Today’s Twit-Bits – 03-09-10

March 9, 2010 By Maryse 1 Comment

 Ok so I’m late with today’s post, but I am actually backtracking through the latest tweets while I watch Idol, and I’m picking out the goodies for you! Once I’m done this, i’m off to re-read Gentlemen Prefer Succubi…Yes, I liked it that much! By the way, review for “Succubi Like it Hot” on the way ;). Also very good!!

  • Yasmine Galenorn’s latest book cover for Harvest Hunting (Sisters of the Moon) is up on her website for all to see. Beautiful!
  • Jaci Burton’s Bound, Branded, & Brazen made it on Barnes and Noble’s and Borders Romance bestseller list last week. Congratulations!!
  • Marie-Claude Bourque’s book “Ancient Whispers” made Amazon’s best seller list! Congratulations to you too! (I met her at last years Romantic Times Convention, and she had won American Title V award for that very book!)
  • Juliana Stone’s book “His Darkest Hunger” is coming out on March 30th! Wow, my mom told me not to judge a book by it’s cover, but I think it’s okay to do so for paranormal right? Hot Stuff!! He’s a shapeshifter….
  • Alyson Noel saw her books at an airport and she left some of her bookmarks in them! LOL! Okay, so not really news, but next time I see booksmarks in a book, I’ll suspect an author’s been by…
  • Alyssa Day is pretty much writing as we speak… I find the writing process is so fascinating! Example: Ms. Day just “learned something horrifying” about her hero in this book. I wonder what?
  • Ann Aguirre is writing too! And she too, has learned some pretty interesting things about her hero…”This hero just told me he’s a theoretical physicist. How the HELL am I gonna write this? I hate you, brain.” and then another tweet “So. This hero is a huge, tormented physicist w/ long hair, tattoos and uber anguish over his mistakes. Sounds like girl-nip.” – Sounds like my type of guy. Brains and brawn…mmm mmm mmmmm
  • Ann Aguirre/Ava Gray published an excerpt of her upcoming book “Skin Tight” on her website (plus you can see the cover there too!). It’s coming out June 1st 2010.

Some yesterday tweets 😉

  • Leanna Renee Hieber was (is) working on Strangely Beautiful III (Alexi at age 16…should be interesting!)
  • Jeri Smith-Ready is back to working on “Shift” (her Shade sequel).

    

More to follow as I find more cool tweets…

Book Review – Gentlemen Prefer Succubi by Jill Myles

March 7, 2010 By Maryse 2 Comments

Gentlemen Prefer Succubi (The Succubus Diaries Book 1)
People…I have an announcement to make. There’s a new vampire in my life (and possibly my favorite). Yes, I know, I am fickle, but I just couldn’t choose before.  Well, this book made it easy for me 😉 Zane’s the man! He’s all bad boy, with some “good” that keeps peeping through. And those fallen angel wings of his…mmmm…yup, I’ve discovered that I especially like my paranormal men with a few “added” features. Horns, fangs, wings…it’s all good! read more

Jill Myles – Succubus Diaries Series Reading Order

March 7, 2010 By Maryse 4 Comments

Ok, so I had been enchanted with the cover of book #1 at my local Walmart for quite some time now…and WOW! This series is amazing. Funny, exciting, and HOT (I mean, it’s even built on a love triangle – how much better could it get?!)

Oh and the book covers….YES!!!!

An excerpt from the author’s website:

After a one-night stand with a fallen angel and a bite from a vampire, forgettable Jackie Brighton has been changed into a succubus.

The author says:

“This is a four-book series starring Jackie Brighton, a mortal woman turned succubus. This series is what I like to call light urban fantasy – an ongoing character in all four books, first-person POV, and filled with snark, sex, and adventure.” read more

Book Review – Kiss of a Demon King by Kresley Cole

March 5, 2010 By Maryse 2 Comments


Kiss of a Demon King
<——- Woooohooo *hot*! Book six in the series takes us on a journey through Rydstrom Woede’s struggle to get his crown back (he’s a Demon King…or was…), and the one woman who intends to derail his plans.

This story takes place at exactly the same time as Cadeon and Holly’s did. While those two travelled together to retrieve a special sword, Rydstrom was tricked and being held captive by a beautiful, but evil, witch (woops – excuse me…that should be “Sorceress”…they’re different… I don’t know… 🙄 ). read more

 Well today is a BIG book release day, so here are the latest tweets 😉

  • Happy Release day to Alyssa Day. Read an excerpt of Atlantis Redeemed (Warriors of Poseidon)
  • Mark Henry’s “Battle of the Network Zombies (Amanda Feral, Book 3)” is available as a free e-book! Kindle and Nook. Hey! What about for the Sony E-book? Poooor me…
  • Another Happy Release Day to Shiloh Walker for her book entitled “Broken” (I’m actually reading part one of that series right now, called “Fragile” (not paranormal, but good anyway!)
  • Chris Marie Green’s book, “Deep In the Woods (Vampire Babylon)“ was released today.
  • Jenna Black is hoping to finalize revisions today, on her 2nd Faeriewalker book entitled “Shadowspell”.
  • Moira Rogers gives us a “sneak peak snippet” to “A Safe Harbor”. She describes it as “…a Great-Depression-Era-Paranormal-Romance novella” – sounds cool to me!
  • Shiloh Walker also gives us another random snippet of Broken.
  • Richelle Mead provides a description and the first chapter for “Spirit Bound”.

    L.B. Dunbar's latest IS LIVE!! OLDER CHARACTERS!! In their 40s!! I think she's pregnant after a one night stand... 😉

    “…Recently separated and newly unemployed, Scarlett Russell is at a crossroads. With no other plan than visiting a friend in Vermont, the last thing she expects is a hunky, silver fox offering to buy her a drink.

    #amazonaffiliate #CommissionsEarned #bookrelease #onenightstandpregnancy

    Even less expected is when she raises that offer to “take me to bed, cowboy.” She just wants one night to forget everything gone wrong. Turns out once won’t be nearly enough...”

    I’m not sure yet which one I’ll choose, The Perfect Marriage looks good!

    I can't decide between that one or Adulting! Adulting might have actual romance in it! 😆
