Blog Tour: The Necro Device

Blog Tour, Giveaway, Guest Post, , , , ,
Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for The Necro Device! I know I’ve mentioned this book before, but I have a few good questions about this book that author M.T. has graciously answered. Also, he’s going to tell us about his next project AND do a giveaway! If you like thrillers, check this one out, folks!
Blurb:
Mary and John Hilt are offered a job to restore the Mandiev mansion built by the Mandiev brothers and isolated in the barren flatlands of eastern Colorado. Big pay and a getaway, it is what they desperately needed.
Unknown to Mary, there was an accident on the property years ago, one that killed hundreds of people from the surrounding four towns to include the Mandiev brothers. The communities mourned over their loved ones, and the Mandiev’s name was cursed forever. Still to this day, many wish for the property to be razed and will do whatever it takes to see that it is done.
Haunted, that is what they claimed the mansion to be, and while Mary tries not to think about it, she finds herself descending into its twisted past. She becomes tormented by recurring nightmares which soon warp into reality. She awakens to the maintenance man missing – missing because she thinks she killed him.
An intricate web of betrayal begins to unravel, and Mary finds herself within its dark center. Reality bends and distorts and layers of secrets peel away, one by one, revealing an onslaught of sinister motives and a device that plagues her and everyone who has ever been connected to the mansion. Somebody is operating the device, it is evil, and it has a purpose… Continue reading Blog Tour: The Necro Device →

New Release: The Path of Needles

Blog Tour, Guest Post, New Release, , , , , ,

It is my pleasure to present to you The Path of Needles by Hannah Kollef! If you like fairy tales, be sure to check this one out. It’s a new twist on an old tale mixed with some modernization. A must-read, for sure! I can’t wait to work on the sequel!

ALSO! I have a wonderful guest post about where the idea for this story came from and what tales were its influence. Keep reading for this sneak-peak into the mind and world of Hannah Kollef… I mean, Kat Finnegan. 🙂

Blurb:

When 17-year-old Kat Finnegan is warned in a Brooklyn alleyway that her father is going to disappear, she shrugs and walks away. The next morning her father is gone–leaving behind a booby-trapped apartment and a mystery that has slept for a thousand years.

To get him back, Kat and her twin brother Roger will have to unravel the secrets behind the Rose Queen–the fairy queen who ripped apart reality and stitched it back together, transforming the Fey into the memories known as fairy tales. They will also have to come to grips with their emerging powers and discover why they are known to the magical world as “The Truth” and “The Lie.”

Hunted by demons and treacherous Fey, Kat and Roger follow the Queen’s trail from Manhattan to Newark. But neither the Queen nor her curse is what they expected, and more is at stake than their father’s life–and theirs.

Path of Needles is the explosive first book in the Paths series: urban fantasies littered with deadly fairy tales, tangled romance, and heartbreaking betrayals. Continue reading New Release: The Path of Needles →

Blurb for Sheltered:

Living together unsupervised, five troubled teens confront demonic forces and are compelled to deal with their problems in distinctly different ways. Paranormal meets psycho meets Goth in this story of a supernatural haunting and budding love.

High school junior, Ben, hacks into his step-father’s real estate holdings and provides rooms in an old two-story house to various outcasts: the schizophrenic kid, the angry Goth girl, and the homeless girl who worships him. When Megan needs a place to live she comes to the rooming house with a different set of problems and the ability to confuse and attract Ben.

One by one strange and mysterious occurrences stretch the teens’ beliefs in the supernatural. How they deal with demons, real and imagined, has tragic as well as redeeming consequences. Continue reading Blog Tour: Sheltered →
