Six
Books, one epic journey. Make their story your own.
Blurb
- Blood and Light - Book 1:
Rue
lives in the quiet little town of Calvary, Minnesota. It is nestled along the
Great Lakes and surrounded in lush forests. A home, a safe place to be, or so
she thought.
Rue
is planning her future and trying to navigate school and all other aspects of
her life. Then her Mother falls ill. This sends Rue spiraling as she feels
abandoned and without guidance. Attempting to make things better, Kai, Rue's
only sibling, invites her to a party that will change the course of her life
forever.
What
would you do if you suddenly realized that your entire life had been a lie?
That those who loved you the most had fabricated a world to protect you from a
damning truth?
Blurb
- Smoke and Mirrors - Book 2:
In
book two the story takes a much darker turn. The rogue vampires are introduced
as they try to destroy everything Rue holds dear. Rue is fighting her way back
to reality after being abducted and forced to enter Valon, the ancient city to
all vampires. Dark forces close in all around her as new enemies threaten to
take everything she has ever known.
Epic
battles rage, new enemies are uncovered, and the deepest of loves may have to
be sacrificed for survival.
Blurb
- Oil and Water - Book 3:
We
join Rue as she wakes up in a foreign place. She does not remember who she, how
she got there or why her heart aches so badly. She also has a very bad feeling
that if she gets well, something terrible will come of it. She struggles to get
a grip on reality as new friends try their best to earn her trust, but old
enemies bring with them memories of a life she has all but forgotten.
Once
again she finds herself in a battle of epic proportions, only this time her
greatest enemy is her own mind and what it will accept as truth.
Will
she allow herself to move forward? or, will she fade into memory once and for
all?
Blurb
- Clarity and Reason - Book 4:
As
Rue accepts the tragedies that have befallen her family, she finds it almost
impossible to allow love back into her heart. Every day she is maturing, coming
closer to becoming a true protector. Closer to understanding her power and what
she truly is. All the while some old enemies have now become strong allies, and
some allies are not what they seemed to be.
Will
she love again?
Will
she take the final steps and accept her powers?
Or
will she force them back into the books, locking them away forever?
Blurb
- Grace and Beauty - Book 5:
In
book five the story takes an even stranger turn for Rue and all of the
characters you have grown to love.
Jonathan
suffers with a loss of such great magnitude he may never recover from it. Rue
and Joshua try to cope with an ever growing Gracie. Theo try's to distract
himself from his growing need for Jonah.
Suddenly
a darkness arises that forces them to become the family they were always
destined to be.
Blurb
- Hope and Faith - Book 6:
Rue
faces the biggest obstacle in her path yet...herself.
Her
power is so immense that she has weaved a safety net for everyone around her.
She has created a new reality to ignore the truth. It is so impenetrable that
she may not even be able to destroy it.
Their
one true enemy has discovered their location after being buried in the earth
for decades. This new threat will join forces with anyone who harbors ill will
towards Rue and her family.
Rue
must wake up to reality and set things right.

Excerpt
from Book 2 "Smoke and Mirrors":
"What
the hell are you doing here?"
"Saving
your ass." I said
"Yeah,
looks like it." Josh said sarcastically.
"Oh
shut up, we have to figure out how to get off this thing."
We
slid a little and I squeezed my legs against his sides.
"Oh,
this is sexy." he said with a growl.
"Oh
my God! We are going to die here if you don't help." I yelled at him.
"Okay,
okay...give me your blade." he said.
"What?"
"Give
it to me." He said as he lifted his hand. I placed it in his hand and he
quickly sliced it across my palm.
"Ouch!"
I said. He grinned at me as we slid a little more down the mirror.
"Let
me drink your blood, I'm weak." he said to me in a low tone.
I
pressed my hand against his mouth and I felt his lips on my skin. The sudden
hum in my body was an unneeded distraction. I tightened my legs as I straddled
him and he groaned. He pulled my hand away from his mouth, smiling up at me.
"Could
you not do that?" he said.
"Do
what?" I asked him.
"Press
down on me like that."
"I
can't help it!" I cried out as I tightly wrapped my arms around his neck ,
we started to slide down further and further.
He
grunted as he tried his best to push himself back up with me on top of him.
"This
is not the way I wanted our first time to be." he said with a laugh.
"Oh
my God, shut up!" I yelled as he did nothing but aggravate me as usual.

