Something Witchy This Way Comes: Something Witchy, Book One
WHAT BOOK REVIEWERS ARE SAYING whatsyourstorybookreviews.com: "This book is delicious " actingbalanced.com: "This book takes Twilight and others like it to the next level " madmoosemama.blogspot.com: "The dialogue and emotions are real and raw, there are some expletives and sexual fantasy scenes but I felt they worked with the characters and gave them more of an edge to their creation. Oftentimes the author used comedic wit to the scenes giving it an even more humanistic appeal to the characters." agrippinalegit.com: "I have a feeling that Hayden is going to end up with a lot of fans, and if you're the type of person who tends to fall for the bad boys with hearts of gold, you should probably brace yourself for a new literary crush before picking up Something Witchy This Way Comes " mindingspot.blogspot.com "From teen to adult, I can't imagine anyone not absolutely adoring this book." SOMETHING WITCHY THIS WAY COMES Brainiac Tessa McClean's newly discovered magical powers give her an escape from her self-absorbed parents. But the thrill of being a witch fades when she learns of a rival coven and begins to suspect her own coven's motives. Evidence tells Tessa to trust one side, but instinct drives her toward the other. When the school's scrumptious delinquent, Hayden Anders, offers Tessa self-defense lessons in exchange for tutoring, his timing couldn't be better. Although hanging out with him is a necessary evil in Tessa's fight to stay alive, resisting a bad-boy she secretly yearns for might be more than she can manage. Together, Tessa and Hayden work to unravel the mysteries behind the two covens to discover why they'll stop at nothing to lure Tessa to their side. She must form an alliance with one of the covens before it's too late. But the wrong decision could cost Tessa the lives of all who she holds dear - including Hayden. MORE RAVE REVIEWS booknookclub.blogspot.com: "What I loved about this book was that it dove straight into my emotions. When she and Hayden had a steamy scene, I felt it too. When she was getting into trouble, I was biting my nails. When she discovered truths, I gasped and even cried. It was a great emotional roller coaster..." hippiesbeautyandbooksohmy.com: "The author creates a ton of tension and suspense even though as the reader, we know what each character is thinking and feeling. It takes a very creative person to accomplish something like that." dream-wish-live.blogspot.com: "Action packed, and fast paced... Overall, a great read with intriguing characters." cafeofdreamsbookreviews.com: "Something Witchy This Way Comes is full of paranormal twists and turns, self-discoveries, courage, loyalty, trust and surprises. I thoroughly enjoyed each and every aspect of this book. Veronica Blade has an incredible talent for story telling and bringing characters to life vividly, to really allow the reader to invest themselves within both Tessa and Hayden, as well as the secondary characters." adiaryofabookaddict.blogspot.com: "This is a must read for all lovers of Paranormal books Veronica Blade you have out done yourself " lisaisabookworm.blogspot.com: "Veronica Blade has an easy style that swiftly carries the reader from start to finish and lovers of romance will greatly appreciate the will-they-won't-they tension between her two main characters." wovenstrands.wordpress.com: "With her breezy irreverence, remarkable self-assurance, and beguiling innocence, Tessa's voice is the one I enjoyed the most. Personally, I would have liked the entire tale to have been told from her perspective exclusively. However, Hayden's voice grew on me after a bit, and I soon relished seeing situations through his eyes, as well."

A Cinderella who spends her nights as a wolf. A prince with a taste for blood. Seventeen year old Cydney struggles against her werewolf nature, trying to keep everyone around her safe. No way will she risk exposing the beast at the prince's ball, no matter how her two cousins try to persuade her. As she attempts to carve out some semblance of a life, Cydney can't forget the boy she loved three summers ago - or what she did to him after losing control. Turned into a vampire to save his life, the prince refuses to live up to his royal duties. He just wants to find the girl he loved and lost...the werewolf girl who bit him. But his father, the king, commands him to attend a ball where he must choose a wife. Can he find his Cinderella before he's forced to marry another? He doesn't even have her real name, much less a glass slipper. EXCERPTIf I'd known it could be like this and that she'd wanted it too, I would've kissed her ages ago. I mentally kicked myself for wasting all those weeks when we could've been doing this the entire time. Her hand crept up under my shirt and her fingers trailed along my back. Goosebumps danced on my skin. She pressed closer against me and I took the kiss deeper, letting loose my weeks of pent up craving for her. I didn't think life could get any more perfect than being with Cindy. And I no longer yearned for a normal life. I wanted things to stay exactly as they were at that moment. With my Cinderella. Forever. A soft moan erupted from my throat when she angled her face to take the kiss still deeper. I slid my arms around her waist and the tips of my fingers inched up underneath her tank top. She shivered. But it wasn't a usual shiver. Her whole body began to tremble and I nearly lost my hold on her. I pulled back. Cindy's eyes grew huge and her pupils dilated. She threw her head back, her limbs vibrating as she growled. No, not a growl. It was more like a dull roar, full of pain and anguish. Was she... was my Cindy about to turn into a werewolf? Or was it something else? Maybe if I held her again, whatever was happening to her might stop. I lunged for her. "Get away from me " Sobbing, she shoved me back, but in the process, one of her claws raked across my chest. I flinched, as blood beaded on my skin. A little scratch wasn't going to stop me though. Not when Cindy needed my help. I stepped forward again. Her lips curled up, exposing long, growing teeth and she shrieked. Yeah, she'd hit werewolf maturity all right. But she hadn't completely morphed. Just her teeth and nails. Maybe if I calmed her, she could prevent it from progressing. I wrapped my arms around her waist, as I'd done just moments ago, and pulled her close. She shrieked again, then searing pain shot through my arm. Werewolf bite. Oh, crap. My dad was going to kill me... unless the werewolf virus beat him to it. The forest spun around me and I couldn't keep my eyelids up. My muscles went lax and when the ground rose to slam against me, I didn't feel a thing.

