She has a super hot boyfriend, an awesome but very gay best-friend, and two real life Fairy friends.

Please check out this latest installment of the Ruby Blue Series and I promise, like a fairy unable to lie, that you will NOT be disappointed!
Don't Tell Cover Reveal by: Marcy Amare
I could be surrounded by a million people, but I would still feel alone. I smile on the outside, but inside I feel like I’m slowly dying. I cry out for help, but nobody sees me, at least not the real me. They see a facade, a mask that I put on to hide the pain.
I pretend that I’m normal, but really, what is normal? Maybe what I’m feeling is normal. The hurt, the disappointment, the loneliness… it could be all just be a part of life. Maybe I will never know what normal is.
I put on long sleeves and makeup to hide the bruises, but they only mask the outside. What happens when I can’t carry my burden alone any longer? What would happen if I told somebody the truth?
Don't Tell is a YA Contemporary Romance about love, forgiveness and hope. Coming Fall 2012.

Bride of Fae
A love more powerful than magic or time.
Beverly Bratton has a safe, mundane life. No drama. No magic. Since her parents died, she’s cared for her little sister Marion and worked at the Tragic Fall Inn. When a fairy’s charm sends Beverly a hundred years into the past–and into the path of a banished fairy prince–nothing will ever be mundane or safe again.
The regent of the Dumnos fae is turning the court from light to dark, and there's nothing the rightful king, Prince Dandelion, can do about it. The mystical coronation cup which he needs to become king has fallen into human hands. When he meets a human woman with access to the cup, everything changes. Beverly is fascinating as well as useful–but of course Dandelion doesn’t love her.
Love for a fairy is rare. Love with a human, impossible. But when Beverly and Dandelion are thrown together in a battle against both wyrd and fae, they learn that in Dumnos the impossible happens every day.

Terri Reid's Mary O'Reilly Series
|
||||||||||||||
A Fresh Start,
|
What do you do when you are shot in the line of duty and when you move towards the "light" the powers that be tell you that you can go back to your family but that things will be different? You can't imagine how things will be different but you agree and go back to your family only to find that you can now see ghosts. Well that is definitely different! Mary O'Reilly is not really sure what to do now that she can see ghosts but she knows she can't stay in Chicago because she is constantly bombarded with ghosts that claim to need her help. Moving to a small town and opening her own PI business for ghosts, she thought, was going to be an easy move. She soon finds herself engrossed with the ghosts of small town Illinois and falling for the new Chief of Police.
Book 1 is a wonderful start to a beautiful series from Terri Reid. I couldn't put the first book down and couldn't wait to start the second!
|
||||||||||||||
Laugh out loud tear jerk-er!,
|
Terri Reid does it again. Mary and Bradley are the perfect couple if
they would only let themselves try. Terri really begins to build the
characters of her series in this installment. You meet some key players
that will have you laughing out loud and shedding a few tears. The
cadence of Terri's writing will keep you mesmerized until the very end.
Another book that kept me up late into the night reading.
|
||||||||||||||
Loved but "Never Forgotten",
|
The third book in the Mary O'Reilly series and it just keeps getting
better and better. The characters keep growing and are so easy to fall
in love with. Some of the ghosts are so awesome you don't want them to
cross over but when they do you know that they are in better places.
Terri keeps you captivated from the first word until the very end! And
she leaves you wanting more!

||||||||||||||
Funny, quirky, and fabulous!,
|
Terri Reid doesn't write a bad book and this one is no different. A
continuation of her Mary O'Reilly series, Mary finds herself once again
the go between the ghosts of her small town and the sheriff looking for a
killer. As a ghost whisperer Mary is the perfect person to help solve
mysteries but when it comes to the attraction between the sheriff and
herself there is one too many ghosts between them. This is a wonderful
series full of vibrant characters, page turner mysteries, and life so
full of promise that you don't ever want the story to end. I hope that
Final Call is not the last of the Mary O'Reilly series!
|
||||||||||||||
Keeps Getting Better and Better,
|
Usually after the first three books in a series I get bored but this is
the fifth book in the Mary O'Reilly series and I can not wait for the

and they are loveable. Another winner from Terri Reid. It will keep you
captivated!

topples on her head? Terri Reid keeps you on the edge of your seat until
the very end! Are they going to be together or not? No, you can't leave
us hanging like that. Can't wait for the next book to see what happens!

this book we get to find out a little more about Mary's ghostly friend,
Mike. Did they really arrest the actual murderer or has the killer been
allowed to roam free all this time? And what about Mary's friends are
they finally going to bite the bullet and get married? They are such a
sweet older couple you just have to cheer for them because they just
make you laugh! I can't wait for book eight to come out! I haven't read
any Terri Reid in awhile and I am missing her!

minute and review some of the scenes and I think you will find it a
"Handy, Dandy" tool! Enjoy!

UNGUARDED Release Day Party
UnGuarded by Ashley Robertson
Guardian
angel Selene was so close to becoming an archangel—the supreme of all
beings—until she fell in love with Cole, a forbidden dark one. Once she
discovers her vampire lover has been kidnapped and the only way to save
him is by abandoning her number one priority—Caitlyn, her human
charge—there really is only one answer in Selene’s mind, even though
leaving Caitlyn unguarded will most likely cause Selene to fall from
grace.
But her choice to save Cole doesn’t come without a price…and now Selene is racing against time to not only save her dark lover, but find a way to keep Caitlyn alive as well.
With the help of a new vampire ally, Luke, Selene will push her diminishing angel abilities to the point where her very existence lies in the balance. Now threatened with the chance of becoming a fallen angel or even dying, Selene can only pray she’ll have enough time—and good grace—to save the ones she loves.