Nikki Narvaez' Emblazed Blog Tour
Emblazed
(The Elemental Prophecy 2)
Author:
Nikki Narvaez
Release
Day: September 20, 2013
Synopsis:
Three
days. Three days seems like a lot of time, but not when you are racing to save
the one you love. Not when time is against you.
Three
days is all Jace has to save Brielle, to prevent both of their deaths. Both
have more to battle than they ever imagined while they fight for their lives,
their souls, and their love.
Will Jace be able to rescue Brielle, or will the
fate of the world die with her?
Excerpt
From Emblazed (The Elemental Prophecy 2):
Hades
walked in with that stupid smirk on his face, which I couldn't wait to remove.
When he reached me, he sneered as he said, “I'm going to give you one last
chance to surrender your power to me. I shall spare you and you can go back
home. If not, you can stay here while I continue to torture you until you beg
me to take it.”
I
snorted. “That will never happen. I would never give you my power, even if I
knew how, which I don't.”
“Not
even for the life of your flame?” Hades asked smugly.
I
stiffened as fear spread over me. Had he found Jace? He couldn't have – Jace
just got here. I could still feel him, and he wasn't in the building yet. Hades
directed his attention to the door, which opened to two minotaurs dragging Jace
between them. No. No, no, no!
I
concentrated on talking to Jace in my mind, but he didn't respond. He still
felt like he was somewhere else in the Underworld, not standing right in front
of me. I knew our connection was having issues from being apart, but shouldn't
it be back to normal since he was in front of me? He barely struggled against
his captors, and he wouldn't even look at me. Jace, look at me! Look at me!
He
still didn't respond. Something wasn't right. This couldn't be Jace – all my
senses but my sight told me it wasn't, but how could I deny it when he stood
before me? He looked like my Jace, and given I was probably delirious from
everything I'd experienced down here, I didn't put much weight on not being
able to hear or feel him. Our bond was probably all fucked up from being down
here in another realm anyway.
“Last
chance – submit your power to me or he will die,” Hades threatened.
“But,
I don't know how. Please, don't,” I begged. Fuck, I didn't want to resort to
begging, but this was Jace. I'd do anything for him, even damn humanity. I
didn't care whether I was being selfish or not, Jace was my world, the only one
that really mattered to me.
Then,
my nightmare sprang to life before my eyes. The minotaurs moved away as the
demons and skeletons from the walls converged on Jace. “Jace!!! Nooo!!!”
I
pulled and fought against my bonds as tears blurred my sight. I couldn't feel
anything that was happening to him, further confusing me as to what was
transpiring with our bond. All I could focus on was Jace fighting off demons in
front of me, and desperation and rage pulsed through me. I used it to empower
my Akasha, but I was so consumed with emotion that I had no control over the
tremendous power that streamed out of me. It erupted from my body, engulfing
the room in light while wildly shooting in all directions, including upwards
where the invisible bonds imprisoned me.
I
fell to the floor in a heap, finally free. I looked up, frantically searching
for Jace among the piles of charred bodies that had been in the path of my
Akasha. Chandeliers sat in fragments in between the multitude of bodies and
their strewn parts scattered across the floor. The thrones were on opposite
sides of the room, embedded in the walls. Piles of ash smoked in various places
throughout the room. Hades was nowhere in sight, and I hoped that I had
obliterated him to one of those mounds of dust, even though he probably fled
like coward when everything started happening.
I
tried to stand, but I was too weak to support myself. Dots spotted my vision as
I dragged myself down the stairs, praying that I could find Jace in the carnage
in front of me before I blacked out. I was still alive, so that meant he was
too, right? Our bond couldn't be that fractured, could it? I saw the red tips
of his hair beneath a mass of blackened bodies.
I
crawled over the smoking remains of the demons, the stench of which caused me
to vomit on one of them. I continued crawling over bodies until I finally made
it to Jace. I pushed the bodies on top of him weakly, but they wouldn't budge.
I sobbed as I continued, only freeing his face and chest before I collapsed
from my efforts. My head rested on his chest, which wasn't rising and falling
with breath. I couldn't hear his heartbeat, my most cherished sound in the
whole world. My heart shattered as I took in his charred face, his dead eyes
staring back at me. Darkness crept in, and the last thought I had before I was
pulled into nothing was that Jace couldn't be burned.

Jake Snow from Elodie Parkes now available on your kindle
I personally love Elodie Parkes and all of her work.
Whenever I hear there is something more to read from her, I tend to put aside
what I'm currently reading and move her to the front. Welcome to my blog today
Elodie. Can you share some things with us?
Hi Jacquie,
Thank you for inviting me to the blog today with my new
release, ‘Jake Snow’.
The book is the story of Bethany Snow’s brother. Bethany is
the leading female character in my erotic romance, ‘The Last Time’ and people
who read the book early in its release always wanted to know more about Jake. I
had his story in my head and so here it is.
‘The Last Time’ takes place on a movie location and that’s
where Jake and Bethany, who are private investigators are sent by their agency
to deal with hate mail being sent to a movie star there. It’s two years since
his sister got married and Jake has been working cases alone. He’s tired and
hoping to find love too when we meet him in this book. This time the story
takes place in the fashion world and Jake gets caught up in the strange
happenings in an atelier.
The idea for the movie location book came to me when I was
invited to watch a shoot by an indie film maker. The idea for the high fashion
setting for this book was seeded about the same time when I went to watch a
fashion show with friends. I was on holiday overseas, with them. We had
attended a dance theatre, and then later in the week a fashion show. I knew
immediately that I would write a story about the world of fashion. The idea of
placing Jake Snow in this world came after I had written, The Last Time.
A new romantic mystery from Amazon best-selling author,
Elodie Parkes
Jake Snow
Private detective, Jake Snow, has grown tired of working
alone since his sister Bethany married, and stopped working on field cases with
him. He's chosen less high-powered cases as he decides against teaming with
another partner from the Black Agency. Gradually Jake realizes he wants the
kind of love his sister found, and a different job...
When he's sent on what he thinks is a simple surveillance
assignment, just before he's due to take his requested extended leave, he finds
a tangled web of lies, and a fashion designer in trouble...
The question is will he also find love?
With steamy love scenes and a twist of fun, this book is
18+
Read an excerpt G 13+ rated
He put his hand gently on her arm. “Let me see where you’re
hurt.”
She pulled her T-shirt down to show him the top of her arm.
There was a big bruise starting where her shoulder met the top of her arm and
it continued down her arm a little way.
Jake frowned. “I’m sorry. I did that didn’t I? I knew you
were slender, but I thought I was dealing with a young guy, maybe casing the
place for a robbery. Have you got any witch hazel, that’s good for bruises?”
She shook her head, and pulled up her T-shirt.
“Maybe a pack of frozen peas?” Jake really wanted to help,
and at the same time, he was trying to squash down an urgent need to hold her
close and kiss that bruise away. It worried him, but he found her very
attractive.
Pixie shook her head again, and to Jake’s alarm, a huge
tear slid down her cheek and dripped off her chin. Jake caught it in the palm
of his hand.
“Don’t cry. I’ll talk with my boss and maybe there will be
some way we can help you.”