WHAT BOOK REVIEWERS ARE SAYING ABOUT BLIND DATE, CHECKMATE: cafeofdreamsbookreviews.com says, "Blind Date, Checkmate is a lovely and fun story to sink into." whatsyourstorybookreviews.com says, "If you're looking for a sweet romance with just enough sizzle to leave you breathless, then Blind Date, Checkmate is your book " "There is something about a man who is famous and wants just a regular ol girl that I like to read about. The chemistry between these two leaps out at you and you really enjoy reading about Shelby resisting the urge to plunge into love." - Beck's Book Picks about Blind Date/Checkmate BLIND DATE, CHECKMATE Should a woman who's unable to forget her first love give "happily ever after" one more try? Shelby Winters' one great love went sour. If she can't feel that way about a guy again, why bother? When Shelby's best friend sets her up on a blind date with Logan, the guy who broke her heart, he pursues her relentlessly, forcing her to make a choice: give her heart what it's always desired and risk total devastation or shut Logan out and lose her only shot at happiness. To Shelby, it's a lose-lose situation. Or is it? EXCERPT"I never stopped loving you," he said as we both got to the door. Liar. I whirled around and glared. "I was seventeen and it's been nine years. We've both grown up. I'm not the same stupid kid and I won't be so gullible this time." Why did he keep drawing me into these conversations? "So far, Logan, you're all talk and no action. The story of your life. No follow-through." I tried to get past him but he blocked the door. I backed up when I noticed his eyes ablaze, thinking maybe I'd pushed him too far. As if I were his prey, he caged me against the wall with his arms. I pressed my back into cold plaster so I wouldn't feel his thighs brushing mine. He only moved closer, a breath away, the friction of our bodies sending an inferno through me. Oh, yes, that had definitely been missing in my life. "You want me to follow through, I'm ready right now," he growled softly. Me too. But Logan was the last guy I'd go there with. Although it wouldn't exactly be a hardship re-enacting certain moments with someone that gorgeous, deep down I was still bruised by his past rejection. But I couldn't deny I was tempted. I'd never had a relationship that lasted. If I was doomed to a life of loneliness, it almost seemed justifiable to take happiness where I could find it, even if only temporarily. Logan inched toward me, his lips at my temple. My pulse spiked as he sucked my earlobe between his lips and I shuddered. "I knew you still loved me," he whispered in my ear. His words slapped me back to reality. A temporary fling with him would only bring me a lifetime of more pain. No. Way. "Oh, honey, you're confusing love with lust." I patted his cheek a little harder than necessary and pushed on his chest. "A guy like you should know better. Let's go eat. I'm hungry." I sailed past him knowing I'd thrown him a nice curve. I'd just taken his bishop. Score one point for me.

