist him?                                                                                                       Who can Evie trust?                                                                                                                                                As Jack and Evie race to find the source of her visions, they meet others who have gotten the same call. An ancient prophesy is being played out, and Evie is not the only one with special powers. A group of twenty-two teens has been chosen to reenact the ultimate battle between good and evil. But it’s not always clear who is on which side….

Here's a little snippet from POISON PRINCESS :)

“You’re not going in!”

In answer, he pulled his shirt over his head, revealing rigid planes of muscles. Yes, I’d caught glimpses of him shirtless before—but this was the first time I’d utterly lost my breath looking at him.

His face and his broad chest were still tanned, his eyes seeming to glow in the moonlight. That onyx rosary around his neck glinted with his movements.

He was stripping before my eyes, yet I couldn’t look away. I bit my bottom lip. 

Any minute I would turn my back. Any minute…

As he began to unbuckle his belt, his stomach muscles rippled.

I grew weak in the knees. Any minute—

When he reached his zipper, he cocked his head and met my gaze.

I was frozen, could do nothing but stare. He raised his eyebrows at me in challenge, his fingers inching his zipper down.

A second after I’d finally found the presence of mind to turn my back, I heard his belt buckle ping on the tile floor, the rustle of his dropped pants. Eyes wide, I snapped, “This is foolish, Jackson—“

In the space of a heartbeat, he’d snagged my pack off my back, looped an arm around my waist—and hauled us both into the pool.

Are you excited??? Here's the giveaway details!

Frost Blog tour and Giveaway

Today we have an excerpt to share with you as a part of the Frost blog tour! Kate Avery Ellison has shared an awesome scene with us. Also there is a giveaway for not one but 10 chances to win an ebook of Frost so make sure to fill out the rafflecopter form below.

Haven’t heard of Frost? Check out the synopsis!

In the icy, monster-plagued world of the Frost, one wrong move and a person could end up dead—and Lia Weaver knows this better than anyone. After monsters kill her parents, she must keep the family farm running despite the freezing cold and threat of monster attacks or risk losing her siblings to reassignment by the village Elders. With dangers on all sides and failure just one wrong step away, she can’t afford to let her emotions lead her astray. So when her sister finds a fugitive bleeding to death in the forest—a young stranger named Gabe—Lia surprises herself and does the unthinkable. She saves his life. Giving shelter to the fugitive could get her in trouble. The Elders have always described the advanced society of people beyond the Frost, the “Farthers,” as ruthless and cruel. But Lia is startled to find that Gabe is empathetic and intelligent…and handsome. She might even be falling in love with him. But time is running out. The monsters from the forest circle the farm at night. The village leader is starting to ask questions. Farther soldiers are searching for Gabe. Lia must locate a secret organization called the Thorns to help Gabe escape to safety, but every move she makes puts her in more danger. Is compassion—and love—worth the risk?

And on to the excerpt!

Frost Excerpt

“That idiot Adam Brewer is here,” Cole said. “Acting as if nothing is wrong.”

Ann avoided looking at me as she spoke. “We don’t know that his family is responsible for what happened to Lia’s parents. We don’t know what happened that day—”

“We know enough,” Cole interrupted. He scowled.

“Please,” I said. “I don’t really want to discuss it.”

“Greetings,” a low, smooth voice interjected into our conversation. I looked up quickly.

Adam Brewer.

Had he heard our words about him? My face flushed. My friends were frozen in quiet. Beside me, Cole’s eyes narrowed, and I saw his jaw twitch out of the corner of my eye.

But Adam was looking only at me. I straightened my shoulders. I would not cower under his gaze, even though it was wild and sharp as a hawk’s.

He was slender, with dark hair that fell into his eyes, and he wore a thick blue cloak as ragged as mine. We were both from farms outside the village walls. Like me, he knew the dangers of the forest because he experienced them firsthand.

Adam’s eyes cut to others and then back to mine. “I hope your farm has been free of Watchers lately?”

