Pre-order today: AMAZON / NOOK / iBOOKS

From best-selling author Shannon A. Thompson comes an exciting new duology in the Bad Bloods universe.

Fourteen-year-old Violet has been called many things: a bad blood, a survivor, an immortal…now she has a new name—citizen. But adjusting to a lawful life is not easy, especially when she must live under the rule of the same officers who justified the killings of her flock only eight months earlier.

Segregation of bad bloods and humans is still in effect, and rebellious Violet steps into a school where she is not allowed. When the police get involved, things deteriorate quickly, sparking a new revolution at the wall separating the Highlands from the outskirts.

That's when Caleb steps in. He might appear to be an average sixteen-year-old bad blood, but he has secrets, and Violet is determined to figure them out. Caleb knows who's attacking the wall and why, but his true identity remains a mystery—and how he relates to Violet could shake the threatened city to its very core.

Together or not, a storm will form, a rally will start, and shocking truths will be revealed.

Sixteen-year-old Caleb has been called many things: a patient, a musician, even a prostitute…now he has a new name—son. After his identity is uncovered, Caleb bands together with the family he once rejected in order to save the city of Vendona. But it won't be easy. Enemies wait around every corner—and so do harsh realities. With Violet and Kuthun by his side though, nothing seems impossible. As Vendona sits on the verge of an economic collapse and a massive hurricane threatens the city, Violet and Caleb must show its citizens how to overcome decades of hostility and division to save themselves.

Standing or not, a sea will rage, a wall may fall, and all will depend on immortal pain and sacrifice.

Seventeen-year-old Serena isn’t human. She is a bad blood, and in the city of Vendona, bad bloods are executed. In the last moments before she faces imminent death, a prison guard aids her escape and sparks a revolt. Back on the streets determined to destroy her kind, Serena is spared by a fellow bad blood named Daniel. His past tragedies are as equally mysterious as her connection to them.

Unbeknownst to the two, this connection is the key to winning the election for bad bloods’ rights to be seen as human again. But Serena is the only one who can secure Vendona’s vote. Now, Daniel must unite with her before all hope is lost and bad bloods are eradicated, even if it means exposing secrets worse than death itself. United or not, a city will fight, rain will fall, and all will be threatened by star-crossed love and political corruption.

REVIEW: 13 Ways to Midnight by Rue Volley

13 Ways to Midnight

The Midnight Saga #1

Rue Volley

You'll never miss the sunlight until it's gone. 

Sixteen-year-old Echo Navarri, daughter of world-famous archaeologists, Alice and Peter Navarri, had spent her life traveling from one expedition to the next as her parents unearthed lost civilizations. 

On their thirteenth dig, Midnight, Echo's twin sister, disappears without a trace. This prompts a year-long search that leaves the family nearly broken. 

In an attempt to find some closure they reluctantly host a mock funeral for Midnight without ever recovering her remains. 

Nearing the one year anniversary of Midnight's assumed death, Echo is sent to live with her eccentric Aunt Luna who is the caretaker of the centuries old Navarri Estate in Port Royal, Maine. 

Echo attempts to settle into her new life in Port Royal, but soon finds that she's destined for adventure as the mystery of her families history, the sunless town, and it's oddly intriguing people teeter on the supernatural.

So mystical, magical, mysterious and just plain phenomenal!!! I actually finished this story within 24 hours. This book had so many feelers within its pages. I never knew when I was going to laugh, cry, or smile as I turned each fantastic page. I was so enchanted by this story and I could literally feel every single feeling that was happening with the character, Echo, and I could feel her emotions seep out of the pages, the more I read. Echo was such as amazing character and had absolutely no clue what was going on around her. Thorn was also an incredible character and so very complex. I loved how the author would keep me in suspense and in the dark until the moment was right to allow me to know what the character knew and kept me guessing from beginning to end. So many secrets and so many awesome twists and turns within the pages of this book made it such a remarkable read. This is by far my favorite read that this author has brought forth yet. I am so ready to read more of Echo and Thorn and see where exactly this author will take me....GIVE ME MORE!!

