EXCERPT:

Beads of sweat broke out along my hairline. I wiped them away, tightened my ponytail, and ran faster along the dirt trail, jumping over exposed roots and ducking under low-hanging branches. Pine trees, firs, and alders turned my path into more of an obstacle course than a trail.

A twig snapped behind me.
I glanced back, but didn’t see anything. Probably just a raccoon.
My sneaker hit a root and my arms flew in front of me. I landed on my hands and knees, and slid down an incline. Rocks and branches dug into my skin until I crashed into a huckleberry bush.
I stood and dusted myself off. Blood dripped from my legs. I pulled twigs, dirt, and small rocks from the cuts.
“Nice work, Victoria,” I muttered to myself.
Sasha had said I shouldn’t have gone into the forest for my first jog. But having just moved to the beautiful Olympic Peninsula, I wasn’t about to join a club when I had the great outdoors. Birds chirped all around and a stream bubbled nearby. It was like the woods were telling me I’d made the right choice.
Another snap.
“Who’s there?” I sounded a lot braver than I felt. My heart thundered against my ribcage and I whipped my head around. My roommates had said the woods were safe, but I was also trusting people who had been strangers only a couple days earlier.
Why had I gone into the woods alone? Wasn’t that how half of all horror movies started?
I thought of Sasha running on a treadmill, flirting with cute college guys. Maybe she was the smart one.
Footsteps.
“Hello?” I called.
Nothing. The birds had even stopped singing.
“Is anyone there?”
The footsteps came closer.
My pulse drummed in my ears. I fought to breathe normally.
A small gray and black wolf stepped out from behind the tree. He made eye contact with me.
I didn’t move a muscle, holding its gaze.

***Book Blitz*** Broken Fate By Jennifer Derrick

Broken Fate
Jennifer Derrick
Published by: Clean Teen Publishing
Publication date: April 18th 2016
Genres: Mythology, Romance, Young Adult

Zeus gave her one simple job: Kill every human. Atropos—daughter of Zeus and the third goddess of Fate from Greek mythology —spends her eternal life snipping human lifelines when their mortal lives are over. As if being a killer doesn’t make life miserable enough, she and her Fate-wielding sisters must live amongst the humans on Earth thanks to a long-running feud between their mother and Zeus. Living on Earth means they must mingle with the mortals, attend the local high school, and attempt to fit in—or at least not stand out too much.
Killing and mingling don’t mix, which is why Atropos’ number-one rule is to avoid all relationships with the humans. Caring for the people she has to kill is a fast track to insanity. However, when Alex Morgan walks into her first-period English class, she knows she’s in for trouble. He’s the worst kind of human for her to like—one with a rapidly approaching expiration date. And he makes Atropos want to break all the rules.

EXCERPT:

I turn off my desk lamp and computer, starting to get up, but then sit back down. My curiosity about Alex has been building all day. I’ve tried to tamp it down, to forget him, but I can’t. Even Chloe’s chatter couldn’t take him out of my thoughts. I boot the computer back up and give in to temptation.

I search for Alex’s record in our database. What I’m doing isn’t forbidden, but I rarely bother to check on the humans once I assign their manner of death. I forget them until I see them again on their date of death. However, tonight, I want to see what kind of fate Lacey devised for him and refresh my memory about how and when he’ll die.
I find his file but just as I’m about to double click and open it, I pull back. Do I really want to know what Lacey has planned for him? He’s already faced grief and loss. What if his fate gets worse than that? Do I want that knowledge?
I think for a few moments and decide it doesn’t really matter either way. He and I aren’t going to become friends. I enjoyed our afternoon together, but that has to be the end of it. If his fate is bad, I can live with it. He is, after all, just another human. Easy come, easy go.
I double click on the file. His entire past and future lies before me. I scroll down to the end of the document, looking for the relevant part, the date of death. I don’t have to scroll far.
May fifteenth of this year.
I read the page again. The date doesn’t change. May fifteenth is a little less than two months from now. I quickly scroll back up, looking for the details on how he will die. I’m furious when I find them.

