Pub. Date: June 22, 2021

My name is Grace, not "Kyle's little sister!"

Having a good-looking, friendly, outgoing older brother sucks—especially when you're the total opposite, someone who likes staying home and playing video games. Your parents like him better (even if they deny it!), and everyone calls you "Kyle's little sister" while looking disappointed that you're not more like him. I was really hoping I'd get to go to a different middle school, but no such luck. At least I have my friends...until he finds a way to ruin that, too...! Argh! What do I have to do to get out of his shadow?!


Guest Post:

What are some of your favorite video games?

I love all the Nintendo titles, but The Legend of Zelda is the best. I didn’t get to play all of the Zelda titles, but I think many people would agree with me that Breath of the Wild is the only one that can be considered the best. I love indie games too. Steam has been a life saver. I get to play some PC games…even though a few of them don’t work on my computer.

Blog Tour- THE SIREN JEWEL by @KarriRoberts16 With An Excerpt & #Giveaway! @RockstarBkTours


I am thrilled to be hosting a spot on the THE SIREN JEWEL by Karri Roberts Blog Tour hosted by Rockstar Book Tours. Check out my post and make sure to enter the giveaway! 

 

About The Book:

Title: THE SIREN JEWEL: Spellbound Prison Saga

Author: Karri Roberts

Pub. Date: June 14, 2021

Publisher: Wicked Tales Press

Formats: Paperback, eBook

Pages: 161

Read for FREE With A Kindle Unlimited Membership!

Discovering I was a witch was my new beginning…

being locked away for it may be my end.

Will my father’s lies cost me my life?

Imprisoned for the ultimate crime, use of forbidden magic, should earn me some respect at Spellbound Prison, but when I refuse to join the Blood Coven no amount of street cred can save me from their wrath. Their reach extends far past the inmates, possibly all the way to the Warden himself.

I don’t stand a chance alone, but trusting people is not my strong suite at the moment.

Discovering my true heritage brings dangers of its own…

My powers can no longer be contained with binding spells. I can’t control them and my enemies know more about my magic than I do.

Could the family pendant that hangs from my neck be the key to everything?

Learning to control my powers will take some getting used to.

Being imprisoned with the worst criminals in the magical community will take survival skills.

You’ll love this gripping tale full of magic, mayhem, and mermaids because Jewels’ fight for survival and the truth will keep you on the edge of your seat. 

 

Excerpt:

I leaned against his chest, listening to his rapid heartbeat. I breathed in his musky scent, an addicting aroma of fig and sandalwood. We sat there wrapped in each other’s arms until I felt myself start to drift off to sleep.

“Hey, none of that now. We better get back before they notice we are gone. Magic like that is draining. You need to rest.”

He pulled me to my feet and led me back up the stairs and out the red door. We walked down the hall hand in hand, not a guard in sight. As we rounded the corner to my cellblock an alarm sounded, followed by the warden’s voice over the intercom.

“Return to your cells immediately for a head count. Those outside of their cells in five minutes will be dealt with using lethal force. Return to your cells now.”

Brendan’s jaw clenched. He grabbed my cheeks between his palms, kissing me hard on the mouth. I wrapped my arms around his neck, searching for that feeling from before. I reached it just as his lips parted from mine and his fingers caressed my cheeks. My body craved his again and I never wanted him to leave.

“Get to your cell.” The shine in his eyes was gone and a dull sadness was all that was left. “Stay safe, Newbie.” He turned on his heels and sprinted down the hall, disappearing around a corner before I could say goodbye. A splash followed by dampness on my leg dragged me from my trance. I looked down and my eyes landed on Bree peeking out from the water. Only the top half of her face and head were visible. She bobbed up and down in the dark, stone trench, her eyes wide with fright. She lifted her head completely out of the water and locked eyes with me.

“Jewels, I think the secrets have escaped,” she whispered.

“What secrets, Bree?”

“All of them.” Footsteps thundered down the hall as inmates barreled into their cells and Bree disappeared beneath the water.

