Book Description:

Having been diagnosed with cancer, Cass Goldman decides to opt out of any futile medical care and end her life. While she has some thoughts on afterlife, she never expects to reincarnate into the body of a seventeen-year-old girl named Casey Davidson.

When she awakens in a hospital, Cass discovers two disturbing facts: One, she is now inside the body of a troubled teenager, and two, the former owner of this body committed suicide, but only Cass knows that. Everyone else believes Casey has survived, but suffered a complete memory loss. Cass has two choices: to take on Casey’s life and turn it around, or to confess the truth about her reincarnation and end up in a mental asylum. Given this second chance to life, Cass decides to take on the future life of Casey—the frightening ghoul-faced teen with short, black, spiky hair.

Every person around Cass has an ulterior motive and discovering the truth of Old Casey’s life is more complicated than the “new math” she is forced to learn in school. In addition, Cass has to contend with raging teenage hormones and the prior crimes of Old Casey, which she might not remember, but everyone else certainly does. However, her biggest frustration concerns her feelings for her father’s rugged security specialist who sees her only as a teenager and doesn’t want to explore the mutual attraction between them.

Will her second chance at life prove to be worth the struggles she has to overcome? Continue reading FMB Blog Tour: Saving Casey

BOOK ONE in THE SILVER SERIES.

2342 CE

Dishonorably discharged from the Hunter Division and banished for crimes she did not commit, Silver struggles to come to terms with her new prison-like surroundings: a segregated area of the city called the Fringe District, populated by murderers, thieves and rapists.

Starving, and desperate for money, she reluctantly accepts the Police Division’s invitation to enroll in a covert Bounty Hunter program: an initiative devised to infiltrate the criminal underworld of the Fringers, and to force the very worst warrant dodging law-breakers to meet their fate–death.

Unfortunately, Silver doesn’t realize that the Police Division is about to up the ante. They need more than little snippets of information and arrests–they need someone to pull the trigger. They need an executioner.

Set more than 300yrs in the future, the Silver Series takes place in a post-apocalyptic, dystopian world where humans are a species on the brink of extinction.

New Release: Everville

Today I have a new release that looks really interesting. It was just released on the 11th, the first in a series. I think the cover looks like a mix of Star Wars and a wizard. What do you think?
Everville2

Blurb:

The book is essentially a hero’s struggle between good and evil set in an urban and epic fantasy setting. The lead character, Owen Sage, has just discovered a fantasy world that has a very real connection to his own.  He mysteriously crossed into another dimension, into the beautiful land of Everville then discovered that there was a darkness seeping into his world and the new land which he discovered, Everville. He has to find a way to save both worlds while joining forces with the race of Fron and The Keepers as well as his college friends at Easton Falls University.

Excerpt:

We hurriedly walked towards the desk. The Keeper reached up and grabbed a rectangular shaped object from one of the crates. He pointed at some characters that appeared on the screen of the object and said, “See. It’s all wrong!” I tried to make out what was on the screen, but the characters were unrecognizable. It was like some sort of ancient language I had never seen before. I asked, “What’s wrong?”“

Everything is wrong. I don’t know if we can fix it.”

“Fix what?”

An unusual young woman and fledgling journalist, Luna has various restrictive oddities, all of which prevent any kind of physical intimacy. Abusive parents take pleasure in Luna’s misery and isolation, yet Luna strives to make them proud, to finally earn their elusive love – something she craves almost as much as the painless touch of a lover.

When she learns of a tragic story involving the kidnap of baby Esta, she jumps at the chance to investigate, dragging her Shadows along for the ride within the murky depths of her mind.

Meanwhile, a dark stranger visits Luna’s dreams and stalks her reality. In lieu of the real thing, their intimate moments excite rather than terrify. Nestled within his presence, she begins to sense an urgent message of danger – a message she struggles to interpret, until they finally meet….

Her investigations lead Luna to a vibrant seaside town, hiding copycat aliens and an underworld of Supernaturals. Here, she comes face-to-face with her own, terrifying identity. Confronted with life-changing decisions and the harshest of truths, Luna questions her sanity, searching for logic, feeling deceived by both.

Is Luna trapped in a newfound supernatural world, or within her own delusions? And will anyone care enough to save her? Continue reading CBLS Blog Tour: Finding Esta

New Release: Recalled

Special Price Promo
Welcome to the New Release for Cambria Hebert’s newest book, Recalled! It comes out TODAY and is a special price! Also, don’t miss my review for this book. It’s a promising new series!

Recalled hardbackRecalled Blurb:

Love or Death? A simple question really. The choice seems obvious. But. What if you never knew love, what if your life was spent just trying to survive? What if you knew your fate before you were fully grown?

And then you died.

And you were given another chance. A better chance.

This new life depended upon one thing: your job. And so you agreed. You thought it would be simple. You thought it would be cut and dry.

It never is.

And now you are left holding the fate of someone else in the palm of your hand and you have to make the ultimate choice.

Love or Death? Continue reading New Release: Recalled

Review: Recalled

Recalled
Recalled by Cambria Hebert
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“Stupid – men.” (Definition provided by Piper and many other women across the globe.)

Piper was leaving work when she felt Dex’s eyes on her. Unknown to her, he intended to mug her. But his intentions and what happened end up being very different things. Now he’s faced with a choice: Love or Death?

Fans of Hebert’s other works will recognize the voice of this story as similar in fashion. The pace is well done, with enough emotional roller coasters to keep readers turning pages. The chapters are titled with definitions, and are often predictors of what is to come. It ends up being a bitter/sweet story about second chances and what we do with them.

In what promises to be a good first book of the series, Recalled introduces readers to the workings G.R. and his coat closet and hints at more “outfits” to come.