Her interest in storytelling began when she was six and her parents gave her a typewriter for Christmas and agreed to pay her $.01 per page for any stories she churned out.

Review :

“Having you here with me.” He closed his eyes and lowered his head so that our
foreheads touched. “My body wants to make love to you, but my killer instinct wants to kill you!” Oh God, those are words you never want to hear together in the same sentence.
     
Hmmm where do I start. Lets start with our guy Kyran! :D I have to firstly say that I absolutely loved his entrance. Although having read the same kind of entrance in many books in the past, it NEVER GETS OLD! :D You see considering that I'm a sucker for these mysterious type of guys it was given that I would love this too.
 Moving on to Marjorie. Marjorie as she describes herself used to kind of be like a spoiled princess. But after a certain incident in the beginning of the book she's changed a bit and has even become a little shy. The first day that Margie sees Kyran she's unable to take her eyes off  him. Who would be able to if hypnotic grey eyes are looking directly at you? I know I wouldn't! *Grins*
  Kyran seems nice enough in the start not really paying attention to anyone in particular but her. But when he suddenly starts seeming angry at her for no reason and looking as if he's in pain, Margie knows not everything is as it seems. Over the course of the story Kyran and Margie's relationship progresses.

 “Damnit, Kyran, don’t test me because I’ll knock that pretty little head of yours right off those broad shoulders.” Was I giving him a compliment while
simultaneously threatening to decapitate him? Leave it to me to come up with a sentence like that one.

 Another character that I loved was Tracy. I found her to be  a great addition to the story. 
By the time I was halfway through the book I was so hooked in that I couldn't stop turning the pages. Loved the chemistry between Kyran and Marjorie. It was just the way I love it. and oh how i wish Alexis gets his own happy ending seeing that he has feelings for Margie otherwise this would become a seriously awkward love triangle. We all know from the summary that the concept of the story is about a werewolf but it was said in a different way. A way I  haven't read about werewolves before.  
All the characters in the Rousseau family were amazing. Be it Alexis, Gage, Josephine or the others. I loved them all .They way they showed their love for each other portrayed the true essence of what being a family is all about. The only complain I have is the cover. I believe this story could have gotten a better ad unique cover which actually would have suited this amazing story. Other than that I loved this  book and would recommend it to one and all. Especially Twilight fans! :)

Rating : 5/5 Stars

Excerpt :

The bat connected with something solid, and a soft grunt escaped the man’s lips, followed by a 
soft oath that would’ve put even the meanest of sailors to shame. 

“Are you trying to kill me? What the hell are you doing?” 

Wait just a second, I know that voice. 
“Kyran? Kyran!” I couldn’t believe my eyes. He really was standing there, clad in nothing but a 
pair of jeans. 

“Are you trying to behead me?” His expression was one of puzzlement and anger combined. 
“I was, actually.” He rubbed his forearm vigorously and I deduced that was where the bat made 
contact. Boy, I had the worst aim ever. How did I manage to hit his arm when I was aiming for 
his head? 

“Why?” he snapped. 

That did it. That tone he used infuriated me all over again. “Oh, hold on just a second here. I 
should be asking all the questions, not you. What the hell are you doing roaming around my 

house in the middle of the night anyway? What kind of sick pervert are you?”

“This isn’t your house. Haven’t you noticed we’re in the middle of the woods?” God, I wanted to 
slap him so bad. 

“The hell we are! This is my father’s land and you’re trespassing.” He scoffed, and I had the 
sudden urge to go for a second blow. This close, I was pretty confident I would make a crude 
indentation in his skull.
“Do you enjoy peeping at other people? Is that, like, something you get off on?” 

Had I not been so angry, I would’ve laughed at his expression. His face registered shock, 
disbelief, and surprise all at once. 

“No! I’m not that kind of person,” he barked. 

