The Veil Blog Tour


theveil_tourbug


THE VEIL social share
Seven years ago, the Veil that separates us from what lies beyond was torn apart, and New Orleans was engulfed in a supernatural war. Now, those with paranormal powers have been confined in a walled community that humans call the District. Those who live there call it Devil’s Isle.
Claire Connolly is a good girl with a dangerous secret: she’s a Sensitive, a human endowed with magic that seeped through the Veil. Claire knows that revealing her skills would mean being confined to Devil’s Isle. Unfortunately, hiding her power has left her untrained and unfocused…
Liam Quinn knows from experience that magic makes monsters of the weak, and he has no time for a Sensitive with no control of her own strength. But when he sees Claire using her powers to save a human under attack — in full view of the French Quarter — Liam decides to bring her to Devil’s Isle and the teacher she needs—even though getting her out of his way isn’t the same as keeping her out of his head.
As more and more Sensitives fall prey to their magic, and unleash their hunger on the city, Claire and Liam must work together to save New Orleans, or else the city will burn…

Review is yet to come . . .
I'd just finished the book and after a long day of traveling, I couldn't force out a review without having the time to really digest the whole book while I wrote the review. 
 
On a Side note: The Veil had a distinct and different theme from what I'd normally read and while I had been meaning to start the Chicagoland Vampires also by Chloe Neill I hadn't yet. The Veil was set in New Orleans and the way Chloe paid close attention to locations of the city, made me felt like I was in the City.

Iron Pendulum Blog Tour: Character Playlist + Excerpt


Welcome to SassyCat's Books Review, today I'm participating in Megan Curd Iron Pendulum Blog Tour and today I asked for her Character Playlist. Since Avery is the main character, below is her playlist! Then if you follow down, there's an excerpt of Iron Pendulum,. Enjoy!


AVERY’S PLAYLIST:

Rusted Wheel – Silversun Pickups
Invincible – Muse
No Air – Jordin Sparks [I remember Megan saying something about while writing to this song, someone get's their heart broken]
Everybody’s Watching Me – The Neighbourhood
Monster – Imagine Dragons
Excuse Me Mr. – Ben Harper
Dark Doo Wop – MS MR
Cracks (Flux Pavilion Remix) – Bell Humble

Days are Forgotten - Kasabian
Elastic Heart – Sia
Goodbye, Apathy - OneRepublic
Radioactive – Imagine Dragons [Of course Radioactive has to be on there! She haven't stopped listening to their music since her upon discovery of the band!]

Excerpt 
Her huff echoed in our headsets, and I was glad she couldn’t see my smile.
“Avery, don’t act like I don’t know you’re smiling behind that mask.”
I put my hands up in submission. Alice knew everything about me.
Jaxon took the map. “Let’s go left.” He turned and walked away like he expected us to follow. Which we did.
I was thankful for the mask, because it dulled the stench of refuse floating along the shallow water in the tunnel. Rats scurried along the waterline, our lights sending them into a frenzy. Each step caused the water to slosh and echo through the tunnel, giving our position away.
“We should try to stay out of the water,” I said into the mic, hoping someone would agree with me before Jaxon could argue.
No dice.
Jaxon touched his earpiece and spoke. “Why? Are you afraid of your toes pruning in the water?”
“It’s not that.”
“Contrary to legend, there are no alligators in the sewer.”
“That you know of,” Alice quipped.
Deep down, Alice liked Jaxon. She just enjoyed making him squirm. And the truth was, I enjoyed watching it happen.
“That I know of.” Jaxon admitted. “But I will take one for the team and wrestle the beast into submission if it floats down our tunnel. Then I expect minstrels to sing of my heroics in future years. You can be the minstrel, Alice. I bet you’d look great with a lyre and kilt-y getup.”
Alice shook her head. “If anyone would look good in a skirt, it’s you, chicken legs.”
“Oh, please, you know you wish you could look as good as me in a skirt. Have you seen your calves?”
Everyone laughed and Alice huffed. Jaxon took the lead and sloshed through the water, making more of a ruckus than necessary.
But then he went still. As still as a dog that had caught a scent on a hunt.
Alice’s whisper came through the earpiece. “Jax, what did you hear?”
I watched as the muscles in Jaxon’s back tensed and his shoulders squared. I heard the minor intake of breath and wondered if everyone else knew what it meant.
He was afraid.

About Iron Pendulum and about Megan Curd herself!

Iron Pendulum (Periodic, #2) A month ago, Avery thought the world ended outside Dome Four. Thought she was one of the few of her kind. Thought the war that brought the human race to the brink of extinction was over.

But a month can change everything.

After fighting to escape a tyranny she didn't even know existed, Avery has had to come to grips with all the secrets she's uncovered. But more secrets continue to come to light, revealing how little of her world she truly knew. When evidence starts to show that Dome Four might be under siege, Avery knows what she must do.

Returning to the dome she longed to escape is a challenge for Avery, but now she knows there’s corruption lurking in the shadows. A massive steam shortage leaves half the dome without power, and people are falling ill. Dying.

And they’re blaming Avery.

A month can change everything. One more month could kill everyone. The clock is ticking.