"This book was so much fun, I didn't want it to end." -- Susan Hatler, International Bestselling Authoreverythingtodowithbooks.blogspot.com said "It is far too addictive. I stayed up until 3 in the morning just to finish it because it had some kind of addictive quality that compelled me to continue reading until the very end " http: //freak-ya-tastic.blogspot.com said "In fact, I was so caught in this novel that I read it in a couple of hours. How can I resist to a fresh, light, cute and kind of hot read? It's just impossible." chapter-by-chapter.com said, "With the perfect body and the sexiest personality, he is my official fictional celebrity boyfriend (and the first)... An amazing quick read that I won't soon forget." PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONWhen good-girl Maddie switches places with her famous bad-girl twin Jackie, she has some pretty high stilettos to fill.Despite the danger of tabloid drama if their identity swap is discovered, Maddie has to save her sister's butt. When Jackie's ex-boyfriend shows up with a rekindled spark for "Jackie," his deep gray eyes and sweet kisses make Maddie's heart thumpety thump. But dating the guy who dumped her sister is a no-no. Too bad Dallas isn't used to girls saying no. What will happen when he discovers Maddie's deception?EXCERPT OF FROM FAME TO SHAME"And what are your plans tomorrow tonight?" Dallas reached up to rub a lock of my hair between his thumb and finger."Plans?" My mouth went dry. He stood way too close and my concentration slipped."You always have plans." His eyes caressed my face."Not tomorrow night." Somewhere deep in my soul, I knew that was the wrong answer. But when your brain stops working, telling the truth is so much easier."A friend told me that Josh Adams is jamming at Hanks Blues. It's supposed to be a surprise. Should be fun."I nodded, since it was all I was capable of at the moment."We'll have dinner there. I'll pick you up at six."Preventing Dallas from making another date with me would've been smart. The words hovered in my throat, but I couldn't force them out. Even if I didn't reject his offer, I needed to say something. Or, at the very least, finish cleaning up after breakfast. And yet, I couldn't move. I just stared into his eyes as they fixed on mine.His gaze fell to my mouth, then he reached both hands up to cup my face and, inch by inch, lowered his mouth to mine.Our lips touched, feather-light. He shifted his body and brought his thighs against mine, but he didn't deepen the kiss. He just skimmed the surface, gently teasing my mouth until my nerve endings hummed. Seconds stretched and my lungs stilled as I ached for more.Then, slowly, he withdrew, keeping close enough that I still felt his warm breath against my skin.I couldn't catch my breath. A thick haze clouded my brain and I worried he might ask me something, anything, that required a response and I'd slip up. Fear that I'd blow it for Jackie paralyzed me.Oh, my God Jackie If she knew I'd just kissed the guy who dumped her, she'd feel hurt and betrayed and what had we just talked about? Jackie didn't need this, on top of everything else."I..." I had no idea what to say. I only knew that if someone didn't say something soon and break the trance, I would let Jackie down worse than I already had. Because, more than anything, I wanted this guy, no matter how nice he was.

"Un-freakin-believable " and "This is truly one of the best YA Paranormal novels that I have ever read..." - CafeOfDreamsBookReviews "I just can't say enough how much I loved this book "- InJuliesOpinion "A fast-paced, intriguing start to the Shapes of Autumn series, My Wolf's Bane is an awesome read." - Susan Hatler, International bestselling author NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER: As with any Veronica Blade book, this is a ROMANCE NOVEL, meaning it's romance FIRST and everything else is secondary. Rated PG-13 for sexual situations and mild profanity. Different species. Mortal enemies. It'll never work, but they'll die trying. Autumn Rossi thought she was a normal teenager. Suddenly, she can outrun every critter in the forest, making her wonder if she's even human. When the new guy at school, Zack de Luca, witnesses a questionable scene, he unfairly pins her as stuck-up. He acts like he hates her, yet he keeps bailing her out of trouble. Not only is Zack both insufferable and irresistible, he seems to sniff her anytime he gets close. As passion flares between them, Autumn isn't sure which is more dangerous: her psycho ex-boyfriend, or falling for Zack - who's risking his life just by being near her. See the book trailer: http: //youtu.be/GEXgVD1NblU EXCERPT The smell of unwashed wolf closed in on me, fur tickling my skin and fetid breath in my face. I trembled, hot tears burning my eyes. The wolf snarled and I scrambled back as he leapt toward me. "Autumn. Autumn, wake up." Zack pulled me off the pillow by my shoulders. I lifted my head and rubbed my eyes, trying to wipe away the mental fuzz. But I was aware enough to notice my comforter wasn't anywhere near us, certainly not separating me from him. I must have kicked it off during my nightmare. "Are you okay?" Zack was sitting directly in front of me, his thighs straddling mine, heat from his bare skin radiating through me. I nodded. He exhaled in relief and leaned back to sit on his heels. "Heard you scream and I ran up here. Been calling your name over and over, but you wouldn't wake up. Scared me for a minute there." I'd been having that same dream where I was being chased. "I was running from wolves." He brushed a finger down my cheek. "It was just a dream." "More like a nightmare," I whispered, my gaze locking onto his. He wore nothing but a pair of boxers. As my ragged breath slowed, I realized the only other thing between us was my threadbare tank top and skimpy panties. "Autumn." His breathing quickened and he growled so low it sounded like a purr. Then he tilted my face to meet his and drew closer until I felt his breath on my skin. "You're too beautiful."

Escaping won't be easy with the werewolves guarding him. But until that day comes, Zack knows he's endangering Autumn every moment he's around her.
