{COVER REVEAL} Darkness Watching by Emma Adams
Darkness
Watching, by Emma Adams
Genre: new-adult, urban-fantasy,
paranormal-romance
Publisher: Curiosity
Quills Press
Date
of Re-Release:
September 1st, 2014
Cover
Artist: Amy
Chitulescu (http://ameliethe.deviantart.com/)
Description:
Eighteen-year-old Ashlyn is one
interview away from her future when she first sees the demons. She thinks she’s
losing her mind, but the truth is far more frightening: she can see into the
Darkworld, the home of spirits - and the darkness is staring back.
Desperate to escape the demons,
Ash accepts a place at a university in the small town of Blackstone, in the
middle of nowhere - little knowing that it isn’t coincidence that led her there
but the pull of the Venantium, the sorcerers who maintain the barrier keeping
demons from crossing from the Darkworld into our own world.
All-night parties, new
friendships and a life without rules or limits are all part of the package of
student life - but demons still stalk Ash, and their interest in her has
attracted the attention of every sorcerer in the area. Ash is soon caught
between her new life and a group of other students with a connection to the
Darkworld, who could offer the answers she’s looking for. The demons want
something from her, and someone is determined to kill her before she can find
out what it is.
In a world where darkness lurks
beneath the surface, not everyone is what they appear to be…

About The
Author:
Emma Adams spent
her childhood creating imaginary worlds to compensate for a disappointingly
average reality, so it was probably inevitable that she ended up writing
fantasy and paranormal for young adults.
She was born in Birmingham, UK, which she fled at the first opportunity
to study English Literature at Lancaster University. In her three years at
Lancaster, she hiked up mountains, skydived in Australia, and endured a
traumatic episode involving a swarm of bees in the Costa Rican jungle. She also
wrote various novels and short stories. These included her first publication, a
rather bleak dystopian piece, and a disturbing story about a homicidal duck
(which she hopes will never see the light of day).
Now a reluctant graduate, she can usually be found in front of her
writing desk, creating weird and wonderful alternative worlds. Her debut
novel The Puppet Spell, published in January 2013 by Rowanvale
Books, is a fantasy tale for young adults and the young at heart, featuring
disappearing uncles, invisibility potions and chimeras.
Emma also writes dark and creepy supernatural novels for older teens and
adults. Her next book, Darkness Watching, is the first in the
upper-YA/New Adult Darkworld series, and was published in
October 2013 by Curiosity Quills Press.

{ARC Review} SOREN: The Angel and the Prizefighter by Louise Nicks
Book Title: Soren: The Angel and the Prizefighter
Author: Louise Nicks
Publishing Date: June 16, 2014
Source: author for honest review
Book Blurb
The world has never been an easy place for impoverished teen Beau Tolson, but from the moment her sick mother is given months to live, Beau’s life takes an extraordinary turn.
In order to buy the only drug that can now keep her beloved mother alive, 16 year old martial arts champion Beau resorts to illegal prize fighting at East London’s most notorious underworld lair.
But that’s only the beginning of her troubles.
When some of her closest friends start acting weird, and a mystifying new boy turns up outside the school gates, Beau is told a life changing secret... That not only are some of her friends angels, but that she is going to become an angel too.
It isn’t long before she finds herself torn between the divine and this world; between her responsibilities and the colossal destiny that awaits.
Little do any of them know that a sect of ex-angels have also come to Earth, planning on kidnapping Beau for the very same reasons the angels want her: to fulfill a prophecy that involves this world and theirs, and who will rule it all until the end of time.

WARNING: This book leaves off on a cliff hanger. But you knew it would, right?
SOREN: The Angel & the Prizefighter is a YA /NA paranormal, angel story. I think the author, Louise Nicks, nailed it with this book as I found it very attention-grabbing and unique with its explanations of wing variations, who is whom among the angels, and the hints of prophecy. She also hit the nail on the head in regards to how children behave and bullying. Our heroine, a martial arts fighter, is being bullied due to her lack of money. I loved how this was handled although I think the end result was a bit fantastical. Ideal, but fantastical.
The love interest and how the relationship develops is nice. It was frustrating to see how many are against them, but I loved that their close friends came around and supported them, including the standoffish Braille.
I look forward to reading about each character as this series continues on. I'm being general because I don't want to let on what happens in the end, but there is a lot of movement that needs to happen. As as these movements occur, I'd like to learn more about the team of friends put together, Argo to get his head out of his feathered behind, and watch as the powers that be find their own!

Hi! Thanks for dropping in...
You want to know more about me? Well, let's see...
I am just an average twenty-something following my dreams. I have a full time "day job" and by night I am author. I guess you could say that writing is like my super power (I always wanted one of those). I am the lover of wine, sushi, football and the ocean; that is when I am not wrapped up in the literary world.
Please feel free to contact me to chat about my writing, books you think I'd like or just to shoot the, well you know.