Splintered Souls excerpt:

Loud honking wrenched me from my own personal utopia, and I shuffled to the dirty window to peek out. The sun had slipped below the horizon, and the streetlights were coming on, but the two men and their truck had pulled into the driveway and were already unloading our stuff. “Impressive.” I used the sleeve of my sweatshirt to wipe away some of the thick grime coating the window. That’s when I noticed the guy leaning against the lamppost across the street. He couldn’t have been much older than me—dressed all in black, from his leather jacket to his Doc Martens, with artfully disheveled dark, wavy hair and a sexy crooked smile.

A warm prickle started at the base of my skull and worked its way down my spine. I cupped my hands against the glass to peer down at him. It had to have been too dark in my room for him to see me, but I could have sworn his eyes locked with mine. I almost wanted to wait for the sun to come up to see if he’d catch fire… or sparkle. The guy was that hot.

“What are you doing in my room?”

I squealed and spun around to face the wrath of my brother. His blue eyes narrowed—the same sapphire-blue eyes as Dad’s—and his stick arms crossed angrily over his loose-fitting Orioles jersey, the signed Cal Ripken jersey Dad gave him, if I wasn’t mistaken. The thing hung on him like a tarp, but he rarely took it off these days. If he hadn’t scared the life out of me, I would have found his fury hilarious. “Sorry, peanut. Mom said I could have it.”

“Josh… stop bothering your sister, and come get your boxes.” Mom’s voice carried up the three flights of stairs.

“I will get my revenge.” With one last death glare in my direction, he spun on his heels, grumbling to himself as he stomped out of my room and down the stairs.

As soon as I was sure he wasn’t coming back, I whirled to the window and the mysterious guy below. But he was gone.

 

About Erica Lucke Dean:

After walking away from her career as a business banker to pursue writing full-time, Erica moved from the hustle and bustle of the big city to a small tourist town in the North Georgia Mountains where she lives in a 90-year-old haunted farmhouse with her workaholic husband, her 180lb lap dog, and at least one ghost.

When she’s not busy writing or tending to her collection of crazy chickens, diabolical ducks, and a quintet of piglets, hell bent on having her for dinner, she’s either reading bad fan fiction or singing karaoke in the local pub. Much like the characters in her books, Erica is a magnet for disaster, and has been known to trip on air while walking across flat surfaces.

How she’s managed to survive this long is one of life’s great mysteries.

You can find out more about Erica, in addition to her humorous blog posts and disasters, on her website.

Mountain of Flame excerpt from Chapter Two

Anna glanced at one of the young ladies whose eyes followed Zac’s every move through the water. The girl caught Anna’s gaze and twitched her eyebrows up in challenge.

Game on, she seemed to say. Anna’s heart panged. There was no game. No court drama. She was here to experience new things, nothing more, and she’d loved every minute so far. Earlier that week, she’d skimmed across the swelling waves, leaning out over the rushing water, hanging onto Zac’s tiny sailboat tipped nearly on its side. Zac had whooped his approval with dolphins jumping and squeaking next to her. She’d savored the cool water and bright sun. Later the rhythmic surf had lulled her to sleep on the warm sand. Cool nights were filled with bonfires and sipping sweet drinks Zac mixed up with juice and some kind of bubbly wine he claimed was a Puledor specialty. He must think Sunderland was so boring.

Zac trotted up the slope behind her. She’d worn a shirt over her swimwear most of the time, but now her scars were in full view. When their eyes met, he flushed. “Has someone hurt you?” he whispered.

“It was a long time ago.”

He didn’t know her story. Anna’s father wanted it kept quiet. If Zac’s father knew, he’d not be keen on a match with a former slave girl. One saved by a man she’d left to pick up the pieces of his kingdom, while she was here, without a care in the world, experiencing beauty and adventure.

You left him. You left him. You left him.

“I’m sorry.” Zac’s brow furrowed. He was trying his best to be the perfect host. She shouldn’t be rude.

“I don’t even think about it anymore.” Anna smiled, and he relaxed. My other scars aren’t so visible.

“Let’s go.” He took her hand and tugged her the rest of the way up the hill at a jog.

Anna peeked at Zac. She had to admit, he was exhilarating. It was easy to let him drive darker thoughts from her mind. His pace quickened as they raced to the cliff’s edge and plunged off together. She screamed all the way down. The rush of danger made her feel alive. Zac was right. It was just what she needed.