REVIEW: November Snow by Shannon A. Thompson

November Snow

Bad Bloods 2

Shannon A. Thompson

When Daniel and Serena unite, their accidental relationship becomes the catalyst for a twelve-year war to continue. Exposing the twisted past of a corrupt city, Daniel, Serena, and everyone they know will come together to fight. But Serena has another battle.

After a political rumor threatens their lives, Serena must leave her family and join the political front against her will. To survive apart, Daniel has to separate his love from his hatred and join forces with his worst memory to secure Vendona’s war. But very few of them will survive to see the last day. Bad blood or human, a city will burn, snow will fall, and all will be united by catastrophic secrets and irrevocable tragedy.

This book was even more enjoyable than the first book. I still loved the characters and the fact that I got to find out a bit more about some of them. I still felt as if I was part of the story and living through them during their sad and happy moments to their hopes and dreams. This story had quite the turn of events that I sure was not see coming until the Author was ready to reveal them. I always had suspicions, but they were always wrong. The Author has a way with words that she will have you believing one thing and then turn around and shock you another. These events were extremely shocking and I found myself in awe by them. What a way to end these two books. I bawled like a baby at the end of this book. I absolutely loved how the author ended it. I felt almost relieved at the end of this book for the characters, though some of it was a heartfelt tragedy. I highly recommend this story to all to read and enjoy!!

WENEEDDIVERSITY

How do you save a girl from a deadly fate when you don't know how she's going to die?....

Wow, I think this story is by far my favorite one yet! Crystal was yet again, an amazing character. She is getting  better with her abilities as the stories progress. I love how the author added some new twists to this story that I sure not expecting when I started reading. The author added a special twist to Sage and her mental problems. I really never saw this coming and I love to be surprised by an author's style of writing. I highly recommend this story, though I will admit to be ready for the feelers in this story.

REVIEW & PRE-ORDER: THE UNDOER by Melissa J. Cunningham

THE UNDOER

The Ransomed Souls Series Book 3

Melissa J. Cunningham

Does good always triumph over evil?

Wow, what an amazing story about Demons, Angels, Heaven, Hell, Earth, mortals, immortals, love, loss, hate, sadness, and sorrow. Every emotion you have ever had runs through the veins on this story and captured my heart and soul as I read through it. It was a wicked roller coaster ride that I was thrilled to have a had the opportunity to endure and one I won’t forget either.

The characters in the story are phenomenal and I love how this author brought real life into each fictional character. My favorite character, of course, was Dean. I loved him spunk and his will to live, plus I loved every twist and turn that this author took to make this character come to life and made me crave to know more about him and his “gift”.

I loved the love/hate relationship between Jag and Heidi and their tragic ending in which just tore my heart apart.

The Cazadors together made one heck of a remarkable team and I loved how, no matter what, they had each others backs.

This is an amazing story with an unforgettable plot and unique bunch of characters, and I highly recommend this magical and mystical story to all to enjoy for years to come. I give this awesome story my five book review.

READ BOOK ONE FREE

Do you believe in life after death? Guardian Angels? How about love at first sight? Read this story and you will for sure become a believer.

I absolutely loved this story, but first, there were two reasons why I decided to read this story. Reason one, its FREE on Amazon and everybody loves FREE, right? Reason two, its a Clean Teen Publishing author and I love everything CTP.

There were so many surprises in this book, which made this book resistible and extremely amazing. I love how the author broke up each chapter and made it focus on one character at a time. Usually, I don't like that kind of setup, but with this story, it just fit. The characters were so lovable and the plot was very well written. I loved the love/hate relationship between Brecken and Alisa. These two characters make this book an awesomely heartwarming story and I wish that real life could be this way too. This story had so many ups and downs to it, but it still drew me in and kept me reading. This is an incredible debut story and I highly recommend it to all to read. This book gets my five book star review.

