Betrayed Book Blast $100!


I joined up this this awesome Book Blast where the author Ednah Walters is giving away a $100 Amazon Giftcard to one winner!  Not too long ago I participated in her Blast for her other book Awakened which was the prequel to this book which is release on June 5th!  So, come check out what this book is all about before the book is released!


Betrayed is a Young Adult book.


Betrayed
Lil isn't just an average teenager. She's one of the Nephilim--the descendants of humans and angels--which gives her some serious psi skills and a mission for redemption. Just when Lil thinks she's found a balance between her normal life with human friends and her training to become a Guardian, she's warned that someone close to her will betray her. When the boy she loves starts acting strangely and one of her human friends acquires a supernatural ability, Lil begins to realize that someone is manipulating the people she loves... and won't stop until she's been lured to the dark side.

PRAISE FOR THE BOOK:



"Just like Awakened, Betrayed has risen above all the other books in this genre. She has created such an amazing world for her Guardians & demons where good and evil are not as simple as it seems they should be." ~J. Whitus (Book Junkies) Walking On Bookshelves

"I just love a spunky heroine so I was excited to keep reading about Lil, the demon hunter I got to know in Awakened (book one of The Guardian Legacy series). Walters takes the story and world she built so well in Awakened and adds in an intense plot with lots of twists to make for a strong sequel."~ Kelli (I'd So Rather Be Reading)


"Lil is one of my favorite female leads, with all of the traits that you want a strong female lead to have. She's smart, strong, loyal and doesn't know how to back down."~ Missy (Missy's Reads & Reviews

"There is action in this book as well as a lot of emotional turmoil."~ Cathy Garcia The Review


EDNAH WALTERS BIO:


I grew up reading Nancy Drew and Hardy boys mysteries and fell in love with books


I enjoy good love stories, tingly mysteries and epic adventures. When I finished my college and decided to be a stay-at-home mother, I devoured books like they were going out of production, until reading just wasn't enough. So I started to write.


I've written picture books (unpublished), contemporary and romantic suspense (under the pen name E. B. Walters), and finally YA fantasy (as Ednah Walters).


AWAKENED (2010) is the prequel to the YA series about the Nephilim, The Guardian Legacy series. BETRAYED (book # 1) is now available wherever books are sold, HUNTED (book # 2) will be released in February 2013 and FORGOTTEN (later in 2013).


My adult contemporary with or without suspense is about a west coast Irish-American family series. I've published four Fitzgerald books: SLOW BURN (April 5th 2011), MINE UNTIL DAWN (June 29th 2011), KISS ME CRAZY (Sept 25th 2011) and DANGEROUS LOVE (Jan 29th 2012)


When I'm not writing, I do things with my family, five children and my darling husband of 18 years. I live in a picturesque valley in northern Utah, the setting for my YA series.

Elemental Book Blast! $100 Amazon GC!




Just because Ella can burn someone to the ground with her mind doesn't mean she should. 


But she wants to. 


For ten years—ever since she was a small child—Ella has been held prisoner on an interstellar starship. Now that she has escaped, she needs answers. 


Who is she? Why was she taken? And who is the boy with the beautiful green eyes who haunts her memories? 


Is Ella the prophesied Destructor… or will she be the one who's destroyed?  


My Opinion 
I am really excited to read this book.  I haven't gotten my hands on it, but from all the hype I have been hearing it is just the book for me.  I love sci-fi, paranormal, and fantasy books.  Some of my favorites have been Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy, Harry Potter, and Vampire Diaries as well as some adult paranormal book series.  I have also enjoyed the TV shows like Charmed, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Angel.

PRAISE FOR ELEMENTAL
"Emily White's debut novel is a bestseller waiting to happen...I immediately fell in love with Ella." Author Michelle Pickett

"Who would have thought that mixing faeries and space opera would turn out to be so awesome? ... If you’re a sci-fi fan, you really can’t miss this debut!" Birth of a New Witch, book blogger

"Emily has done a fantastic job describing the worlds and this book has lots of action in it...keep your eye out for the book! Happy Reading! Go on a wonderful adventure to a new world where things are not always as they seem!" Tee loves Kyle Jacobson, goodreads review

"I can honestly say I've never read anything quite like Elemental. My hat is off to Ms. White, and anyone else who can take a novel set squarely in the sci-fi genre, throw in fairies and a few obscure King Arthur references, and make it all work." Keshia Swaim at The Book Addict

"I'm calling it right now. Elemental is the beginning of the next big YA series...I can safely say that I could give a copy of Elemental to my guy friends without fear of getting punched in the nose." Author Daniel Cohen




About the Author:


Emily White lives in NY, wedged between two of the Great Lakes and a few feet of snow and ice. She's spent most of her life running away from the cold, and even spent a year in Iraq, but now contents herself with writing her characters into warm, exotic places in faraway galaxies. When not tapping away at her computer keys, she can be found reading, reading, and reading some more. And when she's not doing that, she's usually playing video games with her husband, peek-a-boo with her kids, or walking through her garden, wondering why the bugs insist on eating all her vegetables.
