Giveaway + Excerpt: WitchCraft by Emma Mills



The Blurb
Witchcraft (Witchblood, #2)

Jess is no ordinary vampire. Protected by the Manchester vampire clan, and initiated by her family’s east coast American coven, she is sought after by every dark witch and warring vampire faction. Jess must fight if she wants to keep hold of her friends, her sanity and finally her existence.

As the dead bodies of human girls begin to stack up, and her recently accepted vampire boyfriend, Daniel, finds himself in prison, Jess goes on a crazy, forbidden trip to London, racing against time to save an old friend and solve the mystery behind Daniel’s incarceration. In battling new enemies and finding new friends, Jess’s confidence finds room to grow, but who will she lose along the way?
A quiet knock sounded at her door, which seconds later swung open to reveal a pretty young nurse, her light brown hair swinging in a cute ponytail.








 EXCERPT

A quiet knock sounded at her door, which seconds later swung open to reveal a pretty young nurse, her light brown hair swinging in a cute ponytail.
Hi! I thought I heard you stir. How are you, Alex?’ she asked walking over to the bed. Alex looked at the nurse. There was something familiar about her, and yet she didn’t think this was a nurse she had seen at all over the past few days. She was certain she would recognise her if she had been, because she had beautiful, striking violet contact lenses in.

Yes, it was just another nightmare. I’m okay now, thanks,’ Alex said.

Oh good, because that makes my job all the more fun,’ the nurse said, closing the door quietly behind her and suddenly appearing at Alex’s side so unbelievably fast, it made her jump.

A memory was beginning to surface, a memory of one of the creatures from her nightmares, a creature with violet eyes. Alex shrank back into her bed and opened her mouth to scream, but a cold hand was clamped down upon it, nails digging into her cheeks.

Shhhhhhhhh, it will all be over soon,’ said the nurse with the violet eyes, as she bent over Alex and bit hard into her neck. Several minutes later the nurse stood up, wiped her mouth, and smiled down at the still, cold girl who would never have another nightmare again, and left the room.



Author Bio: Author Bio

  Hi I'm Emma. I am happily married with two lovely children. I have always loved reading and writing and published my first novel WitchBlood in Jan 2012 with Witchcraft following in June and WitchLove due in Feb 2013. After acquiring an obsessive love of supernatural teen novels...yes I'm a Twilight fan...I decided to write my own supernatural story based here in Manchester in the UK, near where I live and grew up. It's currently dark, windy, cold and very very wet... and easy to get inspiration.

Book Review + Random Giveaway: Clobbered by Camembert by Avery Aames

Clobbered by Camembert (A Cheese Shop Mystery #3)
Cheese store owner Charlotte Bessette is setting up for the town's Winter Wonderland fair. Then, when an old friend is found dead in the cottage of Charlotte's assistant Rebecca, a suspicion falls on Rebecca's boyfriend, a honeybee farmer. While the town buzzes with gossip, can Charlotte catch the culprit without getting stung herself?

  • Mass Market Paperback: 336 pages
  • Publisher: Berkley; Original edition (February 7, 2012)
  • Language: English
  • ISBN-10: 042524587X
  • ISBN-13: 978-0425245873
 I think this a good mystery, I actually didn’t really guessed right who the murderer is, not until the same time Charlotte realized who’s the murder. But unfortunately, this was more on conflicting love story about a denying heroine, a remorseful ex and the boyfriend who has lots of secrets to spill.

The writing is good, the story flowed smoothly, although I expect more action and plot development and not talking and internal conflict. There are the interesting suspects, tension, conflicts, a vivid description of winter, fair and county life.

I love so much that there are recipes and descriptions of cheeses in the book. It makes me hungry for food and revelations all the more..:D I liked the idea and it’s refreshing to have a book set up in a county, much more a county fair with cheese as the main theme.

I believe the author has great potential, this book isn’t perfect, but it also has good attributes. CLOBBERED IN CAMBERT is a fast, clean read, has a good mystery coupled with love conflicts, drama, intrigue and murder. Would love to read more mystery from this author.

Flukes
THIS IS A NEW ADULT NOVEL AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH. SOME CONTENT MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR YOUNG READERS.

Meena has a secret guarded closely by her family—a secret as dangerous as the sea, and buried just as deep. When court appointed community service workers are assigned to Flukes, the family-owned animal sanctuary, everyone is on high alert. It doesn’t help that Meena finds herself attracted to sexy-as-sin Blake Weathering, one of the new workers. If he wasn’t so distracting, she might be able to land Flukes a much-needed cruise line contract.

Blake Weathering, the first in his family to attend public school, has developed a tough image. Unfortunately it lands him in trouble. Now banned from his high school graduation ceremony, getting his diploma is dependent upon a community service gig cleaning fish crap. No diploma, no trust fund fortune—and no way to escape his overbearing father. The last thing he needs is the distraction of a mysterious girl with teal eyes who pulls at his heart strings.

When Blake discovers Meena’s secret, they are both thrown into a desperate search for information about her past. Two worlds pull them in opposite directions, and they will have to fight to hold onto all that really matters.