The word slid through the air, sharp as a knife blade. I sucked in a sharp breath. He was waiting for me to speak to him about the vicious creatures that prowled our forests at night as casually as we might speak of the weather.

I could just say it. No, I haven’t seen any Watchers. And I won’t be so foolish as to trust you to protect me from them, either. The words burned hot on my tongue, but I couldn’t spit them out.

My friends shuffled their feet, looking at him with thinly disguised hostility. Nothing had been proven, and there were no charges made against the family, but it was clear what everyone thought. And now here he was, bringing up that word—Watchers—like nothing was wrong.

Now here’s the excerpt....

Second Chances: Caden’s POV

I opened my eyes to see blurry black lines against a sky blue background looming over me. I don’t remember this…Had I been…asleep? That was impossible! After being conscious for seven hundred and forty-odd years, the very idea of time passing without me bearing witness was unthinkable. Yet, here I was now… Where was I?

I blinked several times. The blurry black lines sharpened into a spider web-like pattern against a glass dome - unspoiled, undamaged by time. This is new. Rolling my head to one side, I found beautiful, pristine brick walls and manicured gardens surrounding me; to the opposite side, silky blonde curls. Amelie, my sister. Wild emerald-green eyes told me she was disoriented as well. Slowly, I pulled my tall, lean body up - first to a sitting position and then to my feet. Every muscle screamed in protest, still not fully awake from whatever ordeal I had endured.

That was when I saw them. Bodies, sprawled throughout the atrium. So many of them. So many of my kind; all of them either unconscious or barely coherent.

“We’re here!” Amelie gasped beside me, also on her feet. “She did it!”

It clicked.

Exhilaration tore through me like a violent storm. With awe, I absorbed every detail long-since lost to us with renewed focus - the working light fixtures, the perfectly-shaped cobblestone paths, the polished silver car. These were not the signs of a world long-since void of humans, destroyed by war. These were the signs of a thriving world. A new world. A human world.

I slowly spun on my heels, drinking in this beautiful sight of which I never fathomed I’d see again. Everywhere I turned, hope flourished and possibilities exploded…

A single tall, sleek figure stood some distance away from me, her long corn silk blonde hair cascading over her shoulders, her startling chocolate brown eyes locked on my face. She stood with fists balled up against her lean thighs, her chest holding a lungs-worth of air. Fear and uncertainty stared back at me, her brow crooked questioningly.
Evangeline.

I couldn’t sense her blood! That sweet nectar coursing through millions of veins - that which made her human - was surely there but I couldn’t smell it! Nothing had changed from our time on Ratheus. But perhaps everything had changed! Were we immune to that unmanageable blood lust after being without human blood for so long? Yes. I felt the corners of my mouth crook into a smile. That would make this transition so much easier!
Evangeline saw me smile. Serenity washed over her face. She smiled back. I breathed a sigh of relief.

That was when my nostrils caught it - the first hints of intoxicating sweetness, tickling my senses. There was only one like it and it was impossible to ignore, impossible to forget, even after seven hundred years of being without. In another second, the full impact hit me, a microburst of desire, my entire body rippling with exhilaration, my vision tunnelling to one thing. One thing only. Nothing else mattered. My eyes began to burn. That meant the hideous veins were revealing themselves, pulsating.

She was so close…I took a rigid step forward. No! I mustn’t give in. I’ll lose control. I’ll lose myself. I took a deep breath, gritting my teeth, trying to restrain myself. But another tidal wave of desire hit me, even more powerful than the first, almost buckling my knees.

Just a taste…

A giant black muzzle blocked my view just as I heard Evangeline scream ,”No!” and then it disappeared along with her and that delicious sweet liquid flowing through her frail veins.

I know what you’re thinking “OH NO!” right? Well to find out what happens you’ll need to read the books and let us tell you they are awesome! Jaime read Asylum and it is incredible! So to enter the contest fill out this FORM and go to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Smashwords to get your free copy of Anathema!
