Precipice, The Beginning

by Kevin J. Howard
Series: Precipice #1
Release date: 23rd November, 2012
Publisher: Outskirts Press
Pages: 482 (paperback edition)

Summary from Goodreads:

The End is only the Beginning....
It wasn't the first time Lieutenant Travis Daniels had been far from his wife and son. Leading an elite team on countless missions, dodging death at every turn-it was what he was trained to do. And returning to his family was always his driving force... but this time might be different. Imprisoned for an unsanctioned intrusion into a hot zone, Travis and his elite team took a deal to assist in the colonization of Mars to evade the death penalty. While stationed there, Travis' only source of sanity were the brief video conversations he was allowed with his family. When the last transmission received showed choppy images of the city in darkness and blurs of humanoid creatures running through the streets, Travis and his team must decide to either stay on Mars or find a way back to his family-unknowing of the hell that Earth has become.

This and That

“This or That”

by with Kevin J. Howard

- Paris or Venice: Very difficult, but as my wife hates pigeons, I will say Paris. Both cities are so beautiful and unique.
- Deodorant or Perfume: Deodorant, but with a pleasant smell.
- Winter or Summer: Winter. I love to write as snow falls on the trees in the backyard.
- Vampire Diaries or Twilight: I guess Twilight. To be honest I haven't seen either.
- Angels or Demons: Angels. An upcoming novel of mine, Closed Cell, is based on Michael the Archangel.
- Fall or Spring: Spring.
- Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter: This just isn't right, can't I pick both? :). Harry Potter I guess. Any novel that inspires so many children, teens, and adults to read is a winner.
- Ice Cream or Sorbet: Ice Cream, and my favorite is Gold Medal Ribbon.
- Coke or Pepsi: Pepsi
- Cabin in the woods or Condo on the Beach: I love the beach, but I am going to say a cabin in the woods. I love the woods.

ReVamped

by Ada Adams
Series: Angel Creek #1
Release date: 20th February, 2012
Publisher: Selfpub
Pages: 291 (paperback edition)

Summary from Goodreads:

A simple mission turned deadly.

Nineteen-year-old vampire Dawn has led a sheltered life within the confines of her father’s presidential headquarters. Upon being sent on a mission to revamp four goofy misfits into guardians of a peaceful little town of Angel Creek, Dawn believes that all her dreams have finally come true. What starts off as a simple task, turns into something unexpected, changing Dawn’s life forever and leading the action-loving, thrill-seeking vampire teen on a path of mystery, danger and intrigue.

When a human girl is kidnapped by a group of rogue vamps, Dawn discovers that there is more going on in Angel Creek than meets the eye. And it all connects to Ethan, the cute newcomer who seems too perfect to be true, Sebastian, the mysterious vampire with a turbulent past, and even Dawn herself. Dawn must not only succeed in revamping the troubled recruits, but must also prevent the vampire race from being overtaken by a malevolent villain who has a strange and obsessive fascination with her. As threat escalates, romance blooms, and ghosts from her past begin to surface, Dawn is sure of only one thing: her life will never be the same.

Music Playlist for ReVamped

by Ada Adams

I’m so bad when it comes to creating playlists! I always hear songs that remind me of characters, scenes, and themes of my books, but never manage to put them into a coherent list! So, for now, I enlisted some “ReVamped” readers and Team Misfits members to create a mini playlist. They also included the scenes that the songs remind them of. My readers are so much better at this than I’ll ever be!

ReAwakened

by Ada Adams
Series: Angel Creek #2
Release date: 27th November, 2012
Publisher: Selfpub
Pages: 540 (paperback edition)

Summary from Goodreads:

Becoming a vampire guardian was Dawn Fairchild’s ticket out of the Scarlet House. Fresh off a successful mission, life in Angel Creek should have been great. But when her sort-of-maybe-boyfriend, Sebastian, disappears on a quest to help a beautiful vampire from his past, Dawn finds herself amidst a web of danger, lies, and deceit.

Joining forces with Razor, an enigmatic rebel lacking both a verbal and a physical filter, and her band of Misfits—Brooke, Sophie, Hunter, and Seth—Dawn is thrust into a race against the clock to solve the mystery surrounding brutal Born kidnappings and come to terms with the sudden discovery of her own unique powers. With time ticking away and Born vampires’ lives in jeopardy, it quickly becomes evident that someone—or something—desperately wants Dawn and is willing to shed any amount of blood to get her.

Dawn has only one chance to face her demons and overcome all obstacles standing in her way as she embarks on the biggest mission of her life—one that threatens a deadly outcome for all involved.

Pages: 202 (paperback dition)

Summary from Goodreads:

Paralyzed by the past and terrified of the future, Tabitha Kelly is broken.

After a public sex scandal at her college, Tabby moves to a new city with a new school, convinced she can start over. But she soon realizes the changes are not enough. Tabby must take action to help her heal and move on from the past.
And though it sounds crazy, she believes a one-night stand is the best way to take back what’s hers. If she can choose where, when, and most importantly, who … maybe she can regain control.
First, she needs a willing participant.

She finds more than that when she meets Noah Adler.

Unfortunately, she can’t go through with it. And when she tries to forget about the plan—and the guy—it becomes impossible.

Noah quickly weaves his way into her new life and her heart. But as he comes dangerously close to discovering her secret, Tabby’s at risk of losing it all.