READ BOOK TWO $2.99

Due to the fact that I loved reading the first book, I was dying to get my hands on this book......

And it was awesome!! I enjoyed every minute of it. There was so much edge of your seat twists and turns in this book, along with some shocking secrets. The author did a phenomenal job of allowing us to get to know the main characters some more and falling in love with their story. The characters were so awesome and the plot was strong and very well written. I loved how the characters showed us how much love could conquer no matter what got in the way. This is a great story and I highly recommend it!! I am very excited and anxious to see what the next great adventure will be by this author.

COVER REVEAL: A Long Way Home by Becky Hood Doughty

Clean Teen Publishing is excited to share the official cover reveal of A Long way home by Becky Doughty. This new book in the Fallout Series can be read as a stand alone or as part of the series. A Long Way Home releases May 23, 2015 and is available for pre-order today. Also, scroll down to find out more about the first 2 books in the series - One of which is FREE!!!

A LONG WAY HOME

On the run, Savannah Clark lives her life as a modern-day bohemian, hiding her identity behind her beaded scarves and swirling skirts. Marek and the Gypsies, a troupe of dancers and musicians, follow the Renaissance and Medieval Faire circuits, never staying in one place for very long. Her disguise, however, doesn't fool those who know and love her best, nor does it completely hide the evidence of how difficult living in fear can be. But an unexpected encounter with Jordan Ransome, her first love, tears open old wounds, and tragic news from home brings Savannah face to face with her worst fears. Will she run again, tethered to the lies she's come to believe about herself and those she left behind, or can she trust her heart enough to embrace the girl she once was as the woman she has become?

A LIGHT IN THE DARK

AMAZON / NOOK / iBOOKS / SMASHWORDS / GOODREADS

On stage, Tish Ransome sings about heartache and passion, betrayal, and about love gone wrong… but she knows very little about any of it in real life. The rockstar princess who swears like a pirate—literally—is loved and adored by family, friends, and fans alike, and her world is filled with good things, her future bright.

Behind the scenes, however, trouble is brewing. When Tom, her best friend and co-founder of the Marauders, tells her he's leaving the band after graduation, Tish must find a new wingman to step into Tom's hard-to-fill shoes. The moment she hears Sebastian Jeffries play, she knows he's the one.

Yet with Sebastian comes a taste of the things Tish only writes about, and she can't resist the lure of the tortured artist. Sebastian, likewise, is drawn to Tish's brilliance, but like a moth that hovers too close to the flames, is he killing himself just to be near her? Can Tish save Sebastian before it's too late, or will he pull her down into the darkness with him?

 

ALL THE WAY TO HEAVEN

By Becky Doughty

AMAZON / NOOK / KOBO / iBOOKS / SMASHWORDS / GOODREADS

Anica Tomlin, business major, has just learned that the man she’s been planning her future around, her Global Finance professor, already has a beautiful wife and family. Ani cashes in her graduation gift to herself a little early—a trip to Tuscany—but from the moment she boards the wrong train in Pisa, her plans for solitude and self-indulgence begin to unravel around her.

When a bicycle accident thrusts Ani into the skilled hands of the dashing Dr. Cosimo Lazzaro, she reluctantly accepts his invitation to recover in his family’s country villa, perched on a hilltop surrounded by the Lazzaro olive groves. But it’s been a black year for olive growers all over Italy, and generations of tradition are being put to the test like never before.

Ani is swept up in the drama of life in Tuscany, the convergence of old and new, and the passions that drive people to pursue the desires of their hearts. Just as Ani begins to get her feet under her again, an unexpected turn of events leaves her doubting the very existence of happily-ever-after, unless she can learn to trust the desires of her own heart.

Although All the Way to Heaven is a stand-alone novel, it is the first book in The Fallout Series, a collection of sweet contemporary romances that follow characters featured in the first book.
