Book Tour: Review & Giveaway of Savor (Warm Delicacy #1) by Megan Duncan

              Enjoy the review!
                    
                                 Overview 
When Claire Miller turned eighteen all she wanted to do was celebrate her birthday, but after a night on the town with her best friend she awakes to a visitor she never expected. The rulers of her region, a vampire royal family, have chosen her to be turned as their new heir and vampire princess. Claire quickly discovers the royal family is not what they seem and that she has secrets in her past, she never knew existed.



About Savor
Available for Purchase on Amazon.com
Claire a teen girl lives in a society where vampires rule and actually respect humans. Although other regions not of where she lives would probably frown on her region's vampires. The vampires in her society require one thing though from humans: blood donations. During her visit to a blood donation center a most surprising thing happens. Claire would have to decide whether the vampire royalty in her society really need her for a good purpose or not.

Claire has a very cheerful voice and doesn't try to let things get her down. She tries to be understanding in the situation she's been put that can seem frightening. Especially involving vampires. Many readers will enjoy the easy voice of the writing I'm sure.
Savor is a new vampire story concept with instances of interesting romance, and very mysterious hidden surprises. For Book 1, not bad did have really good enjoyable reading moments. A good read. Recommended. 

                                                                             Overall: Good read
                Genre: Young Adult, Paranormal Romance, Vampires

Waiting on Wednesday (3)




"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:


         Arcadia Awakens (Arkadien #1) by Kai Meyer
Release Date: February 14, 2012
To Rosa Alcantara, the exotic world of Sicily, with its network of Mafia families and its reputation for murder and intrigue, is just that—exotic and wholly unknown. But when her life in Brooklyn begins to fall apart, she must travel there, to her family’s ancestral home, where centuries of family secrets await her.

Once there, Rosa falls head over heels for Alessandro Carnevare, the son of a Sicilian Mafia family, whose handsome looks and savage grace both fascinate and unsettle her. But their families are sworn enemies, and her aunt and sister believe Alessandro is only using Rosa to infiltrate the Alcantara clan. And when Rosa encounters a tiger one night—a tiger with very familiar eyes—she can no longer deny that neither the Carnevares nor the Alcantaras are what they seem.

Hidden caves, dangerous beasts roaming the hills, and a history of familial bloodlust mean that Rosa can’t trust anyone. Torn between loyalty to her family and love for their mortal enemy, Rosa must make the hardest decision of her life: stay in Sicily with her new love…or run as far and as fast as she can.



Get the Book?   Amazon.com | Goodreads 

Thoughts: I love the sound of the storyline. Since, it's from Harper Teen publishers it can only be good.

Affiliated with Seventh Star Press!: Release of Angelkiller by H. David Blalock


Some book news. Read on....

Proud Unveiling of A NEW Urban Fantasy Series!

Limited-Edition Offer
With only 75 limited edition hardcovers to be issued, Angelkiller continues the Seventh Star Press tradition of producing one of the best value limited hardcover editions available anywhere.  The limited edition hardcover edition includes an exclusive illustration not found in any other version.  The artist for the book and series is Matthew Perry, whose artwork can be found in other Seventh Star Press titles from Jackie Gamber, Steven Shrewsbury, Michael West, and Stephen Zimmer.

Angelkiller by H. David Blalock
Angelkiller introduces Jonah Mason, the oldest, and most experienced of the Angelkillers, an elite force in the Army of Light.  They are fighting an ancient war, one in which the Darkness achieved a great triumph long ago that has had profound influence on the fabric of life as we know it.  It is the simple answer as to why bad things happen to good people. The great battle may have been lost, but the war continues in a modern age, pitting Jonah against the Enemy in a way even he had never faced.  A provocative mixture of the supernatural and technological, Angelkilleris a very special, thought-provoking tale, one that shines forth in the upper realms of urban fantasy literature.

Based out of the Memphis area, H. David Blalock has an impressive writing career of 35 years and counting that has achieved numerous publishing credits in print and online mediums.  He is most known for his fantasy novel Ascendant (Sam's Dot Publishing), which was the basis for a twenty minute short film produced in 2010 that featured former WWE wrestler Al Snow.  The sequel to Ascendant, Emperor (Sam's Dot Publishing), was released in March of 2011.  David is also the founder of Imagicopter, an author-driven organization that creates an array of event opportunities for small press authors and artists, while also publishing the highly-regarded Imagyro magazine.

The limited edition hardcover and special softcover collectors packages include an assortment of collectible extras, such as a 14X20 art poster, bookmarks, a set of glossy art cards, an Angelkiller magnet, and a pair of Angelkiller buttons.  They are scheduled to be shipped the first week of December, when the trade paperback will be made available everywhere, along with several eBook formats, including the Kindle, iPad, Nook, and Sony eReaders and other electronic reading devices.

Angelkiller was edited by Amanda DeBord.  Book 2, Traitor Angel, and Book 3, Doom Angel, will be released over the course of 2012 and early 2013.
