Book Blitz + Giveaway: Arms of Anu



About the Book:

Blood of body, blood of soul,
Entwined for life, then unfolds;
If blood still runs when magic binds,
Soul is never too far to find.

In ARMS OF ANU, Lia and Kelven battle through a land of tyrants, war and magic.
Can Lia escape the foes who ensnare her?
Will Kelven’s love withstand the darkness taking root inside Lia?
Is freedom too high a crown to reach, or will they forever remain in the hollows?

Excerpt:
Lia Griene folded birch-white arms against her chest. Wynn stood beside her with his wrists and ankles shackled in chains. Lia winced at the fresh blood seeping from her cousin’s wounds. She might have just enough knitbone sewn in the hem of her cloak to set a poultice on them after they returned to the cart.

If we return.

Royal Sage Conall eyed them, his mouth dripping with jellied pork and wine. “I see your tempers have calmed since leaving Rockberg this morning. Amazing how rebels quiet under lock and key.”

Book Review: Throne of Glass


Title: Throne of Glass

Author: Sarah J Maas

Genre: fantasy

Review:

Sooo...I finally read Throne of Glass after hearing so much about it. My feelings about this book are very, very mixed. I've heard so much good stuff about it. I absolutely loved the plot, which goes a little something like this: Celaena is the best assassin in the world...unfortunately for her, she got betrayed and got sent to a labor camp to rot and die. But then she is given a shot at freedom when the king announces to host a tournament where sponsors will feature Champions to compete in Tests until there is one Champion left. When the Prince chooses to sponsor Celaena, she jumps at the chance to earn back freedom. And let the games begin!

Book Review: Dark Flame Rising


Title: Dark Flame Rising

Author: J. A. Pedersen

Genre: YA fantasy

Review:

Dark Flame Rising, written by J A Pedersen, is kind of like a modern fantasy book (urban fantasy?)  Keegan, the main character of the book, is quite the computer whiz so she's naturally surprised to find out her parents practiced the art of the Wisdom--a form of magic that involves working with the energy of the universe.  Keegan's parents died in a fire when she was young, so she has been raised by her grandmother (who happens to practice the art of fortune telling to make a living).  Throughout her entire life, she has moved around countless times--she stopped questioning her grandmother why they did so after not receiving any answers.  Oh, and one more thing about Keegan--she doesn't believe in magic. She's a sciencey kind of person.
