[Dream Cast & Playlist + Giveaway] Heartless by Vanessa Marie

Heartless Banner


Heartless (Chasing Hearts, #1)Heartless
by 
All the other girls had a normal childhood, full of Girl Scouts and sleepovers, but Charlie Evans wasn't so lucky. Her life had been spent in and out the Cardiac Care Unit and moving across the country with her military father.

So when Charlie finds out she's moving back to her home town, she hopes things will finally be different. She has learned the hard way not to let anyone in. People always let her down, and it wasn’t easy to trust anyone new. That was until Sam Greyson walks into her life and threatens to knock down every wall she’d ever built to protect herself. 

With Sam in the picture, Charlie decides to take one last shot and open herself up. With Sam’s help, she is finally able to let someone see the real, bruised and damaged girl inside. That is until she is forced to make a decision between her own happiness and ruining Sam’s life to be with him. If giving him up meant he could have a normal life…She would do it, in a broken heartbeat.

TheStarCatcher.v4-FinalThe Star Catcher by Stephanie Keyes
Paperback, 436 pages
Release Date: November 10th 2013 | Publisher: Inkspell Publishing


Magick and destiny intertwine as he fights to save his kingdom and the goddess he loves.

Her kiss…the feel of her skin…the beat of her heart…For seventeen-year-old Kellen St. James, each memory is marred by a single sentence on a lone strip of paper.
Cali has been taken…

Armed with an amulet that channels the ultimate power of Faerie, Kellen searches for his love. However, control of the amulet’s energy comes with a price, and Kellen soon learns that Cali’s captor has plans for the stone. With the threat of the Star Catcher’s evil looming above Kellen and his kingdom, he’ll have to free the Heart of Faerie and break the curse the binds the Children of Danu to the darkness. But before that, he has to find his real father, the king. No pressure, right?

Kellen and Cali will battle bewitched armies and unknown foes as they fight to stay together. Will Kellen embrace his immortal destiny? Or will his world, and the man he is fated to become, be destroyed by The Star Catcher?

Featured Playlist Song

Kellen's best friend, Gabriel Stewart, was originally supposed to be a bit part. I almost didn't write him into the second book, The Fallen Stars. However, after catching a reader review on Goodreads, I recognized how much readers identified with Gabe and I couldn't leave him out. In The Star Catcher, I wanted to give him a love interest and thus Rowan's daughter, Singer, was born. The song I chose for them was Explosions by Ellie Goulding.
“I’m gonna kiss you, I think.” I am a total loser. Why do I always need to talk out loud about everything I do before I do it? She nodded, dropping her gaze before returning to meet my eyes. “That would be cool.” “I mean, I know you can be an immense pain in the ass and everything.” “Your window of opportunity is closing fast, Stewart.” Singer’s sarcastic voice did return, then. “If you’re gonna kiss me, I’d shut your yap and get on with it.” Sliding my hand behind her head, I leaned in and kissed her. I’d expected it to be awesome, the moment our lips touched. However, I don’t think I got that Singer’s kiss would set my chest on fire, like a good jar of salsa. I also didn’t know that when I kissed her, I would fall in love with her. I stared at her, unable to believe my own thoughts. Those feelings sorta snuck up on me like a pair of briefs that shrank in the dryer.

[Book Blitz + Playlist] Epiphany by Christina Jean Michaels

Epiphany
Christina Jean Michaels
“I had my first psychic dream when I was nine. Psychic implied power, and powerful wasn’t a word I’d use to describe myself. I couldn’t foretell the future or conjure visions at will, but I couldn’t think of a more fitting word to describe what I sometimes saw in my dreams.” 

For 23-year-old Mackenzie Hill, tossing her life down the garbage disposal is easy after a painful incident shatters her life. Her heart is bleeding, and moving to Watcher’s Point is a chance to start anew, only she isn’t prepared for the guy who walks out of her dreams and into the flesh. Literally . . . because she’s been dreaming about this sexy stranger for years. Mackenzie is even less prepared to face the dark nature of her dreams. They’ve turned disturbingly gruesome, full of blood and murder, and when they begin to coincide with the media’s headlines, she and Aidan realize her visions might be the key to stopping a madman from killing again.

Only Aidan has painful secrets of his own, and perhaps the biggest danger of all is falling for him.


About the Author
Christina Jean Michaels was born in Paradise, California, but she has found the true home of her heart in Eugene, Oregon where she finds plenty of inspiration for storytelling.

When she was young, her mother said she hated words. Now she can't imagine not writing. She became an avid reader when she was thirteen and discovered the world of Sweet Valley High. About a year later she realized she could play God and write about her own characters. She has been writing in some form ever since.

She lives with her husband and their four children—three rambunctious UFC/wrestling-loving boys and one girl who steals everyone’s attention.
