Blog Tour: Moonlight Mayhem by Sherry Soule

I am so excited to be taking part in the Moonlight Mayhem blog tour today!

Moonlight Mayhem is the second book in the Spellbound Series by Sherry Soule, you can read my review of the first book Beautifully Broken HERE.

I'm super excited for this book to be released and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy to find what is going to happen to Shiloh this time around!

As part of the blog tour I have a guest post from Sherry about her love for YA books.

So here you go, and enjoy!

Hi everybody, I’m author, Sherry Soule—waving from the SF Bay Area, where it can get

pretty foggy. And I can’t believe that summer’s finally here, and even with the fog burning

off by afternoon, I’m cranking the air conditioner and chatting on Twitter about my love of

reading.

Thanks for letting me visit today as part of my epic Moonlight Mayhem Blog Tour. It’s an

honor to be a guest and meet all these awesome booklovers.

Thus far, my tour has been so much fun for me and all the followers that participated. It is

nice seeing the familiar names in the comments at each stop. For those of you who haven’t

heard of my super fun Moonlight Mayhem blog tour it’s not too late to join!

Like many of you, I’ve read hundreds of YA books (you’re NEVER too old to read young

adult novels, IMHO) and I can’t actually say I didn’t enjoy them all. Some I loved and I

mean loved, and even felt compelled to email the author to let her know how much I

enjoyed her book. Other novels became good friends that I didn’t want to ever part with, so

they adorn my bookshelves and wait to be reread again one day. Others were simply read

and disregarded with a contented smile.

Each reader has different tastes in books. Most of you will have diverse genres that are

like old friends, and probably some of my favorite ones are simply your satisfied sighs

and forgotten reads. That is what makes the world of YA so dang fascinating. We all like

different types of characters, plots, and of course, a writer’s voice, the way only they can

tell a story.

As you can probably tell if you’d read my books, I tend to write dark, tormented heroines.

I love the angst of a female protagonist trying to come to terms with some dark secret or

horrific event in her past, and usually, she ends up facing this fear, weakness, or threat,

with a strong hero by her side. I also enjoy writing suspense and romance, with a dash of

horror. Oh!—and I love to create an evil villain that is unquestionably devious, but complex.

My antiheroes always possess some redeeming features. Because of these factors, I think

it makes them much more interesting villains. And my heroines are typically intelligent,

snarky, and full of fight. Like my girl, Shiloh Ravenwolf—she’s feisty, witty, and kickbutt.

You gotta admire her spunk and determination. When I grow up, I wanna just like her…

I love hearing from avid YA readers at www.sherrysoule.blogspot.com You can send me an

email with any questions you have about the series and or if you just want to drop me a line

and tell me how much you enjoyed my stories via email. Or join my Twitter for a fun chat!

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today Sherry, I'll be keeping my eye out for Moonlight Mayhem being released on July 1st so I can get my copy!

MOONLIGHT MAYHEM Blurb:

Otherworldly Creatures. Dazzling Magic. Fiery Romance.

Shiloh Ravenwolf thought she was getting used to the strange events in Whispering Pines,

until the full moon brings another surge of supernatural threats to her coastal town.

Ferocious wolves, deadly necromancers, and shambling zombies have descended upon the

neighborhood, so Shiloh needs to gain control of her magical abilities—fast!

It sucks that she has a crippling fear of the dark, which for a demon hunter can be an epic

problem.

When her classmates are attacked by a mysterious creature and her father is murdered,

Shiloh vows vengeance. Forcing her phobias aside, she forms an unlikely coven of

supernaturally gifted teens to help her eradicate this menace. Except that's not all Shiloh

has to worry about. She’s battling a different monster within herself and struggling not to

become the very thing she fights: evil.

But with demon blood inside her—anything can happen…

Moonlight Mayhem is the second novel in the unforgettably epic Spellbound series

Review: Tangled Threads (Elemental Assassin #4) - Jennifer Estep

Name: Tangled Threads (Elemental Assassin #4) 

Author: Jennifer Estep

Release Date: 16th April 2011

Date I finished it: 3rd June 2012

Source: Audio-book

Rating:

Every book in this series just keeps getting better and better!

This is the fourth book in the Elemental Assassin series and by now I am feeling pretty attached to Gin and the other characters in her world.

This time around Mab Monroe has hired Elektra LaFleur, an electric elemental to kill The Spider. Elektra is also going after Gin on the side as a favour, unknown that the two are the same person. Elektra gets a bit of a surprise when the truth comes out.

I feel like I should be having a total fan girl moment right now, I love Gin Blanco, she is my new favourite book character. With every book I feel a little bit more closer to her, gosh I wish she was real!

Gin is witty, quick thinking and funny. I love every word that comes out her mouth in this book. She has that kind of spark that a main character needs to keep your attention.

I'm listening to this series on audio, but I really think I need to buy the paperbacks soon, just to have them on my shelf! 

Jennifer Estep's writing once again pulled me into Gin's exciting world of Ashland, full of gangsters, assassins and trouble lurking around every corner.

I don't want to delve to much into the plot as I don't want to spoil the series for anyone not caught up yet. Lets just say I'm really happy how this one ended. I finally feel like there was some closure on the family situation.

None of the books in this series have been a let down, and I've already started Spider's Revenge, the fifth book. I'm excited to see what is in store next for Gin.