“Really? ’Cause I’m pretty sure it was you I saw here last night, and I’m really pissed off right 
now. You better have a good excuse as to why you’re walking around on my father’s property 
half naked.” 

He turned his face away and refused to answer. 

“All right, I’m calling the police.” I didn’t have my cell, but hell, he didn’t know that. 

“What’re you going to call the police with, the bat?”
Damn him. “No, I…have…my cell.” Somewhere out there, where it’s doing me no good. 
He sneered. “Right.”
“You didn’t answer my question, Kyran. What’re you doing out here?” 
“What’re you doing out here?” 
“Damn it, Kyran, don’t test me because I’ll knock that pretty little head of yours right off those 
broad shoulders.” Was I giving him a compliment while simultaneously threatening to decapitate 
him? Leave it to me to come up with a sentence like that one. 

“I’d like to keep my pretty little head, thank you very much,” he said hotly. His answer, however 
sarcastic it was, almost made me laugh and I had to bite my lower lip to keep from smiling. He 

looked so cute when he was annoyed.

Deadlocked (Sookie Stackhouse #12) By Charlaine Harris Review

Deadlocked By Charlaine Harris 

Series : Sookie Stackhouse #12

Hardcover: 327 pages

Published May 1st 2012 by Gollancz

Characters : Sookie Stackhouse, Bill Compton, Sam Merlotte, Jason Stackhouse, Eric Northman

First Sentence : "It was hot as the six shades of Hell even this late in the evening, and I’d had a busy day at work."

Last Sentence : “Sure, Sam,” I said, very quietly. “Another day.”

Summary :

Sookie has a murder investigation on her hands.

A young girl has died at a vampire party - and it looks as though her lover, Eric, might be responsible. Eric swears he didn't do it, the police don't believe him, and even Sookie isn't so sure. Nor is she inclined to take his word for it, not having caught him enjoying the victim's blood minutes before she was killed.

But something strange is going on. Why had Sookie been asked to come to the fateful party a few minutes early - just to catch Eric in the act? And why had the victim spiked her own blood before approaching Eric? Was it simply because she wanted to be irresistable, or was it something more sinister?

Sookie will have to find out ... but it's the worst moment to investigate, as her Fae family are having troubles of their own and Sookie is, inevitably, drawn in. And there is one last complication. The cluviel dor her grandmother left her. It will grant her one wish, which could fulfil Sookie's heart's desire. The only problem is, she still doesn't know what - or who - her heart truly desires .

Review :

I have to be honest and say that I actually enjoyed this book compared to the past couple books in the series. At the heart of Deadlocked is a solid murder mystery – who killed the girl Eric was last seen drinking from, and why dump her body on his front lawn? There are endless potential suspects and motivations. The murder mystery, the fantasy action and Sookie’s Fae relatives perhaps take up a larger than usual part of the story line – leaving little space for Sookie’s ongoing domestic drama with Eric. Their relationship is subdued and bad tempered for the most part but with a new character introduced (Freyda, Queen of Oklahoma) that side of the storyline would appear to be gearing up for a big showdown in a last series instalment.

There is little romantic development for Sookie in Deadlocked (something that is sure to disappoint some fans who might have been expecting more Eric and Sookie revelations after the build up to Eric’s forced betrothal to Freyda in the previous book, Dead Reckoning) but with the complex mystery to be solved and no shortage of fantasy interest provided by the Fae staff and strippers at Hooligan’s who has time for romance?

Witnesses go missing and evidence turns up that suggests to the Sookie and vampires that this was a set up. Sookie does a little bit of investigating of her own but every clue she discovers just leads to more questions. Unravelling this mystery, wrapped in an enigma, takes up the majority of the novel and leaves readers guessing until ultimately reaching a satisfying conclusion when all is finally revealed.

Deadlocked makes a gripping and engrossing read – a one- or two-sitting reading is a distinct possibility here – so take my advice and remember to finish your chores and switch off the phone before turning the opening pages.
