Release Blitz - Among the Echoes by Aly Martinez



 
 Title: Among the Echoes
Author: Aly Martinez
Release Date: July 31, 2014

 

My name was Dr. Erica Hill. I was a victim, then a witness, and then I ceased to exist altogether.

I may still be breathing, but stripped of my identity, I have long since stopped living. I am invisible, and my life depends on my ability to stay in the shadows.

But he sees me.

Slate Andrews is the embodiment of everything I have been taught to avoid. He’s rich and famous, and one image of him with a woman would earn millions for any paparazzi lucky enough to snap it. He has vowed to protect me with his life, yet he exposes me with his every breath. I should be stronger and walk away. I should disappear. But I’m terrified he would come after me.

I’m on the run, determined not to take him down with me but absolutely unable to let him go.

My name is Riley Peterson…at least for today.
 



 









I'm not quite sure where to begin... the one word that comes to my mind when I think of this author is genius.

I loved her first 2 books as well as her writing style so I was excited to read Among the Echoes. Little did I know I was going to be gasping and going "What the Fuck" after finishing the first chapter.
 
I believe I felt every emotion out there, and felt it to the extreme. The book was intense from the first page and I don't feel like I took a full deep breath until the very last word. After I finished, I needed to take a day to just regroup and think rationally about what I had just experienced. Let's not forget about the sex either. That's very important in a romance novel, I will admit, nothing is better than an erotic scene that makes you blush. I can assure you this book has that and then some.

I do not like putting spoilers in my reviews so it's kind of hard to explain to you why I loved this book so much. I will say for all you Aly Martinez fans....... you are going to freak out!

I give Among the Echoes 10 stars. I know technically I can only give 5 but there is no way on earth I will give this author just 5 stars. She is an amazing author with incredible talent! A "thank you" is not nearly enough... but, in the words of our dear Slate...


'I say the words I've probably said to him a million times since I met him. "Thank you."
He never responds, but he doesn't have to.'

5 F***ing Stars!
 
You know when you read those books that you just want to climb a mountain and yell for everyone to read it? No? Only I get those moments? Well after reading Among the Echoes you will know the feeling. Read this book. Read. This. Book!

I love Aly's Wrecked and Ruined series but this one just blew them out of the park. One of the best books I have read in 2014. It started off not so great because of the nightmare Erica and Leo were going through but it gets so much better.

Adam aka Slate, the big hunkalicious fighter, he can totally teach me self defence moves anytime. Riley aka Erica, goes from a scared girl into an amazing strong woman. These characters were meant for each other. Both coming from not so great pasts and working toward a picturesque future.

Among the Echoes is filled with angsty suspense, heartbreaking speeches and loving/tender moments. An all round perfect book for emotions. I could not put this book down at all. If you want a book hangover read Among the Echoes. Oh and that twist at the end... oh em gee! Enjoy

Title: Precarious
Series: Jokers' Wrath MC #1
Author: Bella Jewel
Release Date: August 4, 2014
 

 
In darkness, we find danger. In danger, I find Beau.

Ash is a prison guard, she's tough, she's strong and she never backs away from a fight. She takes her job seriously, she takes her training seriously, and everything in her life goes as planned.

Until the day he is brought into the prison.

She'll never forget meeting Beau 'Krypt' Dawson for the first time. She'll never forget his haunted eyes and his numb expression. He's a member of the Jokers Wrath MC and it is said he killed an innocent family in the middle of a cafe, in cold blood.

Deranged. Crazy. Psychotic.
 
All those words describe the infamous Krypt, but Ash suspects there's far more to the quiet man than meets the eye. Secrets are being hidden by the club, information is being kept under wraps. Krypt is silent for a reason.

Ash is desperate to know that reason.

Continually fighting, Krypt is transferred to a high security prison. Ash is in charge. She's always prepared, always alert. Not even her skills will stop the club from ambushing them and taking back Krypt. Only Ash ends up right in the middle of it.
 
They take her, too.

Now she's stuck with a Motorcycle Club who are tougher than any prisoner she's ever laid eyes on. And they won't let her go. She's too much of a risk. Until the situation can be sorted, they send her and Krypt into the mountains together....alone.
 
An epic, dangerous love will be built on the foundations of darkness.

Blog Tour - Statistic by Dawn Robertson

 
 
Title: Statistic
Author: Dawn Robertson
Release Date: July 26, 2014

 

Love.
 
Betrayal.
 
Deception.
 
Attempted Murder.
 
Aurora Alexander is everything headlines are made of.
 
Newly divorced single mother Aurora Alexander is trying to move on with her life.
 
After a string of unsuccessful blind dates, she turns to internet dating.
 
Everyone does it, so it has to be safe. Right?
 
Wrong.

 

 
 
 


 

 
Statistic is about Aurora Alexander. She is recently divorced with a 4-year-old son. Her friends kept setting her up on bad dates so she decided to try out a dating site, Fish in the Sea. She meets a few different guys on there and begins chatting with them and going on dates. While out on a date, someone breaks into her apartment and trashes it a little bit and leaves a note. When that happened I wasn't sure who did it but I had a pretty good idea of who it was. This incident makes Aurora feel unsafe and she ends up moving to a different house. Little does she know she still isn't safe...

And let me just say this about the ending: HOLY CRAP!! From reading reviews I knew that something big was going to happen in the end and I was nervous. I had to read it twice because I was like "WHAT??" The ending was a mind f*ck. A day later and I'm still thinking about it!

I loved this book and I didn't want to put it down. I never knew what was going to happen next. There were a lot of twists and turns. This book shows the dangers of internet dating and I can honestly say I won't be using an internet dating site anytime soon.

WOW!! I did not see that coming at all. Out of left field, hit on the head and knocked me out!

Aurora is a newly divorced mom trying her hand at the world of dating again. She joins an online website and is quickly overwhelmed by the amount of messages she is receiving (some sweet, some lewd). She goes on dates with some of the men from the website but quickly learns that none of them are what she wants out of life.

After a while she meets Jackson and they begin to date. Their chemistry together is off the charts. After a few dates, things get steamy.

“Stop trying to cover up that body, or I am going to have to tie these (her wrists) up. And I don’t want to do that, because I wanna feel your nails digging into my ass when I finally plunge my cock inside that delicious little pussy.”

This book flowed pretty well and was a good read. There were so many twists and turns on the journey, I had no idea what to think by the time I got to the end. I had my idea of the ending throughout the entire book but by the time I got there, I had changed my opinion so many times, I was sure it wouldn’t be the ending that it was.

This is the first book I have read by Dawn and while some parts were a little slow, they didn’t stay that way for long. I can only hope there is another book to follow up with Aurora and Jackson!

Dawn Robertson is a two time best selling, twenty-something indie author, and mother. She lives in sunny senior citizen packed Florida, where she wrangles her flock of kids and writes smut.

Dawn can normally be found swearing like a sailor, making late night drive-thru appearances, arguing with her kids (or being run over by their power wheels), reading a steamy romance while hiding in her bathroom, writing her little heart out on her laptop (or dragging her Macbook to the Genius bar praying they can save her latest work in progress), shopping for My Little Pony goodies, being the life of the party at a book signing, or sipping on a smoothie. She loves to hear from her fans, readers, and authors alike. Feel free to drop her a message.

Dawn rarely takes life seriously, so be sure to expect heavy sarcasm from her. She is also the life of the party, so be sure to meet up with her at one of the many author events she will be attending in the next couple months. Buy her a shot of whiskey, and she will love you for life.