Expected publication: August 28th 2014

So I Married a Werewolf Blog Tour: Character Interview



 So I Married A Werewolf (Seattle Wolf Pack #3) By Kristin Miller
So I Married a Werewolf (Seattle Wolf Pack, #3)

Carter Griffin, enforcing officer for the Seattle Wolf Pack, has a problem. He’s been offered the promotion of his dreams…if he can find a wife to prove he’s over his playboy ways. But Carter’s already walked the matrimonial road and bought the stinkin’ T-shirt. Besides, a werewolf only gets one fated mate. Been there, done that.
All werewolf dog trainer Faith Hamilton wants to do is earn enough green stuff to put her younger brother through college. Okay, okay, so she also totally wants Carter, her sexy next-door neighbor, to look at her as more than a friend. It’s too bad size 12 and plain isn’t his type. At all.
The two friends strike a deal to help one another out. They must face a variety of challenges from a psycho ex-girlfriend to a Yorkie with a shoe fetish...and that pesky problem of only having one-fated mate in a lifetime. Will a relationship ruin their friendship…or spark a love neither anticipated?
Release July 28th 2014

Character Interview with Carter & Faith 


Carter, how long have you been in the policing business? And are you happy where you stand now in the ranks?

Carter: I’ve worked the streets as an enforcer for the last ten years. On the outside looking in, some may think that’s not very long. But when you’re tracking and bringing in rogue wolves, the days are long and the nights are longer. Most enforcers don’t last half that.

Faith: He’s being humble here. (She nudges him with her shoulder.) The enforcer turnover rate is huge. The job has crazy hours and the guys work year-round. I’m so proud of his promotion.

Carter: (Kisses her on the cheek.) Thanks, babe. I’m happy with where I am, in every aspect of my life. She’s my dream come true, though.

Faith: Awww. Isn’t he the sweetest? Don’t worry, honey. (She pats his hand as he sets it in her lap.) I won’t tell your buds how sensitive you are.

Carter: Only with you, Faith.

Faith, it appears that we don't know you very much aside from training dogs, have a dog blog. Tell us one thing we don't know about you . . . Anything.

Carter: She’s the most loyal person you’ll ever meet.

Faith: (She smiles.)

Carter: And she’s an amazing cook. Really.

Faith: Oh yeah, I believe you now that you added “really” to the end of that. (She winks, and shakes her head.) I burn things time to time, but my best recipes come from trial and error. I’m also a huge Supernatural fan.
Carter: (Scrubs his hand over his face.) Oh geez, here we go. Don’t get her started talking about those Winchester brothers.

Faith: (Blushes.) Carter has my heart…but if something ever happened to him, Dean’s mine.


Carter, I know this might be a touchy subject but what happen to your first mate? We know Jameson found 3(4?) luminary every decade or so and each one of them, he had a bond with them.

Faith: (Smiles sweetly and holds Carter’s hand.) He won’t talk much about the bond he had with his first wife, because I think he assumes it’ll bother me. I’m stronger than he thinks.

Carter: I know you’re strong. The toughest woman I’ve met, actually. The thing is, it’s difficult for me to talk about because it’s a failure on my part.

Faith: (Rolls her eyes.) You didn’t fail.

Carter: Hell I didn’t. When a wife tells her husband that she isn’t interested in having a relationship with him anymore, he should try his hardest to improve himself. He should want to improve himself, for her, or for his own mind. I didn’t. I buried myself in my work, and drove her further away. At least I learned what not to do next time. I won’t let Faith down, and I won’t let our love fade.

Faith: You’re a good man, Carter.

(He looks at her lovingly. She leans in and kisses him, and the light in the room seems to zone on them.)

Faith, how is your brother doing at Yale? Are you concern about him being off on his own considering he's a werewolf?

Faith: (A soft glow warms her cheeks.) Dawson’s staying out too late, eating Ramen five times a week, scheduling his classes for afternoons and evenings—

Carter: What she means is, Dawson’s loving college life. We’re not concerned about him being a werewolf on his own.

Faith: There’s a pack close to school that’s taken him in.

Carter: We’ve been in hiding for so long, it’s normal for us to keep that side private. It’s like those Andes mints Faith likes to sneak in the middle of the night.

Faith: (Sucks in a short breath and glares.)

Carter: She’s been sneaking those before bed for so long, I don’t even think she knows how stealthy she is. She’s like the Andes Ninja. (Laughs into a cough.) I can see her now, tiptoeing to the fridge, thinking I can’t see her and—

Faith: Carter! (She smacks him playfully in the chest.) Don’t make me tell them about your secret stash of weapons. It’s like you’ve got a gun for every outfit!

Carter: Okay, okay. Next question.

Questions for both of you,
How many children do you want?

Carter: As many as she’ll give me.

Faith: Awe, he says that now, but we’ll see when we have a little one running around. I’d love to have two healthy babies to add to the wolf pack.

Carter: Three?

Faith: Depends on if we have boys or girls. I can’t imagine having three Carter Juniors running around.

Carter: I can. (He nods, grinning triumphantly.)

Which house did you guys move into?

Faith: His. Once I moved into his place and Tracy moved into mine, we realized that was a better fit for us. The forest is right outside his door, and we’ve made some memories there.

Carter: Great memories there. (His eyebrows jump up and down as he gazes at her.) Simply talking about it makes me want to take another walk down memory lane.

And how is Humperdinck? Is he behaving well or did he slipped into his old ways.

Faith: He’s such an amazing little guy. He took to his training and hasn’t had any mounting issues since…well, it’s been months, which is wonderful for him! He’s warm and loving, and sleeps at the foot of the bed like a good boy.

Carter: (Shakes his head.) Don’t let her fool you. That dog sleeps wherever it wants, most days right beside her. He’s madly in love.

Faith: Would take one canine to know another, sweetheart.

Carter: (He lifts her hand and kisses the back.) I’m so in love with you, I’d sleep wherever you tell me to.

Faith: Beside me, Carter. Always beside me.


Aren't they just adorable? Thank you Carter and Faith for answering my questions and Faith best of luck with the future little ones.
